''The Federation of the Mirhaimian Realm'' (Fefsen: ᚠᛟᚾ-ᚨᛁᛗᛖ ᛗᛁᚱᚺᚨᛁᛗᛖ×ᛊᚨ. ''Ansa: Keffrysyans na Sairna Mirhaimeneg''), 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 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 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.
Line 150 ⟶ 149:
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 neccessarynecessary political atmosphere for liberal elements within the Ansan Coalition to gain momentum, resulting in the election of Jalo R. SiinkarKairas 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.
Line 164 ⟶ 163:
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 Ytak'ga in Central Mirhaime. The oldest ''Homo sapiens'' fossils from mainland Mirhaime are of Middle Pleistocene provenance, and include isolated tooth fragments from Osten, and Oro. Teeth attributed to ''Homo sapiens'' from the Late Pleistocene have been found at Bafaas, and from the Early Holocene at Naoned, and Loren. By about 2,000 BC, the development of agriculture in the Zisak'drah and Don'drah floodplains led to the flourishing of the Don'drah culture, notable for its bronze casting used to make elaborate bronze drums. At this point, the early Trinterian kingdoms appeared, and the culture's influence spread to other parts of Novaris, including Maritime Novaris, throughout the second and first millennium BC.
 
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 one of the earliest democratic system of government, ruled by a decentralized government comprised of council elders voted into power by the city's citizens.
 
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.).
[[File:Image 2022-03-27 194320.png|thumb|The first gathering of the Court of Heaven headed by Emperor Aran, Year 1 AU.]]
Following the annihilation of the Utmo Dynasty which had dominated the Hierarchy for more five centuries, the usurping ''Aran Nima Feldrot nar Loren'ka Ke'sed'' assumed the leadership of the ''Aeter Hierarchy'' and proclaimed a holy union to combat an invasion from the ''Itak Horde'' from the East in 17 B.U, a union which conveniently allowed him to solidify his position in the ''League of the Realm''. Undefeated in battle, the young Aran had not only defeated the barbarian invasion, but had also conquered the historical homeland of the Itakis in the land which became the Ga of Lium by 10 B.U. Following a two year period of stabilization, Aran proclaimed a crusade with the approval of the ''Church of Glaithon'' which he helped found in Geith and succesfully united the Realm under a single polity, proclaiming the establishment of the Trinterian Commonwealth in what became ''Year Zero'' in the Realm Calendar. A thirty years-period of stabilizing the political situation, and ensuring the continued unificiation of the Realm ensued, wherein great changes were brought to the Realm from compulsory education to the ''Proclaimation of Faith'' which solidified the ''Glaithonist faith'' as the dominating religion in Trinteria. What ensued was a golden age for the Realm and the rapid spread of the Fefsen language and Fefsen culture in the territories conquered by following Monarchs. Trinteran Commonwealth science, technology, and mathematics are generally considered to have reached their peak during the First, Second, and Third Era of the Commonwealth.
 
=== War of Varausian Subjugation ===
Line 209 ⟶ 208:
 
===Third Era of The Commonwealth===
It is universally agreed upon that the Third Era of the Commonwealth begun following the ascension of the young Princess Ainye Elmear nar Loren'kaYmirodraeth Ke'sed to the Drake Throne in 985 in a period known as the Ainyean Era, and ended following the end of the reign of Empress Freya Niahm Aein nar Jisak'ha Ke'sed in 1400, an event which also marked the end of the Freyan era and the beginning of the Third Era of the Commonwealth.
 
