Audentior Independent Nation
From ShireWiki
The nation whose first incarnation essentially founded the Apollo Sector, and arguably an ancestor of Shireroth. While Audentior has had several incarnations, the one of most interest to Shirithian history was middle Audentior. This incarnation was a merger, containing among other nations the Republic of Shireroth. It fell apart due to government inefficiency, voting fraud and infighting.
Of the currently active Shirithian citizens, Ari Rahikkala and Scott Alexander hail originally from the first incarnation of Audentior.
