Lasia Demeros

The People's Republic of Lasia Demeros, known in its respective language as Laikian er Republe Lasia Demeros, and known in other languages as Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία της Λασίας Δεμέρου (Greek), Народна Република Ласија Демерос (Macedonian), Lasia Demeros Halk Cumhuriyeti (Turkish), جمهوری خلق لاسیا دمروس (Persian), Narodna Republika Lasia Demeros (Bosnian), and Poblachd Sluagh na Lasia (Scottish Gaelic) is a state located in the middle of the Asteron Sea. Populated mostly by mostly native Lasio-Demerians, however there is a significant population of Salian, Golivian, Socatti, Anglevi, Ellines, Anatoliki, Eryni, Alexandri, and Krjobysanti in the nation too, who speak their own respective languages, although the vast majority of the population can speak the official language, Lasio-Demerian, although there are different dialects that are based on the regions in the nation, which are Lasia, Demeros, Seneshale, Ortian, and Zoprian. The country itself was formed as a union out of all of these groups. The national animal, the Lasian Swan, is a symbol of peace and dignity in Lasia Demeros, and is a large aspect of the culture of Lasia Demeros. The national dish, Lasian Cod, is also a great symbol of the nation, as it is said to give good luck to those who eat it. The current currency of the nation is the Solidus, which was adopted in 823 by the King of Lasia Demeros, Ifrigus the Great. The government is a Unitary Constitutional Democracy, in which the majority of the parliament is led by the Lasio-Demerian Republican Democratic Party, and is led by the current president, Syor Bitherone, and the current Prime Minister, Korol Abn Tumnas. The current monarch is Cetheron IV, who is the third king after the restoration of the monarchy, but is the current head of a long lasting dynasty, the House of Faviros, which itself follows a long line of kings of the country. The legislature is the Lasio-Demerian Parliament, and the upper Chamber is the Senate, which is purely an advisory body to the lower chamber, the Popular Assembly. There also exist a third house, the Council of Opinions, a long lasting institution that met once every year, and in which any person who entered the Council's chambers was a part of it for that session, although the Council merely served as an advisory body. The capital city, Melectia, has been the capital since the country's formation. The constitution of Lasia Demeros was written in 1841, turning Lasia Demeros into a Constitutional Monarchy, although since then the state's constitution has needed many revisions and amendments, including the newest one, the Fersey-Horshaw Amendment. 
== Mythological History ==
=== Fehister ve Lasia al Demeros Moae ===
Authors Note: This section was heavily inspired by the Persian Epic 'Shahnameh'.
The Fehister ve Lazio al Demer, or the Lasio-Demerian Line of Kings is a book comprising the pseudohistory of the country, and a legendary dynasty within the country that is credited for much of the institutions of the state. It is one of the most famous works of the country, being written in the 11th century and was commissioned to be written by the King of Lasia Demeros. Generally scholars within and outside the nation view the book as a mythical interpretation praising Lasio-Demerian interpretations, and others believe that the book was attempted to guide the Lasio-Demerian Monarchy on what to do during King Mithras ' Swordfish', as the book was written by his advisor, Leonid Alfir. It is possible that Alfir got the book from a series of myths and legendarium before him. However, today the book is generally seen as a patriotic book, uniting the people of Lasia Demeros under one identity, regardless of language, religion, ethnicity, or culture. According to the book, the first king of Lasia Demeros, and his people, were 'born from the earth themselves'. They were described to be equivalent to the Greek term 'Autochthon', meaning 'borne from the earth', as opposed to the settlers. The first king, Fediar, was appointed as monarch after he won over the people with gifts of great good, as well as the promise of 'equality, freedom, liberty, safety, and equity', which enticed the people of Lasia Demeros to support him instead of his rivals. Fediar himself would be a great king of the lands, supporting and backing the people and the masses as opposed to his more 'powerful subjects', and protecting them from oppression, and he would found the House of Ildradosair to rule the Kingdom. At one point, he was said to have been nearly overthrown by a mob of angry nobles, however he had successfully won the support of the peasants and as such secured his power. Eventually, he sets out to seek adventure, however while he is gone, the nobles successfully take control. He returns to find his country ruled by an oppressive oligarchy, and as such he secretly disguises himself, and uses the magic that he learns, which allowed him to shapeshift, to cause mischief within the oligarchy, until eventually he raises an army to defeat the government and re-establish himself as monarch. During his reign, it is said that he taught his people how to write, how to make fire, how to engage in craftsmanship, blacksmithing, masonry, agriculture, etc., and generally all of the institutions that many modern scholars associate with 'civilization'. It was also said that his governance institutions helped introduce the first social policies and beliefs. 
