The Your Majesty's Honored Kingdom of the Sapphire Bay of Lionsroar, colloquially known as the Sapphire Archipelago, Regnum Sanctae Maris et Insularum, Lowenburg or simply as Lionsroar, is an absolute monarchy in the North of Trica. They occupy the largest area on the continent, divided into seven different main territories. There is West Meridian, bordering East Meridian in the East, the Southern Mountains with the southernmost point of Lionsroar, a barren and not very busy area, the two islands Northern Rock and King's Rock with the official capital and important trading ports. Then to the west there is the larger area of the far north with great fertility and important grain and livestock products, and the politically diverse west of the country with great economic power.
The monarchy is led by an ancient royal family, the Rothmunds, located at King's Castle in Lowenburg. The country has a high level of administration with vast amounts of bureaucracy to keep the absolute power system running with a monarch. The quality of life is low, the economy is depressed, and the political situation in the outer more remote regions unstable. Despite all this, there is a large power apparatus of the royal family, consisting of the secret service, police, military, multi-media presence, as well as ideological support from history and the country's various religions. The country also has a rich diversity of species, cultures, and climate as well as geographic features due to the several territories.
The Kingdom has a total land area of 403.916 km² (15,901 pixels), making it the largest nation in the setting. The population of Lionsroar is at 33,6 million with the majority of the people living on the western mainland. The nation is divided into a complex system of counties, duchies, principalities, and other forms of government, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the country's history in the form of a unified and partly unstable federal state.
The people of Lionsroar are a mix of different ethnicities and cultures, with influences from the indigenous inhabitants of the islands, as well as immigrants who have arrived over the centuries. The culture of the archipelago is rich and varied, with traditional festivals, music, and art that reflect the unique history and heritage of each island.
The economy of Lionsroar is based mainly on manufacturing, trade, and tourism. The beautiful and artistic towns of Lionsroar, together with its mild oceanic climate, enduring fertility and especially the garden art are major reasons for the country's outstanding tourism. The grand mountains to the West and the rich ore mines to the South are important bases for the Lionsroarian manufacturing set up.
Despite its isolation, the Kingdom of Lionsroar has a long and proud history, and its people are fiercely proud of their culture and heritage. In particular, the great concept of neutrality is upheld in Lionsroar. Tourists are one of the lifelines of the entire economy, and external conflicts should be avoided as a result. Nevertheless, there is also a darker side to the state. The class-based social system, the absolutist monarchy and the democratic past triggered an economic and civil crisis that has yet to be resolved. The erasure of historical relics, the attack on the proud culture of Lionsroar and much more in the democratic period have left the federal states of the country in an unstable political situation.
Government
Lionsroar as a kingdom is an absolute monarchy, headed by a monarch in a ruling family. A tradition that has existed for several centuries, and despite political developments in recent years, especially in the direction of democratic and socialist movements, remained established and guided the destiny of the citizens as the used system of government. Such a system with a single person includes a huge amount of bureaucracy and coordination that makes up the state system. Corruption, mistakes, and just the bureaucracy and lack of coordination are always occurring problems and keep the quality of life low. Despite all this and political and economic problems and divison, the government is firmly in the saddle; the long years of civil war and serious economic mistakes made by smaller regional democratic and socialist constituent states ensure that the government has broad support, which will not subside in the coming years. A pronounced media presence for the crown prince in the country's nationalized propaganda institutions ensures just that. The government is also legitimized not only by its long history, but also by its ideological treatment of it. The royal family and aristocratic families are classified as clearly superior and are in some cases even fanatically venerated. In particular, the cult of ancestors, which ideologically legitimizes the current government, is an important instrument for maintaining the authoritarian absolute system, by “guiding the current monarch through the history with the help of previous”.
Currently, the Lowenburg family sits on the golden throne of the rulers of Lionsroar. A time-honored royal family, having a long history of working their way up as chamberlains and advisors to previous kings. They have little economic influence but are able to maintain royal status through clever alliances, clear threats, and of course the instruments in their power protection apparatus. The current head of house is Brahmer von Hochlinden, King of Lionsroar and Prince of Sertingburg, a small but ancient port city in the far north of Lionsroar. However, his power is also restricted and limited by other noble families, such as wealthy entrepreneurs or media presences, who have been able to gain much influence as a result. Leading to a to a politically unstable system with incredibly complicated regional politics.
