The Mysian monarchy traces its claim to the modern Kingdom of Mysia, which ruled over the modern [[Mysia (Vardana)|Commonwealth of Mysia]] in present day [[Vardana]], the islands of [[Thynia]], and coastal Vardana. The Kingdom of Mysia was first ruled by the [[House of Kamytzes]], descending from [[Constantine Kamytzes|Constantine Kamytzes, Despot of Mysia]]. Kamytzes's son, [[David I of Mysia|David Kamytzes]], held the distinction as Despot of Mysia during the [[Vardana]]-[[Lihnidos]] union, and upon its dissolution proclaimed himself [[Monarchy of Vardana|Basileus of Vardana]], Basileus of Mysia, and [[Monarchy of Lihnidos|Emperor of Lihnidos]], based on rule in Mysia and descent from [[Manuel II of Vardana and Lihinidos|Basileus Manuel II]]. Mysia would lose its mainland territories to the Hazarasp Kingdom of Vardana in 1901.

'''Mysia''', officially the '''Kingdom of Mysia''' ([[wikipedia:Pontic Greek language|Mysian]]: Βασίλειον τῆς Μυσία; [[wikipedia:Armenian language|Vardanan]]: Թագավորության Մյուսիա), is a [[wikipedia:Unitary state|Unitary]] [[wikipedia:parliamentary system|parliamentary]] [[wikipedia:semi-constitutional monarchy|semi-constitutional monarchy]] located off the northern coast of the [[Ajax#Scipia|East Scipia]]. It is located on an archipelago in the Periclean Sea, and shares a maritime border with [[Vardana]] to the south. Its capital, and largest city, is Perivolia.


The first human settlements in Mysia date back to the 11th century BCE, with the first [[Aradia|Aradian]] and [[Lihnidos|Lihnidosi Hellene]] colonies established in the 8th and 9th centuries BCE. Mysia has long been a territory of successive empires and kingdoms since the 6th century BCE, including the ancient Greater Vardana, [[Latium|Latin Empire]], [[Bayarid Empire]], Caliphate and [[Most Magnificent Republic of Aligonia|Aligonia]]. Until 1832, Mysia was a province of the Kingdom of Vardana. It declared independence in 1832 following the [[Lihnidosi War of Independence]] and the collapse of the Lihnidosi-Vardanan personal union, controlling all of Mysia and parts of the modern-day provinces of Thrassa and Eremos. The Kingdom of Mysia was often in a state of war with the other royal Vardanan successor states, and eventually lost control of its mainland holdings in 1901. It briefly regained control of mainland Mysia in 1924, following an invasion in [[Second Mysian War]]. However, by 1933 all mainland territory was lost to the nascent [[Republic of Vardana]].
At the behest of King George, mainland Mysia again reasserted its independence in 1924, during the [[Vardanan revolution]], which coincided with an invasion of the mainland. However, by 1930 the kingdom had lost its mainland territory and retreated to the islands of Thynia. At George II's death, he was succeeded by his daughter, [[Irene I of Aretias|Irene]], and entered a [[wikipedia:Personal union|personal union]] with the [[Garima|Gariman state]] of [[Nyrundy]]. Mysia has been ruled by the House of Nyrundy since 1967 – though Irene's husband [[John VII, Elector of Nyrundy]] was Basileus of Mysia by right of his wife from 1933 until his death in 1960.


Ethnic [[Mysia|Mysians]] consist of a majority of the population, with [[Vardana|Vardanans]] as the largest minority ethnic group. Mysians are overwhelmingly christian, primarily following the [[Uniate Church of Mysia|Uniate Church]] faith, which is the official state religion.
Since 2018, the [[House of Hazarasp]] co-rules Mysia due to the marriage of [[Ardil I of Mysia|Prince Ardil Hazarasp]] to [[Isabel I of Mysia|Basileia Isabel I]].
==Role==
The monarch is the semi-constitutional monarch of Mysia. As head of state, the monarch is the chief executive and chief representative of Mysia abroad. In addition, the monarch wields significant legislative and judicial authority. However, since the 1980s the [[General Assembly (Mysia)|General Assembly]] has carried out a growing influence on the legislative process. The monarch carries out executive power through decree or more often the [[Council of Ministers (Mysia)|Council of Ministers]]. Ministers are appointed and removed by the monarch. Historically, the Mysian political system has been derived from legislative action forming out of royal decrees, often  In practice, major policy decisions are often derived from the Council of Ministers. From 1945 to 2010, the role of the [[Prime Minister of Mysia|Prime Minister]] saw an expansion of influence due to the physically absent nature of the monarch from Mysia; however, the role was often overshadowed by the Despot (heir apparent) who continues to maintain a major role in government affairs.