Fediar reigned for 632 years, before retiring to live in an enclosed cave. Fediar was given the epithet 'the Giver', for his role in teaching humanity many great things during his reign. It is said that all of the legendary monarchs were immortal, but would retire out of the greatness of their hearts, as well as their selflessness. Fediar was succeeded by his son, Oromass. During his reign, it was said that the vengeful oligarchs of the nation, who once spared, fled into exile, returned and cast a spell, bringing a great plague amongst the people of Lasia Demeros, and ridding them of all knowledge in order to prevent them from curing themselves of the plague. Oromass, however, was unaffected, as he was busy campaigning on the continent of Alvotir, in the city of Gilmass, in order to help an allied kingdom fight an invasive one. However, he was immediately informed of his kingdom's plight after he won the battle, and would travel there quickly, intercepting a ship filled with oligarchs planning to take over the country, and blowing the boat across the horizon. Returning, he attempted to use his magic to solve the situation, but found himself lacking in magical prowess to do so. Instead, he introduced the groundworks for the modern day Lasio-Demerian healthcare and education system, instituting universal healthcare and education methods in order to quickly cure themselves of the plague, as well as using his magic to discover cures for disease. After 100 years, the effects of the disaster were gone, and Oromass was given the epithet 'the Restorer', for restoring the country back to before the plague, and helping the country cure it. He was hailed as the creator of better healthcare and medicine, as well as the Lasio-Demerian education system. Oromass would eventually retire after reigning for 712 years. 
Oromass was succeeded by Fayodir, given the epithet Fayodir 'the Equal'. This epithet was given by the fact that Fayodir never lived in the royal palace, instead living in a commoners home. He wore the clothes of the common people, and he ate the same thing as what a commoner would eat. Fayodir also introduced impressive reforms to aid his people. He replaced the trading system with the currency system, however in such he would introduce a government wage program, distributing money to those who most deserved it as the government saw fit. Fayodir also increased taxes on his wealthier population, and decreased taxes amongst the poor. Fayodir centralized the government's tax system as well as the currency system, and introduced a National Treasury and Bank in order to handle the nation's people's money and to increase economic developments. He would develop infrastructure across the country, and also introduced the Government Charity System, giving substantial money to those who could not afford basic needs. Fayodir, despite his popularity amongst the common people, grew ever hated by the current wealthier citizens for his reforms, especially what they considered to be harsh tax methods. As such, a portion of them would overthrow Fayodir, and replace him by his cousin, Varcius. Fayodir however refused to take action amongst this, and although he would in the future lead the rebellion against Varcius, he would refuse to take the throne, insisting that his brother and best friend, Cosus, take it in his stead. Fayodir would be overthrown after his 392nd year of reign, and would retire 5 years after. 
Cosus worked with his brother Fayodir to overthrow the tyrant Varcius. Varcius was Fayodir and Cosus's cousin, and grew jealous of Fayodir's popularity and power as monarch. He believed that he wasn't putting it to good use, and the author implies that Varcius, since he didn't see much of Fayodir, he didn't know how much he was sacrificing. As such, Varcius falsely believed that Fayodir was in a separate palace, much more extravagant than the first. Once Varcius overthrew the previous monarch with the help of the new oligarchs, he would attempt to repeal the reforms of his predecessor, but these attempts were quickly unpopular. A revolution grew against him, lead by Fayodir and Cosus, and after Varcius was overthrown by the revolt, Cosus replaced him. Cosus would decide to spare Varcius, but exile him to another continent where he would fail to gather support to overthrow Cosus. Cosus restored the reforms of his predecessor, and would also introduce new reforms, such as environmental reforms to protect the environment on the island, anti-corruption reforms to ensure a coup wouldn't happen, and reforms aimed at improving the quality of life for the people. These laws included better and more expansive housing, safety regulations for sellable products, as well as safety regulations and guides when working, as well as environmental regulations, requiring people to replant any tree that they cut, etc. As such, Cosus is known as 'the Improver', for he improved the lives of the citizens and the nature of the country. He would retire after his 672nd year of reign. 
