Staynes and sometimes North Staynes since the independence of South Staynes is a country in the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with South Staynes to its south, Caltharus to the east, Axdel to the west and Ethalria to the south-east.
Staynes is arguably one of the oldest standing nations in Aurora, originally as Morstaybishlia for 543 years until it unified with Caltharus under Lambertus III during the Battle for Caltharus in 1515 where it was renamed the Morstaybishlian Empire. The 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 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 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 Justelvard after its total government collapse, and after three days had succeeded to reclaim the former Morstaybishlian territory.
