'''The Republic of Megatridimensional Order''' (also known as '''The Order''', '''MTO''' and '''Megatrine''') is a Republic consisting of five states.  The northern states are on the [[Pelagean subcontinent]], while the southern states reside on the [[Libian subcontinent]]. The Republic is notable for its quasi-religious belief in special powers of the number three, though that belief has shown a marked decline over the past three decades.  It is also known for its expansionist tendencies and its unpredictable shifts on the individual freedom of its citizens.
  
The '''All-House Union of Myroria''' (commonly known as '''Myroria''') is an elective monarchy consisting of four counties and a royally-administered colony. Metropolitan Myroria is located on the northern tip of the [[Pelagean subcontinent]], bordering Austrasia and [[Letonna]] to the south. The colony of [[Resdaynia]] is located on the southwestern portion of the continent of Australis in the southern hemisphere.
 
 
Myroria possesses political features unique among contemporary states. Its political system is characterized by its election of the nation's king, known as its [[Sedera]], who rules until "death or bad behavior", and by the presence of numerous Houses, among which three [[Great Houses]] predominate. Houses derive from ancient Myrorian clans and families, but today function mainly as political parties; membership in Houses is determined by a complex system of births, marriages, and adoption of retainers. The Myrorian state has been described as a "fledgling democracy", an "absolute monarchy", and a "violent anocracy".
 
 
The mainland of Myroria was inhabited for thousands of years by the [[Pelagian people]], who ruled an empire spanning Pelagea for millennia. By contrast, the [[Myrorian people]] inhabited a wide area north of [[Ozia]] until their migration to modern-day Myroria in the 1600s. A combined Myrorian, Eluvataran, and Prydainian force invaded the Pelagian Empire in 1653 and toppled the government, leading to the establishment of the modern Myrorian state in 1655.
 
 
Myroria is a developed country and one of the world's foremost industrial powers. Despite this, however, a majority of the population lives in rural areas throughout Myroria, and the nation has one of the highest income disparities in the world; roughly 17% of the population lives in poverty according to the Myrorian Census Agency. The Myrorian economy is mainly service-based, though a vibrant manufacturing sector exists as well. It is one of the world's foremost scientific powers and a leader in technology spending.

+
===Origin===
 +
 +
In 1788 citizens of [[Telembria]] revolted against the strict two-party power structure of Telembrian politics. As a condition of peace, Telembria offered the revolutionaries a ten year expatriation plan and land in what was known as the [[Telembrian Wildlands]] "and beyond" in exchange for an end to the revolution. Over 152,000 citizens accepted the offer and Megatrine was officially founded on January 1, 1799.  The governmental structure was put in place by leaders of the revolution, and the first government officials were voted into office on October 31, 1799.

+
The first Megatrine city of [[Novum]] was founded on a tract of wetlands unfit for cultivation and later named the [[Crudumpascor Swamps]].  With the Telembrians to the north, [[Satan's Spire]] and the [[Trine River]] impeding exploration to the south, it was widely believed that the Megatrines would revert to Telembrian rule within a decade or less. However, in 1802, explorers from Megatrine succeeded in finding a path around the mountain into the tropical and fertile region south of the Trine River.

+
Finding itself unrestricted, Megatrine rapidly expanded to cover the southernmost portions of Pelagea and well into Libia.  In 1835, Megatrine unknowingly extended past the borders of the [[Terronian Nation]], but subsequently refused to relinquish the land acquired. The ensuing war completely destroyed the Terronians. The genocide was internationally condemned, eliminating the last of any goodwill the young isolationist nation enjoyed. Megatrine moved further south in 1852, during the [[Caustium Wars]] with the [[Viscuito]]. By the end of the wars, Megatrine had expanded further south, and as a result of reported war atrocities was internationally condemned.

+
In 1885, Megatrine expanded further during the [[Expansion Wars]], which was a sustained series of small battles over the course of three years.
  
 +
In 1932, the Republic began [[The Megatrine Southern March]].  In eight short years, the Megatrine displaced or assimilated thirteen small to medium tribes living in what is now the state of [[Mordant]]. In 1940, the Megatrine government halted expansion, leaving the [[Comdantri Nortellus]] civilization to their west.
  
