Equila Republic was a Republic in the Celestial Island Chain during the Classical Age. It had one of the best navies at the time and had won countless battles on the mythical continent of [placeholder]. In 43 BGD, it became a pre-dominant naval power in the region. It is also reportedly the first known republic in Sparkalia.

Even though it was on the outer edges of the Celestial Island Chain, it still had threats from the other side of the chain. The Princedom of Texis was a rival to the Republic, and they had 5 wars against each other for dominance over the Sea. It was during the Selin-Dos War, which was the last war between Texis and Equila, that Equila Hegemony of ruling the seas was sealed after the decisive Battle of Ocien. It would have the period called Elenchómeni Thálassa or Controlled Seas Period (24BGD-84GD). Out of all the civilizations in the Celestial Island Chain, only Equila ever tried to harness and use magic. The Equilos had a mage in almost every city, as the position was highly respected. These Mages were called Megálos Mágos or Grand Mage in Aquilan.
