History

The United Socialist States of Aetherias declared independence on 15 March 2004. The fledgling nation adopted Aether I as the country's first Tsar on 17 March 2004.

Society

The Tsar of Aetherias is elected through elections held every 5 years. The first Tsar, Aether I, was assassinated by a mountain goat just 37 days after taking office. As a result, goats are outlawed in Aetherias. Tsar Aether II enjoys tremendous support from Aetherians who are a fiercely patriotic lot. The people of the nation of Karken, however, seem to enjoy eating Aetherians. The general consensus among Aetherians, though, is that Karkenians are insane.

About the nation

Aetherias is named after Aether, the Ancient Greek god of light. It is not related to Aetherios, although it is possible both names share the same origin.

Tsar Aether II unveiled the national anthem of Aetherias on 1 January 2005. The anthem, in Latin, was written to the music of the Soviet/Russian national anthem:

Munio patria aeterna eternus Semper animis opibusque parati Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori Dum tempus habemus, opermur vici

Ave, Imperator - Dominus patrie! Qui vivat atque plurimos annos Nulli nisi stolidi credo deus in esse Patria est communis omnium parens
