The Federation of Arlyon (Arlyonish: Fédération de Arliyon) commonly known as Arlyon is a sovereign state in Cardia bordering Lavaria to the north. Governed as a federal socialist republic Arlyon exercises justification over 6 Communes (which are divided into 24 departments) and 3 canton-level cities.
The modern Arlyonish state consolidate with the unification of several duchies in 1056, although the origins of Arlyon as a geographic and cultural entity predate the Kingdom's creation. The Arlyonish kingdom would steadily expand until the 1500’s when a succession war saw the kingdom reduced in size and prestige. The 1600’s would see the country begin to rise in strength again until entering a golden age from the 1700’s-early 1800’s which ended after prolonged revolutionary activity. In 1812 the first Arlyonish parliament was inaugurated but was shut down just 7 years later restoring absolutist rule, leading to agitation for more radical republicanism. In 1877 the monarchy was overthrown and replaced with a parliamentary republic. The republic was known initially for its anti-clerical and radical reformist nature but during the early 20th century became politically inert despite the country scientifically and culturally going through a golden age.
The Continental War saw Arlyonish's republican government replaced with a military regime. After Arlyon's defeat in the war a revolution saw the regime to collapse and a socialist federation to be declared. Initially the new government was heavily divided between liberal democrats, anarchists and more authoritarian-minded socialists. A left-wing republic was declared mixing in representative elements (including an elected parliament and political parties) alongside direct elements in the economy based on the idea of workers’ self management. From the mid-1990’s there was a period of more right-wing reform and reconciliation with capitalist countries but since more recently there has been a greater trend towards supporting international socialism and revolutionary trends in line with policy followed from the federations creation in 1926. Unrest in *ethnic minority region* alongside far-right terrorism have been perennial issues since 1916.
Arlyon is currently structured as a republic with the head of state being the Chairman of the Council of Cantons and the head of government the Chairman of the Council of Ministers with elections to the Supreme Council of Communes and Cantons being held every five years. The country’s economy is a mix of government-owned businesses, those managed by workers’ cooperatives and a small private sector combining elements of market socialism with mutualism and more traditional state-led initiatives. Arlyon has a large modern military and exercises a foreign policy promoting international socialism. Arlyon is known internationally as a global centre of art, science, and philosophy being renowned worldwide for its rich cultural heritage.
