Overview

Myroria is a country in the region of Vorlon. The local form used most often is just Myroria. The full name is "The Aristocratic Thalassocracy of Myroria." The country was created by William Guuy. Guuy started the first dynasty, and his beliefs and ideals have carried on to the modern twenty-fourth dynasty.

Main Exports & Imports

The three main exports of Myroria are mahogany, which grows plenty in the southern rainforest, ivory, from Walrus tusks in the NordTaiga, and haddock. When there is a surplus of crops, those are a thriving business. Most everything else is, unfortunately, imported from various colonies and other countries.

The Myrorian People

Their Background

Myrorians are largely Belgian and German in their ancestry, with most people immigrants from those countries. All native European Myrorians were descended from medeval nomadic tribes in the south of Germany.

Their Personality

Main Article: Myrorian Personality

Myrorians are very satiric and dark in their humor, and enjoy poking fun at other people's, especially foreigner's, misfortunes. Though Myrorians regularly poke fun at each other, this is taken in much better than if a foreigner made a joke. They are rather xenophobic, and first-generation immigrants will often find it very hard to earn the trust of his new countrymen.

Their Sports

Myrorians are not very sports-liking, though a good assortment of sports are popular among the people. Among the aristocracy, badminton is especially popular, as well as tennis. Among the gentlemen and women, Fox hunting is popular. For the commoners, polo is more predominant. American football, while not banned, would not be played by any self-respecting Myrorian because of the taboo and "barbarianism" associated with it.

Language and Religion

The most often used language in Myroria is German, with English following as a close second. The largest religion is by far, Roman Catholic, with Muslim second, then Atheism as a third. The standard of living in Myroria is very good, with about 98% of Myrorians living in houses with two floors, then 1.95 percent in one-floored houses, then 0.05 percent homeless. Attending school is mandatory for all students above 5 years old. The legal age of dropping out is 17, though few actually choose to.

Wars and Military

In 2006 A.D. Crown Princess Alexia was murdered by savages that attacked a settlement and her nearby summer palace. This started a war between the natives of Myroria and the Federal Infantry. After a short period of instablility, Myroria declared neutrality, only sending economic and humanitarian aid to her allies.

The military numbers are as follows:
Men and women trained to fight: 180,000
Men and women in other military jobs: 90,000
Men and women in armed forces: 270,000
Airplanes: 500
Helicopters: 300
Nuclear Warheads: 0


Soldier's Uniform

The typical Myrorian soldier's Ceremonial Uniform is modeled after the British "redcoat" uniform and consists of the following:

  • A dark red overcoat.
  • An ivory colored undercoat, with gold buttons.
  • Ivory colored pants, with the foot cuff embedded with gold leaf.
  • Black boots.
  • A musket (only used during burying services)
  • Occasionally, a shako.

The common Battle Uniform consists of:

  • Camoflauge jacket, pants, and boots.
  • An M-16 assault rifle.
  • Occasionally, camouflage face paint.

Cavalry

Myroria is one of the few countries to still actively use cavalry in battle. There are fourteen divisions of cavalry, all of them named after the capital of Quarrovth.

Economy and Crime

The economy in Myroria is very good, with the minimum wage being 10 deutsche marks per hour. Myroria is capitalizt, and communist and socialist countries viewed with suspicion. Income Tax has been abolished. The Myrorian Governmental Initiative has taken up most government duties.

Crime is no longer a problem, since the death penalty has been reintroduced.

History

In about 1236 A.D., William Guuy united nomatic tribes in what is now Germany and split from it. Electing himself king, he began the first dynasty, which lasted about 70 years. When the Kingdom of Germany repeatedly attempted to take Myroria, the country was ravaged by murdering, raping, enslaving barbarians. This continued until the thirty-ninth year of the 20th century, when Nazis from Germany to the north annexed Myroria to them. After the Nazis were defeated, Myroria was occupied by forces from the allies. After this, Parliament voted for Myroria to move to the region of Vorlon. On March 22 of 2006, Myroria became a vassal state of The Islamic Republic of Arab Sovereign States. After about three months, and two conquerings later, Arab Sovereign States was occupied, and it's vassals freed. The Second Golden Age is said to have begun at this point.

Politics

Myroria is a benevolent dictatorship, but the Great Houses aid in decision making. Parliament was disbanded after Fredrika came to power, calling it too corrupt. According to the Crown, it will be reformed once more trustworthy members are selected, though this is starting to be doubted.

Great Houses

The Great Houses of Myroria are what political parties are to a democracy. A group (usually family) of aristocrats who exert control over several companies and areas of Myroria and aid decision making on the part of the Imperatrix.

Great House Leader Description
Great House Quarrovth Fredrika I Great House Quarrovth is the Great House in power, led by the Imperatrix, Fredrika I. Their view on things is rather neutral. Quarrovth is largely centered around the The Church, and view honour and chivalry as the most important things in life. They are pacifistic and pioneered the idea of armed neutrality in Myroria.
Great House Hanso Alvar Hanso Great House Hanso is unique in that it is the first Great House to be led by a foreigner, a reclusive and old Danish man named Alvar Hanso. They are the most corporate of the group, with Hanso owning the most businesses out of the three. They hold an "every man for himself" attitude, and are the most progressive. Great House Hanso is the only house with an extensive paramilitary, and the most modern one at that.
Great House Worwoth Klaus Worwoth Great House Worwoth is the most notorious out of the three. Klaus is a fascist, and is rumoured to be connected with the Nazis, though he denies it. Out of the Great Houses, Worwoth is the most xenophobic, and foreigners are barred entry into the house. As of now, Worwoth is the smallest Great House, though their numbers are growing. Ironically, they inspired the colonialism that Myroria is now famous for.

Major Cities and Businesses

The largest city is Novrith, a major sea port. The city with the most independant businesses is Quarrovth, the capital. The largest communication company is Myrorian Communications Incorporated, or MCI. A large corporation helps run the country called The Myrorian Governmental Initiative, run by the power-hungry Alvar Hanso, a controversial figure because of his foreign background.

Provinces

The provinces of Myroria are Nordtaiga, meaning North Taiga. It is lightly populated, and is famous around the world for it ski resorts. The Western Province is called Zivilisierter Westen, or Civilized West. The capital of Quarrovth is here, and it is the most populated. It is the only province on the ocean. The Southern Province, or Land der Eingeborenen, is mostly rainforest, and is home to the Myrorian Natives, or Tyrolese as they call themselves. The Eastern Desert, or Östliches Ödland, is desert, and is home to only one major city.

Climate of the Provinces

In the cold north province, the summer temperature rarely gets above 60 degrees Celcius. In the densely populated west province, the climate is temperate and July temperatures is typically 75 degrees Celcius. In the south province, the wet rainforests temperature in summer is typically 90 degrees Celcius in the shade.

Music

Myrorians are famous for their love of music, 1960's rock especially. Unlike other countries, however, Myrorians are very serious as they listen to it, making it almost seem quiet. The foremost band, often at the top of BillyBoard chart records, is the Cockroaches, a Beatlesque band formed in the late 1990s.

Architecture

The main architecture type used in Myroria is the Rococo style, which is different from other Roman Catholic states, as the Church shuns it for it's unearthlyness and flamboyancy. Most tourists will find a huge similarity between Myroria and Austria or Belgium. The flowers that border the roads and autobahns of the Empire will strike an almost believable sensation of drifting along without an idea of where to go.
