Interregnum period (Airolia)

The **Interregnum period within Airolia** refers to the period of time after the Cataclysm and before the democratization of Airolia. It was marked by independence wars, economic crashes, famine, and public unrest.

## History

During the Cataclysm, Airolia invested significant resources into evacuating its holdings on Helinska. The millions that they evacuated from the continent and brought to the rest of the empire became refugees, heavily straining if not collapsing local economies and food supplies. The evacuations also led to much of the merchant fleet being damaged or destroyed, starving Airolia’s primary monetary source. Ash released by the Cataclysm heavily impacted the Airolian metropole and, to a lesser extent, Airolian Adlera, Abrekana, and Wedelistan. “Sunsets of fire” were recorded by many during this time period, being seen as a religious omen of the end times, that the sun was burning up.

Taking advantage of the chaos, numerous Airolian colonial subjects began wars of independence. Tarasvatistani rebels coalesced around two separate rebel groups, the Tarasvatistani Workers’ Liberation Front and the Tarasvat Resurrection Army. These would later form the basis for North and South Tarasvatistan. Abrekani rebels alongside significant amounts of Airolian turncoats formed a big tent coalition and successfully drove the Airolian garrison out. Several subsequent invasions were repelled. In Airolian Adlera, the Apostates attempted to overthrow the local government but their violently secular beliefs distanced them from many liberal-republican rebels, who instead sided with reformist Airolian garrisons. A rebellion in Wedelistan was put down through force in 1935. Several socialist uprisings, insurgencies, and rebellions in the Airolian metropole sprung up over the Interregnum period but were all unsuccessful. A group of native and Airolian rebels in Airolian Rubernesia declared their independence, promising to remain a trade partner if Airolia recognized their independence– an offer that was accepted. Airolia's "spheres of influence" in Cathei were also largely absorbed by the Kanikawa Shogunate, though it still held onto a few concessions until the 1940s.

In 1939, a socialist-democratic coalition successfully launched a putsch of the reigning remnant Council once the soldiers had mutinied from a lack of pay and food. This coalition formed a provisional government to “guide the country out of chaos”.

In 1943, the provisional government stepped down after several demonstrations, relinquishing power to the Council and marking the end of the Interregnum period.
Governors of the Southern Province

The **Governor of the Southern Province** is the indirectly elected head of the Southern Province and is chosen by the Southern Provincial Assembly. Since the position was created in February 1955, it has been held by Paul Gruber of the United Democrats of Kanoria, with the backing of all other Civil Front parties. The main opposition to the ruling coalition remains the Kanorian People's Party, which also serves as the main opposition in the central government of Greater Kanoria.
Ibrahim Asadi

Ibrahim Asadi in 1954

**Ibrahim Asadi** is a Kherfiyyan politician in the Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic and member of the Agranid Communist Party who served as an important advisor th Abanau Mosul Alwind. Later on, Asadi rose through the ranks, and eventually became General Secretary of the ACP in 1945. Following Mosul's death in 1954, multi party elections were held in the country. Asadi was the candidate for Prime Minister from the ACP, and narrowly won the elections against Ayaan Sheikh's newly formed Kherfiyyan Democratic League, becoming the first Prime Minister to win Multi-Party Elections.
Genrikh Markov

Markov standing trial in Badgural, 1956

**Genrikh Ilyich Markov** was a senior Iljekyan statesman who served as Minister of Agriculture of Iljekya. He was responsible for the orchestrated famines in wartime Aleurusia and post-war Dersochia and Sedry, aimed at destroying the ethnic identities of those regions. He was captured in Operation Airlift and sentenced in the Badgural Trials, dying in prison in 1961.

> *"Genrikh Ilyich Markov, Minister of Agriculture of Pionetska and Iljekya, has been found guilty in the murder of 500 thousand people and sentenced to 2187 years in prison. He is the first high-profile Pionetska communist to be tried and found guilty in the Badgural Trials."*

Hesota (Town in Kokinos)

Hesota is a settlement on the Kokinan island of Hesota, and the capital of the Hesota Island Naval District. The seaside town was a small fishing port was briefly held by Vermelho, until it was liberated by then-Lieutenant Tryfon Argyris's squad in 1928 and came under the rule of the SRK. The island was fortified in time for the Third Intervention, and successfully held off all attempts by Jabeyracki airships to land on the island. After the end of the Third Intervention in 1930, Hesota was developed into a major a naval and air base for the Kokinan military due to its close proximity to Crimpor
Growth of the Socialist Republic of John

### Outcome:

SRJ victory:* Forcible dissolution of the Adelsrodan League, Kingdom of Astavara, and Lemetiate of Weltzbäden
* Tactical victory of the SRJ over the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah
* Eventually led to the partition of the Gresian Confederation between the SRJ and the Holy Monarchy of the First Son

The **growth of the Socialist Republic of John** was a prolonged military campaign by the Adelo-Ionian / Johninian Socialist Republic of John from its establishment in 1701 to 1730. It overthrew the arch-conservative governments of the Adelsrodan League, Kingdom of Astavara, and Lemetiate of Weltzbäden, before crushing the Gresians. These territories were systematically assimilated into Johninian governance and culture.