Since 1830, Mysia has laid claim to [[Vardana]] and [[Mysia]] by way of both royal titles, most of which are unrecognized by other nations. Mysia is a developed country, with moderately high quality of life. It is the Xth largest economy in Scipia, and the Xth largest in the [[Ajax|world]]. It is a founding member of the [[Forum of Nations]], the [[Society of Latin States and Peoples]], and X.
While the monarch is the primary judicial authority in Mysia, judicial reforms in the mid-20th century were established to provide Mysia with a modern judiciary that limits the active involvement of the monarch. Typically, the monarch only becomes involved in the late stages of the appellate process and hears a limited number of cases in any given year. This is due to the customary law duty of the monarch to receive and hear petitions from its subjects.
==Name==
The Kingdom of Mysia rests on a minor archipelago surrounding a large, main island named Telepha. The kingdom derives its name from the modern region of Mysia, located on the Scipian mainland, primarily in the [[Vardana|Republic of Vardana]]. Mysia itself is believed to be derived from the ancient region of Masha, which roughly translates to Land of the Masa.

==Geography==
Mysia has an area of 3,744 square kilometers, which consists of the main island, named Telepha, and a series of smaller islands surrounding it. The main island has an area of 3,200 km{{sup|2}}, equating nearly 88% of the nation's territory. The country is X kilometers off the coast of the [[Varadana#Administrative divisions|Vardanan province]] of [[Mysia]], which forms its only maritime border.


The main island is dominated by two small mountain ranges, the Chionistra mountains and Strabo mountains. The Chionistra range cover much of the eastern half of the island and features much higher elevations than the low-lying Strabo range. The Perivolia River runs through the center of the country, and is the longest river in Mysia. Mount Olympus, as part of the Chionistra Mountains, is the highest point in Mysia at 2,109 meters.
In addition, the monarch is the commander-in-chief of the [[Mysian Defense Force]], as well as the Royal Guard and Civil Guard.

==Titles, styles and honors==
File:Vjosa bei Tepelena.jpg|River Perivolia is the largest river in Mysia
Mysian royal titles and styles are primarily derived from the Kingdom of Greater Vardana. The primary style utilized by the monarch is ''Apostolic Majesty'' ("''HAM''"), which was previously utilized by Vardanan monarchs. Despite currently lacking control of most of Mysia, the monarch continues to claimed the royal titles of Mysia and the Vardanan-Lihnidosi personal union. As such many titles utilized by the monarch are simply held in pretense, and remain contested by at least one other claimant or party. From 1933 to 2010, the Baselius of Mysia was concurrently the Elector of Nyrundy and Archduke of Nyrundy. Even though Lihnidosi titles such as Emperor of Lihnidos and King of Thasos fell out of active use during the Nyrundy personal union, there has been no explicit renunciation of these claims.

===Climate===
Mysia has a typical [[wikipedia:Mediterranean climate|Periclean climate]], with [[wikipedia:semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] tendencies inland at mid-level elevations of mountains. Coastal winters are mild. Coastal communities experience some of the hottest temperatures in the Periclean during the summer, reaching upwards of 80 °F during the day, on average, during the peak of summer.


Winters remain warm in Mysia. The average winter temperature in the capital of [[Perivolia]] sees a daily average of 66°F, with nightly lows near 45°F. Most rainfall occurs during the winter months. Snow is possible at the highest peaks of the Chionistra Mountains, particularly Mount Olympus.
The monarch's current title and style is:
===Water===
:Basileia of Mysia and Autokrateira of Greater Vardana, Grand Princess of the East, Archduchess of Nyrundy, First Venerable One, Bridger of Seas, Master of the Periclean and the Ozeros, Sovereign Ruler and Lord of the Scipian Provinces and the lands in between, Protector and Defender of the Uniate Faith.
 
