The House of Santiago-Santander is a Constancian princely House of Alexandrian origin, and is a branch of the Primo de Aguilar family, a branch of the House of Osman, and part of the Simrani branch of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion.
It was founded by virtue of a Decree issued on 18.X.1667 by the Prince of Molivadia in his capacity as Autokrator of Constancia, and is a corporation sole within the Imperial State of Constancia, governed under the Imperial Prerogative and such Rules as the Prince of Molivadia may be pleased to promulgate. It is presently the ruling dynasty of the Imperial State of Constancia, the Principality of Arboria, the Viscounty of Lumenetra, and the Lordship of Delfinenstrand.
Title
The initial title of the House was Prince of Molivadia of the Imperial State of Constancia, but the Principality of Arboria of Natopia was soon added to the House, as well as the Lordship of Delfinenstrand and the title of Duchess of Mar Sara, in the peerage of Arboria.
Upon ascension of the paterfamilias as sovereign of the Imperial State of Constancia, with the regnal name Giakoumis, the titles of Basileus and Basileusa were also added to the House.
History
Rumors of there being factional infighting between the Head and Lady of the House during 1696 and 1697, in light of the Eugenia Aguilar affair were periodically dismissed as scurrilous libels and conjecture, although the eventual fate of Catarina de Todos los Santos u-Kart was deemed to be an object lesson as to who really held the power in the conjugal coronets.

Wealth and Possessions
The House of Santiago-Santander, by virtue of its Paterfamilias, the first Prince of Molivadia, privately owns all 370,944 square kilometers of the Principality of Molivadia in the Imperial State of Constancia.
By virtue of Her Serene and Eminent Imperial Highness the Princess Esmeralda al-Osman of Molivadia, who is also concurrent reigning Princess of Arboria, the House indirectly exerts great political and socioeconomic interest over the disparate and productive agricultural lands of the Principality of Arboria of the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation. On 8.VII.1688, Áþamé Issèla Mari Vāstra, Regent for the Prince of Whales, bestowed the lordship of Delfinenstrand in Whales on Prince Iñigo. Days later, on 27.VII.1688, Kaiseress Salome raised Esmeralda to the Imperial Shirerithian Peerage, with the style and dignity of Viscountess of Lumenetra, along with the lands and furnishings of the Viscounty of Lumenetra.
The Osman-Aguilar Holdings Corporation, a corporation registered and operating under the laws of the Imperial State of Constancia, and domiciled in Raspur but with offices in Nivardom and Aqaba is said to be the primary corporate vehicle with which the House manages its private commercial interests. It is also said that the global interests of the Arborian quasi-state corporation, the Transegale Trading Company and its numerous multinational subsidiaries, also contribute much revenue in this regard. It is undisputed that the present concurrent role of the Prince of Molivadia, Autokrator of Constancia as Director of Financial and Legal Services of the ESB-Jörmungandr Group, Inc. also contributes significantly in this regard.
The family wealth is conservatively estimated to be several billion Natopos.
