| | + | '''Staynes''' is a country within [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. It shares a large borders with [[South Staynes]] and [[Nation/Xagrurg|Xagrurg]] to its south, [[Caltharus]] to the east, [[Axdel]] to the west and [[Vothetria]] to the south-east. |
| | | | |
| | + | The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the Juliakese Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations. |
| | | | |
| | + | Staynes' terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and western Staynes. However, there are uplands in the south (for example, the Zycannes and the mountainous Petenta District) and in the southwest (Zycannes). The capital is [[Sani Bursil]], which has the largest metropolitan area in both the [[United Kingdom]] and the world. Staynes' population of over 155 million comprises 32.8% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around Sani Bursil, the West Coast, and conurbations in the Midlands, the Far North East, and Horkalo, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century. |
| | | | |
| − | '''The United Kingdoms of Greater Staynes and Justelvard''', commonly known as '''Great Staynes''', sometimes '''TUK''' ('''The United Kingdoms''') and rarely '''North Staynes''' since the independence of [[South Staynes]], is a [[wikipedia:unitary state|unitary]] [[wikipedia:sovereign state|sovereign state]] and [[wikipedia:transcontinental country|transcontinental country]] consisting of territory in [[Urth]]'s southern hemisphere.
| + | The Kingdom of Staynes ceased being a separate sovereign state on the 29th of December 1515, when the [[Union of the Thrones]] merged the two thrones under one name, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Caltharus to create the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia. As a result of the [[Auroran Imperial War]], on the 6th of June 1975, [[South Staynes]] seceded from the Kingdom. |
| | | | |
| − | Lying in locations around the globe, Staynes is found on and off of the northern coast of the [[Aurora|Auroran mainland]], controlling most of the actions of the [[Necraties Islands]] and [[Frorkstolm]] along with many smaller islands. Staynes shares land borders with [[Axdel]] to the south west, [[South Staynes]] and [[Nation/Xagrurg|Xagrurg]] to the south, with [[Ethalria]] and [[Caltharus]] to the east. Besides these borders, Staynes is surrounded by the [[Packilvanian Ocean]] and the [[Caven Sea]]. [[Staynish Justelvard|Justelvard]] is the other side of the [[Caven Sea]], in south east [[Yasteria]].
| + | Staynes is a [[wikipedia:Developed country|developed country]] and is considered to have a [[wikipedia:World Bank high-income economy|high-income economy]] and is categorised as high in the [[wikipedia:Human Development Index|Human Development Index]]. There is a total GDP per capita of $40,597 in Staynes and its dependencies. Staynes has remained as a highly influential [[wikipedia:Core countries|core country]] especially influencing events in [[Aurora]]. It is a recognised nuclear weapons state. |

The current monarch is [[High-King Lambertus VII]] since his coronation on the 6th of June 1991 and the serving heir apparent is [[Princess Rosamund|Rosamund]]. The capital is [[Sani Bursil]], a [[wikipedia:global city|global city]] and [[wikipedia:financial centre|financial centre]] with an urban area population of 38 million in 2015, making the city one of the largest populated cities in [[Urth]]. Other major urban areas in Great Staynes include Redrugus, Fort Vitrayn, Fort Staynes, Fort Bagrin, Fort Bersius, Fort Jubrayn and [[Fort Ejard]] whilst Sani Jural in [[Staynish Joralesia|Joralesia]] is also considered a major urban area.

The [[List of Staynish Monarchs|monarchy]] has been in existence since the [[Pip the Gallant]] united two tribes in 884 where [[Fort Jubrayn]] and its surrounding area is located. The Empire took complete control over [[Staynish Joralesia|Joralesia]] in the [[War of Joralesia 1716 - 1755]] after a long bitter war with the inhabitants. Following [[The Auroran Imperial War]], the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] broke down, and was reclassified as the [[Staynish-Caltharus Empire]], where Staynes has existed since the 11th of May 1970. The borders Staynes shares with other nations in [[Aurora]] has not changed in all of its existence before the [[The Auroran Imperial War|war]] where they lost a great amount of land to the independence of [[South Staynes]]. On the 16th of December 2016, Staynes sent military intervention to [[Staynish Justelvard|Justelvard]] after its total government collapse, and after three days had succeeded to reclaim the former [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian]] territory.

