As'rian Commonwealth

The As'rian Commonwealth was an nation based on the western side of Eldham. It was the successor state to both Rasteria and Valore following the reformation of the Verilion Imperium. The As'rian Commonwealth formerly merged with Yaszuma on 1/16/22 creating the Commonwealth of Yaszria. 
== History ==
The As'rian Commonwealth first began as the Verilion Imperium and was created when Aegeus of Valore and Choco of Rasteria decided to merge their respective nations. This was met with a positive reaction in Rasteria, but in Valore this led to a civil crisis (See The Fall of Valore). After the merger, the Verillion Imperium was born with Aegeus and Choco being co-leaders, running their respective lands. During this time, the new nation struggled to find its identity and deal with the fallout of the end of Valore. In order to bring stability to the nation, Aegeus decided it was best for the nation for it to become a protectorate of Uraka. This brought the desired effect as the nation began to settle and stabilize. Awhile later, Choco stepped down from his position as co-leader, making Aegeus leader of all of the nation. Aegeus took this as an opportunity to reboot. He made changes, such as changing the name to the As'rian Commonwealth, adopting a new flag and making the government more democratic, to get the nation ready for a new era.

Number	Autarch 	Archon 	Description
1 	Ardagaur Asellus	Aegeus Asellus/Sesam Kuton (Pre Rasteria Secession and Constititional Reform)
Succeeded by Agetio Sekovich (post secession and Aegeus's abidcataion)	The first administration of The As'rian Commonwealth involved the complete merger of Southern Verilion and Northern Verilion forming the As'rian Commonwealth. During this administration, Autarch Ardagaur entered As'ria into the League fo the Setting Sun (L.S.S.): a new defensive alliance within the Northwest of Eldham. Autarch Ardagaur pulled As'ria out of the Uraka Protectorate Agreement Verilion was under and successfully entered into a Protectorate Agreement under The United Second Empire of Plagatéa. Other notable events which occured during this administartion were the abdication of Aegeus Asellus, the Rasterian Secession, and the advent of the squatters known as the "Atlantian Dukedom".
2 	Agetio Sekovich 	Atrovah Asellus, succeeded by Aegeus Asellus when he returned.	The second administration of The As'rian Commonwealth began with the emergence of the nation of the "Atlantian Dukedom", and this was resolved by Agetio issuing an ultimatum towards these squatters demanding they relinquish their claims on As'rian territory. With the support of As'rian allies, Atlantia backed down and gave in to the demands. Afterward, the city of Tempesta declared independence and war seemed imminent. However, due to a potential war in their southern neighbor of Don Fuer, Agetio needed to make sure they weren't going to fight a war on two fronts. Therefore, he and Tempesta were able to work out a protectorate deal that gave them a certain degree of freedom. Meanwhile, Plagetea began to experience a period of instability. Agetio, long wary of Plagetea, due to previous experience, started to consider leaving the protectorate deal. The final straw was when Plagetea gave Southern As'ria away to another nation, without As'rian permission. This act of betrayal ultimately made Agetio realize that they had to leave the protectorate deal. Tempesta ultimately took this an opportunity to backstab As'ria and leave the protectorate deal. Agetio tried to negotiate and be diplomatic, but Tempesta refused to listen. During this time, As'ria entered into talks with Yaszuma for a merger. Both nations had similar cultures and similar goals. The two governments got together well and decided that it would be best for both nations to merge. After a long period of writing out the constitution, As'ria and Yaszuma merged into Yaszria on the 16th of January 2022.
