Lyonheimer (Lyonheimerish: Magylonheimerzstág) is a parliamentary representative republic in southern Thrismari. It borders Toubaze to the north, Medovia to the north west, Gwyenn to the West and Gotneska to the south. With around 28 million inhabitants, Lyonheimer is a medium sized centrist kingdom. The official language spoken in the nation is Lyonheimerish, however only an estimated 200,000 people even know how to speak the language and most speak Lyonheimerish. Lyonheimer's capital, and largest city is Judapest. Some other urban areas include Csepel, Emberek and Pyor. The current leaders of the nation are acting Prime-Minister Izsak Rákosi, and the Head of State is King Faveskas Orban. The country scales at 505,498km2 and the highest point is 5,281m (Mount Varsaves). Lyonheimer uses the Lyonheimerish Fornit as the currency in the nation.

Lyonheimer was first formed in the 1300s in the form of the united First Kingdom of Lyonheimer, united under one banner from the Uralic Kingdoms of Lyonheimer by Stephen I, a member of the Baros dynasty, of Lyonheimer upon the signing of the Treaty of Csepel. During his reign he set the groundwork for the first united Kingdom of Lyonheimer with his progressive, at the time, ideas as well as clearing some of the nations debt. It was also during his reign that Lyonheimer's independence was guaranteed by the Silvadum City State and Pope due to Stephen's close relations with the Pope, also being named a 'Saint'. For the following years, Lyonheimer remained stable with relations to neighbours being generally positive. The next major event was the change of Royal Family in the late 1400s, from the Baros dynasty to the new Zápolya family. One of the earliest monarchs of the Zápolya family was King Laszlo II, otherwise known as the 'Golden King'. He gained this nickname due to the vast amount of wealth he brought to Lyonheimer hoowever more importantly he put into place the parliamentary constitution, which put a parliament into place, orginally in the city of Eghear but relocated to Ójuda later on. This constitution meant that an amount of power was taking from the Monarch and given to the new parliament, a very popular move which began the trend of Parliamentary Monarchies in Thrismari, being one of the first in the world to have that from of government so early in history. Laszlo II was killed in battle during the 300 Days War, alongside his countries people. His remains are yet to be found, believed to be thrown into the sea off the coast of Pyor. It was following Laszlo's death that things started to decline slightly, starting with a class divide becoming extremely noticeable, and corruption being a huge theme. Despite this, it was also at this time, the mid-1500s, that Lyonheimer established a very strong, organised standing military, giving them great stability in the geopolitical world. The people of Lyonheimer began enjoying being a part of the empire in the mid 1500s, most living lives much better than those in neighbouring countries at the time. Great roads between cities were built and the economy was bustling under the rulership of a great parliamentary system. However this went downhill fast with the rule of Queen Lili I, known as 'Lili the Horrible' by many. Her reign began by taking a large amount of power away from the parliament and returning to a monarchy, with the parliament only advising the actions of the queen. This caused great controversy within the nation, causing many to stand up to the government. This resulted in the Lyonheimerish People's Revolt which ended in governmental victory and overtaking of the monarchy, however it much weakened the nation as royalists still do not support the government. This much weakened the military, leaving them very poor also due to war damages to cities such as Emberek and Eghear. This resulted in the Lyonheimerish People's Revolt which ended in governmental victory and overtaking of the monarchy, however it much weakened the nation as royalists still do not support the government. This much weakened the military, leaving them very poor also due to war damages to cities such as Emberek and Eghear. A further event that weakened the empire was the Lyonheimerish-Pyorvian War which cost Lyonheimer lives and money, however gaining the territory of the Duchy of Pyor. It was also around this time that the economy worsened with trade from other nations was at holt. The end of the kingdom began as Krenya looked to expand their colonial empire in Thrismari. At first, it would look like Krenya would be unable to take the kingdom of Lyonheimer due to the regional power they had. Despite this, when Krenya invaded in 1870, they easily swept through the land due to revolutionaries from Gwyenn, Emberek and Csepel who helped the Krenyans in their conquest of the nation, which resulted in the First Kingdom of Lyonheimer to be annexed into Krenyan-Lyonheimer in the year 1873.

