Preceded by Commonwealth of Rhuveccia Confederation of Sproulia Kingdom of Kingyo

Nirihyra and Rhuveccia, officially known as the Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia, also sometimes referred to as the New Commonwealth of Sproulo-Rhukingia, is a de facto sovereign state, located within the state of Pennsylvania within the United States, internationally recognized as apart of the United States. The government declares itself the successor of Volesia, the Moonlight Shogunate, Orzofelujia, the Commonwealth of Rhuveccia, and formerly the Kingdom of Kingyo and the Confederation of Sproulia. It has a population of 92, regulating plushies as citizens living within the capital city.

The Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia is a federal monarchy with a state and coronal delegation, which together form the Nirihyrese-Rhuveccian Delegation; inspired by the polities such as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Swiss Confederation and a more centralized version of the Holy Roman Empire. The Monongahela culture first inhabited the area in which the Commonwealth resides, practiced maize agriculture, and was a manifestation of the Late Woodland peoples, dating back to 1050 AD, before its eventual end in 1635, having its death speculated to be by diseases transmitted by the European colonizers.

History

Pre-Columbian Era

Prehistory

The first people inside the land that some of the land that the Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia encompasses was the Monongahela culture -- which was named by Mary Butler, because the Monongahela river was the one with the most cultural sites that they had to offer, most likely living along it. They practiced maize agriculture and lived in decently distributed villages, those of which around 50-100 structures. The Monongahela culture seems to have disappeared around the 1600s, most likely due to the transmission of disease from the European colonizers. Their location was in Western Pennsylvania, adjoining modern-day Ohio, Western Virginia aswell and Western Maryland. From that land, around 400 cultural sites have been discovered. The Monongahela was a late woodland period horizon, coinciding with the Mingo homeland, making them different from the Iroquois. Their homes originated on flood plains, but later in 1250, they'd migrated to watershed highland. Their villages were palisaded, with a central plaza within it. They tried to find a new home due to the fight over farmland due to the period of the Little Ice Age, in which their crops did not prosper. They were most likely driven out by the Iroquois, which caused them to migrate to a different tribe's land, where they were most likely absorbed, in 1635.

Colonization Era and the History of the U.S

Colonial period

The colonization of the Americas began in the 15th to 16th century CE, and the colonies that were established would later become the United States of America. At the time of the 1760s, the 13 colonies would reach a population of 2.5 million, most of which were settled among the Appalachian mountains. After the British defeated the French, they began taxing the 13 colonies, which was not very favored or liked within the colonies; as they opposed their argument that new taxes should have been agreed on. The Kingdom of Volesia was active from the years 2017 to 2020, falling out of activity around the time of the COVID pandemic; with its last video taking place in March.

Revolutionary War

The Boston Tea Party in 1773 caused the British to push out laws to end self-government. Armed warfare would begin in Massachusetts, two years following the Boston Tea Party. 1 year following that, the United States was declared within the city of Philadelphia, which city had experienced the first & second Continental Congress, as well as the second state to ratify its constitution, following Delaware. Now following the revolt, a peace treaty was signed in 1783, with the revolution winning the war. The treaty would also define the borders of the newly established United States.

As the Kingdom of Volesia

Establishment of Volesia

The Kingdom of Volesia was established as the Emperor-King of Rhuveccia had found out about micronations from the micronations United Provinces of Natlin, the Republic of Nulug in the form of Naun, the Federal States of Delphia, United Ocean States and some others. Volesia was active around the years of 2017 to 2020, falling out of activity around the COVID pandemic, with its last video being posted in the March of 2020. In a later attempt to rejoin the micronational community after a long period of inactivity, a Neo-Volesian Empire was declared, however, the history was very fabricated and was considered to be a fictional micronation. This however fell out of relevancy and died down.

'Iunae Lumen Dictatura' Era

In one of its early forms, the Moonlight Shogunate was declared. There was originally going to be a snowball fight in the Winter of 2021 on school grounds against another grade, specifically under the one that Emperor-King Dorian-Jay I was in at that time. Several forts of snow were created, but to no avail due to the fact that it was not allowed to throw snowballs. At that time there was a contest that the Emperor-King took part in, but shortly after that the Moonlight Shogunate was dissolved.

Crepuscule Commonwealth Era

The Commonwealth of Crepusculia was a very short lived form of Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia that was supposed to be the form that it takes today, but quickly lost traction as the subject among the founders faded away and was slowly forgotten about which was another inactive period in which the Rhuvec nation did not exist. Around this time is when a nation from the Iunae Lumen Dictatura era began activity again; now the Banana Empire (formerly the Banana Republic), requesting an alliance, which kickstarted the creation of the Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia, once known as Orzofelujia.