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.
Line 215 ⟶ 214:
Under the militant Empress Freya, political power was slowly stripped from the Church of Glaithon and into the hands of the Diets, and the Inquisition which were revamped and expanded. It was also under her command that the Banner Army successfully completed their 500-year attempt at the subjugation of the Northern Marches as the lost ''Kingdom of Nordlys'' and came to swear its ''"unwavering loyalty and devotion to the cause of the Drake Throne, and whomever chosen by the Divines to mount it.".''
[[File:Image 2022-03-27 191947.png|thumb|240px|left|Freya Niamh Aein nar Jisak'ha (7 September 1306 – 24 March 1400), the first Matriarch of the Aein Dynasty, and Empress of the Trinterian Commonwealth from 17 November 1338 until her death in 1400.]]
Though generally considered to be a period of great military, scientific, and political changes, political discord and civil disobedience began to emerge, culminating in the event known as ''The Grand Schism'' wherein the noble house of Jelias deposed the Elmear Dynasty, and installed their Patriarch, Eimear Jelias nar Loren'kaYmirodraeth, as Emperor of the Commonwealth before being removed from power by a loyalist army led by the young Freya Niahm Aein nar Jisak'ha who were crowned Empress following the death of the heirless child-Emperor Aran Elmear nar Loren'ka.
 
=== The Grand Schism ===
 
===Fourth Era of The Commonwealth===
According to modern historians, the Fourth Era of The Commonwealth began with the death of Empress Freya Niamh Aein nar Jisak'ha in the year 1400, marking the first stepping stone in the degradation and eventual dissolution of the Commonwealth as a sovereign governing entity. Though her death was quickly followed by the ascension of her eldest and most excellent daughter, Ilia Ella Aein nar Loren'ka, contemporary political commentators and modern historians alike agree that her naiveté and inability to handle court politics without the assistance of a handful of corrupted advisors led to the removal of policies and laws ratified under her mother's rule, making backdoor malfeasance a common occurrence within all branches of the government. It was not uncommon during this period to hear or see political rivalries being resolved via petty skirmishes carried out by private militias, a historically prohibited form of a organized force of arms legalized by Ilia in 1413.
 
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 241 ⟶ 240:
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 Hija'taHidran, Ilia Wyk nar Osten'ka. The invasion was to commence by winter's end in 1385 with an Army of roughly 100,000 backed by 40,000 auxiliaries were assembled from the ranks of the 22nd to the 33rd Imperial Legions. This Army was reinforced by an additional 40,000 raised from local tribes who also provided an additional 15,000 auxiliaries.
 
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.
Line 254 ⟶ 253:
=== Collapse of The Commonwealth===
 
The collapse did not occur overnight, but rather a decade-long process in which Ga's who had been a part of the Commonwealth for thousands of years seceded from the Court of Heaven and revoked their ancient oaths of allegiance to the Drake Throne, which then sat alone in the possession of whoever controlled the military of the Ga of Loren at the time. Banner Army units broke rank, and came to swear their service to the Lords of their native Ga's, whilst the flotillas of the Banner Armada descended into infighting, and piracy. When its Patriarch. Lord Deku Gottin nar Zuruk'ha, declared his intention to depart from the Court of Heaven and establish dominion over his own Ga in 1482. And as such, the Ga of Oro became the first to break away from the Commonwealth. This abrupt secession was expected to be met with fierce opposition both militarily and politically from the Emperor and his Diets, however, only minor resistance was made as the Diets under the child-Empress Camrhyd Ke'drai failed to rally enough manpower, and materiel to respond in force. This response (or rather lack thereof) proved to be disastrous politically for the the regime ruling from the imperial citadel in Loren'ka as its constiuent states begun to secede en masse whilst the crown was powerless to halt the inevitable collapse. The Commonwealth officially ceased to exist in 1484, its constituent states coming to form their own states independent from the authority of the Drake Throne. The Commonwealth Diets were promptly disbanded, and was later replaced by the League of Trinteria which stood as council wherein the newly formed kingdoms and republics of Trinteria could come together and discourse in relative safety. The Drake Throne itself became the seat of power for the ruler of the Ga of Loren which predominantly consisted of hereditary monarchs of the Aien Dynasty which had reigned over the Commonwealth prior to the collapse since the coronation of Freya Niamh Aein nar Jisak'ha as Empress. Under the Aien Dynasty, the Aeter Imperium which encompassed the majority of modern-day Loren'ga remained a relatively influential state in the future affairs of the disunited Mirhaimian Realm.
 
