'''Emessa''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɛ|m|ə|s||ə}} {{respell|E|mə|sə}}; {{wp|Sardinian language|Emessan}}: ''Imisu'' {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet|[ˈimisu]}}), officially the '''State of Emessa''' ({{wp|Sardinian language|Emessan}}: ''Istadu de Imisu'' {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet|[isˈtaðu de ˈimisu]}}) is a {{wp|transcontinental country}} in the [[Solarian Sea]], halfway between [[Euclea|Southeast Euclea]] and [[Rahelia|Northwest Coius]]. It lies 94 km (58 mi) southeast of [[Florena]], 100 km (62 mi) west of [[Tsabara]] and 179 km (111 mi) east of [[Etruria]]. Emessa's location at the crossroads of the [[Euclea]]n and [[Coius|Coian]] continents has shaped its rich history and shaped a national identity of [[Demographics of Emessa#Religion|religious]] and [[Demographics of Emessa#Ethnicity|ethnic]] diversity. The official language is {{wp|Sardinian language|Emessan}}, generally considered the closest descendant to {{wp|Solarian language|Solarian}}, with the {{wp|Semitic languages|Shasites}} {{wp|Maltese language|Badaviu}} and {{wp|Hebrew language|Atudite}} languages enjoying the status of {{wp|national languages}}.


Emessa has been continuously inhabited since the {{wp|Paleolithic|Paleolithic age}}. Owing to their strategic location in the middle of the Solarian Sea, the islands have been contested and ruled by a succession of powers including the [[Sanian civilisation|Sanian]]s, [[Atudea|Atudites]], [[Piraean]]s, [[Solarian Empire|Solarians]], [[Zorasan|Arasanid]]s, [[Verliquoian Empire|Verliquoian]], the [[First Heavenly Dominion|Heavenly Dominion]], {{wp|Crusader states|Crusaders}}, [[Florena]]ns, [[Etruria]]ns, and [[Gaullica]]ns, all leaving their mark on the islands's ancient culture. Independent principalities called [[vicariates]] emerged between and alongside periods of foreign domination, and became the main powers on the archipelago from the 13th to the early 19th century, with Emessa being a centre of {{wp|piracy}} in the Solarian Sea and beyond during that period.
'''Emessa''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɛ|m|ə|s||ə}} {{respell|E|mə|sə}}, officially the '''Rebublic of Emessa''' ({{wp|Maltese language|Emessan}}: ''Repubblika ta' Imisra'' {{wp|International Phonetic Alphabet|[rɛˈpʊbːlɪkɐ tɐ ˈɑmɑsˤɾ]}}) is a {{wp|transcontinental country}} in the [[Solarian Sea]], halfway between [[Euclea|Southeast Euclea]] and [[Rahelia|Northwest Coius]].

Emessa's location at the crossroads of the [[Euclea]]n and [[Coius|Coian]] continents has shaped its rich history and shaped a national identity of [[Demographics of Emessa#Religion|religious]] and [[Demographics of Emessa#Ethnicity|ethnic]] diversity. The official language is {{wp|Maltese language|Emessan}}, a language related to {{wp|Arabic language|Rahelian}} and {{wp|Hebrew language|Atudite}}, yet distinct due to its heavily solaricized traits.


[[Etruria]] invaded and captured the port city of [[Lyria]] in the name of an anti-piracy operation in 1814, gradually expanding their rule over the entire archipelago and concluding in 1839 with the [[Emessan War]]. The islands saw fighting during the [[Battle of Emessa]] in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] and again in the [[Solarian War]], also called War of Independence in the country. Emessa became a joint [[Community of Nations#Trusteeship Committee|trust territory]], and achieved independence in 1950, shortly after the [[Colton Conference]]. A pluriconfesionnal [[Government of National Salvation (Emessa)|military dictatorship]] assumed power in the name of restoring stability following a period of religious strife in 1955. Despite its victory in the [[Alban War]] against Tsabara in 1982, a failed referendum the year later led to the end of the régime and a democratic transition complete by 1985.
Emessa has been continuously inhabited since the {{wp|Paleolithic|Paleolithic age}}. Owing to their strategic location in the middle of the Solarian Sea, the islands have been contested and ruled by a succession of powers, from the [[Nimene Civilisation]] in the Late {{wp|Bronze_Age|Bronze Age}} to foreign empires, such as the [[Atudites]], [[Piraea|Piraeans]], [[Solaria|Solarians]], [[Zorasan|Arsanids]], {{wp|Crusader_states|Crusaders}}, and, more recently, [[Etruria]] and [[Gaullica]]. As a result, Emessa is home to a diverse mix of cultures and influences, with many archaeological and historical sites of differing traditions.

