History
The Royal Society (1755-1925)
Founding
The Royal Society of Ilesland was founded in 1755 when they seceded from The North. Sir Thomas Snow of Villerona signed the formal letter to the King marking the end of The North. The Royal Society was led by the Snow family who maintained the previous unions system of Kings, Lords, and Serfs. However King Thomas Snow delegated a significant amount of power to the provinces of Ilesland, allowing them to elect representatives and set laws under Provincial Courts. This level of freedom was new to the people and provinces of Ilesland and garnered the Snow family large support.
The First Snow Dynasty
The Snow Dynasty lasted from 1755 to 1790. King Thomas Snow ruled until his death in 1780 when his son Prince Henry Snow took the throne.
Henry was known to be much less merciful than his father, and upon his rise to power King Henry removed all provincial power and dismantled the Provincial Courts. King Henry removed all unroyal citizens from the Castle City within Villerona. This led to what became known as The Great Terror. Knights of Henry's Royal Army were known to execute any dissenters and were given the rights to all land. The king starved thousands of innocent citizens by stealing crops and poisoning cattle. In retaliation Lord Fredrich Wellisburg II of Hurstall led the 1790 Rising, which resulted in the Death of King Henry Snow.
The Wellisburg Dynasty
The Wellisburg Dynasty took over in the summer of 1790 and for his time on the throne there was peace. The lower classes gained significant powers once again, with the establishment of The Royal Parliament. His rule remained uncontested by all classes. The Wellisburg family continued to reign for 90 years, then in 1880 the Snow family killed King Wellisburg IV and reinstated the Snow Dynasty.
The Second Snow Dynasty
The snows returned to the throne in 1880. Not much is known about this time as the King burned all history records. We do know he dismantled The Royal Parliament but little else is known of the time.
The "Duocratic" Period (1925-1975)
In July of 1925 the Anti Monarchal Coalition killed the King and instated what became known as The Duocracy. This was the beginning of what we call Modern Ilesland, and was a decisively rough start. While the Coalition maintained majority support and were a popular regime there was an extreme limit to power. All decisions were made by the two Dear Leaders, who held supreme executive power over all other members of the Council.
Despite the imbalance the Coalition used their power to educate the population and introduce Capitalism into Ilisian society as a replacement for monarchism. The Coalition were the first to divide Ilesland into multiple individual provinces, who would meet with the state to better attend to the needs of their jurisdiction.
Over the next few decades Democracy began to take favour over benevolent dictators and Jack Snow began the Democratic Revolution. By 1975 he had executed the Dear Leaders and held the first election.
Ilesland First Democratic Movement (1975~1984)
The first election brought about yet another member of the Snow Family, who would in just five years would be removed from office and sentenced to death by hanging for his funding of domestic terrorists and embezzlement, both class treasons punishable by death.
In yet another twist of irony the next elected official was Hunter Wellisburg. He was also the Founder of the Civil Military, a system created to counteract the rampant crime and terrorism brought about by the negligent Snow family. This would be the only honest achievement of his administration that would hold any semblance of value or importance. He is known as one of the worst leaders in our history, and is regarded by many as a topic not even worthy of thought or discussion.
The Civil Military Era (1984-2010)
The Civil Military of Ilesland (or ICM) was initially created by Wellisburg to combat crime and terrorism. In 1990 the ICM initiated the Martial Law Edict and began their accent to power.
The Founding
Initially the ICM was a derivative of the Royal Military who were kept in the Motherland to maintain peace. They were divided into smaller groups called ICM Units, deployed to the individual districs of every city. The ICM Units were controlled by the Head Official of the ICM, Natalie Daggarbourne, and reported to her for assignment.
Geography
Ilesland is 467,720.57 square kilometers in size and is made up of 18 provinces and the Lackley Island. Being a part of the Lake Miiyu Region of Yasteria Major Ilesland is known for harsh winter and mild to warm summers.
Demographics
Population
The population of Ilesland is 36,212,423 and is entirely populated, legally, by the human race. The government of Ilesland since it's founding has been staunchly anti-nonhuman. As a result all immigration and residency requires that the subject be entirely and purely human. The Division of Internal Investigations has stated that the population of non human illegals is increasing, though the exact number remains unknown.
Language
The predominant language is Codexian, though there are no language requirements past a basic understanding of Codexian and Native Ilisian. Native Ilisian is taught in schools, though has become less prevalent in modern communication due to it's outdated structures and lack of modern words. As a result over 80% of native born Ilisians do not fluently speak Native Ilisian, and of that 56% don't speak it at all.
Religion
While the practice of religion is currently legal there are no legal protections for the practice. Due to the INCPs refusal to aid in the funding of any religious organization many churches are starting to close down. The idea of religion has been continuously met with semi-hostility by Ilisians, as they often see them as nothing more than a means to justify murder and war. According to the 2020 census only 35% of Ilisians practice a form of theistic worship.
Government
The government of Ilesland is broken into multiple different regimes throughout history. Often times governments in Ilesland have been known to be corrupt and many different political officials have been assassinated, or died under unnatural causes. That being said The government has been systematically restructuring since early 2012 to work to weed out corruption and abuse of power.
Modern Government
The modern government is dictated by the Ilisian Neo-Constitution and is broken into three separate Houses: The House of the Executive, The House of the Ministries, and the Royal Courts
The House of Executives
The House of Executives is headed by the President, who is regarded as the "President, Dear Leader." The PDL elects to his house a set of delegates, known as a cabinet, to head a series of executive powers. The Executive holds the power of veto against the other branches, though is required to obey the Royal Courts interpretation of the Neo-Constitution. The Executive House holds an election every year, and places no term limits on presidency.
The House of Ministries
The House of Ministries is the authoritative figure of the Ministries of Ilesland. The Head of House is elected every three years by the members of the Ministries. They hold the responsibility of managing funding and regulation of the Ministries.
