Before Latria
Before Latria, was a nation. The VVR, also referred to as Verenigde Vrijmasten Raden, was a peaceful nation, but in secret, rebellions were growing..

Hovar Atreiyen, Anna Ifirit Ædalwölf-Varen and Dextrixion van Goudklomp-Guryon, along with the future Queen of Latria and Dextrixion's son, Fate, were plotting a coup against the VVR. After the city-state of Zef declared independence, the Third Kingdom of Gardenia followed suit. However due to a lot of miscommunication, lack of cooperation and no preparation, the cities of Zandengracht, Leiril, Samife and Astrantia all left Gardenia to create Latria.

Early History
In the early days of Latria, the government tried to communicate with VVR and their overlord of Olea, and it worked. Stable relations and good diplomatic talks were established with overlord of the VVR, SiameesHessel, as the Latrian Government started building up the cities they had, joining Olea as a vassal.

However, soon after, Dextrixion left Latria with his city, for Altryae and Valreshiya, who already owned Hyana'dhu after it's reintegration. But that wasnt the only city leaving..

Pactria Rebellion
One of Latria's core cities, Astrantia, was couped by forces who lated proclaimed it as Pactria, as the VVR, Olea and Latria declared war and tried to invade. The battles were minimal, only two happening. As the VVR tried to use Amstelhoek to invade Astrantia, but found themselves to be the defenders, as Pactrian forces won 10-0. The second battle was a second attempt, Amstelhoek taking the battle to Astrantia now, however this was in vain, as Pactria secured it's survival.

The peace deal was a blow to the VVR, having to give up Amstelopolis to Alirayae, an independent nation in the region lead by Anna's Retinue.

Return of Dextrixion
In the midst of the war, a surprise struck the Latrian People, as Dextrixion betrayed Valreshiya and joined back into Latria, becoming once more a founding father of the nation, and government member.

People celebrated his return, as it meant that 1/2 old cities had now returned to the nation, but warring Pactria was in vain by now. After the war, Latria needed money and as such sold a region to a new nation called Tyranthia

Peace in our time.
After the rebellion of Pactria, Latria decided to finally continue their work on their cities, notably Leiril and Samife, which saw significant repairs after the bloodshed during all the wars there. Latria used their remaining resources of the war, after having spent most of it, however soon regained them after weeks and months of hard work.

Latria also continued to establish peaceful relations with outside nations in and outside of the region. Some of these attempts worked, some didnt, but it did secure them stable and good relations.

However, tragedy struck the nation. Dextrixion died in his city of Zandengracht. Much grieving happened during this time, notably by his family, who buried him in the sands around his town, as his wife, Rose I Lætr'yosa took over the city and lead it, becoming a government member. Latria continued to be stable, their members all working on their own cities and living in peace, amongst a broken and war-torn region..

Selling of Samife
After the region became more stable, The Queen, Second in Command and Third in Command all made a collective decision to sell Samife to Ariefell, after not being able to hold onto it.

It was certainly a tough decision, however not a primarily huge one, as the capital was moved to the west, to Zandengracht.

Land
Overtime, due to the wars and conflict Latria has gone through in it's short existance, it has had many territories taken away, or integrated ever since it's founding. Maps will show what Latria has looked like overtime.

Races
The pre-dominant race in Latria is the Elvish-Lowlander, as they had owned the cities for months, even under the province of the Elvische Staten in the VVR, most of Latria's population is an Elvish-Lowlander, and they had done a lot for the region as a whole, however other smaller races like the Lemurfolk could also be found as nomads in the country.

Style and Clothing
Stemming off from the Elvish-Lowlanders, the people of Latria tend to wear heavy and thick clothing. However if not, for reasons such as going to an event by example, they'll wear stylish clothing like suits and dresses to fit the theme and to look good. Clothing colors will usually consist of Red, Orange, White, Green and Gold, while often times also having Pink and Blue in there.

The Flag consists of 3 colors and one emblem. Pink, White and Purple, with a flamingo and a crown on in. Pink stands for the Peace among the nation, the White standing for the unwillingness to surrender and the Purple standing for uniqueness. The Flamingo refers to most of the nation being connected to the sea, and the crown stands for the monarchy

Food
The food in the nation and region stems of from the VVR, with Zandengracht keeping the Zandengracht Gouda Cheeses. Other cities also have foods associated with them, with Samife having the Samifan Pancakes. However, the nation has it's own national food, being the Latrian Bangers and Mash.

Language
While the nation's language is a mix of Duytchen, Flouran and Tovon-Dor, it does have it's very own handwritten alphabet and language as a whole, called Lært’yiánen, and will often times also have exclusive letters and words. Alphabet can be seen here. (excuse my poor poor handwriting)
