'''Lyrord''' ([[Lyrian language|Lyrian]]: Ͱλύριöρð ''Hlýrjörð''), formally the '''Enlightened Concordancy''' (Lyrian: 'Υππλύστϝοπναηλές ''Upplýstvopnahlés''), is a country in [[Parthenia]]. Clockwise from it's metropole, it borders X to the north, X to the east, [[Livonia]] to the south, and X to the southwest. It's administrative capital is [[Flugeldar]] (Φλυγελδαρ). however the most populated city is [[Tekkingu]] (Θεκκινγυ), which also serves as the country's most important financial center. With most of it's territory inside the [[Sydra Peninsula]], the country is almost completely divided from mainland Parthenia by [[Lake Frasjo]].
'''Lyrord''' ([[Lyrian language|Lyrian]]: ᚽᛚᚢᚱᚭᚱᚦ ''Hlýrjörð''), formally the '''Enlightened Concordancy''' (Lyrian: ᚢᛓᛚᚢᛌᛐᚢᛓᚿᛆᚽᛚᛁᛌ ''Upplýstvopnahlés''), is a country in [[Parthenia]]. Clockwise from it's metropole, it borders X to the north, X to the east, [[Livonia]] to the south, and X to the southwest. It's administrative capital is [[Flugeldar]] (ᚠᛚᚢᚴᛁᛚᛏᛅᛦ). however the most populated city is [[Tekkingu]] (ᛐᛁᚴᚴᛁᚿᚴᚢ), which also serves as the country's most important financial center. With most of it's territory inside the [[Sydra Peninsula]], the country is almost completely divided from mainland Parthenia by [[Lake Frasjo]]. The country has the largest number of members ingressed in the [[Cult of the Enlightment]], the deistic cult that originated in the country. It is an active player into the politics of X, being an official member, however acts as a middle power by it's State policies since it's formation.
The contemporary form of Lyrord's government - characterized by association with the widely popular [[Enlightment]], began with the 1817 deposition of the [[Empire of Lyrord]], a client state of [[Slethar]], with the anti-authority movement known as [[Awakening]]. With the birth of the [[Federacy of Lyrord]], the young republican state led under [[Róðerickur Kárólgarð]] survived and repel various coalitions formed by empires surrounding the revolutionary state, primarily led by the Sletharine. The Federacy brung deep socioeconomical and political change in the matter of years; with state religion being abolished, slavery banned, and various political rights instated. Although criticized for his maintainence of his own political dynasty, Karolgard led the immature republic into stability and inducted elections through [[Scientific Democracy]], which would soon become a core part of the country's political policies. Becoming a hotspot for antimonarchists and revisionists of religious authority, Lyrord's intellectual force skyrocketed in quantity; becoming the indisputed scientific center of [[Parthenia]] until the 1900's. The state governed over the decades under a largely illiberal approval-dependent system, with the Chief (now [[Arbiter (Lyrord)|Arbiter]]) exercing almost total power on it's subjects. Despite being largely uninvolved in foreign policies, Lyrord would become a prominent funder of revolutionary movements across the continent, through the policies of [[Long Beams]]; eventually becoming one of the country's central programs entering the 1930's with the [[Corporate War|Corporate Stunt]], through [[Sigra Metnaðrmaðr]]'s various international policies.
 
Lyrord would become a nonparticipant in both Great Wars, however would financially engage with both sides in a prominent basis - and maintained various projects of first strike and overall espionage, especially on [[Slethar]]. Most of Lyrord's funds regarding the Great War; besides the espionage plans, went towards the continuation of the increasingly more crucial [[Long Beams]], which funded the various collectivist movements that would later rise in [[Atusia]] and [[Muanbia]]. Sigra aditionally implemented plans that would later open the Lyrian economy to foreign private markets; ending the closed economy that accompanied the original ideas of [[Enlightment]]. This would spark the start of an ideological split that would increasingly make the government more and more polarized between Reactionaries and Reformists. The Reactionaries swore to return the status quo of Karolgard's policies, while the Reformists defended the private market and the government's multilateralism. In an attempt to solve these issues, Sigra would go on a wave of political purging aimed at Reactionary politicians, however only added fuel to the fire; with political homicide skyrocketing in rates. This divison would climax with Sigra's death in 1972, where a short-lived democratic government was usurped by a failed military coup under Commander [[Ánthónur Reginálðvar]], which would later be killed during the rebellion by the Legalist military. After weeks fighting the uprising, the government entered a state of deep political and economical downfall as trust in the nation's stability plummeted, throwing the deeply service-dependent Lyrord into economical collapse. The dire situation would culminate into the two ideological factions signing a Concord - forming the Enlightened Concordancy; a government where the two de-jure shared equal power, abolishing the total executive status of the Chief, which would be reformed into [[Arbiter (Lyrord)|Arbiter]].

