He would briefly yield loyalty to Dazhodare Sonderdar, before he was removed from government and his nation de-vassalized.

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Civus Von Drohnus was born in the winter of 4 VE in the city of Helvaena, a city in the Vladist Republic Of Vladistan. He was the second of three children born to Udorik Von Drohnus. When Civus was only two, he would move to the city of Astrapol in Dazhodare Sonderdar where his father had established himself and his family, the house of Drohnus as a major political force. He would grow up observing the political maneuvering of his father, witnessing the tactics his father used to maintain their family’s prominence, which he would later adapt into his leadership in Merkonis. 
=== Chancellor of Sonderia ===
Civus Von Drohnus’s early life took a dramatic turn when his father, Udorik Von Drohnus, appointed him as Vice Chancellor of Sonderia. This appointment placed Civus in the center of a burgeoning parliamentary crisis, as the creation of the position and parliament was seen as undemocratic and corrupt from the then ruling noble houses. resistance within Sonderia’s government began to challenge Udorik’s authority, resulting in his overthrow and death, abruptly elevating Civus to the role of Chancellor at only 17 years old. However, his tenure was short-lived; as annual elections would be held only two years later, which he did not run for. There was a call by many Sonderians to fully remove him from the position of Chancellor and execute him alongside his father. However, the king of Sonderia, Warbrand, refused to accept any requests, allowing him to stay as chancellor and as a citizen of Sonderia, saving his life. Civil would positively speak on Warbrand and his leadership up until his death out of respect for him. 
Following his term as chancellor he would be subsequently exiled to the rural city of Triposlovia in southeastern Sonderia. This exile marked a significant shift in his life, isolating him from the power and influence of Sonderia’s central government and setting the stage for future events in his career, while inheriting over $1,200,000 from his father, as well as his company, rainbow bull, which he would continue to run to his death.
=== Adult life and refounding of Merkonis ===
After his move to Triposlovia, he would be elected as a member Parliament and served two terms as a representative for Triposlovia During his tenure, he was offered a parcel of land in eastern Kongrego for sale, which he accepted, purchasing a small peninsula and founding the settlement of Oblitus Oris. After re-establishing Oblitus Oris, Civus Von Drohnus organized a provisional government that he led for two years. During this period, he laid the groundwork for a new national structure, eventually reconstituting Merkonis's government with himself as its first Kanzler on Abexilas Shortly thereafter, Civus expanded his control into Kongrego after discovering squatters in the town of Phenomius, who eventually aligned with Merkonis, granting him dominion over the rest of Kongrego. It was around this time he would also marry and have his two children. 
=== Kanzler of Merkonis and eventual death ===
In his later years, Civus Von Drohnus expanded Merkonis's international relations, particularly fostering diplomatic ties with the Tiberian leauge, as well as offically converting to Gonfism alonside much of his government. He would lead the nation during it's devassalization from Sonderia, granting the nation full independence following consistent political turmoil with Astrapol. Civus's leadership ended abruptly when he accidentally consumed a poisonous potato, resulting in his death in Oblitus Oris. Following his death, Henrich Weiss succeeded him as Kanzler of Merkonis.
