Tyrenes
Tyrenes (Tyrenian: Tyreni), officially the Tyrenian Empire (Tyrenian: Imperii Tyrenian) is a Ventismarian nation consisting of a peninsula surrounded by several islands. The nation borders Aborzhenia to the north and shares maritime borders with Orilya, Pantorrum, and North Rukonia. Located in the Centismar, Tyrenes is known for its warm Centismarian climate. The nation is home to over 60 million people.
Tyrenes’ geographic location has made it the center of much of Sunalayan classical history and many various cultures and people. The Tepos people were the first to inhabit the peninsula, forming many city states across Tyrenes and eventually colonizing further out into the Centismar. The Ilyesian Empire emerged from the Tepos and dominated much of the Centismar during the classical era up until it’s demise in the 500s A.D. Known for their disciplined legions and grand architecture, the Ilyesians The Ilyesians spread their culture, architecture, and technology throughout Ventismar, Sunafrica, and even parts of Ophion, with their impact on the globe still heavily seen through culture and language.
Following the liberation of the Tyrenian peninsula in 1489 many small kingdoms and duchies were formed. Ilyes, being one of the state’s, spearheaded the Tyrenian Unification Wars, eventually unifying the peninsula and forming Tyrenes in 1804. In 1920 the Tyrenian Socialist Republic was formed through peaceful revolution. For the next several decades Tyrenia began to industrialize and grow into one of the strongest economies in Ventismar.
In 2006 Commander Tullus Arvina lead a coup against the government and took power without firing a single shot. Arvina has assumed the position of Duce and has declared Tyrenes an empire. Arvina leads alongside the Ilyesian Council. Tyrenes is now known for its strict laws and authoritarian government lead by Arvina. Communist support still remains present in the north and has lead the nation to some instability in recent years.