==Government and politics==
+
Instead, only three days after the end of the Southern March, the Republic demanded Ogbuni and Funkadelia turn over resources under the pretense of correcting human rights violations.  When Ogbuni and Funkadelia declined, the Republic attacked Ogbuni, considered the first attack in the Taijitu Greater War.
[[File:Grand Imperial Residence.jpeg|thumb|left|174px|The Sedera's Residence, the home of Myroria's monarch, in Pelagis.]]
+
Myroria is a constitutional monarchy. The monarch of Myroria, styled the Sedera or doge, in theory has unlimited power to make decrees as he or she pleases. In reality, however, the monarch's power is curtailed by a complex relationship with Myroria's legislature, the [[Council of Great Houses]], composed of 421 representatives from the three [[House system|Great Houses]], confederations of Myrorian families that historically were based in tradition, rite, and religion, but now function mainly as political parties. There are no elections in the traditional sense of the word; membership in a Great House, and by proxy participation in government, is mainly a matter of birth, marriage, or adoption.
+
  
===House and kin===
+
Internal tension grew between three factions: those advocating further expansion, those demanding an end to expansion, and those wishing to continue to expand but without human rights violations. 
  
Myroria has been organized for hundreds of years according to Great Houses. Great Houses were once complex traditions surrounding Myrorian families and tribes, but today function mainly as political parties. A Great House is comprised of one or more Lesser Houses, or Houses for short. Often a Great House is formed when one Lesser House swears fealty to another, usually larger or more powerful, Lesser House. In this way Lesser Houses can pool their political power. If a Lesser House feels its needs are being neglected within the larger Great House structure, it can break its bonds of fealty and go it alone, or pledge itself to a new Great House.
+
In 1964, the nation erupted into The [[Megatrine Civil War]] between the Ascendancy, Rationalists and the Universal Rights Defense Front (URDF). The Ascendancy gained control over the government and abruptly closed borders during the [[1966 Foreign Purge]]. The nation expelled all foreigners and essentially cut itself off from contact with the rest of Taijitu. The Rationalists ultimately won the war, the URDF metamorphosed from militant outlaws into a major political party, and the Ascendancy was scattered.
  
Membership in a House is largely a matter of birth or marriage, but anyone, even foreigners, can be adopted by a House as a retainer. Through hard work and recognition, even a commoner can raise their prospects and even become a member of the House leadership. Historically, before the Exodus, dozens of Great Houses ruled Myroria. After the invasion of Pelagia and the establishment of the new Myrorian state, it was set in law that the three largest Great Houses would rule Myroria jointly through the Council of Great Houses.
+
===Post-Civil War===
  
Historically disputes between Houses could become violent very quickly. Shortly after the Exodus, as the Myrorian people were settling in their new homeland, various feuds in which Houses almost marched on each other in force threatened to disrupt the stability of the central government. The Council of Great Houses enacted the institution of [[House War]], where a House could legally order the execution of a rival noble that did them some wrong. This system persisted for hundreds of years until being banned in the 1940s by [[Fendryn Quarrovth]], but assassinations in Myroria are still widely performed and its political system has been described as "violently anocratic".
+
Megatrine remained dark until it re-opened its borders for the [[Megatridimensional Economic Summit of 1983]]. In an effort to reintegrate itself into Taijitu, the Republic offered nations a free-trade agreement and [[Digital Megaprocesser Microchip Technology]] (DMMT), a highly advanced computer processing chip.  Six nations attended, and two, [[Myroria]] and the [[Allied States of Bustos]] signed the free trade agreement. Shortly after the guests arrived, fourteen people were killed and seven others injured in the [[Frostoria Massacre]], conducted by remnants of the Ascendancy.  Duke Valerio Alosiso of the Allied States was among the wounded.  The Summit paused but resumed two days later.  Only the Myroria delegation left after the shooting, though they did return days later to sign the agreement.
  
