Soleannan Imperium

The Soleannan Imperium was founded on the 6th of March 2022. The Soleannan Imperium is a Theocractic nation on Nieden, in Rathnir. It has 3 main Senata's (Regions) governed by an Irastli Emaister (Imperial Magister). Namely Azeren, Alterei, and Asterien. The Soleannan Imperium has 2 Irasteli Aros (Imperial holdings) which they continue to protect until this day. The capital of the Imperium is currently Lileanen, which, itself is in an Imperial holding.

Etymology
Contemporary historians use the term "Soleannan Imperium" when referring to the reformed empire comprising of the former nations of the Aesperium Niedea, Fourth Empire of Escharia, and the Holy Cities. The term is hypothesized to have come from the Soleannan Empire from the antiquity of Rathnir, and the term "Imperium" denoting that this new nation would hold absolute power over the region. This name is postulated to have been decided upon, due to propaganda being pushed by the Imperium that this reunification of the separated nations is a good thing, and a return to the prosperity and success of the original empire that all three parties making up the Soleannan Imperium preceded from. The term "Imperium" and its basis for existence has two leading conjectures due to a current lack of information. The first and most widely believed reason for this, is that this newly formed Imperium wishes to rule over the region properly once more without resistance from both internal and external threats to the ruling powers. Between the two theories, this one is more widespread in the political landscape due to the nature of what this could imply. The second theory, is that the now united Soleannan Imperium wishes to stay together and not balkanize and dissolve into obscurity. This theory is more accepted among currently serving, and former members of military, academicians, and the general public within the borders of the nation, and allied parties as well. Both of these hypotheses have equal basis in history and current day politics. However it should be noted that these are only theories, and should not be taken as facts.

The Soleannan Imperium continues the practices of Niedene culture, as the nations that preceded it did as well. There have been no notable recorded changes in these practices upon unification and the time that followed thereafter. This is believed to be due to the citizens of each corresponding founder nation being comprised of mostly Niedene, Soleannen worshipping, fully fledged members of the nations that they were apart of, and thus, welcomed the unification of the empires. Some political scientists and historians suggest that another reason for the overwhelming support for the unification of the empires was due to most members of Niedene society learning and favoring of the so-called "Glory Days" of an empire that preceded all of the ones currently forming the Soleannan Imperium today. This empire was known to be called "The Empire of Escharia", one of the biggest empires in all of Rathnir's history. This however, merely remains a popular opinion and has a few minor correlations with no discernable factual basis to support this theory.

History
This history section covers the entirety of the events that surround and relate to the Soleannan Imperium, and events that led to its formation.

Formation of the Imperium
Not much is known about specific details of how the Soleannan Imperium was formed, due to most diplomatic talks being behind closed doors and essential documents being classified to the public eye. Whatever information that is currently being displayed as of the moment is all that is currently known, until this specific information can be declassified and studied properly. What is known however, was that talks between Former Imperetor Yazov, of the Aesperium Niedea, Former Emperor Nive Pallas-Akerian of the Fourth Empire of Escharia, and Severion (Spiritual Guide) Samael Vorpes Delgrenzvar to Imperetor Yazov, who helped mediate the meetings.

Sudden Construction of a Gertonian Border Wall
On March 15, 2022 it was discovered that the Gertonians built an enormous border wall that stretched across the land territory that bordered the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia and the Senata de (Province of) Aletrei. This border wall was not agreed to be constructed by involved parties, and is speculated to be used by the Gertonians for keeping citizens of the Soleannan Imperium out of Gertonian land. Reasoning behind why the wall was constructed is currently unclear, but is speculated by Soleannan Imperium politicians to arise from fear of an impending invasion from the newly formed nation. This however, is completely false. As stated by a joint message from the Imperial High Council: "There are currently no plans to invade Gertonia as of this moment". The situation is currently developing and is being resolved by Imperial High Council member Tobbrath, and Gertonian leader Jeremy. After several talks and deals, both parties involved have decided to leave the wall there, and to tear down the protest signs placed near it.
