The Imperial State of Cárinansia was a state existing between 1827 and 1965, that comprised of southern Askihuac, and most of Lekeadia. Its government was an absolute monarchy under the rule of Emperor Alberto I, his son Alberto II, and his great-great grandson Alberto V, and a representative parliamentary constitutional monarchy under the rule of Emperor Alberto III, and his son Alberto IV. A centuries-old colony of the Arcadian Empire, tensions between the central government and descendants of colonists had risen over the preceding years, as protectionist measures were imposed to defend the Arcadian economy. The ultimate culmination of the Moncovia Incident, resulted in the generally-accepted beginning of the war for independence. Taking place between 1814 and 1827, Viscount Sextus Voteporix Gaius, a direct descendant of Emperor Remus Caesar Augustus declared himself Emperor Alberto I on June 16, 1827. This officially marked the beginning of an independent Carinansian state.

Unlike most of the neighboring Arcadian Oikoian states, Carinansia had political stability, vibrant economic growth, respect for civil rights of its subjects. Slavery was abolished in 1835, although it was later reinstated in 1945. The Empire's unicameral parliament was initially appointed by the Emperor, but following political reform under subsequent rulers, it was elected under comparatively democratic methods for the era, as were the provincial and local legislatures.

Imperial Senate

The upper house of the Imperial Congress was composed of three types of member: Hereditary Lords, Non-hereditary appointments as lords for life, and the country’s leading members of the clergy. Originally this entailed members of the Solarian Church to participate in Senate meetings, but following the Cárinansian Reformation, only Emperor-appointed ecclesiastical figures were permitted to attend.

Of the Hereditary Lords, 20 were members of the country’s original six noble houses, established with ducal appointments shortly after Alberto I’s coronation.

House Cortés

Formed in June 1827, after Beltran Cortes was made the first Duke of Solicalco, it was the oldest family in the Imperial Senate.
