The '''Kustannuksan Empire''' (Kustannan: ''Kustannuksalainen Imperiumi''), more commonly referred to as simply '''Kustannuksa''', is a sovereign confederation of states located in the north of [[Bailtem (Pacifica)|Bailtem]], bordered by the [[Dacian Federation]], [[New Altnavia]] and [[Amberholde]] in the north, [[Andrendia (Pacifica)|Andrendia]] in the east, [[Arnchow (Pacifica)|Arnchow]] in the south, and the South Pacific Ocean to the west.  
The '''Kustannuksan Empire''' (Kustannan: ''Kustannuksalainen Imperiumi; Vedangari: कुस्तन्नुक्सन साम्राज्य''), alternatively known as '''Kustannuksa''' or more rarely as '''Kustanna''', is a sovereign federation of states located in northern [[Bailtem (Pacifica)|Bailtem]], bordered by the [[Dacia (Pacifica)|Dacian Federation]], [[New Altnavia]] and [[Amberholde]] in the north, [[Andrendia (Pacifica)|Andrendia]] in the east, and the South Pacific Ocean to the west. Kustannuksa's territory is mainly characterized by expansive plains in the north and south-east, and large mountain chains concentrating in the west and center. Kustannuksa has a mostly tropical rainforest climate, although other tropical climates can be found in the south, as well as oceanic and tundra climates which can be found at higher altitudes in the mountain chains. Kustannuksa has a total area of 783,286 km<sup>2</sup>, and a population of 159 million (as of 2024), which makes it the [[List of countries by area (Pacifica)|third largest country by area]], and the [[List of countries by population (Pacifica)|second most populous country]] in the [[South Pacific (Pacifica)|South Pacific]].  


The Empire was founded on 23rd of March 1524 with the signing of the '''Kolmen Osavaltion Sopimus''' (''usually abbreviated as KOS; literally the "Tri-State Agreement"''), when the '''Timandak Confederation''', the '''Kingdom of Kultansuuni''' and the '''Merenkul Monarchate''' joined the new federal state. Even after the formal dissolution of these nations, their previous ruling classes, governments and aristocracies still continued to hold notable power, as the federal nature of the Empire continued to give them plenty of autonomy; some even became more powerful, as they were appointed by the governments of their states as members of the new Imperial Senate. Most notably, the '''Violetähden''' '''Dinasty''' gained considerable amounts of power in the new government thanks to election of '''Emine''' '''Hürrem Violetähden''' as '''Hallits''' (''Empress'') of the Kustannuksan Empire.

Even after the formal dissolution of these nations, their previous ruling classes, governments and aristocracies still continued to hold notable power within the new government, as the federal nature of the Empire continued to give them plenty of autonomy: many individuals even became more powerful, as they were appointed by the governments of their states as members of the new Imperial Senate. Most notably the '''Violetähden''' '''Dinasty''' gained considerable amounts of power in the new government thanks to election of '''Emine''' '''Hürrem Violetähden''' as '''Hallits''' (''Empress'') of the new Kustannuksan Empire.
 
Kustannuksa is a federal constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. The country is divided into '''129 Imperial Constituent States''', whose territories match those of the many pre-existing states, cities, lordships and fiefdoms that were annexed by the Empire during the Golden March, or who willingly decided to become constituents. The largest imperial state is '''Mahasoor''', while the most populous one is the '''Timandak'''. Kustannuksa's capital and largest city is [[Pohjoinen (Pacifica)|'''Pohjoinen''']], whose metropolitan area has a population of over 16 million people: other major population centers include the cities of Vostolaue, Etelaisi, Terakvis, Kuninlah, Itarannko and Uusimak.
 
Contemporary Kustannuksa is one of Pacifica's most highly developed nations, having a well developed welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education to its citizens. It ranks very high in quality of life, health and education, and is one of the highest ranking countries in the whole world for the protection of civil liberties, equality, prosperity and human development. The Empire is one of the most stable and prosperous countries within the South Pacific and Pacifica at large which, together with religious freedom and LGBT-rights being deeply engrained within its culture, has attracted a lot of attention from migrants and refugees. 


== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==
Kustannuksa derives from the Old Meruken word "''Kustannuksia''", which can be best translated as "''costs''". However, while the etymology of the word is rather certain, it's meaning isn't: currently available records do not state why it was chosen as the name for the new Empire in the KOS, nor do they contain any hints that might lead scholars to formulate any truly meaningful hypothesis. Certain theories suggest that the translation could hint to the KOS being originally envisioned as an economic alliance, but this is fiercely disputed by most.

== Culture ==
The Kustannuksan Empire has, since it's very foundation, been known for it's '''multiculturalism''', policies of '''racial equality''', '''acceptance of LGBT peoples''', '''gender equality''', '''religious acceptance''' and '''ideological tolerance'''. These values were inherited by the Empire from the three founding nations that preceded it, but were also shared in one form or another by many of the subsequently conquered nations that surrounded them. These cultural values were then codified into law as part of the first '''Imperial Constitution''' of 1524, which is therefore credited as being one of the oldest '''human rights documents''' in history.
=== Value system and society ===


These values can also be seen in the Imperial Government itself, where the highest positions in the Empire (including the '''Hallits''' and '''Imperial Chancellor''') were covered by men, women and non-binary individuals of different races and ethnicities, many of whom were in non-heterosexual marriages and relationships.

The Kustannuksan Empire (Kustannan: Kustannuksalainen Imperiumi; Vedangari: कुस्तन्नुक्सन साम्राज्य), alternatively known as Kustannuksa or more rarely as Kustanna, is a sovereign federation of states located in northern Bailtem, bordered by the Dacian Federation, New Altnavia and Amberholde in the north, Andrendia in the east, and the South Pacific Ocean to the west. Kustannuksa's territory is mainly characterized by expansive plains in the north and south-east, and large mountain chains concentrating in the west and center. Kustannuksa has a mostly tropical rainforest climate, although other tropical climates can be found in the south, as well as oceanic and tundra climates which can be found at higher altitudes in the mountain chains. Kustannuksa has a total area of 783,286 km2, and a population of 159 million (as of 2024), which makes it the third largest country by area, and the second most populous country in the South Pacific.

The Empire was founded on 24th of February 1524 with the signing of the Kolmen Osavaltion Sopimus (usually abbreviated as KOS; literally the "Tri-State Agreement"), when the Timandak Confederation, the Kingdom of Kultansuuni and the Merenkul Monarchate created and subsequently joined the new federal state. Even after the formal dissolution of these nations, their previous ruling classes, governments and aristocracies still continued to hold notable power within the new government, as the federal nature of the Empire continued to give them plenty of autonomy: many individuals even became more powerful, as they were appointed by the governments of their states as members of the new Imperial Senate. Most notably the Violetähden Dinasty gained considerable amounts of power in the new government thanks to election of Emine Hürrem Violetähden as Hallits (Empress) of the new Kustannuksan Empire.

Kustannuksa is a federal constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy. The country is divided into 129 Imperial Constituent States, whose territories match those of the many pre-existing states, cities, lordships and fiefdoms that were annexed by the Empire during the Golden March, or who willingly decided to become constituents. The largest imperial state is Mahasoor, while the most populous one is the Timandak. Kustannuksa's capital and largest city is Pohjoinen, whose metropolitan area has a population of over 16 million people: other major population centers include the cities of Vostolaue, Etelaisi, Terakvis, Kuninlah, Itarannko and Uusimak.

Contemporary Kustannuksa is one of Pacifica's most highly developed nations, having a well developed welfare system that provides universal health care and tertiary education to its citizens. It ranks very high in quality of life, health and education, and is one of the highest ranking countries in the whole world for the protection of civil liberties, equality, prosperity and human development. The Empire is one of the most stable and prosperous countries within the South Pacific and Pacifica at large which, together with religious freedom and LGBT-rights being deeply engrained within its culture, has attracted a lot of attention from migrants and refugees.

Etymology

Kustannuksa derives from the Old Meruken word "Kustannuksia", which can be best translated as "costs". However, while the etymology of the word is rather certain, it's meaning isn't: currently available records do not state why it was chosen as the name for the new Empire in the KOS, nor do they contain any hints that might lead scholars to formulate any truly meaningful hypothesis. Certain theories suggest that the translation could hint to the KOS being originally envisioned as an economic alliance, but this is fiercely disputed by most.
