Mirhaime, officially Federation of the Mirhaimian Realm (Keffrysans na Sairna Mirhaimened), abbreviated M.H., byname Trinteria, is a country located in the continent if Novaris.
It is a federal monarchy of 42 states and governorates organised under 10 Grand Dominions. The national capital is Ymirodraeth Special Administrative Region (SAR) which was established in 1650 as an entity independent from Loren directly managed by Empire Hill.
The territory of Mirhaime encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: the tall, sheer mountains of its Central Highlands which form a defensive barrier around its heartland; the forested hills of the urbanized Grand Dominion of Aeter; and the plains of the agricultural Grand Dominion of Arsél. At the spiritual and economic heart of the country is the Metropolitan of Loren by the Nedh River flowing into the Armadh Channel separating the mainland from the Grand Dominion of Nerís. Along the banks of the Nedh and its principal tributaries stand hundreds of ancient ruins and sites of castles and villages, towns and ancient centers of culture and education including names such as the urban OSEAGHE and Saint Ceamhaidh's Keep. All are centrepieces of Mirhaime's thriving tourist economy, which brings millions of visitors to the country each year, drawn by its natural beauty, history, culture, and cuisine (including its renowned wines and beers).
Though its federal system might otherwise be considered as a predominantly Republican system, the Léiadh, whose authorities extend over all three branches of government, also occupies the Marghal Throne and the associated styles and titles - qualifying them as a monarch.
Various Fefsen-speaking tribes have inhabited modern Mirhaime since antiquity with the very first human, and elven presence in the country being recorded around 500,000 years prior in caves around the dominions of Teancáir, and Thalor. These tribes later developed into some of Novaris' oldest advanced civilizations. These major civilizations later fractured into independent empires and kingdoms that existed throughout the period known as Classical Trinteria before being united into the Trinterian Commonwealth around the 1st century CE through the efforts of Aran the Great, usurper of the former Patriarch of the Aeterite Hierarchy.
The Trinterian Commonwealth came to dominate the majority of Mirhaimian history throughout five eras commonly referred to as "The Eras of the Commonwealth". Having become an imperialist power in earnest following its unification under the Feldrot Dynasty, the Trinterian Commonwealth evolved into a formidable power in Eastern Novaris through means of conquest, and economic superiority gained through the domination of sea, and land trade routes. Though regularly plagued by instability throughout its history, Trinterian sciences and culture evolved drastically under the Trinterian Commonwealth.
Numerous events, including a catastrophic economic recesion caused by a plague, as well as a preceding civil war culminated in the dissolution of the Trinterian Commonwealth in 1482 which begun the century-long War of Trinterian Succession. In the immediate aftermath of the collapse, the Mirhaimian Realm was plunged into civil war with the primary combatants having been the Trinterian Confederacy base in Cathal and the Trinterian Commonwealth (commonly referred to in the context of the period as the Aeterite Imperium).
The war, owing to the diplomatic efforts of Herad J. Kairas, the then-Lewydhoran of the Confederacy, the tide of the war slowly turned in their favour. However, with the exhaustion suffered by both sides from the war, negotiations were preferred by all parties, prompted by the change of throne into the hands of Empress Betraís of the Imperial Clan of Sonagh. The signing of the Treaty of Daemir on September 1, 1648 saw the defining of a Keffrysyans (Federation) encompassing the entirety of the Mirhaimian Realm including territories then not governed by either the Trinterian Confederacy or the Commonwealth in Aeter. With preparations underway for the merging of the governments into a final seat of power in Ymirodreath, the Federation of the Mirhaimain Realm was formally established on September 2, 1650 with the former Empress Betraís Keiara Sonagh presuming office as its first Lewydh.
With the subsequent period of Tairas Soikan (Resurging Peace), Mirhaime underwent a period of rapid development from an agricultural to an industrial state during the early stages of the 19th century. This allowed Mirhaime to regain its relevancy prior to the collapse of the Commonwealth.
The most important event in recent Mirhaimian history is the Ymirodraeic Revival of 1865-1868 prompted by decades of economic inequality caused by a shaky period of industrialization and the lack of representation in the functioning of the government. This precipitated the Marghal Revolution of 1865 which overthrew the regime of old and produced many important documents, changes and reforms which still expresses Mirhaime's ideals to this day on top of being the guiding principle of its foreign policies and government for the next few decades.
With the end of the Great War, troubles at home and numerous other events this saw Mirhaime intensify its involvement abroad mainly for the economic opportunities that it might bring as well as to distant Mirhaime away from the same Novaran entanglements that saw the country endure a brutal eight years of combat. These endeavours resulted in Mirhaime becoming (thus far) small player on the international stage though large enough for people to remember its name. It's current most important entanglements are in Arcturia in the from of Phoenixian Afragola - a colony historically subjected to economic exploitation with a deep rift in its society still - and Western Gondwana where it is currently acting as a de-facto arbiter for regional affairs with a defence treaty signed with the Serene Emirate of Sayyed, and a protectorate status extended over the Theocratic Republic of Aldaar. Its most recent war was fought in 2017 with the outbreak of the Second Dømin War in Afragola which was sparked by popular uprising that it helped put down. However, with the threats of Western Gondwana being engulfed in war again, Mirhaime is preparing itself for all possible scenarios leading into 2023 and beyond.
The mother tongue of the majority of the population is Fefsen which has many varying dialects by region. The most important foreign language is Staynish, which is taught in schools in all federal states. Mirhaime's culture is inherently diverse and with numerous traditions, institutions and events being recorded and recognized internationally. Many sites in Mirhaime are recognized as World Heritage Sites due to their cultural, and historical significance.
