Weisserstein, officially the Weissersteiner Empire (Alman: Weissersteiner Kaiserreich) or informaly as the Imperial Republic of Weisserstein (Alman: Reichsrepublik Weisserstein), is an Almannic nation located in North-Central and Central Cordilia, bordered by Sugovia and Past in the west, the Weissersteiner Sea, the Bay of Lileanen, and the Gulf of Brave Lions to the east. The nation runs mostly along several major rivers, including the Wald, the Rhine, the Kiel, the Weser-Inn, the Saar, the Salzach, and the Oder-Nassau, and is surrounded by several mountain chains, including the Kaisersstolzer Alps and the Sunlandic Highlands.

Early settlement of Almannic groups from Frastinia, namely from modern Gianatla, settled in the lands beyond the Sugo during the Great Migration following the Hazle-Cat War and the Great Calamity, establishing many different polities and states between the 8th and 14th centuries. These states entered into feuds and wars with each other and larger empires around them, namely the Triangular Empire. As part of the larger Grand Crusades, the Weissersteiner kingdoms declare themselves free from Triangular tyranny.

A second wave of colonization occurred in in the late 14th century and early 15th century, when Almans from the Kingdom of Gianlucaland were invited to the region to help with settling the newly-conquered lands by the crusaders. (more history to come)

Weisserstein is divided into X Imperial States, the largest of which being the United Kingdom of Lichtenburg and Rhineland, which itself is divided further into X Crown Lands, one of which houses the capital city of Weisserstein, Kaiserslicht.
