Nova Solarius, officially the Federal Republic of Nova Solarius, is a Isle nation that consisted the Island of Solais, and all the islands in the Celestial Island Chain in the Magna Sea. The population of 35 Million is mostly situated in the cities of Solarius. The capital of Nova Solarius is the city of Sol. The nation was founded in 12BGD by Solus I, who was stranded on the island after falling from the heavens. The nation was ruled by a mix of Roman & Korean cultures, The nobles and the city was inspired by Roman culture while the lower middle class & Peasants were more influenced by Korean culture. It wasn't until 247, that King Taejo I ascended to the throne, making him the first Korean to become King. The Kingdom of Nova Solarius lasted for over 2,200 years, ending with the Revolution, which made the King a ceremonial figurehead, with the Chancellor becoming head of Government.

The Nation of Solarius has had military victories over its neighbors from the Azaki Tribe to Kingdom of Zōsenia to even the Faelo Kingdom. Solarius had a military record of being the most powerful nation in the Magna Region. The Solarian people preferred isolationism, but the Kings wanted expansion over the land near them. It was around 277GD that all the islands were under Solarius control. After this, there would be a period of Peace called Pax Insulae.

The Feast of Apollo is the longest surviving holiday in Solarius, starting in 1BGD, it has been a popular holiday, and many flocked to see the fireworks and shows during the Holiday. The Celestial Pax is a holiday that celebrated the founder of Solarius, Solus I, and the rest of the Royal Family. The Guardian of Life is a celebration for dead relatives and to remember & celebrate them when they have left the world. It is the oldest secular holiday in Solarius, starting in 197GD, it was after a catastrophic event that left 1,000 people dead.

During the late 18th century, the Imperium Solarius was declared by Jae-Seo VI which had a period of peace and prosperity as well as expansionism and imperial rule. It was also during this time that democracy increased during the Imperium period, with the Senate having a bigger role in government and the introduction of free speech. Multiple Wars were fought against Solarian neighbors but alliances were also formed to provide stability in the region.

During the 20th Century, off-worlders had arrived on the planet, and the War of Space started against these invaders and the Solarian People. It was after this war, that technology advanced rapidly, and living conditions improved in the 1950-1990s Era or the Progression Era. Many in Solarius wanted a stronger military after the war, and soon, it became one of the strongest militaries in the world.

The Island of Solais & Zavis is the economical beating heart of the Republic, with both urbanism and the ecosystem living in harmony. Many call this the Progressivum or Progressive City.

Geography

Geology, topography and hydrography

The Solarian Tectonic plate surrounds the island nation, with it starting on the coast of Pelia to the Mountains of the Equatorial Archipelago. The last tectonic plates movement was 500 years ago when the city of Delmore was destroyed by an avalanche of Rocks coming down on the small town. The Sirene Mountains are the highest point in Nova Solarius, Mount Apollous, in the Sirene Mountain Range. The Vexius Plain consisted of the Island of Zavis, which is where the capital is located, surrounded by the Solus Sea, & the coastal area on the main island surrounding the Magna Sea. These were the fertile lands that kept the nation of Solarius alive for centuries. The Highest point of Solais Island is Mount Xia, which is about 1050m, this makes it the third tallest Mountain in all of Nova Solarius.

There are two rivers on Solais, the Magnum Flumen or Great River, that drains from the snow of Mount Xia. The Southern river is named 크리스탈 리버 (keuliseutal libeo) or Crystal River, named for its copious amount of crystals found near it. These rivers drain into the Solus Sea.

The island chain that Solarius resides in is the Celestial Island Chain. These islands are the oldest in the world, formed thousands of years ago. The islands of Zavis and Solais are sometimes combined to form Solavis in a way to describe the main islands that Solarius was formed from.

Environment

The Environment of Nova Solarius is a mix of sub-tropical to temperate forest and plains. With mountainous & desert terrain on the East side of the nation. Much of the farmland is on the far West side on the continent of Pelia.

History

Ancient times

The Isles were inhabited by Homo-Sapiens tribesmen by 100,000BGD. The people on Solais Island had been experienced craftsmen and weapon constructures not found anywhere else on the world. The development of advanced agriculture and architecture & complex societies were all over the island, with the earliest society founded around 5,000BGD, the Xais Dynasty. While on the inland Island, the Velzo Kingdom was founded around 5,000BGD. The city of Venuo was the most complex city and archaeological site in all of Solavis. The south of the island was the Seiong-jin Tribe which were hunters and fishermen & were the ancestors of the Orientisan of today.

During the 11th Century- 8th Century BGD, the civilizations all developed tool and objects around the same time. The each island did have their own specific resources that other islands did not have. The civilization on the island of Equila had plenty of gold reserves, providing jewel making and coin minting. They were the first civilization to have coins as currency in the region. The Faesol-Daegol civilization had invented rope and string for building their settlements and making the tallest human-made structure in the Pre-historic era until 5BGD.

The Saius Civilization of the massive Island of Aequator was founded near the Dire River and had been hunter-gatherers & nomadic tribesmen. They were founded to be master architectures, with their tents being wind resistant due to the storms on the island, still found in the Calvors State of Nova Solarius. The smaller but just as important Vauxian people on the large Island of Vaux were great at farming and food preservation, creating the first 'refrigerated' process to delay food rotting, which made for better meals and a more wealthy society. The Kingdom of Vauxis was the last island to fall during the Isle Wars (5BGD-277GD) in which the capital of Vaux, Xios, held out for 2 years due to ample food supply and storage. It was the longest siege during the Isle Wars.

