Solisios

Solisios (Solisis/Solisīos) is a small desert nation on the continent of Ummarnu in Rathnir. It borders Ardat-Azæl, Zefrania, and the Kingdom of Councils. It is the religious capital of Lux.

Founding
The nation of Solisios was founded in the city of Luxios on 04.04.21 by Beast_Killertje, the former Shah. It was founded as a religious state.

The city of Luxios was founded in the territoy of former Ardat-Mosul. The nation has since gained this territory from Ardat.

After Luxios, the holy temple of Luxantia was built as the religious capital of Lux by the High Priestess EcksSteal. Luxantia also remains in Ardat territory. However, this was accompanied by a deal made with Ardat that states that Solisios can have the land be in their posession, but they cannot expand further than the confines of the Luxantine temple.

The Shah and High Priestess loosely defined the government structure as a constitutional monarchy, which has an official constitution, though, this wasn't the case for a long time, causing a lot of distruption and chaos in the nation.

The Solisian Purchase
On 08.04.21, The territory of Solisios was bought from the Sewer Mafia in a deal for $150k after negotiations by the Shah. The current official borders are the contents of the purchase.

Solisian Flag
The flag of Solisios has a short history, beginning with a black orange and yellow flag designed by EcksSteal, and the current flag designed by GilTheTIred.

The Golden Age of Luxios
At some point, due to extensive development and renovation, Luxios began its growth as a city. This slowly picked up speed and Luxios began to grow faster and faster until it became the largest (population-wise) city of the continent of Ummarnu. After a while the inhabitants of Luxios began construction of larger, more ornate monuments of public use - mainly, the University of Luxios, which currently houses the Library of Solisios, its archives and a printing press. With the completion of the University, the Solisian council, the Sece Pemuwe, decided to implement The First Constitution of Solisios.

In addition to the growth of Luxios, early on in its development, the King of Lennox came upon the city and the city's temple. This, and the hospitality of the citizens made the King realise that it is his and Lennox's destiny to adopt Lux as their faith.

All of these effects have pushed Luxios into its golden age, which began the nation's climb to significance.