===Title of the heir apparent===
==Politics==
From 1736 to 1830, the House of Kamytzes held the distinction of Despot of Mysia. Since 1830, this previously non-hereditary administrative title has been granted to the heir apparent or chosen heir of Mysia; however since 1933 has since been changed to Despot of Thynia. The heir is afforded the style of ''Royal and Apostolic Highness'' ("''HRAH''"). The feminine title is Despoina, which differs from that of Despotissa for the wife of the Despot. The title has been granted a female heir presumptive on one occasions: in 2010 to [[Isabel I of Mysia|Isabel, Despoina of Thynia]]. The current heir apparent is [[David, Despot of Thynia]].

{{main|Monarchy of Mysia|Royal Council (Mysia){{!}}Royal Council}}
The government of the Kingdom of Mysia was founded on 2 September 1830, following the declaration of independence from the future [[David I of Mysia|King David I]]. King David established a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch retained near absolute power over the organs of government and policy. Mysia remained an absolute monarchy until it underwent a series of reforms in the early 1930s and later 1985. Following these constitutional amendments, Mysia is classified by observers as a semi-constitutional monarchy. The government is headed by the [[Monarchy of Mysia|monarch]], who serves as the [[wikipedia:head of state|head of state]], supreme commander of the [[Mysian Royal Armed Forces|Royal Forces]], and [[Council of Ministers (Mysia)|Chairman of the Council of Ministers]]. Other branches of government include [[Congress of Mysia|Congress]] (bicameral legislature), and the judiciary.
Since 1933, Mysia has been ruled by the [[House of Nyrundy]], and until 2020 was in a personal union with the [[Nyrundy|Electorate of Nyrundy]], in [[Garima]]. Despite the personal union, the two realms continued to be ruled independently and few, if any, attempts were made to further integrate the realms, due in large part to political ramifications and responsibilities of the Elector of Nyrundy within [[Garima]]. The monarch was often absent from Mysia during the personal union, typically appointing his heir to serve as Viceroy in his stead. Since 2020, Mysia has two monarchs, [[Isabel I of Mysia|Basileia Isabel I]], who succeeded her father [[Michael I of Mysia|Michael I]], on 7 June 2020; and her husband [[Ardil I of Mysia|Basileus Ardil I]], who is monarch by virtue of his marriage to Isabel.
The monarch has the sole power to appoint and remove ministers of the Crown, who together form the [[Council of Ministers (Mysia)|Council of Ministers]]. The [[Prime Minister of Mysia|Prime Minister]] is considered the leading minister on the Council. He is charged with implementing the monarch's policies and administration. The Prime Minister is responsible to the monarch.
The [[Congress of Mysia|Congress]] is the bicameral legislature of Mysia. The [[Senate (Mysia)|Senate]] is the upper, premier house of Congress; senators are directly appointed by the monarch, and serve for life unless removed after an investigation and impeachment. The Popular Assembly was established in 1986, and is the elected, lower house of Congress. All members of the Popular Assembly are popularly elected from single member constituencies on a non-partisan ballot. The Popular Assembly has limited legislative functions, and in practice primarily serves as a consultative assembly. The Popular Assembly may propose legislation, but primarily votes on legislation originating from the Basileus, Council of Ministers, or the Senate. Popular Assembly elections occur every four years. Through customary law, all adult citizens have the right to directly petition the Basileus.
Elections were not uncommon in Mysia before 1986 and the first nation-wide elections. On the local level, elections have taken place in Mysia since the 1930s. The country enacted universal suffrage in local elections in 1935 by royal decree of [[Irene I of Mysia|Basileia Irene I]]. Voter turnout was down in the most recent, [[2020 Mysian local elections|2020 local elections]], at 53%, but up in the [[2018 Mysian legislative election|latest]] Popular Assembly election, at 65%.
===Administrative divisions===
Mysia is a unitary state divided into districts and municipalities. There are 5 districts, which are used for local government and some judicial functions. These districts control most local matters, such as education, transportation, and zoning, with remaining local government competencies left to municipalities.