The Sultanate of Kherfiyyah was defeated in a war in 1883 to 1885, resulting in the total loss of Kherfiyyah's northern territories. But bitter fighting and armed resistance allowed the Kherfiyyans and other ethnicities near the region to maintain their cultural identity (???)
Hakkenhaar Militias

The **Hakkenhaar Militias** (sometimes known by the more archaic name **Haakenhaar Militias**) were a constituent force of the Ionian Rebel Alliance based in the Astavaran city of Hakkenhaar. The Militias participated in the Ionian Revolution, successfully overthrowing the last Despot of Ionia, but were later broken during the Monarcho-Westist occupation.
Free People's Federation

The **Free People's Federation**, often shortened to the **Federation**, was a military alliance lasting from 1927-1928. It was dissolved after two of its three members had left the alliance or been annexed, and Jabeyrack issued an ultimatum demanding BISDA give up 3/4s of its land.

## Members

* Bryne International Security and Defense Affiliation
* Free State of Katavia (annexed in 1928)
* Karostainian Empire (briefly; left after a civil war)
Eck Dremand

**Eck Dremand** *(1869-1947)* was a Jabeyracki General and politician from Quesi who played an influential role in the early military history of Jabeyrack, being one of the two leaders- alongside Valos- to lead Jabeyrack to victory against the Pelarosi Triumvirate in the Jabeyrack-Pelaros War. Later, Eck Dremand would become the Councilman of Defense for 8 years, serving from 1929 until 1938, as a part of the 1929 Coalition, with him leading one of the four constituent parties of the coalition- the Quesi Progressive Party.
Ioannis Pratinas

Pratinas in 1905

**Ioannis Pratinas** (1862-1923?) known more commonly as "**Comrade Ioannis**", was an Ionian socialist revolutionary who led the True Socialists from their founding to dissolution in the 1920s.

Born in an impoverished rural town near Retgard, Pratinas traveled to Retgard in 1887 to provide for his family. Back then, the mainstream socialist thought in Helinska was Johninian Socialism, and it was widespread among the working class in Retgard. Pratinas soon became involved with socialist activity, and joined a union that was part of the revolutionary activity in Ionia. The despotic regime cracked down on socialists violently, but Pratinas' loyalty to the revolutionary cause never faltered. Pratinas eventually took over the leadership of his union in 1898, when the union's original leaders were arrested and purged by the regime.

In 1900, the despot was overthrown by the Ionian Rebel Alliance. However, the rebels were divided by factionalism and poorly coordinated, allowing the country to fall prey to Monarcho-Westism. After the fall of Ionia in 1906, Pratinas and his group waged guerilla warfare against the occupiers, while relocating to the Cremdel Bay, which was then controlled by the Socialist Republic of John. The Cataclysm soon struck, and as the Johninians and Monarcho-Westists retreated back to their respective homelands, Pratinas and his group returned to Retgard, meeting a guerilla fighter named Manolis Tzimas on the way.

When Pratinas returned to Retgard, he found that Johninian Socialism had quickly fallen out of favor. Refugees from the west had opened the eyes of the people to the horrors of Joninian totalitarianism, and leftist movements found better ideas instead. Disgusted at the "False Socialism" of the Retgarders, Pratinas renamed his group to the "True Socialists", preaching Johninian Socialism as "True Socialism". The True Socialists were unpopular in Retgard, and in 1910 a skirmish broke out that nearly wiped out half of the True Socialists. Pratinas and surviving loyalists fled to Port-Platon, which they rebuilt and occupied.

By the 1920s, the True Socialists had controlled Port-Platon for over a decade. Pratinas, imitating the SRJ, enacted a series of authoritarian policies such as "pacifying" "redundancies" and not allowing anyone to leave. As the Principality of Novo Gavia annexed the nearby Republic of Kokinos in 1917, and the Kokinan Socialist Worker's Party entered the Retgard region in 1923, Pratinas grew more and more paranoid and totalitarian. Eventually, the "Council of Public Affairs" led by Manolis Tzimas contacted the KSWP and opened the gates of Port-Platon, allowing the KSWP to enter the settlement and dissolve the True Socialists. Pratinas disappeared in the ensuing chaos, with the most common theory being that he drowned in the sea

After the formation of the Socialist Republic of Kokinos in 1927, all records of Pratinas and the True Socialists' existence were erased.
Litugian

**Litugian** was a shipping dialect that was popularized in the city of Lear sometime in the 10th century as a way for the crews of vessels going to and from Helinska to communicate with each other. It quickly spread throughout the Isle of Lear, before taking over the local languages of all the islands east of Helinska. It went on to be a major aspect of the O'Leary cultural group.
First Ospalan–Airolian War

* Ospalan Peasants' War overthrows the monarchies of Akara and Lonala, before uniting them into a republic
* Eventual Second Ospalan–Airolian War

The **First Ospalan–Airolian War** was a colonial conflict in eastern Helinska that took place from 1384 to 1390. Since its arrival on the continent, the Lemetiate of Airolia had been continuing to deepen its investments and influence there, taking the role of "protector of Liamism" . Airolia's large-scale involvement in the Ionian civil war known as the Great Sundering proved its commitment to the defense of Liamist interests in Helinska. It furthermore set out to expand its practical political power by deepening ties to the Kingdom of Lensalia.

