The United Socialist States of New Illyricum (Illyrian Iberic: Soçaelestoes Unitoes Estatoes de Novo Elyreco, Illyrian Iberic pronunciation: [ʃoɪsaɪʟeʃ'toɪʃ uni'toɪʃ eʃta'toɪʃ də no'ʋo eʟeʁe'xo]), commonly known as New Illyricum or NI, is a communist nation on the southwest of Ecros led by Grand Marshall of the Union Luçeo Mareo. It borders the Andaluzian Sea to the west and Terranihil to the north. New Illyricum also borders Pavulturilor to the east and Kwazulu-Ciskei to the south. New Illyricum has a population of 42.5 million people, making it the seventh largest country by population in Ecros, most of whom live in western and northern Illyricum. The city of Porto Ignaçio, New Illyricum's capital and most populous city, serves as the cultural and political capital of New Illyricum and has since its rechristening from Illyricus to Porto Ignaçio in 1848 at the founding of New Illyricum. Several other major cities, including Etruricum, Turis, Secundia, Marinicum, Andrafolia, and Ferunia lie in the central region of Illyricum. New Illyricum spans 1,660,308 square kilometers (641,049 square miles) and is split into 19 states each of which maintains a large amount of regional autonomy from the larger union.
Around 1400 BC several city-states began forming on the Illyric Peninsula around the Bay of Fish, beginning the period of Ancient Illyricum. Ancient Illyricum was dominated by various city-state coalitions, reaching its height of power around 375, following the end of the Taulish War, with the First Libillic Coalition unifying much of the region. However in-fighting between coalition leaders led to the Tudino War in 336. The war lasted from 336 to 210, with off and on fighting continuing between shifting alliances until the Battle of Pelopix in 210 and the establishment of the Second Libillic Coalition.
In 197 BC the Romanyan Republic invaded Ancient Illyricum, led by Sejanus Brutellus, and defeated the Second Libillic Coalition under Arenegix at the Battle of Arens and the Battle of Marantus River. Romanyan power lasted until 636, when after a long era of political turmoil, civil strife, and foreign invasions, the Northern Romanyan Empire lost hold of Romanyan Ballacia and Illyricus to a group of rebels led by Cornelius Appius. Cornelius reestablished the Monarchy of Illyricum and founded the Kingdom of Illyricum. The Kingdom struggled with political turmoil and with numerous invasions and incursions by neighboring nations which lasted well until the First Italian War and the rise of the Rashidun Caliphate. In the Illyrian War of Succession, the atheist forces, led by Severus I fought the Catholic Church of Illyricum backed Julia II. Severus emerged victorious, however this victory only brought disorder and chaos upon Illyricum, which fell under the rule of Appius Carrentus, who committed a series of massacres against the Catholic and Cauvunianist population of Illyricum.
The instability in power and the religious and political divisions in Illyricum allowed the nation to become susceptible to foreign invasion, which came in the War of the Trout against the Empire of Montcrabe who invaded in 1660 with aid from the Viceroyalty of Ilírica, and would eventually capture Illyricus in 1666 and overthrow the Illyrian government and establish the Viceroyalty as rulers of the land. The Viceroyalty ruled as an extension of the Montcrabin rule which lasted until 1783, when a wide scale revolution began to wrest power away from the Viceroyalty. After seven years of turmoil, war, and religious conflict, the Montcrabin forces were ejected from Illyricum, and the country fell into disrepair. In 1799, Lucio Lento took power and established the First Republic of Illyricum. The Republic remained in power until 1819 when a coup led by Romulonysyos Anyastynaxos Maximus established the Second Republic. The Second Republic's rule was marked with oppression and war, as Tito Moceo led the Illyrian Socialist Revolutionary Coalition in the Illyrian Communist Revolution against Romulonysyos. After the Battle of Armorolaus the coalition took Illyricus, renaming it to Porto Ignaçio, and the coalition founded the United Socialist States of New Illyricum, with Tito Moceo winning the 1848 New Illyrian marshall election.
In 1852 Tito Moceo commissioned Luçeo Alo to lead an expedition to capture the Protestant Republic of The Eisley, and in 1854 he established the Socialist Republic of The Eisley, which was forcibly economically tethered to New Illyricum by the Marinicum Accords. The Second Călăneasan War would last from 1859 to 1860 and end with the September Agreement, which allowed New Illyricum to annex much of its eastern territory in wake of the war. In the 1880s the New Illyrian depression racked the country, before Publio Çarçeo led the nation out of the depression in the late 1890s. In 1945 New Illyricum joined the South Ecros War and led the Călăneasan Offensive into Pavulturilor, however communist forces were defeated and New Illyricum was forced to pay significant reparations by the Treaty of Lavignole. The Eisley struggled to repay their reparations and collapsed into civil war, which would only end in 1956 when New Illyricum annexed The Eisley.
New Illyricum would become unstable in the mid 2000s following the breakout of the First Ferunian Separatist War in 2006, forcing Beneçito Foestolo to take emergency control. The war would end in 2008 with the separatist Republic of Ferunia being mostly defeated, however violence continued and escalated in 2013 with the Second Ferunian Separatist War. In 2023 the Aberso–Illyrian War broke out with Abersiania on September 23, and in the only major conflict of the war, the Second Battle of the Claufenese Sea, New Illyrian forces were defeated. This defeat led to the signing of the controversial Pretoria Peace Accords, which forced New Illyricum to submit to Alliance of Central Ecrosian States (ACES) audits and to elect new leadership. In the 2024 New Illyrian marshall election Democratic Party candidate Luçeo Mareo narrowly defeated Vanguardist Party Ernesto Luçeo, leading to further escalation of the nation wide protests and increasing violence in Ferunia and Trurnia in connection to the Free Ferunian Army (LAF).

Etymology
The name of New Illyricum (novo elyreco) derives from Illyricum, the name of the region surrounding the Illyric Peninsula which came into usage during the Romanyan Empire. The term originally came from Illyrius, a Romanyan mythological figure who was believed by Ancient Romanyans to have left Romanya and settled on the Illyric Peninsula. Following the end of the Illyrian Communist Revolution, the word "New" (novo) was affixed before Illyricum, according to communist leader Tito Moçeo "to symbolize a new beginning for this union."
