The Stithin Republic
The Stithin Republic is the official name of the country colloquially known as 'The Pride Islands.' It derives its name from the central and largest island in the Pride Islands: Stithos. Its territory consists of Stithos and six other, smaller, surrounding islands.
Structure
The Stithin republic is headed by a parliamentarian body known as the Eorios. There is no formal head of this body, although several members head the body in a transitional manner one after another.
Below the Eorios, the next part of government consists of the departments of state that overlook certain aspects of the nation's governance.
Below these departments lay the island administrations, each one corresponding to a single island. These were implemented after the islands' unification and was done so due to the desire for local autonomy.
Below the island level governments then lay further divided local governments. These vary in size and scale and are organized and morphed largely to the desires of the island administrations.
Assets
The Stithin Republic in times past provided ample timber for both ships and lumber. Nowadays it still has large forests, but has since been overshadowed in this respect.
History
The Stithin Republic began as an amalgamation of the islands known collectively as The Pride Islands. They were perhaps called this due to their refusal to be integrated into Asomia or due to their propensity to raid Rutheinian kingdoms, as both the Asomians and Rutheinians called them by this name.
The islands were long under the control of the Asomian emperors as tributaries. At some point in the last millennia, the Asomians urgerd the islands to coalesce in order to provide a stronger buffer against eastern enemies.
In the recent centuries they have been knit closer and closer together, becoming a true nation.
