Ionia

Ionia was one of Under-the-Dome's most ancient nations. Once a part of the nation Thanjuul, Ionia split off from Shurima and Japan in 419 AMS. While it's original population was fairly small, their culture flourished and grew within their sacred mountains and temples. 
Within the nation was the mysterious Crystal of Kinkou, an unlimited source of energy and power. Protecting this crystal became a priority for the Ionians, especially as the world around them grew more violent. When the neighboring island of Japan was invaded by Weeaboos, most of it's inhabitants fled to Ionia, and were welcomed with open arms. Later, many former Weebs would immigrate as well, though they were met with more hostility. 
Ionian warriors were world renowned for their skill and bravery, with multiple families, such as the Shirai Ryu Clan, the Yi clan, and the Lin Que clan raising their children specifically to fight as warrior monks or assassins. Discount Scorpion and Sub-Nero were both born in Ionia, while the assassin Jhin spent most of his life living in the mountains. 
Sadly, Ionia would eventually usher in the end of the Under-the-Dome Golden age. In 3771 AMS, New Eden doomsday cultists worshiping the fallen warrior of legend "Mordred" would engage in a devastating war with the Knights of Dex-Starr, known as the Winter War. After obliterating their forces in Eastman, the Doomsayers turned their sights on Ionia, hoping to capture the capitol city of Madrigal and destroy the Crystal of Kinkou, which they believed to be the key to achieving enlightenment. Rallying the remaining soldiers in his chapter, Knight Leader Rapino Ren defended the city as long as possible in hopes that Ionian civilians could escape. Eventually, the Arcbear Chapter would fall, and the Crystal would be destroyed, annihilating Ionia. 
In modern times, a great sea, called the Creatorus Zone, stands where Ionia once did.