Cosus would be followed by Isteros, known as Isteros 'the conqueror'. As his epithet stated, he would go on campaign after campaign, conquering different peoples, and engaging in numerous wars across the continent. He would greatly build up his army and navy, waging constant wars against his enemies. Early in his reign, he treated conquered peoples the same way he would treat his own, however later in his reign it was said that he went mad, oppressing conquered peoples. During his reign, he would conquer the nations according to the book; Tannae the land of Tin, Sholae the land of SIiver, Aunas the land of Gold, Feneger the land of Gems, Terras the land of Copper, Chiros the land of Iron, Autunitia, the land of Green rocks, and Svasus, land of black liquid. Scholars largely debate over where these places are, but the most common interpretation is that Tannae consists of both the modern day nations of Calavus and Sircia, Sholae consists of the modern day nation of Erens, Aunas consists of the modern day nations of Livernorth and Amisos, Feneger could consist of either the modern day nations of Mandar or Vishlecas, Terras consists of the modern day nation of Belorth, Chiros consists of the modern day nation of Isas-Oran, Autunitia consists of the modern day nation of Charlima, and Svasus consists of the modern day nation of Yirion. Over time, he would eventually declare himself to be a god and a deity of the country, which completely ignored the Christian Church in Lasia-Demeros, and the priests would engage in a rebellion against his rule, which would be sadly crushed. However, a rival king to Isteros, Shaeven, King of Tamnas, who was said to be evil, claimed the throne, and rallied a significant amount of supporters against the mad king, who was overthrown and killed after his 412th year of rule. Isteros left behind some descendants and relatives, and the vast majority would flee into hiding after Shaeven would take over. Isteros would leave behind a legacy of terrible conflicts, and as such would be viewed negatively by the author of the book. 
During Shaeven's 52nd year of reign, one of Isteros's descendants gave birth to twins, a daughter Lainae, and a son, Lainas, together with their 9 siblings would be prophesied to overthrow Shaeven and rule his nation and their various kingdoms in their stead. The prophecy would state that the twins would lead an army to destroy Shaeven, and he himself would be killed by the twins, one holding a torch, and the other holding a mace. When Shaeven learned of the prophecy, he was furious. He would lead an army to search for these siblings, whose mother would flee Lasia Demeros to the mainland, and settle them in the land of Asteros, under a friendly king who was opposed to Shaeven, after their father was slain by the evil king himself. There, the siblings when they grew up would begin plotting to overthrow Shaeven, who had already attacked the Kingdom of Asteros. Lainae and Lainas would enlist in the Asterosi army, where they would together lead an army to decimate Shaeven's ranks, and Shaeven himself fled back to Lasia Demeros. However, Shaeven's entire army was gargantuan, and the king of Asteros, Minaser the Wise, advised Shaeven to wait until they gain a larger amount of numbers. Meanwhile, in Lasia Demeros, Shaeven worried that he was a bad king, and he himself would go around asking the people whether or not he was a bad king, and would threaten to kill him if they gave him an answer that he disliked. Shaeven himself had instituted the practice of human sacrifice, which was unpopular amongst the people, and had begun seizing the assets of the people, in order to increase the wealth of his state. As such, when a blacksmith, Elstar Mirovend, attempted to storm into the castle and demand to end the unpopular policies, he was shot by an arrow in the shoulder, however survived the incident. Once he broke out of prison, he would go on to lead a massive rebel army against Shaeven. Learning of this, Minaser the Wise entrusted his armies to Lainae, Lainas, and their siblings, whilst he led his personal vanguard. He would instruct the army to head to Lasia Demeros while Shaeven was distracted campaigning elsewhere before the evil king knew what was happening. The twins would meet up with Mirovend's army, and would storm the castle, taking it over. Then, when Shaeven arrived to return with his army, he was defeated by the combined forces of the rebel armies and the army of Asteros, who would imprison Shaeven in Mount Tasus. There, the siblings would split the numerous kings under themselves, including Shaeven's old home kingdom of Tamnas. The twins themselves would become diarchs of Lasia Demeros, and would rule as co-monarchs jointly. 
