Federal Empire of Poedogia

The Valardom of Poeistan is a small imperial island federation on Eldham located in the southern Diana Sea. It is originally founded by Emperor Caboosifer in Old Poeville, which for territorial reasons they were forced to abandon and start New Poeville, which is now simply called Poeville. Poeistan (known at the time as Poedogia) at one point became a state of the Federation of Kłosevia, until it seceded, causing the quick dissolution of the federation. When Magnus II de Westreach (son of Magnus I) became the 3rd Emperor of Poedogia, he reorganized the nation and made it a Valardom, officially crowning him as the first Valar of Poeistan.

Prehistory
It is very unknown where the origins of the Poeist religion began, but according to Caboosifer, he claims to have restored the religion through revelation from Poe, upon talking to him while in the mines of former Old Poeville, which is nowadays part of Robéleduk.

Early history
Upon hearing the truths of Poeism from the great Poe Dog, Caboosifer then informed more people about this religion, this included Magnus I--a lone vulpur who is living as an independent nearby at the time aswell as ElkElan-another good friend of Caboosifer, they together would form an unofficial family called the Poeland Dynasty, of them would rule the new Poeistann state. Poeistan iss founded in what is now part of Samoran Ethia. This settlement is called "Old Poeville" & began to build up until the burning of their forest nearby with threatening signs saying to leave. Upon these threats they decided to investigate, so Magnus I went out going to nearby nations to ask about the land claims. Upon talking to a nearby official, they were directed to Samora. So, Magnus I traveled to Samora City & talked to their leader Trile, who told them they were illegally squatting in Samoran territory. Upon this the Poeistanns agreed to leave & found a New Poeville, which they decided to start in the Diana Sea as not many people had settled there, this was the beginning of a new age for Poeistan.

New beginnings
Now settling in the middle of the Diana Sea near Eleanor they began building a city above the water called New Poeville. The city soon began expanding rapidly & by now they had decent mines, infrastructure, & agriculture. Something they needed though was a country to do diplomacy with so Magnus I who had already gotten to know Samora fairly well decided to make some kind of deal with them. So Caboosifer & Magnus I had a meeting with Trile to discuss possibilities. Upon agreement, Poeistan decided to become a protectorate of Samora; it was around this time that Magnus I decided he would write a new Poeistann constitution as the Articles of Poeistann Independence that was being used at the time was too vague & wasn't structured enough. The constitution was then approved by Caboosifer & was then legally put into place. New members began to join Poeistan around this time including Lightning, who founded his own nation called the Troglodytic Empire, which was then incorporated into Poeistan as the state of Troglodytia.

The Troglodyte Insurrection
Magnus I was walking in New Poeville, when suddenly Lightning coming from the north shoots Magnus I with his bow, nearly killing him. This was seen as an attempted assassination by Caboosifer, who decided that this was an act of rebellion of Troglodytia, of whom Poeistan would then declare war on. It didn't last long but eventually the Troglodytes were defeated & Troglodytia became part of New Poeville legally. This also led to the execution of Lightning by the government.

Diplomacy
ElkElan founded Tileville which eventually would grow to become the first proper looking island in Poeistan. New Poeville soon saw rapid growth due to the various projects which aimed to improve New Poevill into a more proper city. During these projects, Acral--the leader of the United Isles of Ægir--visited New Poevill, seeking to form an alliance with Poeistan which Magnus I agreed to & Caboosifer approved. They formed a mutual defense pact together & called their union the Diana Sea Treaty Organization. This union however wouldn't last long as the nation Laurenland was threatening annexation of both of their nations. These tensions would soon cool down after State Emprior Magnus I contacted Fredrich I--the Imperor of Laurenia. Magnus I & Fredrich soon came to terms & decided that it would be better if they all united into one great nation. Soon talks began between the leaders of the 3 nations & it soon was decided that they'd all join together to become the Federation of Kłosevia. All 3 nations were now the 3 founding states of the new nation, each having equal power & representation in different areas of government.

Development
Poeistan, now active once again began to experience rapid growth from new citizens & ideas. One huge thing that happened was Magnus I's great project got an overhaul, & with the help of Deep & Caboosifer; they decided to merge the Poeistann cities of New Poeville, Tileville, Mycelia, Bridgington, & Troglodytia into one big city just called Poeville. This project also aimed to create new, better-looking islands for development, aswell as a new capitol building--and many more buildings. This project greatly has expanded Poeistan, & will continue to expand Poeistan to greater heights!

Geography
Poeistan consists of a couple towns located in the Diana Sea.

The capital city, Poeville consists of various "subregions" that each have their own lands & style of architecture. Greater Poeville is the largest of the Poeville subregions & is the largest of them all. It was founded as former city New Poeville by Caboosifer & is now currently governed by Magnus I. Greater Poeville is built up of mainly roads of stone bricks & oak--although soon they plan to improve this by changing the oak to a deepslate gradient. It contains many buildings & farms with varying styles. Bridgington is the least developed of the subregions & is built around Lightning's bridge going from Troglodytia to Greater Poeville. Currently dirt is being added to the water to give it flat terrain for buildings & stores. Saint Caboosifer's Cathedral is planned to be built here. Soon it will be merged into Troglodytia. Troglodytia is the smallest of the Poeville subregions, located next to Bridgington. It was founded by Lightning & is located almost entirely underground. As of recently Troglodytia has been generally inactive but there have been plans to revive it again with connecting it to Bridgington--the other generally inactive state. Tileville was founded by ElkElan & is entirely an artificial island made of dirt & grass. It is now governed by Deep III, who plans to make it have many floating islands & to give it a beautiful Japanese-inspired style to it.

Government
The Valardom of Poeistan is a theocratic imperial federation of states under the Poeistann Constitution written by Magnus I and approved by Caboosifer. The structure of the government is made up by three main branches called powers, the executive powers, legislative powers and the judicial powers. These powers are held by different groups that overlap in some areas.

Emperor
The first group in their government is the emperor; the emperor acted as the central head of state aswell as the prophet of Poe. The emperor's powers were mainly executive but would also be legislative, albeit only from the support of the Directorate of Empriors.

Directorate of Empriors
Another group that held powers is the Directorate of Empriors. The Directorate is made up of three empriors meaning prior in power to the emperor—as in the Poeistann language the word prior literally translates to lower. Each emprior in the directorate would have their own position, there would be an Emprior of State, Emprior of Treasury and Emprior of War; this gives them executive powers. The directorate had the power to make and pass laws giving them legislative powers and is also required to serve as the national court judges giving them judicial powers.

House of Officials
The final group in the government holding power is the House of Officials, this group is made up of representatives elected by the people of Poeistan--though since they had a low population it is always just made up of the city mayors, they held legislative and partial judicial powers.