Aristocratic Absolutism (also known as Lowenburgish Absolutism) is the Lionsroarian form of an absolute monarchy. The head of the state and the government is always a royal family with an absolute monarch as the current ruler (see here). In the decentralized-chaotic political structure of the monarchical order of Lionsroar, there are a multitude of power structures that have a claim to a higher power. These higher groups (called aristocratic groups, which do not only include the nobility) are the king's task to keep under his control.
Geography and Climate
Lionsroar is located in the north of Trica and spans over a wide variety of geographic zones. Basically, the geography of Lionsroar can be divided into seven parts. There is the maritime almost tropical climate of the two large islands King's Rock and Northern Rock, the permanently warm and hot climate of the south and interior of the continent, as well as the more temperate zones of the north and west. Lionsroar is divided into 7 political territories, which attract attention with different national borders and natural features. The main point of Lionsroar is the small territory of the west, the Principality of Trastemur, where the capital Loewburg is located. Covering an area of almost 800km², it is home to about 3 million inhabitants, one eight of the total Lionsroarian population. The capital extends from Lion's Bay into the interior of the continent, bordering the western mountain range to the south, the empty plateaus to the west, and the fertile hills and meadows of the country's second territory to the north. At the southernmost point of Lion's Bay lies the large port city of Roarndia, which also serves as the capital for the extensive Southern Territories. The southern part of the country is sparsely populated and borders by the Western and Southern Mountains, but has a rich supply of resources. The climate is always dry, and regular hot spells cause the population to congregate on the tropical beaches facing the bay and on the eastern river facing to the Pendragon. To the east lies the border area with Meridian, the West Meridian Province, a politically unstable point, stirred up by periodic uprisings and crises, also in relation to the neighboring state. This territory is economically very string, but politically very diverse and often broken. Due to political developments in the past, there is only a minimal land border with a small exclave of East Meridian, as well as contact with the northern island off Lionsroar.
At the same time, there is also a so far neutral relationship with the Saturn Republic. Connected by the great Meridian Forest and trade restrictions, such as electricity and raw materials, both are dependent on each other and therefore evaluate each other more positively.
In the heart of Lionsroar are the islands of North Rock and King's Rock, which form a trade triangle with the capital. They form the economic and political heart of Lionsroar and can also benefit from various tourist flows using the southern and western parts of the islands, the capital and the northern bay parts of the southern territory. However, these islands also have a history of natural disasters that regularly shake the islands due to their open position to the North Sea. Finally, there is the northern territory of Lionsroar, which looks out over fertile plains and hills. It is the agricultural powerhouse of Lionsroar and supplies all other provinces together. It is politically divided into various small administrative units, but relatively politically stable. It borders the capital to the south, where along the coast into the north, the majority of this most populous province lives. Due to the small administrative units and political history, the fertile plain extends only partially into the continent, where it is cut off from the western mountains in the south and borders on barren steppes and weather areas in the far northwest, which are not inhabited and are not officially included in the border of Lionsroar.
Economy
Lionsroar's economy is clearly defined and limited by various guidelines and regulations. Lionsroar executes the so-called lionish-regulated economy, a system where smaller companies are completely free and function under capitalism. In addition, these are also little taxed and supported by the state. This serves mainly to calm citizens and to create diversity of the economy, as well as to avoid overwhelming competition for the throne by oligarchs and big businessmen. Despite these measures, there are still larger companies that can intervene dangerously in politics. This stage is characterized by strict economic and financial regulations, high tax rates, nepotism, and a good position in relation to the royal family in order to mitigate the danger. However, due to the high level of bureaucracy and corruption, this can also tip over again.
One of the points mentioned above are oligarchs and big businessmen, who usually make it into the aristocracy through artificial success and thus have great political influence.
Due to the diverse geographical distribution, Lionsroar also has different types of industries. The strongest is the manufacturing industry, which is mainly located in the east of the country in the province of West Meridian. This is mainly due to the high population in the east, as well as the technically advanced country Saturn Republic. Lionsroar is also a very large producer of various raw materials, especially natural gas and coal, which they also export abroad. Another point in the production sector is agriculture, which is located in the northwest of the country. It is almost not calculated for export, but for the supply in Lionsroar itself. And the last big industry is tourism and accompanying services, which are mainly in the west, the two islands and the far south.
