Culture
Besides those who identify as Visian, Visio hosts several unique cultural groups from the Duchy of Soliana to the Barony of Lunamia. These groups may be endemic, having originated within the nation's modern borders, or immigrant, having come from abroad.

Religion
The Kingdom of Visio is itself a religious state, adhering to Solonist Doctrine as a guiding force. However, several popular religions are recognized, and are granted a Representative to lead that faith in the Kingdom. These representatives allow the government to monitor foreign faiths, and still uphold the Right to Religious Freedom among it's citizens. A new Representative can be assigned to a Faith at anytime, provided there is proper cause.

Ancient Origins
The roots of Visio date to the first nation which occupied the land, the ancient Visio Aeternae. There is little recorded history of this nation, besides the witnesses of the nations Ravenguard and Skjoldrboridr.

Imperila Andliria
Eventually, after weeks of wearisome banditry and endemic inactivity, Visio Aeternae was dissolved when Andlirian refugees led by Jalhike Rokalim declared the Second Andlirian Empire on June 31st. The nation expanded slightly until the Treaty of Fallen Powers was signed with the Republic of Amarillo, which reclaimed the majority of the First Empire’s territory and doubled the Second’s. Within a few weeks Jalhike Rokalim himself led an expedition to refound the Capital of Andliria, Romantello, and thus began a golden era of growth.

Romantello became a compact yet bustling city, and the Empire thrived. A constitution was written, and a senate established; beautiful houses were built, and businesses opened. But on September 15th disaster stuck, as Romantello’s claim was temporarily deleted and the city ransacked. Many citizens left the Empire as destitute refugees, which worsened the situation, and the event ultimately left every town and city thereon underpopulated.

Then a major settlement named Lafros, larger in population than the entire Empire, squatted on Andlirian soil, and the fear of being ousted stalled action. Several weeks later they were subdued with aid from the League of Vircon, but it left in its wake a further weakened state. Finally, when the Imperilan Jalhike Rokalim began pushing away and sacking his chief advisors, the Andlirian nobles successfully demanded he step down. In his place he appointed Erikku Kunekari to lead, but not before beginning an attempt at his own secession as the Guni of Akora.

Diplomacy
The Kingdom of Visio and it's predecessors, Visio Aeternae and Andliria, have maintained throughout their existence a neutral, but not isolationist foreign policy. They collectively have involved themselves in several conflicts, and formed an array of alliances and agreements.

The Phoenix Crisis
Though its diplomatic involvement was restricted, Imperila Andliria attempted to deescalate the Crisis and eventually plotted with Lutum and the Zamotz Union to restore Lutumite independence by partitioning Phoenia. Andliria's efforts were in vain however, as with Ashtrokan-Wandenreich support Lutum reclaimed it's independence, and the vast majority of South Phoenia seceded to merge with the Zamotz Union.

Skjoldrbrodir–Zamotz War
Originally Andliria condemned the conflict and announced neutrality, but due to a lasting enmity with Zamotz from the Phoenix Crisis, the Imperilan (Emperor) was pressured by the Andlirian nobility to support Skjoldrbrodir. At this point though Andliria had stagnated dramatically, and was barely capable of providing any military support.

The Merconian Crisis
Lafros, due to miscommunications with their leader, DireWolf, became a squatter nation of Andlirian soil, and plotted an invasion of the Republic of Merconis to gain national legitimacy. However, after Lafros' intentions had been announced, Merconis joined the League of Vircon, and with their support, Lafros was forcibly integrated into Andliria.
