Demiarbéz

Southern Aeternum Regional Council (Demiarbézian: Jušēn Áternij Regionën Konsel) is a body of Mayors (Idomisez) in the South of the Aeternum Order. It's purpose is to overlook the South (Demiarbéz and South Doiro specifically) in more tinier details than the central government. It's supposed to be a mayor-only council, but there are exceptions for previous mayors or other people who are determined to help the South.

It's place in the Central Government
The SARC is neither legalized, nor illegalized, according to the central government of the nation. Therefore, the SARC is not official nation-wise.

Structure
There are the Councilors, who consist of Idomisez and other people invited by the Idomisez.

Subdivisions
The SARC operates in the regions of Demiarbéz and South Doiro. It is firstly divided by regions: Demiarbéz, Doiro; and then subregions (Towns):
 * Federative Districts of Zarilyia and Ohrid (Zarilyia-Ohrid)
 * Aetolia
 * Idrilius
 * Hireathium

National Identity
The following categories of: Culture, Language, Vexillology, and Ethnics, are part of the Demiarbézian National Identity. Although, in nowadays, it does exist to a certain point, it also is heavily losing legitimacy and fading away, replaced by the Aeternum Identity.

Although there once was a Demiarbézian and Doiran national identity, it has been assimilated to the Aeternum identity. The remains of the Démiar-Doiran Identity are the Cultures, Languages, Ethnics.

Culture
WIP

Language
The language spoke in Demiarbéz is mainly Reformed Demiarbézian, but Early Demiarbézian and Middle Demiarbézian is also commonly used, especially by the poorer and lesser educated people. In other minor parts of the regions and near, there are languages spoken by the descendants of the native Ancient Demiarbézians - most of them remaining in a proto-form ever since they were created (thousands of years ago).

Vexillology
Flag of the Southern Aeternum Regional Council. The coat of arms in the middle circle represents the Cities of the Councilors and Region with the crown above symbolizing unity through the Council. On the edges of the rectangle, there are the coat of arms of Demiarbéz and Doiro, the two regions which the Council operates in. The color palette of the flag is influenced by the Aeternum one.

Ethnics
Here is a list of the ethnic groups of the region. Those are all of the recognised and theorised/unrecognised peoples that fall into the Demiarbézians as a whole or they are foreigners partaking in Demiarbézian identity.


 * Demiarbézian Demiarbézists - Those are the people who live in Demiarbéz, and their culture is Demiarbézism. The core ethnicity of Demiarbéz
 * Doirans - Those are the people who live in Doiro, and their culture is Doiran. The core ethnicity of Doiro.
 * Doiran Demiarbézists and Demiarbézian Doirans - Those are the people most met at the regional border between Doiro and Demiarbéz. The Doiran Demiarbézists are the people in Doiran who have Demiarbézist culture, the Demiarbézian Doirans are vice versa - they live in Demiarbéz but have Doiran culture.
 * Foreign Demiarbézists - Thsoe are the people who do not live in Demiarbéz, but their culture is Demiarbézism. They are recognised on the borders with Valron and Fortuna. They are not recognised in Istanboulder.
 * Demiarbézist Valronis
 * Demiarbézist Fortunans
 * Demiarbézist Istanboulderites
 * Hanzeizh Demiarbézians - Those are the people who live in Demiarbéz, and their culture is Hanzeizh. Unrecognised.
 * Fortunan Demiarbézians - Those are the poeple who live in Demiarbéz, and their culture is either Fortunan or Fjörgyian and Foxterian. Recognised.
 * Valroni Demiarbézians - Those are people who live in Demiarbéz, and their culture is Valroni. Unrecognised.