This economy also requires a lot of energy, which is mainly found in the east of the country. For example, West Meridian is home to the Bruck-Stein and North Coast Nuclear Power (NCNP) plants, which provide much of the energy supply for the east, but also export a lot of electricity to neighboring countries. However, the most used type of power generation is gas, which is found in the great North Sea off Lionsroar. It powers the north and center, as well as much of the capital to the west. In the south, in the tourist areas, there are also experimental other types, mainly of renewable energy, such as hydropower, solar power, wind power and ocean currents. Ultimately, however, coal power is also very large in the mountainous south.
These companies in the east also produce a lot of various wastes that need to be disposed of as well. There are official collection sites for paper, glass, clothes and plastic, as well as other electrical appliances. Paper and glass are melted and incinerated, while plastic is mainly transported abroad to poorer countries. Items such as electrical appliances are used for a longer period of time and are completely recycled. The various smaller stores in the economy also serve this purpose, while the larger manufacturers in the east mainly export.
The industry runs through a wide variety of infrastructure means. A large part runs directly over the water, due to which Lionsroar also has various inland ports and, in the far north, deep-sea ports. Lionsroar has an incredibly large number of forwarding companies that swim around in the difficult waters of the far north. In the individual land areas, are used mainly freight transport by rail. Thus, especially in the manufacture-rich east there is an incredibly high density of rail, while especially in the tourist areas there is less freight traffic. The road system of Lionsroar is expandable, and limiting everywhere except in the capital, with less trade going over the roads as well.
History
The history of Lionsroar is extensive and will be continued in the following days, weeks and months. There will always be new additions. BC = Bevor Kronen (Before Crowns)
NC = Nach Kronen (After Crowns)
Pre-History
Lionsroar, a collection of interspersed large and small territories, has undergone a long and dynamic transformation throughout its history. The boundaries of this territory have undergone constant shifts, with islands disappearing and others emerging, while others were altered by natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes, or war and human activities. The entire land mass of these islands has undergone dramatic changes over millions of years, with geological processes such as tectonic plate movements and volcanic eruptions affecting their shape and size.
Lionsroarian researchers believe that the islands originated from the protocontinent of Trica, from which the Lionsroarian archipelago split off over the history. Over millions of years, the continent underwent various geological transformations, including the rising and falling of mountains and the formation of new land masses through volcanic eruptions. During this time, the continent was home to a variety of exotic creatures, including dinosaurs, which dominated the land with their size and power.
However, a catastrophic event, such as a massive tidal wave, brought an end to the reign of the dinosaurs and paved the way for the emergence of mammals as the dominant animal species. The rise and fall of sea levels over time, as well as the shifting of tectonic plates, ultimately led to the transformation of the continent into the current Bay of Lionsroar. This transformation, along with its unique geological history, has created an incredible biodiversity of flora and fauna, making Lionsroar a fascinating place to explore and study.
First humans
(> pre 10,000 years)
The first humans reached Lionsroar and the islands around 40,000 years ago. Proto-Trican ethnic and tribal groups migrated up from the south and colonized much of the North Trican continent in this first migration. Long before these newly immigrated groups, other humans and human-like beings dominated much of the northern continent.
In a second smaller migration for unexplained tribal and environmental reasons, scattered groups of people crossed the Western mountains and reached what is now western Lionsroar mainland. Now isolated from other tribes and ethnic groups, important cultural characteristics of the predecessors of the Lionsroarians developed.
Old-tribal period
(20,000BC to 12,000BC)
During this period, the first cultural characteristics of the pre-Lionsroarians developed. A clear differentiation from other North Trican ethnic groups took place. This included the development of a Proto-Lowenitsch language, as well as the first genetic traits and other forms of cultural identification. Isolated from other ethnic groups, the tribes lived in the region around the southern and western Lionsroarian mainland. They formed hunting and gathering groups, and only later developed the first sedentary tendencies. Cave paintings and discoveries of proto-mainland animals, which were not actually at home on the lands of Lionsroar, provide evidence of the second migration. Exhibited in museums on the Lionsroarian mainland, traces of the past can still be seen today.