[[High-King Lambertus VII]] is the [[wikipedia:Head of state|head of state]] of TUK as well as [[wikipedia:Monarch|monarch]] of two other independent countries. The monarch has "the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, and the right to warn". The Constitution of the nations are uncodified and consists mostly of a collection of disparate written sources, including statutes, judge-made case law and international treaties, together with constitutional conventions. As there is no technical difference between ordinary statutes and "constitutional law", TUK Parliament can perform "constitutional reform" simply by passing Acts of Parliament, and thus has the political power to change or abolish almost any written or unwritten element of the constitution. However, no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change.

| − | '''TUK''' has a [[wikipedia:Parliamentary system|parliamentary government]] based on ancient Staynish tradition. The higher three houses in the Staynish Parliament meets in [[Lamberta Palace]] whilst the lowest house is represented by elected representatives from each parish and meet in individual buildings of high status in each of the Staynish states. The parliament system is ranked as one of the most complicated in [[Urth]], with four houses: an elected Parish House which serves under an elected State House, which feeds into the elected Lords House that is underneath the appointed Senate House. All bills are given [[wikipedia:Royal assent|Royal assent]] before becoming law.

| − | Staynes holds a general election every 6 years unless under certain conditions. Staynes uses the [[wikipedia:Proportional representation|proportional representation]] voting system. The number of seats obtained by a party is represented by the percentage of votes they receive. There is a total of 735 seats in the Senate House, so if a party receives a 20% voter turnout, they will have 150 seats. The party with the most seats can elect a Prime Minister, although in a parties campaign they would most likely have already elected an individual.

| − | | + | |
| − | There are around 19 parties in Staynes that each have over 15,000 members, of which 11 have seats in the Senate House. The '''Staynish Conservative Party''' won 50.53% of the seats in the 2016 general election, whilst the '''Staynish Liberal Party''' won 28.13% and the '''Staynish Democratic Party''' won 10.13%; barely ahead of the '''Staynish Green Independence Party''' who won 9.46%.

| − | The Kirib is a multi-continental influential currency which spans across [[The East Pacific]]. The Kirib has origins dating back to King Gustav I, and historical documentation of the first phase Kirib in 1422 (1 year after the death of his father), originally referred to as the [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian]] Kiribin, and shortened by Gustav I to the [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlian]] Kirib in 1429.
| + | |
| − | It was later changed to the Kirib around 1893, following its influence in several nations, and changed into branches of the Kirib according to which nation it was minted in on the 30th July 1975, following the end of [[The Auroran Imperial War]].
| + | |

| − | ===Values===
| + | |
| − | The Kirib is a decimal currency. Whilst the currency is called the Kirib, only three of the nine values are actually Kiribs. One Kirib is 100 Albons. One Albon is the smallest value of the Kirib, whilst 5 Kiribs (500 Albons) is the biggest.

| + | Between fifty two and thirty thousand years ago, seventy percent of Staynes was underwater. The interglacial period marked sea levels as high as 46 meters. The sea resembled the shape of a deflated balloon, connecting Lake Lamberta to the western coast. Around 50,000 BC, the Strathepolic people reach the continent as the Strathepolic Ridge submerged (ridge connecting modern Justelvard to the modern Staynish-Caltharus border). A few hundred years later they began to explore the continent beyond the reaches of their local settlements. By 49,000 BC, there was three very distinct divides in the Strathepolic people; Jubrites, ''Maltites'' and Kosites. The Jubrites had settled within the Jubrione, the Maltites had settled in and around the Zycannes and the Kosites had migrated eastwards. |