Following the 2023 Askarabani and Crimpatein invasion of Sayyed, Mirhaime issued a formal declaration of war sanctioned by all bodies of government on June 15, 2023, and temporarily replaced its national banner with the Gwyrgalos War Flag.
=Etymology=
The ''Staynish'' word ''Trinteria'' derives from the archaic term ''Trinktri'sa'' which is used in Mirhaime to refer to the heartlands of the Mirhaimian realm around the Don'drah plains. The native term ''Mirhaime'', the true meaning of which is lost to time, was first documented in the 12th century Before Unification in ''"Codex of the Realm"'' written by a collection of unknown writers in Old Fefsen, and was later adopted as the official name of the Commonwealth in Fefsen (ᚲᛟᛗ-ᛚᚨᚦᚨᛊ ᛗᛁᚱᚺᚨᛁᛗᛖ×ᛊᚨ. translit: Commonwealth of the Mirhaimian Realm). By historical records and writings, beginning in the 10th Century Before Unification, educated Trinterians (humans; dwarves; and elves alike) began to refer to themselves as ''daoine Mirhaime'' (Mirhaimian people).

===First Anarchy and the Unification of the Realm===
With the growth of Fefsen kingdoms following the flourishing of their culture, many tribal unions, city states, kingdoms and empires came to dominate the geopolitical landscape of ancient Trinteria. These states and their colonies reached great levels of prosperity that resulted in an unprecedented cultural boom, that of classical Trinteria, expressed in architecture, drama, science, mathematics and philosophy. In 689 BU, the elven City of Osten

=== War of Varausian Subjugation ===
=== First Era of The Commonwealth===
Following the ascendency to the Drake Throne, Emperor Aran Ke'sed and trusted advisors began work to stabilize the fragile Realm. From the ''Humiliating of Ytian (7 AU)'' to the ''War for Magai (12 AU)'', a sense of national pride was ignited across the Commonwealth. Historians attributed the longevity of the Realm partially to the introduction of a system of compulsory education known as ''
The closure of the education gap from the peasantry to the upper class, as well as a new-founded sense of national pride ensured the continued existence of the Commonwealth, as well as a steady increase in craftsmanship, and trade across the Commonwealth. The introduction of an organized educational system solidified the Drake Throne's hold on the Realm, and formed a culture that promotes intellectualism. Three of the most influential Fefsen poets—Ovon, Hitak, and Kitan—belong to this period of history. Ovon wrote the ''Aeneid'', creating a national epic for Trinteria whilst Hitak perfected the usage of the ''Sautam'' verse form which swiftly became popular for its easy-to-learn tone, and rhyme rules which allowed it to be enjoyed and composed by lowly peasants to noble princes alike. Kitan followed suit, and wrote ''The Tale of Kanri'', an epic poem considered one of the most famous poem and a classic in Trinterian literature.
=== War of Zorakian Subjugation ===
The rich city of Zysen defected to Kaosen, followed quickly by others in Zenkau and Akas. A Trinterian Army in Tenkir, under the Consult-Elect Kiran Zumsai, was annihilated, seeing another 20,000 Trinterian soldiers killed. The Zorakian fleet raided from Blaithnad and Oro at will. Half the Consuls elected from 497 to 503 CE were slain on the battlefield.
Gersi Ensagh, Matriarch of Klanna Elmear of the High Trinterian hairn of Tasar, was declared Warmaster Superior by Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Mhearai Awrae Feldrot in the autumnal tang of Kaal, 503 After Unification - this honor bestowed upon her under the watchful eyes and the silent approval of the Gods.
With the new authorities bestowed upon her, she became the mastermind behind the swift recovery of the Trinterian Banner Army under the service of the crown-under-heaven after the disastrous defeats at Fansau and Zumire where legions were shattered at the hands of Kaosen War-Bird. Two legions and ten thousands citizens-at-arms per year as rejuvenated Jadas rose at a rate unthinkable to the Zorakian aristocrats whose entire war efforts depended solely upon a army of a season led by a charismatic general whose victories in battle they had not the intention to honor by bestowing upon him the lowliest of senatorial position.
Although Kaosen War-Bird found himself victorious in many battles and inflicted heavy casualties on the Trinterians, he could not win the war simply because he did not have enough soldiers at arms with his ranks and files comprised solely of forcefully conscripted peasants and mercenaries who'd often disband themselves and ran if their lives were in danger as shown by the 15th Legion under Consult-Elect Jatan Carvita in the Battle of Butau. In essence, Kaosen invaded Trinteria with too small an army to fight a long war. He had a fixed number of soldiers which he could not easily replace (although he had false hope he could rally Trinterians to his cause).
While the Trinterians were able to take risky military maneuvers and trade casualties man for man - sapping the enemy's manpower - the Zorakians under Kaosen could not. Although Kaosen was able to capture a few cities and trading ports, he was never able to march his galleys to Loren-by-the-Sea where the Trinterian seat of power rested out of fear of wasting his limited numbers of galleys in fruitless charges much to his own frustration.
