It encompasses the entirety of the Eastern Island of Adoria, bordering Greece to the North. Synaro is the most populous and largest state by area in Adoria, with the largest economy. The state's capital and largest city is Vástos. The population of Synaro is predominantly Greek, although other ethnic minorities such as Adorian, Italian, Turk, Lavandi, and Arab are also present in significant numbers. The state possesses abundant natural resources and features excellent transport connectivity.

## History

Around 1 Million years ago the first Humans started entering Adoria via Synaro and first settled in todays Synaro starting spreading into Adoria from there. The next big Step in Adorias history was the Neolithic Revolution spreading from Greece over Synaro in the Country at around 7000 BCE.

At around 2700 BCE Synaro was one of the First Areas in Adoria which used Bronze Tools as Artefacts of Burial Site from the Korakou Culture dated around 1700 BCE later showed.

Many of these Bronze tools came from the Minoans with which the people of Adoria traded. Minoan and Adorian Bronze Artefacts belonging to the Korakou Culture were found in Synaro.

Around 1400 BCE the Mycean Culture reached Synaro and spreaded from there Nationwide.

As the Bronze Age collapsed Dark Times know as the Greek Dark Ages plagued Synaro. Of all Regions in Adoria Synaro was hit the Hardest but also it brought a new group of Settlers called the Ilavs which settled in Parts of Synaro but mostly Lavanda Islands.

After the end of the Greek Dark Ages in the so called Archaic Ages the first City States formed in Synaro. In these times many City States were at war with each other and with the City States in Greece. One Important war of that Era is the War of the Three Cities around 645-640 BCE in which the City States of Synaros, Zelos and Hephapolis fought against a rising Greek Power named Sparta. Ufortunately the Alliance was beat in the Battle of the Red Hills at the Outskirts of Synaro.

Later around 500 BCE the City of Synaro would be forced into the Peloponessian League through a Spartan conquest which luckily did not lead to any further Expansion into Adoria. City States lile Zelos, Epipotamo and Hepapholis would play a great role in the Defence of the Area against the invading Persians but ultimately would be caught in the Peloppennesian Wars between Athens and Sparta in the early 400s BCE.

After that they fell under Macedonian Hegemony. A attempt to revolt was crushed by Alexander the Great at the Battle of Synaro which is sometimes also called the 2nd Battle of the Red Hills. With this Victory Alexander restored the Macedonian Hegemony over Synaro. The Region of Synaro would remain like this until the Collapse of the Macedonian Empire.

## Symbolism

### Tooger governorship

#### Term 1

At these times ties with Maritania were stronger than they've ever been with both Governors and Lt. Governors sharing the same party, the Hellenic People's Front which has at times called for succession from the Adorian State and entry into the Hellenic Republic.

On 16 December 2020, tooger announced a constitutional convention for an independent Synaro, with one representative each per party, and an election for the Independents seat. Epstein Didn't Kill Himself won that indies' seat versus Lemon.
On December 28th, for whatever reason tooger fired Sim and replaced him with Seafox, tooger would then resign making Seafox the new Governor.

#### Term 2

Tooger, once again governor, filled the vacant spots of Directors of Economy, Health, Energy, Security and Infrastructure. Epstein Didn't Kill Himself became DoEco, a Deleted User became DoS and alexteodor became DoI. The other two remained vacant. He also enacted laws to establish the Police Force of Synaro, the Fire Department of Synaro, and the Ambulance of Synaro.

Tooger won at the 4th Adorian Gubernatorial Elections on January 22-23, 2021, appointing Seafox as his lieutenant and then resigning.

### Seafox governorship

#### Term 1

Following the 2nd Gubernatorial elections Seafox would get elected for his own term and Gio would be his Lt. Governor. Lacking a flag Synaro would hold a referendum in the meantime a placeholder flag would be used. Gio would be the only one to submit a flag and it would be adopted by the province. Many were not satisfied with the German War Flag inspired flag. Gio would also propose his Provincial Policing bill which would legalize the quartering of soldiers in peacetime in Synaro, banning criticism of the Provincial government, expelling the federal police, suspending the right to trial, and establishing a secret police, the Synaron Gestapo. However the Provincial Policing bill was widely unpopular and on January 4th, 2021, Governor Seafox would replace Gio with Fmr. Synaro Governor tooger.

#### Term 2

Seafox enacted legislation to give a tax break to businesses relying on renewable energy (passed 9 to 4) and attempted to ban pride parades not approved by the government (not passed 3 to 11).

The term that was originally started by Tooger at the 4th Elections ended 3 February 2021, a day after the relief bill passed a referendum that was seen as invalid because Gov. Auber's main opponent, Seafox, pointed out that he forgot to add a 👎 downvote button.

Auber's last-minute legislation established a Provincial Emergency Cabinet and hiked Health department funding to 14% of the total budget, passing 11 to 7 while facing some opposition because Gov. Auber claimed the province was facing 2 health crises while actually, "covid-19 is not real ", as Satsewma said. A second referendum for the relief bill also passed during the election process, 10 to 3.
Auber outright won 59% of the vote at the 5th gubernatorial election.

After the election, Lt. Gov. Meow Zedong ran a referendum for a provincial anthem. He also wrote the Synaro Labor and unions Act that was enacted, 8 to 4, to protect workers' union members from discrimination and prohibit employer attacks on labor organizations. 7 February also saw the passing of the Synaro Nationalization Act, which allows for a legal process of government takeover of companies impeding on workers' rights, as well as the People's Court Act to establish a state judiciary.

The next day, the referendum on Synaro's new anthem went to a second round, with the options being the Greek version of The Internationale, the YMCA USSR Parody, Rush B, and the incumbent Napalm Sticks to Kids. An amendment to the People's Court Act was also pushed on 8 February, making all court trials public instead of private, to comply with national law.

Each district is headed by a Collector, who is responsible for the day-to-day governance and management of the district and has a headquarters based in the district. The three divisions are each headed by a Superintendent, who oversees the work of the Collectors and ensures that their respective divisions are functioning smoothly. The Superintendents are answerable to the Commissioner, who is the head of the entire state and oversees the work of the administrative divisions. The Commissioner relies on the Superintendents to provide him with accurate information about the state of affairs in their respective divisions and to implement policies that are in line with the state's overall development agenda.
