New Illyricum, officially known as the United Socialist States of New Illyricum (Illyrian Iberic: Soçaelestoes Unitoes Estatoes de Novo Elyreco, Romanyan Iberic: Foederatae Socialesticae Novae Illyrici; [ʃoɪ'saɪʟeʃ'toɪʃ uni'toɪʃ eʃta'toɪʃ 'də no'vo e'ʟeʁe'xo]) 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 Tyrandor 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 Enateo, 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 Enateo 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 2400 BC, King Illyrioc I unified several tribes on the Illyric peninsula and founded the Old Kingdom of Illyricum around the city of Illyricus. The Iberic tribes came upon the Kingdom of Illyricum in 1488, and a group of them, led by Titus Julius, and defeated Baregenioc III at the Battle of Cerberonia before capturing Illyricus. The Kingdom, now ruled Iberics, lasted until 197 BC and the Romanyan conquest of Illyricum, when the Romanyan Republic, led by Sejanus Brutellus, defeated the Kingdom of Illyricum and killed King Gnaeus III at 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 New 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 Enateo, 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 Poleo 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 remained mostly peaceful in terms of wars until communist extremists instigated the Ferunian Separatist War from 2006 to 2008, which ended in an eventual New Illyrian victory.