Sedentary period
(12,000BC to 3,000BC)
After 8,000 years of development in the hunting and gathering groups, the individual nomadic tribes around the Western Mountains became more sedentary and founded various settlements on the west coast of Lionsroar. Today, the old settlements have been found and some have even been restored, providing an insight into a simple time of survival. These settlements, built on the west coast, were based on the warm northern currents and the fish-rich coastal areas. Agriculture, livestock and farming were practiced. The wheel was used and fire was spread. Simple hierarchies developed according to the strength and wealth of a settlement, while basic funerary customs and shamanic idolatry were practiced.
In a third migration at the beginning of this period, the islands of Lionsroar were completely colonized with simple boats and rafts originating from the Mainland, which were used for fishing. The trigger is buried in history, but cultural displacement and overpopulation is given as the reason. These pre-Lionsroarian ethnic groups developed their own cultural diversity and regional identities on the islands, which still exist today. Around 3,000 BC, the settlements expanded into the first real cities through increased primary trade with each other, also establishing settlements on the eastern part of the bay, forming the first borders of what shall later become Lionsroar.
First civilization
(3,000BC to 100NC)
Trade and the relationships associated with it began the development of the Lionsroarian national identity. Clearly defined as different regional and cultural units of the same origin, the simultaneously developed civilizations were perceived. Individual dialects of Proto-Lowenitsch, as well as a standardized basic language, are convincing evidence of the different regional identities on a common historical basis. Tribal religions and idolatry declined, while various pantheons developed in the cities. At the same time, the pantheons also took on an important role in the new culture of a social system. Religious superiors took the lead, while a simple caste system of warriors, peasants, religious and secular leaders and various outcast groups was formed.
Historically lost wars were fought among the cities for the prosperity and simple wealth of cattle, land, resources and people. The political landscape of the archipelago changed annually. Alliances among long forgotten castes and houses were formed, the origin of today's aristocratic system, while plagues and natural disasters caused the common people to suffer alongside human oppression. For about 2000 years, these powers struggled for supremacy and control over their territories. Various unknown fell and crumbled under the wars, while others had short living periods of peace and prosperity. An advanced civilization from the mainland formed an alliance of cities that shaped the entire archipelago. The first scripts on Old-Lowenitsch, a standardized currency and even a feudal-like system of rule shaped the bay and led to a new leap in development. The civilization crumbled under the boots of the other cities, but the system endured and was eventually taken up by another great power in 41NC.
First Dynasty
(41NC to 203NC)
This great power was the First Dynasty. Born out of a confederation of cities in the west, this monarchic system is specified as a system with a king as supreme head, similar to the first advanced civilization. Uniform currency, uniform language and uniform trade in the archipelago were its characteristics. In a campaign of naval battles, the First Dynasty conquered a large part of today's Lionsroarian western and southern territories, as well as the islands of the belonging archipelago and formed a unified Lionsroarian confederation for the first time in history. This confederation ruled the entire for 1104 years and shaped the self-image of the Lionsroarian population like no other political event. It established the entire monarchist system as a matter of course and for the first time shaped a prototypical idea of a Lionsroarian identity. At the time, of course, there was still little sign of this, as it was an extremely loose confederation that ceded a great deal of autonomy and independence to the cities. Regional identities were solidifying.
At that time, there was still no talk of a unified confederation of states, but rather a union of equals among equals. The name "League of Kings" was only given later by historians in the course of a stronger self-identity.
Tale of the Legendary Godking
(203 to 412)
The years of the League of Kings are often given differently and a clear historical attribution of events and personalities is unfortunately not possible. Religious and glorified depictions, often victims of deliberate changes or misfortune, distort past reality. This includes the reign of King Valentin Aurina, the historical figure behind the legend of the Godking. A king in the golden age of the League, taking rule over the established eastern territories and uniting Lionsroar under his rule in the divine campaigns. With his work, he created a state with order and laws from a loose monarchist system. He wrote the Great Codex, an earlier collection of laws, he established a state and set up institutions, including the Council of the People and the Council of States. He reformed the medieval army and firmly prescribed the feudal estate system. He established aristocratic absolutism and had magnificent buildings erected. He created a personality cult around himself and established himself as a god. To this day, he is celebrated in the Lionsroarian state religion of Imperial-Royal Polytheism of "Imperatius" as the first official king and founder of the current system. According to the belief, current monarchs are advised by the souls of their predecessors, who look down on Lionsroar from the Eternal Palace, led by the Legendary Godking, legitimizing the monarch's actions.