With the [[War of the Amelian League]] in 1450, [[Povelia]] gained significant concessions in the island, with near-absolute hegemony in Emessa's trading ports. To secure this position, Povelia turned [[Himera]] into a large fortified trading hub directly under its control, while influencing the various Emessan Judicates. This influence was disputed with various [[Rahelia|Rahelian]] sheikhdoms and, later, {{wp|Crusader_states|Crusading States}} predominantly of [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] sponsorship. [[Etruria|Etrurian]] rule of Emessa formally began in 1814, with the conquest of [[Himera]] and the eventual complete control of the island in 1843. The islands saw fighting during the [[Battle of Emessa]] in the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] and again in the [[Solarian War]], also called War of Independence in the country. Emessa became a joint [[Community of Nations#Trusteeship Committee|trust territory]], and achieved independence in 1949.

Emessa (/ˈɛməsə/ E-mə-sə, officially the Rebublic of Emessa (Emessan: Repubblika ta' Imisra [rɛˈpʊbːlɪkɐ tɐ ˈɑmɑsˤɾ]) is a transcontinental country in the Solarian Sea, halfway between Southeast Euclea and Northwest Coius. It lies 94 km (58 mi) southeast of Paretia, 100 km (62 mi) west of Tsabara and 179 km (111 mi) east of Etruria. Emessa's location at the crossroads of the Euclean and Coian continents has shaped its rich history and shaped a national identity of religious and ethnic diversity. The official language is Emessan, a language related to Rahelian and Atudite, yet distinct due to its heavily solaricized traits.

Emessa has been continuously inhabited since the Paleolithic age. Owing to their strategic location in the middle of the Solarian Sea, the islands have been contested and ruled by a succession of powers, from the Nimene Civilisation in the Late Bronze Age to foreign empires, such as the Atudites, Piraeans, Solarians, Arsanids, Crusaders, and, more recently, Etruria and Gaullica. As a result, Emessa is home to a diverse mix of cultures and influences, with many archaeological and historical sites of differing traditions. Historically, the region has been controlled by a mix of Judicates and merchant city-states, with the regional power structure in the Middle Ages being largely derived from late Sotirian administration, instead of feudal power dynamics more common in Euclea.

|Etrurian presence in the archipelago began in 1378, with the conquest of the port city of Nineve by the thalassocratic Republic of Accadia. This lead to increased influence of Etrurian maritime republics in the Bay of Povelia, with various other ports becoming afilliated to such republics, notably the Republic of Accadia, the Republic of Amelia and Povelia. With the War of the Amelian League in 1450, Povelia gained significant concessions in the island, with near-absolute hegemony in Emessa's trading ports. To secure this position, Povelia turned Himera into a large fortified trading hub directly under its control, while influencing the various Emessan Judicates. This influence was disputed with various Rahelian sheikhdoms and, later, Crusading States predominantly of Gaullican sponsorship. Etrurian rule of Emessa formally began in 1814, with the conquest of Himera and the eventual complete control of the island in 1843. The islands saw fighting during the Battle of Emessa in the Great War and again in the Solarian War, also called War of Independence in the country. Emessa became a joint trust territory, and achieved independence in 1949.

Today, Emessa is a parliamentary democracy with confessionalist characteristics, with most parties representing either of the islands' religious communities: Sotirianity, Irfan, and Atudism. Despite periods of troubles, the country has remained fairly calm and prosperous, with a upper middle income economy driven by the tertiary sector, notably tourism and banking, and a high human development index. Emessa is a member of the Community of Nations, the Aurean Forum, the International Council for Democracy, the International Trade Organisation, and the Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs. Historically maintaining a policy of armed neutrality, the country has nonetheless moved closer to the Euclean Community since the Alban War, with accession negotiations being underway since 2012.