History
Prehistory
Ancient Illyricum
Around 1400 BC several city-states began forming on the Illyric Peninsula and the coast of Andrafoliam. The first major city-states in the region fully organized around 1200, including Tudino on the Tudino Peninsula, Pelix on the western coast of the Illyric Peninsula, and Libillia on the Andrafolian coast.
Romanyan Ballacia
Kingdom of Illyricum
Early kingdom
Cornelius Appius entered Illyricus on June 16, and two days later Cornelius was crowned by Patriarch Johannus Paulus of the Catholic Church of Illyricum as Cornelius I, establishing the monarchy and the Kingdom of Illyricum. In order to avoid military strife with major leader Quintus Nonus, Cornelius I arranged a marriage between Nonus' son Julius and his own daughter Cecilia. Nonus and Cornelius I then in 637 began a campaign to reconstitute the previous lands of the Illyrians.
As Illyrian troops advanced east towards the city of Secundia, Cornelius I met with Romanyan Emperor Livinius, who had recently taken full control over the Northern Romanyan Empire following the death of former co-Emperor Barabulus. Cornelius I managed to secure peace with Romanya on the promise that Illyrian troops would not advance into Romanyan Balebosia, which allowed Illyricum to turn its full view on the Trevenii tribe which controlled much of central and northern Illyricum, led by a variety of local chieftains but most principally Monoacer. Cornelius I and a large contingent Illyrian forces were attacked in May 637 by a large force of Trevenii led by Monoacer near the town of Fero. Surprised and outnumbered, Cornelius I and the Illyrians suffered heavy casualties until Nonus arrived with a relief force, driving away the Trevenii to Secundia. Illyrian forces would besiege Secundia for a month before in the night Monoacer and his forces fled away into the Andaluzian Mountains, where he would later die and much of the Trevenii force dispersed. Their victory at Secundia allowed Illyricum access to the gold in the Andaluzian Mountains, which opened trade routes to the east with the Rashidun Caliphate as well as to the southwest with the Romanyan Empire. Nonus and Cornelius I would defeat the Trevenii led by Derondicer at the Third Battle of Turis in March 640, allowing them to capture Turis and later, after the First Battle of Mount Silenus, capture Etruricum on July 11, 642, cementing Illyrian control in central Illyricum and forcing most of the Trevenii up towards the Senola River.
Nonus and Cornelius then turned to the south, leading a force to Nosterus where they overwhelmed the local tribes in 644 before advancing towards Ferunia and Trurnia. However in January 645, with heavy supply problems and exhausted troops, the Illyrian army was surprised and defeated at the Battle of Sonoso Hill by a coalition of Ferunian and Trurnian tribes. This defeat endangered Illyrian trading routes to the south, and Cornelius I was forced to turn to increasing trade to the east. Fearing lest it be captured by Islamic forces, Cornelius I and Nonus organized an expedition in 648 to Italus, a strategically placed trade city in the far east near the Khermon Mountains. Along the way to Italus Cornelius I established the city of Menon to help ensure Illyrian control in the region. In 650 Illyrian forces captured Italus, defeating the minimal local tribes and establishing securely a trade route to the east. Cornelius I would remain in the east until in 652, when Nonus was killed in a skirmish outside of Italus, which deeply threatened Cornelius I's military power. Cornelius I managed to secure a tenuous peace with Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan and returned to Illyricus. Shortly after returning to Illyricus, on January 3, 653, Cornelius I was assassinated by a group of nobles who had seen their chance to claim power following Nonus' death. After a short power struggle, Publius I of Illyricum, one of the conspirators against Cornelius I, took power and immediately began to organize Illyrian forces for another set of campaigns. Publius I decided to move against the Romanyan Empire and co-Emperors Livius Titus and Liviulus the Elder, invading Balebosia on the Apollonian coast. Illyrian forces captured Vesevio in August 653 before advancing on Gaelici. However in the east the Rashidun Caliphate and Caliph Uthman Ibn Affan invaded eastern Illyricum in January 654, partially on account of the brutal treatment of muslims on order of Duke Gregorius Orenorius as well as to secure the plentiful gold mines in the region. Publius I remained in the west for several months, capturing Gaelici in May and securing peace with the Romanyan Empire before organizing a large force to relieve Duke Orenorius who had been under siege for almost three months. In an attempt to relieve Italus, Publius I led a daring attack on June 23, trying to take the Islamic forces by surprise. However an unexpected dust storm took over the battlefield and the disorganized Illyrian troops scattered and were almost entirely eliminated. Publius I withdrew quickly afterwards to Laconis near Menon in central Illyricum where he regrouped forces for another relief attempt. Uthman Ibn Affan pressed the advantage, sending a large force under Muhammed Ibn Laden to pursue the Illyrians. Publius I was unable to muster another major force as many of the Illyrian nobility had withdrawn their contingents following the massive defeat earlier in the year, and Italus would fall in January 655 following a year-long siege. Publius I would negotiate for peace, ending the war on May 30, and was forced to surrender large amounts of land in eastern Illyricum up to the city of Laconis.
