Emessa /ˈɛməsə/ E-mə-sə; Sorianu: Imisu [ˈimisu]), officially the State of Emessa (Sorianu: Istadu de Imisu [isˈtaðu de ˈimisu]) is a Southern Euclean island country consisting of an archipelago in the Solarian Sea. 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 Euclean and Coian continents has shaped its rich history and shaped a national identity of religious and ethnic diversity. The official language is Sorianu, generally considered the closest descendant to Solarian, with the Semitic Badaviu and Atudite languages enjoying the status of national languages.
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 including the Sanians, Atudites, Piraeans, Solarians, Arasanids, Verliquoian, the Heavenly Dominion, Crusaders, Florenans, Etrurians, and Gaullicans, all leaving their mark on the islands's ancient culture. Independent principalities called vicariates emerged between 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 piracy in the Solarian Sea and beyond during that period.
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 and again in the Solarian War, also called War of Independence in the country. Emessa became a joint trust territory, and achieved independence in 1950, shortly after the Catherby Conference. A military triumvirate assumed power in the name of restoring stability during a period of religious strife from 1959-1964, and a second triumvirate came to power in 1980 during a conflict with Tsabara and disbanding six years later with the fall of Tsabara's communalist régime.
