The Union of the Great and Lesser Houses 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 Nouvé 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 Empeurer, 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.

[hide]History
Etymology
The origins of the name "Myroria" begin with the Conquest of Pelagia. The land currently known as Myroria was originally the center of a vast empire known as Pelagia that existed for thousands of years. However, in 1733 an alliance of the "Old Myrorian" people, the Eluvatarans, the Prydainians and various other minor states toppled and destroyed the Pelagian Empire. During the long war between the Pelagians and the Old Myrorians, the Old Myrorians who previously had no name for themselves besides "We" or "Us" were called by the Pelagian name Myror, meaning "sickly" or "ill-favored by fate". With a Myrorian victory, the new inhabitants of Pelagia styled their nation "Myroria", after the Pelagian insult.
Prehistory and the Pelagian Empire
Excavations reveal a human presence in what is now Myroria dating to the Paleolithic era, over 200,000 years ago. Several tribes resided in the area, including the Pelagians. The Sindar Empire would later establish a foothold in the region in [year], but a Pelagian uprising would drive the Sindar from the area and establish an empire that would dominate the region and later lend its name to it - Pelagea.

Military
Main article: Imperial Armed Forces
The Imperial Armed Forces is the official name for the military of Myroria, which reports to the Ministry of Defense. The primary aim of the Myrorian military is to deploy and maintain peacekeeping forces abroad while remaining prepared for a shift to national defense in the event of war. The Imperial Armed Forces are divided into the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, and Imperial Air Force. The head of the armed forces is de jure the Empeurer, but it has been understood since the 19th century that Myroria's monarch should have no active role in military endeavors.
Myroria's military has always been entirely volunteer (see Volunteerism in the Myrorian military). The Myrorian government officially maintains a position that conscription is a violation of human rights, and it is taken so seriously in the upper echelons of Myrorian command that only in a select few cases (e.g., Eluvatar) will Myroria dedicate funds or associate with armed forces comprised at all of conscripts.
