Seclya, officially the Saahein Sovereignty of Seclya (Saaheinic: Casariaat Saahein ria Seclya) is a Gothic Elven Kingdom ruled by the House of Rothilion-Ermys, situated across the south-central area of Gholgoth on the Tiamian Peninsula, south of Amador and Brewdomia. Ruling over a population of 13.6 billion citizens, the Sovereignty also lays claim to the Kritarchic Residuum in Varathron, though it has no functional control over said territory as of 2024. Headed by the duumvirate of Ostrax Ruven I Achax and his consort Issarel Rothilion-Ermys, the country juggles competing demands of its constituent races, the Saahein, Lashein, Lacerta and a small population of Stahd captives left over from its victory in the War of the Leaves against their former Hauklic masters. Most of its population resides in the south of the country, away from the harshness of the Marysia Mountains in the north. The capital city of Syva Aethel is also the country’s newest city, constructed by the elves after the conclusion of the war; its largest city is Haanathemar. It is one of the smallest nations in Gholgoth by population.
Seclya is a constitutional monarchy ruled by the Saahein, a race of elves who along with their Lashein cousins departed from Amador several millennia ago during the Amadorian expansion. The Saahein, like the native Lacerta population, were domineered into submission by the Hakulic and later Seclyai humans that would come to forge their own human empire in the land. Repressing their magical heritage, the Saahein would rise up with their Lashein and Lacerta allies during the War of the Leaves, overthrowing the yoke of their human captors and forming a high elvish kingdom in Seclya. The Royal Family of Seclya is formed by the marriage of an adopted son of Maeralya of Amador, Ruven Rothilion and the Amadorian Issarel Rothilion-Ermys. Part of the mission of the royal family is to pass down the newly released tradition of magic among the elves, along with creating a semi-autonomous partition for the Lacerta who sided with the elves during the war. Assisted by Amador, the country has rebounded from the war to become a highly-technological society of magic wielders.
The country has emerged from the war as a burgeoning center for the arts and sciences, with education becoming a central priority of the government. The highly centralized bureaucracy is dominated by its centerpiece organization, the Vulmar, its legislative body. Restoring the elves to their rightful highborn status, continuing the geological and ecological recovery from the war and contributing to a developing high-income economy are the chief concerns of the legislature and the government at large. The country sponsors numerous institutions of higher learning to help the elvish and lacertan population recover from the war and build a brighter future for themselves and their progeny. Despite its immense progress thanks to the Imperium Intervention during the war and its aftermath, Seclya in many ways remains a rebuilding nation trying to find its place among the Gothic north.

Main article: Economy of the Saahein Sovereignty of Seclya
The economy of the Saahein Sovereignty is one of the most developed in Gholgoth, thanks in no small measure to the pre-war focus on economic strength by the Hakulic-Seclyai and their free market orthodoxy, which has been adapted by the new confederation of Sovereignty races into a highly articulated artisan economy. Assistance from the Kingdom of Amador in the form of trade agreements have also helped the new elvish economy recover greatly from the War of the Leaves. The country boasts a high standard of living with redistributive wealth policies to care for the poorest of the land. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated at around $725.84 Trillion NSD, with a GDP Per Capita (Nominal) of $53,143.84 NSD. Seclya maintains an average compounded economic growth rate of 3.7% annually, and has seen its unemployment rate drop below 4% for the first time in 2024 since before the war. The highly specialized economy is one of the largest in Gholgoth.
Seclya possesses a mixed market economy with Elven characteristics, with a highly skilled labor force, relatively low levels of corruption, and a high level of technological innovation thanks to its ancient roots and the assistance in development by the Kingdom of Amador. The country’s central government operates as a dirigiste force on the economy as a whole, exerting regulatory oversight and redistributive policies to help spread capital throughout the economy and the population in general. The country’s citizens receive a universal basic income (UBI) to help meet basic needs, while certain inalienable rights like universal child and healthcare, free higher education and housing and nutritional assistance are held sacrosanct. The country is a net exporter of goods, though the trade surplus has begun shrinking in recent years as the explosive population growth has led to higher consumption and a greater market demand for goods. Seclya’s top exports include agriculture, artisan goods, forestry products, furniture, precious minerals, raw materials and an abundance of mineral resources like copper, lithium, and tin.
The Seclyai have one of the highest average household incomes in Gholgoth, with a high median household income thanks to efforts to reduce the wealth gap through redistributive economic policies. Income inequality has dropped by 2% year-on-end since the War of the Leaves, though a sizable wealth gap still remains thanks to the pre-war legacy of the market economy. The poverty rate hovers around 4% thanks to government interventions in healthcare, housing, education and food assistance. Food security is a highly prized government intervention thanks to the country’s agricultural output, strong agricultural subsidies and the social safety net. The large welfare state, backed by the strong Seclyai economy, guarantees paid vacation time, maternity and paternity leave, and compulsory health coverage through the state-owned healthcare system. Artisan guilds and trade unions have collective bargaining rights with their employers for better compensaiton packages.
