Shairia

Shairia is a country in the Zendari world. Some people like to call it The Kingdom of Shairtrea (Shairia in Shairian). Most citizens are confused as to how it is pronounced, however Shairia is pronounced as "share-ee-yah" and the language is pronounced "share-ee-yun".

History
Shairia dates back to the Stone Age, as a newly found rock called Alpsa. Four cave men claimed the rock and declared it a holy rock. Later on in the Stone Age, the rock was knocked down. We move straight into the Vikings where Swedish vikings found some land. They claimed it for themselves and called it Yupakhia. In 1231 (estimation), Yupakhian citizens chased the Swedes away and became an independent country. In 1761, they bought some land and renamed themselves Shairia. At the time, only about 200,000 people lived there, and only 2,000 visiting every year. In 1789, they elected their first ever president, Lisa Makopa. She reigned as president until 1801, where the Shairians elected Julie Shaul as the next president. She reigned until 1811 where Tom Walsh was elected. He reigned for a whopping 34 years until 1845 when he tragically died in a horse accident. The next president was Lucia Kakamola. She reigned until 1866. In 1866, the Shairians chose Al Cardon, a 13 year old school boy, to be president. He reigned for only 2 years after hanging himself in 1868 at age 15. In 1868, the Shairians elected Paola Shamall. She remained president until 1889 when Shamall died in a car crash. In 1889, the Shairians scrapped the idea of presidents and changed their government type to Monarchy. In 1890, they elected Anna Louisa Shayli as the first queen of Shairia. She reigned until 1951, where the Shairians elected Eva Lokanagze. On 7th January 2018, Lokanagze died and had the longest reign, 66 years. In 2015, they had a backup election, where Marianna Locashea won, which means Marianna Locashea will reign as queen, however on 2nd February 2018, Locashea decided to step down so she could marry her long time boyfriend and move to Titonüi. In the 2016 backup election, Sárie Drøms won, making her the new queen. Drøms plans on staying queen for the rest of her life.

Regions


Regions in Shairia are some of the most interesting things. Each region has a President, however they do not take part in a full election, 2 randomly drawn MPs will try to persuade the other MPs to vote for them.

Here is the list of Presidents:

Dnrembly - Amira Lee Pleirat (next Queen of Shairia) Rassida - Erin Anskorskvaor Palencia - Tom Airis Brussia Ĉorconvia - Vánessa Orkonstrom

Dnrembly is the biggest region with a population of 18,000,000. Brussia Ĉorconvia is the least populated region, with only 100,000 living there. Brussia Ĉorconvia doesn't have any cities, except for West Cattahan. Rassida decided to give West Cattahan to Brussia Ĉorconvia in 1967, as they had no cities to keep the President's House in. Dnrembly has had expressions of becoming independent, however the Shairian Government decline the independence as a sign of losing population, and because the SBC HQ is in Tzraek, in Dnrembly, it would mean that SBC wouldn't be able to broadcast any shows, like the Zendari Song Contest. Rassida has also expressed interest of buying Svassate, the panhandle of Dnrembly. Svassate is the only panhandle in Shairia. Brussia Ĉorconvia is infact, the richest region in Shairia, however being the least populated and the smallest. Palencia receives the most attacks, having 6 attacks in 2017, with Dnrembly having 2, Rassida having 1 and Brussia Ĉorconvia having no attacks in 2017. The most serious attack in Palencia was the 2008 Ossatt Bombings, located in the Ossatt Shopping Center, where 265 people died, and 561 people were injured. However, the center has been rebuilt and is now in better condition. Because of these bombings, most buildings in Shairia have guards who check people's bags, pockets and suitcases. In a 2016 poll, Shairian citizens voted Brussia Ĉorconvia as the best region. Most citizens of Brussia Ĉorconvia call Brussia Ĉorconvia by the name Brussia, however citizens from Palencia, Rassida and Dnrembly must call it Brussia Ĉorconvia, unless they are talking to relatives from Brussia Ĉorconvia. The real name for Palencia is Palenese Republic, however Palenese government have asked if citizens from all countries/regions call it Palencia.
