**Etymology**

It was adopted by the union of democratic cities as to denote their peaceful and democratic values. The official adoption of this name was not until the drafting of the new nation in the Agreement of Alvis.

**History**

The nation was founded by many liberal thinkers and pacifists during the social unrest of the fall of Relea. They created an anarchist community in Presbury (The current Capital) and the peaceful and successful democratic society formed spread to other cities.

These cities eventually formed the Pati union in order to ensure their security and make a formidable bloc against expansion from the larger western nations. This union was eventually unified into the Republic of Pati in the Agreement of Alvis where a constitution was drawn up and the 8 states were declared.

The nation kept building an economy and has had many governments under democracy. their ideals of Pacifism and democracy.
