The Lionarchy or Lionarchic Kingdom, is a state in Sabana located in the west of the continent. It is a constitutional monarchy under Leeuwtje of Orleons with a democratically elected coalition-government. The legislative branch of the government is the National Congress of the Lionarchy, which is composed of members of political parties. The prime minister leads the government. The Lionarchy's capital is Palleon and the Lionarchy is solely inhabited by lions. The national currency is the Tigerium Crown.

Etymology

Several sources indicate that the name Lionarchy is derived from an ancient council of aristocratic lions, which was founded and dissolved thousands of years before the Lionarchy was officially established. The first known confirmed record of the Lionarchy was the Lionarchic Empire, where its emperor, Leonidas I, most likely combined the words lion and aristocracy into the name of the country, being Lionarchy.

History

Early History

Main article: History of the Lionarchy

Ancient antiquity

There is little information on the Lionarchy during the Ancient Age. In the region of the current day Lionarchy, a predecessor-state inhabited the region, which was known as the Lionarchic Empire.

Panther Age

See also: Leonidas I's reign

During the Panther Age, the Lionarchic Empire under Leonidas I was still the dominant group in the lion-region. Leonidas I was reportedly suspicious of the Tigerium, led by Tigrish. However, when a large-scale conflict erupted between the Tigerium and Pantheria, Leonidas I sided with the Tigerium against the panthers. The panthers, led by Pantheron, had used several tactics against the Lionarchy which it was not prepared for. According to some sources, the Lionarchy supposedly surrendered afterwards. Soon after its alleged surrender, Tigrish and a council of tigers decided to open the void, which dismantled the Lionarchic Empire.

Current Age

Though most plushies were absorbed, Leeuwtje of Orleons survived the event. He established the Lionarchic Kingdom and aligned the Lionarchy closely with the Tigerium, which survived the void-event through Tijgertje, the only surviving tiger. Leeuwtje of Orleons proclaimed himself as Monarch of the Lionarchy. After having built up diplomatic relations with the larger Tigerium, Leeuwtje allowed the Lionarchy to become a vassal-state of the Tigerium.

Lionarchic civil war

Main article: Lionarchy civil war

During July 2025 and onwards, several lions escaped the void. The former emperor Leonidas I was one of the escapees, and proclaimed himself as emperor, which gave rise to unrest in the Lionarchy. Leeuwtje declared the statement false and started an armed suppression against Leonidas I and his followers, commonly known as the Imperialists. The armed suppression prompted the Imperialists to form an armed front in the northeast of the country against the monarchy, known as the Imperial Lionarchic Army (ILA). The forces under Leeuwtje, officially named the Royalist Lion Force (RLF), were outnumbered by the Imperialists. The Tigerium sent its official state army, the Fangtooth Clan, to intervene in the Lionarchy's internal conflict. The Fangtooths secured state-held areas whilst the RLF started an offensive against the Imperialists. A separate armed rebellion arose in the east and south of the country, known as the Nemerakian Theocratic State (NTS). It aimed to establish a separate state where Nemerak would be an authoritarian leader. NTS was characterized as disorganized and its forces were outnumbered by the other armies. NTS was widely regarded as notorious since it occasionally committed terrorist attacks and carried out assassination attempts.

During November and December of 2025, the Beardom threatened to remove its support for the royalists if they would not adopt a democracy, limiting the king's power. Though the Tigerium protested, the Lionarchy became fully independent and took on a democratic system with elections. Soon after, several political parties were established, including the Lionarchic Roarist Party or simpler known as Roarist Party, which was founded by Scor of Roarborne. Scor's rank of Grand Marshal of the Lionarchy allowed him to establish a private military force, known officially as the Roarist Lion Armed Forces (RLAF).

