History

The United Socialist States of Aetherias declared independence on 15 March 1794. The fledgling nation adopted Aether I as the country's first Tsar on 17 March 1794.

Government

Through nationwide elections held every 5 years, Aetherians elect a local representative to the Aetherian parliament. The head of government is a Tsar in direct descent from Tsar Aether I, the first Tsar of Aetherias. The Tsarist family has had a troubling history of premature deaths. Tsar Aether I had only been on the throne for 3 weeks when he was scratched by his pet cat. He succumbed to his injuries the next day. Since then many Tsars and Crown Princes have met their untimely deaths through dive-bombing piegons, pecking roosters, unwashed socks, etc...

Society

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