| − | Ancient Maltervenia symbolises the time period from where the native inhabitants began to utilise the land around them until their tribal formations around 3000 years ago. It is not certain the exact time period that people began living in the lands of North Aurora and modern [[Staynes]], but it is believed to be as much as 7000 years ago.
| + | |
| − | The best estimate of the size of the Maltervenian population around 5000 years ago is placed around 14,100, with other top archaeological, science and research sources estimations reading as little as 3,000 and as much as 75,000. Based on proof that this were the time of major Auroran Volcanic activity, such numbers are quite impossible to fathom.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Ancient Maltervenians from 7000 to 4000 years ago had a tendency of living on their own, playing the role of hunter gatherers. Sources suggest that these people eventually understood the capabilities of working in units and in 1976 the first evidence of this was found as cave art, dating back to 4000 years ago. Beyond this point in time, Maltervenians gained the upper hand and instead of being labelled as prey, they had become the predator. It is clear from petrified samples after this point that these people lived sporadically around the nation in wooden and stone huts, preferring the plains and deciduous forests to the rough inclinations of the Mountain range and the dense northern jungles.
| + | ====First Kingdom of Maltervenia==== |
| | + | Maltervenian culture is believed to have been its own culture as early as 35,000 BC, whilst still distinct to the Strathepolic culture. It is believed this culture refined itself as early as 10,000 BC, becoming one of a few successors to the extinct Strathepolic culture. Within the 5th millennium BC, numerous kinship groups emerged. In the very first years of the 2nd millennium BC, the first kingdom of Maltervenia formed. The kingdom was ruled by the Jubrita dynasty for three hundred years until it was taken over by the Bagrin dynasty. Their dynasty thrived on slaves from across the continent, building ancient temples, castles and their footprint across the lands for another seven hundred years until the death of its last king. |
| | + | ====Interregnum period==== |
| | + | Upon king Volkemur's death in 998 BC, the there was inheritance dispute between his eleven sons, and after a short conflict which saw his eldest son killed, Maltervenia split into ten smaller kingdoms. The names for these kingdoms were Horkon, Avelon, Qinlon, Jublon, Redrug, Miyaron, Lampelon, Corstan, Lambolon and Tuke. |

| | + | From 998 BC to 765 BC, the ten kingdoms had become three after several marriages for geopolitical benefits; the Kingdom of Redrug, the Kingdom of Jersia and the Kingdom of Tuke. |
| | + | In 972 BC, the kingdoms of Qinlon and Avelon became the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Lutder of Qinlon and queen Nasama of Avelon. In 901 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Corstan, taking control over the area. In 863 BC, the kingdoms of Jublion and Lambolon became the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon after the marriage of king Pippindu and of Jubliak and queen Bourna of Lambolon. |
| | + | Around 800 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Horkon, taking control over the area. In 795 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon declared war against the kingdom of Miyaron. During the conflict, Miyaron allied itself with Lampelon, creating a capable resistance to the stronger eastern country. In 789 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon became the United Kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Norgel of Qinlia-Avelon and queen Vessala of Jubliak-Lambolon. After the United Kingdom defeated the kingdoms of Miyaron and Lampelon in 765 BC, taking control over the area; the united kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon became the kingdom of Jersia. |