Publius I would spend the remainder of his seven year reign trying to secure the loyalties of the nobility and to gather support for further campaigns, however Publius I would fall ill in winter 660 and died in early December, on his deathbed he granted the throne to the younger of his two sons, who would be coronated Titus I several weeks later. Titus I would rule only for about three months before a plot, partially administrated by his own wife Mariana, placed his brother on the throne as Marcus I of Illyricum in late March, 661. Publius I was killed soon after allowing Marcus I to take full control of the nation. Marcus I soon realized that he would not be able to control the powerful local nobles and decided instead to establish a relative balance with the nobility, allowing them to operate with almost complete autonomy in exchange for a constant supply of troops as well as a minimal stream of commerce. Nothing else of note happened in Marcus I's reign following that, as some small rebellions in Apollonia and Etruricum prevented him from launching any major assaults. Marcus I would be assassinated in May 669 by a group of powerful nobles looking to install a weak King to grant them even more autonomy. This King, Marius I failed to establish any real power during his five year reign, allowing the Kingdom of Andrafoliam to grow strong in the north, and he would be killed while on campaign in the Andaluzian Mountains. Marius I was succeeded by Titus II, the former Earl of Armorolaus. Titus II's reign would be marred by his constant fits of drunken rage as well as a disastrous campaign in 675 to conquer Andrafoliam, where he was defeated at the Battle of Rahino by King Marcellus I of Andrafoliam. However it was this ineptitude that allowed him to reign for eleven years from 674 to 686, as it gave the nobility autonomy and power in their respective regions. Titus I would die in 686 from sickness and the throne passed through the marriage of his daughter Dionysia to Quintus I. Upon taking power, Quintus I realized the precarious and weak position that Illyricum was in politically, with powerful Andrafoliam to the north, the quickly growing Kingdom of Ferunia and Trurnia to the south, which was expanding in the wake of the collapsed Northern Romanyan Empire, and the Umayyad Caliphate to the east. Quintus I managed to gather a large force to secure Illyricum's border in 688, however as he was marching south in March 689 towards Nosterus to reestablish Illyrian control in the region, he was assassinated by his cousin, who abandoned the expedition and disbanded the army before returning to Illyricus where he took the crown as Julius I. Under Julius I's Illyricum began to lose territory to the south and east, including Nosterus and Laconis. After ruling for less than half a year, Julius I was assassinated on order of Patriarch Johannus Gregorianus, and replaced by Lucius I, the former Earl of Menon, who immediately began gathering troops for another campaign. Lucius I advanced south and defeated Ferunia and Trurnia at the Battle of Nosterus in January 689, reconquering the city. Lucius I would campaign in the region for two years, at one point laying siege to Ferunia itself, however a defeat at the First Battle of Pelagos Forest in December 691 eventually led to a peace treaty. Lucius I then moved east, securing the border there for several years before returning west to Illyricus where he would fall ill and die in 696. Lucius I's son Gnaeus I would take the throne shortly after and, while his reign would last fourteen years until 710, Gnaeus IV mostly remained in Illyricus, where he helped improve local infrastructure and rebuild the ancient walls. Gnaeus I also constructed the Palace of the Fish in the Capital Quarter of the city, which has served as the ruling house of many Illyrian rulers since its completion in 708. Gnaeus IV would be succeeded in 710 by his son-in-law Marcellus I who would rule until 716 before abdicating on order of Patriarch Johannus Gregorianus.
Gaius Claucus, a noble from Turis, would be crowned as Gaius I on order of Johannus Gregorianus. In 725 he began the first major military campaign since the reign of Lucius I, invading Andrafoliam, reestablishing Illyrian control over Perfulia in 728 and beginning the Siege of Andrafolia in June 730 before falling ill and returning to Illyricus where he died in August. Gaius I's son, Publius II would complete the campaign, conquering Andrafolia in March 731, ending the Kingdom of Andrafoliam and stretching Illyrian control up to the Vaktria. Publius II would spend most of the rest of his reign securing the eastern borders before his death in 747. Publius II's son and successor, Dionysyos I, often known contemporarily and historically as "Dionysyos the Bad," was eager to construct lavish public works and to raise a large army to attack Ferunia and Trurnia, which led him to extract exorbitant taxes from the nobility. After raising a major army in 748, he marched east to Laconis where he defeated the Umayyad army under the leadership of Caliph Marwan II at the Battle of Laconis. However the army only stayed together for a short time before it disbanded in 749, after several nobles, led by Dardanius Reponius, Duke of Vesevio revolted and pledged their support to Dionysyos' younger sister Princess Elenia, Duchess of Laconis as queen. Dionysyos moved to quell the revolt, defeating Reponius at the Battle of Veli and exiling Princess Elenia. Opposition to Dionysyos reached new heights in 751 after it was revealed that Dionysyos had been involved in an affair with his own mother Rafaelia, which disgraced the entire House of Claucus and forced Patriarch Marcus Chlorus to excommunicate and later execute Dionysyos and his daughter Dionysia the Innocent.Augustine dynasty
Patriarch Chlorus convened the nobility in 751 to select the next king of Illyricum, and decided to institute for the first time an royal election to choose the next king. The fifteen electors, chosen from amongst the Illyrian nobility, convened and eventually voted to select Marcus Augustus, the Duke of Perfulia, as the next monarch. Marcus founded the Augustine Dynasty and during his reign established the Imperial Council, a group of nobles who advised the king on military and domestic affairs. Marcus was succeeded by his son Titus III in 756, who proceeded to launch a new series of military campaigns against the Abbasid Caliphate, which had been recently established by the Abbasid Revolution in 750. Titus' stable reign allowed Illyricum to increase and maintain wealth surpluses and the kingdom reached both new territorial and ideological heights.
Titus died in 789 and was succeeded by his son Julius II. Julius, known as the Ugly due to a variety of birth defects, was sick throughout most of his twelve-year reign, which allowed his chief advisor Julius the Red, to gain considerable influence over the kingdom. King Julius died in 802 and Julius the Red convened the Imperial Council to vote to install Publius Augustus, Duke of Andrafolia, his grandson and the youngest son of Julius II, as the next king. However Patriarch Julius Antoninius overruled the council's decision, instead installing the elder Lucius II as king. The ensuing succession war eventually culminated in the Battle of the Morian Bridge in 804, in which Lucius defeated Julius the Red and Publius Augustus, capturing them both and later executing them. Lucius ruled stably until his death in 831, shortly after the death of his only legitimate son Marius Augustus, Duke of Armorolaus. He was succeeded by his nephew Claudius. Claudius was unable to maintain most of the Illyrian army which had been built of under the reign of Lucius due to gold supply shortages in the Andaluzian Mountains. Claudius' reign was also fraught with court intrigue and scandal, as his chief advisor Marcellus Matellius, Duke of Illyricus was tried and executed for stealing royal funds for over a decade. Claudius' successor Quintus II took control in 844, however his reign was quickly rocked by the Savottan Plague in 850, which spread from the Savottan Empire north into Illyricum. The plague killed off large amounts of the Illyrian population and devastated much of the regional trade and economy. The plague lasted until 857 and destabilized Quintus' entire reign, which ended in 863.
