Veskalíde

The Grand Triumvirate of Veskalíde is a nation in the southern reaches of Eldham, mainly resting on the continents of Arsine & Serrona, however it has some small enclaves in Katsura and Elastra. The country borders the nations of Einberg, Valreach, Waywood, Eros, Sylvania, and Ashai. Veskalíde was created when the nations of Exousía, New Domatia, and Neo-Bai all decided to merge because of their cultural roots going back to the Bai Federation. Formed formally in (December 31), the nations chose the name "Veskalíde", meaning "Land of the Exiles", in a mix of the Eschani and Exousían languages.

Pre-history
Leading back to the time of the Bai Federation, it had been a prosperous country but had been slowly declining until the Bai Exodus, in which the federation chose to dissolve and many of the citizens fled to other lands to find new homes. From it's dissolution came Condull and New Domatia. Condull chose to join the Hegemony of Montrium, under the AWE's protection. New Domatia would flourish, however not long after came the Clockists who would rebel against Domatia.

After the Yurkian Battle, which ended in disaster, some of the survivors from Yurki fled to Eldham and found the place of Domatia. Domatia gave these people land and the refugees formed the nation of Exousía. Formed in 123 TE, Domatia and Exousía were always culturally and historically close. The two had always been sister nations with each other, even after New Domatia had joined the Vulperium.

During the Montrium Civil War, some of the former citizens from the Bai Federation that had lived in Condull decided to become independent. Although disputed at first, the Kingdom of Montrium won the civil war and let Condull become independent. As many of the citizens were from the Bai Federation, they had called their new nation Neo-Bai. All three nations of Exousía, Neo-Bai, and New Domatia were able to trace their roots to the Bai Federation and being geographically close ensured that each nation had great relations with each other. Soon afterwards, Neo-Bai had merged with New Domatia to form Rang'Urdii, a new duchy of the Vulperium. Even while in the Vulperium, Exousía and Rang'Urdii always had great ties with each other.

Rang'Urdiian-Exousían merger
Close to the end of December and nearing the second century of the Travelers Era, the Vulperium was rocked with strife as there had been rumors of a coup. The Grand Valar of the Vulperium had resigned and there was chaos. This change alarmed the baron of Rang'Urdii, Puddles, and he decided to push for independence from Vulperium. Along the same time, many citizens and government officials in Exousía and Rang'Urdii had both talked about a merge between the two and how it would be beneficial. Eventually, the leader of Exousía, Vyani, had contacted Puddles to discuss this merge. Both Puddles and Vyani had agreed that a merge between the two would be extremely good for both.

The two arranged a meeting between both governments to decide on the details and terms of this new merge. They had decided to divide this new nation into their former territories as provinces, Exousía, Neo-Bai, and New Domatia. Each province would have a triarch and would rotate between each one as the Head Triarch every month, or every seven years in TE. They merged both councils together to create a Grand Council and chose the name Veskalíde.

Triarchs
There are three triarchs from each core state of the nation. Exousía, Neo-Bai, and New Domatia, These triarchs rotate every month for the Head Triarch. How the Triarchs are chosen are up to the provincial states. The Triarchs have the power to vote one another Triarch out and ask that state for a successor. These Triarchs are responsible for balancing power throughout the government and keeping the nation stable.

Grand Council
The Grand Council is made up of the councils of each state. 6 per region with a max of 18. The Grand Council makes major decisions for the nation and is important for generating ideas to keep the nation stable and growing. As there are a large number of people on the Grand Council, the triarchs must do their best to keep the Grand Council in check.

Senate
The Senate is another body of the Veskalii Government, with members of the Senate being democratically elected. The Senate is responsible for making decisions to aid the nation in ways to help it grow. Laws, ideas, bills, are all submitted to the Senate for the senators to discuss and vote on. Each Senator has a one-month term before the next senate elections.

States
Veskalíde is made up of 3 states, Exousía, Domatia, and Neo-Bai. They still hold their own land from pre-merge. On the map, Red signifies Exousía, Green signifies Neo-Bai, and Purple signifies Domatia. The country spans many continents, however it's mainland is on Serrona and Arsine, with islands and territories in Katsura and Elastra. Veskalíde has a diverse climate and geography, with a long mountain range in Bai, having rough terrain and frigid weather. Exousía is composed of a large desert in Serrona and a wet jungle in the north. Domatia consits of long plains and savanna, with terracotta mountains and valleys in the south.

Baivos
The island(s) of Baivos is a jointly owned territory between the Grand Triumvirate of Veskalíde and the Commonwealth of Falholt. Originally owned by the Bai Federation, after it's dissolution, New Domatia owned the island and had sold it off to Falholt in exchange for some money and aid against the Clockist rebellion. Long after it had been sold, the Neo-Bai came up from Condull and they offered to help populate and transform the island in exchange for joint ownership, The Commonwealth of Falholt agreed, and it is recognized as a special territory within Veskalíde.

National Territory
On the map, the Blue territory signifies National Territory that is held by the Triumvirate. The capital of Veskalíde, Veskaron, is national territory as the government didn't want to be biased in their decision for the national capital. The city of Veskaron is inside an ocean momuent, and holds (soon to be) many government buildings within it.
