The Empire of Austenasia was established on 20 September 2008 by Terry and Jonathan Austen, a father and son. Terry became the first Emperor, while Jonathan served as Austenasia’s inaugural Prime Minister.

The Empire regards itself as a successor to the Roman Empire, reviving imperial rule in former Roman territories while also expanding beyond its historical boundaries.

Christianity has historically been the dominant religion in Austenasia, leading to its designation as the Empire’s official faith in 2017. However, no particular denomination is favored, and constitutional law upholds the right of all Austenasians to follow any religion or none.

A Brief History

Emperor Terry I abdicated on 15 February 2010, plunging the nation into a brief crisis as his son and heir, then-Prime Minister Jonathan Austen, refused to take the throne. He was succeeded by the second-in-line, Lord Esmond, who ascended as Emperor Esmond III. Since then, Austenasia has been ruled by several monarchs, including Emperor Declan I, Emperor Jonathan I Augustus, and Emperor Aggelos I.
