The Royal Society of Arveyres (French: la Société royale des Arveyres) also called Arveyres is a matriarchial constitutional monarchy comprising of eleven provinces and two federal districts. Arveyres is a part of the greater Patrician Realm. The country is situated on the continent of Mnemosyne, bordered by the Kingdom of Aloia to the north and the region of Germany (Empire of Ireland) to the south.
With an estimated land area of 35,240.42 kilometres squared, it is one of the smaller nations in comparison to nations such as the Kingdom of Aloia. The nation reaches from the Atletius Sea to the Arveyres Sea, crossing the Paris Coast, the Basque Desert, and the Burgundy Coast; encompassing the Western Palave and the Eastern Palave Mountains. In the capital city of Paris, it is estimated that 47% of the residents were not born in the Royal Society, and 78% of residents do not speak Arveyran (Patrician) as a first language.
The current Royal Constitution was ratified by the thirteen governor(esse)s of each of the provinces in March of 2013, which limits the powers of the sovereign and grants considerable powers to the regional governments.
The Royal Society of Arveyres is a highly developed country, although having a low GDP per capita. Recent years have seen the economy growing, slowly; lead by wine and tropical fruit exports. The RS is a leader in the region of linguistics and education, with a highly complice and revered educational system.
The RS is not a member of the World Alliance, however, the nation has served as a member in the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Ninth Regional Security Councils, and the a president of the Eighth Security Council. The nation is also the home to the WA Olympic Committee (WAOC), the Arveyres Freedom Index (AFI), and the former WA Standardisation Organisation (WASO).
Etymology
In 1120, Nikolai Ivan Arveroskij, a Luca explorer from Ivania set out on a voyage to the Unknown Lands of the West. When Arveroskij reached the city of Astril (modern day Paris), he set up offers with the Polyhymnians, who granted him the rights to the city. The city thrived as a trade port between the spice kingdoms and the Oriental Lands. In 1320, the city was renamed from Astril to Arverosgrad in his honour. The city was renamed to Paris in 1936 after a referendum to attempt to create a united culture with French influence.
In 2009, after a series of voting by the then Imperial Patrician Government during the Sychis Period, the nation was to be officially renamed to Arveyres in 2012, also in honour of Nikolaj Arveroskij. The name-change took effect in January of 2012. The name also stayed after the Luthenian Rebellion, along with the formation of the matriarchy.
Geography
The land area of Arveyres is roughly 35,240.42 kilometres squared. The largest subdivision is the Territory of Allemandcourt, spanning a majority of the Basque Desert. The smallest subdivision is the Federal District of Champmathieu which is comprised of two small enclaves separated by the Territory of Allemandcourt.
The country occupies the band of land separating the Kingdom of Aloia from the Empire of Ireland. In the west, a lush coniferous forest covers the land sparsely; towards the centre, a vast, arid desert -known as the Basque Desert- covers most of the land, with occasional oases; towards the eastern coast, it is much like the west coast, a large evergreen forest.
The western coast which sits lower than it's eastern counterpart is more prone to annual flooding, with many cities regularly going underwater during the flood months of June and July.
