Jovian Imperial Union

The Jovian Imperial Union (JIU), commonly known as Jovia, is a nation located in the south-west of human occupied space.

History
The hyper-fascist Blackstar Confederation started to expand in the 2170s, being almost entirely dominant by the turn of the century. However, an ever-increasing resistance effort slowly begins to dismantle the nation. By the signing of the Procyon Ceasefire in 2219, around 70% of the nation's military refused to fight (many being conscripts or sympathetic to the rebellion). The remaining loyal forces pulled back to the core systems, only venturing outwards to attempt to put down further resistance efforts, such as the Republic of Hafaristan in 2286 and the United Yvatsche States in 2309. The nation was officially reformed on the 19th of January 2348 following a military coup, with the signing of the new constitution. The royal family was allowed to remain, mostly for political and ceremonial purposes.
