The Lionarchy is a large plushie state and a vassal of the Tigerium. The Lionarchy functions as an absolute monarchy, with Leeuwtje, head of the House of Orlion, as its monarch. The exact date of the Lionarchy's establishment is disputed, though it is formally set at 1 December 2025. The capital is Pallion and the Lionarchy is solely inhabited by lions. The national currency is the Tigerium Crown.

History

Panther War

During the panther war, the lions were headed by emperor Leonidas I. Leonidas sided with the Tigerium against Pantheron's Pantheria. Little is known about the war effort by the Lionarchy during the war. Leonidas, alongside all lions besides Leeuwtje were absorbed into the void. Though it marked an end to the war, the Lionarchy was entirely destroyed.

Build-up of the Lionarchy

After the catastrophic void-event, Leeuwtje proclaimed himself king of the Lionarchy, as there were no lions to oppose him. In the Tigerium, Tijgertje proclaimed herself queen. The two monarchs opened communications and started friendly relations. After having built up a friendship, Leeuwtje allowed the Lionarchy to become a vassal-state of the Tigerium in order to receive more support and to be able to build the nations up together.

Certain enemies like Tijgeron opposed the Tigerium and subsequently also the Lionarchy. However, Leeuwtje himself never experienced much violence from Tijgeron.

Void escapees

At some point during 2025, several lions escaped the void. Some old family members of Leeuwtje returned. Leeuwtje granted them high-ranking positions. Several other lions also escaped the void, including the old emperor Leonidas I and the House of al-Ashad, who before the void-event were a high ranking family and served Leonidas I. The escapees populated the Lionarchy but also caused internal conflict.

Lionarchic civil war

Main article: Lionarchy civil war

After lions started returning from the void, around May of 2025, former-emperor Leonidas I declared independence and urged his loyalists to take up arms against the current monarchy headed by Leeuwtje. The current monarchy was still a vassal to the Tigerium, so immediately the Fangtooth Clan intervened and seized key positions within the Lionarchy, keeping Leeuwtje in charge of the country. However, this did not end the conflict, as Leonidas I maintained the attacks on the royalist forces.

Belligerents

Though the conflict started as a internal conflict, as the conflict continued, it turned into a proxy war. The Tigerium, Pigtopia, Beardom, Hopstate, Juniorwood and United Neckdom supported Leeuwtje, whereas several other countries, often opposing the hegemony of the Tigerium, predominantly the Sibearian Federation, People's Republic of Honingen, Gray Triumvirate, Hyenian Dynasty and Royal Primate supported Leonidas.

Nemerakian Theocratic State

During the civil war, a third insurgence group was detected. This insurgence group, the Nemerakian Theocratic State (NTS), led by Nemerak, a lion who was mainly active before the void-event and was seen as a god by large amounts of lions, was notoriously violent towards both sides and aimed to establish a large Nemerakian state with Nemerak as it's absolute ruler.

House of al-Ashad

A fourth small faction appeared not much later as well, headed by the House of al-Ashad. This group remained neutral for the most part of the war, attempting to appease both sides and the family presented themselves as the neutral compromise and aimed to depose both Leeuwtje and Leonidas I. Additionally, they declared NTS a terrorist organization. As the Ashads grew in power, the Sibearian Federation as well as the Gray Triumvirate moved their support entirely from Leonidas's faction to the Ashad-faction.

Inhabitants

There are several different types of inhabitants in the Tigerium. These types are divided into several groups. All groups are led by the Royal Tiger Family, but also have a separate leader leading the group.

Tigers

The largest and main group are the regular Tigers. They are led by Tijger.

Latigers

The second largest group are the Latigers, practically the same as the regular Tigers, but the Latigers come from a Roman area. The Latigers are led by Nero.

Cheetahs

The Cheetahs are a smaller group, most often serving as army commanders. They are led by Bolso Caesar.

Fangtooths

The Fangtooths are a specific type of tiger, with all Fangtooths serving as police officers or in some cases as soldiers. The Fangooths are led by Tiberius.

White Tigers

Commonly, White Tigers serve as bodyguards for high ranking officials. The most well known one is the Iron Tiger, serving the Royal Tiger Family. The White Tigers are led by Siberius.

Tigians

The Tigians are a group of wealthy Tigers named after drinks, often Tea, Coffee or Alcohol. Their leader is called Aspall.

