'''Staynes''' is a country within [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. It shares a large borders with [[South Staynes]] and [[Nation/Xagrurg|Xagrurg]] to its south, [[Caltharus]] to the east, [[Axdel]] to the west and [[Vothetria]] to the south-east.
The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the Juliakese Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations.
Staynes' terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and western Staynes. However, there are uplands in the south (for example, the Zycannes and the mountainous Petenta District) and in the southwest (Zycannes). The capital is [[Sani Bursil]], which has the largest metropolitan area in both the [[United Kingdom]] and the world. Staynes' population of over 155 million comprises 32.8% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around Sani Bursil, the West Coast, and conurbations in the Midlands, the Far North East, and Horkalo, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.
The Kingdom of Staynes ceased being a separate sovereign state on the 29th of December 1515, when the [[Union of the Thrones]] merged the two thrones under one name, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Caltharus to create the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia. As a result of the [[Auroran Imperial War]], on the 6th of June 1975, [[South Staynes]] seceded from the Kingdom.
Staynes is a [[wikipedia:Developed country|developed country]] and is considered to have a [[wikipedia:World Bank high-income economy|high-income economy]] and is categorised as high in the [[wikipedia:Human Development Index|Human Development Index]]. There is a total GDP per capita of $40,597 in Staynes and its dependencies. Staynes has remained as a highly influential [[wikipedia:Core countries|core country]] especially influencing events in [[Aurora]]. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state.
==History==
===Last Interglacial period===
Between fifty two and thirty thousand years ago, seventy percent of Staynes was underwater. The interglacial period marked sea levels as high as 46 meters. The sea resembled the shape of a deflated balloon, connecting Lake Lamberta to the western coast. Around 50,000 BC, the Strathepolic people reach the continent as the Strathepolic Ridge submerged (ridge connecting modern Justelvard to the modern Staynish-Caltharus border). A few hundred years later they began to explore the continent beyond the reaches of their local settlements. By 49,000 BC, there was three very distinct divides in the Strathepolic people; Jubrites, ''Maltites'' and Kosites. The Jubrites had settled within the Jubrione, the Maltites had settled in and around the Zycannes and the Kosites had migrated eastwards.
To date, Lake Lamberta is one of the last remnants of the last interglacial period. Its one of the largest salt water bodies in the world.
===Predecessor Kingdoms===
====First Kingdom of Maltervenia====
Maltervenian culture is believed to have been its own culture as early as 35,000 BC, whilst still distinct to the Strathepolic culture. It is believed this culture refined itself as early as 10,000 BC, becoming one of a few successors to the extinct Strathepolic culture. Within the 5th millennium BC, numerous kinship groups emerged. In the very first years of the 2nd millennium BC, the first kingdom of Maltervenia formed. The kingdom was ruled by the Jubrita dynasty for three hundred years until it was taken over by the Bagrin dynasty. Their dynasty thrived on slaves from across the continent, building ancient temples, castles and their footprint across the lands for another seven hundred years until the death of its last king.
====Interregnum period====
Upon king Volkemur's death in 998 BC, the there was inheritance dispute between his eleven sons, and after a short conflict which saw his eldest son killed, Maltervenia split into ten smaller kingdoms. The names for these kingdoms were Horkon, Avelon, Qinlon, Jublon, Redrug, Miyaron, Lampelon, Corstan, Lambolon and Tuke.
[[Image:Ten Kingdoms after the collapse of the First Kingdom of Maltervenia.PNG|left|thumb||300px|Ten kingdoms after the collapse of the first kingdom of Maltervenia (c.995 BC)]] [[Image:Kingdoms of Redrug, Jersia and Tuke (est. 660 BC).PNG|right|thumb||300px|The kingdoms of Redrug, Jersia and Tuke before the second kingdom of Maltervenia (c.660 BC)]]
From 998 BC to 765 BC, the ten kingdoms had become three after several marriages for geopolitical benefits; the Kingdom of Redrug, the Kingdom of Jersia and the Kingdom of Tuke.
In 972 BC, the kingdoms of Qinlon and Avelon became the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Lutder of Qinlon and queen Nasama of Avelon. In 901 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Corstan, taking control over the area. In 863 BC, the kingdoms of Jublion and Lambolon became the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon after the marriage of king Pippindu and of Jubliak and queen Bourna of Lambolon.