Perivolia is the country's largest city, totaling nearly 275,000 residents. Teos is the second largest city in Mysia. Both Perivolia and Teos are located on the main island and account for nearly 43% of the controlled territory's population.
===Foreign relations===
The monarch plays a key role in Mysian foreign policy, and that policy is implemented and administered by the [[Council of Ministers (Mysia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]]. The key goal of the Foreign Ministry, and one of the most important state directives, is the achieve the reunification of [[Mysia (region)|Mysia]] and [[Greater Vardana (concept)|Greater Vardana]] under monarchist rule. Alongside these goals, the Foreign Ministry seeks wider involvement in geopolitics through bilateral and multilateral relations, membership in international organizations to ensure its continued independence, promoting Mysian culture, and ensuring strong relations with the Mysian diaspora and Mysians abroad. In 1984, Mysia nearly reunited with the mainland during the planned Mysian Succession as part of Vardanan Paramount Leader Najaryan's last will and testament. However, the Revolution of Equals and autocoup prevented such plans. As part of a 2018 poll, the [[Mysian royal family]] has a 44% favorability rating on the mainland.
Some of the largest roadblocks to these geopolitical goals are the various political and economic disputes between Mysia and the successive governments of [[Vardana]]. Since 1830, Mysia has claimed to be the government of both traditional Mysian-speaking lands, including the [[Mysia (Vardana)|Commonwealth of Mysia]], as well the lawful claimant to the vacant [[Monarchy of Vardana|Greater Vardanan throne]]. As a result, Mysia and Vardana have not recognized one another since the 19th century. The territorial extent of the Mysia has dwindled since the original declaration to only control the islands of Telepha, previously holding mainland Mysia until 1932. Today, [[Vardana]] views the Kingdom of Mysia as a region of the Commonwealth of Mysia.
Mysia is a member of the [[Forum of Nations]], [org], and [org].
===Law and justice===
{{main|Law of Mysia|Judiciary of Mysia}}
Mysia ultilizes a [[wikipedia:Civil law (legal system)|civil law]] system, with instances of uncodified [[wikipedia:Customary law|customary law]] serving as a secondary source of law. Civil law in Mysia is heavily based on [[Latium#Law|Latin]], [[Vardana#Law|Vardanan]], and [[Garima#Law|Gariman]] law.
The Mysian judiciary is considered semi-independent by outside observers due to the potential influence exerted on the courts by central, royal government; however, this has been curtailed in recent years with the advent of the [[Popular Assembly (Mysia)|Popular Assembly]]. The judiciary underwent a series of reforms in 1987 and 1988, primarily based on the judiciary in [[Garima]]. It features royal circuit courts serving as the general trial court for all private (civil) and public (criminal) matters. There are three circuit courts, one for Perivolia, and one for each the east and west ends of the country. The Court of Assidere is the intermediate court, and first court of appeal in private and public matters The Court of Cassation is the court of last resort and features a private and public division.
===Armed Forces===
{{main|Mysian Royal Armed Forces}}
The Royal Armed Forces is the military of Mysia, which is composed of the Royal Army, Royal Air Guard, and Royal Navy. In 2009, the mandatory service requirements for males was reduced from 18 to 12 months. The compulsory term of service begins after their 18th birthday.
As of 2020, approximately 15,000 individuals were trained as recruits. A shift in recruitment and training as seen an increase in enlisted rather than conscripted members of the armed forces.
The [[Mysian Royal Police Agency|Royal Police Agency]] is the national police force of Mysia. The RPA was first authorized by Royal Decree #937-8983, and later codified by the Royal Police Act in 1988. It operates a traditional police force, as well as more heavily armed gendarmerie forces, and is charged with enforcing royal law and supporting local law enforcement.
==Economy==
The economy of Mysia is predominantly based upon services, tourism, and natural resource extraction – including oil, natural gas, and some amounts of rare earth elements. Agriculture also plays a significant role, particularly olives, wine-growing, and various fruits. Most dairy sold in Mysia is local to the islands and not imported. Mysia also features a modernizing industrial sector. The country's largest trading partners are [[Garima]], [[Latium]], [[Lihnidos]], and [[Vardana]]. The [[Mysian denarius|denarius]] is the country's currency, though currencies from neighboring nations such as [[Latium]] and [[Vardana]] are often accepted by merchants.