Most relevant to the Ospalan states, however, was Airolia's interest in the waterways of the Strait of Amastis, which would facilitate much easier commerce, business, and transportation between Helinska and the Holy Council in Idigon. Airolia did everything it could to expand its influence on the Ospalan Peninsula, including deploying missionaries *en masse* to the Selton province of Lonala. The monarch of Lonala was strong-armed into allowing these missionaries. When similar pressure was applied to the king of Akara, however, Airolian overtures were flatly rejected. Tensions turned to warfare in 1384 with a large Airolian army invading Akara.

Fearing that Airolian encroachment would bring about the end of their centuries-long independence, all major Ospalan states united against a common enemy for the first time in history. Akara and Lonala, alongside the Kingdom of the Valalvi and even the Ospalan Orcs pooled men and money to create an unprecedented atmosphere of unity on the peninsula. Though Airolia achieved quick victories against Akara, they were bogged down in bloody fighting against the Ospalan alliance until both sides were tired of fighting in 1390. Peace negotiations ceded roughly 15% of Akaric territory to Airolia's territory of Volubilis-Aquensis.

Peasants rose up, first in Akara and then in Lonala, soon after the conflict ended. This so-called Ospalan Peasants' War overthrow the old monarchies and established a united Republic of Akara-Lonala, in hopes that through political unification they would be able to ward off further Airolian incursions.

Airolia quickly rebuilt its colonial armies and achieved devastating success in the 13th Lysellic-Varrenescene War just six years after its victory against Akara. This spectacular victory prompted the Airolians to prepare another war of conquest against the Ospalan states, which would break out in 1415 and crush the nascent movement toward political unity on the Ospalan Peninsula. After this decisive second victory, Airolia would directly occupy parts of the peninsula and place others under a vassal state known as Ösrienta.
JNC Kayeros

The **JNC Kayeros** was a Jabeyracki light cruiser, intended mainly for anti shipping purposes, which would be reflected in it's armament, a fairly average main battery for a light cruiser but with a high amount of secondaries, the Kayeros would be a force to be reckoned with when engaging other lighter ships such as destroyers. However, this great anti shipping armament would come at the cost of the Kayero's anti air battery, leaving it somewhat useless as an escort to larger ships.

The Kayeros was built in 1918 by the Grand Alliance government as a show of strength, and was named after the Jabeyracki Liberal Progressive politician Kayeros who was serving as the Councilman of Defense of Jabeyrack at the time.

The JNC Kayeros would first see action in the Battle of Kalsan Strait, where it participated in the surface action against multiple Karostainian destroyers and frigates, fighting alongside the Volaysians.

In 1931, with the Kayero becoming outdated in favour of more modern missile ships and carriers for anti ship capabilities, the decision was made to turn the Kayero into a museum ship. It would become a fairly popular tourist destination at Port Valos.
Humans

**Humans** (*Homo Sapiens*) are one of the species in Yulea. They are the most common by far, making up the largest populations of many nations. Their origin is uncertain and they are split largely evenly across the four continents.

Humans, as with elves, are composed of two separate races: Red and Blue.
Edward II

**Edward II Calano** *(1857-1930)* was a Polmarian politician and royal, with blood relations with both the Calano Dynasty and the family of Hubert Amstern. Following the return of King Lucas Calano from his 20 year long self imposed exile in 1924, Edward II was made Duke of Camaria- a position that had remained vacant during Camaria's two decade long period of chaos beginning with the Cataclysm- a big step forward for the historically anti-elf Polmaria due to Edward II being a half elf.

Edward would only remain Duke of Camaria for a year, as in 1925, King Lucas would be murdered by Westist remnants in Camaria. With the King dead, Edward ascended the throne, becoming King of Polmaria. He was succeeded by Lawrence Crenar- nephew of Olson Crenar, one of the three members of the Polmarian Triumvirate- as Duke of Camaria.
Laronian Handelsflotte

The **Laronian *Handelsflotte*** (Low Airolian: 'trade fleet') was a component of the greater Airolian *Handelsflotte* that served as the Lemetiate of Airolia's armed maritime trading wing. The Laronian *Handelsflotte* was based out of Bierach and Nordlarossïe and was by far the smallest of the regional *Handelsflotten*, having no connection to the ocean and being relegated to the Laron River.