===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 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 Confederation, with the support of Geith, commenced a new armed struggle against the Aeter Imperium, rejecting its claims on the Drake Throne and the Mandate of the Divines in the process. After a devastating four-year struggle, the Ga's of Loren and Bafaas fell to Confederate hands. The child-Emperor Sedagh Aein Feldrot nar Loren'ka was forced to peacefully abdicate in the Treaty of Daemir that saw the establishment of the Mirhaime Federation, a federal semi-presidential republic under the leadership of the Ansan Coalition, its first Paragon being Hera Jatak Siinkar nar Lestek'ha Ke'sed. Any states in the Fefsen-speaking world yet to be under the control of the Federation soon yielded, and were incorporated into the union as constituent states.
 
=== 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'ka. Thus, for the next decade, the Federation was engulfed in constant warfare with its neighbors as it sought to solidify its position in the region, and with itself as insubordinate groups sought to thwart the Saenad's newly established grip on the Realm under the rule of Siinkar and the Ansan Coalition. Despite a precarious start, the Federation was able to establish permanent peace in 1662 after defeating the now-defunct Venkire Republic. Having revived national pride and restored stability, the Saenad and subsequent Paragons continued where Siinkar left off, ushering in a period of political cultural and economic renaissance known as ''Tairas Soikan'' (translit: Resurging Peace) that lasted for well over two centuries.
 
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.
Line 269 ⟶ 268:
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'ka since his election into office in 1740 was fraught with controversies and was the subject of discontent from the populace and elements within the Mirhaimian Realm Defence. Numerous attempts were made in the first year to suppress the power of the Saedikar and Saenad so it may be concentrated into the hands of the Paragon. The power struggle reached its crisis on 11 January of 1744, when Paragon Kual intended to dissolve the country's Saekari (Congress) in response to calls for impeachment within both chambers, although the constitution did not give the paragon the power to do so. Kual justified his orders by the results of the referendum of November of 1812, although many in Mirhaime both then and now universally believe that referendum was not won fairly. In response, the Saedikar and Saenad declared the paragon's decision null and void, impeached Kual and his premier, and proclaimed Meiri Jyrak nar Tenkir'ga and Tadgh Jasan nar Loren'ka to replace them as Paragon and Premier respectively. On January 1744, demonstrators removed militia cordons around the Saenad and, urged by their leaders, took over the Mayor's offices and tried to storm the garrison of the Loren'kaYmirodraeth Citadel Defence Guards.
[[File:Image 2022-05-13 145203389.png|thumb|360px|right|"Constitutional Revolt", a painting by Jadagh Tarak describing the failed pro-Paragon calvary charge that commenced on the Jidak Square.]]
 
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'ka's history since its liberation in 1650.
 
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 nar Jisak'ha conversing with Realm Air Force Lieutenant Egi Saak nar Tenkir'kaModraeth of the 345th Tactical Fighter Wing during a visit to the airbase in April 2nd, 1963. Five months before the event that came to be known as the Coup of Draal.]]
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'ka to assist. However, as they were approaching the Fort at around 9:12 PM, the specialists were forcefully apprehended, and detained by members of the RCG. While in custody, the three specialists learned of the plot of the coup d'etat and set about to overwhelm their captors, and forewarn loyalist forces. At around 10:30 PM, the three specialists managed to remove their cuffs, and escape from their cells after managing to overwhelm a guardswoman whom they violently attacked, and tied up. Thereafter, the three specialists managed to free several more loyalist members of the Fort who were detained. With the plan set in motion, a daring push towards the communication facility of the base were conducted were made. There, the specialists managed to send a wireless signal to Fort Zuvan who then proceeded it towards the Tale Citadel. Afterwards, the specialists and guardsmen freed from captivity fortified themselves within the base's main nuclear shelter facility wherefrom they continued to harass rebel forces till relief came a day after. The specialists, and loyalist guardsmen were awarded with Gallantry Crosses with Palm for having played an instrumental role in the suppression of the coup attempt.
 
