Perseid Regime

After EuroWar 2, under warlord Taphius Perseides, the first of the established postnational regimes in former Greek territory (compare: Leonids, Heraclids, Draconids, Theseids, Delpheids, Telemachids, Orpheids, Athosians, Nestorians/Pylons). Using the child armies deployed to the front in the Ionian Sea, Taphius siezed many Ionian islands, establishing a capital on Lesvos, and a mainland foothold in Argolis, in late 2037.

Like most Greek postnational regimes, the Perseids are a mixture of anarchic kleptocracy and totalitarian fascist, with an absolute dictator (currently Electryon III, the 14th ruler since Taphius' death in 2044). Some of the interregnal states during military coups have sought and achieved a degree of UN recognition, starting in 2046; however that recognition has never lasted longer than 18 months before revocation (a record unsurpassed by any except the Theseid and Athosian regimes).

The Perseids claim spiritual succession from the Greek hero Perseus, and various spirits bound by the regime have made statements confirming the divine justice of this succession.