DNA Groups
Demiarbéz is quite diverse not only of ethnicity, but genetically as well. It has been a problem for a long time, that, the distribution of Ancient/Pure Demiarbézian DNA is not spread throughout all of the province, and instead is even present throughout all of Cymru due to migrations and previously owned land by the Ancient Demiarbézians. Unfortunately, the Ancient / Pure Demiarbézian DNA distribution is not yet documented for all of Cymru, and only for Demiarbéz and it's surrounding areas. Apart from the Ancient / Pure Demiarbézian DNA, there is surely more than that, and there are being held censuses and researches to find those other DNA groups. Here is a list of DNA groups that are Demiarbézian / of origin/decent / similar, recognised and theorised:


 * Ancient / Pure Demiarbézian - The blood that was present in the Ancient Demiarbézians all the way when Futo ruled. Core.
 * Middle Demiarbézians - A mixture of mostly Ancient / Pure Demiarbézian DNA with a variety of other due to migrations.
 * Modern Demiarbézians - A mixture of Middle Demiarbézians (means less Ancient/Pure Demiarbézian DNA) and even more variety of other DNA groups due to more migrations.
 * Doirans - A very new theory of Doirans being the decentants of Ancient / Pure Demiarbézians and a mixture of another DNA group. Still being worked on, but most likely expected to be false.

The plan of the government is to help the natives (Ancient/ Pure Demiarbézians) repopulate with Middle or Modern Demiarbézians so that they can return the ancient blood in the entire of the province. There are other DNA groups that inhabit the province, most of which are in the Eastern part of the province:


 * Tovarishan - Due to migrating from their lost home in Tovarisha, they were accepted in Demiarbéz, inhabiting Aetol City.
 * Viodoxan
 * Adytum branch - Due to migrations which led to the establishing of modern Demiarbéz by Andreas Zevedeos.
 * Fortunan branch - Due to previously held land by the Fortunans, occurs on the Eastern border.
 * Valroni branch - Due to previously held land by the Valronis, occurs on the Northern border.

Geography
Demiarbéz and Doiro are located to the southeast of Rathnir, in Cymru. They are also the southeastern-most regions in Rathnir.

Demiarbéz
It is mostly occupied by a mix of forests and plains, with the west and a part of the east covered in them. In the southeast, it is covered in a dark forest, with dark oak trees and mushrooms growing in it. There's also a tiny portion of taiga in the north, which covers the land above the river border with the rest of Aeternum Order of Hireathium & Requiem (including Doiro) and a part below the river.

Confederation of Demiarbézian Tribes
''Period: 1079? BTE - 76 BTE''

Futo's Union
Period: 98 TE - 110 TE

Province of Demiarbéz
Period: 123 TE - 168 TE

The Province of Demiarbéz would be the first state of modern Demiarbéz, founded by Andreas Zevedeos. He was helped by three other men - the mayor of Zariliya, the mayor of Ohrid (Fermopolis), and Throsaere Kotudaar. Since Zevedeos was going to be the mayor of a unfulfilled city named Lacurb, there was no more space for Kotudaar to find a city, therefore he was became the Minister of Economy, and the only Minister due to no proper government being established.

Zevedeos Period
 Period: 123 TE - 159 TE 

Politics
The relations with the other provinces were unclear, they were neutral. Though, the new province was welcomed by some higher officials in the central government of the Imperial Archonal Union. The (unclear) structure of the government was already mentioned, there was: the Etriarch (Absolute Ruler) of the Province; Minister of Economy; Town Mayors. There were no subdivisions at the very beginning, but were later mapped out by Minister Kotudaar.

Government Structure
Concluding everything that has been already said:


 * Etriarch - The absolute ruler of the Province.
 * Minister of Economy - Self-explanatory
 * The Council - The Council which served pretty much as an advistory body to the Etriarch. Consisted of the Mayors
 * Town Mayors - Self-explanatory

Subdivisions
The subdivisions of the Province were unclear throughout the majority of the Zevedeos period. The latest map accepted by the Etriarch, made by the Minister. There are four counties: Nov Ohrid, Lacurb, Zariliya, Qarya (Qara and Acrya)

National Identity
The Identity of the Demiarbézians was not proper, nor adequate. There were very few documentations of the culture and language of the Demiarbézian people who were living there before the Province was founded. However, Minister Kotudaar was most focused on that part, he worked a long time in order to retrieve more information regarding the culture of the people there. He did that by asking the citizens themselves, and also recovering old documents found in Fermopolis.

