Kertosono, formally the Empire of Kertosono (Kertic: ꦤꦒꦫꦶꦏꦫꦗꦤ꧀ꦏꦼꦂꦠꦱꦤ, Nagari Karajan Kêrtåsånå, lit. "State of the Empire of Kertosono"), and until 2004 known as the Kertic Empire is a state in XXX in Eurth. It borders XXX , YYY, ZZZ.
Ambitions and ideas of a pan-Kertic state emerged during the mid 19th century when growing trade volumes and diplomatic interactions were observed between the fractured Kertic states. These states were often part or vassals of larger kingdoms and duchies which have been granted autonomy. As a result, dozens of Kertic states existed during the "fractured period" when no singular government ruled over the majority of the Kertic peoples. However, beginning in the mid 19th century, the Kingdom of Ngawi, becoming much more powerful and dominant in Kertic affairs, invited the other states to secure pan-Kertic interests both domestically and abroad, and eventually agreed upon the creation of a Pan-Kertic confederation which was the predecessor to the Kertic Empire. With ties becoming closer with the creation of the pan-Kertic confederation, many saw the inevitability of Kertic state being created, with Ngawi as its leader.
In 1901, the treaties of union were signed by 32 kingdoms, duchies, and other polities, unifying them under one banner, common foreign policy, defense, and parliament, however each polity which existed prior to this declaration was still respected, and the once independent kingdoms became subdivisions of a greater empire. As a result, the local nobility still has a great presence in the governance and civil life of virtually all entities.
Kertosono is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy with the monarch of Ngawi serving as the emperor of Kertosono as a whole. The powers of the emperor are limited by the 1901 constitution and to a lesser extent the parliament. As a federation, the country is very devolved, and each political entity possess their own constitutions and laws which must adhere to the 1901 constitution and other national laws agreed by parliament.