Belligerents

During 2025, the Lionarchic civil war turned into a four front war which evolved into a proxy war as the belligerent sides were backed by other external countries. These groups can be divided into four distinct sides:

First, the Lionarchic Kingdom led by Leeuwtje of Orleons and backed by royalists and his allies, including:
- Tigerium and its vassals supported Leeuwtje directly through means of sending troops into the country to reinforce Leeuwtje's influence. The Tigerium also aided Leeuwtje through economic means.
- Juniorwood and its vassals, Beardom, Pigtopia and the Hopstate aided Leeuwtje's side economically.
Secondly, the Imperialists or Imperial Lionarchic Army (ILA), led by Leonidas I.
- Rayak (until early 2026), the Royal Primate and the People's Republic of Honingen supported the Imperialist front economically, though providing no direct military support.
Thirdly, the Nemerakian Theocratic State (NTS), which occasionally committed terrorist attacks and carried out assassination attempts, was not supported by anyone due to their notorious nature, though Tijgeron and his Hordes did publicly speak out favorably of NTS.
Fourth, Roarist Lion Armed Forces (RLAF), led by Scor of Roarborne, supported the Roarist Party and held territory in the south of the country. It had officially signed a ceasefire with the royalist forces, but occasionally clashes took place.
- The Sibearian Federation, Rayak (since early 2026) and the Gray Triumvirate supported the Roarist forces militarily and economically.

Inhabitants

The only group of animals living within the Lionarchy are lions. The lions however are subdivided into four separate groups, Asmanes, Liowites, Regalites and Brandals.

In the meantime several Fangtooth soldiers, belonging to the Tigerium, are present in the country at the moment holding territory for Leeuwtje. Additionally, soldiers of the Gray Triumvirate and Sibearian Federation maintain large amounts of territory for Scor, who serves Safez's Roarist Party.

Asmanes

Main article: Asmanes

The Asmanes are the largest ethnic subdivision of lions. They are characterized by often having beige skin and brown manes. The House of Orleons consists predominantly of Asmanes.

History

The Asmanes were originally a small group within the Lionarchy. They were often supressed by the larger group of Regalites. Once a large scale void event appeared, mainly Regalites were absorbed into the void. Leeuwtje was one of few lions to survive the void-event and proclaimed himself king of the lions as a vassal to the Tigerium. With Leeuwtje being an Asmane, most high ranking positions went to Asmanes which subsequently caused the other ethnic groups to be supressed, establishing the Asmanes as the largest group within the Lionarchy.

Liowites

Main article: Liowites

Liowites are an ethnic minority within the Lionarchy. They are characterized having orange hair. Liowites often support the Roarists. Well known Liowites include Scor, Scar and Salah.

History

Liowites were mainly dominant throughout history before the void-event, when they ruled as second class citizens behind the Regalites and ahead of the Asmanes and Brandals. The noble family representing the Liowites, House of Roarborne, served Leonidas I loyally in high ranking positions. Once the void-event appeared, all Liowites were wiped out. Once the void started opening several Liowites returned, including the members of the Roarborne family. Scor of Roarborne established the Roarist Party which ethnically favoured Liowites. Consequently, primarily Liowites supported the Roarist Party.

Regalites

Main article: Regalites

Regalites are an ethnic minority within the Lionarchy who were the dominant group before the large Void-Event. Regalites are characterized often having yellow skin and yellow manes. Well known Liowites include Leonidas I and Usamah.

Brandals

Main article: Brandals

Brandals are an ethnic minority within the Lionarchy who are characterized often having brown skin and black manes. Most Brandals serve the Brandal-god Nemerak.

-During the panther war, the lions were headed by emperor [[Leonidas I]]. Leonidas sided with the [[Tigerium]] against [[Pantheron|Pantheron's]] [[Pantheria]]. Little is known about the war effort by the Lionarchy during the war. Leonidas, alongside all lions besides [[Leeuwtje of Orleons|Leeuwtje]] were absorbed into the [[void]].

