Veskalíde

Veskalíde is a nation in the southern reaches of Eldham, in the continents of Arsine and Serrona. It 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. It was formed formally on December 31st, 2022, or 206 TE. The name Veskalíde means Land of the Exiles, in a mix of the Eschani and Exousían languages.

Post-Bai History
Since February of 2022, or 126 TE, Exousía had been formed as a vassal of one of the remains from the Bai Federation, New Domatia. Culturally and historically close, they had always been sister nations with each other, even after New Domatia had joined the Vulperium.

A few months later came the Neo-Bai, remnants of the citizens from the former Bai Federation. All three of them being 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.

The Merge
Close to the end of December and nearing the 2nd 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, Vianney, had contacted Puddles to discuss this merge. Both Puddles and Vianney 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 7 years in Traveler's Era. They merged both councils together to create a Grand Council and chose the name Veskalíde, meaning Land of the Exiles.

The Triarchs
There are 3 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.

The 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.

The Senate
The Senate is another body of the Veskalídii 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.