While the Trinterians were busy gathering a force of four hundred new galleys laid down and eighty thousand siinarai in eight Jadas backed by nearly a hundred thousand auxiliaries which saw the now three times defeated legions growing to twice the size of their adversary, Kaosen's victorious army settled into their winter quarters in Samhail along the coast of High Trinteria and and scrounged for food and equipment while his pleas of support fell on deaf aristocrat Zorakian ears. With the odds in her favor, Warmaster Gersi Elmear swept across the coast and retook the cities which fell to Kaosen in his past campaigns, sapping away her foe's manpower as the cities came back to Trinterian Commonwealth hands - their Governors either dismissed or beheaded at her order. On the other hand, rather than engage in direct battle with the Trinterian forces, Kaosen plotted his retreat back to Zorak with the bulk of his forces whilst leaving a small contingent behind in an attempt to mask his movement from his advancing foes. However, in a stroke of luck for the Trinterian, a copy of a general movement order containing invaluable information was found hidden inside an inconspicuous sack by Siinarai of Saint Basal's 19th Jadas in a Zorakian scout camp some thirty miles south of Zysen which fell into Trinterian hands some five days prior by a force of three Jadas under Battlemaster Jatan Nased. Although the date on the letter were four days old, it was passed along to Warmaster Gersi Elmear who cautiously plotted a sizable force of twelve Jadas to intercept Zorakian forces retreating to Liwen where they were to board their galleys and retreat to Zorak where Kaosen had hoped he would be able to rebuild his forces and resume his campaign.
something something filler
A letter in which detailed the Trinterian demands for peace was given to the Zorakians by a messenger who was accepted in good faith by Kaosen War-Bird. In said letter, the Trinterians demanded the reduction of Zorakian Republic's territorial extent to just their capital of Abtawe - effectively reducing them to a city-state - as well as an indemnity of 8,000 silver talents. Though many senior Zorakian nobles had expressed strong desire to reject the treaty and continue waging war with whatever remaining resources the Republic still had at their disposal, Kaosen War-Bird was a vocal supporter as he saw it as a way to put a permanent to the end of war the cost of which in blood he considered to be "outrageous" in his later writings. Despite Kaosen's best attempt at avoiding bloodshed, the Zorakian senate unanimously chose to reject the call for surrender out of the false hope that they could yet rally a force large enough to at least push the Trinterian legions out of the island and achieve, at least, a white peace - a decision that Kaosen latter called a "grevious mistake".
Kaosen War-Bird's hands were forced as he was threatened execution had he reject his orders. For his final campaign, Zorak managed to rally some 80,000 soldiers in comparison to the Trinterian's 70,000 in fourteen Jadas who were gathered in and around the city of Zylau.
The campaign ended in disaster for the Zorakians at the battle of Kunentas when Warmaster Gersi Elmear personally lead an outnumbered force of 40,000 in eight of the Jadas at her disposal to victory against a demoralized, poorly-equipped Zorakian force of 60,000 with few losses. The final battle of the war occurred on the spring of 506 AU when the Trinterians launched their final assault at the Zorakian capital of Abtawe after having besieged it for over four months as they braced themselves for winter. The battle saw the city systematically destroyed as many of its inhabitants slained; the 40,000 who yet remained were sold into slavery. Though other Zorakian nobles had their lands stripped as they were either slain, or made slaves, Kaosen War-Bird was spared by Warmaster Gersi Elmear as he was sent into exile to the island of Zufan Supreme where he remained till his death in 543. The formerly Zorakian territories became the new gairn of Zorak as a new Trinterian city was built on the ruins of Abtawe.

It is universally agreed upon that the Third Era of the Commonwealth begun following the ascension of the young Princess
During the Ainyean Era, the Commonwealth begun to emerge as a prominent imperialist power as it engaged in aggressive wars of expansion in a two-century long period of expansion and settlement driven by a widely held cultural belief known as ''Destined Growth'' which states that Trinteria's expansion and growth are the ''Will of the Divines''. Another event of note during the ''Ainyean Era'' is the Rise of Trinterian Naval Prowess wherein a decree written by ''Empress Ainye'' begun the construction of several fleets of flotillas which the Commonwealth used to wrestle control of several islands in the regional sea, allowing it to dominate shipping lines for a period of time.

Though stability was maintained, the Commonwealth ceased all growth by the late 15th century, becoming engulfed in political infighting that culminated in a number of peasant revolts and mutinies well into the 16th century as subsequent Emperors and Empresses failed to contain the spread of corruption and division in Trinterian society. Historians came to agree that two major events led up to the catastrophic dissolution of the Commonwealth: The Erian Imperial Uprising (1421-1436) and the Plague of Juhina in 1437.
Line 219 ⟶ 249:
In early 1384, a group of diplomats led by Bao Ying were dispatched to Trinteria by Yuèliàng patriarchs who sought to thwart Taiyōan dominion over their territories, and were willing to pay tributes to Trinteria in exchange for the restoration of their independence. An opportunity arose for Trinteria to cripple a rival in the region whilst acquiring new vassals to incorporate, Empress Freida allowed the Banner Army to assemble a force to heed the patriarchs' plea.
Preparations well into the Winter as battle plans were drawn up by a Command Council led by Warmaster of the Banner Army, and Knight Commander of the Chivalrous Order of
The early stages of the war were notably defined by scoring Trinterian victory as the technologically inferior Taiyōan-led loyalist army lost nearly the entirety of its southern territory before being able to score a victory in the Battle of the Misty Marsh where they forced the Trinterian Army to retreat to Zung Wa where a siege lasting nearly 4 months ensued, broken only be a peace treaty that permanently set in place Trinterian suzerainty over the Taiyoan constituent of Yueliang, and the longest standing Mirhaimian military abroad in the form of the 3000-strong chivalrous ''Northern Order'', which has maintained a permanent present in the country since 1388.