Having lost the element of surprise, the RCG pushed Regiment E33 'Zarul' towards the westerm outskirts of Pankow'ka by 12:22 AM wherein they attempted to disable Fort Zuvan but was met with great resistance from the Fort's garrison, the Regiment of Foot E38 'Dragoons'. The Guardsmen of Company ZB-2, Battalion D8 who stood between the rebels and Fort Zuvan were estimated to be around 60, but they managed to repel the initial thrust and kill seven rebels who attempted to scale the walls and run across the grass. As the rebels trucked in reinforcements to attempt to cordon off the northern perimeter of the Fort, the remainder of Company ZB-2 were mustered and managed to break the hastility-fortified rebel positions by 1:30 AM. Though rebel mortar positions continued to fire at the Fort, they were disabled by local self-defense forces who overwhelmed, and apprehended them. Remaining positions hastily removed themselves from the sector, and rejoined the main column of attack.

Having lost all elements crucial to the success of their plot, the RCG and Regiment E33 made a final push towards Downtown Pankow'ka where they attempted to seize key positions that could potentially allow them direct access to Loren'ka via Highway A-55. By 2:30 AM of the same day, however, Battalion D3 of Regiment E38 mustered its entire force to defend key chokepoints from coup attacks in coordination with Battalion D5, and D8 as well as detachments of local self-defense forces. They were verbally encouraged by citizens who managed to catch wind of the coup attempt as banners were waved in support of loyalist forces.
 
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. Following a speech by the the City's mayor, Madame Bethan Zaragh nar Pankow'ka, which gave the citizenry much insight into the gravity of the situation, resistance reputedly intensified in grounds held by rebel forces as ambushes by armed citizens severely hampered the rebel's logistical efforts on top of severely weakening their morale.

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.
Line 312 ⟶ 311:
''...Though I have never been one to falter in the face of overwhelming odds, to leave office as Paragon of the Federation in such abrupt manners torment me immensely. But it is my duty as such to put the interests of Mirhaime, 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 Paragon of the Federation effective at morning tomorrow. Premier Broin will, in accordance to the constitution, assume the position of Paragon until a replacement could be voted into office.''
 
''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.''</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 administration; 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'ka 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 administration 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 Jalo SIinkar, and his vocal attempts to stabilize the administration through constitutionally democratic means.
Line 319 ⟶ 318:
With the resignation, and death of the former Paragon, the Carwal administration was slowly dismantled as Premier Broin assumed the position of Paragon 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 Administration, and allowed pro-reformation liberal groups headed by Jalo R. Kairas nar Pankow'ka, the former Mayor of the city of Pankow, to skyrocket in popularity. Subsequently, on April 5, 1964, SIinkar announced his candidacy for the paragonship nomination. Though some questioned Siinkar's 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 Ytak'ga Aran Ythar Garsan, and Senator Cadwyn Fanar. But regardless, Siinkar 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.
Line 327 ⟶ 326:
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, Jalo R. 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 Loren'kaYmirodraeth'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.
Line 343 ⟶ 342:
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'ka SAR with the goal of aiding economic growth, and development. Starting with the Loren-Bafaas 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 Bafaas also features 158.4 km (98.5 mi) of mini-sioul lines.

===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 Paragon Jatan Naksin Kyr nar Loren'ka'', 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".
 
Battlemaster of the Guards, and Knight Commander of the Sovereign Military Order of Pankow'ka, ''Anrah Witra SiinkarKairas nar Pankow'ka'', was elected as the 74th Paragon of the Federation in 2010, and is presently in her third consecutive term. Under Paragon Anrah, the Realm Defence Forces underwent a period of modernization with an emphasis on aerospace defence and maritime domain awareness. This was accompanied by further investments in the Mirhaimian high-tech R&D and manufacturing sector.
 
On September 2, 2020, the Mirhaime Federation celebrated the 370th anniversary of its establishment with a large military parade and cultural artistic performance in Siinkar National Stadium in the capital of Loren'ka.
 
