Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya

Template:!Nation InfoboxThe Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya is a federal monarchy occupying all of Aggregate Aylathiya. The Suvaren Federative Republic is the center of the Commonwealth, its core territory around Vossen and its various territories comprise nearly half of the population. The other states within the Commonwealth, ranging in size from single worlds to entire star systems, are as diverse as the dozen species residing in the Commonwealth. States have the right to self-governance, but the provinces answer to Suvaren. The Commonwealth occupies all of Aggregate Aylathiya, boarding Martial Space to galactic west, and the Taraine Federation to the east.

The youngest major power in Aylathiya, the Commonwealth is the latest iteration of the Commonwealth Project, a sacrosanct ideal found within Novel Aeternalism. Several Commonwealths have existed in the past, dating all the way back to Sedrua some five thousand years ago.

The Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya began its life as a political party called the Aeternal Common Party. It slowly gained power as nobles, corporations, and republics throughout Aggregate Aylathiya put their weight behind the party. After only a century, they had over a third of economy of the Greater Martial Consilium. Its centralization only continued until Vurilia Jutopati, the party's founder and eternal leader, sat next to the Imperator on their left side. After the devastating Aylathiya's Ignominy, Jutopati took the chance to broker an independence deal. After a century of de facto independence, the Commonwealth emerged, uniting territory both within and without the Consilium.

Government and Politics

The Commonwealth of Aggregate Aylathiya is a Federacy made up of five states, four provinces, and a capital state. The federal government derives its power from the senate, which controls the budget, military, and taxation. The head of both state and government, the True Shamaya is Vurilia Jutopati who is officially a part of the founding document, the widely venerated Aylathiya's Treaty. Accompanying Jutopati is a president, Laj Praxis, who is appointed by a popular vote of senators and state leaders. The president exercises most executive authority, while Jutopati maintains the right to appoint government officials, promote generals, and acts as the chief diplomat.

History

End of the First Commonwealth

Naturally, Sedrua did attempt to silence opposition. Humiliating defeat after defeat made its few remaining oligarchs grew worried. In response, commonfolk began to rally behind the ideas of independence and self-governance. Vurilia Jutopati took power then; the immortal was confident he could rule the nation. Infrastructure was modernized, local corruption was curbed, and travel was streamlined. In a sense, Vurilia became the most powerful man in Aylathiya, single-handedly sculpting the lives of countless people. When Vurilia began disempowering his fellow oligarchs, known as Sydiah's Architects, the resulting coup forced him to flee.

External powers took advantage of the instability. Backed by a Quintet Payotari Association, countless rebels, including Jutopati, began tearing the nation apart. However, not a single nation thought of this as the end of Sedrua. Despite the local rule, all nations saw themselves as a part of this empire. Each leader vowed to restore The Commonwealth as soon as possible, and so, Aggregate Aylathiya began its long modern era.

Post-Collapse

Various nations split off from Sedrua, but only a handful of Sydiah's Architects remained. In the past, the various territories of Sedrua were held together by the threat of unmatachable violence. Any revolution would be met by the wrath of the universe's greatest magi. With most of them becoming corpses on far flung planets and Sydiah unable to produce more, the region became quite unstable. Foreign powers took the chance to take entire stars for themselves. The people of Aggregate Aylathiya needed to learn how to properly govern themselves, especially with foreign powers breathing down their necks.

Sedrua was at its most dissonant in 6100 CE. While most of the major players had already formed, much of Sedrua had become ever-finer states until single planets held dozens if not hundreds of warring fiefs. One thousand years later and only two people were alive who saw Sedrua, Vurilia Jutopati and Thonde Yutira. The former headed the Diunity and the latter the Golomian Confederacy. The vision of the Commonwealth would have long fallen out of the public consciousness, but these two managed to keep it relevant in circles of power. Whether it was in academic circles, religious conferences, military strategy, or propaganda, these two were both adamant that "The Commonwealth" would emerge under their respective rules.

For three thousand years, the two immortals exchanged geopolitical blows, both waiting for the other to hurry up and die like all the other architects had. Even The Three had all died or went into hiding, the QPA was long replaced, and the last remnants of Sydiah's legacy had long faded. While much of this change was organic, one entity caused much of the change—Mars. This great and ancient spirit, channeled by the Imperator of Gran Rubedo, hated beings like Jutopati and Yutira who came to be known as Overlords. Gran Rubedo, a Human church-turned-state, easily bested Sedrua's old enemies. Both leaders knew that they could not face Mars or Mars' worshipers. Shielded with nothing but distance, the other players in Aylathiya sensed the danger as well. Both leaders had their respective nations join the Core Worlds Alliance to protect themselves from Mars; they decided that molding the Alliance into their Commonwealth would do. The so-called spirit-worshiping barbarians had grown too powerful for infighting to keep Aylathiya disunited.

The Core Worlds Alliance

It was the closest attempt yet at a proper take on the Commonwealth. Even for immortal beings with the mythological strength, closely controlling the actions of vast interest groups, kings, political parties, companies, and religious movements was difficult. Taken aback by how easily their Commonwealth project suddenly arose, the two architects worked tirelessly to maintain the Alliance. At its height, the alliance had over a dozen stars represented within it, including ones never under Sedrua's control.

At first it was simply a military alliance, then an economic zone, then free travel was permitted, and then the lines between its nations blurred. Surviving the Great Empyreal Crusade, Un'oit Ascension, War of the Last Alliance, and rise of Kalliolel, the alliance seemed it would last. Then, the worst diplomatic incident in history happened. Tensions were manageable, however, the interests keeping the alliance together slowly diverged. Desperate for more territory to pay its top officials with, Sagittarium invaded the Sakase system, home of Lowyzol. Lowyzol, while not part of the Core Worlds Alliance, was a close partner and demanded the entire inner system for itself.

Tensions liked this pitted the nations against one another, and Yutira made a critical error—forgetting that her nation was not a nation of computers. The ruling class of the Golomian Confederacy was scared of Sagittarian expansion. That and pressure from The Accompaniment further strained their faith in their leader. Yutira, desperate to keep the Alliance safe, refused to escalate tensions. Top ranking officials began working behind the scenes for their own gain. In 8912 CE, Sagittarium left the alliance and declared war, it could gain more territory through violence than through peace. The Commonwealth disappeared once more.