===Second Anarchy and Unification of the Realm ===
For over a century, no central force was present to govern over the entirety of the Realm as various kingdoms, and republics were formed to govern themselves following the collapse of the Commonwealth. Oftentimes, these polities had their own political and territorial ambitions which led to major wars being fought throughout the period referred to by historians as the
The Clan of Kairas, a line of prestigious battlemasters and civil administrators under the Trinterian Commonwealth, was one of the most vocal supporters for the establishment of a more centralized authority however they lacked the political influence or army to significantly influence opinions within the Concordance's assembly. However, under their new Patriarch, Hera J. Kairas, a period of drastic changes ensued as the Army modernized from a predominantly peasant army into a professional force funded by trade from several relatively esteemed port cities gained through the successful conquest of the region, as well as gold, and silver mines in their native land.
was the largest political entity in Western Mirhaime, having united 5 cities, 56 duchies, and 3 tiarnas under their banner. With their new-found power, the Republic used this to their advantage by leveraging political favours, as well as further expanding their military force. The war, owing to the diplomatic efforts of Herad J. Arascain, the then-Lewydhoran of the Confederacy, the tide of the war slowly turned in their favour. However, with the exhaustion suffered by both sides from the war, negotiations were preferred by all parties, prompted by the change of throne into the hands of Empress Betraís of the Imperial Clan of Sonagh. The signing of the Treaty of Daemir on September 1, 1648 saw the defining of a Keffrysyans (Federation) encompassing the entirety of the Mirhaimian Realm including territories then not governed by either the Trinterian Confederacy or the Commonwealth in Aeter. With preparations underway for the merging of the governments into a final seat of power in Ymirodreath, the Federation of the Mirhaimain Realm was formally established on September 2, 1650 with the former Empress Betraís Keiara Sonagh presuming office as its first Lewydh.
=== Tairas Soikan===
Much to the general dismay of her neighbors, as well as some elements within the Nation itself, the Trinterian Realm was once again united under the banner of a capable regime based off of Loren
Mirhaime's modern industrial prowess can be attributed to the fact was one of the foremost pioneers of the industrial revolution in Novaris during the late 18th, and early 19th century thanks to its relative stability, and favorable conditions both manpower and material wise. With an initial focus on the textile industries, this growth later spilled to other fields such as shipbuilding, arms manufacturing, steelmaking and mining. Thus, Mirhaimian bankers, shipbuilders and miners developed an immense advantage over other states in the region, allowing Mirhaime to arise as one of the foremost economic power throughout the 19th century. However, it slowly lost its competitive advantage as other nations such as Tretrid and Volscina caught up in industrialization.
===
With the rise of industries and heavy concentrated manufacturing in Mirhaime that saw urbanisation slowly rise throughout the course of the 18th and 19th century CE, the wealth inequality of the country rose. This was perpetrated by a rigid system which purposefully utilised loopholes in the unchanging Constitution to perpetuate said inequalities.
Many different political group form both sides of the spectrums found themselves at odds with the government, as such, caused wide social discontent and class tensions.
This culminated in the 1867 event widely known as the Ymirodraeic Revival where a series of initially peaceful protest was met with violence and was soon turned into a military-backed revolution that effectively toppled the ruling government. Despite this, however, the institution remained and, through leadership guided by the Council for Reconciliation and Reconstruction the efforts of which were chiefs by the then-lewydh Arlaen Mirostadh, severely reformed on the basis of granting greater rights to the workers and greater liberties to many previously overlooked or disregarded groups within society at the time.
The Jidak Constitutional Crisis (Fefsen: lit. 'Jidak Square Chaos of the Constitutional Violation') was a political standoff and constitutional crisis that took place in Mirhaime on 17 February [F.K 28 Taal] 1744, and was resolved by forces loyal to the Saedikar and Saenad via military force.
The paragonship of Kual Tokom nar Loren
The Army, under order of the Saedikar and Saenad stood to defend the Saenad buildings from repeated pro-Paragon forces. They were later reinforced by the Heralds of Aran and Children of Siinkar Infantry Division who marched their 122th, 133th, 233th and 234th Regiments of Foot from their garrison to defend the capital. At the climax of the event, the newly proclaimed Paragon Meiri Jyrak ordered three artillery pieces to open fire with grapeshot ammunition to devastating effect. To avoid the slaughter, the rebels broke and ran. Some attempted to regroup on the frozen surface of the river Don'drah to the north. However, they were targeted by the artillery and suffered many casualties. As the ice was broken by the cannon fire, many sank. The revolt in the north came to an end. Some 1,242 were arrested the following weeks by the authorities, their leaders had any noble titles stripped, and executed for high treason whilst the common soldiers were sentenced to hard labour on Sentinel Island. Mirhaime was thought by some to be "on the brink" of civil war. The ten-day struggle became the deadliest day in Loren
According to the General Prosecutor's Office, 234 people were killed and 586 wounded.
===The Troubles, and the Coup of Draal===
[[File:Image 2022-03-27 082007.png|200px|left|thumb|The future leader of the coup, Colonel, and Knight of Honour of the Guards Clodagh Lean
The Troubles referred to a series of major economic recessions and political infightings in Mirhaime during the 1950s and 1960s. Beginning with the rapid declination of the Loren Stock Exchange, in which stock prices collapsed completely and 6,410,030 shares were traded in a single day. Billions of Inters were lost, wiping out thousands of investors, and stock tickers ran hours behind because the machinery could not handle the tremendous volume of trading. After October 29, 1959, stock prices had nowhere to go but up, so there was considerable recovery during succeeding weeks. By and large, costs kept on dropping as the Mirhaime Federation drooped into an exceptional financial downturn, and by Q1 of 1962 stocks were worth somewhere around 20% of their worth in Q2 of 1959. However financial exchange crash of 1959 was not the sole reason for the Great Depression, it acted to speed up the monetary breakdown. By 1963, almost 50% of Mirhaime's banks had fizzled, and unemployment was moving toward 14 million individuals, or 30% of the labor force.
