In the wake of the Tyro-Itheraen War, with the installation of Queen Athena as absolute ruler over the nation, many predicted that there would be much unrest over the subject of being reverted back to a monarchy. However, no riots came, the people had begrudgingly accepted this and went on with their lives as, in the end, it was but a minor change for them. Yet, a majority of Itherae approved at the prospect of having Queen Athena rule over the nation, a strange fact to both the Queen and, no doubt, the Tyro-Redanian administrators that had arrived to Itherae to collect the first payment of $5,000,000 in war debt that had been thrust onto the nation. With promises of more payment in the following year, the Tyrians left without much of another word, a pleasant experience to the ears of the lady Wolfram.

However, the payment was the least important thing to happen in the month of February, a new decree was given to the entire nation, on February 18th, from the former capital building in Itherae. [i]“After much discussion with the Senate, it has been decided that the city of Diopolis has been selected to be the new capital of Itherae. This is for the reasons of culture, with a great ancient empire having been founded in the area many centuries ago, in the early years of the bronze era. As many historians might now, this empire, the Aliban Empire. It lasted for dozens of centuries before its ultimate collapse from famine and war. Additionally, the city of Itherae shall be renamed to before the founding of the Republic, the city of Hermara.”[/i]

With that, the public knew that Diopolis was then the capital of the Itheraen kingdom, a much needed move to prove that Athena was to mold the kingdom away from some of the ideals that the Republic had. Yet there was a problem, Diopolis had no railways to speak of, and while the Republic had attempted to connect the city to the railway network, their interventionist views had stopped them from getting it done. Though, they were smart enough to put aside funds for an Itherae-Diopolis rail line, though they were not smart enough to see the potential to of connecting all the cities to the capital by rail. Athena saw this as a chance for the locomotive industry to boom and ordered for the railways to be constructed from Diopolis.

Furthermore, the lady saw another need from another nation, Survia and their lack of industry. Though, there was a great advantage to getting on the good side of such a power, with their powerful navy and ability to aid Itherae at a moments notice given their short relative distance for the Kingdom. Being the proactive lady that she was, sent a telegram addressed specifically to the king of the nation on February 26th, 1901.

Almeida, Survia


              To the Crowned King Alfonso Joan VII, it comes with great delight that the Kingdom of Itherae finds much potential in the blooming industry of Survia. While currently Survian Industry may not yield much, Itherae is prepared to offer $5,000,000 in investment towards the Survian industry. It is also a symbol of good faith from the Kingdom to Crowned Republic of Survia itself, a hope to foster good relations between our two nations.
