Exousía

Exousía is a nation in the region of Serrona, founded by Slimestein Gerrát-Olea and Murdius Kotzal Gerrát-Olea on February 13th, 2022. It is currently a protectorate under Vulperium.

Foundation
Exousía was founded on February 13th, 2022. A few days prior, Slimestein had negotiations with New Domatia for land. They agreed that New Domatia would give the land in turn for Exousía to be a protectorate under New Domatia. Once there was an agreement, Slimestein, Murdius, and Vianney headed many thousands of blocks towards the new land. There, they founded the city of New Sybada and in turn, the nation of Exousía. There, they found an ancient, decrepit temple, and restored it to become the Grand Hall of Exousía.

Yurki Refuge Crisis
Many of the population are refugees coming from the loss at the Battle of Yurki. Many of them were from the Colony of Yurki, a small nation that was attempting to gain independence from Aristios. These new refugees were the foundation of Exousía, and what it is now like today.

Exousían Civil War
On February 24th, 2022, there came a vote for the current leader of Exousía that would end in 24 hours. Between Murdius Kotzal Gerrát-Olea and Slimestein Gerrát-Olea. It seemed equal for the first few hours, then Slimestein pulled ahead although Murdius managed to make it a tie only 3 hours before the end of the vote. However, Slimestein recruited some of his friends into the nation to bring the vote for himself up. Murdius claimed that this was rigging the vote and unfair, however, Slimestein claimed it was a strategy and that there was no rule against it. Slimestein threatened to kick Murdius out of the council. Many of the old Yurkians sided with Murdius, while more of the newer population sided with Slimestein. Soon, Slimestein declared a civil war and attempted to join Atlechia as a protectorate, however, Vulperium was unwilling to trade for the land. With this, many of Slime's supporters left him and joined Murdius, as they wanted their own independent country. Slimestein quickly fled the country.

Aftermath
After the Exousían civil war, there was an unstable government as Slimestein left a huge power hole. The citizens gathered the very next day and had a discussion that decided the new government. The people decided to create a Republican Monarchy with a Senate and a royal family.

Exousían Islands
Exousía currently holds two islands, with one bigger than the other. Exousía has a dry and humid climate perfect for growing cacti. Exousía is in the continent Serrona. The nation borders only border the nation of the Vulperium.

Government
The Exousían head of state is the Krátoras, a permanent member until they resign or overthrow. The Exousían government is made up of two bodies, the High Council and the Senate. The High Council and the Senate make major decisions for the nation; however, the High Council has the power to overrule the Senate if they please. All members of the High Council are permanent members unless it is unanimous between the other members of the High Council and Senate to overthrow them. The Senate is democratically elected by the people. One member of the Senate is the Chancellor, a democratically elected Senate role that is the representative to the High Council. The Ministers of Exousía are in control of each sector, however, you must be in a government role to become a Minister.

Culture
The Culture of Exousía is derived from the culture of Yurki. This is because most of the Yurki citizens fled to Exousía and the founders of Exousía are from Yurki.

Slimesteinein Rebelion
After Slimestein was exiled from Exousía, he started to plot a coup, wanting revenge for what they did to him, hence the Slimesteinein Rebellion began. He was planning to coup the nation, claiming that the government was lazy and the law/order of the nation was corrupt.

He demanded 2K in money, Murdius and the Olea Family to leave the nation and the crown be given to him or getting a town in the top island, becoming the mayor of that said town and having a private army. Slimestein claimed to have 25 people with him, which was a lie, only having a fifth of the people he said he had. He attempted to get help and aid from many places like from the of town Florere in Novastonia, Novabrok, and many others.

However, due to Slimestein's disrespect towards his allies and many of them finding out what he did before, many of them asked to join Exousía against Slimestein. Exousía was able get many allies as well as they were protected by Vulperium, and had Novabrok and Florere join them. On April 3rd, Slimestein and some of his men founded Port Slimestein near the coast of New Sybada. Slimestein and his friends then came and held a citizen (ChuenTheCat) hostage for the time being. Luckily, a senator nearby was able to help ChuenTheCat escape and pretend to be on Slimestein's side. Afterwards, many of Slimestein's army decided to join Exousía after they found out the truth and due to Slimestein's bad manners. Everyone with him fled and even his son left him, later Slimestein would remove Port Slimestein and left.
