Etymology
The nations current name derives from the original declaration of land rights made by the Johgs dynasty upon the conquest of the region of Cenaesia known today as the Midlands Republic subsequent to the conquest of large swaths of southern Cenaesia. In order to effectively manage the newly conquered lands, several large regions were defined as the largest of the newly formed imperial bureaucracy. Among the three administrative divisions created was the Ríochtaí na Córoine, literally meaning the Kingdoms of the Crown.
Following this edict, the newly crowned Ard Rí of Cenaesia stripped the various royal families of the eight kingdoms of their crowns. They were given an alternative title of Arch Duke, held by the senior member of the house, which completed their transformation and assimilation into the newly constructed continent-wide aristocratic class. Additionally, instead of abolishing the crown of each kingdom located inside the modern Crown Kingdoms the Emperor added the titles added to his own.
The assumption of the crowns of each realm was followed by land reforms that resulted in a large quantity of land across the Cenaesian Empire being transferred to the possession of the Ard Rí and the whole of the Joghs house. As a result of the Ard Rí possessing the kingship or crown of each kingdom the administrative name for the land picked up use among commoners and aristocrats alike.
The name was further reinforced when the Crown Army of Moscou defected from the rebel forces led by the former royal family in the Cenaeisan Revolt of 921 and sided with the Ard Rí at the time Tomás Joghs II, with the phrase "all for one" being taken up as a battle cry during the Siege of Moscou.
