Translithania is located in equatorial Aesmund.
Translithania (Officially The Realms of the Sacred and Imperial Crown of St Stanislaus) is a Aesmundian group of quasi-independent/autonomous nations confederated into a single sovereignty by a monarchical personal union. It is situated in the middle of Aesmund and bordered by the Cidalian Ocean, with Hussia to its east and Sjertiva to its west. The seven states, termed dominions, are One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven.
Translithania is rich in oil and other natural resources, although it lacks technical expertise and skilled manpower in exploiting the same, it expects recent additional economic diversification, as well as a change in governmental policy, to draw more foreign firms. The Realms of the Sacred and Imperial Crown of Saint Stanislaus is one of Aurora's leading petroleum exporters and petroleum exports fuel the Translithanian economy. Oil accounts for more than 60 percent of exports and nearly 55 percent of government revenues, facilitating the creation of a welfare state, which the government has found difficult to fund during periods of low oil prices.
Before XXX, Translithania was known as the XXX or XXX, in reference to a date truce between name1other and XXX. The name XXX has also been used in reference to the area's domains in the 18th to early 20th century.

- Main article: Politics of Translithania
The Sacred and Imperial Throne of all the Translithanias is hereditary to the Imperial House of yadda yadda. His Sacred Imperial Majesty Alexander III is currently Head of State and holds absolute power and authority. There is an Imperial Privy Council composed of eminent members drawn from the highest ranks of Translithanian society to offer counsel on a myriad of subjects, but contains little authority. The Prince-Imperial, His Imperial Highness Alexei, is currently Head of Government and handles most of the day-to-day affairs.
His Sacred and Imperial Majesty serves as Head of State and monarch of the Realms of the Crown of St Stanislaus. He holds almost absolute political power, is sacred and inviolable, and cannot be forsworn. He appoints ministers to his Imperial Privy Council who supervise their respective ministries in his name. Certain key ministries are reserved for his appointees, as are most of the primary interior appointments. Most portfolios have traditionally been given to commoners, often with junior nobles serving as their deputies. Members of the nobility also hold many of the Realm's critical military and governmental departmental posts. Ultimate power in the Realm has always rested upon the Imperial Family's deified status, though support from the Sacred and Imperial Privy Council, the diplomatic community, and the population-at-large has been a key to the maintenance of the political status quo.