===The Council of Great Houses===

==Government and politics==
[[File:Councl of Great Houses Council Hall.jpg|thumb|right|174px|The Council of Great Houses in Pelagis.]]
+
[[File:Megatrine Government Structure.png|thumb|left|350px|The Megatrine Government Structure]]
The Council of the Great Houses of Myroria is a pseudo-democratic legislature in constant struggle for political supremacy with the Empeurer of Myroria. The Council is comprised of the three largest Great Houses of Myroria; generally each House appoints Councillors to represent it in the legislature. The number of legislators allocated to each house is determined by the [[Clerk of the Great Houses]], described below. Every ten years, a census is conducted in Myroria where participants are asked which House they belong to. The majority House in each representative district of Myroria is allocated one seat on the council. In addition, the legislature is reapportioned every two years according to census projections, though this reapportionment is usually less dramatic than the post-census reapportionnment. Usually Councillors are members of the dominant family in the Great House, but a handful of Great Houses, such as Great House Vrotrith, have traditionally elected their members.
+
The Megatrine Government structure is a republic structure with legislative, judicial and executive functions meant to strike balance and encourage dealmaking. Proponents contend that the government operates as designed, citing the law making/amending processes and the ability to overcome any single body should that body "deviate from the will of the people." Critics maintain that the Prime Minister, by virtue of control of the Ministry of Psychology and Order Guards, is overly powerful, while other critics claim the Presidium, with control of the Military, has the advantage.
  
The rights reserved to the Council aren't specified in law, but its power has in general increased over the years. One power the Council has that has been officially enshrined in law is the power of impeachment. The Council can, by a two-thirds majority vote, impeach the Sedera and remove him from office. This process has only ever been used when the Sedera has broken some law enshrined in the Constitution of Myroria, but theoretically the Council could impeach the monarch simply for maladministration. The most recent Sedera to be impeached was Peté Tar-Ilium in 1969.
+
===Prime Minister===
 +
The Prime Minister (or PM) serves at the top of the Megatrine government. The PM has the responsibility to approve or veto any legislation, and is in charge of conducting all foreign relations. He may sign treaties and declare war, though he must negotiate with the Presidium, which oversees the Megatrine military, on how the treaty or war is to be conducted.
  
Any time a House breaks a bond of fealty or forms a new one, this must be registered with the [[Clerk of the Great Houses]]. Called "the most powerful person in Myroria" by some, the Clerk registers and keeps track of the often complex network of marriages, births, and vassalships that characterize the relationships between the Great and Lesser Houses. In this way the Clerk ensures that each Great House gets an appropriate number of seats on the Council. The Council is officially reapportioned every two years by the Clerk, who traditionally belongs to no Great House.
+
The PM also has sole control over the Ministry of Psychology and subsequently, control of the Order Guard. The PM is voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens.
  
====The three Great Houses====
+
====Ministry of Psychology====
=====Great House Quarrovth=====
+
The Ministry of Psychology is an unelected body of 30 members appointed every six years by the Prime Minister for the purpose of educating the public regarding national law and for the purpose of enforcing those laws.  The enforcement of laws is carried out by the [[Order Guard]], the national police force.
  
Great House Quarrovth is the largest Great House on the council, holding 273 seats. Its members are mainly concentrated in [[County Ivorheart]] and [[County Traval]], in the rural areas of the country. Most members of Great House Quarrovth are veterans or children of veterans. It soared from a relatively minor Great House in the early 1890s to the kingship after the death of [[Nelvil II Moomintroth]] in 1930 - after the [[Great War]], new veterans flocked to the Quarrovth banner due to its leadership - General [[Fendryn Quarrovth]], a war hero who fought in the Great War and the Indigenous Wars in Resdaynia. He became the first Quarrovth Sedera upon the death of Nelvil II in 1930.
+
===Ministry of Governance===
 +
The Ministry of Governance (or MGov) is a three person body responsible for championing the addition of new laws. It serves as the Senate advocate for more laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of bills written in the Senate. The three members of the MGov are Senators voted into office by the Senate once every three years.
  
