Queendom of Latria

Koregige or Dogágige Dela Latria, often abbreviated as just Latria, was a nation in Central-Eldham, and it was filled with a history of former nations which all had their influence over the region, from the VVR, to Gardenia, Latria stands as their middle-point, a peaceful barrier filled with races, cultures and languages.

However, the nation left Central-Eldham, and now resides in seas inbetween Astios and Katsura, settling on self-made platforms, which are to be turned into islands. The name of Latria names stand for Kingdom (Koregige) of Latria or Queendom (Dogágige) of Latria, depending on who is in charge.

However the Queendom changed into a Union (Sánio Dela Latria) on the 7th of January, 2023, starting a new age for Latria.

Before Latria
Before Latria, was a nation. The VVR, also referred to as Verenigde Vrijmasten Raden, was a peaceful nation, but in secret, rebellions were growing..

Hovar Atreiyen, Anna Ifirit Ædalwölf-Varen and Dextrixion van Goudklomp-Guryon, along with the future Queen of Latria and Dextrixion's son, Fate, were plotting a coup against the VVR. After the city-state of Zef declared independence, the Duytchen Kingdom of New-Gardenia followed suit. However due to a lot of miscommunication, lack of cooperation and no preparation, the cities of Zandengracht, Leiril, Samife and Astrantia all left the Gardenian state to create Latria.

Early History
In the early days of Latria, the government tried to communicate with VVR and their overlord of Olea, and it worked. Stable relations and good diplomatic talks were established with overlord of the VVR, SiameesHessel, as the Latrian Government started building up the cities they had, joining Olea as a vassal.

However, soon after, Dextrixion left Latria with his city, for Altryae and Valreshiya, who already owned Hyana'dhu after it's reintegration. But that wasnt the only city leaving..

Pactria Rebellion
One of Latria's core cities, Astrantia, was couped by forces who lated proclaimed it as Pactria, as the VVR, Olea and Latria declared war and tried to invade. The battles were minimal, only two happening. As the VVR tried to use Amstelhoek to invade Astrantia, but found themselves to be the defenders, as Pactrian forces won 10-0. The second battle was a second attempt, Amstelhoek taking the battle to Astrantia now, however this was in vain, as Pactria secured it's survival.

The peace deal was a blow to the VVR, having to give up Amstelopolis to Alirayae, an independent nation in the region lead by Anna's Retinue.

Return of Dextrixion
In the midst of the war, a surprise struck the Latrian People, as Dextrixion betrayed Valreshiya and joined back into Latria, becoming once more a founding father of the nation, and government member.

People celebrated his return, as it meant that 1/2 old cities had now returned to the nation, but warring Pactria was in vain by now. After the war, Latria needed money and as such sold a region to a new nation called Tyranthia

Peace in our time.
After the rebellion of Pactria, Latria decided to finally continue their work on their cities, notably Leiril and Samife, which saw significant repairs after the bloodshed during all the wars there. Latria used their remaining resources of the war, after having spent most of it, however soon regained them after weeks and months of hard work.

Latria also continued to establish peaceful relations with outside nations in and outside of the region. Some of these attempts worked, some didnt, but it did secure them stable and good relations.

However, tragedy struck the nation. Dextrixion died in his city of Zandengracht. Much grieving happened during this time, notably by his family, who buried him in the sands around his town, as his wife, Rose I Lætr'yosa took over the city and lead it, becoming a government member. Latria continued to be stable, their members all working on their own cities and living in peace, amongst a broken and war-torn region..

The Voluntary Exile
After the region became more stable, The Queen, Second in Command and Third in Command all made a collective decision to sell Samife to Ariefell, after not being able to hold onto it. After having sold their former Capital, they decided to sell the other cities aswell, as they had already found a new place to settle in. Leiril was soon sold to Ambierzhan, a new-found nation, and Zandengracht was sold to a company.

Latria became rich due to this, and was able to peacefully settle, and create their new towns of Igazatigheid, which was their new capital, and Lertimantsze.

Start of the Democracy
One fateful day in Latria, the entire nation got word from the news, that their Queen, Olivia I Lætr'yosa had passed away. The ones in charge were now Rose I Lætr'yosa and Fate I Lætr'yosa.

They realized that the Queen had no heir, and neither of them were fit to rule the Queendom, and the other daughter of Rose was too young and unfit to rule either. Due to this, they made the collective decision to change the nation into a democracy, where every 4 months a new leader would be elected by the people, from the newly-established Parliament.

The people also had a choice, if they wished a vote could be done on electing a monarch, who would have slightly less power than the President, and mostly be a figurehead. With all of these changes came the last change, Latria couldnt remain with the title of Queendom, as such they opted for Union, and just like that, the Union of Latria was officially established. The first president stood up, a member of parliament called Aria Szerlieme, and she decided to take on the role of the first President of Latria.

Races
The pre-dominant race in Latria is the Elvish-Lowlander, as they had owned the cities for months, even under the province of the Elvische Staten in the VVR, most of Latria's population is an Elvish-Lowlander, and they had done a lot for the region as a whole, however other smaller races like the Lemurfolk could also be found as nomads in the country, along with a new race of animals called the Charnösvere.

However the latter have not been seen since Latria's moving to their new towns in the seas between Katsura and Astios.

Military
The Latrian Military as a whole has three branches.

These three branches are the Royal Navy (i Lært’yiánen Koirinályik Z'háemerácht), Airforce (i Lært’yiánen Luvighö-Márechö) and Royal Infantry of Latria (i Koirinályik I’ántro 'o Lært’yia). Uniforms for the Navy, Airforce and Infantry are still in the making.

The Royal Navy
The Navy was established right before moving to their new islands, working as a force to sail around the New Latrian Islands once in a while. The Navy also has it's very own flag, consisting of a Dark Purple and Pink Cross, with a Dark Purple Crown in the middle, The Latrian Flag in the top left and words displayed on the top right, saying Koirinályik Z'háemerácht, which means Royal Navy.

The Airforce
The Airforce, also referred to as Luvighö-Márechö was established during Latria's beginning, and was only used twice. Once during the war with Pactria, and the other to move supplies from Central-Eldham.

The Airforce does not as of current have an official logo, and not much is known as Latria keeps a lot of the information about the military a secret.

Royal Infantry
The Royal Infantry, also known as i Koirinályik I’ántro in Latria, is the Royal Military that protects Latria, alongside the Navy and Airforce. They've fought alongside the VVR and Olea in the Pactria War, and have helped stabilize the nation in times of need. The Royal Infantry does not have it's own logo yet.

Style and Clothing
The Old Clothing styles and colors stemmed off from the Elvish-Lowlanders, wearing heavy and warm clothing, with the colors of the clothing usually being darker, like Orange, Red, and Black clothing.

However after resettling, the styles slowly changed. The common clothing of Latria would change to fit their warmer climate, wearing light clothing with lighter colors, such as White, Grey and Gold to fit the temperature, however Red clothing is still present, as seen on the dress of the Queen.

Language
While the nation's language is a mix of Duytchen, Flouran and Tovon-Dor, it does have it's very own handwritten alphabet and language as a whole, called Lært’yiánen, and will often times also have exclusive letters and words. Alphabet can be seen here. (excuse my poor poor handwriting)