-=== Build-up of the Lionarchy ===
+===== Panther Age =====
-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.
+''See also: [[Leonidas I's reign]]''
-Certain enemies like [[Tijgeron]] opposed the Tigerium and subsequently also the Lionarchy. However, Leeuwtje himself never experienced much violence from Tijgeron. Regardless, the Lionarchy declared war on [[Tijgeron's Hordes]].

-=== Void escapees ===
+==== Current Age ====
-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 members of the [[House of Roarborne]], 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 of Orleons|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.
+During July 2025 and onwards, several lions escaped the void. The former emperor [[Leonidas I]] was one of the escapees, and proclaimed himself as emperor, which gave rise to unrest in the Lionarchy.

It aimed to establish a separate state where Nemerak would be an authoritarian leader. NTS was characterized as disorganized and its forces were outnumbered by the other armies. NTS was widely regarded as notorious since it occasionally committed terrorist attacks and carried out assassination attempts.
-==== Belligerents ====
-Though the conflict started as an internal civil war, it turned into a proxy war soon after it started. 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]], [[Royal Primate]] and [[Tijgeron's Hordes]] supported Leonidas.
-===== Nemerakian Theocratic State =====
-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.
-===== House of Roarborne =====
+During November and December of 2025, the [[Beardom]] threatened to remove its support for the royalists if they would not adopt a democracy, limiting the king's power. Though the Tigerium protested, the Lionarchy became fully independent and took on a democratic system with [[Lionarchic Elections|elections]].

Scor's rank of [[Grand Marshal of the Lionarchy]] allowed him to establish a private military force, known officially as the [[Roarist Lion Armed Forces]] (RLAF).
-[[File:House of Roarborne Shield Square.png|300px|thumb|right|The [[House of Roarborne]]]]
-A fourth small faction appeared not much later as well, headed by the [[House of Roarborne]]. 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 of Orleons|Leeuwtje]] and [[Leonidas I]]. Additionally, they declared NTS a terrorist organization. As the Roarbornes grew in power, the [[Sibearian Federation]] as well as the [[Gray Triumvirate]] moved their support entirely from Leonidas's faction to the Roarborne-faction.
-===== Democratization =====
+===== Belligerents =====
-The House of Roarborne was led by [[Scor of Roarborne|Scor]]. He and his family aimed to rule the Lionarchy in a democratic way, with the head of the Roarbornes reigning as president. The Tigerium and Pigtopian monarchies both supported Leeuwtje's absolute leadership. The bears of the Beardom hold democracy in high esteem. The Beardom [[Beardom Constitutional Dual Monarchy|monarchs]], under pressure of the legislature and the general population, compelled Leeuwtje into formally adopting a constitutional monarchy, despite the Tigerium and Pigtopian support.
+During 2025, the Lionarchic civil war turned into a four front war which evolved into a proxy war as the belligerent sides were backed by other external countries. These groups can be divided into four distinct sides:
-===== Lionarchic Roarist Party =====
+* First, the [[Lionarchic Kingdom]] led by [[Leeuwtje of Orleons]] and backed by royalists and his allies, including:
-[[File:Leeuwarchistisch Roaristische Partij Logo.png|250px|thumb|right|The [[Leeuwarchistisch Roaristische Partij|Lionarchic Roarist Party]]]]
+** [[Tigerium]] and its vassals supported Leeuwtje directly through means of sending troops into the country to reinforce Leeuwtje's influence. The Tigerium also aided Leeuwtje through economic means.
-Regardless of Leeuwtje reducing his power to a constitutional monarch, Scor continued his campaigns against Leeuwtje. He established the [[Leeuwarchistisch Roaristische Partij|Lionarchic Roarist Party]], often abbreviated to the Roarists. Scor himself led the party. Though the party was an official political group, Scor kept the weapons and support received by the Sibearian Federation and Gray Triumvirate.
+** [[Juniorwood]] and its vassals, [[Beardom]], [[Pigtopia]] and the [[Hopstate]] aided Leeuwtje's side economically.