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
Line 401 ⟶ 400:
The federal government consists of three branches of power:
[[File:Image 2022-06-11 045551870.png|thumb|A view of the Saekari Complex at night. Informally referred to as "Empire Hill", the Saekari Complex was constructed under the reign of Empress Freya Niamh Aein Ke'sed during the Second Era of the Commonwealth. Following the formation of the Mirhaime Federation, the site was selected as the meeting place of the Saekari and the seat of the legislative branch of the Mirhaimian federal government.]]
* '''Legislative''': The Mirhaimian Saekari (Congress) is the legislative branch of the federal government. The bicameral Saekari consists of the Saenad (also known as the Senate) and the Saedikar (also known as the Realm Assembly) responsible for making federal laws, declaring war, ratifying treaties, and deciding on the budget.. The Saedikar also has the seldom-used power to remove an incumbent Paragon and their council from office. The Realm Assembly currently has 385 members, the number of members in each state depends on the population of that state. Each state has at least one representative. Each member of the Realm Assembly has a term of 4 years. A person who wishes to become a member of the Saedikar must be at least 25 years old, and a Mirhaimian citizen for at least 10 years, must have completed his/her mandatory military service and must be a resident of the state he or she represents. There is no term limit for each member of the Realm Assembly. The Saenad (Senate) has a total of 76 senators, each constituent state (Ga) has 2 senators. Each senator serves an 8-year term. Every two years, one-third of the seats in the Senate are re-elected. A person who wishes to be elected as a senator must be at least 30 years old, must be a Mirhaimian citizen for at least 15 years, must have completed his/her mandatory military service and must be a resident of the state he or she represents at the time of the election. Each chamber has separate powers. The Saenad is tasked with advising and approving paragonship appointments, while the Realm Assembly is responsible for submitting bills from members of the Saedikar and raising the national income. However, it takes the consent of both houses to pass bills that become laws. The Constitution also provides for various powers to the Saedikar: the power to levy and collect taxes to pay off debts, to provide the means of defense and for the general welfare of the Mirhaime Federation; borrow money; establish regulations for commerce with other countries and between states; establish uniform regulations on naturalization; issue money and set par value; punish forms of fraud; established the post office and public roads, promoted scientific progress, established the courts of the Saektar Anavezet , defined and punished piracy and other felonies, declared war, organized and supported support the army, supply and maintain the navy, legislate the territory and navy, supply the militia, arm and maintain the discipline of the militias, enforce the special law system separate in Loren'ka Special Adminstrative Region, and enact the laws necessary to exercise the powers of the Saedikar.
* '''Executive''': The Paragon runs the executive branch of the federal government. The Paragon is the head of state, the head of government and the commander-in-chief of the military, as well as the chief diplomat. The Paragon also has the power to veto legislative acts before they become law, and appoints the Cabinet and other officials to help administer and enforce federal policy and law. The Paragon, under the Constitution, is also responsible for ensuring the observance of the law. The Paragon has the power to veto laws passed by the Saekari. The Paragon can be impeached by a majority of the Realm Assembly and removed from office by a two-thirds majority in the Saenad on charges of "treason", bribery or other felonies and acts of misconduct. The Paragon cannot dissolve the Saekari or call special elections, but has the power to pardon those accused under federal law, issue executive orders, and appoint (with Saenad approval) Saektar Anavezet  justices and federal judges. Although the Paragon has the power to introduce bills (such as the federal budget), often the Paragon must rely on the support of members of the Saekari to campaign for bills. Once bills are passed in both houses of the Saekari, the signature of the Paragon is required to become law, which is when the Paragon can use his or her veto, though infrequently, to overturn them. The Saekari may overturn paragon decisions by a 2/3 vote. The Premier of the Mirhaime Federation is the second-ranked executive officer in the government. As the number one person in the order of paragonship succession, the Premier shall assume the office of paragon in the event of the paragon's death, resignation or removal from office. The ministers of 15 different ministries, selected by the paragon and approved by the Senate, constitute an advisory council to the paragont called the "State Council". Council members are responsible for running various government ministries, bureaus, and departments such as the Department of War, the Department of Justice and the Department of Foreign Affairs. In addition, there are a number of organizations classified as Executive Offices of the Paragon including the staff of the Eryas Palace, the Office of the Trade Representative, the Office of National Drug Control, the Department of Scientific and Technological Policies and more..... There are other independent agencies such as the General Department of National Intelligence, the National Space Administration (MNSA), the Food and Drug Administration, or the Environmental Protection Agency.
* '''Judiciary''': Consists of the Saektar Anavezet (Supreme Court) and lower federal courts in which judges are appointed by the paragon with the approval of the Saenad. The branch's mandate is to interpret the law and possibly overturn laws it deems unconstitutional. The head of the judicial branch is the Saektar Anavezet, composed of nine judges. The Saektar Anavezet hears cases involving the federal government and interstate litigation, has the power to interpret the Constitution, and declares legislative and executive actions at all levels of government to be in infringement of the Constitution, as well as having the power to nullify laws, setting a precedent for later legislation and rulings. Below the Saektar Anavezet  are the Saektar Gavize (Courts of Appeals), and below that are the district courts, which are the courts that conduct the most trials under federal law. The federal district court is where cases go to trial and judgment. The Court of Appeal is the place where appeals are heard in the district courts. The Saektar Anavezet  reviews appeals from the courts of appeals and from the states’ Saektar Anavezet’s (regarding constitutional issues), as well as organizes hearings in a number of other cases.