===Transport===
[[File:Cranes Limassol Harbour 20110703.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The city of Iasos is the busiest port in Mysia.]]
Transportation in Mysia has undergone rapid change since the 1970s, featuring an expansion of motorways and additional air, rail, and water passage. Road and railways have undergone some of the most significant improvements in recent years, beginning with the creation of the R-Expressway system  in the 1970s. George III International Airport, in Perivolia, and Teos Royal International Airport, in Teos, are the nation's two international airports. Smaller regional airports and heliports are located in Teos and Cabalia, and connect the country's islands with the main island and close neighboring nations.
The port of Iasos is the country's main seaport, located on the main island of Telepha along the Periclean Sea coast. Together with Cabalia, Iasos serves as a hub for commercial, service, and passenger ships. All of the country's islands are connected via boat or air travel.
==Demographics==
The population of Mysia sits at 850,996 as of the 2013 census. Recent estimates place the population near 865,000. The largest ethnic group in Mysia consists of [[Mysia|Mysians]], estimated at 59-62% of the population. Ethnic Vardnans form nearly 26% of the population, and compose the second largest group.
Vardanans have increased in number since the 1960s, which was preceded by a swell in Mysians fleeing the civil war in Vardana. Other ethnic groups present in the country are [[Ayrum|Ayrumi]], Kards, [[wikipedia:Circassians|Lerazgan]], and Gharibs.
[[wikipedia:Pontic Greek language|Mysian]] and [[wikipedia:Armenian language|Vardanan]] are the two official languages of Mysia, as both are widely spoken and understood by nearly all of the county's inhabitants. However, [[wikipedia:Pontic Greek language|Mysian]] holds the dignity of being the official [[wikipedia:Court (royal)|court]] languages and, as such, is the sole language of court and the primary language of government.
A minor, yet noticeable Gariman minority has developed in major Mysian cities due to the personal union of Mysia and the Gariman state of [[Nyrundy]], which existed from 1933 to 2019. According to the most recent census in 2013, Garimans consist of 3% of the population.
===Religion===
The [[Uniate Church of Mysia]] is the state church of Mysia. The Uniate Church first arose during the [[Lihinidos|Lihnidosi]]-[[Vardana|Vardanan]] personal union in the late 17th century, and is in full communion with the [[Pope of the Fabrian Church|Fabrian Pope]]. Religious minorities typically do not have the freedom to practice their religion unless it is a religion officially recognized by the government. Recognized minority religions include Fabrian Rite Catholicism, Vardanan Rite Nazarism, Judaism, and various [[Azdarin|Yen]] sects. Minority religions in Mysia have traditionally been strictly regulated and controlled. Traditionally, Catholics and Nazarists have retained greater freedoms and autonomy than other minority religious groups, but with formation of the Nyrundy personal union fewer restraints were placed on protestant communities and by 1990 most religious restrictions were lifted, though religions are still required to gain recognized status with the central govrernment.
Historically, Apostolic Presbiter of Aparan served as the chief spiritual leader of the [[Aletheic Church|Vardanan Aletheic Church]]. With the end of the Lihnidosi-Vardanan personal union and Mysian independence, Basileus David I and the Archbishop of Teos broke away from the Vardanan Uniate Church and were recognized by the Papacy as the Mysian Church. In 1867, the Archbishop of Teos was became the Patriarch of All Mysia. This new patriarch was seen to be a direct response to the neighboring High Presbiter of All of Vardana. Since that time, the Patriarch of All Mysia serves as the chief religious authority in Mysia, elected by a holy synod and recognized by the Basileus and the Pope. Official census records place 73% of the population as adherents of the Uniate Church, however this number is believed to be more accurately stated around 65-70%. Nearly 20% of the population is believed to follow the Aletheic Church.