| − | It became common for Maltervenians to wear the dried skins of the toughest animal they slew. This represented power and strength as a warning to others or as a gesture of protection whilst searching for a mate. In more southern areas, it was common that Maltervenians wore bones on their animal skins to pronounce themselves especially whilst searching for a mate. These factors lead to females to choose the male with the most feared animal skins and or most feared animal tusks, skulls, ribs or fingers, resulting in the strongest males producing offspring and the weakest dying off. It varied from area to area, but commonly these people were buried without their possessions, as myths of the undead returning with great deals of power resulted in their possessions being burnt.
| + | From the years 765 BC and 650 BC, nothing happened between the three kingdoms. In 650 BC, the kingdoms of Redrug and Jersia became the second Kingdom of Maltervenia after the marriage of king Redunnia II of Redrug and queen Serenia of Jersia. |
| | | | |
| − | It was around 3000 years ago that these people came to form tribes, as the population grew extensively and people began living amongst themselves.
| + | ====Second Kingdom of Maltervenia==== |
| − | ===Before 1515=== | + | After the eventual death of Redunnia II and Serenia, their son, Lampedris I was crowned the first king of the new country. The country existed until its collapse in 452 AD, taking over more land until it clashed with the borders of the Kormistazmic Empire, the Xagrurgian Empire and the Ethalrian Empire. |
| − | ====Pre-Morstaybishlia====
| + | |
| − | Before Morstaybishlia, the land was littered with dozens of tribes. They continuously fought over resources and there has been many docummented wars based upon this. These tribes were ruled by Elders, with most of them called 'Shi'Murai' or 'Shia'Murai' depending on their gender (Feminine: Shia).
| + | |
| − | Many tribes rose and fell during this time period, and with a massive gap of unexplored history it leaves historians baffled.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ====Ancient Morstaybishlia==== | + | ====Second Interregnum Period==== |
| − | Ancient Morstaybishlia marks the period of time between 925 and 1515, from the very first King of Morstaybishlia, [[Pip the Gallant]], to [[Lambertus III]]. Within this time period, the nation unified from the first Morstaybishlian tribes; Jubliak, to every tribe within the modern borders of [[Staynes]] and [[South Staynes]] (roughly 18). The nation held a dear 29 monarchs, all which has their own documented history.
| + | |
| − | The nations was at its lowest territorial point at 1149 following the rule of the Ethalrian Empire. Following a massive rebellion in the Xagrurg province of Ethalria, the Morstaybishlians were able to grow until they held a Union with Caltharus in 1515.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ===After the Union of the Thrones 1515===
| + | After the death of King Lancelyn in 452, the land was torn into thirteen petty kingdoms. From 452 until 553 there were a series of battles that is defined under the [[War of the Thirteen Kingdoms]], resulting in four states; Luradia, Klovia, Trentath and Staynnica. During this war, outside kingdoms including the Kormistazmic Empire, the Ethalrian Empire and the Xagrurgian Empire made significant advances into the cumulative territory that made up the former Second Kingdom of Maltervenia. |
| | | | |
| − | On the 29th of December 1515, the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] came into being, the result of the [[Battle for Caltharus 1515]] which crowned [[Lambertus III]] King of Mostaybishlia and Caltharus.
| + | There was a period of relative peacetime within the four kingdoms following the end of the war. When the Segar dynasty ended after the death of King Sebastian in 810, he was was replaced by his cousin Otho Dohaeris as King of the Luradans. Otho's mother, who was King Sebastian's aunt had died a year before. She married the second son of King Raghaus I of Klovia, a move sought to bring the two kingdoms together. It was soon revealed that Otho's mother had an affair with a commoner making Otho's claim illegitimate. Otho had a younger cousin on his fathers side, prince Randal, who's late father married a deceased Luradan princess, making him the legitimate ruler. This sparked a major multi-theater civil war fought alongside an independence movement which was was a three-way battle for the throne between Otho Dohaeris, his cousin Randal Dohaeris, King Perceval of Trentath who had a legitimate claim as well as King Raghaus I of Klovia, the cousins' shared grandfather. |
| | | | |
| − | [[Redrugus IX]] annexed the [[Axdel#History|Kormistazmic Empire]] as a Principality during the [[Western Auroran Crusades]], which lasted 52 years, from 1523 to 1575.
| + | After the war, there remained two kingdoms, Luradia and Staynnica. There was a period of peace from the start of the 10th century until 955 after the death of King Rædulf of Staynnica at the hands of a Luradian plot to take control of Staynnica. The two kingdoms went to war, with Luradia invading Staynnica and defeating the oldest son Ræulf at the battle of Kretan in 959. The second son Rænnulf reigned in turn, but was defeated by King Botulf six years later at the battle of Dog Lake in 965. The third son, Rænnulf, died of dysentery during 970. The fourth and last son, [[Pip the Gallant]], fended off Luradan invasions and soon thereafter orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the capital of Luradia, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972. |
| | | | |
| − | ====Colonial beginnings==== | + | ====Kingdom of Staynnica==== |
| | | | |
| − | ===The Auroran Imperial War Involvement===
| + | The Kingdom of Staynnica was the far superior Kingdom in the latter stages of the second integrum period. It controlled all of the north and west coasts, but did not have control of the land between the current borders of Staynes, Caltharus and Vothetria. The second, less known Kingdom was Luradia, and controlled the eastern land of Lake Lamberta, all the way down to Kirdintayos. |
| − | ====Loss of territory====
| + | |
| − | '''Staynes''' lost a considerable amount of territory during [[The Auroran Imperial War|the Auroran Imperial War]] due to a lack of military funding to sustain its landmass. In March 1970, Staynes officially lost the territory of [[Blueacia]] due to a large political divide. This negatively impacted the royal family as they had close relations with the serving party at the time. In October 1972, [[Spoontuis]] officially gained independence after 159 of 191 Spoontian politicians voted to leave. On the 5th of June 1975, [[South Staynes]] gained independence from Staynes, soon before the war ended.

