The Sovereign Aristene Empire, also known simply as Ariston, is a micronational Monarchy dedicated to excellence, creative growth, community, and above all fun. The leadership is based in Pittsburgh, in the land claimed by the American state of Pennsylvania.
The citizens of Ariston have years of experience in micronationalism and seek to bring a new and positive, relaxed, yet active and fun approach to the timeless hobby of nation-building.
From 2004 to the passage of the new Constitution on 31 January 2009, Ariston was the Empire of Septempontia, but has undergone a rededication and a renaissance. It also inherits tradition from the Kingdom of Triparia and the Triselene Imperium, yet resolves to look ever forward — to excellence.
