The **Confederacy of Etheria** (**Etheria**), formerly known as the **Leslot-Ekawean Commonwealth** (Or **LEC**), is a nation west to the citadel in a region known as *Sabria* and borders the **People's Republic of Bogus**, the **Second State of Hautbois**, **Lushile**, and two oceans. There is also the colony of Jump Rope Canyon which is located in the Mesa. Former bordering nations were the **Empire of Yulk** and the **Rat Rebellion**, with the latter being annexed by Lushile.

Citizens are known as **Etherians**.

The nation has been historically neutral in almost all affairs, with its only ally being the Second State of Hautbois. However, the nation then played as a location for the **United Nations** and engaged in the Battle for the Bretherlands. It was stated that its inhabitants desired building instead of war, however. During the process of constructing the ILEC, dragongirl split off to form **the Pirates!**.

The *Child Killing Lever* is located in Etheria.

## Geography

Etheria is heavily populated in the east, and sparsely populated the further one goes west. The south is of typical Sabrian geography, featuring vast plains with not much notability. The east is populated with the Sykin forest, the only forest on the whole continent. To the west and the northwest lies the Northern Crags, an area that is substantially more rocky in ground composition, featuring rough, stone hills and even a mountain. Here also lies the Sabrian Corridor. Sabria is somewhat mineral-rich.

## Climate

Etheria is **temperate**, and rains come fairly often. There is a point where if one goes high enough, the rain starts to become snow. Summers are usually dry and warm, but winters can become deathly cold and receive high amounts of precipitation.

## History

### Leslotian-Hautbois Humble Beginnings

The LEC was founded by Leslot on the eastern shores of Sabria. It was originally intended to be isolationist along with the Second State of Hautbois, and so the two nations worked together as one for many days. Due to its low population (the two nations combined formed a meager population comprised of GeoZ, JJSilver, p0ckychamp, Leslot, and DragonGirl), the LEC became very wary about external threats, such as the now-dissolved, possibly aggressive *Authority*. Such worries disappeared when that nation collapsed, and peace allowed the LEC to begin major construction work.

The first major problem was the lack of food. With very few manpower, famine became a commonplace and it was hard to establish a permanent food source on the rocky surface of Sabria. Instead, temporary wheat farms and a sheep pen were established. The abundance of kelp helped keep away hunger for many days to come. The food problem would eventually become no more.

The second problem was the economic situation of the state. Mining was usually unsuccessful and dangerous at first. Scarce resources set back development in the LEC, especially coupled with occasional food shortages.

The nation became so disconnected from the international world that they did not participate in the first few Citadel Events.

### Growth Period

Here hit the mark when Ekawe joined the nation. Although the nation was still in an unstable state, it was doing much better than before. In fact, construction on “The Castle” or the ILEC was being worked on by DragonGirl, p0ckychamp, and Leslot. The sheep were booming in population, but kelp was currently the main source of food. With leftover resources, Ekawe began to grind, eventually ending up with an enormous quantity of diamonds. He also began afk fishing.

During this time rises a worry: the tension between the Rat Rebellion and Lushile. This was because the Rat Rebellion directly bordered the LEC.

Still, a new popular industry was taking place in the LEC, including a strip club and weed. A meeting also took place, establishing the *child killing lever*, solving world hunger forever.

Ekawe lost the first iteration of the Dark King Groomer’s Blade of Annihilation during netherite mining.

### The Era of the Harvest God

During the construction of the ILEC, **DragonGirl** and **Leslot** gone through a disagreement on building's architecture. This caused DragonGirl to revoke her citizenship and form **The Pirates!**.

Potaios, another citizen of the LEC, appeared one day and prophesied the coming of the “next harvest”. His preachings converted 99.99% of the LEC population into a cult which demands the sacrifice of a young asian female. This was never done, but to get started, the population began digging “the hole to hell”. After a pentagram was inscribed on it, a wheat farm was created.

Meanwhile, the war between the Rats and Lushile never came into their borders, and Lushile won, annexing the Rats.

Soon afterwards, the LEC did not participate much in global affairs and expanded westward. Extra territory was then given to The People's Republic of Bogus, securing the LEC's borders which hold to this day.

The wheat farm was eventually expanded to a true gargantuan scale, essentially wiping out food shortages in the country forever.

Ekawe also managed to get a full stack of netherite ingots, the first to do so in the server’s history.

### International Stage

At this point, the LEC began establishing major relations with other powers.

Due to widespread conflict and the LEC's neutrality, Klishka and other nations formed the UN in **Neuslaschet**, the capital. From then on, the LEC became less isolationist, participating in events and trading with other nations. Still, the LEC maintains its neutrality.

### War in the Bretherlands

This point in time marked when Klivid joined the LEC.

### Dissolution of the Commonwealth

As of 4 AM on 8/17, the Leslot-Ekawean Commonwealth dissolved to become The Confederacy of Etheria, or Etheria, of which all citizens shared equal geopolitical and domestic power.

There are two reasons:

* The name "Ekawe" has become irrelevant. (Ekawe changed his name to Ponzzu)
* "Leslot-Ekawean Commonwealth" was hard to pronounce.Otherwise, all aspects and geopolitical status stayed the same.

## Trivia

* The LEC's historical source of inspiration was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
* Much of the population believes in a *cult* which worships the **Harvest God**.
* The name "Etheria" comes from the name of a language "Etheriane", the ancestor to the Sabrásenspik language spoken in these lands.