Becoming a hotspot for antimonarchists and revisionists of religious authority, Lyrord's intellectual force skyrocketed in quantity; becoming the indisputed scientific center of [[Parthenia]] until the 1900's. As these scientific movements evolved, the desire to explain the core of the universe ensued, which at the time being impossible for the rationalist being, eventually evolved into a deistic cult known since it's formation in 1824 as the [[Cult of the Enlightment]], which has since then held onto the country's religious demographics as the dominant force. The state governed over the decades under a largely illiberal approval-dependent system, with the Chief (now [[Arbiter (Lyrord)|Arbiter]]) exercing almost total power on it's subjects.

In the modernity, Lyrord has recovered from it's deep crisis in the 1990's, and has entered steady economical progress; joining back as a relatively stable and highly developed country. However, Lyrord is far from perfect; Sigra's corporate policies having promoved an increase in income inequality with the estabilishment of foreign megacorporations on national soil, an issue that can be observed in the country's largest financial center: [[Samkoma]], having among the highest rates of light pollution in the world, and among the most dense in population. The country also suffers as an illiberal regime, with frequent bribes; many of which are from corporations themselves, coupled with the still prominent issue of ideological war. Although not as severe as before the declaration of the Enlightened Concordancy, political violence is one of the country's leading causes for homicide, especially being a recorded issue by media during elections. Censorship by the state itself is aswell an issue, in the company of the country's intelligence services inherited from the Sigra Era.

Censorship by the state itself is aswell an issue, in the company of the country's intelligence services inherited from the Sigra Era. Lyrord is closely connected with the world market, being a service-based, mixed-market economy, which has swinged in economical projects with the failure of the [[Scientific Democracy]]'s ability to upkeep an Arbiter in the modern-day. While bills have called for the abolishment of the system, the country's deeprooted conflicts of interest and widespread corruption have made it impossible to accumulate a considerable margin of votes. Lyrord is enrolled in X, however officially maintains a policy of "arbitration" through neutrality and peacekeeping mediation.

== Etymology ==
| image_flag            = Lyrord Flag.png
The name '''Hlýrjörð''', pronounced '''/ˈl̥iːrˈjœrð/''', roughly ''Lir-JORD'', is a ''portmanteau'' of the term '''Hlýr jörð''', which lin [[Lyrian language|Lyrian]] translates as ''Warm earth''. It is suggested that this makes a reference to the merchants' observation of the island's soil as being warm compared to their homeland, which is the most accepted theory for the name's origin. It quickly catch on among the merchant republics, and eventually was inherited to empire's referring, aswell as for the revolutionaries.

Most of the country's territory is found within the [[Sydra Peninsula]], which also harbors X, one of the country's few land neighbours. Lyrord is nearly completely divided from mainland [[Parthenia]] by [[Lake Frasjo]], which is by far the largest source of freshwater in the country, crucial to it's infrastructure. The land is relatively flat, with the highest elevation being [[Mount Sif]], peaking at 834 meters. This makes it the Xth lowest country in Parthenia. Owing to it's flat nature, the country is naturally prone to the formation of wetlands and floodplains, which have catalyzed the maintenance of a comprehensive flooding system which have recorded history since the 1100's with the deep settlement of Lyrians in Sydra. The interior of the country, primarily around the higher areas of the peninsula, is dominated by a woodland region known as X; however it has began to dissapear in the recent decades with the rapid urbanization of Lyrord.

