'''The Republic of [[Utlia]]''' is a country in the [[Sea of Azzta|Azzta Sea]], in-between the island of [[eee]] and the [[Caseic Federation]]. Utlia is a member of the Eastern Bloc and is currently ruled by [[Reto Heyel]] of [[Einru]] and [[Coalition of Utlian Radicals|COUR]]. The nation has become renowned for its medical research and large mountains. Modern Utlia is the result of hundreds of years of mixing after the Unification of Utlia in 1102 TT, where the [[Eutan Kingdom|Eutan]] and [[Frish Kingdom|Frish]] kingdoms were merged into the [[Unified Kingdom of Utlia|Kingdom of Utlia]], since then the nation has gone through [[List of Utyr|five royal dynasties]], [[Wars in Utlia|two revolutions]] and seven democratic [[List of Utlian Rulers|rulers]]. In the post-calming world Utlia is known for its advanced technology, rich arts and culture, and diplomatic strength. The nation has historically been a part of [[Akuta Military Base|Akuta]] and the [[Eastern Bloc]] but has recently joined the [[The House of Light|House of Light]] and aligned itself with western powers.

=== Pre-Unification ===

==== City-state era ====
Earliest known settlement of Utlia comes from the Western Forests, now the Utlian Capital Territory, in these forests the first city-state was formed, [[Tela]] it prospers as Utlias first true civilization. Not long after, 2 more were formed nearby, [[Dirn]] and [[Lesyhan]], these three were all created sometime in 2750 TT. These three were the most important on the island but many smaller, less powerful ones sprouted in the north and south, including [[Kelna-Ut|Kelna]] and [[Unlaunen-Ut|Unlaunen]].

==== Twin Kingdoms and Unification ====
The Kelna and Unlaunen city states quickly outgrew the status, annexing and conquering large amounts of territory. The northern group assimilated with the [[Yeun tribe|Yeun]] tribe and became the [[Eutan Kingdom]] and the southerners became the [[Frish Kingdom]] after merging with the [[Ueb tribe|Ueb]]. The two kingdoms eventually annexed all but the three original western city-states, protected by Tela as part of the [[Tin-Pact|Tin-pact]] . The two kingdoms had a friendly relationship. On 4-7 1102 TT [[Wynlid Liamia]] and [[Shaen eien]], the kings of the Eutan Kingdom and the Frish Kingdom respectively, met at a site near the [[Balmor river]] and signed a declaration of [[Unification of Utlia|unification]], merging the two into one kingdom, known as Utlia.

Not long after the unification was finalized, Wynlid Liamia began the [[Azztan Annexation|Azztan Annexations]], a holy invasion of the three Tin-pact city states and its people. The annexations led to the extinction of both the Tela people and the Tela faith on Utlia. Following an Utlian victory, the capital of the unified kingdom was officially declared as Tinntean a recently destroyed town south of the Tela capital. The town was renamed [[Tinlea-Ut]] and work was started on building into a city worthy of the Utlians.

The [[Liamia family]] ruled as Utyr for around 500 years before losing the Succession War to the [[Aremt family]]. After the [[Azztan Restoration]] however, the Liamias came back into power as part of their second dynasty.

=== Yyme and Hia ===

Since Utlian unification in 1095 TT Utlia had been ruled by the descendants of Wynlid Liamia. The last King of Utlia [[Ywylin]], was overthrown by the [[RGOU]], a revolutionary group led by [[Yyme Braia]] and Votan, on 12-6 6 TT. This is considered the start of the modern era by historians and the republican government. The RGOU became the [[Utlian National Defense Force]] and Yyme became the first Utlian president, with Votan as Lieutenant President. The Yyme upper cabinet at time time was largely composed of former RGOU members and soldiers the president trusted.

The bill was signed by all 14 TPU members and 10 UBP members of the LC. Ire Liamia and the Upper Cabinet refused the bill, despite the majority of LC approval, in retribution the signatories sent Ire and other prominent members of the UC pamphlets detailing what TPU Lower Cabinet leader Byrn Lowsieyyme considers the crimes of the UBP, mainly the equal rights of Merriyem Utlians. Byrn was then fired from her position in late 25 PC for threatening lives with her pamphlets. After Byrns removal, members of the TPU walked out of the lower cabinet during a session in protest. Members who did not join the walkout then arranged a meeting with President Liamia where they proposed the splitting of the TPU into different factions, to allow for a more specific ideological party. The [[UAG]] was then formed by the group after they were allowed a faction formation grant.

The Republic of Utlia is a country in the Azzta Sea, in-between the island of eee and the Caseic Federation. Utlia is a member of the Eastern Bloc and is currently ruled by Reto Heyel of Einru and COUR. The nation has become renowned for its medical research and large mountains. Modern Utlia is the result of hundreds of years of mixing after the Unification of Utlia in 1102 TT, where the Eutan and Frish kingdoms were merged into the Kingdom of Utlia, since then the nation has gone through five royal dynasties, two revolutions and seven democratic rulers. In the post-calming world Utlia is known for its advanced technology, rich arts and culture, and diplomatic strength. The nation has historically been a part of Akuta and the Eastern Bloc but has recently joined the House of Light and aligned itself with western powers.