Second Dynasty (Sister Dynasty)
(412 - 789)
This next long period directly follows the 371-year period of the First Dynasty. Under Valentin Aurina the Great, a proper formal state system was established and advanced philosophies, sciences and arts were practiced. The Second Dynasty followed after the end of the 18th ruling family of the First Dynasty, the Aurinas, and ended a long period of history known as the Golden Age. The arts and sciences only declined in the period that followed, while militarism and oppression greatly increased. The early period of the dynasty (until 489NC) was ruled by the Dinars, a noble family who served as chamberlains to the Aurinas. They put down many rebellions and wars and consolidated their own power until a bastard son of the Aurinas took the life of the king and the reign of the bastard family began. In the following centuries, 8 ruling families alternated the history until 769NC. The previously established Council of States took power and squeezed the peasants of the lands hard. A series of revolts arose as other ruling families attempted to take power, plunging the land into a dark period of war and destruction. The League of Kings was in a full-blown Civil War.
Dark Era (Civil War)
(789 to 968)
The Civil War, also known as the Dark Era, was a long-lasting period in the League of Kings with pronounced warfare, plagues and inhumane periods. With over 5 million deaths from conflict alone, and much more from famine and plague, it was the largest population decline in Lionsroar ever. Various parties tried to seize power and control of the League. None succeeded, and the League continued to be divided.
Minor Kingdoms (Third Dynasty)
(968 to 1145)
After the dark years of the Civil War, several minor kingdoms and states emerged as joint claimants to the throne of the League. There was no clear winner or dominator, but by common consent the structure of the League was changed and a puppet was placed on the throne. The third dynasty is also known as the puppet dynasty. Trade increased again and the severe population decline was compensated for.
The great plague
(1145 to 1203)
During the Third Dynasty, the League recovered from its bad times and grew back looking to revive a new Golden Age. However, this was once again interrupted by the 65-year plague, also known as the Great Plague. A plague outbreak from the mainland quickly spread throughout Lionsroar in the revitalized trade and destroyed entire regions. The League never recovered, officially dissolving in 1203, a full 1104 years after its founding, and redistributing power to smaller kingdoms. This period also saw another great cultural, economic and artistic collapse and was the end for many old ruling houses.
Warrior Kings (Fourth Dynasty)
(1203 to 1487)
After the dissolution of the League, a great power vacuum had been created on the Lionsroarian islands. Various small monarchist states tried to fill this vacuum and fought over the remnants of the glorious state. The Eastern part emerged as the most prominent of these, whose isolation on the islands and strong trading fleet meant a great deal of power. After 2 centuries of war and renewed changes of power, the power vacuum was filled with the founding of the Eastern Confederation of Lionsroar in 1487.
Eastern Confederation of Lionsroar (Fifth Dynasty)
(1487 to 1869)
The Eastern Confederation of Lionsroar was founded in 1487 and represented the Fifth Dynasty of Tradekings. With their fleets, they ruled the vast seas and were responsible for much of the trade. They reunited much of the archipelago of Lionsroar, while the southwestern part and the western mainland in particular continued to exist as a separate realm. This was also the first time that the entire archipelago was united as "Lionsroar" in another confederation. At the same time, the confederation also turned part of the social order upside down, as middle-class businessmen and traders in particular were now included in the nobility and the government. The economy was liberalized and successfully capitalized. The Confederation successfully adapted to the industrial revolution in the 19th century and switched to new commercial techniques. At that time, however, art was once again emphasized and many traditional buildings from the Middle Ages of the earlier dynasties were restored. Nevertheless, there was still no commercial tourism, but the economy was based more on the resources of the East and the materials of the islands, which could be processed in factories.
Collapse of the Confederation
(1869 to 1911)
The collapse of the Confederacy was a gradual process. With the industrial revolution, the labor class developed, which was now at the bottom alongside the farmers. At the same time, the bourgeoisie meant more again. The lower classes were exploited more and more, the land and the surrounding area suffered more, while the nobility and the new bourgeois elite gathered more and more power. An independent self-image of the lower classes developed, which was to be understood in terms of the Enlightenment. Secret underground movements of a philosophical and political nature increased. Suffering and misery were perceived more strongly and blame was placed on the elite of the Confederacy. Democratic, socialist and communist movements opposed the liberal economic functionaries and the conservative monarchists. Acts of violence were not uncommon and the political situation was more than unstable. This all culminated in the murder of many of the heads of the elite at an extraordinary council meeting in Meridiumsburg on March 29, 1911 by the "United Underground", a movement of democratic, socialist and communist forces. In the aftermath, however, various forms of government were proclaimed throughout Lionsroar by different resistance groups. A period of anarchy followed.