Quintus was succeeded by his son-in-law Livius I who immediately set out to reestablish Illyrian economic and military hegemony over the region. Livius first set out to strengthen trade routes in southeastern Illyricum, reconquering Italus and invading the Batanga Kingdom and the Abbasid Caliphate in the 870s. The Abbasid–Illyrian War lasted over two decades, during which time Livius defeated the Abbasids most majorly at the Second Battle of the Senola River in 875. Livius' reign saw Illyricum reach its territorial height, expanding into modern day Pavulturilor, Enjola, and Terranihil. Livius also established the Marian–Augustine dynasty in the Kingdom of Ferunia and Trurnia by marrying his daughter Livia into the Ferunian royal family.
Livius was succeeded for a short time by his son Gaius II and later his grandson Lucius III in 912. Lucius' reign saw once again a period of decline and corruption as the Illyrian central government became less and less powerful. In 922, Lucius was assassinated in a coup led by Marcus Perilus, Duke of Illyricus, who established himself as the Imperial Governor of the Imperial Council. The 922 royal election resulted in the establishment of Gaius III, nephew of Lucius, as king. Perilus effectively ruled the nation, overpowering Gaius, with the eventual goal of installing his son Junius Perilus, Duke of Urilus, as king. Perilus ruled powerfully until the Famine of 925 eventually led to his deposition and replacement with Cornelius Popius, Duke of Nosterus, who himself shorty after was supplanted by Marius Furtellius, Duke of Andrafolia. Furtellius led a campaign in 928 eastward into the Abbasids, however while he was away on campaign, Gaius committed suicide in the palace. Gaius' son, Julianus I became king. In his first action, Julianus abolished the Imperial Governorship and convinced Patriarch Gaius Maximus to excommunicate Furtellius, who was killed by his lieutenants several weeks later. Julianus spent most of the rest of his thirty-seven year reign reorganizing the central government and reconsolidating power.
Julianus was succeeded by his son Aemellius I and later Gnaeus II until his abrupt assassination in 994. Gnaeus was succeeded by his nephew, Lucius IV, who immeadiatly took an offensive stance in government, looking to resecure centralized power in the capital. Lucius met with Patriarch Phillipus Innocentius II in 995, and the two decided to work together to expel the powerful Perilan House. The two worked together to publicly disgrace Antonius Perilus, Earl of Tigus and his entire house. The plot was a success, and Patriarch Phillipus Innocentius used the scandal as an excuse to excommunicate key members of the Perilan House, ending its influence. However, shortly after the execution of the plot, Lucius become extremely ill, and died in 996. He was succeeded by his son Gaius IV. Gaius completed his father's vision of securing royal power, creating widespread noble alliances through the marriages of his three daughters, and in 1001 greatly decreasing the power of much of the nobility with the Galia Charter, all with the support of Phillipus Innocentius and his successor Tigrius Fonteius. Gaius decided to move forward and unify the factional nobility under a banner of war. In 1002, Gaius invaded the Mikailan Kingdom under King Paul the Wise. The campaign was an immeadiate success, with Illyrian forces defeating Paul at the Battle of Scipia Way, however shortly after, in 1004, Gaius and his forces were ambushed by Haltemids in the desert, and Gaius himself was killed.
Cornelius II, Gaius' ten-year-old son, succeeded him as king, ruling with regent Marcius Marcellus, Duke of Apollonia. Marcellus immediately broke off the offensive into the Mikailan Kingdom, returning instead to Illyricus to consolidate power. Marcellus secured the Marcellan House's lineage to the throne through the marriage of his daughter Marcia Marcella, after which he proceeded to gather forces in Secundia to prepare to restart the Mikailan offensive.Inter-dynastic period
Claudian Renaissance
Illyrian War of Succession
.jpg)
Julius VIII became ill in 1554 following a long military campaign in the Andaluzian Mountains, and on May 11, 1555, Julius VIII died of his sickness, leaving his two daughters Julia and Juliana as his only heirs. Due to the continued Julian Famine, Julius VIII and the Catholic Church had lost much popular support, especially in central and eastern Illyricum where growing secular factions gathered. Julius VIII's death gave these secular groups an opportunity to seize power. Supported by many local nobles, Duke Severus Adrianus of Secundia laid claim to the Illyrian throne through his mother, Cecilia Julia of Dolena, whose half-sister Maria Julia of Dolena was the Queen Consort to Julius VIII.
Despite major support for Severus Adrianus, Patriarch Cornelius Pius rushed to crown Julia as queen, who was crowned as Julia II on June 5. Adrianus and other secular nobles did not recognize Julia II as queen, and held their own coronation for Adrianus, as Severus I, on October 5, officially beginning the Illyrian War of Succession. In the first year of the war, both sides struggled to maintain strong forces, with constant famine and supply shortages preventing any major military actions. In May 1557 Earl Julius Nurius of Menon led a secular force which ambushed a Catholic force under Duke Titus Haronus of Nosterus near Turis, killing most of the force and capturing Haronus. Patriarch Cornelius Pius managed to arrange several peace talks with secular leaders in the following weeks, however in the end the talks fell through following the execution of Catholic Countess Maria Lucia of Alephonia on July 11.
Severus Adrianus met with King Elram Melekh III of Pavulturilor in late July, and the two agreed to an alliance in exchange that Severus would cede land in Western Călăneasa upon ascending to the throne. Allied Pavulturilori and Illyrian forces first engaged Catholic forces at Bulenso near Laconis, where they defeated and captured several extended members of the Ferunian and Trurnian royal family, which had allied with Julia II a year prior. Despite their military victories, the Severan force began to lose strength as many nobles around Turis and Etruricum began defeating to Julia II on promises of increased land and power.
