During Melevor the Younger's coronation as Melevor II, he not only was crowned King of Kings of the [[Solaris]] Faith, but also as Solar Emperor of the newly established Solar Pyrrhian Empire, which would replace the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]]. The new Empire was established as a theocratic absolute monarchy, with Melevor II as the absolute monarch and religious leader of [[Solaris]]. The proclamation of Empire additionally established and renamed institutions, the state currency, anthem, the new flag of the Empire and abolished all National Collectivist directives and laws.
The name of [[Melevorgrad]] was entirely forgotten, and referred only as "Solar Pyrrhus" in the proclamation, indicating the position of the new state that the name Melevorgrad would entirely be forgotten and never recognised as the official name of the capital. Various individuals attended the coronation of Melevor II, such as [[Leuvis George Krieger]], [[Arctan1]], [[Zephyrus]], [[Izzy Blu]], [[Drakkalon Metellus]], Theil Ritter, Grimurian and Arthur Carrig among others.
=== The Unification of Arith and Arith Crisis ===
[[File:Unification.png|thumb|The creation of the Solar Empire of Arith as depicted by an artist]]
In the days following the ascendancy of Melevor II and the creation of the Solar Empire of Pyrrhia, Senator Tartarus of the F.C.A. approached Imperial representatives conveying a plot including himself and other town leaders within the F.C.A. which wished to overthrow the Senate of the country and establish a monarchy. After a conference including these leaders the decision was made to create a new nation administratively split in half. In the West would be the Western Realm, including Pyrrhia, Invictus and most of the territories West of the centre of the continent ruled by the head of the new Empire, Solar Emperor Melevor. in the East would be the Eastern Realm including Romanus Silva, Silvan Capital, Holy Land and Sun Harvest (despite the latter being geographically in the far West) ruled by Tartarus as the King of Silva. The Empire was officially established on March 23rd in Solar Pyrrhus, the new Imperial Capital.
The subsequent overthrow of the government of the F.C.A. received wide international condemnation as many of the historically pro-F.C.A. cities in the East such as Redwood, Hightide and Uhovia seceded from the newly formed Empire and began planning retaking the East through military campaign, which would begin three days after the formation of the Empire on March 26th. From the time between the beginning of the Arith Crisis and the establishment of the Empire, Imperial officials, particularly Tartarus himself, sought peaceful recompense with the newly reformed F.C.A. in the East, all of which were failed negotiations.
The Crisis began on March 26th with the declaration of war on the Empire by the new F.C.A, and a subsequent response from Solar Emperor Melevor denouncing the F.C.A. as aggressive and unwilling to take peaceful options into consideration. Following this both the nations of the League (many of which were former F.C.A. citizens), and Ashina declared war on the Empire. The Crisis was short lasting, ending on March 29th after successful negotiations between F.C.A. Chancellor Cody and Solar Emperor Melevor at Arith Market following the death of Tartarus. The Treaty of Arith (to be signed) saw the relinquishing of all Solarian territories East of the Arith Market, the establishment of an International zone around the market and clearly defined spheres of influence.
The Crisis has left the young Empire extremely disdainful of much of the world, both those who participated in aggression against it and those who supported this aggression, and it has subsequently entered a period of "splendid isolation" to work on rebuilding settlements, integrating it's new territories and growing economic power.

Line 117 ⟶ 124:
=== Government ===
The government of the Empire is headed by the Archchancellor, appointed by the Emperor. The government consists of Ministers and their respective ministries and staff. The government consists only of two Imperial Ministries as of March 23rd 2022, those being the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Relations, and the Imperial Ministry of Labour. Policing activities are enforced through the Solar Inquisition, which is handled through the Solar Ecclesiarchy, and Army activities are enforced through the Exercitus Solaris, the official Imperial Army, and so respective ministries for these are not required.
==== Imperial Estate ====
The Imperial Estate is the current sole legislative body of the Empire and comprises both local and regional nobility, alongside higher members of the clergy such as the Proper Priesthood and the Ecclesiarchs. The Imperial Estate was created and assembled on the order of the Solar Emperor Melevor II, advised by the Archchancellor [[Drakkalon Metellus]], to give voice for the rising nobility and clergy of the new Empire. On a local and regional level, Dukes have control over their Counts and Barons, though in the Imperial Estate each lord of a settlement, despite town size gets an equal say in the affairs of the Diet. The Consortium Solaris are also able to attend meetings of the Imperial Estate, alongside the Solar Emperor, though the appearance of the Emperor in the Estate chambers is not common, only appearing when he has direct input, or is making a speech in front of the nobles and clergy of the Realm.