Period of Anarchy
(1911 to 1945)
The period of anarchy followed the fall of the Confederacy and the proclamation of several state systems. The Sixth Dynasty was proclaimed in the west of Lionsroar in the capital Lowenburg, while democratic and socialist states emerged in the northern islands and the east. The monarchist west (called West Lionsroar) declared war on the democratic and socialist states on April 29, 1911, one month after the fall of the Confederation. Civil war reigned again for 34 years, while the country sank into a humanitarian crisis. It was not until January 8, 1944 that the newly formed Union of Democratic and Socialist Republics of the East, joined the war and changed the tide for a democratic future of the archipelago. West Lionsroar collapsed and the ruling family went into exile. In 1945, the Second Democratic Republic (officially: Second Union of Democratic and Socialist Republics of Lionsroar) was proclaimed as the first united nation state of the Lionsroarian Bay and Islands.
Democratic Second Republic
(1946 to 1992)
The Second Democratic Republic of Lionsroar was proclaimed in 1945 after the civil war was won against the monarchist West Lionsroar. A direct democracy organized in people's councils and a people's parliament, led by a single president, combined the socialist ideology of equality with democratic tendencies in a federal state. The monarchy was now officially deposed after two millennia. The word "freedom" was now at the forefront. A liberal-capitalist economic policy was introduced, partly to the reluctance of socialist MPs, while the estate system was officially abolished and former aristocratic dynasties were greatly disempowered and expropriated. For 24 years, the economy and the liberal memories of the citizens prospered. Until the first political instability occurred in 1970. Radical monarchists and communists undermined the state and eroded the local authority of the authorities. Oligarchs and other economic giants dominated the capitalist market and, to the disgust of the socialists, established a strong monopoly at the expense of the common people. The nobles bribed MPs and used their old power to paralyze large parts of parliament. Crises rocked the islands while democracy had its hands tied. Until September 1991, when a military coup led by the House of Rothmond officially captured the parliament building and executed the MPs there. A military dictatorship ruled for the next year until the Seventh Dynasty, led by the Rothmonds, re-established a monarchy on November 11, 1992.
Seventh Dynasty
(1992 to current)
On November 11, 1992, after a year of military dictatorship, the House of Rothmund officially proclaimed the seventh dynasty. This time as aristocratic absolutism, in which the aristocratic houses co-ruled and the people were once again divided into estates. With a well-developed military apparatus, a uniform healthcare system, clear propaganda and the religious imperial-royal cult of leadership, Lionsroar was once again united. The population is largely behind the government, blinded by ideology, propaganda and religion, the nobility is in power and the economic elites also influence the king. A large bureaucratic apparatus carries out the will of the government down to the smallest village on the smallest island. A foreign policy of neutrality and a Löwenitch-regulated economy bring satisfaction ... to a certain part. The big and heavy bureaucratic apparatus, the strong regional division historically and politically in Lionsroar, as well as the remaining strong power of the Upper and Noble Class make the Kingdom a heavy job to govern.
Present Time and the Confederation of Trica
(2015 to current)
In a major political decision in 2015, following the successful establishment of the state, it was controversially decided to abandon the long policy of isolation and instead join the modern world stage of Trica. For many decades, Lionsroar was isolated from outside political influence of neighboring countries and preoccupied with itself. It was only with democracy that Lionsroar experienced a first wave of new political terrain through internationalization and globalization, triggered above all by the global political socialist ideals of a unified world. However, this only lasted a short time due to the flare-up of internal conflict and led to it quickly fading away again. After the fall of democracy, the isolationist policy of the short-living military dictatorship was continued in the monarchy in order to avoid external influences and to be able to establish the state in peace. In 2015, this policy was overturned by an election of the Council of Nobles and a subsequent decision by the king.
Over the next few months, Lionsroar straightened itself out and once again presented itself in the world politics of Trica. It was a founding member of the Confederation of Trica, a project to try and bring prosperity and peace onto the continent. Not to the expense of Lionsroarian sovereignity and independence of course.
