The Empire of All the Houses of Myroria (commonly known as Myroria, or the Myrorian Empire) is a sovereign state located at the northern tip of the Pelagean subcontinent. Myroria proper borders the kingdoms of Austrasia and Neustria to the south, its colony Bellevir borders the People's Republic of Rehemat to the west, and its largest colony Nouvé Resdaynea borders Neustria to the east and Inglo-Scotia to the southeast.

Myroria is an absolute monarchy ruled by the Empeurer of Myroria, but his or her powers are restricted by the Council of Great Houses Under the Empeurer, a body comprised of representatives from each of the three Great Houses of Myroria who have the power to review the Empeurer's laws and veto them if desired. Myroria has two major overseas dependencies; Bellevir in northern Ennorath and Nouvé Resdaynea on the continent of Australis.

Myroria is a developed country and one of the world's foremost industrial powers. It holds close relations with Eluvatar and Inglo-Scotia, the king of the latter being Nelvil II's first cousin. Myroria is a member of the Coalition of Carth.

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 Inglo-Scotians 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.

Government and politics

Main articles: Empeurer of Myroria, Council of Great Houses Under the Empeurer, Great Houses, and Lesser Houses

HIM Peté Tar-Ilium, Empeurer of Myroria and all Her Dominions

The Myrorian Empire is a constitutional monarchy ruled by Empeurer Peté Tar-Ilium. Peté is the ruler of Myroria as well as Myroria's colonies Bellevir and Nouvé Resdaynea. Peté was born and raised in Eluvatar, and is closely related to the Dunedain aristocracy in the nation.

The Myrorian Constitution is a small one compared to that of other nations, and merely defines how the government works and a Bill of Rights of the Myrorian people. The Empeurer's power is in theory nearly limitless; however, in reality he is often subject to the whims of the Council of Great Houses Under the Empeurer. This body is chosen every five years when the Myrorian census is taken, and seats are apportioned to each House according to how many adherents the census has shown them having. The three Houses, or Myrorian families/political units, with the most members are those that are considered Great Houses, and have the most power. Lesser Houses have no seats on the Council, and have no de jure say in politics.

The Council of Great Houses Under the Empeurer has the power to null any law passed by any previous Empeurer, if the members of the Council vote in favor of such a nullification. In addition, the Council can veto any law sent to them by the Empeurer, and has the power to approve or disapprove of a monarch's successor, who he must name at the beginning of every Council session. If a monarch's Great House loses their seat on the council, then it is almost certain that the successor of the current monarch will not belong to the House of the previous one. If the Council approves no successor of the Empeurer by his death, then they have the obligation to choose one themselves.

Local government in Myroria

Myroria is split into four provinces, or Counties: County Ivorheart, County Novrith, County Pelagis, and County Traval. The Counties are each ruled by a Count chosen by the Empeurer, who rules for a life term. However, the Count's power is in practice even more limited than that of the Empeurer, and each County's de facto administrators are a Council of Sers elected by the populace. The Council has the ability to pass laws concerning the County, though any law made by the Council of any County can be overturned by the Myrorian imperial government.

Foreign relations and armed forces

Foreign relations

Since the end of the Great War, Myroria has pursued a policy of non-alignment combined with a security policy advocating strong national defense. Though the Myrorian government is officially a member of no alliances in order to make neutrality possible during international conflict, in reality Myroria is closely affiliated with Eluvatar through the former's Dunedain king, and holds close relations with Inglo-Scotia and Rykkovaa.

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.
