Paradosia
A glorious king. The largest, wealthiest and most influential land in Thysia... to say nothing of our rich heritage and history, well, it's no wonder other countries watch us with such jealousy.Paradosia regards itself as the heart of Thysia, it is the largest country with the largest military presence and also has the claim that it was the first settled and 'civilised' land in all of Thysia. Paradosia is ruled by the Viltis family and has been since the end of The Uprising, a land of history, tradition and culture. Paradosia does not hold the same sway over Thysia as it once did BUT the centre of the world still holds enough influence and power to currently be in an era of peace, with neighboring countries unwilling to challenge them. Paradosia have instead become insular and DEEPLY arrogant in their culture, determinedly sticking to their traditions and their luxuries despite the dangers it poses to them. They retain this culture and path through a thick layer of propaganda and a focus on celebrations and festivals for almost every occassion.

Structure
Paradosia is organised as a monarchy, the Viltis family have ruled the country since The Uprising with the Viltis Glaive used as proof of power in the country and proof of kingship.
The king makes policies and edicts to run the country as well as dealing with any concerns of others around them and advising nobles and knights who run the towns and cities in Paradosia.
Culture
Paradosia are very proud of their long and storied history and their culture reflects this with artistic architecture, fairy tale style castles and lots of marble used in buildings. However, the lowered resources in the country and the decline in wealth is becoming apparent as many castles have crumbled to ruins and houses are being built with cheaper and more 'reasonable' materials.
Paradosia also takes the ideologies around Soul Arms VERY seriously and so many families have both risen and fallen in the social hierarchies due to the appearance of their weapons.
This is also the nation where any god worship is outlawed.
Assets
Paradosia is falling rapidly in terms of assets and wealth, any intelligent observer is aware of that, but they are still wealthy enough with enough reliance on them from other nations that they are able to survive and convince others of their worth.
History
The Viltis family have ruled Paradosia since The Uprising came to an end, a human family, the Viltis family have always produced male heirs for the throne and they are well known for the 'Viltis Glaive' that they use to prove their blood right to rule.
Though Paradosia has experienced various conflicts, in-fighting and tensions over it's existence, it has overcome these things and become the most prominent, cultured and reputable space in Thysia.
Foreign Relations
Paradosia has problematic relations with the nations around them much with what they perceive to be 'jealousy' from the other nations.
