Rhayna (Aegean: Ράινα, Aegean pronunciation: [ráina]), United Provinces of Rhayna (Aegean: Ηνωμένες Επαρχίες του Ράινα, Aegean pronunciation: [inoménes eparchíes tou ráina]) or United Provinces of Rhayna, Alla-gy and Néa-gy (Aegean: Ηνωμένες Επαρχίες του Ράινα, Αλλα-Γη και Νέα-Γη, Aegean pronunciation: [inoménes eparchíes tou ráina alla gi kai néa gi]) is a big sized country located in the South Pacific and located in the middle of Cordilia, bordered by Qaweritoyu and Nori Natto to the north; Past at the east; the Valkyrian Republic, Hystaiga and the Federal Union of Kosbareland to the south; and the Cordilian Sea to the west.

Composed of three main parts, Rhayna's territory splits into three states; Rhayna, Alla-gy and Néa-gy, which, in order, enter the interior of the continent from the east. It covers an area of 931,948 square kilometers (359,827 sq mi), and it has mainly an arid climate, except to the east in Neá-gy. Here there is a humid subtropical climate, and on the banks of large rivers such as the Trómeros or Apóala, where it is usually cultivated after its annual floods. The capital is Pzárya, located in Rhayna at the mouth of the Imísy, and the largest city is Rouketá, with Pzárya just behind.

Rhayna was the cradle for the ancient civilization that was born on the shores of Trómeros and its lake Kryó, which between 520 BC and 25 AD expanded to the territory behind the mountain ranges of Prostasía and Défteros. During the conquest, natives from the north of Alla-gy attacked back, which led to the Deodian dictatorship in 646 BC in order to unify the three territories and maintain control in Alla-gy.

At the beginning of the 8th century the Deodian dictatorship ended and Rhayna's 1st Great Republic was created. This did not last long, and after a century it was replaced by a monarchy started in Rhayna. This triggered the creation of independent kingdoms in Alla-gy and Néa-gy, which caused Rhayna's Great Division and dissolution of the great territory. In 1085, the Union Revolution broke out, leading to the execution of the kings of Rhayna, Alla-gy and Néa-gy, the union of the three territories and the creation of Rhayna's 2nd Great Republic, which lasted until the early 16th century, more than 400 years.

In 1512 the expansion of the Union was necessary, so the Great Rhaynan Kingdom was established, whose function was to direct population campaigns in the deserts of Rhayna and Alla-gy, through the establishment of irrigation and villages in the vicinity of Prostasía and Défteros. This ended in warlike tensions with Hystaiga in the Apóala War, which resulted in Rhayna's 3rd Great Republic and the almost total population of the Rhayna and Alla-gy deserts in the early 20th century.

Thanks to the creation of the railroad, full communication was achieved between the previously almost totally isolated regions of Rhayna, which allowed a greater stability of the Union and avoid an event like that of Rhayna's Great Division. In the middle of the 20th century, a coup against the government of the 3rd Republic was committed by Elián Vasileiou, and a personalist dictatorship was established. This dictatorship only lasted 12 years, thanks to the troops of Rhayna and Néa-gy, Elián was captured and executed for crimes of mass genocide and war crimes against the minority populations of Alla-gy. In 1965 the UPRAN Republic was established, the Union's Constitution was written and stability has been maintained to this day.

On the world stage, Rhayna was involved in the Great War on the winning allied side.

Today Rhayna is an independent democratic constitutional republic led by the prytanis and viceprytanis. It is a developed nation that offers various welfare services. Among its raw materials are hydroelectric and solar energy, oil, metals and beef, in addition to offering tourism services such as long cruise trips on the Trómeros or the Imísy or visits to museums with various relics of Ancient Rhayna. The different regions of Rhayna have partial autonomy in their decisions except in the army, welfare services, vital services and others, which are controlled by the central government.

Etymology

Rhayna's name has been distorted over the years, although in Aegean it can still be translated as "rain", which is strange considering the main climate. Theories hold that civilization grew on the shores of lake Kryó, which would release large amounts of moisture into the air that would fall as rain, which would explain in a certain part the ironic name.

Meanwhile, the name of Spyssína has been severely distorted by Italikí influence. Even so, the name has been deciphered thanks to writings found in some ruins of Rouketá, which spoke about the etymology of the name. The word Spyssína /Spy-ssí-na/ is translated to Ancient Aegean as Σπισσίνα /Σπι-σσί-να/, Spy-s comes from Spy-tis (which means "house"), where the syllable "tis" was shortened to a single "s", and Sína /S-ína/ comes from the name of the goddess of Apóala of Italikís, thus meaning "House of Sína".

On the contrary, the name of Itiskír has been so distorted that it could not be deciphered exactly, although it is believed that it may mean something similar to "the house" or "the temple" of "Kír", goddess of the river Mesaia, but this knowledge could change in future research.

History

Main article: History of Rhayna

Fossils found in the Trómeros delta date from between 30,000 and 10,000 BCE, while in other rivers it is somewhat more recent, and the first constructions date from 7,000 years ago, which shows that there were human settlements for a long time, since before writing.

Ancient Rhayna

The great fertility of the sediments left in the annual floods of Trómeros, together with the isolation of towns thanks to the Rhaynan Desert, allowed the development of the rhaynan civilization.

The first settlers of Rhayna reached the shores of Lake Kryó and expanded west to the Trómeros delta, at that time a cluster of marshes and a focus of diseases, escaping the desertification of central Cordilia. The first towns, by means of irrigation systems, made the area habitable, and grouped the riverbed areas and cultivable areas in Tmímats. Over time and after agreements and disputes, the sixteen communities settled around Lake Kryó and within the Tromeros delta were united under the name of Rhayna around 3140 BC.

The history of Ancient Rhayna is divided into three periods, Ancient Rhayna, Ancient Spyssína and Ancient Itiskír, each characterized by the expansion of the Rhaynans to the east, and the influence this had on their culture, art and politics.

Geography

Main article: Geography of Rhayna

Rhayna lies primarily between latitudes -30º and -19ºN, and longitudes -39.5º and -25ºE. At 931,948 square kilometres (359,827 sq mi), it's one of the biggest countries in the South Pacific. Due to the extreme aridity of Rhayna's and Alla-gy's climate, population centres are concentrated along the narrow rivers valleys, deltas and Néa-gy.

Rhayna borders to the north by Qaweritoyu and Nori Natto, to the east by Past, to the south by the Valkyrian Republic, Hystaiga and the Federal Union of Kosbareland, and to the west by the Cordilian Sea.

Apart from the valleys of the major rivers and Néa-gy, the majority of Rhayna's landscape is desert, with a few oases scattered about. Winds create prolific sand dunes that peak at more than 25 metres (82 ft) high in Rhayna, while in Alla-gy dunes barely reach the 5 meters due to the surrounding mountains.