| − | | + | ===States capital cities and population=== |
| − | Staynes serves under the monarchy of the old Empire, to form the [[Staynish-Caltharus Empire]]. The three nations share the same upper house, in which international affairs are governed. The benefits of sticking with their neighbours has benefitted excessively, retaining territory and influence once considered impossible with financial input from Staynes alone.
| + | [[Image:Staynish Provinces1.PNG|left|thumb|500px||Map of Mainland Staynes showing its 10 states.]] |
| − | The three nations has helped fund each other in times of need. The three nations also share the same law, traffic systems, and educational systems. Staynes voted against reintroducing a combined military force between the three nations and thus each nation independently operates an armed forces, all under allegiance to the monarch.

| − | [[Image:Zecrod Furista State of Morstaybishlia leader.jpg|left|thumb|150px||Zecrod Furista; April 2005]]
| + | |
| − | In August 2003, a militant resistant group seized control of Fort Staynes after uproar surged from the City Mayor election, which resulted in the Kings psychotic fourth cousin, Yarro Vondeler Peekio being elected. The self-declared [[State of Morstaybishlia]] lasted for 2 years, and was named after the previous country, [[Morstaybishlian Empire|Morstaybishlia]]. The reasoning behind the States survival came down to Royal blood hostages, including the Kings mother. Their leadership changed 4 times, from Abjazl Lecrane, Herdio Washik, Georgio Vermana and finally Zercrod Furista the Hated. In September 2005, a classified Special Operations team infiltrated the State using deception and false IDs and retrieved the royals. The States people, seeing their opportunity to take back their city, did so and the State fell back into the hands of [[Staynes]].
| + | |
| − | Throughout the existence of this State, the [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] closed all trade routes surrounding the micro nation in an attempt to choke the nation of resources. This succeeded to some stature until Zecrod Furista threatened to kill the royal hostages.
| + | |
| − | It is widely believed that Zercrod Furista went into exile somewhere in [[Yasteria]], the exact whereabouts is unknown.

| − | ''Main article: [[List of Staynish Monarchs]]''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Staynish Monarchy has existed since its creation in 972 by [[Pip the Gallant]]. The Monarchy has had major influence over [[Aurora]], containing 35 Kings and 12 Queens. The current Monarch is [[High-King Lambertus VII|Lambertus VII Constantine]], who rule with the title 'High-King', derived from [[Lambertus III]] after successfully claiming the [[Caltharus|Caltharusian]] throne in 1515.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Monarchy is represented by several iconic symbols. The most well known is Prince Gustav's (Previous heir to the throne, great grandchild of [[Von Dan]]) Dwarven Hellfire blade known as Archiden the Slayer, forged from the [[Great Hellfire of 712]], which has been used in the [[Royal Staynish Armed Forces]] badge ever since its formation and currently under high protection in the [[Sani Bursil Royal Palace]]. Another icon of the Monarchy is its Golden Rose (or in the Armed Forces; the colour of Stone which represents solidarity), which had its introduction on the first [[Staynes|Staynish]] flag under the Monarchy and has been used ever since as a symbol of faith, power and leadership.

| − | | + | |
| − | ==Geography==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[Staynes]] is well known for its outstanding natural beauty amongst natives and visitors. On the northern coast, you will find yourself in one of the few oldest protected Jungles in Urth, called Jubrione, which is almost completely uninhabited by humans apart from the few not yet modernised tribes (who when seen, share characteristics but are not homo sapiens. Records link them to prehistoric Aurorans, a less evolved human). The jungle has a thriving ecosystem as a result of being generally untouched from outsiders. Throughout the country you'll find temperate deciduous forests, which consists primarily of grassy ferns, thick spiralling oak trees and the rare sight of the beautiful magnolia, which are more commonly in more open and exposed areas of the deciduous forest. Raspberries, Blackberries and other berries are extremely common on the forest floor and are picked and eaten frequently by the travellers, natives and the wildlife. There are small pockets of Sumatran Orangutan which can be sighted travelling from the Jungle to the forests in an annual quest to collect the rare Hobstiberry. This berry is rather large, dark navy blue and only native to [[Staynes]]. The Orangutans have unlocked the ability of storage, using flexible sap-infused Jungle bark in the shape of sacks, tied to sticks in which they carry massive quantities of the Hobstiberries to their families for a winter delicacy. The berries take time to rot which is convenient for the Orangutans.

