Geography

The Heliodoros Republic spans a mountainous and coastal territory in the Balkan Peninsula, with access to the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The land is rich in natural beauty: rugged cliffs, olive groves, ancient ruins, and sunny shores. Major rivers like the Achelous and Alpheios sustain agriculture and small towns.

History

The Heliodoros Republic emerged from a series of revolutionary movements in the late 19th century, aiming to revive the spirit of classical Hellenism blended with modern republican ideals. After periods of foreign occupation and internal strife, the Republic was firmly established in the mid-20th century following the signing of the Nia Amelia Memorandum, which unified various regions into the modern state.

Athens was designated the capital to symbolize continuity with the ancient democratic ideals, while special cities like Amelia City and Niaw City became key centers of culture and industry.

Politics

Heliodoros is governed through a republican system where power is shared between the Consul and the Parliament.

Consul Democritus Marx Lux, an intellectual figure, leads with a focus on civic virtue, rational governance, and social justice.

Elections are held every 6 years, and the country maintains a pluralistic, multiparty democracy.

Economy

The economy is diverse but leans heavily into sectors like tourism, agriculture (notably olives, grapes, and figs), light manufacturing, and emerging green technologies.

The Hellenic Drachma is a stable and respected regional currency, favored for its low inflation and cultural symbolism.

Culture

Heliodoros celebrates a modern Hellenic identity — combining ancient philosophy, Orthodox Christian traditions, and contemporary liberal values.

Cultural life is vibrant in all cities, but especially in Amelia City, known for its universities and arts festivals.

National celebrations include:

Founding Day (April 2) — commemorating the Republic’s establishment.