The *Handelsflotte* had several marine and land detachments as well to provide security for traders, Airolian citizens, ports, and other high-value assets. These security forces occasionally intervened in the Free State of Laronia and Republic of Laronia or otherwise bolstered local security forces.
Iordanoupolis

**Iordanou City** or **Iordanoupolis** is a city in Southern Kokinos near the mouth of the Iordanou River, and is the capital of the Iordanou River District. It is the largest city in the Iordanou River District, and is the third largest city in Kokinos. To avoid confusion with the River or District, the city was officially renamed to Iordanoupolis in 1972

## History

### Ionian Times

Iordanoupolis is a result of a merger of several smaller cities and towns on the Iordanou in 1853. Prior to its foundation, the largest city on the Iordanou was Lorotis, located in the middle course of the river and formerly capital of the Duchy of Iordanou. However, by the 19th century it had fallen into irrelevance, and urbanization and industrialization brought far more economic opportunities to the mouth of the Iordanou.

The Iordanou River region was home to the Iordanou Rebel Alliance, one of the major Ionian rebel alliances. The city was also a hotbed for leftism and Kokinan nationalism. Devastation brought by the Ionian Genocide and Cataclysm caused depopulation and deurbanization in the large city, due to scarcity of resources, loss of jobs and oppression by occupiers. The city would not fully recover until the 1940s

### Post-Cataclysm

Iordanoupolis was in theory capital of the Republic of Kokinos. However, half of the city was in ruins or otherwise abandoned due to depopulation, and the city was divided into multiple camps held by individual factions (militias) of the Republic. In 1917, full-blown civil conflict broke out in the republic, and then-Prime Minister Gianni Iordanou invited Novo Gavian forces into the city, ending the Republic. Being a large but otherwise mostly abandoned city, the Lespians demolished and transported the buildings (using natives as forced labor) to their power base further east to be used as construction material. The size of Iordanoupolis was therefore greatly reduced. The city's size would not fully recover until the 1980s

### Post-Intervention

With the establishment of the Jabeyracki-Kokinan De-militarized Zone by the OCH at the end of the Third Intervention in 1930, it became clear that Revolucia would stay in the hands of Crimpor and Jabeyrack. What was left of the Revolucia District, whose capital was in Revolucia (which was renamed to Enotilopolis), was relocated to the city of Iordanou, and the district was reorganized into the Iordanou River District
Feril

**Feril** is a landlocked city in Jabeyrack that is renowned as a hub for researchers and intelligasia, as well as being a major anti Liamist force in Jabeyrack. Due to its reputation as an educational center, it is home to the best educational institutes in Jabeyrack, including those for training members of the Jabeyracki Administrative Service and the Jabeyracki Foreign Service.
Green Democratic Lesovia

## Green Democratic LesoviaLesovio Democrático Verde

Symbol of the LDV

**Green Democratic Lesovia** *(Lesovio Democrático Verde, LDV)* is the major political party in Lesovia, having continuously held over 65% of the Lesovian Parliament's 120 seats since 2098. It was formed in 2096, shortly after the formation of the Fifth Lesovian Republic, as a merger of 5 "moderate" parties that each held 10-30% of the Parliament's seats. Since then, the LDV has dominated the Lesovian parliament and politics, even though the elections are free and the country is democratic
Ionian Labour Party

Logo of the Labour Party

The **Ionian Labour Party,** more simply known as **Labour** or the **ILP** is a social democratic, centre-left political party in the Federal Republic of Ionia which played a major role in the formation of the nation in 1972. The party was formed by the leaders of the Kanorian People's Party in 1972- the party which had been at the forefront of the Kanorian Republican Uprising. Although the party had been banned since its revolt in 1957, it lived on as a secret organisation, and emerged as the leading force of the southern Kanorian republicans after Emperor Osea I's death.

In the early years of the Federal Republic, the Labour Party reigned supreme, with its leader Emily Fisher- a former Governor of Laron Province- assuming the position of the first Chancellor of Ionia, with her close ally Olaf Schacht assuming the title of the first President of Ionia.
Dünespar the Exalted

## Dünespar the ExaltedAbraxas Kharim

**Dünespar the Exalted**, born **Abraxas Kharim**, was an Airolian-Wedelistani priest, enchanter, and rain-maker. He was most famous in local literature for bringing heavy rain during one of the hottest summers in living memory at the cost of his own life.

## History

In the summer of 1338, scientists estimate that average temperatures hovered around 44 degrees Celsius. A majority of crops were unable to survive from the heat and the dryness of the ground, causing significant famine. Typically in times like this, rain-makers were commonly understood to be unable to bring rain in droughts. However, the recent reintroduction of Liamist faith to the local area began to challenge long-held local beliefs.