 === Panther War ===
-The origins of the Tigerium date far back from before Tijgertje's birth. Her older brother, [[Tigrish]], ruled as king at the time. He established [[Tigerdam]], the capital. The Tigerium was already a large country, but got involved in a [[Panther War|large war]] with [[Pantheron]]. The war cost the lives of nearly all tigers. Most species, including the Panthers, also were nearly or entirely eradicated. In a decision to end the war, Tigrish opened the [[void]], which absorbed nearly all animals, subsequently ending the war. Just before this catastrophic event, Tijgertje and her twin brother, [[Tiggy]], were born. Tigrish and Tiggy were both absorbed into the void, leaving only Tijgertje and a few other tigers behind.

-After the catastrophic void-event, Tijgertje proclaimed herself queen of the Tigerium. With only a few surviving tigers, she commenced a build-up of the Tigerium, signing alliances with several other species, primarily the [[Hoppers]] and [[Bears]]. Following talks, [[Bunny]] and [[Beertje Bacon]] integrated their species into the Tigerium, serving as puppet-states.

+Certain enemies like [[Tijgeron]] opposed the Tigerium and subsequently also the Lionarchy. However, Leeuwtje himself never experienced much violence from Tijgeron.
-At this time, [[Tijgeron]], the last surviving panther, consolidated power as well, uniting the [[Rats]], [[Mice]], [[Monkeys]], [[Crocodiles]] and [[Elephants]] under his rule. They formed a internationally recognized group known as [[Tijgeron's Hordes]]. They raided and invaded the Tigerium several times, but they were never successful in conquering the Tigerium.

+==== Belligerents ====
+Though the conflict started as a internal conflict, as the conflict continued, it turned into a proxy war. The [[Tigerium]], [[Pigtopia]], [[Beardom]], [[Hopstate]], [[Juniorwood]] and [[United Neckdom]] supported Leeuwtje, whereas several other countries, often opposing the hegemony of the Tigerium, predominantly the [[Sibearian Federation]], [[People's Republic of Honingen]], [[Gray Triumvirate]], [[Hyenian Dynasty]] and [[Royal Primate]] supported Leonidas.
-=== Vassals ===
+===== Nemerakian Theocratic State =====
-The Tigerium had several vassals, including the bears, hoppers, giraffes, sheep, lions and grats. Around late 2025, the bears started demanding independence, which they received and soon after established the [[Beardom]]. Following the Beardom independence, the sheep of [[Velderen]] and hoppers of the [[Hopstate]] declared independence. The independence declaration of Velderen went smoothly, but the Tigerium did not release the Hopstate, consequently starting a independence war. The Beardom as well as the giraffes, still a puppet of the Tigerium, fought against the Tigerium army and eventually Tijgertje allowed the hoppers their independence.
+During the civil war, a third insurgence group was detected. This insurgence group, the [[Nemerakian Theocratic State|Nemerakian Theocratic State (NTS)]], led by [[Nemerak]], a lion who was mainly active before the void-event and was seen as a god by large amounts of lions, was notoriously violent towards both sides and aimed to establish a large Nemerakian state with Nemerak as it's absolute ruler.
-The Tigerium still ruled over the giraffes, lions and grats. The giraffe-[[Longneck]] and grat-[[Feliciate]] were full-on puppet-states unlike the lion-[[Lionarchy]]. The Lionarchy was officially ruled by [[Leeuwtje]], a subject of Tijgertje. However, during mid-2025 a revolution broke out in the Lionarchy, with four different factions. The ancient Lion-Emperor [[Leonidas]], who fell into the void, escaped and returned to the Lionarchy. Following this, many lions took his side. Another faction was led by [[Scor]]. He, along with his two sons [[Scer]] and [[Scar]], seized control of some territories. A third faction was led by [[Nemerak]], a lion who is worshipped by many of his followers as a god. The fourth faction is led by Leeuwtje himself, who had a relatively small army but was strengthened with Tigerium support.
+===== House of al-Ashad =====
+A fourth small faction appeared not much later as well, headed by the [[House of al-Ashad]]. This group remained neutral for the most part of the war, attempting to appease both sides and the family presented themselves as the neutral compromise and aimed to depose both [[Leeuwtje]] and [[Leonidas I]]. Additionally, they declared NTS a terrorist organization. As the Ashads grew in power, the [[Sibearian Federation]] as well as the [[Gray Triumvirate]] moved their support entirely from Leonidas's faction to the Ashad-faction.
