Sapphire Commonwealth

The Sapphire Commonwealth is a commonwealth founded by northern-Rathnir nations such as the Simulami Empire, the Emirate of Najer, and the Second Empire of Plagatéa. It is a political and economical union consisting of (currently) three major nations and several minor ones or vassals/protectorates. Formed at the 28th of September 2021 due to the close ties of the founder three nation and a dream of a unified northern state recognised and operating in world stage.

It is primarily located in Rathnir and further in north-east Nieden and Plagos, while also present in Colonial forms at south-west and north-east Eldham. It is currently a Monarchical Confederation with a unified upper-government and is seen as a true successor of the Sterling Crownlands.

History
After the relinquishment of the north and the disolvement of the Sterling Crownlands back in Early April 2021 the dream of a unified North under the Silver Dream came to an end. Many sovereign and independent states rose and fall, only one achieved a truly independent and still existing form on its own, the last child of Silver: The Emirate of Najer. Their Emir took the remaining relics of the North and hid it far deep under the sea of deserts.

Half a year has passed and powerful nations rose from the ashes of others, Generally seeing westwards, as the frontier border state, Najer seen no future on reuniting the Crownlands once more. There were others that rose too though, south of the deserts a new monarchic nation called Simulami, a new nation in Nieden standing ground by itself by huge giants, and a Plagos i empire, Plagatéa, ideas were sprung among Simulami and Najer, and due to their long lasting friendship and alliance after the Kijaro Treaty, plus Simulami's brotherhood with the people of Plagatea, and the recent forming of powerful alliances southwards they found similarities, likelihoods, related systems and ideas.

So as the three great nations found themselves in week-long talks, thus the idea of a new unified North, under a unified Military, higher government, but giving space to each other in developing their own regions, countries. Defending each other, establishing swifter and smoother trade, sharing culture and faith. The Sapphire Commonwealth was born.