Noting “unholy [...], unsightly ruination… of innumerable scores…” in his personal journal, Dünespar announced he would bring rain to the city in which he lived. After spending 5 days in total isolation, he returned and then made a second announcement: the rain was imminent.

While heavy rains did fall only a week later, somewhat helping with the local crises, Dünespar had died of uncertain circumstances 3 days following his final announcement. Some historians suspect he poisoned himself to avoid more brutal punishment for lying, or to better sell the story of the rain-making. If it was poison, it appears to have been slow-acting, as he was in immense pain for an entire day prior to his death.

## Legacy

Dünespar’s alleged rain-making became an immediate folktale and rallying point for Wedelistani Liamists, who paraded the incident as an example of the benevolence and power of Lianis Liamism. This caused mass conversions throughout Wedelistan, shaping the formerly majority-Alaist country into one with a majority-Liamist population.
Federation of the North Sea

## North Sea Federation

Map of the North Sea, circa 1955

The **North Sea Federation** (1881-1970) was a federation of 4 Prithanian colonies and two protectorates in Kalshei. The Federation was formed in 1881 under the 1881 North Sea Act that merged said 6 Prithanian held island chains into one federated colony.

In 1970, the Federation was formally decolonized and dissolved, succeeded by the Commonwealth of the North Sea, Kingdom of Tujoa and Kingdom of Fij'alzoa. The climate crisis of the 21st century led to an ICO intervention and restructured the region into the Fij'alzoan Federation, merging 3 formerly independent island nations back into one entity.

Eleos

**Eleos** was an ancient desert kingdom centered around Arsenkos. It bordered the Liceans to the south and Nyreumians to the north. Kokinan historians claim that the Eleosi were Ionians and Kokinans, whereas Kanorians claim that they were a separate ethnic group that spoke a separate language that has since gone extinct. Under the Despotate, Eleos was a "duchy" until Ionian Centralization. Being located in the desert, the Eleosi were always a small population, and the destruction of Arsenkos in the Ionian Genocide and Cataclysm ended their distinct identity

The rulers of Eleos were fairly Ionianized, though trade, contact and proximity with the Redouins and Sultanate of Kherfiyyah has led to (unconfirmed) claims (by certain Kherfiyyan nationalists) that they secretly followed Alaism
East Kherfiyyah

Flag of East Kherfiyyah

Following the K.W.R. Civil War of 1929, the small Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic was de facto split into two halves- the East, ruled by Rasheed Kalwana, and then by Botros Qadir, and the West- a Polmarian backed state ruled by Abanau Mosul Alwind. In the 1930s, there remained a glimmer of hope that the two states would reunite, but this hope slowly fizzled out as neither side wanted the other to take full control.

In the meanwhile, Kirlan has been rapidly focusing on land development, nationalizing its vast oil reserves and gaining immense wealth from it. Having committed to socialist ideals of secularism and equality, Kirlan's reforms, such as taxing places of worship, increasing women rights, nationalization of land and detribalization has angered the rural conservative Alahist Redouin tribes, who often respond violently, contributing to a rise of Alahist extremism in the rural areas. The areas controlled by Kirlan, sometimes called "East Kherfiyyah", were still somewhat safe until 1956. However, as the government continues to encroach on tribal lands for oil due to the rising demand for fuel, tensions continued to increase, ultimately resulting in the Mujahideen Insurgency of the late 1950s.
Ishvar

Ishvar confers with other leaders on who should succeed King Edward II

**Ishvar** was a politician from the city of Kurisal and later First Councilman of Kurisal of the Republic of Kurisal. After the Fall of Karostain, Ishvar gained backing from Jabeyrack and the newly formed Kurvack, and won the title of First Councilman of Kurisal alongside his Kurisal United Party.

Ishvar and the Kurisal United Party were fairly popular in the Republic of Kurisal. However, the KUP lacked any popular leaders besides Ishvar himself, and Kurvack seemed ready to swoop in and annex the city state.

Ishvar's popularity managed to keep the Republic alive. However, when he died in 1938, his successor- Mavant Koveron- was unable to prevent Liamists- specifically Longerians- from demanding elections by taking to the streets. Seeing their opportunity, the Kurvacki Home Minister- Stefan Kuris- send a group of Kurvacki Reserves under Shelrin Kalar to prevent a Longerian takeover of power in the country.
Ionian Regiment

The **Ionian Regiment** was an independent formation of the Army of the Felrin Republic during the Kanorian Fraternal War. It consisted almost exclusively of Kanorian Ionians, Kokinan Ionians, and a handful of Astavaro-Ionians. The regiment instigated a short crisis in the Felrin Republic when it garrisoned near Kahlova and encountered neo-Westist militias there. A short outbreak of violence occurred, in which the Ionians attempted to avenge the genocide of their people by Westist forces. A wider conflict was prevented by the personal intercession of Field Marshal Albert Stadion, who appealed to both sides to stop the fighting.