Though measures could have been taken to help the economy weather the storm, inept leadership and incompetence in a number of crucial areas did little to help. The paragons who were chosen to deal with the crisis failed terribly, and the Saenad dove itself into tumult. Aids were requested from foreign states, many of whom agreed to assist. Though these aids gave Mirhaime's citizens much needed relief, they did not help to alleviate the Federation's ongoing political split. The appearances of aids and personnel from Tretrid, a traditional geopolitical rival of Mirhaime galvanized conservatives within the Saekari and Realm Defence Forces. This culminated in the event known as the Coup of Draal in late 1963, in which several units of the Realm Guards formed a new Revolutionary Council of the Guards, headed by Brigadier General and Battlemaster of the Guards Clodagh Lean nar Jisak'sa. However, they were intercepted by loyalist forces against whom they engaged in armed skirmishes in the Ka of Pankow.
The coup begun around 8:42 PM (local time) when communication with Fort Kivarr was lost as members of the newly-formed Council seized control of the Fort from loyalist elements without opposition. Initially thought to be a simple malfunctioning of communication equipment, a small group of technicians comprising of Specialists Jatan Zasagh, Niahm Ryka, and Kinrah Aemir were dispatched to Fort Kivarr from Fort Zuvan in Pankow

Heading down the main thoroughfare, the rebels attempted to pacify the local population but were met with relative opposition from pro-loyalist citizens. One argument on Catrin Zarak Street escalated into a full firefight between armed citizens, and rebel forces wherein molotov cocktails were thrown at rebel armored vehicles from within buildings. Armed citizens, the vast majority of whom are veterans with formal military training, continued to offer resistance from within their homes, and office buildings. The City's General Prosecutor's Office estimated that the rebels suffered between 50 to 100 casualties as a direct result of these violent confrontations, and attacks.
At around 2:30 AM, both sides engaged in direct combat with the heaviest fighting concentrated around the road junction connecting Unity Avenue and Vukar Street in District 2; Fifth Street Promenade in District 3: and the Pankow Town Hall in District 1.

By 7:30 AM, loyalist reinforcements were pouring in by the thousands from the direction of Highway A-55. With mounting losses, and no hope for victory, the leadership of Battalion D59 of the rebel Regiment E33 established bilateral communication with loyalist forces expressing their wish to switch side while providing crucial information in exchange. By 8:30 AM, the entirety of Battalion D59 began attacking rebel forces in coordination with a loyalist counterattack. Having suffered heavy casualties, many rebel units surrendered en masse. By 12:30 AM, the majority of rebel forces having voluntarily disarmed themselves with one final company retreating to defensive positions around their barracks, which was an ad hoc camp that had been set up in Katan Public Park in District 1, approximately 3 kilometres away from the town hall.

After a brief but violent battle that killed around 400 people, the coup attempt was crushed. This included many armed civilians who offered fierce resistance to rebel forces. Fort Kivarr was recaptured by loyalist forces at around 3:00 PM, the holdout there being relieved.

All 1,483 members of the RCG were interrogated, but ultimately only 124 were prosecuted: 73 NCOs, nineteen officers, nineteen soldiers and ten civilians. Of these, all of the officers, 43 NCOs, three soldiers and all of the civilians were found guilty. The trials related to the coup took nearly eighteen months to complete.

Fifteen of the officers, including Clodagh Lean were executed by firing squad on 15 July, 1964 at a military prison on Sentinel Island. The execution of two of her righthands, Major Ceri Ziris, and Aidan Kodagh was delayed so that they could testify at the trials of other officers. Ceri, Aidan, the remainder of the rebels found guilty were executed by firing squad at the same location on 14 August 1964
Despite having resulted in a disastrous failure, the Coup of Draal had long-lasting and widely-felt political results. It had the effect of severely diminishing the prestige, and popularity of conservative factions within the Ansan Coalition, and allowed liberal, pro-reformist movements to grow in power and influence. As a direct result of the coup, support for the Carwal

''I would have preferred to carry through to the end in the spirit of solidarity with those who still stand firm with my Ascendancy, regardless of whatever the personal agony it would have involved as my family had unanimously urged me to do so. But the interest of the Nation must always come before any personal considerations. From the discussions I have had with members from both branches of the Saekari, I have come to the conclusion that the political support, and confidence necessary to tackle a task of such immense difficulty were no longer with me.''
''Though I have never been one to falter in the face of overwhelming odds, to leave office as Lewydh of the Federation in such abrupt manners torment me immensely. But it is my duty as such to put the interests of the Mirhaimian Realm, and her people above all. Mirhaime requires a full-time leader, and a full-time Saekari, particularly at this time with the predicaments we are facing both at home, and abroad. Therefore, I shall resign as Lewydh of the Federation effective at morning tomorrow.''
''I am leaving my post with apprehension, but also with hope, and faith in you, your wisdom and force of spirit. We are the heirs of a great civilization, and its rebirth into a new modern and dignified life now depends on one and all. I wish to thank with all my heart all those who have stood together with me all these years for the fair and good cause. Though some mistakes could have surely been avoided, many things could have been done better but I am convinced that this democratic institution for which we have shed our blood to defend, and construct will persevere even through the darkest of days. I wish all the best to all of you.''
''For Gods, For Realm, and For Dominion.''</blockquote>The speech received relatively mixed reception by public commentators many of whom refused to vocally provide their opinions on the matter. Most notably, Carwal did not devote any portion of the speech to recite the accomplishments of her ascendancy; a decision reputedly caused by humiliation, and shame. Early the following morning, Carwal and her family said farewell to the staff of the Eryas Palace in the Main Hall before being escorted by a motorcade to their personal residence in District Elwyn, Loren SAR.