| leader_name1          = [[Freýrvar Hlýnurson]]
=== Climate ===
| leader_title2          = [[Tvöþing|Legislature]]
Thanks to it's physical geography, alongside the oceanic currents that run through the eastern slope of Parthenia, Lyrord exclusively experiences an Oceanic climate (Cfb) per the X system, which has earned Sydra the title of a highly agriculturally exploited region of Parthenia until the administration of Sigra, where the [[Iron Revolution]] shifted the farm-based economy towards an industrial market, locking on to the modern days and subsequently culminating into the highly industrialized Concordancy.

Due to the Lyrord's extensive urbanization and highly advanced technological sector, pollution can be found in almost every part of the country: Light pollution is prevalent in cities, for example with digital billboards, which have been criticized as one of the leading causes of car accidents in the country, aswell as physical pollution of nature-whether it be through the improper disposal of waste, deforestation, urbanization, among other roots.

'''Lyrord''' ([[Lyrian language|Lyrian]]: Ͱλύριöρð ''Hlýrjörð''), formally the '''Enlightened Concordancy''' (Lyrian: 'Υππλύστϝοπναηλές ''Upplýstvopnahlés''), is a country in [[Parthenia]]. Clockwise from it's metropole, it borders X to the north, X to the east, [[Livonia]] to the south, and X to the southwest. It's administrative capital is [[Flugeldar]] (Φλυγελδαρ). however the most populated city is [[Samkoma]] (Σαμκομα), which also serves as the country's most important financial center. With most of it's territory inside the [[Sydra Peninsula]], the country is almost completely divided from mainland Parthenia by [[Lake Frasjo]].
{{Elezia}}
The contemporary form of Lyrord's government - characterized by association with the widely popular [[Enlightment]], began with the 1817 deposition of the [[Empire of Lyrord]], a client state of [[Slethar]], with the anti-authority movement known as [[Awakening]]. With the birth of the [[Federacy of Lyrord]], the young republican state led under [[Róðerickur Kárólgarð]] survived and repel various coalitions formed by empires surrounding the revolutionary state, primarily led by the Sletharine. The Federacy brung deep socioeconomical and political change in the matter of years; with state religion being abolished, slavery banned, and various political rights instated. Although criticized for his maintainence of his own political dynasty, Karolgard led the immature republic into stability and inducted elections through [[Scientific Democracy]], which would soon become a core part of the country's political policies. Becoming a hotspot for antimonarchists and revisionists of religious authority, Lyrord's intellectual force skyrocketed in quantity; becoming the indisputed scientific center of [[Parthenia]] until the 1900's. The state governed over the decades under a largely illiberal approval-dependent system, with the Chief (now [[Arbiter (Lyrord)|Arbiter]]) exercing almost total power on it's subjects. Despite being largely uninvolved in foreign policies, Lyrord would become a prominent funder of revolutionary movements across the continent, through the policies of [[Long Beams]]; eventually becoming one of the country's central programs entering the 1930's with the [[Corporate War|Corporate Stunt]], through [[Sigra Metnaðrmaðr]]'s various international policies.
Lyrord would become a nonparticipant in both Great Wars, however would financially engage with both sides in a prominent basis - and maintained various projects of first strike and overall espionage, especially on [[Slethar]]. Most of Lyrord's funds regarding the Great War; besides the espionage plans, went towards the continuation of the increasingly more crucial [[Long Beams]], which funded the various collectivist movements that would later rise in [[Atusia]] and [[Muanbia]]. Sigra aditionally implemented plans that would later open the Lyrian economy to foreign private markets; ending the closed economy that accompanied the original ideas of [[Enlightment]]. This would spark the start of an ideological split that would increasingly make the government more and more polarized between Reactionaries and Reformists. The Reactionaries swore to return the status quo of Karolgard's policies, while the Reformists defended the private market and the government's multilateralism. In an attempt to solve these issues, Sigra would go on a wave of political purging aimed at Reactionary politicians, however only added fuel to the fire; with political homicide skyrocketing in rates. This divison would climax with Sigra's death in 1972, where a short-lived democratic government was usurped by a failed military coup under Commander [[Ánthónur Reginálðvar]], which would later be killed during the rebellion by the Legalist military. After weeks fighting the uprising, the government entered a state of deep political and economical downfall as trust in the nation's stability plummeted, throwing the deeply service-dependent Lyrord into economical collapse. The dire situation would culminate into the two ideological factions signing a Concord - forming the Enlightened Concordancy; a government where the two de-jure shared equal power, abolishing the total executive status of the Chief, which would be reformed into [[Arbiter (Lyrord)|Arbiter]].
In the modernity, Lyrord has recovered from it's deep crisis in the 1990's, and has entered steady economical progress; joining back as a relatively stable and highly developed country. However, Lyrord is far from perfect; Sigra's corporate policies having promoved an increase in income inequality with the estabilishment of foreign megacorporations on national soil, an issue that can be observed in the country's largest financial center: [[Samkoma]], having among the highest rates of light pollution in the world, and among the most dense in population. The country also suffers as an illiberal regime, with frequent bribes; many of which are from corporations themselves, coupled with the still prominent issue of ideological war. Although not as severe as before the declaration of the Enlightened Concordancy, political violence is one of the country's leading causes for homicide, especially being a recorded issue by media during elections. Censorship by the state itself is aswell an issue, in the company of the country's intelligence services inherited from the Sigra Era. Lyrord is closely connected with the world market, being a service-based, mixed-market economy, which has swinged in economical projects with the failure of the [[Scientific Democracy]]'s ability to upkeep an Arbiter in the modern-day. While bills have called for the abolishment of the system, the country's deeprooted conflicts of interest and widespread corruption have made it impossible to accumulate a considerable margin of votes. Lyrord is enrolled in X, however officially maintains a policy of "arbitration" through neutrality and peacekeeping mediation.

