Myroria is a country in the southwest of Taijitu, on the continent of Arda. It is bordered by ocean on the north, east, and south, and by Canada on the west and Quebec on the northwest.
Myroria is an absolute monarchy with some definingly republican traits, such as the ability for the Empeurer to be impeached, as the case of Peté Tar-Ilium showed. The capital is Pelagis. It was founded in 1733 by Roosdan Vyarden, fell under Baltijan control in 1830, then was restored in 1946. From 1969-1992 it was under control of Julius Belsen, a brutal dictator, and was returned to it's current state in late 1992.

History
Pelagian Empire (400 BC-1730 AD)
During the long time of the Pelagian Empire, Myroria was one of the foremost world powers. The Pelagian Empire stretched across Arda, over New Delfos, and even into some parts of south-western Eluvatar. It had huge tracts of land in the south of the central continent, and owned much of the south of the eastern continent. Many ruins of the Pelagian Empire can be seen in New Delfos, Canada, Quebec, northern America, and all over the wilderness, with some natives even making their homes in them. It had a lasting effect on the world until 1730, when a new group of upstart islanders from the east decided they needed more room.
The Pelagian-Myrorian War (1730 AD-1733 AD)
In 1730 AD, as the Pelagian Empire was entering one of it's natural waning periods, a group of people from the archipelago to the east calling themselves the Myrorians sailed west. The Myrorians were remarkably advanced for their time, having perfected the manufacture and tactics of rifling. The first city to fall to the Myrorians was Novrith, the largest seaport in the Pelagian Empire. From Novrith the Myrorians had a clear path to Pelagis, the capital. That fell in June of 1731, and the Pelagian Emperor had to be moved to Easteros to rule. By January 1733, the Myrorians stormed through the Arda section of the Pelagian Empire, conquering most of it and liberating the western part of it, which would later become Baltija. They then sailed west to reach Easteros, and took down the Emperor in October of 1733, forcing him to surrender. The government was quickly established, and the Myrorian King, Roosdan Vyarden, returned to Arda to be crowned on November 5, 1733. All future legitimate kings would be crowned on that day out of tradition.
The First Era (1733 AD-1830 AD)
After the fall of the Pelagian Empire, Myroria chose not to occupy the land to the west of the Southeastern Peninsula of Arda. This formed into the nation of Baltija, and for the most part relations between the two nations were cordial. The First Era kings of Myroria were mostly successful, if not notable. In the 1760s, the Myrorian Catholic Church was formally formed, after it evolved from ideals and theology of the Pelagian Pantheon. The system of The Great Houses was formed not long after. The Kings of the First Era neglected the military, however, allowing a Baltija under a new ruler to invade and annex Myroria.
Baltijan Myroria (1830 AD-1948 AD)
In 1830, a Baltija under Pashka the Great invaded and annexed Myroria without a fight. Myroria would celebrate its centennial and bicentennial under the rule of Baltija. Baltija's political ideology was not unlike Croftism or Stalinism, with both Myrorians and Baltijans regularly being dragged off to labor camps. Though Myroria was still considered an autonomous part of Baltija, in reality it was closely attached to it. Lithuanian was the only language allowed on official documents, not to mention the official one, and aside from the two anniversaries celebrated under it, Myrorian holidays were disallowed. In 1948, following economic disarray and separatism, Baltija fell, and Myroria was independent once again.
