Saint Eurith

**Saint Eurith**, officially the **Holy Empire of Saint Eurith** is a nation based in the region of Scotland. After the Glorious Revolution on 29 August 2021, the country is an absolute monarchy under King Jubilee III of the Eurithian Royal Family.

## History

Saint Eurith was officially founded on August 10th, 2021 after the climax of a century-long power grab by the Monarchist "Everything For the Country" party. The cultural region of Eurithia has existed since it's Celtic and Norse roots in the 7th century, with Saint Eurith's capital, Albany, originally being a Norse trading post called *Aprikosby* founded in the early 10th century. Later, the Kingdom of *Rikelyg* would be established as a Norse vassal seated in the Hebrides. Rikelyg would expand until it was pushed back from Wales at the Battle of Holyhead in 1066. Since then, the Norse culture in Britain remained isolated in Eurithia. Gradually, Eurithia would combine Gaelic and Norse cultures, and abandon paganism for Christianity around the 13th century.

For centuries, the region of Eurithia remained a quasi-anarchist region dominated by monasteries and feudal lords. In the mid-19th century, the Everything For the Country Party formed, an ultranationalist Monarchist group who slowly began buying up fiefdoms and assimilating local monasteries. By 1890, the Everything For the Country Party de facto controlled most of Eurithia. Throughout the 20th century and early 21st, the state would form into a cohesive and centralized state ending in 2021 with it's official creation.

In late August of 2021, Saint Eurith began to colonize land in Britain, starting with northern England and Wales. Subsequently, they declared war on the nation of Jtrapland on August 23rd, 2021 in the British Unification War which ended on August 25.

Saint Eurith was briefly involved in the Great War, only establishing the puppet principality of Eurizia-Galiza before pulling out and shutting down all international relations

On August 29, 2021, a group of ultra-monarchist revolutionaries performed a coup d'etat of the then incumbent semi-Monarchical government. King Jubilee III took full power afterwards, announcing the Holy Empire of Saint Eurith.

## Demographic

Saint Eurith has a growing population, currently at 134 million. The entirely state-owned Eurithian economy is worth 4 trillion lires a year. The most common cause of death remains old age. The government is occupied with varied spending, mainly focused on spirituality and welfare.

## Administration

Saint Eurith is an absolute monarchy, ruled by a king who serves until death. The king employs a cabinet of advisors, usually his associates or family, who guide him through legislation and administrative decisions via suggestions. Although and absolute monarchy, regions still have some (albeit very small) administrative power, in a hierarchy, with the title of Duke of [Duchy] being the highest and Count of [City] being the lowest. These regional leaders are watched closely by royal administration.

The economy is entirely state-owned, with massive state-owned corporations which represent an entire sector of industry (i.e. one company for textiles, one for timber, one for book publishing).
