Nym was of course wiped out by a plague, and Sharlayan was abandoned. Only Garlemald continues to develop as a unified force.

Note that only the colony Sharlayan created in Eorzea (which, confusingly, is called Sharlayan) is abandoned. The city-state of Sharlayan continues to exist on its isolated island. It doesn't help that some of the Scions were born in the colony, others were born in the homeland, and still others were born on the island and trained in the colony. It can all be quite confusing. Huh

Nym fell in the War of the Magi in the Fifth Astral Era. The other Fifth Astral Era civilizations were Amdapor (users of White Magic; destroyed by the Great Flood with ruins sealed by the elementals until the Calamity) and Mhach (users of Black Magic; destroyed, likely by the Great Flood, and begat Belah'dia, which begat Sil'dih and Ul'dah).

Currently, the great researchers of magic are the four guilds in the city-states and Sharlayan. Garlemald uses magitek, not magic, as Unnamed Mercenary pointed out.