In January 1558, Catholic forces, under Marius Appius, Earl of Turio, won their first major victory against Adrianus at the Battle of Galerianicum, forcing secular forces to withdraw back towards Secundia. Appius pushed forward, eventually reaching the fort of Tolonia, which he began besieging. Catholic forces besieged Tolonia for six months, however following the Battle of Tolonia Hill in June, 1558, they were forced to retreat from a large relief force led by Severus Adrianus. Following the withdrawal, several close advisors of Julia II defected to Severus Adrianus, and planned an assassination attempt on Julia. However the plot, known historically as the Nolio Plot, failed after Julia herself shot and killed the leader of the plot, Marcius Lancius. In September 1558, Appius led another Catholic victory, this time at the Battle of Ferio Forest, staving off a secular invasion of Ferunia and Trurnia. By February 1559, fighting had increased throughout the front, which had formed from Solo Lake northward to Fero, which would be the site of a major March 1559 battle. In the two-week-long Battle of Fero, Catholic forces under Marcius Lunus, King Consort and Duke of Illyricus, won a resounding victory, forcing back secular forces under Adrianus towards Turis and Secundia. Catholic support continued to swell, with many duchies in northern Illyricum defecting to Julia II. However while fighting north of Secundia in June, Marcius Lunus fell from his horse and drowned in a swamp bog, ending the campaign and striking fear into the Catholic force.
In an effort to gain international support, Julia II married Perseo Marco, Lord of Salonia, solidifying relations with the Archduchy of Salonia and the Salonian League. In the summer of 1559 the front remained quiet, with both Julia II and Adrianus attempting to gain international favor, with Adrianus himself remarrying from Mariana Julia to Talya Melekh IV, princess of Pavulturilor. King Elram Melekh III renewed support for the secular cause, sending a large contingent under the command of Shimon Ben Eliezer II. However small scale famines began to resurface following a rough 1559–60 winter, leading to a loss of crop-growing land throughout Catholic-controlled regions. Several of Julia II's close advisors encouraged her to authorize a full assault on Secundia, to end the war, which she eventually authorized in March 1560, under the leadership of Prince Marco Fenero of Trurnia. Catholic forces marched again to Secundia before meeting secular troops at the Battle of Hadrianicum. In the decisive battle, Adrianus led the secular forces to an unprecedented victory, routing Fenero and destroying most of the Catholic army.
Following the battle, Adrianus led secular forces on an immediate strong counteroffensive. At the Battle of Benezeo Crossing, Adrianus defeated Fenero once again, forcing Ferunia and Trurnia to withdraw much of its support for Julia and Illyricum.Cauvunianist Reformation
First Republic of Illyricum
Second Republic of Illyricum
New Illyrian reconstitution
On September 2, 1848, Tito Moçeo established the First Congress of New Illyricum, with Herecleo Miçaelo serving as the first Marshall of Congress following a personal selection by Moçeo. On September 9, the Congress voted unanimously to approve the proposed National Constitution of the United Socialist States of New Illyricum and all former territories of the Second Republic of Illyricum, which officially claimed all land formerly held by the Second Republic of Illyricum, including Schiereiland and the newly founded Third Republic of Uralis. This constitution would help an ethno-national ideal amongst Illyrians known as Reconstetuteo, which as defined by writer Quintus Marcelloninus is "the belief that all land in which Illyrians live or have lived belong rightfully to Illyrian rulers." The congress also voted unanimously to rename Illyricus to Porto Ignaçio, after Enateo Marçeolono, and to establish the city as the national capital. In the 1848 New Illyrian marshall election, Moçeo dominated the votes against opposition leader Adriano Faeo, winning 76–24 and becoming the first Grand Marshall of the Union.
Shortly after being elected, Moçeo authorized the first New Illyrian military operation, ordering troops to march southwest and occupy Nosterus and Gaelici under the leadership of Faeo as the first Marshall of War. New Illyrian forces occupied the region for just over six months before on October 15, 1849, when the Congress of New Illyricum voted 67–33 to incorporate SE Romanum as the 6th state of New Illyricum. Four months later, Congress voted 56–44 to separate SE Apollonia from SE Romanum and establish it as the 7th state. In April, 1850, New Illyricum annexed Turis and Etruricum, overthrowing the local militia groups who had taken control of the region following the establishment of New Illyricum. The territories were incorporated as SE Turisicum and SE Etruricum following 95–5 and 92–8 approval votes.

In 1851, the Congress of New Illyricum approved the 1st Constitutional Amendment, granting special rights to traders and state-run corporations to help encourage state economies, which had been proposed by Marshall of Commerce Jo Dotelo and Marshall of Domestic Affairs Louvi C. Marco. In 1853, rebels led Jalo Joleno took control of Lake Solo in southern SE Secundicum, declaring independence from New Illyricum and declaring allegiance to the recently established Confederate States of Ferunia and Trurnia. Shortly after this, Moçeo issued a formal request to the Chancellor of Ferunia and Trurnia Leo Iohannes that Lake Solo be returned to New Illyrian control, however Iohannes refused, forcing the Congress of New Illyricum to declare war soon after. The War of the First Division, at the time known as the War of the States, lasted over two years, in which time New Illyrian troops successfully recaptured Lake Solo and much of northern Ferunia and Trurnia following the Battle of Morsa Gatehouse. On July 18, 1854, Marshall of Congress Miçaelo was assassinated by Bru Duno, an 18-year-old Ferunian who was later publicly executed. In 1855, the Treaty of the First Division was signed, giving New Illyricum control over northern Ferunia as well as Napelya to the west, which were both incorporated shortly after as SE Transpereo following a 53–47 vote.
A year later, Jalo Joleno and Joleno's Rifles staged a coup in Ferunia and Trurnia, establishing himself as Chancellor and vowing to recapture Solo Lake from New Illyricum. In the War of the Second Division, New Illyrian troops quickly marched south before defeating Joleno at the Battle of Reneçeo on December 8, 1855. Joleno was captured shortly after and executed, with New Illyrian forces taking full control of Ferunia and Trurnia. On July 2, SE Transpereo was incorporated into the new SE Ferunicum, with the new SE Napelya being established to the west.
Two years prior in 1854, the Congress of New Illyricum had authorized a large force of settlers looking to reestablish homes eastward to attack the Protestant Republic of The Eisley. The force, led by Luçeo Alo, defeated the protestant forces and established the Socialist Republic of The Eisley. However shortly following the nation's establishment, Marshall of Foreign Affairs Publio Reneo convinced Congress to authorize a military force to march to The Eisley and enforce New Illyrian control in the region. President of The Eisley Alo and Reneo eventually agreed to the Marinicum Accords, which effectively rendered The Eisley a client state of New Illyricum while granting them minimal political autonomy.