Lyrord (Lyrian: ᚽᛚᚢᚱᚭᚱᚦ Hlýrjörð), formally the Enlightened Concordancy (Lyrian: ᚢᛓᛚᚢᛌᛐᚢᛓᚿᛆᚽᛚᛁᛌ Upplýstvopnahlés), is a country in Parthenia. Clockwise from it's metropole, it borders X to the north, X to the east, Livonia to the south, and X to the southwest. It's administrative capital is Flugeldar (ᚠᛚᚢᚴᛁᛚᛏᛅᛦ). however the most populated city is Tekkingu (ᛐᛁᚴᚴᛁᚿᚴᚢ), which also serves as the country's most important financial center. With most of it's territory inside the Sydra Peninsula, the country is almost completely divided from mainland Parthenia by Lake Frasjo. The country has the largest number of members ingressed in the Cult of the Enlightment, the deistic cult that originated in the country. It is an active player into the politics of X, being an official member, however acts as a middle power by it's State policies since it's formation.

The contemporary form of Lyrord's government - characterized by association with the widely popular Enlightment, began with the 1817 deposition of the Empire of Lyrord, a client state of Slethar, with the anti-authority movement known as Awakening. With the birth of the Federacy of Lyrord, the young republican state led under Róðerickur Kárólgarð survived and repel various coalitions formed by empires surrounding the revolutionary state, primarily led by the Sletharine. The Federacy brung deep socioeconomical and political change in the matter of years; with state religion being abolished, slavery banned, and various political rights instated. Although criticized for his maintainence of his own political dynasty, Karolgard led the immature republic into stability and inducted elections through Scientific Democracy, which would soon become a core part of the country's political policies. Becoming a hotspot for antimonarchists and revisionists of religious authority, Lyrord's intellectual force skyrocketed in quantity; becoming the indisputed scientific center of Parthenia until the 1900's. As these scientific movements evolved, the desire to explain the core of the universe ensued, which at the time being impossible for the rationalist being, eventually evolved into a deistic cult known since it's formation in 1824 as the Cult of the Enlightment, which has since then held onto the country's religious demographics as the dominant force. The state governed over the decades under a largely illiberal approval-dependent system, with the Chief (now Arbiter) exercing almost total power on it's subjects. Despite being largely uninvolved in foreign policies, Lyrord would become a prominent funder of revolutionary movements across the continent, through the policies of Long Beams; eventually becoming one of the country's central programs entering the 1930's with the Corporate Stunt, through Sigra Metnaðrmaðr's various international policies.

