Nyaristios, formerly the Republic of Nyaristios/Aristios, is an archduchy within the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, its de-facto capital is situated in Pompaelo and is known for its culture of cats and its political system of "Nyaoism".

Nyaristios is a Semi-Constitutional Unitary Republic with a 9 member strong "9 Lives Council" serving as both the leadership and legislature. The capital of Nyaristios is Nosteria, although de-facto it is Pompaelo. There are a few other major cities, such as Yaika, Narayako, Otter, and Laikal. Nyaristios is made up of three provinces, Castellum, Astillia, and Ameria. Nyaristios prides itself on its unique culture, and seeks to protect both its own culture, as well as its cities.

Prelude
Prior to the existance of Nyaristios, the region had a turbulent history, switching hands several times; with the nations of Sylvania, the Republic of Aristios (and its variants), as well as the long-gone Imperial Aristios had once held, or held control over the region that we know today. However, what is important was the Aristii Revolution & the formation of the Republic of Aristios, which set the foundation for the current Nyaristios that is present today. During this time before the Second Republic, some of the earlier prominent figures such as Logui113, Ani, Tia and EmperorUnknown first made their steps, and later, Fusionia and a few others.

Late Republic
During the late Republic, Aristios was in a sharp decline as many of its politicians fought amongst themselves, with the gap between the Eastern Governor Azriel of Bel-Ismer and the central government of Aristios. Large portions of the east were constantly at odds with the largely Republican-supporting West. During this period, there were many attempts to restore the crown in Bel-Ismer and several other Eastern provinces within the Republic of Aristios, with it recieving constant pushback from those who led the Aristii Revolution against said crown not long prior. However, despite said push-back, Azriel eventually got what he wanted and became "King" of Bel-Ismer, irregardless, however; a defined split between East and West Aristios showed itself, and this gap would only widen in the coming months. However, despite this, the demographic gap between West and East Aristios heavily favored the West, (ie. Castellum, Astillia, and Ameria), with anti-monarchist Chancellors receiving majorities and having the most amount of positions within the Aristii Government.

Castellum leaves Aristios & Intergration into Sylvania
This, eventually all came to a head in late June as the Republic seemingly began to fall apart on itself, as governor of Castellum at the time, Logui113, announced that Castellum would secede from the Republic of Aristios to join the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, which had previously been a vassal of Aristios. This, ultimately, would be the final deathblow to what remained of the Republic of Aristios, as it gradually fell apart in what provinces remained.

However, the transition into adapting to Sylvanian politics wasnt as rough as ancipated, as Castellum stabilized quickly and was relatively unified under Governor Logui, however, the same couldnt be said for West Aristios (ie. Astillia & Ameria) which remained in the rump Republic of Aristios for a brief time before eventually joining Sylvania aswell, under EmperorUnknown.

During this period, Castellum remained both politically and demographically united, and although the population was in a slow decline, Logui was extremely popular and remained Governor for months, in one of the last elections for Castellum, Logui won the election for Archduke with a 85.7% majority as opposed to Revi's 14.3%. Also around this time, the first growth spurts of both Yaika and Narayako were noticed, two towns which had been created in the mid to late Republican era.

The Governorship of Fusionia & a change in the winds
However, by Logui had begun to grow more and more inactive, and eventually, the newly promoted Fusionia, who now was the Lieutenant-General for Castellum was seen by many as a "potential" successor to Logui, however; for the longest of time, Fusionia refused to usurp Logui. However, with the health of the Archduchy in mind, aswell as the increasing inactvity of Logui, Fusionia eventually announced that he would be restarting the electorial cycle for Castellum briefly, however; nobody else ran in this election, giving Fusionia an automatic win, with him being made Governor of Castellum not long after.

His Governorship, however; wasn't marked by significant change, but it again, laid the foundations for future events to come.

Independent Second Republic
In April 2023, EmperorUnknown began secret talks with Tia, who at the time was mayor of Oxxo, and Fusionia, who had just recently taken the mantle as Governor of Castellum. Emperorunknown talked of a proposal, one to restore the Republic of Aristios, with Castellum & West Aristios being merged to form this new state, and eventually; Fusionia agreed to this, and on eve of a cold day on the, EmperorUnknown, after having talks with Ufxr of Sylvania, announced the restoration of the Republic of Aristios (technically announced by Tia), with it emcompassing the territories of Castellum & West Aristios (which was later divided back into Ameria & Astillia). Emperorunknown did not officially take power within the Republic, and instead gave offical Chancellorship to Tia, while keeping Fusionia as the Governor of Castellum & Minister of Culture.
