The Greater Millennian Realm

INFORMATION
The Greater Millennian Realm is a nation in Lyondar who are direct descendants of The Millennian Empire from Ion.

Millennia's history is very much militaristic and based on right wing views.

In Ion Millennia was lead by an Emperor under a fasco-monarchy. In Lyondar it was lead by a Fascist dictator, Eugen Heydrich who descended from the Imperial Family of the past. Recently there have been calls from within the citizenry and the government for a return of the fasco-monarchy, which has succeeded.

In the past the government was strongly xenophobic, but with the turning in slight ideology is more focused on keeping Millennian traditions and honouring their religion. Though the government and people are still extremely nationalistic and militant.

PEOPLE
The people of Millennia are a strong nationalistic right wing leaning and militaristic people. The official state religion is that of Millennianism, the people of Millennia believe that the goddess of war, Millennia, established their nation thousands of years ago and believe that their only service to her is in battle through honour, glory and death. This means that during a time of war many civilians will sign up for the already massive armed forces.

NATIONAL ANTHEM
The Millennian National Anthem is a praise to the glory of the monarchy and state. Heil dir im Siegerkranz - Hail to thee in the Victor's Crown Lyrics:

HISTORY
After the destruction of their homeland on Ion the Millennian people boarded U-Boats and headed towards a new land. The quick exit from their homeland made the Millennians lose most of their technologies, though from thousands of years before their ancestors were amazing horse riders and as they entered the new land they discovered their talents with horses. They searched for a new area to settle and found one, but it was inhabited by other races and tribes which brought the horse riding war-like people to only on conclusion, to crusade against the races in the lands and scare them off. This tactic succeeded and the Millennian Crusade lasted 5 years with thousands of lives lost, but at a good cost for the Millennians, they had made their home in the warm continent now known as Millennia.

Their central town from the crusade became their capital city, and the first state, Pyrrhus in the state of Pyrrhussia. Pyrrhus quickly expanded becoming the heart of a now booming civilization with no competition against them in their lands they expanded massively in a short period of time.

Some Millennian Crusaders settled down in the East and the North, with the first expedition going North going horribly and the expeditioners disappearing it was clear that expansion into the outer regions at the time was not plausible, what they didn't know was that the Northern expeditioners had not vanished, but had created their own tribe, called the Tchermanians, eventually creating their own country, but soon uniting with the Millennian Realm.
