Federal Empire of Poedogia

The **Federal Empire of Poedogia** is a small imperial island federation on Eldham located in the southern Diana Sea. It is originally founded by Emperor Caboosifer in Old Poeville, which for territorial reasons they were forced to abandon and start New Poeville, which is now simply called Poeville. Poedogia at one point became a state of the Federation of Kłosevia, until it seceded, causing the quick dissolution of the federation. When Magnus II de Westreach (son of Magnus I) became the 3rd Emperor of Poedogia, he reorganized the nation and made it a Valardom, officially crowning him as the first Valar of Poeistan.

## History

### *Early Years*

Poedogia was founded by Caboosifer Leinðen'lok, Magnus I de Westreach, and Nåþaniel Kleivænsmitz, fellow shipmates and friends who had been out at sea, traveling the oceans of Eldham for 3 years. The three of them decided to start a new life and began to build up a settlement of their own, they eventually named Poeville-but for historical reasons is now known as Old Poeville. The settlement began with small farms, simplistic stone buildings, and deep mines, where they would extract resources for any gear, or materials for building and what-not. The settlement was located next to a small birch forest, where they would gather wood for flooring and tools. There they lived peacefully until their forest was burned to the ground and threatening signs were put up, requesting for them to abandon the settlement or to suffer consequences. Magnus I went on a mission to find out the reason for these disrespectful remarks. He soon discovered that they were illegally settling on Samoran territory. Upon this, the Poedogians agreed to abandon the settlement to found New Poeville, which was founded instead in the Diana Sea where there was plenty of open space to build. This was the beginning of a new age for the young nation.

### New beginnings

Now settling in the middle of the Diana Sea near Eleanor they began building a city above the water called New Poeville. The city soon began expanding rapidly & by now they had decent mines, infrastructure, & agriculture. Something they needed though was a country to do diplomacy with so Magnus I who had already gotten to know Samora fairly well decided to make some kind of deal with them. So Caboosifer & Magnus I had a meeting with Trile to discuss possibilities. Upon agreement, Poeistan decided to become a protectorate of Samora; it was around this time that Magnus I decided he would write a new Poeistann constitution as the Articles of Poeistann Independence that was being used at the time was too vague & wasn't structured enough. The constitution was then approved by Caboosifer & was then legally put into place. New members began to join Poeistan around this time including Lightning, who founded his own nation called the Troglodytic Empire, which was then incorporated into Poeistan as the state of Troglodytia.

### The Troglodyte Insurrection

Magnus I was walking in New Poeville, when suddenly Lightning coming from the north shoots Magnus I with his bow, nearly killing him. This was seen as an attempted assassination by Caboosifer, who decided that this was an act of rebellion of Troglodytia, of whom Poeistan would then declare war on. It didn't last long but eventually the Troglodytes were defeated & Troglodytia became part of New Poeville legally. This also led to the execution of Lightning by the government.

### Diplomacy

ElkElan founded Tileville which eventually would grow to become the first proper looking island in Poeistan. New Poeville soon saw rapid growth due to the various projects which aimed to improve New Poevill into a more proper city. During these projects, Acral--the leader of the United Isles of Ægir--visited New Poevill, seeking to form an alliance with Poeistan which Magnus I agreed to & Caboosifer approved. They formed a mutual defense pact together & called their union the Diana Sea Treaty Organization. This union however wouldn't last long as the nation Laurenland was threatening annexation of both of their nations. These tensions would soon cool down after State Emprior Magnus I contacted Fredrich I--the Imperor of Laurenia. Magnus I & Fredrich soon came to terms & decided that it would be better if they all united into one great nation. Soon talks began between the leaders of the 3 nations & it soon was decided that they'd all join together to become the Federation of Kłosevia. All 3 nations were now the 3 founding states of the new nation, each having equal power & representation in different areas of government.

### Development

Poeistan, now active once again began to experience rapid growth from new citizens & ideas. One huge thing that happened was Magnus I's great project got an overhaul, & with the help of Deep & Caboosifer; they decided to merge the Poeistann cities of New Poeville, Tileville, Mycelia, Bridgington, & Troglodytia into one big city just called Poeville. This project also aimed to create new, better-looking islands for development, aswell as a new capitol building--and many more buildings. This project greatly has expanded Poeistan, & will continue to expand Poeistan to greater heights!

## Geography

Poeistan consists of a couple towns located in the Diana Sea.

The capital city, Poeville consists of various "subregions" that each have their own lands & style of architecture. Greater Poeville is the largest of the Poeville subregions & is the largest of them all. It was founded as former city New Poeville by Caboosifer & is now currently governed by Magnus I. Greater Poeville is built up of mainly roads of stone bricks & oak--although soon they plan to improve this by changing the oak to a deepslate gradient. It contains many buildings & farms with varying styles. Bridgington is the least developed of the subregions & is built around Lightning's bridge going from Troglodytia to Greater Poeville. Currently dirt is being added to the water to give it flat terrain for buildings & stores. Saint Caboosifer's Cathedral is planned to be built here. Soon it will be merged into Troglodytia. Troglodytia is the smallest of the Poeville subregions, located next to Bridgington. It was founded by Lightning & is located almost entirely underground. As of recently Troglodytia has been generally inactive but there have been plans to revive it again with connecting it to Bridgington--the other generally inactive state. Tileville was founded by ElkElan & is entirely an artificial island made of dirt & grass. It is now governed by Deep III, who plans to make it have many floating islands & to give it a beautiful Japanese-inspired style to it.

## Government

The Valardom of Poeistan is a theocratic imperial federation of states under the Poeistann Constitution written by Magnus I and approved by Caboosifer. The structure of the government is made up by three main branches called powers, the executive powers, legislative powers and the judicial powers. These powers are held by different groups that overlap in some areas.

### Emperor

The first group in their government is the emperor; the emperor acted as the central head of state aswell as the prophet of Poe. The emperor's powers were mainly executive but would also be legislative, albeit only from the support of the Directorate of Empriors.

### Directorate of Empriors

Another group that held powers is the Directorate of Empriors. The Directorate is made up of three empriors meaning prior in power to the emperor—as in the Poeistann language the word prior literally translates to lower. Each emprior in the directorate would have their own position, there would be an Emprior of State, Emprior of Treasury and Emprior of War; this gives them executive powers. The directorate had the power to make and pass laws giving them legislative powers and is also required to serve as the national court judges giving them judicial powers.

### House of Officials

The final group in the government holding power is the House of Officials, this group is made up of representatives elected by the people of Poeistan--though since they had a low population it is always just made up of the city mayors, they held legislative and partial judicial powers.
