Name
The English name Spirevo comes from the nation's national tree, the Cylari Spire, which grows in the heavily wooded areas of the Miroris Mountain range.
It also comes from the Spirevan name, "Enspirei" which means "Plateau State" leading back to the founding of the country on the Cylari Plateau, by the Cylari tribe.
History
On the 12th of June 1507, the Cylari tribe settled down on what is now the Plateau of Cylari, and set up permanent residence in the high mountainous south of what is now modern Spirevo. As the tribe grew, so did the amount of land used, until the borders became and are still now the borders of Spirevo today. After being invaded by the Kalvon Empire in 1801, Spirevo was plunged into a state of plague and despair, with the Pordunamic Plague wiping out more than 6/17 of the population. When it regained independence in 1815, the remaining citizens began to rebuild the dark and desolate land and dedicated time to science and technology, forming the basis of Spirevo's main exports and advances today. Spirevo used to be a monarchy, with its first King, Daltus, ruling the land with care, allowing progress and was loved by many. When his daughter and heir to the throne, Chloe I, inherited the throne, she ruled with an iron fist and split the working class and upper class to two very different lifestyles. The working class were poor and were badly educated, leading to bad living conditions, while the upper class families leaded lives of luxury. Chloe I was overthrown just 3 years after her coronation and the monarchy was demolished.
Geography
Spirevo is diverse in geography. The north is made up of between the Miroris Mountain range and the Cylari Plateau, and the south is full of rolling hills. The center, called the Senzarissat' (Flat land) is where most settlements are. However, the two largest cities, Zinzolin and Sansails are located in the North and South, respectively.

Flora and Fauna
The national tree of the country is the Cylari Spire, which grows in the Miroris Mountain Range. The wood is resistant to burning and extremely durable, as well as being relatively common. The tree is the tallest species on the planet and there are times when they have outgrown skyscrapers. One tree would be enough to supply Spirevo's industrial and commercial needs for 1 month. The highest tree recorded was Old Hushy, which was at 480 ft tall. It was brought down when an earthquake struck the region, and supplied Spirevo with enough wood to last 2 years. Also exclusive to the country is the Azure Butterfly, which is actually a flower. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and sweet smelling flowers in the world, and can live without water or nutrition for 3 months. It is uncommon and a protected species.
The Cylari Eagle is the national bird of the country and is endemic to the heavily forested areas of the Miroris Mountain range. It is an endangered species and as few as 45 are left in the wild. The Zilais Whale is one of the rarest whales in the world, appearing globally but they always dock at the beautiful reefs of the Femenex Coast.
