Lyrord (Lyrian: Ͱλύριöρð Hlýrjörð), formally the Enlightened Concordancy (Lyrian: 'Υππλύστϝοπναηλές Upplýstvopnahlés), is a country in Parthenia. Clockwise from it's metropole, it borders X to the north, X to the east, Livonia to the south, and X to the southwest. It's administrative capital is Flugeldar (Φλυγελδαρ). however the most populated city is Samkoma (Σαμκομα), which also serves as the country's most important financial center. With most of it's territory inside the Sydra Peninsula, the country is almost completely divided from mainland Parthenia by Lake Frasjo.
The contemporary form of Lyrord's government - characterized by association with the widely popular Enlightment, began with the 1817 deposition of the Empire of Lyrord, a client state of Slethar, with the anti-authority movement known as Awakening. With the birth of the Federacy of Lyrord, the young republican state led under Róðerickur Kárólgarð survived and repel various coalitions formed by empires surrounding the revolutionary state, primarily led by the Sletharine. The Federacy brung deep socioeconomical and political change in the matter of years; with state religion being abolished, slavery banned, and various political rights instated. Although criticized for his maintainence of his own political dynasty, Karolgard led the immature republic into stability and inducted elections through Scientific Democracy, which would soon become a core part of the country's political policies. Becoming a hotspot for antimonarchists and revisionists of religious authority, Lyrord's intellectual force skyrocketed in quantity; becoming the indisputed scientific center of Parthenia until the 1900's. The state governed over the decades under a largely illiberal approval-dependent system, with the Chief (now Arbiter) exercing almost total power on it's subjects. Despite being largely uninvolved in foreign policies, Lyrord would become a prominent funder of revolutionary movements across the continent, through the policies of Long Beams; eventually becoming one of the country's central programs entering the 1930's with the Corporate Stunt, through Sigra Metnaðrmaðr's various international policies.
Lyrord would become a nonparticipant in both Great Wars, however would financially engage with both sides in a prominent basis - and maintained various projects of first strike and overall espionage, especially on Slethar. Most of Lyrord's funds regarding the Great War; besides the espionage plans, went towards the continuation of the increasingly more crucial Long Beams, which funded the various collectivist movements that would later rise in Atusia and Muanbia. Sigra aditionally implemented plans that would later open the Lyrian economy to foreign private markets; ending the closed economy that accompanied the original ideas of Enlightment. This would spark the start of an ideological split that would increasingly make the government more and more polarized between Reactionaries and Reformists. The Reactionaries swore to return the status quo of Karolgard's policies, while the Reformists defended the private market and the government's multilateralism. In an attempt to solve these issues, Sigra would go on a wave of political purging aimed at Reactionary politicians, however only added fuel to the fire; with political homicide skyrocketing in rates. This divison would climax with Sigra's death in 1972, where a short-lived democratic government was usurped by a failed military coup under Commander Ánthónur Reginálðvar, which would later be killed during the rebellion by the Legalist military. After weeks fighting the uprising, the government entered a state of deep political and economical downfall as trust in the nation's stability plummeted, throwing the deeply service-dependent Lyrord into economical collapse. The dire situation would culminate into the two ideological factions signing a Concord - forming the Enlightened Concordancy; a government where the two de-jure shared equal power, abolishing the total executive status of the Chief, which would be reformed into Arbiter.
In the modernity, Lyrord has recovered from it's deep crisis in the 1990's, and has entered steady economical progress; joining back as a relatively stable and highly developed country. However, Lyrord is far from perfect; Sigra's corporate policies having promoved an increase in income inequality with the estabilishment of foreign megacorporations on national soil, an issue that can be observed in the country's largest financial center: Samkoma, having among the highest rates of light pollution in the world, and among the most dense in population. The country also suffers as an illiberal regime, with frequent bribes; many of which are from corporations themselves, coupled with the still prominent issue of ideological war. Although not as severe as before the declaration of the Enlightened Concordancy, political violence is one of the country's leading causes for homicide, especially being a recorded issue by media during elections. Censorship by the state itself is aswell an issue, in the company of the country's intelligence services inherited from the Sigra Era. Lyrord is closely connected with the world market, being a service-based, mixed-market economy, which has swinged in economical projects with the failure of the Scientific Democracy's ability to upkeep an Arbiter in the modern-day. While bills have called for the abolishment of the system, the country's deeprooted conflicts of interest and widespread corruption have made it impossible to accumulate a considerable margin of votes. Lyrord is enrolled in X, however officially maintains a policy of "arbitration" through neutrality and peacekeeping mediation.