Since the 1940s, the House has promoted mainly a centrist libertarian platform, advocating few restrictions on industry and high personal freedom. Historically there was a strong social conservative wing based in rural County Ivorheart, but this wing has greatly diminished over time. The head, or Lord, of Great House Quarrovth is the reigning Sedera of Myroria, [[Fredrika Quarrovth Tar-Ilium]]. The head of its Council delegation, and the Head of the Majority, is Idril Quarrovth.
+
===Ministry of Equity===
 +
The Ministry of Equity (or MEq) is a three person body responsible for championing amendments to existing laws.  It serves as the citizen advocate for changing existing laws, and to keep the number of laws from rising or falling; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of proposed amendments to the law written in either the Senate or the Assembly. The three members of the MEq are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens once every three years. Members of the MEq cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the Presidium.
  
=====Great House Vrotrith=====
+
===Ministry of Autonomy===
 +
The Ministry of Autonomy (or MAut) is a three person body responsible for championing the repeal and removal of existing laws.  It serves as the Assembly advocate for less laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve or repeal proposals written in the Assembly.  The three members of the MAut are Assembly legislators voted into office by the Assembly once every three years.
  
Great House Vrotrith is the second-largest House on the Council, holding 109 seats. Its members mainly reside in [[County Novrith]] and in the cities scattered throughout Myroria. Most members of Great House Vrotrith are union workers, academics, and young college students. House Vrotrith is the only House on the Council to elect its representatives from its own members. It has been on the Council since the 1930s, when it replaced House Indiotrovth - never-confirmed rumors that the old aristocratic House had been infiltrated by foreign agents greatly diminished Indiotrovth's standing among the people and its sworn Lesser Houses quickly fled from its banner.
+
===The Presidium===
 +
[[File:Megatrine_Exec.jpg|thumb|right|174px|Megatrine Executive Building]]
 +
The Presidium is a three person body responsible for ensuring that new laws, amendments and repeals are 1) from the proper ministry, 2) if approved, will not conflict with any existing law and 3) the title of any new law or amendment is not ambiguous. The Presidium also ratifies a legislative override of a PM veto, by certifying that the reason for PM veto has been adequately addressed.  The three members of the Presidium are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens once every three years.  Members of the Presidium cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the MEq.
  
Great House Vrotrith has always promoted a democratic socialist platform, and is fiercely anti-monarchy. Rothis Vrotrith has said on numerous occasions that if ever elected Sedera, he would immediately dismantle the House system and replace it with a parliamentary democracy. Its head, or Premier, is [[Rothis Vrotrith]] and the head of its Council delegation, and the Head of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, is Lleram Vrotrith.
+
===The Senate===
 +
The Megatrine Senate writes bills for new laws and proposals for amendments to existing laws. They cannot repeal laws. It serves as the citizen advocate for more laws.
  
=====Great House Moomintroth=====
+
===The Assembly===
 +
The Megatrine Senate writes repeals of existing laws and proposals for amendments to existing laws.  They cannot write new laws.  It serves as the citizen advocate for less laws.
  
Great House Moomintroth is the smallest and politically weakest House on the Council, holding 39 seats. A shell of the glory it once had throughout the 1800s and early 1900s, its members are primarily old aristocrats scattered throughout the interior of [[County Novrith]] and [[County Ivorheart]]. It rode a wave of populist support for the monarchy throughout the intensely nationalistic days of the mid-19th century and was elected to the monarchy by a landslide, but a Pyrrhic victory and heavy losses during the Great War permanently crippled it politically, and it now spends most of its time waiting to be removed from the Council by some other upstart.
+
==Major Cities==
 +
[[Tabula Rasa]] (capital), [[Nirvana]], Veruca Salt, Iudicium, [[Novum]], Aliquanto, Kosmaro, New Rathaleo, Trine, Caustium, Sikker City,  Petrus City, Fatama
  
Politically, it holds a socially and economically conservative platform with a historically strong populist bent, but currently has few members among what would be called the "common people". Its Head, or Lord, is Duldrar "Papa" Moomintroth, and the head of its Council delegation is Deryn Moomintroth.
+
==Culture==
  