Orzofelujian and Rhuveccian Era

Officially being formed sometime in early September with the ratification of its constitution, it was formed shortly after a "starlight empire" went defunct after not-so-long. It existed for a month, until the creation of Rhuveccia, and the unification between Kingyo, Rhuveccia, and Sproulia.

The Cyberspace Congress

The Cyberspace Congress took place over messages; with the Empress-King asking the monarch of Kingyo if they were interested in unification, to which they said yes. Shortly thereafter a name was settled aswell as the establishment of new cities and provinces, aswell as the addition of plushies having the right to citizenship, in which it would leave the human population with around 13.28% and the plush population with 86.72%, roughly. The meeting shortly ended after the provinces and cities were declared.

Union of Rhīvaea and Inactivity (2022-2023)

Not long after the Cyberspace Congress a couple days before, the former union of Sproulia and Rhukingia was formed. The leader of Rhuveccia and Kingyo met with the leader of Sproulia with the question of potential unity. He then agreed. While it was active for some time after the union, it went inactive shortly after the absence in politics from the other two leaders which affected the natural flow of activity. Shortly after a fight (unrelated to micronationalism) that occurred with two leaders of the micronation, the split between nations was declared and on September 3rd, 2023, Nirihyra and Rhuveccia was officially declared.

Politics

Dominating most of Nirihyrese and Rhuvec history, it would take the form of an absolute monarchy, with the notable exceptions of the first half of Volesia, being a pseudo-constitutional monarchy Today, the Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia is a hereditary absolute monarchy that is joint-ruled by the Emperor-King and Empress-Queen. What defines the authority of the Emperor-Kings and Empress-Queen is by the law; and it is different than other absolute monarchies, due to the fact that the Imperial Authority is not undefined by the constitution and they still must follow it, with the risk of if not losing their Imperial title. The Imperial Authority can pass laws at any time, usually at the hands of the Emperor-King and/or Empress-Queen. The positions of the Imperial Princesses and Princes are more ceremonial-based, due to the people with the titles' speech still developing.

Structure of the Nirihyrese-Rhuveccian government

The Imperial Authority is the organization with the utmost power, with the Emperor-King and Empress-Queen being the most powerful out of all the ranks of the Imperial Authority. The Emperor-King and Empress-Queen are not allowed to change various parts of the constitution, such as the law that pertains to the Imperial Authority having to follow the law, and their role being able to be revoked if any law in that constitution is broken. They are also not allowed to change the ideological structure aswell as altering their power level, which can also have their role be revoked at the pleasure of the Emperor-King and Empress-Queen. Under the Imperial Authority are the Nirihyrese-Rhuvec Delegations, which include the State and Ducal delegation, who manage the affairs of state and the affairs of the duchy, with the affairs of the duchy being separated of the affairs of the state.

Foreign relations

The Commonwealth of Nirihyra and Rhuveccia recognizes all micro and macronations, with the notable exceptions of the Democratic Republic of Korea, People's Republic of China, the Occidian Empire (due to their claims being unrealistic and preceeding our own), the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan recognizing South Korea with the territory that the DPRK administers, the ROC as the holder of the mainland Chinese lands, and recognizing the Afghan territory as owned by the the Republican insurgency in Afghanistan.

Bilateral relations

• Republic of Slavtria as of the Oct. 18th Mutual Treaty of Recognition between the two.

Culture and media

The culture is influenced by mainly Italian culture aswell as African-American culture, with the most popular dishes being pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, rigatoni, chicken wings, and more. Other notable dishes are hoagies and hamburgers, however not as popular as the ones that were previously mentioned. The official and most spoken languages are English, and while there is a secondary official language; Nirihyrese, is still in the early stages of development and most likely won't be done for a long time. There is not yet a newspaper for Nirihyra and Rhuveccia, but it plans to be covered in the Rhuveccian language and the English language and run by The Imperial Authority.

Geography

According to the Köppen climate classification, the mainland has a humid subtropical climate, because for the most part all of the mainland is within the same county, with the notable exception of the County of Necară, which is 52 minutes from the other Nirihyrese-Rhuveccian territory. Nirihyra and Rhuveccia has 2 constituent crowns; those of which being the Crown of Nirihyra, and the Crown of Rhuveccia. The most populous out of these would be the Ursuro-Rhuveccian Crown, regarding both plushies and humans, holding roughly 62 people.
