Thyon (IPA: /θɪ:ɔ̃n/), officially the Empire of Thyon, is a country in the continent of Meran on the planet Basis. It borders Holaria, Tamodia and Qym to the north, Prugundy to the east, and Chiyan to the south. Thyon is a federated monarchy, which consists of three constituent kingdoms, Thyon, Merin and the Maritime Union – which itself consists of three states – and four imperially administered provinces, Aunan, Luser, SOUTH and SOUTHWEST. Each constituent kingdom has a monarch, along with an elected government. The capital city is Polamdi, and the largest city is Rhempo, closely followed by the cultural and historical capitals of Fepo and Khapo.

In the Copper Age, from 3000 BCE, the territory of present-day Thyon was inhabited by early Auser civilisations, centred on the central Auser River plains. The agriculturally focused Auser civilisation and culture spread from the central plains toward the OCEAN coast and up river to the Auser Uplands. The Cunerians, a coastal Auser tribe, gradually expanded their territory until founding the Cunerian Empire in 1000 BCE. The Cunerian Empire expanded Old Thyonese language and culture across southern Meran. Following the Sukatic Invasion in 990 CE, the empire collapsed and was divided into various duchies. Following the Battle of Volapo in 1011, the Duchy of Merin was incorporated into the Sukats Kingdom, with Thyo-Merinese culture divided and subdued in Merin. After 200 years of Sukatic rule, the events of Thyo-Merinese Rejuvenation led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Merin in 1445 CE, the expulsion of Sukatic influence, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Thyon in 1623 CE. The Rejuvenation Era, saw Merin and Thyon fight battles for influence over the Thyo-Merinese world.

Formation of the unified Thyon nation-state began in 1870 CE, led by the Kindgom of Thyon, and established the Thyonese Empire in 1900 CE. The newly established empire expanded to conquer the Auser Uplands region of Central Meran, as well Lower Thyonese speaking regions in Southern Meran.

Thyon is a member of the Basis Forum. It is also a member of the International Trade Federation and the Basis Climatic Organization, and hosts the headquarters of several international organizations, including the Basis Development Bank. Thyon is a developed country with one of the largest economies on Basis.

Government and politics

Thyon is a federal constitutional elective monarchy, made up of three constituent kingdoms and four imperially-administered provinces. The constituent kingdoms of Thyon and Merin have their own hereditary monarchs, while the Maritime Union has a rotating Council of Presidents. The imperial monarch is known as the Archon.

Thyon has a federal or imperial parliament, known as the Federal Assembly, which is the responsible legislature for powers reserved for the federal government. The Archon appoints a Federal Cabinet appointed from members of the federal parliament, which in practice is always the party which commands a majority in the Federal Assembly.

Monarchy and royal family

Main article: Monarchy of Thyon

Thyon is a constitutional monarchy, nominally elected, but in practice the elected Archon has been the hereditary King of Thyon since 2170. The House of Ga has controlled the monarchy since 1970. The monarch is currently Adsei XIV, since 2428.

The Acts of Constitution define the relationship of between the Archon, the government and the Federal Assembly. The Acts were adopted in ????, in the immediate aftermath of the Boreal War. The Acts placed further limits on the Archon's power without the consent of the Federal Assembly, and replaced the Archon as the primary representative of Thyon's foreign policy.

Law

Thyon has no official written constitution, but the Treaty of Gergumlaauser, the Acts of Constitution, and the Acts of the Judiciary form the constitutional framework of Thyon. The Treaty of Gergumlaauser defines the powers of the Federal Assembly and the constituent kingdoms, modified by the Acts of Constitution. The Federal Assembly and constituent Parliaments are restricted from making laws which contravene the Treaty or the Acts of Constitution. The Treaty and later the Acts of Constitution established a process by which the constitutional framework can be amended. This requires a supermajority in all Parliaments of the constituent kingdoms and the Federal Assembly, before obtaining royal assent via a special session of the Federal Council.

The Federal Assembly may only pass laws on specific matters permitted by the constitutional framework, or if a matter is referred by the a constituent kingdom's parliament. Likewise, constituent kingdoms cannot pass laws on matters reserved for the Federal Assembly. Imperial and constituent laws which contravene the constitutional framework can be referred to the Federal Court, the supreme court of last resort of Thyon, to be struck down.

There is a federal judiciary headed by the Federal Court, the supreme court, which has unlimited and final jurisdiction for all civil, constitutional and criminal matters. Each constituent kingdom has their own judiciary and legal system. An ability to appeal constituent cases to the Federal Court was established by the Acts of Judiciary in 2380 CE. The federal judiciary is organised into appeals, provincial and specialist courts. The Federal Appeals Court hears appeals on cases referred from the lower provincial and specialist courts. The provincial and specialist courts serve as courts of original jurisdiction for cases in the provinces or in areas of law which are the domain of the Federal Assembly.

Constituent kingdoms and provinces

Thyon has three constituent kingdoms and four provinces, which are directly administered by the imperial government. Each constituent kingdom retains a monarch and a Parliament with the ability to pass laws on all matters except matters reserved to the Federal government.

The Maritime Union, while considered a constituent kingdom, is itself a union of smaller states. Prior to the Treaty of Gergumlaauser, the maritime trading principalities of Noeteo, Gal and Melapo had formed a loose union to advance shared interests. There is no unified governmental organs aside from the Council of Presidents, which consists of the President of Noeteo, Melapo and the Prince of Gal, and the Supreme Court of the Maritime Union. The Council of Presidents is responsible for intergovernmental relations on behalf of the Maritime Union. Each Maritime state has its own executive government, legislature and judiciary. Two of the Maritime states are no longer monarchies, having adopted presidential systems.
