The Holy Thritanian Empire, also referred to as simply Thritania, is a stellar power controlling the Iris System and one of the many civilizations absorbed into the Kingdom of Kerolon during the latter's era of interstellar expansionism, during which Thritania existed as an autonomous dominion of the Kerolonian Kingdom. Its capital is the city of Thorrendragon, located on the Thritanian homeworld of Heafea; its dominant species is the firefly-like Floranias, native to Heafea.
Thritania's history notably mirrors that of Kerolon in numerous ways. The nation began as an intraplanetary power known as the Kingdom of Great Thritania, one of four superpowers controlling Heafea's surface and the last remaining monarchy on the planet. A democratic revolution fueled by controversy over the mistreatment of a prince, Wilhemon hil Thritania, ousted the Thritanian royal family from power, forcing them to retreat to their only ally, the United Slytannian States. A cold war then ensued between Slytannia and the other two Heafean powers - the Naglee Federation and the Cambrian republic - for several decades, with both sides gradually building up their military strength. During this time, Slytannia reorganized into the Holy Thritanian Empire after the loyalist Slytannian populace voted to install the exiled Thritanian monarchy as official Slytannian government officials.
In 1900, the Thritanian Empire used its newly-manufactured Gazazel Disturbers to disable Naglee and Cambria’s military technology, including their military arsenals. The Third Great Heafean War ensued, which culminated in Thritania invading its two neighbors and commencing military operations in space. Thritania subsequently colonized the entirety of the Iris System, which came at the detriment of the inhabitants of other Iris worlds such as Lemuria and Pacifico; at the same time, Thritania began to embrace a a number of imperialist ideologies including a resentment of non-Thritanian cultural groups. Eventually, a rebellion led by exiled Thritanian princess Lemrina vi Thritania toppled the Empire's expansionist regime, causing Thritania to reform into a fairer parliamentary monarchy; nonetheless, it continued to suffer from internal disputes and systemic discrimination issues fueled by the remaining pre-Lemrina-era politicians.
The Holy Thritanian Empire, in spite of its name, is neither a theocracy nor an autocracy. Much like Kerolon, Thritania employs a parliamentary governmental system that utilizes proportional representation; Thritania's parliament is known as the Schniezelium. This legislature is unicameral. Thritania also features a royal family as well as nobility whose power is strictly regulated by the nation's constitution; thus, their roles are relegated to ceremonial and cultural ones. However, this upper class once exerted significantly more influence over Thritanian societal affairs; for instance, nobility once occupied an upper house in the Schniezelium that consisted of nobles, corporate executives, and various other esteemed wealthy individuals.
Thritania's culture, society, and infrastructure also mirrors Kerolon in numerous ways. The Holy Thritanian Empire embraces an aristocratic culture with a heavy emphasis on the arts, creativity, cuisine, and sports. With recent progressive reforms, philanthropy and charity have emerged as important cultural values, allowing Thritanians of all social classes to enjoy the nation's culture (as opposed to only the upper classes). Thritania's infrastructure and economy generally follow those of a social democracy, with modern Thritania offering a robust welfare system, highly advanced public transportation, power generation in the form of various renewable energy farms, etc. Nonetheless, traces of Thritania's prior imperialist attitudes persist; though few Thritanians practice outright species discrimination against other species, subtle nationalism remains popular amongst certain parts of the Thritanian populace.
History
Origins and Prince Wilhemon Controversy (pre-1813)
Heafea was originally dominated by four nations, of which three had fully democratized: the United Slytannian States, the Cambrian Republic, and the Naglee Federation. Slytannia was a decentralized democratic state somewhat similar to the United States with a culture heavily focused on skyscraper architecture and aviation. Both Cambria and Naglee were more centralized, but still socially liberal democracies; while Cambria's culture focused on gardening and traditional Heafean music, Naglee was a slightly less modernized nation (but still far more advanced than any Earth nation) focused on sailing and agriculture. Floranias had also already established several space colonies around other bodies in the Iris System and its companion systems, which had since broken away into their own independent planetary states with cultures distinct from those on Heafea itself.
Heafea's fourth nation - the Holy Thritanian Empire’s predecessor, the Kingdom of Great Thritain - was the last remaining monarchy on the planet. Significant cultural tension existed between Great Thritain and the nations of Cambria and Naglee not only due to Great Thritain's retention of a monarchy, but also due to various controversial actions carried out by the aforementioned monarchy. For instance, they often constructed elaborate and extravagant space palaces that not only came at the expense of Thritish citizens' livelihoods, but also disrupted some operations carried out by the Iris System's space nations.
A major turning point for Thritish citizens was the ascendance of Prince Wilhemon hil Thritania to the position of crown prince after the death of his older brother Elthik eau Thritania in a skyscraper collapse. Because of Wilhemon's open homosexuality, the rest of the Thritish royal family mistreated the prince as part of their efforts to install one of Wilhemon's younger heterosexual siblings as the first heir to the throne and naturally continue the royal bloodline. In contrast, however, the rest of Great Thritain's populace favored Prince Wilhemon and supported his full ascendance to the throne due to his less ostentatious demeanor. Divided opinions on Prince Wilhemon would significant exacerbate tensions on Heafea over whether Great Thritain's royal family should continue to have power in society.
