United Republic of Jorvellia

**United Republic of Jorvellia**

 The United Republic of Jorvellia [Yor-vell-ee-uh] (URJ) is a federal republic composed of an colony and planetary wide congressional assembly. It is located in the galactic north-west, with its closest neighbor being the Exclave . Founded by the descendents of the lost colony ship crew of the Borealis IV, this nation is confined to one system currently.

Jorvellia is a temperate world, akin to Earth, which the colonists of Borealis IV were very lucky to stumble upon. It has a diverse climate, geography and fauna, treated well by the humans who inhabit it.

## History

### **Colonial Expedition**

In 2452, a colonial expedition originally set for an uninhabited star close to Sol, experienced an FTL failure, which caused the ship and all of it's crew to be warped to the outskirts of the Korvasti system intact a year later.

### **Dark Age**

23 years later, the valley in which Borealis IV crashed flooded, causing the colonists to migrate somewhere else only taking their belongings. Before leaving, Ship Captain Polikarp Ruminiski and Science Officer Pedro Seabra store all the data and information about Earth and the expedition in a vault on the wreckage of the ship. After the migration, many people died and the location of the wreckage of the Borealis IV was lost for rougly 4000 years. The colonists, with barely any technology and no means reproduce it, reverted back to a tribal state. Over 4000 years, human society redeveloped based on old Earth traditions until the Borealis IV was found again in 6302.

### **Jorvellian Renaissance**

After the reopening of the vault of information that Polikarp Ruminiski and Pedro Seabra had sealed 3827 years ago, Humanity experience a ressurgence of knowledge and technological development. The explorers brought back this plethora of information to the descendents of the Borealis IV colonists, who rebased their society on this information with little to no objection. This sudden willingness to conform to the old ways comes from a folk tale ingrained into people everywhere via oral and written communication over the generations that took a zealous religious form. This folk tale, in summary, told of when people would return to the ship from which they came and reclaim their birthright.

### **Planetary Unification**

After the Jorvellian Renaissance, Humanity caught up with the culture it had left in 2475; and had advanced to be a interplanetary space-faring people. An mutual attitude within Jorvellian governments to prevent future diaspora and conflict within the colonies paved the way for unification of Humanity within the Korvasti system. A conference was held in the city of Borealis IV, which was founded around it's namesake's wreckage soon after the vault had opened. This conference determined the system of government and its laws in which the new planetary  government would operate under. All parties signed at the Conference of Borealis IV in 10,000 AD.