Around 800 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Horkon, taking control over the area. In 795 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon declared war against the kingdom of Miyaron. During the conflict, Miyaron allied itself with Lampelon, creating a capable resistance to the stronger eastern country. In 789 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon became the United Kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Norgel of Qinlia-Avelon and queen Vessala of Jubliak-Lambolon. After the United Kingdom defeated the kingdoms of Miyaron and Lampelon in 765 BC, taking control over the area; the united kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon became the kingdom of Jersia.
From the years 765 BC and 650 BC, nothing happened between the three kingdoms. In 650 BC, the kingdoms of Redrug and Jersia became the second Kingdom of Maltervenia after the marriage of king Redunnia II of Redrug and queen Serenia of Jersia.
====Second Kingdom of Maltervenia====
After the eventual death of Redunnia II and Serenia, their son, Lampedris I was crowned the first king of the new country. The country existed until its collapse in 452 AD, taking over more land until it clashed with the borders of the Kormistazmic Empire, the Xagrurgian Empire and the Ethalrian Empire.
====Second Interregnum Period====
After the death of King Lancelyn in 452, the land was torn into thirteen petty kingdoms. From 452 until 553 there were a series of battles that is defined under the [[War of the Thirteen Kingdoms]], resulting in four states; Luradia, Klovia, Trentath and Staynnica. During this war, outside kingdoms including the Kormistazmic Empire, the Ethalrian Empire and the Xagrurgian Empire made significant advances into the cumulative territory that made up the former Second Kingdom of Maltervenia.
There was a period of relative peacetime within the four kingdoms following the end of the war. When the Segar dynasty ended after the death of King Sebastian in 810, he was was replaced by his cousin Otho Dohaeris as King of the Luradans. Otho's mother, who was King Sebastian's aunt had died a year before. She married the second son of King Raghaus I of Klovia, a move sought to bring the two kingdoms together. It was soon revealed that Otho's mother had an affair with a commoner making Otho's claim illegitimate. Otho had a younger cousin on his fathers side, prince Randal, who's late father married a deceased Luradan princess, making him the legitimate ruler. This sparked a major multi-theater civil war fought alongside an independence movement which was was a three-way battle for the throne between Otho Dohaeris, his cousin Randal Dohaeris, King Perceval of Trentath who had a legitimate claim as well as King Raghaus I of Klovia, the cousins' shared grandfather.
After the war, there remained two kingdoms, Luradia and Staynnica. There was a period of peace from the start of the 10th century until 955 after the death of King Rædulf of Staynnica at the hands of a Luradian plot to take control of Staynnica. The two kingdoms went to war, with Luradia invading Staynnica and defeating the oldest son Ræulf at the battle of Kretan in 959. The second son Rænnulf reigned in turn, but was defeated by King Botulf six years later at the battle of Dog Lake in 965. The third son, Rænnulf, died of dysentery during 970. The fourth and last son, [[Pip the Gallant]], fended off Luradan invasions and soon thereafter orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the capital of Luradia, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.
====Kingdom of Staynnica====
The Kingdom of Staynnica was the far superior Kingdom in the latter stages of the second integrum period. It controlled all of the north and west coasts, but did not have control of the land between the current borders of Staynes, Caltharus and Vothetria. The second, less known Kingdom was Luradia, and controlled the eastern land of Lake Lamberta, all the way down to Kirdintayos.

'''Staynes''' is a country in [[Aurora|Northeastern Aurora]], making up one of the four constituent countries of [[Great Morstaybishlia]], two of which, [[Valeria]] and [[Kaltariezh]], it borders to the south and east respectively. It also shares a border with [[Drakaland]] to the southeast. Often regarded as the Cradle of Aurora due to its central location between the [[Molvian Corridor]] and the [[Horn of Kaltariezh]], the capital [[Sani Bursil]] is the largest, most diverse and prosperous city in the world, with over fifty million residents. It is also the seat of the [[Parliament of Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlian Parliament]] and the [[Lambertus VII|monarchy]]. The city sits on the west banks of [[Morsa Lake]], the second largest freshwater lake in the world, draining into the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]] to the north via the River Rombar. A tiny part of the lower [[Zycannes]] are in the south, seperated from the [[Bolvinian Plateau]] by [[Bishop's Pass]], the main migratory corridor to the continental south. The largest river, the Kuthern, flows from the Zycannes through mainly flat country, draining into the Western Sea. At the rivermouth sits [[Redrugus (city)|Redrugus]], the second largest city with over five million residents, named after the national heroine [[Rugus the Red]] whom led the defence of the early Estenes settlements of [[Peragen#Impelanza|Impelanza]] against the Kingdom of Dumnowes. The majority of the north coast is uninhabited because of the Malderva Rainforest. Climates are layered horizontally, some larger than others, with a strip of [[Wikipedia:Tropical rainforest climate|tropical rainforest]] on the north coast, then [[Wikipedia:Tropical savanna climate|tropical savanna]], a transitional strip of [[Wikipedia:Semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid]] leading onto [[Wikipedia:Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]], which makes up the majority of the country; and [[Wikipedia:Humid continental climate|humid continental]] straddling the mountainous interior.