Under the Krenyan occupation, Lyonheimer took many steps backwards. Firstly, the power of Head of State was handed to the reigning duke of Krenya, with a de-facto leader role given to the king of Lyonheimer at any time. Life also became much worse under the Krenyan occupation, with standard of living decreasing and many Lyonheimerish immigrating to foreign countries (Lyonheimerish Migration Crisis (1889)) which lead to the borders being shut down in 1890. This caused further unrest going into the 1900s, with Lyonheimer becoming considerably poorer than before as well as having less citizens, with the population estimate in 1895 being 29.5 million. In 1905, Krenya had claims to further territory in Gwyenn, perhaps with intention of turning it into a colony. To fulfil such ambitions the Duke made a proposal to the king Stephen III to invade Gwyenn in 1905, and due to being a puppet state of Krenya, he was forced into agreement, with Lyonheimer declaring war on Gywenn in November 1905. The initial months of the war started well for Lyonheimer, who had aligned themselves alongside Krenya with the Iron Pact in order to get some military support. However the turning point was as both sides began digging large trenches, Gwyenn had been prepared for attack long before the war, meaning they had a defensive line ready. Furthermore, they joined The Alliance which gave them huge military support which they needed being essentially alone in the south. Once Gwyenn had pushed through the first line, it only became worse for the Krenyans and Lyonheimerish as due to the lack of resources given by the Iron Pact they began to freeze and run out of food going into winter 1906, something that Gwyenn had no issue with due to better equipment. Morale also became low meaning the soldiers did not fight at the quality of the trained Gwyennian soldiers. By 1908, the Lyonheimerish had been pushed all the way back to the Lübbenau Mountains, with a huge yearlong stalemate as trenches were dug in the cold altitudes. At this point in the year, around 1910, Lyonheimer already knew they may lose due to economic impacts, and so they retreated forces to Judapest before official surrender in October 1911. Following the war, the decision was made to place a communist government into power was made by The Alliance as it was the most popular in the country at the end of the war, forming into the Lyonheimer Soviet Republic. The first ten years of the Soviet Republic were considered to be widely successful in comparison to the former government under Krenya, with the communist leadership working towards making Lyonheimer stable with money after the war. Issues arose as the third leader, Milkos Varmaskov, came into power. To begin with, he started to spend money on the nations army as well as moving away from allies internationally. After that, he became widely unpopular due to the 1943 Voting Scnadal in which it is believed Varmaskov may have attempted to poison his opposition Erven Vereb as well as rigging the vote in his favour. For the following years, he made many questionable decisions in which many did not agree with and as the world progressed it seemed as if communism was holding Lyonheimer back. The final straw for many with Varmaskov was his cancelling of the 1947 and 1951 elections meaning he would stay in power for as long as he wished. This caused mass outrage, with a group banding together to start the Lyonheimer Communist Revolution in 1953. The aftermath of the events were generally positive, with a parliamentary system being reintroduced, initally lead by Samir Imre who did an amazing job with Lyonheimer and it's redevelopment and modernisation with the other nations of Anteria. From the period of between 1960-1980 Lyonheimer slowly built up their economy to be on level with the other nations of Thrismari with leaders such as János Rákosi and Gordon Bajnai. In 1998, Lyonheimer was amongst the first nations to enter into the Thrismari Union, a show of great stability for Lyonheimer.

Lyonheimer is considered a middle power in global affairs, due to it's cultural, historic and economic influence. It is considered a well developed country with a high income economy and currently is ranking 'very high' in the human development index with citizens having the luxury of universal healthcare. Lyonheimer is also a common tourist destination in southern Thrismari. Lyonheimer are members of a good amount of international organisations including the Anterian World Assembly, Thrismari Union and the International Court

The early days of Lyonheimer had much political unrest, with illegitimate Kings and Queens as well as unrest for the people of the nation, however united under one banner. They began to become an influence in the early 1500s as King Laszlo II, otherwise known as the Golden King, wrote up the parliamentary constitution, putting a parliament into place in the city of Ójuda which stands