===The Sedera===
+
===Holidays===
  
The ''Sedera'' is the monarch of Myroria. He/she is elected to serve the rest of his or her life on the throne. As long as a House holds a majority on the Council, the Sedera's heir is usually chosen to succeed him or her once they die. However, if, while a monarch is alive, a new House takes the majority, their heir is usually passed over in favor of a member of the new majority Great House.
+
[[Super Mega Day]] - First Sunday in February annually<br>
[[File:Fredrika 1984.jpg|thumb|left|174px|Fredrika Tar-Ilium, reigning Sedera of Myroria.]]
+
[[Mocking Day]] - February 20 and August 20 annually<br>
The Sedera is ostensibly an absolute monarch only beholden to what the Constitution forbids him/her to do. In reality, a complex system of checks and balances forbids the monarch from exercising too much power. Traditionally, the monarch submits a plan for its legislative agenda for the year to the Council every January, and acts by decree - though these decrees are largely ceremonial. Every potential law is carefully worked out in the Council before the monarch can officially make it so.
+
[[Rage Day]] - November 10 annually<br>
  
In certain instances, as when the "national security" is threatened, the monarch is allowed more leeway in what he or she is allowed to decree into law, but even then most things must be reviewed by the Council before they may be passed. The incumbent Sedera is [[Fredrika Quarrovth Tar-Ilium]], and has been on the throne since 1969.
+
===Sports===
  
====Death of a king====
+
The Megatrine national sport is [[Gridiron football]].
  
On the seventh of May, 1930, the Sedera of Myroria, [[Nelvil II Moomintroth]], died. In the traditional Myrorian fashion, in the main courtyard of the Royal Residence, a cage containing 30 black swallowtail butterflies was opened and its contents released to signal the death of the monarch, though most of the populace had heard of the event on the news hours before.
+
===Cinema===
  
[[Great House Moomintroth]] had held a majority on the Council throughout the [[Great War]], but shortly after its end found its bound Houses fleeing its banner in alarming numbers. By 1920 it was clear to everyone on the Council and off that House Moomintroth would not hold enough seats to win the election once Nelvil II died.
+
===Literature===
  
Soon after his death, the two major contenders for the kingship were [[Fendryn Quarrovth]], war hero and decorated general, and [[Avos Indiotrovth]], an aristocrat of high birth. House Moomintroth, still of formidable size, was the wild card - whichever Great House could form a coalition with Moomintroth for the vote would surely take the throne. House Moomintroth seemed naturally inclined to side with Indiotrovth - both Houses were made up of aristocrats of noble birth, as opposed to Great House Quarrovth, whose head was a virtual commoner who, while wealthy, had spent years on the far-flung colony of Resdaynia.
+
===Music===
  
Almost immediately after Nelvil's death, though, rumors soon started to spread that House Indiotrovth had been infiltrated by the [[Eluvataran Royal Operations Bureau|EROB]] - Eluvatar's intelligence agency. Despite the rumors never being confirmed, wide outrage among the populace forced Great House Moomintroth to form a coalition with Great House Quarrovth and elect Fendryn to the throne in June of 1930.
+
===Philosophy===
  
Such politicking is common among the Great Houses, especially near a Royal election. After Fendryn's election it was widely believed on the Council that retainers of House Quarrovth started and deliberately spread the rumors about Indiotrovth in order to win the election - Sedera Fendryn never responded to these rumors.

===Foreign relations===
  
Myroria is a member of the [[Coalition of Carth]], an attendee [[Cefnor Conference]], and a founding member of the [[Cefnori Community]]. Myroria has historically had a close relationship with [[Eluvatar]] and [[Prydainia]] and shares technology and intelligence between both countries. In addition, Myroria shares an open travel area with [[Letonna]]. Myroria's foreign influence is further amplified through foreign investments, trading agreements, the foreign activities of its Great Houses, and military engagements.  
+
The Order's relationship with other nations is usually one of tension.  This is due, in part, to the Order's expansionist tendencies and sometimes isolationist policies.  Generally speaking, in modern day, the Order counts [[Khem]] as one of its closest allies, along with [[The Allied States of Bustos]], [[St Oz]], [[Myroria]] and [[Marcos Philippines]].

