Sapphire Commonwealth

The Sapphire Commonwealth is a commonwealth founded by northern-Rathnir nations such as the Simulami Empire, the Emirate of Najer, and the Second Empire of Plagatéa.

It is a political and economical union currently consisting of three major nations and several minor ones or vassals/protectorates. It was formed on the 28th of September 2021 due to the close ties of the three founding nations and a dream of a new unified northern state that would be recognized and operate in the world stage.

It is primarily located in Rathnir, specifically in north-east Nieden and Plagos, while also present in Colonial forms at south-west and north-east Eldham. It is currently a Monarchical Confederation with a unified upper government and is seen as a true successor of the Sterling Crownlands.

History
After the relinquishing of northern dominance and dissolution of the Sterling Crownlands in early April of 2021, the dream of a unified north under the Silver Dream came to an end. Many sovereign states rose and fell, with only one achieving true independence and success, the last child of Silver: the Emirate of Najer. The Najer took the relics of the north and preserved them in the desert sea of sands.

Over half a year passed, and powerful nations continued to rise from the ashes of others. Although the Najer longed to restore their legacy and reunite the Crownlands once again, chaos, instability, and the efforts of world powers prevented that dream from becoming a reality. Others continued to rise in the north. South of the Emirate, a new monarchic nation in Nieden, the Simulami Empire, rose, standing its ground against the Aesperium Niedea. The Empire of Plagatéa fell and in its place formed the Second Empire of Plagatéa.

Ideas began to emerge between Simulami and Najer, due to their friendship and alliance after the Treaty of Kijaro, the brotherhood between Plagatéa and Simulami, and the recent forming of powerful alliances in the south. Due to the nation's similarities, related systems, and ideas, the three of them found themselves in weeks-long talks, bringing forth the idea of a new unified north, with a collective military, high government, and shared economy, but with space for each nation to develop their own regions. Thus, the Sapphire Commonwealth was born.
