Eros

The Grand Federation of Eros (Eldurlac: Ćáge Mejeca el Eros) is a federation of duchies in Southern Serrona. It formed after the dukes of the region agreed to join together during the collapse of the Vulperium. It is one of two successors, alongside the Second Valardom of Vulpina. The nation speaks the Eldurlac language.

The Grand Federation is located across a large region, but is well known to be generally cold, with some hot southern regions. Its Topography varies widely, but it is generally recognized to have many spruce and temperate forests, with plains separating them from hot southern jungles and deserts.

The government of Eros is an oligarchy, led by a council of the government members, which rules the nation. The leadership is made up of Grand Dukes, Grand Counts, and Grand Mayors. Each Duke and Count belongs to a duchy, and each Mayor rules a town.

Collapse of the Vulperium
The Vulperium suffered serious internal issues in December 2022 and early January 2023. During this time, in January it was announced that all Duchies were free to organize and choose their own fates as the Vulperium collapsed.

The grand dukes in the former Kingdom of Eros organized, and put the decision to a vote amongst their mayors, to provide proof of Eros's wishes. The vote passed 15 to 1, and the choice was made. On January 11, 2023, hours after Vulpinia declared independence from The Vulperium, the Council announced their cession, dissolving The Vulperium two days shy of its one year anniversary.

Independence
Since January 11, Eros has operated as an independent nation. Despite Vulpinia carrying around four times the population, many held dual citizenship, and thus lived away from that nation. As a result, Eros was much more on par with the population of Vulpina than numbers would suggest.
