Iconia is a settlement located on Omri Island, Lioda, in the Sirius System. It is a member settlement of Radiance and is led by its founder, Archillelas.
The settlement was originally founded as Zenithar before later adopting the name Iconia, a name chosen to better reflect the settlement's roots and identity.
History
Founding
Iconia was founded on 14 May 2024 by Archillelas, a settler from New Baker Street. After leaving New Baker Street, Archillelas set out in search of a new frontier and eventually discovered Omri Island on Lioda. The island became the site of a new settlement, originally established under the name Zenithar.
Shadow and Radiance
At the time of its early development, Zenithar was part of the nation of Shadow. Following the Radiant Revolution on 3 July 2024, Shadow was succeeded by Radiance, and every active settlement of Shadow joined the newly formed nation. Zenithar joined Radiance during this transition and has remained a member settlement of Radiance since.
Renaming to Iconia
Zenithar was later renamed Iconia to better represent the settlement's cultural roots and evolving identity. The new name marked a shift from its founding period toward a more distinct civic identity within Radiance.
Government
Iconia operates under a charter-bound civic government designed to coordinate its citizens, institutions, and resources toward common goals. Authority defines responsibility within the government, while all citizens and officials remain equal before the Charter.
The Archon serves as Iconia's head of state and highest executive authority. The Archon appoints senior officials, grants final assent to legislation, represents the settlement, and oversees the continuity of its government.
The Council of Concord is Iconia's legislative and deliberative body. Its councillors debate and vote on laws, budgets, public policy, public works, and the creation of government institutions.
The Chancellor presides over the Council of Concord and presents its decisions to the Archon for final assent. The Chancellor also serves as the Archon's deputy and coordinates work between the Council and the executive administration.
Directorates
The executive administration is divided into specialized Directorates. Each Directorate is led by a Director responsible for organizing its operations and carrying out the laws, policies, and projects assigned to it.
Iconia's Directorates include:
- Directorate of Commerce – trade, markets, and economic allocation.
- Directorate of Civic Works – construction, urban planning, infrastructure, and transit.
- Directorate of Resources – mining, public stores, resource management, and logistics.
- Directorate of Engineering – scientific activity, multiblocks, and electricity.
- Directorate of Public Order – public safety, mediation, recruitment, and internal administration.
Directors are supported by Civic Officers, who perform administrative, supervisory, and specialist duties within their respective Directorates. Citizens may additionally serve in professional roles such as builders, miners, traders, and engineers.
This structure provides Iconia with a clear chain of responsibility. Directors establish objectives within their fields, officers organize and supervise their execution, and citizens contribute through their chosen professions. This allows the settlement to direct its workforce efficiently toward shared projects and long-term civic goals.