=== Mirhaime Realm Armada ===
[[File:USS Tripoli (LHA-7) underway in the Caribbean Sea on 3 August 2020 (200730-N-CD453-1035).JPG|thumb|MRAS Jaosar, the flagship of Armada Region I, underway in the Atlantian Sea off the southern coast of Sentinel Island (Mirhaime). 10 July, 2018.]]
The '''Mirhaime Realm Armada''' trace their origins to the Banner Armada of the Trinterian Commonwealth which was established in earnest in 992 under the reign of Empress Aine Elmear Feldrot nar Loren'ka Ke'sed. Following the collapse of the Trinterian Commonwealth, vessels of the Banner Armada either swore allegiance to their native land or descended into piracy, and pillaging coastal settlements. They were either absorbed into the Mirhaime Realm Armada following its establishment on June 3, 1650 or destroyed in the following years. The Armada's first major transformation into a blue-water navy came when it inherited more than 290 sea-worthy flotillas from the former navies of constituent states. Split into several naval regions, the Mirhaime Realm Armada maintains approximately 180 commissioned vessels in its service, including a battle group of the Admiral Zion Sedar-class destroyers, the Srogram-class corvettes, the Tinsak-class attack submarines, and the Mirgotek-class Amphibious Assault Ship. These vessels, equipped with fleet-defense systems form an integral part of Mirhaime's missile defense umbrella. The naval aviation force consists of about 70 fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The Armada Marine Force has about 300 tracked vehicles including assault amphibious vehicles.
 
=== Mirhaime Realm Armada Marine Forces ===
'''The Mirhaime Realm Armada Marine Forces (MRAMF)''', commonly referred to as the '''''Mirhaimian Marines''''' are organized under the control of the Mirhaime Realm Armada as a N''ational Strategic Maneuver Force'', the Marines perform amphibious operations. The Mirhaimian Marines trace their origins to the Banner Armada Marine Forces, which was established on April 20th, 1367 in the homeport of the ''Grand Armada of the Commonwealth'', Bafaas'ka. [[File:006gPFcGly1gm3hesns9gj34002o0x70.jpg|thumb|Larskalor operatives of Task Force 467 "Siinkar's Children", Northern Special Forces Command during an exercise in Deshag'ha, Otleek Mountains, Varaus'ga.|left]]
Following the collapse of the Commonwealth, the Marine Forces remained in the service of the Free City of Bafaas'ka till it was absolved into the Federation as a Special Metropolitan Region. The Marine Forces was merged into the Mirhaime Realm Armada following its establishment on June 19, 1850 with an initial strength of 26 commissioned officers, 54 non-commissioned officers, and 300 marines. As of 2022, the Marines maintain a force of approximately 29,000 personnel organized into two divisions and two brigade combat groups under the Armada Marines Command. The Realm Armada Marines possess approximately 300 tracked vehicles including assault amphibious vehicles, main battle tanks, and self-propelled artillery. As a N''ational Strategic Maneuver Force'' under the Armada, their main task are to carry out amphibious operations, and other missions include defense and amphibious operations in islands under the control of the Mirhaime Federation as well as training reserve forces. The Marines also maintain a small contingent in Sarvimaa.