Two weeks later, Carwal's family reported to the local police department of her sudden disappearance. She was soon found deceased by police; she had hung herself using a rope slung over the branch of a tree in the nearby Kadral Forest, her personal belongings, and last words neatly packed using her beige-coloured trench coat. In the 6-page long suicide note which was declassified in 2009 by the Department of Justice, she expressed her love for her family - reciting the memories they had made together - as well as devoting a portion to express her "immeasurable shame and humiliation" of the failures of her ascendancy to prevent the Coup of Draal from occurring. In said portion, she dedicated several paragraphs to her personal opinions on the political climate of the Saekari, she indirectly stated her personal support for and his vocal attempts to stabilize the ascendancy through constitutionally democratic means.
=== Reformation under Breandán M. Kairas ===
With the resignation, and death of the former Lewydh, the Carwal Ascendancy was slowly dismantled as Premier Broin assumed the position of Lewydh till the Saekari could organize a nationwide vote to elect a new individual to assume the office. An emergency election was announced in April by the both chambers of the Saekar, and was set to conclude on September of the same year.
The political fallout of the coup tarnished the reputation of candidates previously affiliated with the Carwal Ascendancy, and allowed pro-reformation liberal groups headed by Breandán M. Kairas, the former Mayor of the city of Pankow, to skyrocket in popularity. Subsequently, on April 5, 1964, SIinkar announced his candidacy for the ascendancy nomination. Though some questioned Kairas' age and political experience, his charisma, eloquence and familial history as the direct descendant of Herad Kairas earned him numerous supporters even amongst conservative circles. Despite this, however, Siinkar faced several potential challengers, including Senate Majority Leader Anrah Niamh Zarsan, the former Governor of Yseult, Aran Ythar Garsan, and Senator Cadwyn Fanar. But regardless, Kairas remained a popular choice amongst citizens who were set to cast their votes in mid June.
In an attempt to challenge Kairas' upper-hand in public populairity, Saenad Majority Leader Anrah Zarsan invited him to a televised debate. Siinkar accepted. The series of debates between the two candidates became the first extensive use of what would thereafter become a staple medium of Mirhaimian political campaigns—television. Broadcast live on national television all throughout April, and May, the give debates ultimately provided Siinkar's campaign with a huge boost.
Estimates suggest 93% of all eligible voters watched the first debate. The Majority Leader Anrah Zarsan voters seen on their monochrome television screens seemed pale, anxious, and uneasy. She was fresh out of the hospital after being treated for an infected cut, so she donned a light-colored suit that faded into the gray background; combined with the bright studio lighting that left Zarsan perspiring, she provided a less-than-commanding presence. Kairas, in sharp contrast, appeared calm, tanned, and telegenic.
[[File:Image 2022-07-04 114358463.png|left|thumb|Breandán M. Kairas following the conclusion of his inaugral ceremony. Federation Day, September 2, 1964.]]
Following the conclusion of the vote on September 1, 1964, Siinkar won the popular vote in a landslide victory with 88.3% of the votes out of a record number of ballots cast. No oppositions both in the Saedikar, and the Saenad were given to Kairas' victory.
On the cold morning of Federation Day, September 2, 1964, Breandán M. Kairas took the oath of office. After the tumultuous events of previous year, and the tense political situation in both chambers of the Saekari, Kairas realized the importance of ensuring that his inaugural address would reach out to both his supporters and opponents. In the days and weeks before it was to be delivered, he carefully studied famous speeches, such as the Declaration of Federalization, and copied their terse, vivid style. In the speech, he focused almost exclusively on domestic problems such as rapid inflation, unemployment. In addition, he claimed that his election signaled a fundamental generational shift in Mirhaime:<blockquote>''"We observe today not a victory of an individual, but a celebration of freedom and liberty—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change . . . Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Mirhaimians—born in this century, tempered by the constant threats of war's desolation, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.”''</blockquote>And he recalled the Federation's origins:<blockquote>''“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of the Mirhaimian people.”''</blockquote>Siinkar surrounded himself with liberal academics and, in light of the support he had gained, moderate conservatives who believed in the benefits of strong executive government, rational planning, and social science. His cabinet, dubbed the "New Pioneers" filled the Eryas Palace, and the Saekari Complex. They were accompanied by a stream of young, wealthy professionals who came to dominate Ymirodraeth's administrative sectors, adding to the tone of an Eryas Palace seeking advice from the nation's finest and brightest.
Domestically, Kairas presided over the worst economy since the start of the century with growing inflation and an economic recession prior to his inauguration. And as such, early in his first term as Paragon, Siinkar began implementing new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economics policies—colloquially referred to as "Doika" (Renovation)—advocated tax reduction, economic deregulation, and reduction in government spending. The four pillars of Kairas' economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and tighten the money supply in order to reduce inflation. He was also a major advocate for nationwide educational reforms which culminated in the Ovon Act which improved teachers' wages, and provide support to children with disabilitites, or those who live near or under the poverty line regardless of race, income, disability, ethnicity, or proficiency in Fefsen. The Act allowed for improved educational quality on public schools in districts with a majority non-Fefsen population, and allowed for enough flexibility for them to adapt within the boundaries of federally-established standards.
Over his first term from 1964 to 1969, the economy saw a reduction of inflation from 12.5% to 2.4% and an average real GDP annual growth of 4.6% (compared to the negative growth prior to 1963). Kairas enacted cuts in domestic discretionary spending, cut taxes, and pushed for a reorganization program of the Realm Defence Forces which improved bureaucratic efficiency, and eliminated the need for an increase in budget even through the additional deployment of Mirhaimian forces in Sarvimaa throughout the 1960s. The national debt was also lowered by 38% from 1964 to 1969,
Thus, by the end of his first term, the economic recession which had griped Mirhaime for over a decade was practically no more as the Mirhaimian economy begun to see growth for the first time since 1958. This revival of the economy, lowering of inflation, and reduction of taxes ultimately won him yet another landslide victory in his re-election campaigns of 1969, and 1974. According to a poll conducted by the group ''Zaral,'' approval ratings for Siinkar throughout all four of his terms averaged around an astounding 93%.
