''The Federation of the Mirhaimian Realm'' (Fefsen: ᚠᛟᚾ-ᚨᛁᛗᛖ ᛗᛁᚱᚺᚨᛁᛗᛖ×ᛊᚨ. ''Ansa: Fon-aime Mirhaime'sa''), commonly referred to as ''Mirhaime (Fefsen: ᛗᛁᚱᚺᚨᛁᛗᛖ)'', is a country located in Novaris consisting of fourty constituent states, two special metropolitan regions and nine islands. It shares a land border with Tedeschi, and Celannica to the East as well as a maritime border with Tretrid to the South, and Galevimland to the West.
Various Fefsen-speaking tries have inhabited modern Mirhaime since antiquity with the very first human, and later elven presence in the country being recorded around 500,000 years prior in caves around the Ga's of Tenkir, and Ytak. These tribes later developed into some of Novaris' oldest advanced civilizations beginning with the human Rytak civilization (1600-1700 BU) in modern day Loren'ka, the Sybak civilization (1600-1500 BU) on Sentinel Island, and the Fefsen-speaking elven Ostka civilization (1400-1300 BU) in modern day Ytak'ga. These major civilizations later fractured into independent teyrnions 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 Feldrot Ke'sed, usurper of the former Patriarch of the Aeter 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 "Anarchy of the Realm". Owing to the efforts of Patriarch Hera J. Siinkar Ke'sed, the Republic of Lestek underwent a period of rapid militarization, and reformation during the early stages of the 17th century. These efforts later culminated in the unification of many munincipalities and states into a single polity following the Declaration of Federalization in 1635 which established the Trinterian Confederation as a unified front to both combat foreign invasions, and stabilize the Realm. With their resounding success, the Confederation turned their gaze to reunite the Mirhaimian Realm, a task which they succeeded following the capitulation of the Aeter Imperium, and the ratification of the Treaty of Daemir which firmly set the stage for the establishment of the nation-state of the Federation of the Mirhaimian Realm, a democratic federal constitutional republic in 1650.
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, as well as provides it the means to militarize throughout the 19th and 20th century.
With a major economic recession, and numerous catastrophic political events, Mirhaime underwent a period of depression from the late 1950s to early 1960s which reached its height with the Coup of Draal, an attempt to overthrow the central government in Loren'ka SAR by disgruntled Realm Guards unit in 1963. The coup, though defeated, created the neccessary political atmosphere for liberal elements within the Ansan Coalition to gain momentum, resulting in the election of Jalo R. Siinkar to the position of Paragon of the Federation in 1964 after a landslide victory in the democratic processes involved. Under Siinkar, the Federation stabilized its economy, and begun a period of growth which still lasts till this day.
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.
NOTE TO SELF: OKIE SUMMARY REWRITTEN. MIGHT AS WELL STREAMLINE IT LATER.
=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).

Archaeological excavations have revealed the existence of humans in what is now Mirhaime as early as the Paleolithic age. Stone artefacts excavated in Potza'ga have been claimed to date to 0.78 Mya. ''Homo erectus'' fossils dating to around 500,000 BC have been found in caves in Tenkir'ga and
Thus, Trinteria became the home of some of Novaris' oldest advanced civilizations and is considered the birthplace of the Mirhaimian civilization, beginning with the ''Rytak civilization (1600-1700 BU)'' in modern day Loren'ka, the ''Sybak civilization (1600-1500 BU)'' on Sentinel Island, and the Fefsen-speaking elven ''Ostka civilization (1400-1300 BU)'' in modern day Osten'ga. These civilizations possessed writing, all of which were some form of runes which later evolved into the modern Furak Script which has been in use since the Realm first united 2,000 years ago. Though the unearthed texts are too fragmentary for the reconstruction of the political landscape and can't support the existence of a larger state, contemporary Tretridian, and Sarvian records suggest the presence of a single state under a "Great Emperor" based in mainland Trinteria. However, it is likely that this State, had it even existed, suffered a catastrophic collapse which gave way to the birth of the eras known as ''Ancient Trinteria'', and later ''Classical Trinteria''.
===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'ka instituted
Trinteria's lack of political unity resulted in frequent conflict between Fefsen states. The ''Kilishandra War (675–629 BU)'' was the most devastating intra-Fefsen war, won by the ''Aeter Hierarchy'' (modern day Loren'ka and Bafaas'ka) and signaling the end of the ''Kyri Republic'' (modern day Potza'ga and Tenkir'ga) as the leading power in ancient Trinteria. Beginning in the sixth century BU, the ''Aeter Hierarchy'', based on the thriving Loren'ga, became a dominant military, cultural, and economic power in ancient Mirhaime, absorbing several smaller cities and kingdoms through either calm diplomacy in the League of Daitak or brutal wars of conquests (ie. The War of the Azure Coast, 353 BU - 322 BU between the Aeter Hierarchy and the Oro Empire.).

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 Second Anarchy. Several factors, including a need for mutual defense led to the creation of the short-lived Trinterian Concordance, however, treaties were rarely honored as rivalries between noble houses derailed any chance of peaceful reunification. The House of Siinkar, 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 Jatak Siinkar nar Lestek'ha, a period of drastic changes ensued as the Army of the Republic of Lestek'ha 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 Ga.
By 1630, the Republic of Lestek was the largest political entity in Western Mirhaime, having united 5 cities, 56 duchies, and 3 Ga's 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 forcce. During the invasion of the Duchy of Drukan'ha by the Kingdom of Naki in 1635, the Republic organized 23 of the 38 nations that formed the Trinterian Realm into a new Trinterian Confederation that embarked on a six-year political and military struggle. The decisive military victory in Antai'tagh gave the Confederation renewed legitimacy as the independent religious order in Geith voiced their support for Siinkar's cause. After a brief period of relative calm, the Trinterian

'''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. This also includes a sizable arsenal of many artillery systems, including approximately 1,700 self-propelled TH-75NK howitzers and 720 helicopters and UAVs of numerous types, are assembled to provide additional fire, reconnaissance, and logistics support. The Realm Guards trace its lineage from the Trinterian Banner Army which was established following the establishment of the Trinterian Commonwealth. Following the collapse of the Commonwealth, the Banner Army splintered into different warring factions that either came to swear allegiance to their native Ga or come to form mercenary companies. Amongst these remnants emerged the Army of the Republic of Lestek'ha which later evolved into the Trinterian Confederacy following its establishment in 1625. The subordinate Trinterian
In a 2011 survey conducted by ''Oryx Mirhaime'', 93% of all Mirhaimian citizens support the conscription system.