The armed forces of Myroria - officially the ''[[Royal Armed Forces]]'' - consist of three service branches: the [[Royal Army]], the [[Royal Navy]] and [[Royal Marines]] (forming the Naval Services), and the [[Royal Air Force]]. In addition, Myroria maintains [[Her Majesty's Coast Guard]] and [[Her Majesty's Border Service]]. The armed forces are managed by the Minister of Defense. The commander-in-chief of the Myrorian military is the monarch, currently [[Fredrika Tar-Ilium]], to whom members of the military swear an oath of allegiance. The Armed Forces are charged with defending Myroria and Resdaynia from external threats, promoting Myroria's global security interests, and taking part in global peacekeeping missions. They are active participants in the [[Coalition of Carth]] and other international security treaties.
 
 
The Myrorian armed forces play a key part in maintaining Myroria's status as a world power. Throughout its history the armed forces have seen action in a number of wars, including the [[Great War]] and the [[Resdaynian Indigenous Wars]]. By emerging victorious from such events, Myroria has often been able to decisively influence world events. Since the end of the Great War, however, the Myrorian military has begun to shrink in size, and today the government spends only a small part of its GDP on defense expenditures.

===Population===
A [[Myrorian census|census]] is taken simultaneously in all parts of Myroria and Resdaynia every ten years. The [[Myrorian Census Bureau]] is responsible for collecting this data in Metropolitan Myroria and the [[Resdaynian Census Board]] is responsible for collection in Resdaynia. In the 1980 census the population of Myroria was 55,120,908. Between 1971 and 1981 the population of Myroria increased by an annual rate of approximately 0.75 percent. This compares to 0.6 percent between the years of 1961 and 1971 and 0.7 percent between the years of 1951 and 1961.
 
 
Myrorian society is linguistically and culturally homogenous, comprised of 95.1% ethnic Myrorians, with small populations of immigrants. [[Austrasia|Austrasians]], [[Eluvatar|Eluvatarans]], and [[Ozians]] comprise most of Myroria's immigrant groups. The [[Pelagian people]], indigenous to the Myrorian mainland, are the largest single minority group. Most Pelagians live in Myroria's cities, and in a few Pelagian-majority towns in County Ivorheart. Some sociologists have characterized Myroria, and especially Myrorian cities, as a "multicultural society", which the Myrorian government vehemently denies. The official position of most Myrorian politicians is that the nation is a land of "one race, one civilization, one language, and one culture.". Discrimination against foreigners and Pelagians is commonplace; one study found that one out of three Pelagians were victims of a violent crime perpetrated by a Myrorian.
 
 
Myroria's average life expectancy is 78.8 years, but in reality it is much lower for people living in poverty. The median age is 31.8 years. About 78% of Myrorians live in rural areas. In 1980, only one Myrorian city, [[Novrith]], had a population of over one million, though the combined metropolitan area of [[Fellowmoor]]-[[Pelagis]] nears Novrith's in size. The cities of Novrith and Pelagis both grew by more than 100,000 people between 1970 and 1980.

[[Myrorian language|Myrorian]] is the de facto national language. Although there is no official language at the government level, some laws standardize Myrorian usage. In 1980, roughly 44 million people, or 80% of the population, speak Myrorian as their first language and/or at home. [[Pelagian language|Pelagian]], spoken at home by 9% of the population, is the second most common language and the most widely taught second language. Pelagian is used widely as a technical language as well, mostly in law and the sciences. Some Myrorians advocate making Myrorian the country's official language.
 
 
In [[Resdaynia ]], which has a large [[Resdaynian Aborigine]] population, both Myrorian and the Aboriginal language of K'tarinjara are official languages. While neither has an official language, [[County Traval]] and [[County Omaryseth]] have laws providing for the use of Myrorian and Ozian. In addition, County Traval mandates the translation of government documents into the Austrasian language. Many jurisdictions with large foreign-born populations mandate translations of government materials such as census forms into the most commonly spoken language there.
 
 
Myrorian Sign Language (MSL) is the native language of a number of Deaf and hearing people in Myroria. While few studies have been conducted, by some counts up to 350,000 Myrorians are fluent in MSL. Approximately 239 languages are spoken or signed by the Myrorian population, of which only [[Pelagian]] and its dialects are indigenous to the area. Thirty-seven languages formerly spoken in Myroria's territory are now extinct.
 
