In Yardistan in order to give his most active citizen a reward for his activity, Gryphon created the Barony of Amity and Mirioth for Greg Russell. The Barony was Yardistan's first. It also absorbed the former Duchy of Straylight, making it into a barony as well. Mirioth, Amity and So-Sara is currently a county in the Holy Lands of Shireroth, a barony in the Duchy of Yardistan.
(Straylight has since been re-established as a Duchy.)
The isles of Mirioth, Amity, and So-Sara are a tropical gothic paradise and the brainchild of Greg Russell. The islands are home to JASO, the main Cedrist Temple, and the Children of Mors. They are currently part of the Duchy of Naudia'Diva as part of the Barony of the Holy Lands of Shireroth with Yardistan and Naudia'Diva.
Amity has been home to technological advancement in micronations since the foundation of JASO. Notable events in its history include the Amity Crisis, when the Flying Islands of Jasonia and Shireroth nearly got into a war.
Amity also has had the unfortunate luck of being somewhere where the Babkhans like to direct their aggression, one such instance featured a convoluted plot whereby Ardashir Khan stole a flying island and unleashed chemical weapons on the island as punishment for Greg Russell's opposition to his conduct in Elwynn.
Mirioth has been home to first the B0O0/\/\ist faith, and then the Cedrist religion. It was also the religious center within Yardistan (and indeed, all of Shireroth) for quite a great deal of time. Currently, it holds the enigmatic and creepy Children of Mors.

Contents
Origins and Etymology
Amity's geography actually pre-dates the MCS and goes back to the Golden Age of Jasonia and before. It was first created by Erik Metzler as the site of the Jasonian space program, JASO. Later, Jasonia and Shireroth came to the brink of war over it. Although it was not on the very earliest MCS maps, it was added by Series 1 south of Shireroth, which by this time had already firmly established its control. Rumors that Amity Island was named after Amity Island from Jaws appear to be unfounded.
Geography
Amity is covered in jungle. Its capital is Erudition. There was once a zoomed map of Amity, but it appears to be lost.
History
Amity has always been Shirerithian, at least during the era of the MCS. It was the center of the Jasonian (and later Shirerithian) aerospace industries and had several launch pads and testing facilities on it. Politically, it is part of the Duchy of Yardistan in Shireroth, and its traditional count was Greg Russell.
Mirioth is an island in the Yardistani Archipelago
Origins and Etymology
Mirioth was a project of Erik Metzler's, beginning probably as early as mid-2000. During some periods, it had its own forum, although it was never an independent country. When the MCS created its Series One maps, Mirioth was added as an island near Amity.
Geography
Mirioth enjoys a climate similar to that of Hawaii, with a central jungle and beautiful beaches. It has many mountains and an odd coastline dotted with complex bays.
History
Mirioth has been Shirerithian from the beginning of time until the present day. It is considered the Holy Land for BO0O/\/\ists/Cedrists, and Shireroth's main BO0O/\/\ist temple is located there. Mirioth has always been part of the Duchy of Yardistan, and is now a major part of the Barony of the Holy Lands of Shireroth.
