Structure
History
The republic was found in 656 BVE by the union of tribes around the Gate Lowland at the place which is now Irgian after the long conflict. All the tribe's chief couldn't agree who's going to be their leader, so they elected. The result was the chief from Erga tribe won, and became the name for this new state since, phonically.
The Wall
The country began to explore around, or sharing tribe's knowledge, only to find out that they're surrounded by mountain ridges except for a wide gap on the north. Passing the gap they met the more advanced civilization: Kritus Empire.
Both started trading, gettting amount of useful technology like advance construction. However, with the empire's rapid expansion, the fear of being invaded began to grow. As a result, the republic decide to secure it with the giant wall. In 575 BVE, The republic finished its construction, with the cost of isolated entirely from the mainland. Additonally, the Erkisium was found.
As they thought, Kritus was coming. The republic army garrisoned the wall to confront the large Krin army on the siege in 569 BVE, and the wall worked pretty well. They held the position for 4 years before it eventually breached, making the first hostile outsider to enter and cede the northern region.
Lost but not least. By the time of siege, the republic had already began colonizing further to the Ronminar Isles and formed Sria; Technically more gaining than losing.
Decline
The republic managed to reclaim those annexed land back in 167 BVE - almost 400 years since the occupation. However, the campaign waged too much the nation couldn't easily recovered, so the government decided to let it self-governed under theirs, and thus Erkin was formed.
In 110 BVE, the republic once again faced the great lost. As a result of naval war, the republic had to cede the entire province of Sria to the Kingdom of Arcwood which became unified.
They still hope to conquer the isle back to this day.

However, they are bring blocked by two vassals: Protectorate of Erkin and the Protectorate of Garol. The reason to let them exist is to keep the country safe as well as to reduce upkeeps. The republic are willing to help them either of those states as long as they're loyal, to make sure along with the republic they will get no external harm in the future.
