The Flag of the Federal Republic of Demacia
Federal Republic of Demacia , formerly known as the Kingdom of Demacia was a nationstate on the western part of Valoran continent and one of the three nations in Runeterra of the Sizzx'ixi Universe. A strong, lawful kingdom with a prestigious military history, Demacia's people have always valued the ideals of justice, honor, and duty most highly, and are fiercely proud of their cultural heritage. But in spite of these lofty principles, this largely self-sufficient nation has grown more insular and isolationist in recent centuries.
The capital, the Great City of Demacia, was founded as a refuge from sorcery after the nightmare of the Rune Wars, and built upon the riddle of petricite—a peculiar white stone that dampens magical energy. It is from here that the royal family has long seen to the defense of the outlying towns and villages, farmland, forests, and mountains rich with mineral resources.
However, following the sudden death of 7 King Jarvan III, the other noble families have not yet approved the succession of his sole heir, young Prince Jarvan, to the throne. Those who dwell beyond the heavily guarded borders are increasingly viewed with suspicion, and many former allies have begun to look elsewhere for protection, in these uncertain times. Some dare to whisper that the golden age of Demacia has passed, and unless its people are willing to adapt to a changing world—something many believe they are simply incapable of doing—the kingdom's decline may be inevitable.
And all the petricite in the land will not protect Demacia from itself.
When the Runeterra was pulled into the Multiverse War in 997 (1675 NE), kingdom of Demaacia became a member of the Alliance of Nations, renaming itself as the Federal Republic of Demacia. It commonly fought Noxus, Ionia, Kreisau Circle, who joined forces with both the Axis of Empires and the Coalition of Independent States during the war.
History[]
Culture[]
The people of Demacia are driven by their common cause to disseminate benevolence and order for the betterment of all beings throughout Valoran. They view malice and selfishness as a disease which should be expunged from the psyche of humankind. Despite the country's noble beginnings the ideals of Demacia has twisted over the centuries, they're still driven by a common cause to disseminate benevolence and order for the betterment of their country. While priding themselves as the moral vanguards of Valoran, with their strength, courage and unity. But have adopted seemingly draconian measures to ensure that their moral code remains the only code by which one may live and prosper within the kingdom. Those who come to Demacia and choose to settle within the borders of the city-state are expected to share the ideals and virtues of its citizenry. Those who seek personal gain at the expense of others quickly find themselves ostracized… or worse.
Crime in any form is harshly punished: there are no misdemeanors within Demacia. Some detractors of Demacia (who criticize far from the reaches of the nation) claim this as proof of its inherent hypocrisy. Demacians counter this argument by pointing out that their justice system incorporates benevolence and mitigation into its verdicts. No one is punished without fair and just consideration of the circumstances involved. While others may continue to criticize the harshness of Demacian law, the Demacians stand by their convictions.
Demacian Trepidation[]
Magic is particularly rare in Demacia and in the wake of how the country was formed, its people have been raised on folk tales about dark mages and powerful magic that had almost destroyed the world. Naturally, they have become suspicious of its power in all forms. Where this fear in destructive magic has even extended to distrust in foreign people, which has flourished an insular nation that refuses to be inclusive with the rest of the world. The Laws of Stone dictate that any citizen or foreigner accepted inside the walls of Demacia if a mage is not allowed to use their magical abilities.
The nation hidden an ever-growing mage population by removing magical individuals from public society. Those discovered with the "affliction of magic" were either expelled from Demacia, turned to the Kingdom's Mageseekers, or the Illuminators, secret orders tasked with guarding Demacia of magic. The unfortunate ones such as rebel mages were placed in secured Petricite prisons specially designed to nullify magical abilities of its prisoners. Some mages were able to break out from prison after realizing Petricites true capabilities such as Sylas, the Unshackled. These rebels started a Mage Revolution to topple the tyrannical anti-mage government. Due to stricter actions against even the least magically gifted, many families and communities have also risen up against the nations archaic laws and regulations.
When the Alliance of Nations came to their world, many magic users sought to seek sanctuary within their worlds and gained support for their protection, by then when the kingdom was reformed into a Federal Republic, all anti-magic laws were outlawed for their growing need of survival against powerful foes with advance technologies and magic beyond Runeterra.
Government[]
Demacia was run by a constitutional monarchy (Democratic Monarchism), wherein the King of Demacia serves as the head of state and an elected council serves as the legislative body. While the king is a strong ruler, he is kept in check at least partially by the Demacian Council. The last King of Demacia, Jarvan III (a.k.a. Jarvan Lightshield the Third), works earnestly with the Demacian Council to ensure that the sanctity of the city-state remains pure and true. Since the rule of Jarvan I, there has never been an attempted coup or rebellion of any kind in Demacia. The king serves not only as the political leader of the nation-state, but also as the commander-in-chief of its military.
Following the Battle of Runeterra, the Demacian Council thought it be best to disband the monarchy and it's houses and establish a system of government similar to the United States. Although not all within the Noble Houses agreed with the formation of the Federal Republic, most begrudgingly agreed. After the reorganization from a Constitutional Monarchy to a Federal Republic, the Demacian Council was reorganized into the Demacian Parliament, the position that was once held by the King was replaced by the Office of Presidency and a new branch of government was created, the Demacian Grand Courts, this, in a way, helped to gain a new sense of identity and stability for the newly created Federal Republic.

Former Noble Houses[]
When it was monarchy, Demacia is governed by various royal families, regulating the city-state primarily as members of the Demacian Council. While many of the Noble Houses have ruled for generations, they are treated as any other citizen under the nation’s strict laws and are not exempt from them. They may even be treated more harshly under the law as they are meant to serve as shining examples of how Demacian citizens should conduct themselves, publicly and privately.

Military[]
The Demacian military is one of the strongest in all of Valoran, commonly known as the Demacian Army, are formed by the Air Force, the Navy and the Army, the second of which contains its own Marine Corps. The main branches of the military deviate from traditional standards by adopting a "Defense Force" title, employed after the 1996 treaty with the Alliance of Nations and retained into the 21st century. However, such name is often ignored in most situations, as each branch is regularly referred to by their original name by other nations, the media and the public Noxus has been the sworn enemy of Demacia since both settlements were founded hundreds of years ago. Their conflict is, at its core, a moral one. With such a night-and-day division of moral philosophy between Demacia and Noxus, it is not hard to see why Demacia views its military requirements as a vital necessity for survival. Every Demacian citizen is required to serve in its military for no less than three years. Even after this time, most Demacians remain on active status in the city-state’s military reserve.
The resolve of Demacia's military is alternately celebrated or despised, but always respected. Their "zero tolerance" moral code is strictly upheld by civilians and soldiers alike. In combat, this means Demacian troops may not make excuses, flee, or surrender by example. Thousands of great heroes have risen and fallen on the bloody battlefields between the Allies, Axis and the Coalition.
Equipment and Arsenal[]
As the rise of their power grew in the early years of its creation, Demacia's military expanded in terms of weaponry and equipment which made them formidable for the once dominant Allied military. Their arsenal of weaponry came from weapon manufacturers from Allied members. Demacian troops look like a well uniformed streamline opponent to the beleaguered allied forces wearing combat shirts and combat pants in different camouflage patterns (either in urban, woodland, snow colored, navy, and all-black camouflage). All Allied soldiers also are equipped with the most state of the art military-grade protective plate carriers and Kevlar helmets (many with ballistic face shields attached to rail adapters on the sides of the helmets). Some Demacian soldiers wear red berets instead, most likely to signify NCOs and senior leadership.