Minister Kotudaar was successful at recovering and documentating the dead language of the citizens, who spoke only iliterate and simpleton variants of Ancient Demiarbézian. He organised that simplified descendant of Ancient Demiarbézian and made a creole out of it and Hanzeizh, in order to appeal to the central government, thus Early Demiarbézian was born.

As for the culture, Minister Kotudaar has recovered documents of mostly the Mythology of the Ancient Demiarbézians, from which actually derive different paganist religions along with languages (languages who were ignored due to Ancient Demiarbézian dominating the region). He would also be successful at documentating various traditions he had personally witnessed during his journey around Demiarbéz and getting to know the people.

Demographics
The demographics of the Province back then were not documented well. But, it can be said that the dominating dna is Ancient / Pure Demiarbézian, the dominating religion is Mythosaurism and Vrinnism, the dominating language is the simpleton descendant of Ancient Demiarbézian.

The traitor
 130 TE 

At the time, the Imperial Archonal Union and the Jhorde were in conflict, which also bothered Demiarbéz since the Imperial Army could not get rid of the squatters. Upon a day around the year of 130 TE, the Demiarbézians had not heard anything from the Mayor of Fermoplis, thus Throsaere had decided to ask the Etriarch Andreas. When they met, the Etriarch informed him that the mayor in question had been deemed a traitor and exposed for treason against the IAU and affiliation with the Jhorde. Andreas proposed to Throsaere that he inherit the Mayorship of Fermopolis - he agreed. After that the town was renamed to Nova Ohrid, and during the times of the formation of Counties/Baronates, the county in which Nova Ohrid was in was named Nov Ohrid. After this, the old mayor of Fermopolis was to be long forgotten.

First Integration
In the same year, the IAU would succesfully integrate the previous squatter claims of Acrya and Qara into the Province. The town of Qara would be owned by Agajabrail the town of Acrya would be owned by Ludwig. The following year, Acrya and Qara would unite into Qarya, and the town would be owned by Agajabrail. Ludwig would keep his Councilorship.

Agajabrail Controversy
This would not be very clear to the public, but Agajabrail would for some reason be kicked out of the Council of Mayors. Acrya would be given to a person named Thompatomat. There would be a lot of arguing and it was unclear what the reasoning of all this controversy was. It was speculated that the reason he was kicked out of the Government is because of his inactivity. Later on, another reason would be revealed by the Lord Protector of the IAU - Loic, and it turns out that Agajabrail had been plotting a revolution. Agajabrail would illegally remain in Demiarbéz for some time, until leaving.

The new mayor of Qarya had a short-lived reign. He proved to be inadequate, thus he was kicked, humiliated - then left on his own. After that, it was decided by the Etriarch to merge Qarya with Zariliya, on 151 TE.

Resignation of Andreas
The Etriarch Andreas would decide to quit his position in the Province. He would propose the title of Etriarch to Minister Throsaere - he would hesitate at first but then he agreed. Throsaere would be interviewd by Archon Ryou Bakura, and then be approved to rule over the Province. The actual process of transferring the title would take quite long, as initially Throsaere would take the official tittle of Regent Etriarch and eventually Etriarch.

Before his resignation, the Etriarch would have a Royal family which was formed after he married the sister of Throsaere, Duzana (who was a native). With Duzana they had three children - his two sons Aris, Sölčan, and Berengaria Falčana, his daughter.

Kotudaar Period
 Period: 159 TE - 168 TE 

As already mentioned, Throsaere would initially take the title of Regent Etriarch and then eventually Etriarch, after being intreviewed by the Archon. The first things he'd do is change the flag, in order to announce a new era of reign.

Politics
The relations with the rest of the provinces remained unclear, as Demiarbéz was fairly isolationist. However, the relations between the Etriarch and the Central government would become better. The government structure remained mostly the same, with the only difference being the Barons who were rulers of the Counties, and practically were the Mayors. Although later on near the end of the provincial government and a bit before the start of the Viesten coup, the Council of Mayors was separated into two: The Town [Idomis] Committee (essentially the council of mayors + barons) and the Governor [Federyaz] Council which now only consisted of people chosen by the Etriarch. Due to the process of transfering the title from Andreas to Throsaere, the title of Regent Etriarch was also made official.

