Laetaris

The Imperijal Federation of Laetaris, also known as just the Imperija of Laetaris, is a small coastal kingdom based in the continent of Rozakkora in the form of a constitutional monarchy. It first came into existence on 07/04/2024, and immediately started off as a small city-state. However, overtime it has grown and currently has two smaller vassal states. It remains relatively unknown to the outside world except to it's neighbors due to the sheer amount of wars Laetaris has engaged in. In 382 AD, Laetaris adopted Core Gonfism as it's state religion, although secular political culture is the norm.
== History ==
==== Pre-Abexilas History ====
The people of Laetaris primarily descended from the citizens of the Eldhamite nation of the Grand Duchy of Taevernis. The serene Duchy contained a bustling active capital with smaller towns on the outskirts. However, a growing political divide amongst the peoples brought great civil turmoil, leading to Taevernis' parent nation of Mytran forcing the dissolution of the Nation and the seperation of its peoples. The Lyderis at the time, known as Leon Laetaris, and his brothers on the council were descended from the same line that once founded the Grand Duchy and sought to find the same paradise for their loyal people.
The Lyderis and his brothers found land in the nation of Ritte an tola, where it seemed they had been welcomed with open arms and warm hearts. A quaint settlement was set up on the banks of a river surrounded by steep hills to watch over the town. The town grew very fast over the next few days with rapid construction coming with it, including a illustrious bridge and town hall having been built. However, the overseers of Ritte an tola found fear in this prosperity and patriotism to the new found paradise, leading to groups devoting more support to the now Lyderis. 
The fears of the growing independence in Laetaria and support for the Lyderis continued to worsen in the Ritte an tolan government. Officials demanded the social integration of laetarins with ritte an tolans. However, the Laetarins refused and still continued to live with themselves, which angered the government heavily. Signs began to be posted up around the streets of Laetaria calling for the Devotion to the Lyderis, and official dislike to the laetarian overseerers. The leader of the CLG, a radicalist loyalist group to the Lyderis, was exposed and banished which caused even more tension and further oppression to the people.
==== Post-War of the Comet ====
After the continued oppression and further reduction in civil liberties to the Laetarian people, The Lyderis made the decision to lead the loyal people away from what was described as a "false paradise" and seek a new homeland to settle. After evacuating his people through a portal, the Lyderis began setting up the new Imperija of Laetaris after exploring Rozakko'ra. 
In 382 AD, Atomik Laetaris, the new Lyderis, adopted Core Gonfism as the new state religion of Laetaris after years of war and strife. He also held the country's first parliamentary elections, which were won mostly by the National Liberal Bloc coming in at 50% of the vote.
== Geography and Culture ==
==== Geography ====
Laetaris is located in the Continent of Rozakko'ra, which is mostly coastal but has a significant amount of forestry. The weather is regularly warm due to how coastal the nation is. Towns are mostly unconnected to each other in Laetaris, with most colonies now being overseas instead of on the mainland. The weather in overseas colonies tends to vary. For instance, the town of Salta-Žemė is regularly cold and unable to grow crops or food. 
==== Culture ====
The culture of Laetaris can be characterized as being one of patriotism and relaxation at the same time, with Laetaris being one of few countries to have very few wars. Houses and homes are mostly built in the 15th century medieval styles. Although the state religion of Laetaris is the Core Gonfist Church, the political environment and culture is mostly secular in nature. However, in recent years the Church has been noticeably growing in power, with a representative of the church being awarded a seat on the high council.
== Government and Politics ==
==== Foreign and Domestic Policy ====
As a peaceful nation, Laetaris is primarily focused on maintaining peace with its neighbors after constant warfare. However, in domestic policy the government mostly focuses on development of the nation's buildings and peacekeeping. In addition, diversifying the economy is a key part of Laetaris's domestic policy issues.
The political culture of Laetaris is generally very relaxed and oriented in favor of pragmatism, as there have been no extremist parties emerging from the country. However, the Lyderis wields almost absolute power due to his powers not being mentioned in the Laetaris Legal Code, which serves as the de facto constitution of the Imperijal Federation of Laetaris. In practice, these absolute powers are rarely exercised and Lyderis Atomik Laetaris has kept the country on a steady path towards democracy, rarely interfering with politics.
Term limits have not been defined for any of the government members since the foundation of the nation and the promulgation of the Laetaris Legal Code.
==== Government Structure ====
Although the structure is regularly subject to change, the government is led by a Chancellor, who works on domestic policy and is elected seperately from the senate. As of to date, there have been no elections for the Chancellery since the election of orangespaceman, and the government remains authoritarian. 
The Chancellor leads the High Council, which is the government of the Imperijal Federation of Laetaris. Under the High Council are usually the governors who lead overseas towns and colonies. The governors are responsible to the Lyderis, although they are autonomous in practice due to how far they are from the mainland. 
The legislature of Laetaris is the Senate, which currently consists of 20 seats. Some of these seats consist of papal representatives and state representatives. The currently dominant party is National Liberal Bloc, led by Abbot Harriet Prym-Ronango'O and the incumbent chancellor, Orangespaceman.
==== Military ====
Laetaris's standing military is complex. The Laetaris Crowned Forces, headed by titular Marshal Konstantinos Palaiologos en Olea, Duke of the Imperial House of Olea, are currently undergoing reform and engage in gendarmerie policing on top of being the sole defense force of the country. 
During times of war, Laetaris will receive help from the Core Gonfist Church's Inquisitors, headed by the Cardinal Chancellor Militaris. This is due to the fact that Laetaris has Gonfism as it's state religion. As such, all Gonfist nations are under protection by the church.