The Monarch of Mysia, officially the Basileus of Mysia (Mysian: Βασιλεὺς τῆς Ἀρητιάς; Vardanan: Բասիլեuսէ Արետիաս), is the head of state of the Kingdom of Mysia.

History

The Mysian monarchy traces its claim to the modern Kingdom of Mysia, which ruled over the modern Commonwealth of Mysia in present day Vardana, the islands of Thynia, and coastal Vardana. The Kingdom of Mysia was first ruled by the House of Kamytzes, descending from Constantine Kamytzes, Despot of Mysia. Kamytzes's son, David Kamytzes, held the distinction as Despot of Mysia during the Vardana-Lihnidos union, and upon its dissolution proclaimed himself Basileus of Vardana, Basileus of Mysia, and Emperor of Lihnidos, based on rule in Mysia and descent from Basileus Manuel II. Mysia would lose its mainland territories to the Hazarasp Kingdom of Vardana in 1901.

At the behest of King George, mainland Mysia again reasserted its independence in 1924, during the Vardanan revolution, which coincided with an invasion of the mainland. However, by 1930 the kingdom had lost its mainland territory and retreated to the islands of Thynia. At George II's death, he was succeeded by his daughter, Irene, and entered a personal union with the Gariman state of Nyrundy. Mysia has been ruled by the House of Nyrundy since 1967 – though Irene's husband John VII, Elector of Nyrundy was Basileus of Mysia by right of his wife from 1933 until his death in 1960.

Since 2018, the House of Hazarasp co-rules Mysia due to the marriage of Prince Ardil Hazarasp to Basileia Isabel I.

Role

The monarch is the semi-constitutional monarch of Mysia. As head of state, the monarch is the chief executive and chief representative of Mysia abroad. In addition, the monarch wields significant legislative and judicial authority. However, since the 1980s the General Assembly has carried out a growing influence on the legislative process. The monarch carries out executive power through decree or more often the Council of Ministers. Ministers are appointed and removed by the monarch. Historically, the Mysian political system has been derived from legislative action forming out of royal decrees, often In practice, major policy decisions are often derived from the Council of Ministers. From 1945 to 2010, the role of the Prime Minister saw an expansion of influence due to the physically absent nature of the monarch from Mysia; however, the role was often overshadowed by the Despot (heir apparent) who continues to maintain a major role in government affairs.

While the monarch is the primary judicial authority in Mysia, judicial reforms in the mid-20th century were established to provide Mysia with a modern judiciary that limits the active involvement of the monarch. Typically, the monarch only becomes involved in the late stages of the appellate process and hears a limited number of cases in any given year. This is due to the customary law duty of the monarch to receive and hear petitions from its subjects.

In addition, the monarch is the commander-in-chief of the Mysian Defense Force, as well as the Royal Guard and Civil Guard.

Titles, styles and honors

Mysian royal titles and styles are primarily derived from the Kingdom of Greater Vardana. The primary style utilized by the monarch is Apostolic Majesty ("HAM"), which was previously utilized by Vardanan monarchs. Despite currently lacking control of most of Mysia, the monarch continues to claimed the royal titles of Mysia and the Vardanan-Lihnidosi personal union. As such many titles utilized by the monarch are simply held in pretense, and remain contested by at least one other claimant or party. From 1933 to 2010, the Baselius of Mysia was concurrently the Elector of Nyrundy and Archduke of Nyrundy. Even though Lihnidosi titles such as Emperor of Lihnidos and King of Thasos fell out of active use during the Nyrundy personal union, there has been no explicit renunciation of these claims.

The monarch's current title and style is:

Basileia of Mysia and Autokrateira of Greater Vardana, Grand Princess of the East, Archduchess of Nyrundy, First Venerable One, Bridger of Seas, Master of the Periclean and the Ozeros, Sovereign Ruler and Lord of the Scipian Provinces and the lands in between, Protector and Defender of the Uniate Faith.

Title of the heir apparent

From 1736 to 1830, the House of Kamytzes held the distinction of Despot of Mysia. Since 1830, this previously non-hereditary administrative title has been granted to the heir apparent or chosen heir of Mysia; however since 1933 has since been changed to Despot of Thynia. The heir is afforded the style of Royal and Apostolic Highness ("HRAH"). The feminine title is Despoina, which differs from that of Despotissa for the wife of the Despot. The title has been granted a female heir presumptive on one occasions: in 2010 to Isabel, Despoina of Thynia. The current heir apparent is David, Despot of Thynia.
