Asteklion: Difference between revisions

Line 60:

After a century from recovering from the collapse and despite having access to many former sources of natural resources, the nation steadily developed into becoming a staple of external trade once again and became a highly developed country and now serves as a major shipping and financial hub. Though the economy pales in comparison to it's neighbours on [[Sarpedon]], the GDP is increasing at a steady rate of 4.5% per year. Income inequality is on the rise because of government budgeting changes but is planned to be resolved within the next few years, according to President Siskos. Asteklion is placed in high regard among issues such as healthcare, crime and housing, with a home-ownership rate of 87 percent. Asteklians enjoy life expectancies above average in [[Sarpedon]], fast internet speeds and some of the lowest levels of corruption in the world.

==~~Etymology~~==

==Name==

The name originates from the Istroyan goddess of the stars, [[Asteia]], a derivative from the Aegoskopeion pantheon of the goddess [[Astreya]]. The settlement name later changed to Astecleum during the Latinisation of Istroyan civilisation after the decline, with the polis being used as an ancient port. Astecleum was once again Istroyanised and the name Asteklion remains intact throughout history to the present day.

Other notable rulers of the period include but are not limited to; King [[Eukles III]], Queen [[Arethusa II]], King [[Telemachos]] and King [[Timonax]]. By 550 BC, Asteia was officially recognised as a kingdom by all other powers in the realm and the dynasty remained in power until 350 AD with the last ruler being Queen [[Calypso II]], as she bore no children and the line could no longer continue. Historians theorise she was afflicted by a disease that caused infertility, though no evidence can be provided. An epic was written during the 5th century AD celebrating her rule and dramatises scenarios that occurred during her reign. Another royal dynasty was never established until many centuries later as the Asteician people of the period believed the dynasty to be a celestial gift bestowed by the gods to their disciples and thus nobody else was worthy.

The decline saw both resource shortages and reoccurring incidents of famine kingdom-wide caused by the increasingly isolationist views of the people caused by the rapid rise of greater powers both on [[Sarpedon]] and former Istroyan colonies in [[Levantia]]. A distinct lack of history is recorded during this time period with the stagnation of both culture and technology and is known to historians under other names such as the [[Istroyan Gap]] and the [[Istroyan Dark Age]], officially ending by c. 1000 AD with the account of an Istroyan nation purchasing numerous secrets of technological advancements from across the sea in [[Audonia]] to inspire a growth in prosperity once more. The [[Kingdom of Asteia]] during this period also similarly reached a period of stagnation for many centuries after the death of their final ruler. Little is known about the method of governance used at the time, though evidence suggests the Asteicians no longer referred to themselves as a kingdom. Subsequently, Asteia began to be Latinised by influence exerted from [[Caphiria]] to establish a foothold in Istroyan territory in exchange for famine resolutions, political guidance and stability. The city of [[Asteia]] was ~~soon~~ renamed to [[Astecleum]] during this period.