History

For more information: see History of Utlia

Pre-Unification

City-state era

Earliest known settlement of Utlia comes from the Western Forests, now the Utlian Capital Territory, in these forests the first city-state was formed, Tela it prospers as Utlias first true civilization. Not long after, 2 more were formed nearby, Dirn and Lesyhan, these three were all created sometime in 2750 TT. These three were the most important on the island but many smaller, less powerful ones sprouted in the north and south, including Kelna and Unlaunen.

Twin Kingdoms and Unification

The Kelna and Unlaunen city states quickly outgrew the status, annexing and conquering large amounts of territory. The northern group assimilated with the Yeun tribe and became the Eutan Kingdom and the southerners became the Frish Kingdom after merging with the Ueb. The two kingdoms eventually annexed all but the three original western city-states, protected by Tela as part of the Tin-pact . The two kingdoms had a friendly relationship. On 4-7 1102 TT Wynlid Liamia and Shaen eien, the kings of the Eutan Kingdom and the Frish Kingdom respectively, met at a site near the Balmor river and signed a declaration of unification, merging the two into one kingdom, known as Utlia.

Not long after the unification was finalized, Wynlid Liamia began the Azztan Annexations, a holy invasion of the three Tin-pact city states and its people. The annexations led to the extinction of both the Tela people and the Tela faith on Utlia. Following an Utlian victory, the capital of the unified kingdom was officially declared as Tinntean a recently destroyed town south of the Tela capital. The town was renamed Tinlea-Ut and work was started on building into a city worthy of the Utlians.

The Liamia family ruled as Utyr for around 500 years before losing the Succession War to the Aremt family. After the Azztan Restoration however, the Liamias came back into power as part of their second dynasty.

Yyme and Hia

Since Utlian unification in 1102 TT Utlia had been ruled by the Utyr, the title of holy monarch. The last Utyr of Utlia Ywylin, was overthrown by the RGOU, a revolutionary group led by Yyme Braia and Votan, on 12-6 6 TT. This is considered the start of the modern era by historians and the republican government. The RGOU became the Utlian National Defense and Yyme became the first Utlian president, with Votan as Lieutenant President. The Yyme upper cabinet at time time was largely composed of former RGOU members and soldiers the president trusted.

Utlia joined the Eastern Bloc as a founding member on 23-1 5 PC through the 1st Agreement Agreement.

On 7-12-16 PC Yyme Braia fell ill and died to Common Mor-Virus. After a lengthy deliberation by the Utlian Nomination Committee, Hia El was chosen as his replacement.

Democratic transition and struggle

Map of the island of Utlia

On 5-3 25 PC Ire Liamia passed a bill giving the Merriyem citizens of Utlia equal rights and the ability to run in politics, in response the opposition faction of Utlia in the Lower Cabinet, the TPU introduced a bill to force Ire Liamia and all his Upper Cabinet members to resign from both their positions and public appearances. The bill was signed by all 14 TPU members and 10 UBP members of the LC. Ire Liamia and the Upper Cabinet refused the bill, despite the majority of LC approval, in retribution the signatories sent Ire and other prominent members of the UC pamphlets detailing what TPU Lower Cabinet leader Byrn Lowsieyyme considers the crimes of the UBP, mainly the equal rights of Merriyem Utlians. Byrn was then fired from her position in late 25 PC for threatening lives with her pamphlets. After Byrns removal, members of the TPU walked out of the lower cabinet during a session in protest. Members who did not join the walkout then arranged a meeting with President Liamia where they proposed the splitting of the TPU into different factions, to allow for a more specific ideological party. The UAG was then formed by the group after they were allowed a faction formation grant.

Treaty of Liaia

Following the Nongba Civil War, which Utlia had been apart of with fellow Akuta Pact members Akaria and Faltir, the country signed the treaty of Liaia in 29 PC, ending the conflict. As part of the treaty the Republic of Utlia gained a puppet state called Liaia in south nongba.

32 PC Election

During the 32 PC election Ire Liamia was kicked from the UBP due to his "un-charismatic attitude" he was replaced by Swyl Shote, who along with Sern Bes formed The Coalition of the UBP and UAG, a merger of 2 parties. The UBP-UAG coalition won the election with 58% of the vote.

40 PC Power consolidation

on X-X-40 PC Sern Bes gave an announcement to the Lower Cabinet and press where he started by saying the system of political factions that Utlias elections had ran off was inefficient and just led to infighting, his solution was to simply fold all other parties into the Coalition of Utlian Radicals. His entire speech lasted less than 3 minutes.

Provisional Government

In 42 PC President Swyl Shote was killed by Ramchoi Banokan during a meeting meant to resolve a dispute over the Oken manor in Utlia. Due to Swyls' firing of Sern Bes he was without a LT President, in Utlian law this meant the nation would be governed by a provisional government made up of important groups that will decide the successor. On 12-1 43 PC the groups voted for a leader, Ire Liamia won the election by 1 vote on behalf of the Central Bank of Tinlea.

In the same year, Ire Liamia fell during a recreational trip and was paralyzed from the waist down, this lead to him resigning and calling snap elections. Wlykalt Syenter won the election with 50% of the vote, the other primary candidate being Areen Leshen, who got 48% of the vote. Wlykalt chose Crymia Myrn as his Lt. President and the two were officially inaugurated on x-x 52 PC.