== Foreign Relations ==
The Empire inherits much of the foreign relations of the Solar Pyrrhian Empire, which following it's reformation away from the [[Union of Collectivist Council Republics]] received widespread support and increased diplomatic levels, which it has established with many powers. Following the Arith Crisis the Empire has entered into a period of "splendid isolation", with growing anger and dislike towards foreign powers which assisted in it's defeat during the Crisis.
=== Arith ===
The Empire's most strenuous relationship in the world is with the [[Free Cities of Alathra]], which it shares half the continent of Arith with. Following the Arith Crisis in which the Solar Empire was defeated at the joint hands of the F.C.A. and the League, the Empire has agreed to maintain only minimal diplomatic communication with the F.C.A, refusing F.C.A. diplomats to enter Solar Pyrrhus, not establishing direct communication and only meeting within the Arith International Zone. Despite this, the Empire and the F.C.A. maintain cordial relations and co-operate at times to ensure the safety and security of the continent of Arith and to uphold the Treaty of Arith, particularly around spheres of influence.
Through the rest of the continent of Arith the Empire retains good relations with [[Mirenirenic]] and [[Mud Town]], the latter of which is very close both to the Ceiltean Crownlands of the Empire and is diplomatically close to the Empire.
=== Gaushan ===
The Empire maintains good relations with two powers on Gaushan, primarily the Legion, which is fellow practitioner of the [[Solaris|Solarian]] Faith.
Following the establishment of Solar Empire words of well wishes were sent from the new [[Elyria|Elyrian]] capital of Ehrenhal to Solar Pyrrhus, and were reciprocated. In a following meeting between Solar Emperor Melevor and King Aldrich a non-aggression pact and a general establishment of good relations and friendship was agreed upon by both Elyria and Solaris. Through the Arith Crisis and beyond it the two powers have retained good relations with a planned increase in them from the Solarian side, with the creation of an embassy in Ehrehal.
The Legion (formerly Eldia) is another state on Gaushan which retains good relations with the Empire both prior to and following the Arith Crisis, through which Eldia provided recognition of the Empire and supported it's cause against the F.C.A. Following the Crisis Eldia was reformed along the lines of Solarian doctrine and began it's path as the Legion. The Empire views the Legion as it's most important ally and as the gateway for spreading Solarian Faith internationally, rather than being confined to Arith.
The Empire has poor opinions and relations with two other powers on Gaushan, those being Stahlfaust and the League. While the Empire maintains communications with the League, it is viewed as the cause of the loss of the Arith Crisis and has subsequently been viewed poorly both by Imperial representatives and the general Solarian public. On the other hand the Empire does not maintain communications with Stahlfaust, which originally praised the foundation of the new Solar Pyrrhian Empire, but subsequently embargoed the Solar Empire of Arith and supported the cause of the F.C.A. during the Arith Crisis. Such actions have been viewed by the Imperial Government with extreme suspicion and consideration of the Stahlfaustian foreign policy as conducted by opportunists.
=== Prospit ===
The Empire has few connections to Prospit, though has established communication and conveyed admiration and support for the Archduchy of [[Nixium]], planning to establish an embassy within the nation in the near future.
=== Moria ===
Despite it's opinions towards Ashina, the Empire maintains good relations widely with Ashinan Moria, particularly the city of Irithil in which a Church of Solaris is planned to be constructed and opened. The friendship between the Pyrrhian and Fossorian people dates back to before the First Alathran Great War when relations between the P.C.C.R. and the then hegemonic [[Fossores Republic]] were made and facilitated the establishment of the Alathran Entente. Following the defeat and collapse of both powers after the War, both slowly climbed back out of stagnation and re-established themselves which saw the revival in friendship between them. With the creation of the Solar Empire, Lord Syltumal Gwyn of Iritihil helped plan out the new boundaries of the Imperial and Solar capital of Pyrrhus. Through the Arith Crisis Ashinan Moria stayed it's course of neutrality and friendship with the Empire despite Ashina's declaration of war against it.
=== Ashina ===
The Empire does not maintain communication or good relations with the Ashinan homeland, which following the creation of the Solar Empire condemned it's creation, and subsequently joined the F.C.A's side during the Arith Crisis. In the eyes of Solarians the Ashinan Empire is a force of stagnation and is widely disliked through Solarian society, but most prominently in Ceiltea which has long had sour opinions of the large Empire of the East.
=== Koganon ===
The Empire maintains formal communication with the [[Arcadian Altanate]], and through unofficial channels with the [[Republic Of Lydoneia]].