  
 
===Religion===
 
===Religion===
 
Myroria's laws prohibit the establishment of a national religion and guarantee the free exercise of religion by the nation's populace. [[Myrorian Catholicism]] is by far the most common religion practiced in Myroria, but others are followed as well. In a 1982 survey, 45% of Myrorians said religion played a "very important role" in their lives, a far lower percentage than only 20 years earlier in 1962, where 60% of Myrorians said religion was very important to them. A 1980 poll found that an average of 39% of Myrorians attend church weekly; ranging from a low of 20% in [[County Novrith]] to a high of 57% in the east of [[County Ivorheart]]. As with other Eastern countries, Myroria is becoming less religious. Irreligion is growing particularly quickly among adults under 30. Polls show that overall Myrorians have less confidence in organized religion than in the past an d that younger Myrorians in particular are becoming more irreligious.
 
 
According to a 1982 survey, 71.2% of Myrorians said that they were Catholic, down from 78% in 1970. The total reporting non-Catholic religion was 7%, up from 5% in 1970. Other religions include [[Gaeanism]], [[Eruvism]], and various Pelagian pagan religions. The survey also reported that 19.8% of Myrorians described themselves as irreligious, whether it be atheist, agnostic, or simply having no religion. Religion plays the largest role in daily life in the interior of the nation, mostly in [[County Ivorheart]] and northeastern [[County Traval]]. By contrast, religion plays the smallest role in the coasts and cities, especially [[County Novrith]] and coastal [[County Traval]].

The Republic of Megatridimensional Order (also known as The Order, MTO and Megatrine) is a Republic consisting of five states. The northern states are on the Pelagean subcontinent, while the southern states reside on the Libian subcontinent. The Republic is notable for its quasi-religious belief in special powers of the number three, though that belief has shown a marked decline over the past three decades. It is also known for its expansionist tendencies and its unpredictable shifts on the individual freedom of its citizens.


History

Origin

In 1788 citizens of Telembria revolted against the strict two-party power structure of Telembrian politics. As a condition of peace, Telembria offered the revolutionaries a ten year expatriation plan and land in what was known as the Telembrian Wildlands "and beyond" in exchange for an end to the revolution. Over 152,000 citizens accepted the offer and Megatrine was officially founded on January 1, 1799. The governmental structure was put in place by leaders of the revolution, and the first government officials were voted into office on October 31, 1799.

The first Megatrine city of Novum was founded on a tract of wetlands unfit for cultivation and later named the Crudumpascor Swamps. With the Telembrians to the north, Satan's Spire and the Trine River impeding exploration to the south, it was widely believed that the Megatrines would revert to Telembrian rule within a decade or less. However, in 1802, explorers from Megatrine succeeded in finding a path around the mountain into the tropical and fertile region south of the Trine River.

Expansion

Finding itself unrestricted, Megatrine rapidly expanded to cover the southernmost portions of Pelagea and well into Libia. In 1835, Megatrine unknowingly extended past the borders of the Terronian Nation, but subsequently refused to relinquish the land acquired. The ensuing war completely destroyed the Terronians. The genocide was internationally condemned, eliminating the last of any goodwill the young isolationist nation enjoyed. Megatrine moved further south in 1852, during the Caustium Wars with the Viscuito. By the end of the wars, Megatrine had expanded further south, and as a result of reported war atrocities was internationally condemned.

In 1885, Megatrine expanded further during the Expansion Wars, which was a sustained series of small battles over the course of three years.

In 1932, the Republic began The Megatrine Southern March. In eight short years, the Megatrine displaced or assimilated thirteen small to medium tribes living in what is now the state of Mordant. In 1940, the Megatrine government halted expansion, leaving the Comdantri Nortellus civilization to their west.

Instead, only three days after the end of the Southern March, the Republic demanded Ogbuni and Funkadelia turn over resources under the pretense of correcting human rights violations. When Ogbuni and Funkadelia declined, the Republic attacked Ogbuni, considered the first attack in the Taijitu Greater War.

Internal tension grew between three factions: those advocating further expansion, those demanding an end to expansion, and those wishing to continue to expand but without human rights violations.

