Salmuria (Salmurian: Sarlêtiš 𐤮𐤠𐤭𐤩𐤣𐤶𐤯𐤦𐤳), officially the Great Nation of Salmuria, Abode of Heavenly Peace (Salmurian: 𐤠𐤫𐤫𐤥𐤶𐤮𐤦 𐤲𐤠𐤪𐤲𐤤𐤩𐤠 𐤮𐤠𐤭𐤩𐤣𐤶𐤯𐤦𐤳, 𐤡𐤦𐤭𐤠 𐤹𐤦𐤥𐤠𐤮-𐤲𐤤𐤩𐤠𐤫𐤰 𐤪𐤦𐤤𐤭𐤠𐤣) is an independent island country in Atusia in the Sea of Kasai and its closest neighbor is Kendal. it is officially a temple state governed by the 3 avatar gods of the Qibirad, however, most of the day to day governance is conducted through a large bureaucratic system with a tricameral parliament. It has roughly 90 million inhabitants. Salmuria also has 3 official capital cities being Enkoth, Salmus, and Idulula each named for their Qibirad incarnate god with Idulula being largest of the 3 and hosting the Lower and Upper houses of the Annilaleaara.

Etymology

Salmuria is an anglicized version of the native name "Sarldêtiš", it is unknown exactly where the name Sarldêtiš comes from but it is most likely believed to come from either the original name of one of the 3 capital cities or from an old Naciwas kingdom in mainland Atusia.

History

Pre Naciwas History

Before the arrival of the Naciwans the island of modern Salmuria was inhabited primarily by Moreuans in the North and East, and Malays in the South who have established multiple small trading clans and kingdoms.

Arrival of the Naciwas

It is unclear exactly when the Naciwas migrations started but it is most likely it began during the decline and collapse of Naciwan kingdoms on mainland Atusia in the northern Sea of Kasai region. The migrations and conquest of Salmuria began with bands of Naciwan Mercenaries being invited by certain Moreuan or Malayic clans to later settle in the fertile Western coasts. Soon the income of Naciwans would increase exponentially with entire family clans migrating over, and colonies of Naciwan cities back in northern Atusia being established. The Naciwans would overtime greatly outnumber the native populations on the island and Naciwan religion would dominate gradually evolving into modern Qibirad.

Demographics

Religion

Main article: Religion in Salmuria

Qibirad is the official state religion of Salmuria with the vast majority of Salmuria (90-95%) adhering. Other religions are largely practiced by ethnic minorities and foreigners residing in port cities where they are permitted to construct their own religious temples, the most famous example of this is in the port city and capital Salmus.

The largest region in Salmuria not inhabited by majority Qibirad adherents are the Lefsan Islands.

Language

Main article: Languages of Salmuria

Most of the population speaks Salmurian, the country's official and national language. Others include speakers of other Naciwan languages, within the greater Parthenian-Trianian family, and languages belonging to other ethnicities.

Education

Main article: Education in Salmuria

Education in Salmuria is partially centralized. K-12 is compulsory and supervised by the Education Bureau as part of the Board of Rites and Procedure, who largely set nation-wide standard which individual gujds are expected to maintain. Higher education is supervised by the Examinations Bureau within the same board, which largely is responsible for the creation of standardized testing and Kappwud exam. Literacy among people aged 15 and older was 96% in 2020.

The requirement to enter into higher education is to have a high school diploma and pass the Salmurian University Entrance Exam. Salmuria's higher education is sanctioned by different levels of diplomas, including an Associate degree in two years, a bachelor's degree in four years, and a master's degree in two years, after which another exam allows the candidate to peruse a doctoral program.

Government and Politics

Main articles: Politics of Salmuria and Government of Salmuria

Ciwas

The three Ciwas, official concurrent heads for the Qibirad Gabira, are the concurrent Heads of state who govern through a form of triarchy, religiously they are seen to be the perpetually reincarnated forms of the three earthly divine regents the goddess Kuvala sent to rule Salmuria following the collapse of the ancient Omfali Dynasty. They are largely responsible for overseeing and managing religious policy and so much of their governing authority is delegated to their Fakaweas who they directly appoint to act as heads of state on their behalf. In general they are expected to be "above petty politics" and remain neutral in partisan affairs. They also have the final authority to approve or reject judicial appointments by the Serlitoru.

Officially they have broad and wide ranging political power able to dismiss any official or politician at will as they are literally seen as the incarnations of deities, however, this use of power is exceptionally rare only having been used during incredibly rare circumstances. Typically they confirm the election of the Serlitoru in the Brigaslaleaara and confirm various legislations and political appointments.

The Nãrênau religious order is responsible for "discovering" the next Ciwš upon the death of one. The Ciwas typically are expected to give hints on and write about where they plan to be resurrected upon their death to continue their cycle of resurrection and regency. The order, while historically have been a predominantly male order has in recent years shifted to being nearly all women as part of the extreme initiation practice men are expected to undertake to join the order.

Serlitoru

Official Portrait of Serlitoru Ardukok Walwetissant Tana

The Serlitoru is the head of government and is de facto the highest-ranking political authority in Salmuria while technically being under both the Ciwas and the Fakaweas. The Serlitoru is elected by the Brigaslaleaara immediately following a general election by universal suffrage in which parties putting forward candidates, and individual perspective MBs are expected to announce the candidate they will vote for and endorse for the office. Typically following general elections allied parties will negotiate with each other on which of their proposed candidates will lead the government and coalition. General Elections are held once every 5 years and the Serlitoru may not retain the office for longer than 10 consecutive years and the Brigaslaleaara is forced to elect a new Serlitoru if one has served for longer. The Serlitoru may also be removed at any time during his or her tenure by the Brigaslaleaara or Gujdlaleaara by confidence vote. The Vidqeleaara does not have this competency. The Serlitoru is comander-in-chief of the Army, the head of the National Boards, and has the power to declare a state of emergency with consent of Annilaleaara.

The Serlitoru is responsible for the implementation and protection of the National Covenant of Salmuria, and the exercise of executive powers in implementing legislation passed by the Annilaleaara and following advisory decisions by the Vidqeleaara and has the right to preside over Vidqeleaara debates. The Serlitoru is empowered to sign treaties on Salmuria's behalf with the consent of Annilaleaara, unless the Ciwas intervene. The Serlitoru is also responsible for proposing a state budget to be approved by the Brigaslaleaara and Vidqeleaara. The Serlitoru also oversees the appointment of key positions to the various Boards and Bureaus of Salmuria, as approved by Annilaleaara and Ciwas.

Military

Main article: Salmurian Military

Salmuria's armed forces are both a model of a professional modern force and at the same time a relic of Salmuria's ancient and traditional form of governance. Salmuria's Armed Forces consist of the Green Standard Army, the The Four Banners, the Qibirad Millitant Orders, and the Salmurian Navy. There is no separate air force branch as the four banners and the green standard army each maintain their own planes as does the Salmurian navy.