Internationally,
Simutaneously, however, he spearheaded efforts to normalize relations with the Kingdom of Tretrid, and allowed the resumption - and later the intensification - of trade between the two states. Despite this near cessation of hostility, however, military spending increased by an average of 9.3% per year from 1969 to 1979.
Kairas also championed and signed the bill that authorized the wide expansion of the "Undod" (Unity) Highway System which was first proposed and constructed during the Paragonship of ''Henwas Wren'' (1940-1950). He justified the expansion project in the Realm Highway and Transportation Act of 1972 as essential to Mirhaime's homeland defense strategy, and national security. It was believed that major population centers would be heavily targeted in the event of war with the construction of the highways allowing for massive evacuation operations to occur as well as facilitate the rapid deployment of manpower, and resources from one location in the country to another.
Kairas' goal was to create a comprehensive network of easy-to-access highways which would be beneficial for military operations and would also provide a measure of continued economic growth for the nation. And as such, the system could also be used as a runway for airplanes, which would be beneficial to defensive efforts which later became an integral part of Mirhaimian air defenses stratagem with aircrafts capable of STOL being developed and fielded in the 1980s.
During his tenure, railroad transportation was also prioritized with the construction of a high-speed railway network as stated in the Realm Highway and Transportation Act of 1972. Initially built to connect distant regions with Loren SAR with the goal of aiding economic growth, and development. Starting with the Loren-Blaithnad Express Line (515.4 km, 320.3 mi) in 1975, the network has expanded to currently consist of 2091.6 km (1,299.6 mi) of lines with maximum speeds of 230–320 km/h (145–200 mph). Metropolitan areas such as Loren, and Blaithnad also features 158.4 km (98.5 mi) of mini-sioul lines.
=== Intervention in the Domin War ===
With the political upheavals and subsequent outbreak of violence between ethnic-Yallo rebel forces under the unrecognized Socialist Republic of Bours, the oil-rich Phoenixian territory of Afragola quickly collapsed into a three-way civil war as several key cities fell to rebel hands whilst federal forces struggled to establish a cohesive defensive plan. In subsequent months, the average cost of petroleum worldwide suffered as extraction and refining operations in the region of Afragola was threatened by rebel attacks which were steadily increasing in frequency and scale as the separatist Socialist Republic of Bours sought to damage the Phoenixian war efforts. The Mirhaimian Tylach Oil and Petroleum Company (TOPEC), formed in 1904 by Duke of the Canton of Tahri and Knight of the Esteemed Order of our Liege Zakan of Stritau Jatan K. Eskrine was amongst those heavily affected with the intentional sabotages of Oilfields Miran, Kian and Myr. As one of the largest Mirhaimian-based petroleum corporation, attacks on facilities owned by TOPEC severely affected fuel costs in Mirhaime. By January of 1967, the price of oil had risen nearly 150%, from 3 Inters per barrel (MI19/m<sup>3</sup>) to nearly MI7 per barrel (MI50/m<sup>3</sup>). Bilateral talks between the two governments of Mirhaime and Phoenixia began shortly after as the Breandán M. Kairas Ascendancy attempted to halt the worrying rise in cost - culminating in the Oro Convention and the subsequent signing of the Orokian Agreement of 1967 on February 4, 1967.
Initially unwilling to dedicate forces to the war in Afragola, the Saekari approved an emergency military aid package worth 168 million Inters to the Phoenixian Federal Armed Forces including armored vehicles and aerial assets with the hopes of successfully. However, as the month of November and December passed by with no sizable gains and mounting casualties, the situation became untenable as rising oil prices combined with a rise in violence against ethnic-Fefsen spurred pro-war sentiments amongst the population. Following weeks of debates in both chambers of the Saekari, on February 2nd 1968 the Saenad supported the military actions in a 73–27 vote. On that same night of February 2nd, in a televised speech from Empire Hill, Lewydh Breandán M. Kairas announced to the public the final decision of the Chancellery and the Saekari and the imminent deployment of Realm Defence Forces to Afragola: <blockquote>''This military action, taken in accord with International Forum resolutions and with the consent of the Saekari Mirhaimeneg, follows months of constant and virtually endless diplomatic activity on the part of Mirhaime and our partner Phoenixia as well as many other foreign observers and partners only to conclude that the Yallo rebels were unwilling to negotiate a ceasing of violence on equal grounds. Others traveled to Afragola in a variety of efforts to restore peace and justice......''
''......With us having exhausted all reasonable efforts to reach a peaceful resolution, we have no choice but to defeat this threat by force so that law and order may be restored in Afragola. We will not fail''
''As I report to you, preparations are underway for the immediate deployment of selected military units in all service branches of the Realm Defence Forces to Afragola are underway. We are determined to defeat this threat for the sake of restoring justice and order to this territory where many of our kin reside and are being targeted in indiscriminate attacks by rebel forces - attacks which are still being carried out as I am reading this speech and they will continue unless we take action.''
''Our objectives are clear: the rebellion in Afragola will be halted. The legitimate government of the territory will be restored to its rightful place, and Afragola will once again be free. When peace is restored, it is our hope that those whose who met in battle will live as a peaceful and cooperative members of this new society, thus enhancing the security and stability of the region.''