With the expansion of the New Illyrian reconstitution to the east, New Illyricum gained significant regional power over Pensulia and Uralis. In the 1858 Uralic presidential election, Communist Party candidate Halmeo Paleo widely won the election, defeating Nationalist Party candidate Julio Reo after what Reo termed as "clear interference by New Illyricum." Newly elected President of Uralis Paleo signed the Nyapthus Accords, surrendering territory southwest of Uralis, restricting Uralic political autonomy, and joining the recently founded Communist League of Nations. The surrendered territory was incorporated as SE Italia Oest shortly after.
Meanwhile communist forces had gained growing support in northern Dacia, and with the support of the Communist League of Nations, revolted in January 1859 against King Ariel Melekh VII and the Kingdom of Pavulturilor. Communist forces, led by Iacob Dragos, established the Socialist Councilist Republic of Northern Dacia, which was quickly recognized by New Illyricum and all members of the Communist League of Nations. On January 19, Pavulturilor officially declared war on New Illyricum beginning the Second Călăneasan War. Fighting was heavy throughout the region, with the front stretching throughout the Andaluzian and Khermon mountains. At the Siege of Călăneasa from June to October 1859, Pavulturilori forces were unable to break through, eventually forcing Pavulturilor to launch a second assault south into Uralis with the support of Uralic separatists led by Julio Reo. At the Battle of Nyapthus, New Illyrian forces under Moçeo and Faeo won a contested victory against the Pavulturilori, however they sustained heavy losses and were unable to press the advantage. Faeo himself was shot and would later die of an infection, which helped motivate many New Illyrian Senators to call for an end to the war. In September 1860, New Illyricum and Pavulturilor agreed to a ceasefire and began negotiating a peace treaty to end fighting in the region. On November 15, King Ariel Melekh VII and the leaders of the Communist League of Nations signed the September Agreement, leaving national borders as they were at the end of September 1859 and granting independence to Northern Dacia.
Following the end of the war, in 1862 New Illyricum formally annexed the Third Republic of Uralis, incorporating its territory as SE Tuscinum and SE Uralis. Soon after the Congress of New Illyricum voted 63-37 to annex SE Armoria from The Eisley and to establish SE Italia Est. With the Terranilian Civil War raging in the Terranilian Empire, the Republic of Pensulia was left isolated and unprepared to defend its borders. In August 1864, troops under the command of Moçeo invaded southeastern Pensulia, defeating the Pensulian army at Belo Mountain before advancing into the capital of Pensulia. New Illyrian troops forced President of Pensulia Marcus Andredi to sign the Treaty of Pensulia, surrendering all land of Pensulia to New Illyricum. The land was incorporated as SE Pensulia and SE Alephonicum following votes of 67–33 and 52–48.
In 1863, Congress voted 55–45 to approve the 3rd Constitutional Amendment, known commonly as the "Federalist Bill," which reformed the New Illyrian congressional system from a set of 100 senators, to a set of 107 senators, with each state having its own set of electors representing itself. The bill was supported and put through by members of the Reformist-Federalist Party, the first official political party in New Illyricum founded in 1862 and led by Jo Dotelo. In August 1863, the Congress passed the Reformist-proposed 4th Constitutional Amendment, reforming the position of Marshall of Congress to be the congressional majority leader rather than the appointee of the Grand Marshall.
In July 1864, Eisylian revolutionary Lukkio Lento and several members of the Green Members Union ambushed the imperial procession of Emperor Malandela KaLuzumana of Kwazulu-Ciskei. Lento shot and killed Crown Prince Andile KaLuzumana. Emperor Malandela KaLuzumana escaped, however Princess Ayanda KaLuzumana was captured by the Green Members Union and taken to Marinicum where she was taken as prisoner of war by President of The Eisley Gaeo Doteo. The Fero Lake War began on July 14 after Doteo refused to surrender Princess Ayanda until all Kwazulu-Ciskeian territory in The Eisley was surrendered. Despite heavy objections from the Rest and Remain Party led by Samuelo Gregorio, the Congress of New Illyricum voted to join the war 58–49 with the intent of "reclaiming rightful New Illyrian territory."
As the war raged in The Eisley, the 1865 New Illyrian congressional election saw the highest turnout numbers of any New Illyrian election so far, with 4,822,327 votes being placed. The Reformist-Federalist Party won the election, gaining 48 of 107 seats and Jo Dotelo became Marshall of Congress. The Reformist-Federalists opted to remain in the war, sending large forces to aid the Eisylian troops in the region. At the Battle of Gcuwa in 1867, New Illyrian troops led by Adriano Aemilio Tulio defeated the Kwazulu-Cisekian army, effectively forcing Emperor Malandela KaLuzumana to sign the Treaty of Marinicum in March, 1868.
However in the process of negotiating the treaty, the Remformist-Federalists became divided on whether or not to force harsher terms on Kwazulu–Ciskei, with hardline Reformists pushing for full annexation while the Federalists pushing against annexation and instead for the establishment of pro-New Illyrian governments. The congress eventually voted 57–40–10 to approve the treaty proposed by Domineco Gabrielo, who led the Federalist faction in the Refomist–Federalist Party. Prior to the 1869 New Illyrian congressional election, the Reformist-Federalist Party announced its disbandment, with the Reformist Party led by Dotelo and the Counter-Reformist Party led by Gabrielo replacing it. In the 1869 election, the Rest and Remain party won the election with 40 seats, and Gregorio became Marshall of Congress.
Age of Good Hope
_Departure_of_colored_emigrants_for_Liberia_-_The_Illustrated_American,_March_21,_1896.jpg)
Gregorio's premiership marked the end of the Illyrian reconstitution, with Gregorio taking control and immediately pushing through several Counter-Reformist bills which limited New Illyrian expansion. The new age became known as the Age of Good Hope, a term coined by Gregorio himself in his 1870 address to Congress. In 1871 the Rest and Remain and the Counter-Reformist Parties joined in the Federalist Alliance, giving them effective total control over the Congress. Prior to the 1872 election, the Counter-Reformists gained considerable popular support throughout western Illyricum, with party leader Gabrielo making several speeches in Porto Ignaçio later collected and written as the Counter-Reformist Manifesto in 1873. In the 1872 election, Gabrielo and the Counter-Reformists won 61 seats, taking Congressional control and majority.
