Athimriss is a semi-federated parliamentary monarchy, though the legislature holds little real power. Athimriss is one of the oldest continually-existing states, dating back to the Kingdom of Uthri, founded nearly 3000 years ago. Beginning about 500 years ago, Athimriss began expanding overseas and placing smaller island nations under its control. Control was often difficult maintain, and currently only Zeu-Luma and a few smaller islands remain under its control.
