Kyros (Kyriote: Κιρού), officially the Republic of Kyros (Kyriote: Δημοκρατία του Κιρού), is a city state in Asura, located on the Asur Sea. It shares its only land border with Myria to the east, and shares a maritime boundary with Midrasia to the north. It maintains a population of just over half a million as of 2018.
Kyros maintains a history which stretches back to the ancient era. During that period of ancient Myria, ancient Kyros was a middling power city state that was destroyed at the conclusion of the War of the Elders. Later, the site would be resettled by refugees and slaves, fleeing persecution from across the Asur during the rise of the Fiorentine Empire. The city would later bow to the Fiorentine conquerors, and become a prosperous trading city under their rule.
In the aftermath of the Betrayal at Mydroll, Kyros emerged as a powerful republic, another wave of refugees bolstering their ranks. The city would grow in size throughout the Middle Ages, eventually culminating in the Kyriote Thalassocracy, and tenuous Kyriote dominance over trade in the Asur Sea. The rise of larger Asuran states ultimately spelled the end of the thalassocracy, however, as Midrasia, Veleaz and Ardaima overtook the small city in power and prestige. By the dawn of the industrial era, the city had been reduced to a fraction of its former size.
Kyros would help to found the burgeoning Myrian Confederacy in the 1800s, but would refuse to partake in the process of Enosis in 1911, instead maintaining its independence. Instead, Kyros helps to found the Myrian Forum. It would later help to found the CDN and the Asuran Community. In the modern day, Kyros would emerge as a profitable city state by focusing on the financial sector, and maintaining a low tax level, and thus emerging as a tax haven.
A unitary republic, Kyros maintains a semi-direct democracy, under the purview of a semi-parliamentary system. The current system came into place at the turn of the century; prior to this, Kyros operated under the system known as Kyriote democracy. Ariadni Papatsi serves as the current First Speaker, presiding over the College of Kyros. The city state has a GDP (PPP) per capita of $61,000, and a human development index of 0.877. It is a member of the CDN, the MF and the AC.