With declining health and a growing amount of political apathy, Grand Marshall Moçeo announced in 1873 his official cessation of most executive power to Gabrielo, whom he named National Secretary of New Illyricum, in addition to Marshall of Congress. As National Secretary, Gabrielo enacted several major economic bills throughout his term, helping to strengthen New Illyricum's stagnating economy as well as open the nation up to foreign trade from the Republic of Terranihil and the Jackson Empire. Gabrielo was widely praised for his strong policies and effectively leading the nation into a stable era, dominantly defeating a leaderless Reformist Party in the 1875 election with 78 seats. The Age of Good Hope effectively peaked in 1877 with the launching of the NIS Emançepeçeone, the first New Illyrian ocean liner which Gabrielo declared "began the Industrial Age of New Illyricum."
Prior to the 1878 election, Gabrielo announced he would not be seeking another term, and endorsed Estefano Marco as his successor. In the 1878 election, Marco and the Counter-Reformists, who had a year prior absorbed the Rest and Remain Party, won 87 seats. However after just 34 days of Marco's tenure as Marshall of Congress and National Secretary, Grand Marshall Moçeo announced his resignation, citing health concerns as well as a desire to fully remove himself from power. The 1878 New Illyrian marshall election was the first, and only, New Illyrian marshall election to be determined solely by popular vote rather than by a Congressional vote. This allowed newly elected Reformist Party leader Tulio Oeileo to campaign and gained considerable support amongst many central Illyrian swing states. However Marco nevertheless defeated Oeileo by over 1,000,000 votes, securing a term as Grand Marshall and naming Pepino Boneo as his acting marshall successor.
As Grand Marshall, Marco received immediate widespread criticism for his Marshalls Cabinet selections, which included several hardline Counter-Reformists such as Guilo Gurero and Filipio Sazio as well as his own brother Luçeo Honorio Marco, whom he named National Secretary. However while his appointments received criticism outside of the Counter-Reformist Party, Marco moved quickly to eradicate an opposition within the party, eventually leading several party members to split off in 1880 and formed the Moderate's National Party. In the 1881 congressional election opposition against Marco and the Counter-Reformist continued to fracture, with the party maintaining majority at 89 seats. During his premiership, Marco and his Cabinet stayed at the Marco Family Estate in rural SE Romanum, where soon the town of Marconia grew up and was widely considered to be the de facto capital.
New Illyrian depression
In 1882 Marco and Marshall of Commerce Publio Sandereo announced the beginning of the Grand Illyrian Economic Initiative, which sought to revitalize the stagnating New Illyrian economy. The plan was extremely controversial due to its numerous changes to the system already in place and most majorly its open exclusion of all Pensulians from the workforce. The plan was opposed by the Reformists and members of the Moderate's National Party, with Reformist leaders declaring the initiative a "disastrous endeavor doomed to fail." Despite the overall lack of support, Marco and Sandereo moved ahead with the plan in December 1882, overruling several state laws and economic initiatives in the process and upending the entire New Illyrian economy.
Immediately in 1882 the New Illyrian economy began to struggle, however many politicians simply attributed this to the economic turnover with the new system. The economy also began to struggle with a lack of workforce, as despite low unemployment numbers the workforce was unable to support the full scale of the New Illyrian economy. In September 1882 the New Illyrian congress passed the International Tariffs Bill which enforce high tariffs on international goods, especially minerals and food, to help encourage New Illyrian corporations to grow and replace the production flow.
In February 1883, the National Commerce Commission announced huge rises in unemployment and massive economic downturn across all sectors. The mining sector struggled the worst, with several state and government-sponsored companies completely collapsing by April 5, which became known as Unholy Thursday. In an emergency session, the congress voted 102–28 to suspend the Grand Initiative and declared a state of national crisis. In addition it suspended the exclusion of Pensulians from the workforce across several eastern states and later voted to remove the high international tariffs. However these actions did little to stop the collapse of the New Illyrian economy, which struggled massively as unemployment soared. With the huge collapse of most New Illyrian economic sectors, especially those reliant on companies based on the west coast, many New Illyrian were forced to search for work in the mideast region, with an influx of workers coming to Secundia and SE Italia Oest.
In the 1884 election with the continued economic collapse, the Counter-Reformists lost congressional majority as the congress became split 53–39–38 between the Counter-Reformists, Moderates, and Reformists. With little to no popular support and the economy failing, Marco was pressured heavily to resign, in order to avoid a forced impeachment. However Marco refused, eventually leading to an impeachment investigation launched in March 1885. The investigation committee, led by Moderate Johano Braçeo and Reformist Luçeo Oestaneo, led an extensive search of executive records, the Marco estate, and found large evidence of widespread corruption, nepotism, and bribery in the Marco regime. On November 9, 1885, the New Illyrian congress voted 86–42–2 to impeach Marco, who shortly after also resigned as a member of congress. With heavy division amongst congress, the Reformists and Moderates eventually agreed to the Compromise of 1885, voting in Johano Braçeo as acting Grand Marshall.

Political system

New Illyricum is an unicameral federal multi-party state, with the Vanguardist Party (AP) and the Democratic Party (DP) as the only two national level parties. Historically New Illyricum has been a one-party state led by the AP since 1993, however following the Aberso–Illyrian War and the Pretoria Peace Accords the nation shifted into a multi-party state. In the 2024 New Illyrian congressional election the AP gained majority with 99 of the 195 seats in the Congress of New Illyricum, the DP winning 89, and 7 Independent seats. In the 2024 marshall election DP candidate Luçeo Mareo barely defeated incumbent AP Ernesto Luçeo 99-96 to secure the premiership.
The New Illyrian political system relies heavily on a system of three major political figures, the Grand Marshall, the Marshall of Congress, and the Marshall of War. The Grand Marshall is elected by the legislature and serves a term for life, however a 40+% vote, known as the Quereroscae, may trigger a new marshall election. The Marshall of Congress is elected as the leader of the majority party or block in Congress, with congressional elections being held once every two years. The Marshall of War is selected by the Grand Marshall at the beginning of his term and serves as the leader of the New Illyrian Armed Forces and the National Military Council.
