Lysofos

Lysofos is a state on the continent of Veldraala. The country is a parlimentary republic that chooses it's leaders democratically. Lysofos was formed a couple hundred years after the fall of the Romas empire. Houses that stayed on Veldraala rather than travelling to the west formed the country out of 6 states: Kyrikos, Anapole, Dypo, Notiko, Vorofos and Nisipo. Lysofos borders the Sadrol Desert and the Direlands. Lysofos has been unable to extend it's borders due to the emptiness in all directions.

Origins
After the fall of the Romas Empire the houses that stayed behind were left in disarray. The entire landscape of the empire was decimated and little life bloomed. Great House Lysofos and it's allies and vassals stayed where they were to form Lysofos in the hopes of creating a republic. Succesfully, due to the fertile land and common rainfall, Lysofos bloomed in a hundred years after it's conceiving to a multi-regional state. The capital, Evispito, is named after Thulio Evispito  and serves as the seat of the republic and parliament.

Lysofonian Conquest
182 years before the Great Rebellion the Lysofonians invaded the eastern shore of the Valusian Sovereign. After a thirteen year war the Lysofonians succesfully occupied the Sovereign. Domaco Pontorius served as the general who led the invasion and for his heroism and succesful campaign he was named Great Lord of the Valusian Sovereign. The Lysofonians managed to keep the kingdoms under their control for 169 years until the Great Rebellion happened. After the 31-year long rebellion the Lysofonians were drawn thin on resources and were forced to abandonn their occupation in the kingdoms. Since then the Lysofonians have had no contact with the sovereign.

Military
The Lysofonian army is hierarchal and is divided into six commands - each in a respective region. Collectively the army is roughly 150,000 strong. Most of which are in Vorofos. During their conquest of the sovereign the Lysofonians sent an army roughly as big as their current armed forces, with over 50,000 left at Lysofos. Over the last 200 years the Lysofonians have tried to rebuild their once great army.