Government structure
Basically, the latest Government structure would be something like this:


 * Etriarch - Absolute ruler
 * Regent Etriarch - Highest advisor of the Etriarch, and his replacement
 * Federyaz Council - The second body of advisors of the Etriarch, propose ideas and laws.
 * Town Committee - The body of Idomisez and Barons, propose ideas and laws on a lower level of importnacy
 * Barons - Rulers of the Counties
 * Idomisez - Rulers of the Towns

Subdivisions
The administrative-regional division would be made much clearer. After the resignation of Andreas, the town Lacurb would be discontinued and forgotten. Along with that new settlers from Tovarisha would be welcomed as refugees, thus Qarya was renamed to something else. Lots of reforms regarding the Baronate structure would conclude into removal of the Counties of Lacurb and Qarya, and leaving only Nov Ohrid and Zariliya.

National Identity
The Identity of the Demiarbézian folks was higher than ever, and it would have grown if it weren't for the unfortunate events to happen. Illiterate rates dropped, as the new language called Early Demiarbézian spread through the native populace. The culture has also been growing, as more and more documents regarding the Mythology and more have been recovered. As time passed, the culture and language naturally slowly got rid of the Hanzeizh and became more independent.

Demographics
The demographics of the people were yet not documented that well, but there was some knowledge regarding the spread of Early Demiarbézian and foreign ethnics inside the borders of the Province. As already mentioned, the language became common in mostly the Western part of the Province, meanwhile the East continued having illiteracy. On the westnorth border, there could be met small groups of Fortunans and Valronis.

Second Integration
 162 TE 

The squatter claim of NoIRLReferences, what is now known as Hithlum, lead by Otey would agree to being integrated into the IAU. It was located on the edge of Rathnir. After the integration, the town would be a resource hub for the Province and the town would be formally named Idrilius.

Third Integration - Tovarishan Refugees
 166 TE 

A few years after the Second Integration of Idrilius, the war between the IAU and Paradies would result in a loss of IAU - meaning they'd have to pay miliions along with leaving Tovarisha as form of reparations. Tovarishans from the town of Aetolia would seek refugee in Viodoxa, and the Government would lead them to Demiarbéz due to it being a new province and in need of people. Three people would show up leading their people - Nicodemus, 07, and Arlus. They would settle in what used to be Qarya, more specifically a bit East to Idrilius. The city would begin expanding rapidly, and ever since has been the biggest city of Demiarbéz.

Provisional Etriarchate of Demiarbéz
Period: 168 TE - 170 TE

Founding
The Provisional Etriarchate of Demiarbéz is a province in the Viesten Martial Republic with a temporal government established due to state of emergency. Before the coup of Kogan, the AOHR, supported by Kartek, striped away nearly eighty percent of Demiarbéz' already limited territory. Demiarbéz was doing a good job handling with the squatters in a defensive way, however, after the coup, no one was sure what to do, especially the Etriarch because he was told that the coup was in favour of the AOHR and it was between "Kogan will negotiate the lost territory back" and "Join SOC so you get the lost territory back". The Etriarch decided to try and stop the panic of not only himself but citizens who wanted answers, he established a provisional government Etriarchate as to where it served in continuing defences again AOHR in case the negotiations went wrong.

Ceding to AOHR
After the Etriarch of Demiarbéz had been informed that both nations of Sirradra and SOC will maintain friendly relations, he was reconsidering if he should join the ex-enemy and unify in a guaranteed way. After having consultation with Autokrat Kogan about this, he was advised that he ceded Demiarbéz to Aeternum Order of Hireathium & Requiem. So the Etriarch did. He announced in to his citizens then made a vote to see what they thought about this, majority voted that they disagree but will stay, and so the Etriarch officially established the Akenastic Etriachate of Demiarbéz, proclaiming himself as the Akenas of Demiarbéz.