Lyrord would become a nonparticipant in both Great Wars, however would financially engage with both sides in a prominent basis - and maintained various projects of first strike and overall espionage, especially on Slethar. Most of Lyrord's funds regarding the Great War; besides the espionage plans, went towards the continuation of the increasingly more crucial Long Beams, which funded the various collectivist movements that would later rise in Atusia and Muanbia. Sigra aditionally implemented plans that would later open the Lyrian economy to foreign private markets; ending the closed economy that accompanied the original ideas of Enlightment.

The Reactionaries swore to return the status quo of Karolgard's policies, while the Reformists defended the private market and the government's multilateralism. In an attempt to solve these issues, Sigra would go on a wave of political purging aimed at Reactionary politicians, however only added fuel to the fire; with political homicide skyrocketing in rates. This divison would climax with Sigra's death in 1972, where a short-lived democratic government was usurped by a failed military coup under Commander Ánthónur Reginálðvar, which would later be killed during the rebellion by the Legalist military. After weeks fighting the uprising, the government entered a state of deep political and economical downfall as trust in the nation's stability plummeted, throwing the deeply service-dependent Lyrord into economical collapse. The dire situation would culminate into the two ideological factions signing a Concord - forming the Enlightened Concordancy in 1989; a government where the two de-jure shared equal power, abolishing the total executive status of the Third Eye, which would be reformed into Arbiter.

In the modernity, Lyrord has recovered from it's deep crisis in the 1990's, and has entered steady economical progress; joining back as a relatively stable and highly developed country. However, Lyrord is far from perfect; Sigra's corporate policies having promoved an increase in income inequality with the estabilishment of foreign megacorporations on national soil, an issue that can be observed in the country's largest financial center: Tekkingu, having among the highest rates of light pollution in the world, and among the most dense in population.

Etymology

The name Hlýrjörð, pronounced /ˈl̥iːrˈjœrð/, roughly Lir-JORD, is a portmanteau of the term Hlýr jörð, which lin Lyrian translates as Warm earth. It is suggested that this makes a reference to the merchants' observation of the island's soil as being warm compared to their homeland, which is the most accepted theory for the name's origin. It quickly catch on among the merchant republics, and eventually was inherited to empire's referring, aswell as for the revolutionaries.

Geography

Most of the country's territory is found within the Sydra Peninsula, which also harbors X, one of the country's few land neighbours. Lyrord is nearly completely divided from mainland Parthenia by Lake Frasjo, which is by far the largest source of freshwater in the country, crucial to it's infrastructure. The land is relatively flat, with the highest elevation being Mount Sif, peaking at 834 meters. This makes it the Xth lowest country in Parthenia. Owing to it's flat nature, the country is naturally prone to the formation of wetlands and floodplains, which have catalyzed the maintenance of a comprehensive flooding system which have recorded history since the 1100's with the deep settlement of Lyrians in Sydra. The interior of the country, primarily around the higher areas of the peninsula, is dominated by a woodland region known as X; however it has began to dissapear in the recent decades with the rapid urbanization of Lyrord.

Climate

Thanks to it's physical geography, alongside the oceanic currents that run through the eastern slope of Parthenia, Lyrord exclusively experiences an Oceanic climate (Cfb) per the X system, which has earned Sydra the title of a highly agriculturally exploited region of Parthenia until the administration of Sigra, where the Iron Revolution shifted the farm-based economy towards an industrial market, locking on to the modern days and subsequently culminating into the highly industrialized Concordancy.

Wildlife

Pollution

Due to the Lyrord's extensive urbanization and highly advanced technological sector, pollution can be found in almost every part of the country: Light pollution is prevalent in cities, for example with digital billboards, which have been criticized as one of the leading causes of car accidents in the country, aswell as physical pollution of nature-whether it be through the improper disposal of waste, deforestation, urbanization, among other roots.