Horkalo:
Population of 7,891,127.
Capital is Fort Staynes, other cities are Horilan.
The area has been inhabited by sentient, anatomically modern [[Cava|cava]] for possibly as much as a million years, though records begin suggesting that early civilisation was made up of cava and [[Species#Elf|elf]] as far back as the [[Wikipedia:Bronze Age|early Bronze Age]]. Although [[Species#Humans|humans]] were present in Eastern Aurora, they were first introduced in the northwest of Staynes by the Impelanzan Empire around the 1st century BCE to mine [[Wikipedia:Tin|tin]]. This land, Estenes de la Aurora, literally 'Tinlands of the Sunrise' is where Staynes derived its name after half a millennia of [[Wikipedia:Semantic change|semantic shift]]. Native cultures were establishing their own civilisations at this time, namely Dumnowes, Toransla and Rombarow, which spoke forms of the [[Wikipedia:Brittonic languages|Malterva language family]] alongside [[Wikipedia:Breton language|Kaltareg]] in Kaltariezh. After the [[Toré eruption]] destroyed Impelanza and plunged the world into global [[Wikipedia:Volcanic winter|volcanic winter]] in 512 CE, the Staynish Revolution overthrew the ruling Impelanzan elite the following year, installing Alzar I as the first King of the Staynish, who worked with the [[Thaerism|Thaerist]] branch of [[Tunseism]] in supporting one another into power. King Fredmund I began the Staynish conquest of Toransla in 664, lasting 20 years and concluding with Fredmund II signing the Treaty of the River Kuthern, vastly expanding the Staynish realm south. Toransla was nearly completely assimilated save a mountanous holdout in the Zycannes by the 9th century, and Rombarow fell in 972 following a lengthy siege of [[Sani Bursil|Sanned Bursil]]. The Staynish Empire began looking to the seas by the mid 15th century, claiming [[Necraties Islands|the Necraties]] and [[Eskomia]] and establishing trading outposts in [[Arcturia]]. In 1501, [[Lambertus III|King Lambertus III]], later ''the Great'' would take sides in the [[Kaltariz Civil War]] by marrying Azenor Cadoret, a contested claimant to the Kaltariezh throne, and winning the war against her uncle Kirus Cadoret by slaying him in single combat at the Battle of Rouekador in 1505. Lambertus and Azenor's son, [[Lambertus IV]], would inherit rule of the Staynish-Kaltariz Empire and unified them politically in 1515, forming [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]].
Corstania:
Population of 7,124,569.
Capital is Fort Ejard, other cities are Monefuse.
Staynish administrative divisions were established for the first time properly in 1919 after the signing of the [[Great Morstaybishlia#Morstopackia and the Great War (1897-1917)|Great Charter of the Liberties]] and transition from [[Wikipedia:Absolutism|absolutism]] to [[Wikipedia:Constitutionalism|constitutionalism]] two years prior. This saw the dissolution of the Dukedoms and establishment of the Shires and Territories, the first level of elected administration below Parliament itself. As of the 2024 census, Staynes had a population of 155.8 million, 32.5% of the overall Morstaybishlian population. It has a total area of 1,834,160 km² (708,173 sq mi). 81% of the population comprises humans, whilst 10% are elf, 4% are cava and 5% is split between a plethora of other species. Thaerism is the dominant religion, though the nation is shifting towards [[Wikipedia:Secularism|secularism]].
Jubrionas:
Population of 2,553,816.
Capital is Credita.
