Illyntheria has a mild oceanic climate, with temperate broad-leaf forests and arable land that yields some of Illyntheria's most world renowned agricultural exports, such as their grapes, apples, pears, figs, and various berries. The full range of seasons is experienced, and temperatures range from −3 °C in winter to 22 °C in the summer. Illyntheria's beaches are a popular tourist destination during the summers.

There is little written information concerning the first civilizations that inhabited the regions of what is now Meronnia, save what can be gleaned from coins. Therefore, the early history of the region is predominantly a work in archaeology, and the relationships between material culture, genetic relationships (the study of which has been aided, in recent years, through the field of archaeogenetics) and linguistic divisions rarely coincide.
[[Relians|Relian]] tribes began to dominate the area of modern Illyntheria rather quickly during the early iron-age, with some adopting the more urban lifestyles of the coastal [[Pre-Liran|Pre-Lirans]] tribes, while those further inland retained their agrarian lifestyles.
 
The first societies in what is now Meronnia of which much detail remains are the [[Collers culture]] who spoke similar dialects and were organized into a number of small kingdoms centered around a structure of tribes and clans. This people, and their displacement by Tabers and Lorians through the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, is discussed in depth in the surviving works of [[Divicatus of Elusco]].
 
The Kingdoms of Virisimi, Cacudia, Dusella, and Manduissa, all came into existence between 450 and 300 BCE, and the linguistically and religiously diverse region saw regular changes in territory and prosperity through minor conflicts, and frequent changing of hands of the position of ''"Rix Maros"'' (roughly: "Great King"), the first among equals of the Kings, who was identified as the holder of the [[Nerto Stone]]. While etymologically unclear, the first use of the term ''Merona'', to describe the region that abided by the power of the Nerto Stone, was in 285 BCE by [[Brocchia the Taber]].
 
In the First Century BCE, [[Valatonius]] was the King of Dusella and holder of the Nerto Stone, and he gathered the armies of most or all of the Meron Kings to come to the aid of the Tabers in the campaign against encroaching armies of the Anconan Kingdom. Valatonius's army met King Salus of Ancona, who had declared himself the Orthurian Emperor, north of the Aniene River. In the [[Battle of Cenos]] the Meron army  were victorious, but in the long term the growth of the Orthurian Empire proved impossible to halt.

In 62 AD, three Meron Kings threw down their swords and surrendered their lands to the Orthurian Empire as a result of the defeat of their armies. [[King Borso]] of Cacudia refused to surrender and stole the Nerto Stone. His army was met at a bridge across the Aniene and defeated, with Borso throwing himself into the river with the Stone, which was lost forever.
 
Merona as a province of the Orthurian Empire served as a frontier with the Kingdom of Taber and the Empire's rivals and a number of forts and walled towns were settled, including Belenora, Litu, Tallius, and Cricero. During this period the Province saw improvements in infrastructure like roads, and public works in the walled towns, leading to significant improvements in overall development. After Emperor Valerius Patisar converted to Verroist Beoin, Beoin churches and missions were established in a number of walled towns in Merona Province, leading to a partial conversion of the local population, most strongly in the south.
 
Throughout the 4th and 5th centuries, the migration of Gostic Tribes from East of the Kingdom of Taber destabilized the Province as well as the rest of the Empire. Merona bore the brunt of demographic shifts, with many Gostic groups settling land in the Province and intermarrying, very quickly outpopulating Orthurian settlers in the few towns they had established. Gostic groups were violently opposed to orders from Ancona, and a series of revolts saw the final withdrawal of the Orthurian garrison from forts in Merona Province in 387 AD.
 
Small parts of the former province, in the far south, sought direct aid of the Magi who had been installed in the Fluviatta less than a century before, but the majority of Merona swore fealty to Gostic leaders establishing a new set of tribally based minor Kingdoms.
 
In 470, [[Annamatus]] and [[Viriata]], a co-leading King and Queen of the Kingdom of Licnos, took their armies Southwards after coming to the aid of Gostic forces of Almer the Great in Taber. They signed a treaty with the Magi to recognize the Fosperia territories (those lands of the Merona Province that had requested his aid) and did not loot any of the towns in that region, instead receiving payment and food as they traveled. They went as far as to attack Ancona, but their army dispersed to raid and pillage as they returned towards the North and they were unable to continue their momentum.

Illyntheria (/ɪl.lən.'θi.ɹi.ʌ/, Illyntherian: /ɪ.ɬən.'θɛr.ja/), also known as the Republic of Illyntheria (Illyntherian: Gweriniaeth Illyntheria), is a nation in Western Lira bordered by the Radea and Winst to the west, Grenzaria to the north, Sylvakia in the north-east, Gostia and Karodova to the east, and the Relias Sea in the south. The capital city and largest city is Ethribel, located along the southern shore. Illyntheria is a Constitutional Parliamentary Republic. The legislature of Illyntheria is its Parliament, or Senedd, and is elected by direct vote of the people. The President, Arlywydd, is head of state and also voted for directly. The head of government is the Chancellor, Canghellor, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by Parliament; they in turn appoint other government ministers.