In 1964, the nation erupted into The Megatrine Civil War between the Ascendancy, Rationalists and the Universal Rights Defense Front (URDF). The Ascendancy gained control over the government and abruptly closed borders during the 1966 Foreign Purge. The nation expelled all foreigners and essentially cut itself off from contact with the rest of Taijitu. The Rationalists ultimately won the war, the URDF metamorphosed from militant outlaws into a major political party, and the Ascendancy was scattered.

Post-Civil War

Megatrine remained dark until it re-opened its borders for the Megatridimensional Economic Summit of 1983. In an effort to reintegrate itself into Taijitu, the Republic offered nations a free-trade agreement and Digital Megaprocesser Microchip Technology (DMMT), a highly advanced computer processing chip. Six nations attended, and two, Myroria and the Allied States of Bustos signed the free trade agreement. Shortly after the guests arrived, fourteen people were killed and seven others injured in the Frostoria Massacre, conducted by remnants of the Ascendancy. Duke Valerio Alosiso of the Allied States was among the wounded. The Summit paused but resumed two days later. Only the Myroria delegation left after the shooting, though they did return days later to sign the agreement.

Government and politics

The Megatrine Government Structure

The Megatrine Government structure is a republic structure with legislative, judicial and executive functions meant to strike balance and encourage dealmaking. Proponents contend that the government operates as designed, citing the law making/amending processes and the ability to overcome any single body should that body "deviate from the will of the people." Critics maintain that the Prime Minister, by virtue of control of the Ministry of Psychology and Order Guards, is overly powerful, while other critics claim the Presidium, with control of the Military, has the advantage.

Prime Minister

The Prime Minister (or PM) serves at the top of the Megatrine government. The PM has the responsibility to approve or veto any legislation, and is in charge of conducting all foreign relations. He may sign treaties and declare war, though he must negotiate with the Presidium, which oversees the Megatrine military, on how the treaty or war is to be conducted.

The PM also has sole control over the Ministry of Psychology and subsequently, control of the Order Guard. The PM is voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens.

Ministry of Psychology

The Ministry of Psychology is an unelected body of 30 members appointed every six years by the Prime Minister for the purpose of educating the public regarding national law and for the purpose of enforcing those laws. The enforcement of laws is carried out by the Order Guard, the national police force.

Ministry of Governance

The Ministry of Governance (or MGov) is a three person body responsible for championing the addition of new laws. It serves as the Senate advocate for more laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of bills written in the Senate. The three members of the MGov are Senators voted into office by the Senate once every three years.

Ministry of Equity

The Ministry of Equity (or MEq) is a three person body responsible for championing amendments to existing laws. It serves as the citizen advocate for changing existing laws, and to keep the number of laws from rising or falling; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve of proposed amendments to the law written in either the Senate or the Assembly. The three members of the MEq are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens once every three years. Members of the MEq cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the Presidium.

Ministry of Autonomy

The Ministry of Autonomy (or MAut) is a three person body responsible for championing the repeal and removal of existing laws. It serves as the Assembly advocate for less laws; they lobby the Presidium and the Prime Minister to approve or repeal proposals written in the Assembly. The three members of the MAut are Assembly legislators voted into office by the Assembly once every three years.

The Presidium

Megatrine Executive Building

The Presidium is a three person body responsible for ensuring that new laws, amendments and repeals are 1) from the proper ministry, 2) if approved, will not conflict with any existing law and 3) the title of any new law or amendment is not ambiguous. The Presidium also ratifies a legislative override of a PM veto, by certifying that the reason for PM veto has been adequately addressed. The three members of the Presidium are voted into office on a simple majority of Megatrine citizens once every three years. Members of the Presidium cannot have held a legislative position prior to their election, but may have held office in the MEq.

The Senate

The Megatrine Senate writes bills for new laws and proposals for amendments to existing laws. They cannot repeal laws. It serves as the citizen advocate for more laws.

The Assembly

The Megatrine Senate writes repeals of existing laws and proposals for amendments to existing laws. They cannot write new laws. It serves as the citizen advocate for less laws.

Foreign relations

The Order's relationship with other nations is usually one of tension. This is due, in part, to the Order's expansionist tendencies and sometimes isolationist policies. Generally speaking, in modern day, the Order counts Khem as one of its closest allies, along with The Allied States of Bustos, St Oz, Myroria and Marcos Philippines.
