**Athia-Beruvia**, is a country, and the successor to the independent Principality of Athia and nation of Beruvia. Athia-Beruvia has no capital, but prior to the merger which resulted in the new found state, the capital of Athia was Kor and the capital of Beruvia was Plevech. Athia-Beruvia has two de-facto capitals; New Santorini and Plevech.

Athia-Beruvia borders the VoC and the DBC Block.

Athia-Beruvia is governed by an absolute monarchy, with That Bagpipe Guy serving as its current Sovereign Monarch. The country includes some elements of a parliament which acts on behalf of the monarch, but can be overruled. This includes the head of state, fiaziv.

Athia joined the Democratic BruhCraft Council in March 2023, while Beruvia remained in the council continuously since its inception. Athia and Beruvia remain separate countries, however they are united as one state with a shared government and generally share a common policy.

Directly under the monarch, the government is operated by four cabinet directors; the Director of Finance, the Director of Science, the Attorney General, and the Chief of Defence. The directors each operate their respective department, with the Attorney General serving as a dual-role as both the head of the National Court of Athia-Beruvia and the head of government and organizer of the legislative National Council of Athia-Beruvia. The Chief of Defence serves as the operator of Athia-Beruvia's military, reporting directly to the Sovereign Monarch.

Athia-Beruvia has several crown corporations, including the Bank of Athia-Beruvia (formerly Krysos Bancorp under Pixel Industries) and Pixel Industries operating under the Department of Finance and Trade. Tesseract Technologies (formerly a subsidiary of Pixel Industries) and the Athia-Beruvia Rail Company are crown corporations under the Department of Science and Innovation

Athia-Beruvia was the first country to develop nuclear capabilities using the Dragon Egg. Its nuclear powers are closely related to the Athia-Beruvia Nuclear Football, which holds the necessary materials to build weaponry on the go. The country had tested its nuclear powers on multiple occasions in the 0HIO Zone, as well as in the west ocean.

In Late April 2023, Athia-Beruvia announced the creation of the National Intelligence Division, which would be an intelligence and security research organization intended to collect information both internally in Athia-Beruvia, and abroad. The government has opted to keep other information about the NID confidential.

In June 2023, Athia-Beruvia entered a conflict with the VoC over a trans-border movement dispute, involving sudden and controversial law passed by Deputy8787 which prohibited the sovereign prince's exit from the VoC's borders. This quickly escalated to an Atho-Beruvian Armed Forced special military operation which took place over Isentian airspace. In retaliation, the VoC enforced a hard border at the New Santorini border, blocking all forms of transit through the border. An attack took place later on over Isentia, followed by an attack by VoC forces over the Athia-VoC border, where the use of chemical weapons by the VoC was employed. Later that month, a peace treaty was negotiated.

In August 2023, the country announced it had implemented Netherite Dollar bank notes.

In September 2023, Sovereign Prince TheLonelyPixel announced several policy and cabinet changes, including appointing fiaziv as the new Prime Minister, himself as the Secretary of Finance and Science, and stepping down from the position of Sovereign Monarch in favour of That Bagpipe Guy. In addition, the country opted to replace its two seats in the DBC with one for the unified Athia-Beruvia.
