The Kingdom of Etoilia is a nation that rules over the eastern portion of the Warrior's Continent. It's the largest and most developed nation in Warrior's Continent as well, being known for its vast cities. It is currently ruled by King Jordan VI, with Byron Mondelez as its prime minister.

## Government

Before the defeat of the unnamed empire, this place used to be an absolute monarchy ruled by a queen or king making all the decisions. To prevent themselves from becoming too much like the empire, Etoilia switched to becoming a constitutional monarchy, with much of the decision making falling in the hands of a Council headed by the monarch. The council is home to an inner circle known as "The Bureau" whose ministers send laws to the Prime Minister, an individual who is elected every 4 years. The Prime Minister appoints members of the bureau and only the monarch can approve of elections. In addition to The Bureau, there is an outer council known as "The Grand Chamber" consisting of around 500 different pokemon from across the kingdom which are elected directly and proportionally every 2 years. The Grand Chamber Representatives are meant to represent the people, so during elections the representatives try best to make best on what the citizens want. This is why during a meeting of the legislature, held once every week, the Grand Chamber and The Bureau speak their proposals onto the floor for consideration by the ministers.

## History

From what was said in current rps and previous ones, it's implied that the kingdom is very old and very stable, existing for thousands of years.

### First Invasion

A few thousand years ago, Zygarde attempted a conquest of the Kingdom by landing troops around. Eventually, the two nations met at the Battle of the SZunkissed Plains where then-commander Yin harnessed spiritual power, defeating Zygarde and forcing him and his forces to retreat back to where they came. After this, Yin would retire from military duty, becoming a hermit at the top of Mount Heaven and training new young heroes in the process.

### Nikolai's Frenzy

Thousands of years later, a Zygardian captain named Nikolai raided Sensei Yin's monastery, marking the beginning of the Second Etoilo-Zygardian War. Joseph and his friends unfortunately were unable to stop Nikolai's forces from capturing the Orb of Indemnity, forcing Nikolai to hide in the shadows for a while to attune it. Once it was attuned, Nikolai attacked the then-town of Rockport using the full might of the orb, and eventually betraying his superior Captain Cinder. Nikolai used the orb to transform himself into a being of incredible power, forcing Joseph and Team Crystal to come to aid. This was the hardest battle for them so far, but they managed to defeat Nikolai, with him being dragged into the Shadow Realm.

### Second Invasion

After fleeing the Dark Continent, Zygarde assembled another invasion force, this time much more serious because of the fact Zygarde had access to infernal war machines like dreadnoughts and tanks. Zygarde's power was unbridled, leveling an entire nearby mountain with ease, and creating a crater where Joseph fought Zygarde one and one. It was a long and hard fought battle, and for the first time, Joseph awoke his spirit form. Joseph ended up defeating Zygarde, but at the cost of his father. He and his rescue team was then awarded with a special medal of honor from the king himself during a ceremony in Astarion.

### A Golden Age

Following Zygarde's defeat, Etoilia rapidly industrialized. In just 2 years, Rockport went from a smaller town into one of the biggest cities in the kingdom. This was due in part to Etoilia switching from an Absolute Monarchy to a Constitutional Monarchy as well as them learning from Zygardian technology and improving upon it. The Kingdom became much more urban-focused and there was a more modern culture to everything such as the creation of the Etoilian Basketball Association (EBA), new schools, development of cars, processing of new foods and much more. And that's where Etoilia currently sits today, as a shining beacon on the east coast of the Warrior's Continent. A societal inspiration for all to see.