| − | The plains sits above a giant oil reserve called Taki Mun'dir, named after its discoverer. 3 major cities sit and use this oil reserve. Fort Bagrin which has benefited excessively, Fort Vitrayn and Redrugus. The plains also sits on some often large cavernous structures that are protected by the NSEA (National Staynish Environmental Agency) due to their fragility. Within the majority of these caverns and caves, lie massive mushroom colonies. Little life lives in these areas besides slugs, roof worms, the occasional insects and bats.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The [[Zycannes]] mountain range hosts many mountains over 4,000 meters. The highest mountain lies on the Staynish-Caltharusian border, famously known as [[Mount Kersivius]] for being the tallest mountain in the southern hemisphere and more specifically [[Aurora]]. It is a well-visited tourist attraction.

| − | ===Temperature===
| + | |
| − | Staynes is a very diverse nation with respect to the weather. Almost the entire northern coast is effected by an annual monsoon season, with the southern borders effected by Tundra annually. These factors aside, Staynes is a nation that stars rich sunlight summers and colder, but not freezing winters.

| − | Staynes is known for its massively expansive and diverse terrain. On the north coasts Staynes hosts Jubrione, a Jungle, which spawns luxurious wet based bush plants and trees that grow to enormous heights. The rest of the country is temperate forests and grasslands hosting an array of stunning plant life, or on Staynes' south border, harsh mountains.

| + | |
| − | Staynes has a highly diverse cultural system.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Inns dedicated to Staynish foodstuff, especially the hobstiberry, is a common tradition practised across the nation. All settlements larger than 600 residents have at least one shop that acts very similar to a post office and which sells locally grown food. The most sold produce in these shops are postage stamps, bread, mutton and hobstiberry.
| + | |
| − | Inns also brew from locally grown grains. Beers are the most consumed alcoholic beverages. Lager is the most common brewed beer, ahead of Lambic, Ale and Wheat. Wine is the second most consumed alcoholic beverage. Traditionally, hobstiberry wine is the most common brewed wine, ahead of red and white. Vodka is also a common alcoholic drink consumed in Staynes. However, a majority 71% of vodka is imported from Highland Breweries Co., Axdel, with 16% grown in Corstanil and the rest sporadically spread throughout the region.

| − | ===Language===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Staynes is a [[wikipedia:Multilingualism|multilingual]] country recognising 15 native languages. Until the 19th century, widespread travel wasn't possible, which has allowed the languages to thrive. The Language and Religion Protection Act 1930 pushed for all native languages to be recorded and taught. Languages in the mainland territory are all similar. The [[wikipedia:De facto|de facto]] [[wikipedia:Official language|official languages]] of Staynes are [[wikipedia:Faroese language|Staynish (Simplified)]], [[wikipedia:Icelandic language|Old Staynic]] and [[wikipedia:Manx language|Jubliakese]] which are spoken by 99.5% of the population over the age of three. 53% of people born in Staynes can fluently speak four or more languages, a 2009 study showed, whilst 19% can fluently speak five languages and 6% can speak six languages.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Language in Staynes has been widely prolific in modern times. Students are expected to learn the three major languages in early education, with the freedom to choose up to three more languages in middle and further education. If a student wishes to learn three languages, one of them must be another recognised language of Staynes. The most commonly chosen Staynish language learnt by students taking three languages is [[wikipedia:Norn language|Horkalese]]. Additionally, the most common foreign languages learnt by students are [[wikipedia:Vulgar latin|Calth]], [[wikipedia:Italian language|New Axdelian]] and [[Laiatanese language|Laiatanese]], a 2017 study showed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The native languages of Staynes all share a common ancestor, [[wikipedia:Proto-Celtic language|Common Morst]], which was widely spoken in the continent of [[Aurora]] until the language started splitting off in the first millennia BC. The parent language went extinct around 200 AD with the death of the last speaker. The language is currently trying to be reconstructed in [[Jubrayn]].
| + | |
| − | Since the 17th century, it is widely believed that the inhabitants of Jubrione speak [[wikipedia:Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Auroran]], a language spoken by settlers of Aurora around 50,000 BC.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Religion===
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | In Staynes, Jubliakese became the most practised religion many millennia ago. Although there is only little historical evidence to conclude the birthing of Jubliakism in the [[Zycannes]], it is believed an oracle sparked the faiths foundations. Archaeological evidence for Jubliakese communities begins to appear in the 12th and and 11th century BC.
| + | Lamboleperto: |
| − | During the reign of [[Lambertus III]], after the throne of Morstaybishlia and Caltharus unified, Jubliakese was almost indoctrinated into Caltharusian society. During the first half-century, small scale rebellions and uproar ensued.
| + | Population of 61,245,714. |
| − | Most modern Staynish religions are based on ancient Auroran and Maltervenian teachings. However, most of these religions has seen a large decline since the late 20th century with the adoption of more scientific and atheist methods. It is believed that the population of Staynes that affiliate themselves with a religion will decrease to 25% by 2040, instead of 37% in 2010.
| + | Capital is Sani Bursil. |
| − | There is two surviving stone carvings dating back to the time of the oracle.