The Congress of New Illyricum serves as the main legislative body, with each state having between 9 and 11 members, constituting the full 195 seat Congress. Each state has its own state government, self-autonomous and self-organized, however all state governments are led by a state Senate, consisting of the delegates from that state who were serving in Congress.
Foreign relations
Due to New Illyricum's long standing communist regime and its recent denial of the Shaoyu Island genocide many nations do not hold political relations with the country, including Kivu, Monsilva, and Baltanla. However unlike its communist ally Zloveshchiy, New Illyricum has been a member of the Terraconserva Council of Nations since 1956 and it is a member of the Terraconserva Vanguard Union, a pro-environmental organization, and was a founding member of Communist International. Despite its major disenfranchisement by much of the world, New Illyricum has forged strong political bonds with several nations, including Zloveshciy, Montesayette, Tumland, and Terranihil, and formerly Morova and Ajakanistan.
New Illyricum has long instituted pro-active international policies geared towards strengthening, aiding, and defending other communist nations, a policy which began in the early 20th century with New Illyricum's aid to the Barobarī rebels in Rakhman. New Illyricum deployed their 10,000 strong Foreign Army to fight in the Rakhmani Civil War, which would last from 1917 to 1924 and result in a communist defeat. In 1933 with the outbreak of the Creeperian Civil War, New Illyricum sent significant aid to the National Council, and in 1944 New Illyrian troops would be sent to aid in the effort, and would fight mostly in La'Libertad and La'Unión until their withdrawal in 1948. New Illyrian troops would later serve in Reykanes, Saratov, and Baltanla as well.
Military
The New Illyrian Armed Forces consists of four service branches; the Army, the Navy, the Aviation Force, and the the Special Forces. The forces consist of 775,000 active service members with 1,750,000 reserves. The forces are led by the National Military Council, which operates with a board of seven military leaders, led by the marshall of war, and marshall of defense. The de jure commander-in-chief of the forces is the grand marshall of the union, however following the 15th Amendment in 1960, much of the effective military power of the grand marshall was removed. The current serving marshall of war is Feliçeo Louvi, who took command from Gnaeo Paçeo shortly after the beginning of the Third Ferunian Separatist War.

Ethnic groups in New Illyricum
New Illyricum is a relatively ethnically diverse nation, with historic trade routes connecting much of Southern Ecros running through central Illyricum. Four major ethnic groups make up the majority of the New Illyrian population, with Illyrians native to the Andaluzian coast making up 62.5%, Pensulians living in northeastern New Illyricum make up 9.7% of the population, Ferunians in SE Ferunicum making up 9.3%, and Eisylians in The Eisley making up 3.5%.
Due to the Montcrabin colonization of Illyricum, many New Illyrians, especially in Perfuliam and Andrafoliam, have Crabin ancestry. Though most Crabins left following the Illyric Revolution, some remained in Illyricum, with small amounts of Crabins staying in Illyricum during the 2001 Montcrabin refugee crisis. Large amounts of Kwazulu-Ciskeians and Na'abi live in southern and eastern New Illyricum, coming through The Eisley during political unrest. In the 1950s the Araucarlian Communist Exodus sent many Mateians and Araucarlians to New Illyricum, making up a combined 2.5% of the current population.
Two other major minority groups include Vaktrians and Kavardans who fled Terranihil during The Troubles and live throughout much of northern New Illyricum. In the 1970s large amounts of Kavardans were flooding the border of SE Alephonicum and SE Pensulia, forcing state legislators to ban immigration into the country, despite objections from Grand Marshall Estefanelo and much of the central government. In 1994 Grand Marshall Faeo lifted the ban, leading many Kavardans to flood SE Alephonicum and SE Pensulia. Cholera outbreaks in the early 2000s threatened many Kavardans in the region, however Grand Marshall Lorençeo instituted several 2013 health reforms with helped limit disease outbreaks in the region.

Cuisine
New Illyrian cuisine combines a blend of Andaluzian cuisine along with Surian cuisine while also utilizing several influences from Araucarlia and Ostlandet. Due to New Illyricum's large immigrant population, much of Illyrian cuisine varies based on the influences of the immigrants, however overall many trends can be seen in New Illyrian cuisine. Due to New Illyricum's massive cheese industry much of it's cuisine involves cheese especially melted cheese which is utilized heavily on Pans (unleavened flat bread, similar to a Tortilla). New Illyricum's massive fishing and seafood industry also contributes to seafood, especially lobster and crab, being very popular in New Illyricum. While seafood is most popular on the coast of New Illyricum foods such as steak and lamb are very popular more eastward where livestock are abundant. While steak is still a rather costly food, it has become much more available to everyone due to the abundance of cows and the recent relaxation of many anti-hunting laws in several states. In eastern Illyricum through influences from Pavulturilor and Sconia kebabs are immensely popular with use of steak, lamb, sometimes pork along with various fruits including grapes, watermelon, and imported fruits such as pineapple.
Music and dance
Sports
Association football is the most popular sport in New Illyricum, with the New Illyrian Premier Football League (PLFNE) reaching viewership numbers as high as 30 million in the late season. Football in New Illyricum is administrated by the New Illyrian Football Alliance (AFNE) and works as an affiliate of the LFE. AFNE administrates the two New Illyrian national leagues, the PLFNE, and the New Illyrian Secondary Football League (SLFNE).
Aside from football, basketball and gymnastics are both very popular in New Illyricum. The New Illyrian Basketball Organization runs the New Illyrian Premier Basketball League as part of the INBA South Ecros. Historically the New Illyricum men's national basketball team has been among the best teams in the INBA, winning TBD TBD TBD. Gymnastics have been popular in New Illyricum since the 1980s when the rivalry between Alesandra Petrova and Anastasya Filipya led to nationwide increases in viewership. Founded in 1912, the New Illyrian Artistic Gymnastics Federation (FAGNE) is among the most prestigious gymnastics federations. FAGNE runs the yearly New Illyrian Artistic Gymnastics Federation Championship as well as the New Illyricum women's national artistic gymnastics team.