The Ionian Regiment demanded that the Westist elements near Kahlova be forcibly broken up, which the Felrin Republic duly did, expending great resources in the process. This incident is cited as an instance of infighting that contributed to the Republic's defeat by imperial troops.

It received shipments of military equipment and was funded in part by the Socialist Republic of Kokinos.
Ionia Province (Concept)

Prior to the return of Di'Aamascene Ionia, the Kanorians had plans to annex the region. In addition, as Kanorian nationalism saw the Kanorians as a successor of the Ionians, many Kanorian nationalists had called for the Ionian regions of Kokinos (notably the Serco and North Kokinos districts) to be annexed into Kanoria as well. As a result, concepts for an **Ionia Province** of Kanoria were created, with the capital to be in Ionescos or Neoionia. The province was to encompass the regions of Ionescos and Serco, with more extreme versions calling for the annexation of the entire South Archedon (North Kokinos) region. The Ionian region also has a large population of Kanorians in Kokinos

Following the War of the End-Times, the ICO considered supporting Kanoria's claims on Kokinan lands as punishment for Kokinos' neutrality in the war, but this was eventually abandoned

Ever since the South Kanorian provinces broke away from Imperial rule and took the name "Ionia", this ideology has gained more traction. In response, Kokinos has taken the issue of the name "Ionia" to the ICO numerous times, and has repeatedly condemned the Federal Republic for "appropriating the name of the Ionians", as well as continuing to insist that Kokinos is the sole successor to Ionian civilization.

Holy Council in Idigon

The **Holy Council in Idigon** was the supreme governing body of the Lemetiate of Airolia for the entirety of its existence. It was a 5-man directorial assembly, appointment to which was often inconsistent and sometimes considered meritocratic, other times hereditary, other times whatever was politically beneficial; the Oracles responsible for electing Councillors died with their secrets, kept very few written records, and even then were sometimes bypassed by other more high-ranking aristocrats. This inconsistency often resulted in political instability and constant backstabbing.

In addition to being the executive body of Airolia, it was often seen as the supreme authority of Lianis Liamism as a whole and occasionally even Liamism as a whole.

Governors of Felrin Province

The **Governor of Felrin Province** is the indirectly elected head of the Felrin Province and is chosen by the Felrin Provincial Assembly. Since the position was created in 1954, it has been held by Harnanz Belvon of the United Democrats of Kanoria, with the Kanorian People's Party serving as the principal opposition.
Emily Fisher

Emily Fisher's Official Governor Portrait in 1955

**Emily Fisher** is a Greater Kanorian politician and a major leader of the Kanorian People's Party, being the daughter of the first leader of the KPP Ambros Fisher and the sister of the second leader of the KPP Baeldo Fisher.

Until 1955, Emily had stayed out of Kanorian politics due to the smear campaigns that had been used against her father Ambros Fisher and to a lesser extent her brother Baeldo. However, after the Düllsberger–BISDA War resulted in the annexation of the Bryne International Security and Defense Affiliation's Laron Territories as the new Laron Province. Soon after, the Republic of Kanoria merged with the State of Düllsberg and formed Greater Kanoria.

With the new Laron Province providing a new opportunity, and the new opponents of the Kanorian People's Party being less likely to pursue aggressive smear campaigns, Emily Fisher decided to lead the Kanorian People's Party in the elections to the Laron Provincial Assembly. Partially due to supporters of the Redshirts, and partially due to unexciting leaders from the United Democrats of Kanoria and Heartland Prosperity Party, the KPP won 44/70 seats in the Assembly, and Emily became the first Governor of the Laron Province.
Great Helinskan War

~~The **Great Helinskan War** was a conspiracy theory suggested a major war allegedly took place around 1885 in Helinska, despite a lack of records supporting such a conflict. The "Great Helinskan War" was pieced together by an Ospalan nationalist, and allegedly happened around 1885, the results of which being that Ospalar was weakened and annexed by Lemetiate of Airolia *after* this alleged "Great Helinskan War". This conflicts with Airolian records which claim that the Lemetiate had controlled that portion of southeastern Helinska for centuries. Therefore, the validity of this conflict having ever happened is debatable, but the Ospalan government treated it as fact, and some refer to the Holy Monarcho-Polmarian - Fulcrum War as the "Second Great Helinskan War"~~

The **Great Helinskan War** is a conflict that ~~allegedly~~ *most definitely* took place ~~around~~ exactly in 1885 in Helinska. The "Great Helinskan War" was pieced together by ~~an Ospalan nationalist~~ *reputable historians*, and ~~allegedly~~ *in fact* happened around 1885, the results of which being that Ospalar was weakened and annexed by Lemetiate of Airolia after this ~~alleged "Great Helinskan War"~~ *valiant fight against tyranny.* This conflicts with Airolian records which claim that the Lemetiate had controlled that portion of southeastern Helinska for centuries. Therefore, the validity of this conflict having ever happened is ~~debatable~~ *questioned by foolish Liamists*, but the Ospalan government treated it as fact *because it is*, and some refer to the Holy Monarcho-Polmarian - Fulcrum War as the "Second Great Helinskan War" *because they are stupid*

