Principality of Lihex

The Principality of Lihex was a sovereign state in Ogulas for two periods from 1096 to 1567 and from 1688 to 1753, covering the Lihexian Plateau. It had land borders with the Republic of Thanor to the west and north, the Kingdom of Endra to the east and the Kingdom of Pyrus to the south. It had a small portion of coastline with the Great Western Ocean in the south west.
The Principality of Lihex had a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of government, although significant powers were held by the Prince of Lihex. The capital city was Iceberg.
== History ==
Settlement by anatomically modern humans of what was to become the Principality of Lihex occurred in waves beginning about 18,000 years ago. By the end of the region's prehistoric period (c.2,900 BSR), the population is thought to have belonged, in the main, to a culture termed Pythorian. Following the collapse of Thanorian rule in 1096 caused by internal strife, the region settled by the these Pythorians became unified as the Principality of Lihex, in spite of Thanorian attempts to reconquer the region.
During the five and a half centuries of its first existence the Principality of Lihex fought almost continually with the Republic of Thanor to maintain its independence.
However, during the Great Northern War (1558-1567) the Principality was overrun by the Thanorians and annexed into the Republic of Thanor in 1567.
Attempts by an alliance of states against the Republic of Thanor during the Nine Years' War (1627-1636) failed to gain the independence of Lihex. However, as part of the peace treaty following the 3rd Pyro-Thanorian War (1682-1688) the Principality of Lihex gained it's independence once more.
Despite a long period of peace at the beginning of the 18th century, war erupted with the Kingdom of Pyrus in 1752 with the Floe Major War, following the assassination of the King of Pyrus, allegedly by agents of the Kingdom of Anzio. The following year Lihex was conquered by Pyrus.
