The Empire of Castarcia (Celtic: Impireacht na Castarcia) was the historical Castarcian nation state that existed from the conquest and subsequent unification of the Lyraleans, the Cyprenians, the Paroveans and the Casturonians with the Castarcians under Empress Jane (commonly referred to as 'The Conqueror') in 876, to the death of Empress Emilia in the war of 1703.
A Castarcian Empress of the times had complete control over the territories of the Empire, although standard practice was for an Empress to allow her sister(s) (if any) to rule the principalities of the Empire, where they would serve as a vassal. For example, during the reign of Empress Emilia, Princess Annabelle ruled the area of Lyralea, whereas Princess Angelina ruled the area of Casturonia. If an Empress had no sisters to fill positions, brothers were allowed to rule if they were married. It was not uncommon practice for cousins, nephews or nieces, or an Empress's own children to be placed in charge of sub-queendoms. If there were no suitable relatives, oftentimes members of noble families were chosen.
Across 827 years, the Castarcian Empire had a total of 45 Empresses, all of the same dynasty.
