The [[Constitution of the Vierz Empire|constitution]] made [[Constantine the Great|Constantine I]] the first [[Emperor of Vierzland|emperor]] (or ''{{wp|Kaiser}}'').

By 1830, Vierzland maintained the highest population in Patyria and the largest economy in the world. Vierzland had rapidly {{wp|industrialized}} and its population expanded to approximately 40 million people by 1850. It experienced swift {{wp|urbanization}} as a result of the {{wp|industrial revolution|industrial}} and {{wp|agricultural revolution|agricultural revolutions}}; Adtrus, [[Kasenberg]], [[Bertenau]], and other cities boomed in population and economic power. As a result of {{wp|colonialism}} and {{wp|imperialism}}, it maintained a [[Vierz colonial empire|large network of colonies]] and trade routes stretching from [[the Artalias]] to East [[Oridia]].