The **Fifth Republic of Lesovia** is the current government of Lesovia, having succeeded the Fourth Republic in 2094. Being 101 years old, it is the longest-lasting republic in Lesovian history. The country is free and democratic, though Green Democratic Lesovia has dominated the republic's politics without interruption for over 90 years

## History

### Pre-1950

*See Kingdom of Lesovia, First Republic of Lesovia, Second Republic of Lesovia, Escamillo Cadrilla and 1915 Lesovian Revolution*

## Government

After the fall of the Fourth Republic, the parliamentary system was declared ineffective, and a semi-presidential system was introduced. This was controversial at first, as the Cadrilla regime had also used a similar system. The **President of Lesovia** is the Head of State and leader of the government's executive branch, with the power to appoint the Vice President, Prime Minister, Cabinet, Speaker of Parliament, dissolve the Parliament, and declare a state of emergency. The President is elected in the National Elections, and should he be unable to continue carrying out his duty mid-term, he will be replaced by the Vice President, etc. etc. until the next National Election. The President can be impeached by a 4/5 majority vote of no confidence, which has never succeeded so far

### Line of Succession

* Vice President
* Prime Minister
* Speaker of Parliament
* Minister of Home Affairs
* Minister of Foreign Affairs
* Minister of Finance
* Minister of Commerce
* Minister of Justice
* Minister of Industry and Technological Advancement
* Minister of Agriculture
* Minister of Labour and Welfare
* Minister of Religious and Ethnic Minority Affairs

### National Elections

Each party chooses one candidate for the presidency. Usually, the presidential candidate is also the leader of the party. If the party has numerous candidates, the party must sort it out and choose one before the elections, which are held every 4 years. Should the President dissolve parliament, snap elections will be called. There will be no election for a new President until the next proper election, but Members of Parliament will still be elected.

Since 2098, Green Democratic Lesovia *(Lesovio Democrático Verde, LDV)* has continuously held over 65% of the Parliament's 120 seats. The elections are still free and the country is still democratic, though LDV's continuous political domination has led the party and government to essentially become one in the same
Great Lakonia

1321-1560

**Great Lakonia** is a historiographical term that refers to the time period, from 1321 to 1560, when the duchies of Upper and Lower Lakonia were united in a personal union within the Despotate of Ionia. From 1345 onward, this union also ruled over the Ionos River region, being awarded it by the Despot Ioannis Chrysoskiros after the Lakonians supported him in the Great Sundering.

In the 1550s, the duchy began a project to build a new capital, a city that is now known as Lakonia. This bankrupted the united Lakonian polity and resulted in its downfall, though the city it had built grew to become one of the most important cities in modern Kokinos.
Estevara Province

Flag of the Estevara Province adopted in 1955

The **Estevara Province** of the Kanorian Empire was created in 1955 after the Stefanos Svolos of the Socialist Republic of Kokinos agreed to the capitulation of the Astavaran People's Republic in exchange for the SRK's entry into the Fulcrum. Although the move resulted in the ousting of Svolos by the Kokinan Socialist Worker's Party, the actual takeover of the APR was peaceful, and it officially became the 10th province to join Greater Kanoria, being taken shortly after the capture of the Northern Province and the Ashenstein Province from Valeron.

Gorgossia

**Gorgossia**, or **Gorgossa**, was an ancient Ionian city in what is now the Ananas River District of Kokinos. It was located at the point where the Cytros (now West Ananas) and Knossos (now East Ananas) rivers merged into the Ananas River (then known as the Ionos River). The once "great city" had been devastated by the Great Sundering, and never fully recovered. Its final blow came in 1906 in the form of the Cataclysm, and the city was never rebuilt. The city of Kalidea was founded in 1948, a few kilometers downstream

One theory for the city's name is that the region was once inhabited by a tribe or kingdom known as the **Gorgoss**, but this is not supported by substantial archaeological evidence
Loúkalism

The **Loúkalists** (from Proto-Ecclesian ‘*Loúkali*’; ‘underworld’) were a post-Cataclysm sect of the Church of the First Son. Loúkalist cosmogony suggested that Yulea itself was the underworld and its inhabitants were born into suffering to prove their worth to the One God. The belief of eternal damnation was shunned in favor of ascension to Heaven through piety and asceticism. In some variants of the sect, the idea of reincarnation was introduced for those who fail in their piety.

## History

Loúkalism first emerged after the Cataclysm. The immense destruction wrought by the event shook the faith of most Caesaropapists under the HMOFS. Under the assumption that the One God had brought the Cataclysm as punishment for their sins, the Church split into numerous wildly differing sects. The Loúkalists were pioneered by Callus the Scarred and Adamaris of Vota.