The Faelin Civilization, the two predominately tribes were the Kiji & Raui Tribes. They were important to the measurements used in Nova Solarius, the Grae Measurements, used by the Faelin tribes of both islands of Faesol & Daegol. They also were the only civilizations until antiquity to use chariots pulled by Horses. The Daegol people were into archery & were masters at horse archery, and were recruited by the Kingdom of Solarius during times of war. The Equila Republic was the only republic in the Celestial Island Chain, and was a key ally for Faelo during the Fae-Sol Wars. The Equila Republic was an ally with Faelo but became allies with Nova Solarius after the defeat of Faelo in 197GD.

There was one other predominately civilization, though not on the main island of Solais, they were on the island south of Solais, named Telcor, where the Zōsenia Civilization had been and thrived, and was good at navigating the seas and ocean, having even reached the West Coast of Pythia, with ancient artifacts from the Zōsenia Civilization with bows and swords only native to the island because of the unusual shape, they were very disquisitional from other Pythian tribes.

The Estimated population of Pre-Solus Civilization was around 100,000 by 1,000BGD. Due to the limited land area, the population couldn't go more than 1 million and had reached that population by 550BGD.

The Founding of Sol

In the Autumn of 20BGD, Solus Celestia fell from the Heavens, and landed on the Island of Sol, then called the island of Haijo, now modern Zavis, and began conversing with the population. He used his charisma to sway the leaders of the villages on the Island to form one united City. By 15BGD, the Elders agreed and appointed him the Chief Elder of the city. It was 3 years later, on October 15 12BGD, that he was proclaimed King of Sol. He started building projects all around the city and developed architecture that was resembling the Old Roman Structures. It soon began the biggest construction of a city for 10 years, and was the biggest Solarius ever seen for 500 years. The streets were laced with Marble Roads, and drainage systems never have seen before on the island. This level of engineering was almost impossible for those people in the Antiquity Age, but it was done by the mind of Solus, and the Strength of Greco Julus. Solus didn't prioritize the palace, instead, he wanted the the citizens to be sheltered first. During the Construction, Solus stayed in a luxurious Apartment called the "Holy Room". This Apartment is the oldest building in Solus as of 2195. The houses had brick roofs and white walls with different color strips that each resident picked for their homes. Most had chimneys, but they were just vents to the outside. The Celestial Palace was built in 5BGD and was the official residence of Kings/Emperors of Solarius.

Antiquity of Solarius (12BGD-500GD)

Solus Celestia was proclaimed King of Solarius in 12BGD. The Nation had experienced technological advancement during the Century Era (12BGD-235GD). Many inventions such as the plow were invented & educational & Military advancements progressed throughout the era. Literacy rates were high among the Solarian, and in all states except Equila, where magic is preferred over technology. The Aqueducts provided fresh water to the city of Sol, and upgraded towns from mere villages to towns. Advancements in farming led to help feeding a bigger population, with fertilizer & bone meal being introduced.

The first University was founded on the Celest Archipelago in 10BGD, named the Universitas Galaxia Solaris (University of Solar Galaxy), by Solus I to help promote education to the people. It was after a series of reforms made by Solus that expanded the education system. The series of reforms were called the Princeps Intelligentiae Progressio, which made schooling mandatory for ages 3-20.

Situated in the Celestial Island Chain, the Great Archipelago of Solavis (consisting of the islands of Zavis and Solais) was the island that the Solarian people had been living on for centuries. During the reign of Solus I, Solarius had expanded to the rest of Solavis, peaceful or Militarily, either way, he soon united the island in 5GD. During the Isle Wars, Solus I expanded into the surrounding Islands, though, it would take another 200 years for Solarius to take control of all of the Islands. The Faelo Kingdom & the Kaix Dynasty were two of Solarius biggest rivals in the region. It would be at the Battle of Xios would the final island, Vaux, be conquered. It was due to the expansion, many adventurers ventured to the Island of Aequator, which was home to many cultures and people. Hearing news of this, the Kings of Solarius sent out diplomats to the tribes and nations of the island, establishing relations with the island by 100GD. After the Isle Wars, a period of peace known as Pax Insulae (280-485GD), which lasted 210 years, with only minor wars and skirmishes from pirates and tribesmen. During the 5th Century, political turmoil erupted, with scandals erupting throughout the Royal Court. After the Pax Insulae, rebellions and wars soon turned on Solarius. The rebellions were crushed by Seong I, ending a period of 5 Long years.

During this period, the Kingdom of Solarius is named Vetus Solarius, which marks the beginning of Solarius. During the Vetus Era, the nation was ruled by 26 Kings, each improving Solarius.

The Era of Celestia(500GD-1215GD)

With the reign of Valxius V, the Era of Celestia had begun. This era had brought technological and economical advancements, with also and the presence of Iacrix Continent gone by reports of the Terra Inquisitionis in 584GD. A rise in crime also happens consequently with pirate attacks and criminal syndicates, with the Solar Syndicate becoming a major Political Syndicate, with on an off alliance with the Government. The Pirate Wars was a major conflict during the Era, with trade and the economy being affected by raids. The governors of the states all tried to crack down on these criminal sysndicates, but ended up being bribed to keep them running, in exchange for some profit. This period of corruption in the government was known as the "Blind Governors Period" which was from 623-651GD. It ended due to Zacharias I policy to remove corrupt governors, which in turn lead to decrease in local markets and better administration within the government.

During this period, Solarius began trading with other nations outside of the Celestial Island chain as raw materials were hard to come by at this point. Under Zacharias I reign, Solarius began trading with the new Continent known as Pelia. The first nation Solarius interacted with on the Continent of Pelia was in 597GD (13AR), when ships belonging to the Nobleman, Victor Gusus, who sponsored the exploration of the new lands under the permission of Celestius I.