| + | Redrugan: |
| | + | Population of 23,659,263. |
| | + | Capital is Redrugus, other cities are Xenliada. |
| | | | |
| − | Staynes has a strong sporting heritage, and during the 19th century codified some of the sports that are now played around the world. Sports originating in Staynes include [[wikipedia:Table tennis|table tennis]] and [[wikipedia:Shooting|shooting]].
| + | Surbila: |
| | + | Population of 13,114,181. |
| | + | Capital is Nurban. |
| | | | |
| − | Football is the most popular of these sports.

The area now called Staynes was first inhabited by modern humans known as the Strathipolic people around 52,000 years ago, but takes its name from the Staynnica, the most prosperous kingdom during the time where the second kingdom of Maltervenia fell and the "third" kingdom of Maltervenia (Kingdom of Staynes) rose. Staynes became a unified state in the 10th century, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The Staynish language, the Juliakese Church, and Staynish law – the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world – developed in Staynes, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been adopted by a respectable count of other nations.
Staynes' terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains, especially in central and western Staynes. However, there are uplands in the south (for example, the Zycannes and the mountainous Petenta District) and in the southwest (Zycannes). The capital is Sani Bursil, which has the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the world. Staynes' population of over 155 million comprises 32.8% of the population of the United Kingdom, largely concentrated around Sani Bursil, the West Coast, and conurbations in the Midlands, the Far North East, and Horkalo, which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century.
The Kingdom of Staynes ceased being a separate sovereign state on the 29th of December 1515, when the Union of the Thrones merged the two thrones under one name, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Caltharus to create the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia. As a result of the Auroran Imperial War, on the 6th of June 1975, South Staynes seceded from the Kingdom.
Between fifty two and thirty thousand years ago, seventy percent of Staynes was underwater. The interglacial period marked sea levels as high as 46 meters. The sea resembled the shape of a deflated balloon, connecting Lake Lamberta to the western coast. Around 50,000 BC, the Strathepolic people reach the continent as the Strathepolic Ridge submerged (ridge connecting modern Justelvard to the modern Staynish-Caltharus border). A few hundred years later they began to explore the continent beyond the reaches of their local settlements. By 49,000 BC, there was three very distinct divides in the Strathepolic people; Jubrites, Maltites and Kosites. The Jubrites had settled within the Jubrione, the Maltites had settled in and around the Zycannes and the Kosites had migrated eastwards.
To date, Lake Lamberta is one of the last remnants of the last interglacial period. Its one of the largest salt water bodies in the world.
Maltervenian culture is believed to have been its own culture as early as 35,000 BC, whilst still distinct to the Strathepolic culture. It is believed this culture refined itself as early as 10,000 BC, becoming one of a few successors to the extinct Strathepolic culture. Within the 5th millennium BC, numerous kinship groups emerged. In the very first years of the 2nd millennium BC, the first kingdom of Maltervenia formed. The kingdom was ruled by the Jubrita dynasty for three hundred years until it was taken over by the Bagrin dynasty. Their dynasty thrived on slaves from across the continent, building ancient temples, castles and their footprint across the lands for another seven hundred years until the death of its last king.
Upon king Volkemur's death in 998 BC, the there was inheritance dispute between his eleven sons, and after a short conflict which saw his eldest son killed, Maltervenia split into ten smaller kingdoms. The names for these kingdoms were Horkon, Avelon, Qinlon, Jublon, Redrug, Miyaron, Lampelon, Corstan, Lambolon and Tuke.
From 998 BC to 765 BC, the ten kingdoms had become three after several marriages for geopolitical benefits; the Kingdom of Redrug, the Kingdom of Jersia and the Kingdom of Tuke.
