The Five Families of the Asterias (Ruttish: penkios Asterijos šeimos) is a historical and political theory, developed by Aucurian historian Jurgis Sileika, which seeks to explain the variations in when and how the countries of Asteria Superior and Asteria Inferior declared their independence from Euclean colonialism. The theory was first described in a 1983 journal article published by Sileika, and further expanded upon in his 1987 book The Birth of the Asterias.
The theory posits that the countries of the Asterias can be divided into five "families" which obtained independence at similar times, for similar reasons, or in similar ways. These families are the early revolutionaries, which declared & obtained independence between 1764 and 1813 and were broadly motivated by the liberal ideas of the Enlightenment and, towards the later end of this period, the Etrurian and Weranian revolutions; Chistovinalia, Soravian colonies which remained under Soravian rule until the First Soravian Civil War; Nuvanosatavia, Hennish-founded but Estmerish-run colonies which were granted substantial autonomy after early revolts and ultimately obtained independence peacefully; the continental Gaullophones, who were given sufficient autonomy by Gaullican authorities to remain at least nominally under Gaullican control until the Great War; and the Arucians, small island colonies which proved easy to keep under Euclean control and were thus the last to obtain independence.

Background
[some stuff on sileika writing this book just after the Velvet Revolution in Aucuria and the Asterian Spring across the continent - maybe sileika was already looking at this period of history but the wave of anti-dictatorship upheaval of the spring made him think about investigating the history of rebellion and independence specifically]
Overview
In both his original journal article and The Birth of the Asterias, Sileika divides the countries of the Asterias into "five families" - the early revolutionaries, Chistovinalia, Nuvanosatavia, the continental gaullophones, and the Arucians. In The Birth of the Asterias, Sileika continues to refer to these groups as the "five families", but additionally notes a sixth group - those territories in the Asterias which remain under Euclean control.
Sileika argues that each of the five families is connected by when they obtained independence, if and why they sought independence, and how they sought independence. However, Sileika also notes that membership in a particular family does not always result in the same post-independence outcomes, which he attributes to the diversity of economic, social, and political factors between various Asterian countries.
