Italia: Representing the core of the First Empire after the Contraction, Italia remained one of the most powerful regions in the world. After the unification of the Frankish and Roman states by Charlemagne, Italia became the seat of the Second Empire. Holding the seat of government and the de-jure centers of power for most of the next 1200 years, Italia's significance has waxed and waned, but never fallen.

Francia: From first founding by Charlemagne to its devastation in the Bonaparte Rebellions, Francia held the de-facto centers of power from the beginnings of the Second Empire until the end of the Bonaparte Rebellions. Despite the splitting off of Aquitaine and the loss of its coastal territory following the Internal Wars of the 1300-1400's, Francia remained both the economic and military powerhouse of the various formal Roman states until the establishment of the Roman Imperial Republic in 1830

Wessex-Londinium: Created with the fusion of the Kingdom of Wessex and the City-State of Londinium after the Second Empire reestablished itself in Britain, Wessex-Londinium occupied the whole of Roman territory in Britain up to the ancient boundary of Hadrian's Wall until it gained additional territory after the Internal Wars. Where the Industrial Revolution found first root in Roman territory, the only thing keeping Wessex-Londinium from economic domination of the Republic is its limited land area.

Aquitaine: Split off from Francia after the Internal Wars as a way of curbing Frankish power, Aquitaine enjoyed a quiet existence until the beginning of the Bonaparte Rebellions. When Bonaparte first began raising troops, Aquitaine was the primary source. Playing on the feeling that Aquitaine was being used a a pawn by Francia in the Empire's power struggles, Bonaparte was able to gather enough support to deal a nasty defeat to the Frankish nobility. With the rebellion ultimately culminating in the brutal end of both the Emperor and Bonaparte himself, Aquitaine was looked down on even more in the years following. While wounds have healed in the last 100 years, Aquitaine remains a hotbed of potential revolutionary activity.

Pannonia: A merger of a disorganized bag of territories after the establishment of the Imperial Republic in 1830, Pannonia is home to a rapidly growing industrial base. With the combination of established fixtures like steelmaking and the new oil fields, Pannonia is where citizens of the empire go to strike it rich. For those who succeed, the new wealth continually injects itself into the high-society of the Republic with sometimes interesting results. Those who do not succeed litter the streets. Within the last few years, Pannonia has seen several forward-thinking social programs get enacted to help the downtrodden.
