Erstes Konsortium (First Consortium) was a Consortium in the nation of Florenta. At first entirely under the rule of Florenta, its influence and power eventually allowed the nation de facto independence for most of its history.
The state, if it could even be called that, was a vast decentralized political organization jointly controlled by millions of organizations, smaller nations, orders, churches, and almost every other type of polity. At its greatest extent, it had official sovereignty over forty stars, all of which were within the core of Martial Space. Emerging immediately after the fall of the Lowuks Entente, Erstes Konsortium is considered to be the successor state of the Triumvirate due to its conquest of nearly all of Martial Space. Its capital was Aegyn, the seat of the Kaiser.
By 8600 CE, Erstes Konsortium had become increasingly centralized as various organizations began controlling large portions of its territory. Most of the military, resource extraction, and population were under the control of these organizations, with the central government controlling very little directly. This created a difficult balancing act as the central government played the organizations against each other to protect itself.
The Gran Rubedo would eventually take over the nation, abolishing Erstes Konsortium and killing the Kaiser shortly after gaining an edge over the central government. They would replace the central government and induct many of the powerful into their party, giving them great control over their new nation.
