As the civil war approached its conclusion, leaders of the Provisional Republic of the Songun met in Farpoint in January 1823 to discuss the formation of a new constitution and permanent government for the new nation. During this period, it also convened a special committee to choose a permanent name for the nation. Several options were considered - New Urcea, New Kiravia, Songunia, and several variations of [[Paul Aster]]'s Land - before the name "Paulastra" was chosen. Paulastra had been used commonly in a romantic sense to refer to much of southern Crona, and it is one of the many names tracing its root back to Paul Aster. | As the civil war approached its conclusion, leaders of the Provisional Republic of the Songun met in Farpoint in January 1823 to discuss the formation of a new constitution and permanent government for the new nation.

====Finding a King==== | |||
With the Constitution established in 1823 and taking effect on 1 December 1823, the Kingdom of Paulastra was officially under a regency until such time as a King could be found. Several candidates were considered, mostly nobles of [[Dericania]] or prominent [[Kiravia|Kiravians]], but ultimately it was decided that a [[Urcea|Urcean]] noble would best suit the new Kingdom due to the heritage Paulastra shared with Urcea. Accordingly, in 1824, King Niall V sent his chief advisor and cousin Corio [[House de Weluta|de Weluta]] to Paulastra to assume the throne, which the regent and supreme minister formally offered him on 2 Feburary 1824. Corio de Weluta, now 48, had a long and distinguished career in service to the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]]. He earned military fame in the [[Second Caroline War]], being one of the few successful [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] generals of the conflict, and would go on to serve King Niall V as [[Procurator]] and in other roles from [[1810]] until his arrival in Paulastra. In that role, he helped Niall draft the [[Great Bull of 1811]], a charter of civil rights that Paulastrans sought to emulate within their own country. Well liked and respected in both [[Levantia]] and abroad, Corio was welcomed with enthusiasm to Paulastra. Attempting to bridge the divide between Levantine and [[Coscivian]] cultural backgrounds, Corio assumed the Coscivian regnal name King Arathvesur I of Paulastra upon his coronation as King on 18 February 1824. It would inaugurate a period of rule by [[House de Weluta]] in Paulastra which would last for three monarchs. | |||