In 972 BC, the kingdoms of Qinlon and Avelon became the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Lutder of Qinlon and queen Nasama of Avelon. In 901 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Corstan, taking control over the area. In 863 BC, the kingdoms of Jublion and Lambolon became the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon after the marriage of king Pippindu and of Jubliak and queen Bourna of Lambolon.
Around 800 BC, the kingdom of Redrug fought and won against the kingdom of Horkon, taking control over the area. In 795 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon declared war against the kingdom of Miyaron. During the conflict, Miyaron allied itself with Lampelon, creating a capable resistance to the stronger eastern country. In 789 BC, the kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and the kingdom of Qinlia-Avelon became the United Kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon after the marriage of king Norgel of Qinlia-Avelon and queen Vessala of Jubliak-Lambolon. After the United Kingdom defeated the kingdoms of Miyaron and Lampelon in 765 BC, taking control over the area; the united kingdom of Jubliak-Lambolon and Qinlia-Avelon became the kingdom of Jersia.
From the years 765 BC and 650 BC, nothing happened between the three kingdoms. In 650 BC, the kingdoms of Redrug and Jersia became the second Kingdom of Maltervenia after the marriage of king Redunnia II of Redrug and queen Serenia of Jersia.
After the eventual death of Redunnia II and Serenia, their son, Lampedris I was crowned the first king of the new country. The country existed until its collapse in 452 AD, taking over more land until it clashed with the borders of the Kormistazmic Empire, the Xagrurgian Empire and the Ethalrian Empire.
After the death of King Lancelyn in 452, the land was torn into thirteen petty kingdoms. From 452 until 553 there were a series of battles that is defined under the War of the Thirteen Kingdoms, resulting in four states; Luradia, Klovia, Trentath and Staynnica. During this war, outside kingdoms including the Kormistazmic Empire, the Ethalrian Empire and the Xagrurgian Empire made significant advances into the cumulative territory that made up the former Second Kingdom of Maltervenia.
There was a period of relative peacetime within the four kingdoms following the end of the war. When the Segar dynasty ended after the death of King Sebastian in 810, he was was replaced by his cousin Otho Dohaeris as King of the Luradans. Otho's mother, who was King Sebastian's aunt had died a year before. She married the second son of King Raghaus I of Klovia, a move sought to bring the two kingdoms together. It was soon revealed that Otho's mother had an affair with a commoner making Otho's claim illegitimate. Otho had a younger cousin on his fathers side, prince Randal, who's late father married a deceased Luradan princess, making him the legitimate ruler. This sparked a major multi-theater civil war fought alongside an independence movement which was was a three-way battle for the throne between Otho Dohaeris, his cousin Randal Dohaeris, King Perceval of Trentath who had a legitimate claim as well as King Raghaus I of Klovia, the cousins' shared grandfather.
After the war, there remained two kingdoms, Luradia and Staynnica. There was a period of peace from the start of the 10th century until 955 after the death of King Rædulf of Staynnica at the hands of a Luradian plot to take control of Staynnica. The two kingdoms went to war, with Luradia invading Staynnica and defeating the oldest son Ræulf at the battle of Kretan in 959. The second son Rænnulf reigned in turn, but was defeated by King Botulf six years later at the battle of Dog Lake in 965. The third son, Rænnulf, died of dysentery during 970. The fourth and last son, Pip the Gallant, fended off Luradan invasions and soon thereafter orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the capital of Luradia, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.
The Kingdom of Staynnica was the far superior Kingdom in the latter stages of the second integrum period. It controlled all of the north and west coasts, but did not have control of the land between the current borders of Staynes, Caltharus and Vothetria. The second, less known Kingdom was Luradia, and controlled the eastern land of Lake Lamberta, all the way down to Kirdintayos.