The twins would implement the Lasia-Demerian Diarchy, with Lainae ruling the Kingdom of Lasia and Lainos ruling the Kingdom of Demeros, ruling together in the name of the combined country, but handling administrative measures in their own respective states also. Once they had two children, their eldest inherited Lasia/Demeros, while their next eldest would inherit the crown principalities of Seneshale and Ortia respectively. The author states that this is how different accents began to develop in the country, between the Lasian, Demerian, Ortian, and Seneshale dialects that would evolve into their modern day counterparts. Lainae and Lainos would rule prosperously, restoring the old reforms, as well as working to develop trade with nearby nations. They made the nation prosperous and wealthy, and used their own minerals to develop new inventions and innovations that aided in transforming the Kingdom of Lasia Demeros to become prosperous and incredibly wealthy. Administrative reforms would be made to increase the efficiency of the state, whilst a Popular Assembly was made where people could vote and share their input on certain laws, and advise the Monarchy. This system would grow to be incredibly popular amongst the people, and the diarchy ensured that no one person could completely ruin the country without the other sections taking action and destroying the oppression that one of the sectors could grow to become. However, the diarchy also increased decentralization, and as such made the relative sections more independent from each other. The author states that system is the cause of the feudal structures during his time, but refuses to blame the twins for this, instead praising them as heroes for their attempts to stabilize the nation, as well as their attempts to make the people more involved within the government of Lasia Demeros. Instead, the author blames the descendants of the twins for causing the system to flourish into feudalism in the first place, and criticizes them for doing so. Eventually, Lainae and Lainos would both retire, Lainos at 912 years of reign, followed by his sister 14 years later. They would be succeeded by their respective successors, who would later appoint a High King to rule over the entire country, which would be Yinivor, Lainae's youngest child, who would take the throne and be appointed as the first High King of the new system. 
Yinivor was declared HIgh King, but unlike his predecessors he wasn't able to make sweeping reforms, as much of the needed reforms had already been done with. Instead, he kept the stabilization of the Kingdom, keeping it defendable from outside threats, and defeating an army sent by the rival King of Agurlian, Faros III, and thus Yinivor is known with the epithet 'The Defender'. Yinivor would eventually retire after 612 years of reign, being succeeded by his middle child, Rastrough of Cirionthedel. Rastrough's epithet was gained from his great deeds outside of Lasia Demeos. 'Cirion' is a term often use to associate with the word 'Dragon', and the author of the book, Alfir, most likely got the word 'Thedel' from an ancient translated word 'Thydiel', meaning 'Killer' or 'Slayer', therefore his epithet means 'Dragonslayer'. However, according to a separate piece of mythological text, his epithet might mean he was born in a town in the nation of Feneger (the aforementioned Land of Gems) called 'Cirionthedel', which means 'Town of Dragons' respectively. These are competing narratives that are often debated on regarding this situation, but its safe to say, according to the pseudo-historical interpretation, that Rastrough had encounters with said creatures. Rastrough was said to be a great warrior, and who defended the Kingdom from a legendary sea monster who tried to attack the state. Over time however, these kings would pass the crown to each of their offsprings, and they would reign for less and less. Eventually, they were removed of their ability to peacefully retire, due to the sins of Kings, before eventually leading to King Saler, also known as King Saler the Great, the last of the noble blood of Kings, as the author put it. Saler gets his own epic, known as the Trinidarian Book of Great Deeds, Quests, and Stories surrounding King Saler, which was written by Alfir also as a variation of previous stories about the legendary king. 
== Pre-History ==
=== Formation and early human archeological evidence ===
Lasia Demeros is situated on a continental plate, called the Lasio-Demerian Plate, which broke away from the Altovir plate around 200-150 million years ago, where the landmass would slowly begin to drift away from the continental mainland, heading towards where it is now currently located, in the middle of the Asteron Sea. Before the end of the Ice Age, the region was one connected landmass, and there was a small land bridge leading to the continent, which led humans to first step foot on the continent some 60,000 years ago, where they would settle in the region. Archeological evidence depicts these first societies as hunter-gatherer societies, originally family oriented, with the similar aspects of early nomadic life. However as time progressed, these family clans would slowly begin to group together. The Taderian Burial Site, discovered by archeologist Lanivan Pier, was estimated to have occurred around this time. It shows the greater organization of tribal clans around this time, showing shared customs between different cultures, which had begun to group together to form societies, although these societies would remain largely nomadic and pastoral, continuing to move from place to place around the continent. However, with the ned of the Ice Age, the separation of these islands would begin, however with the exception of the Island of Zopria, these societies would still be able to contact each other, using shorter range boats to hop around the smaller islands and be able to communicate with each other and engage in future trade. As such, with the end of the Ice age, cultures would begin settling in their respective regions, and different cultures would begin to evolve, eventually combining into the modern day Lasio-Demerian Culture.
