Erinia

The Aristocratic Republic of Erinia, commonly referred to as just Erinia, is a nation located in the South West of Eldham. Erinia is a vassal of GoonGuard, following the empire's lead in military and diplomatic matters, while having almost complete freedom in it's internal workings.

Located in the northern part of mainland Goonguard and bordering the AWE, it has developed an unique mercantile and seafaring culture. It's position right next to the empires biggest neighbour has been very lucrative throughout its history, serving as a transit hub for trade. However, in times of increased tensions between the two empires many Erinian citizens have feared that their nation be turned into a battleground, but thankfully that day has never come.

Government
Serving as head of both state and government is the Stadholder, currently this position is held by Maur0bi. Elected by the Grand Council for life, the Stadtholder is responsible for the day to day running of the nation, precedes over the Grand Council and represents the nation within the court of the emperors. One of his more ceremonial duties is to up hold the legacy of the nations founders, IKHpKalle and InZan, and to ensure that their vision of a peaceful and prosperous nation may never die.

The Grand Council of Erinia serves as the nations main political body, the beating heart of Erinian politics. The councils members are determined through a complex mix of appointment through the Stadtholder, democratic election and through membership in the influential guilds, though having attained the rank of patrician is always necessary for a seat on the council. Members of the Grand Council all belong to one of the sub-councils that execute the decisions made by the council as a whole.

History
Erinia was first founded 16th of July by Kalle and InZan, and joined on the 21st of the same month Tierre (the later Solsgaard) as an Autonomous Economic Zone. On the 16th of August constructed started on a small but fortified castle on an island off the mainland

The city was abandoned sometime before June 2023

Notable Buildings
By the 3rd of June 2023 much of the city has been looted. It seems that the majority of the buildings had not been occupied before hand. To the North-West of the town is what seems like a temple where its interior has collapsed with a sign outside saying "Entrance forbidden by the orders of the stadtholder" which shows that it was closed off before it was abandoned. Inside is blood, and a sign saying "Grand Elders quarters". Was it their blood or someone else's?. Also in the north beyond the walls is a large pumpkin which looks like a place for the stadtholder to watch fights.

In the centre of the town is a plethora of markets and behind them is presumably the town hall however it seems that the interior was left unfinished. Adjacent to this is a library however all books are missing. Both of these are the tallest buildings within the city walls. To the right of this is a large storage building To the south is a building that is either an unfinished bank or temple. There is a damaged bridge which leads to the Castle. It is a small. excellently built however is mostly unfurnished bar from a depleted storage room and a cask room. To the east there is farmland with a windmill