The Cathedral Cities of Urbs Mille Vota and Perdita Litora were firmly under Loúkalist control for much of the Years of Doom. It is largely unknown exactly what their stance was on other sects specifically, but surviving diaries and oral records allege a cult-like fanaticism and the worship of Death itself as a pseudo-deity on the level of the One God.

Due to the Cataclysm and their branding of *latae sententiae* by the Caesaropapist Church, very few Loúkalist texts survived past the Doom. When the Vestrax Combine took power, the Loúkalists were forced to repent their faith or face execution. Many of the Loúkalists went willingly, allegedly reciting verses as they were led to the guillotine. Many others put up minor resistance before being stamped out by Vestraxi authorities.

As of 1933, the sect was officially considered extinct and lacking in any sizable following.
Handelverein

The flag of the Handelverein after 1943.

The ***Handelverein*** (Low Airolian: **Trade Union**) was an Airolian-led economic union created to establish unified tariff and economic policies. It was initially created to further integrate Airolian allies, tributaries, and client states and prevent wars of independence by fully linking their economies to that of the Airolian metropole.

After the Cataclysm, former colonies and now-independent states either left or never joined, as the Airolian economy was incredibly devastated. As a stipulation of the 1943 Abdication, the *Handelverein* was reformed into allowing further representation of the remaining Airolian colonies within its governing council.

**Günther Latilianes** was a Provincial Liazier of the Airolian army, veteran of the Volecian Desert Campaign, and later, Lemet of the Lemetiate of Lyrinae.

Born to the somewhat prestigious Latillianes family, Latilianes was able to take courses on military history and strategy from a young age. He passed his classes with flying colors, and volunteered for military service at age 18 to prove his worth as an Enlightened-Votary in 1892.

During his first year as a commissioned officer in the 9th Light Rifles, a separatist movement began attacking military stations, police offices, government facilities, markets, and public areas in Illcentrya, a major Airolian city near the metropole. Soon, Latilianes and the 9th Light Rifles were dispatched to put down the rebellion as quickly as possible. Latilianes advanced alongside his men, and with the help of local security forces, the rebels were pushed out of the square. Thanks to Latilianes' orders, the 9th Light Rifles successfully encircled the bulk of the rebel forces and forced them to an unconditional surrender after a 9-day siege.

For his bravery and quick thinking in combat, Latilianes was able to rise through the ranks and begin commanding larger armies.

Eventually, both due to connections and exemplary skill in quickly and efficiently dispatching insurrectionist forces and occasional border skirmishes, Latilianes was promoted to the rank of Provincial Liazier in 1905 due to a need for experienced officers in Helinska and war looming on the horizon.

However, this last-minute transfer would leave Latilianes unprepared and unaccustomed to this new land, and when war with the Polmarian Triumvirate finally did break out that same year, Latilianes was famously defeated in the Volecian Desert Campaign. However, under his oversight, the civilian populations of most towns and cities were evacuated further south, and documents on the secretive Progammt Reinshal were successfully obtained by Airolian soldiers. However, despite his best efforts, Latilianes and many of his remaining men were eventually surrounded in an Airolian town with hasty fortifications built around it. Latilianes, in an effort to spare the lives of his men, surrendered to the Polmarian general leading the other side, Sub-General Marcus Alden.

   Following this, Latilianes spent his time in military custody until the cataclysm occurred, allowing him to obtain his freedom. However, Latilianes was unable to get to the southern coastal cities of the Lemetiate where evacuations were being conducted, and he was thus trapped on the continent for nearly 20 years. However, once the cataclysm had subsided, he was able to make his way to Lyrinae once again, where he spent the next three years organizing resistance against the new government in favor of a Lemetiate.

Eventually with his oversight, the Lemetiate of Lyrinae seceded from the Accords, thus sparking the Di'Aamascene Civil War officially.
Iljek Provisional Constituent Council

## Iljek Provisional Constituent CouncilIliecki časovy ŭstanoŭčy rad

The **Iljek Provisional Constituent Council**, or **Iljek State**, **Iljek Provisional Government**, was a big-tent provisional government created after the Blue victory in the Third Iljekyan Civil War. Its control over its populace and their respective armed forces was tenuous for its 8-week existence, as it had to placate the monarchists, liberals, anti-Soviet Reds, and ultranationalists within its ranks. The neutral and well-regarded General Václav Dzmitrov was elected as the provisional head of state nearly unilaterally, though he was killed during an indiscriminate Prithanian terror-bombing campaign along with the Minister of War Piotr Besarionov.

The death of Dzmitry would prompt an emergency convention of the Constituent Council on 12 February 1959. The convention would fail to swear in a replacement for either positions and both the right- and left-wing hardliners walked out of the building in protest. The government was informally dissolved soon after.

The disintegration of a unifying Iljekyan authority would then spark the February Crisis as the ICO and CETO attempted to restore order to the region, often in direct competition with each other, eventually resulting in the passing of Security Council Resolution 1066.
