Illyntheria (/ɪl.lən.'θi.ɹi.ʌ/, Illyntherian: /ɪ.ɬən.'θɛr.ja/), also known as the Republic of Illyntheria (Illyntherian: Gweriniaeth Illyntheria), is a nation in Western Lira bordered by the Radea and Winst to the west, Grenzaria to the north, Sylvakia in the north-east, Gostia and Karodova to the east, and the Relias Sea in the south. The capital city and largest city is Ethribel, located along the southern shore. Illyntheria is a Constitutional Parliamentary Republic. The legislature of Illyntheria is its Parliament, or Senedd, and is elected by direct vote of the people. The President, Arlywydd, is head of state and also voted for directly. The head of government is the Chancellor, Canghellor, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by Parliament; they in turn appoint other government ministers.
Illyntheria has a mild oceanic climate, with temperate broad-leaf forests and arable land that yields some of Illyntheria's most world renowned agricultural exports, such as their grapes, apples, pears, figs, and various berries. The full range of seasons is experienced, and temperatures range from −3 °C in winter to 22 °C in the summer. Illyntheria's beaches are a popular tourist destination during the summers.
Etymology
History
Prehistory (before the 9th century BCE)
Relian tribes began to dominate the area of modern Illyntheria rather quickly during the early bronze-age, displacing the Pre-Lirans peoples already living there, although some pockets of Pre-Liran tribes would continue to exist until at least the 5th or 6th centuries BCE. Illyntherian society at this time was ruled by a horse-owning warrior class who established hill-forts from which to watch over the agrarian lower-class. Some of these hill-forts would later evolve to become the foundations of city-states that would dominate later centuries.
Antiquity (9th century BCE–5th century CE)
With the onset of the iron age, some tribes such as the Iltinetteri and Birnacae began adopting a more urban merchantile lifestyle while those further inland such as the Icei, Cirnannes, or Anedi remained largely Agrarian. By the early 9th century BCE some of the earliest city-states began to emerge, most notably Ethribel, Ammynon, Caethil, Tyrrolen, Ebbare, and Rhin. Ancient Kharmatians also had prominent colonies along the coast at this time, leading to the adoption of the Kharmatian Alphabet by Illytherian traders and elites, modifying it over time into what would become the Ancient Illyntherian Alphabet.