Though often plagued with problems economical, and social, successive political regimes from the First Era of the Commonwealth to the administrations of the Federation have always promoted artistic creation. The creation of the Department of Cultural Development and Preservation (DCDP) in 1964 helped preserve the cultural heritage of the country and make it available to the public. The Department of Cultural Development and Preservation has been very active since its creation, granting subsidies to artists, promoting Mirhaimian culture in the world, supporting festivals and cultural events, protecting historical monuments. The Mirhaimian government also succeeded in maintaining a cultural exception to defend audiovisual products made in the country.
 
The rapid industrialization and urbanization of Mirhaime in the 18th and 19th century have brought many changes to the way modern Mirhaimians in many regions live. Changing economics and lifestyles have led to a concentration of population in major cities, especially the capital Loren'ka, and large industrial cities such as Bafaas'ka and Potza'ka, with multi-generational households separating into nuclear family living arrangements. A 2018 study conducted by MHMonitor found that Mirhaimians are amongst the greatest consumers of alcohol on a weekly basis compared to the rest of the world. The primary liquor consumed being ale, beer and the traditional Zurao (a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash). Mirhaimian beer consumption per person stands at 115 litres (25 imp gal; 30 common gal) in 2017 and remains among the highest in the world
 
=== Music ===
Mihaime has a long and varied musical history. Throughout all eras of the Commonwealth, myusic experienced golden eras thanks to the patronage of many empresses and emperors who employed many talented musicians and composers to populate their royal court. The most renowned composers of each Commonwealth era were Ceri Atrud nar Osten'ka of the First Era, Gwennlyn Bekan nar Giker'ha of the Second Era, Carwyn Fion nar Ilai'ka of the Third Era, and Clodagh Zarai nar Loren'ka of the Fourth Era. During the one hundred year-long Anarchy period, Mirhaimian musical creation lost dynamism, but in the next century following the formation of the Federation......
 
Mirhaimian composers played an important role in music from the 17th to early 20th century, which is considered to be the era of Siinkarist, and romanticism of both life, and warfare (especially in defence of one's homeland, and the struggle of a soldier). Music adhering to the siinkarist philosophy heavily emphasized on a strong NATIONAL identity, defence of one's family, and country. Many songs, and compositions following such philosophy often evolve into patriotic songs. This is supported by a sort of romanticism pioneered by composers of the early 18th century which places emphasize on a fascination with the past and the supernatural, the exploration of unusual, strange and surprising sounds. This period was also a golden age for operas.
Line 489 ⟶ 488:
Amongst the revival efforts of the 19th century, Ythar Daksin contributed most in reintroducing the Zabak and reviving traditional Mirhaimian folk music from different regions.
 
Melody of Lights, a popular nationwide songwriting competition organised annually by the Mirhaime Realm Broadcasting Union (MRBU), sees all 42 federal Ga, and Special Administrative Regions compete for the title of Best Original Song. Accompanying Melody of Lights are localized competitions to decide a Ga's reprensentative band/singer on a national level. The longest running champion of Melody of Lights is Loren'ka SAR, followed closely by Yentak'ga, and Uso'ga.
 
Melody of Lights is credited to be a major influence in the revival of Mirhaimian folk music, and advancement of modern music genres in Mirhaime.