''Some may ask: Why act now? Why not wait? The answer is clear: The world could wait no longer. Sanctions, embargoes and tireless military operations on the side of our Phoenixian partners, though having some effect, showed no signs of accomplishing their objective. Actions were tried for well over 5 months, and we and our allies concluded that what we were doing alone would not be sufficient.''</blockquote>With orders to dispatch two naval battle groups to the Afragolan Channel, where they were ready by 8 April. Additional troop transport vessels for the Armada Marines were also sent to the region with preparations for the deployment of additional Realm Guards having been. A total of 48 Realm Air Force TKC-62B from the 21st Fighter Wing at Airbase Tyreneg, Tenkir, landed in the Phoenixian territory of Belporto and immediately commenced round-the-clock air patrols of the Afragolan Channel to discourage further advances by the sea whilst acquiring information on rebel defenses. They were joined by 36 TKC-62Bs from the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing originally based in Pankow, Loren SAR. Having joined strength with reinforcing elements, the contigent flew 2,000 combat missions and dropping four million pounds (1,800,000 kilograms; 1,800 metric tons) of munitions from April 12 to April 20. Military buildup continued from there, eventually reaching 223,000 troops, approximately 1/4 of the combined active personnel of the Realm Defence Forces. Much of the material was airlifted or carried to the staging areas via fast sealift ships, allowing a quick buildup. Public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment.
=== Tenkir Namhaid Crisis ===
The latter half of 1985 saw one of the most violent period on Tenkirian history settling in with the outbreak of the First Namhaid War following the brutal assassination of the Patriarch of the Kermac Syndicate at a restaurant in a neighborhood contested by the Kermac and Beddoe families. In the aftermath, the Kermac Sisters (Carys Edarr Kermac and Ceri Awrae Kermac) took control of the Syndicate through the line of succession and declared a state of war against the Beddoe Syndicate who they believed to have been involved in orchestrating the assassination. Shortly after the declaration of war was given, the Commission of the Four Syndicates, a committee established to oversee all activities of the city's four largest syndicates failed at its mission of mediating conflict between the Beddoe and Kermac. The first open 'firefight' between the two Syndicates occured in Zimrah Restaurant (43 Rhafan Street) on the gray morning of March 4, 1985. According to eye-witnesses, a grey Jugen van rushed down the street at high speed and halted in the front of the restaurant whereafter six individuals armed with automatic weapons disembarked and began firing indiscriminately at the patrons of establishment from the outside before being chased away by returning fire from within. In the aftermath of 48 seconds long shooting, eight were killed and twelve more were wounded. Though police later called it an act of domestic terrorism and promised swift and merciless deliverance of justice upon the perpetrators, their warnings did not seem to sway the Kermac Sisters of the Kermac Syndicate whose members were the target of the deliberate attack.
A retaliatory strike was called soon after. The target of this attack was to be the Consili Pub, a popular gathering place for Beddoe Syndicate members. However, as the attack underwent, the attackers soon found out that their targets were not unprepared as the quick raid turned into a brutal firefight that spilled over to the street as horrified pedestrians either flee or joined into the fighting out of self defence. Police were swiftly mobilised to answer the threat, however poorly armed and equipped with small arms and riot gears.
As the situation devolved into a three-sided firefight with no end in sight, Mayor Ywern of the City caved in and called for the intervention of the Self Defence Battalion D36 who swiftly mobilised some 140 soldiers and 12 armored vehicles to resolve the situation. Upon the sight of the armored vehicles, many syndicate members dropped their weapons and surrendered. Those who attempted to flee were gunned down. In the aftermath of the brutal firefight which lasted for a painful 53 minutes, 38 people were killed and 63 more wounded (including 8 police officers).
===Recent history===
The 21st century saw the Federation becoming increasingly active in regional political affairs as it engaged in further cooperation with traditional partners such as Taiyo and Sarvimaa. Under Lewydh Alor Marlais Myron, who was elected into office by a majority vote in the Saenad in 2000, the Federation underwent a period of economic modernization with a stimulus plan of over 78 billion Inters. Among the major Mirhaimian political projects of the early 21st century are the the energy transition for a sustainable energy supply, the "Debt Brake" for balanced budgets, measures to increase the fertility rate (pronatalism), and high-tech strategies for the transition of the Mirhaimian economy, generally summarised as "Industry 4.0".
In April, 2022, Mirhaime, along [[Volscina]], [[Sarvimaa]], and [[Antora]] formed the [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance]] in response to increased concerns about global and regional security, particularly in the face of the 2022 [[Rodenia]]-[[Axdel]] Crisis

With gun ownership explicitly stated in the ''1650 Constitution'' Mirhaimian gun culture is considered to be unique amongst Novaran countries. Firearms are widely used in Mirhaime for self-defense, hunting, and recreational uses, such as target shooting.
Line 391 ⟶ 458:
The laws pertaining to the acquisition of firearms in Mirhaime are amongst the most liberal in Novaris. Mirhaimian gun laws are primarily about the acquisition of arms and not ownership. As such a license is not required to own a gun by itself, but a shall-issue permit is required to purchase most types of firearms. Bolt-action rifles do not require an acquisition permit and can be acquired with just a background check. A reason is not required to be issued an acquisition permit for semi-automatics unless the reason is other than sport-shooting, hunting, or collecting. Permits for concealed carrying in public are issued sparingly. The acquisition of fully automatic weapons, suppressors, and target lasers requires special permits issued by the cantonal firearms office. Over-the-counter sale of hollow-point and soft-point ammunition is limited to hunting.

'''The Mirhaime Realm Guards (MRG)''' is the command responsible for the operational readiness of the conventional ground forces of the '''Mirhaime Realm Defence Forces (MRDF)'''. It maintains regular forces units at bases across Mirhaime, Sarvimaa, and Taiyo, and is also responsible for the Army Reserve, the largest component of the Primary Reserve. The Mirhaime Realm Guards has approximately 2,600 tanks in operation, including the TG-67K and TG-90NKs, which form the backbone of their mechanized armor and infantry forces.
