Flaming Barge Revolution (3519-3526)

The County of Miaftri and neighboring states as of 3000 AA.

The Elesmiao Magocracy had controlled the Mibfoc Valley for more than a thousands years, however by 3519 it had grown weak. The Siemetv Great Clan had conquered most of the Atram principalities in the west, it sent repeated incursions through the borders plundering Tibecia and Bist. While the Archimage armies were occupied in the west, the merchants of the cities of Miaolti, Nirta and Vesbomio organized a revolt. They were unhappy of the high taxes , the absolute control of river trade by the Archimage and the stop in the works for the canalization of the Mibfoc river. Nelasia, the Archimage, had been ruling for only three years and had made trading deals with the Aoner Magocracy and the Amestin Empire practically giving them full control of ocean trading routes. The merchants of the three cities sought the help of the Macrom and Robimecim slaves that worked in the cities and the Miaolti, Vonzie (Vesbomio) and Vivimbimi (Mibfiao) Principalities (dependent of the magocracy). Other Robimecim tribes fleeing the Great Clan of the Siemetv from the Voditram Principality (independent), attacked the north-western cities of Acaviao and Gidiao. In 3520, the merchants used incendiary barges to sink the Archimage's river fleet, the cities of Nirta and Miaolti were freed. The Archimage fled to Zontiao, taking all of its armies that weren't holding the western border from the Great Clan.

Vesbomio was still controlled by the Prince of Vonzie in 3521, when the Robimecim tribes set siege at the city and took it one year later helped by the merchants and slaves inside the walls. However the Vonzie Prince let the Maomir and Mirmiao tribes in from the north, in 3522 they conquered Vesbomio and then Nirta. Most of the two cities rebelled population, where taken to the Great Temple of Mir and sacrificed to the divinity. In the mean time, the Miaolti Prince took back his city, the remaining rebels fled to the Macrom tribes territories. The same year the Northern and Miltu Principalities seceded from the Magocracy In the west the Great Clan of the Siemetv had launched an offensive, quickly taking Tibecia, Acaviao and burning Bist. They continued advancing in the following years taking Gidiao, Viplis and Biaofan. Until 3525 when the allied forces of the Aoner and Elesmiao Magocracies stopped the attack on Eskola and destroyed most of the Great Clan armies.

In 3525, the rebel forces marched again on Miaolti killing the Prince and conquering the city. They went up the Mibfoc river and conquered Nirta. They faced the Elsemiao and Aoner armies in Mibfiao and sieged the city taking it in 3526. The Mialof Republic was founded the same year, with the creation of the River Senate in Miaolti and the Lands Senate in Nirta. The provinces of the newborn republic were, at its foundation:

Rise Over Mages (3526-3593)

After 3526, the Elesmiao Magocracy held only on the eastern territories, all the others having taken their independence or being under control of the Mialof Republic. The war between the Magocracy and the Republic continued until 3532, when the Archimage Nelasia went to the Eles Theocracy (that had a neutral stance in the war) and participated in the ceremonial bathing in the Great Temple of Eles. However, the water had been poisoned by the priests, the Archimage died without having chosen a successor. The Archimage Council voted in 3535 to let the Mialof Republic choose the successor. The Republic then started a campaign against the Maomir reign, retaking Vesbomio and burning the Mirmiao forest and city. In the following years the Republic fully took control of the Mibfoc river from the Aoner Magocracy, while the river delta that remained under control of the Amestin Empire. In 3540 they founded the city of Crodola on the border, and began expanding their oversea commerce, with the release of the first Sea Commerce Permits by the River Senate.

The Aoner Archimage allied in 3557 with the remaining Mirmiao tribes, they reconquered the Maomir territories but were stopped and defeated at the walls of Vesbomio by the Republic Armies, notably with armies from Pommio (recently freed from the Ponpi Principality).

In the following years the territories of the Republic expanded, Teppem was taken in 3564 and Zontiao in 3567. In 3582 the Republic attacked the Aoner Magocracy with the help of the Nofmac tribes, the Archimage was defeated in 3593 and forced to step down. With this, Niacci, Listia and other cities of Miaotir eastern coast were under Mialof control, which gave them the capability to even further expand their long distance trading.

Government

---

The main feature of the Mialof state from its foundation, a democratic-plutocratic mixed republic, was the separation of power between the Lands Senate and the River Senate. These two institutions gathered the legislative and part of the executive power. The Vesbomio Overseeing Tribunal, created in 3546, it oversaw all tribunals across the republic and held cases between large corporations or regarding the government. Later institutions, were the Bounding Assembly (created in 3607) and the Military Autority (created in 3641). The power of these different bodies varied throughout history but they mostly kept relatively distinct roles.

Lands Senate

The Lands Senate gathered in Nirta and was composed of senators for each province. Each Province elected at least one senator, with additional senators every 200.000 citizens in the province. The Colonies had always only one ( Governor's ) Representative, they didn't always have the same powers as senators and in most colonies weren't elected. Overall, this Senate was composed of more than 500 Senators and 4 Representatives.

The Lands Senate elected a single Chancellor, to oversee the senate and take part in the Bounding Assembly.

The Lands Senate had legislative power over the citizens (education, justice, health...) and lands (land-use, province organization, roads, public infrastructure) of the Mialof republic.

Rivers Senate

The Rivers Senate was composed of 6 standard chambers of 30 members, for each official production type:

• Harvest (agriculture, husbandry)
• Extraction (mines, forestry)
• Wilds (hunting, fishing)
• Crafts (artisans, metallurgy)
• Symbols (banks, traders)
• Construction (building, infrastructure)

These Chambers were made of senators elected between and by all citizens that payed more than the High Threshold in state taxes. Moreover, you had to possess a business in the right field to be elected or cast a vote for a Senator in a given Chamber. If someone had more than one different business, they could only cast one vote in the Chamber of their choosing. However, the citizens that could vote, could choose any Chamber they wanted. The Shipping Chamber, was composed of Deputies of all the corporations holding Oversea Shipping Permits. Each Deputy had a voting power of 1/30^th of all the senate. In all, the Rivers Senate was made of 180 Senators and most often between 5-20 Deputies.

Each Chamber elected a Chancellor, they had veto powers over most decisions and were part of the Bounding Assembly.

The Rivers Senate had legislative power over the economy, companies and state budget.

Overseeing Tribunal

The Vesbomio Overseeing Tribunal, was the central justice body of the Mialof Republic. It was composed of 56 judges randomly chosen from the pool of eligible citizen. A citizen was eligible, if they had a Law Degree given by a certified University, they also had to have held any political or judicial position for at least 20 years. This citizen could cast their name, on a sphere, in the Silver Box in Vesbomio, when one of the 56 died (or was in any other way prevented from exerting their function) a sphere was taken at random from the box and the new judge was chosen.

Bounding Assembly

The Bounding Assembly was composed, of the Lands Chancellor, the 7 Rivers Chancellors, the Military Chancellor, a Continuity Chancellor (elected by the preceding Assembly). The Archimages were part of the Bounding Assembly but only as counsel. The Bounding Assembly held most of the executive power.

Military Authority

It was made of 6 Generals and 4 Admirals of the Republic. Generals and Admirals chose their successor, however the Bounding Assembly had a right of veto.

The Military Authority made strategic military decisions however its powers were limited during times of peace.
