The Authority

Due to the original Wiki page being removed on behalf of certain individuals, we have decided to re-upload it. That does not mean that all information will be uploaded, as plenty of it is lost. For a visual and unbiased documentary, please refer to this video: https://www.bitchute.com/video/LXThccRKWfrQ/.
== Introduction: The Backstory ==
The Authority can date its original foundation back to Vzech (and previous groups considered Cryzecian). After Vzech, the group became Tau Neutrino before settling on the Authority name. 
Although Vzech did not have a major political affiliation, the nation began flirting with Fascism during the Tau Neutrino period. It is believed that during this early era the faction was still active on Garry's Mod.
== The Authority ==
=== Initial History ===
The Authority was born on July 13th, 2018. During this era, the nation went through three major ideological changes, these being: i) National Populism, an alternative to National Socialism created by Oongi (Crysis) himself, ii) Technocratic Nationalism, a moderate form of Fascism with technocratic elements, and lastly iii) National Socialism, due to a good portion of its membership supporting that ideology. 
Although the Authority had plans on entering Garry's Mod like the previous Cryzecian groups, the campaign fell apart quickly with Oongi (Crysis) shifting his focus from Gmod to Discord and the game "Kerbal Space Program" alongside with co-leader March. Despite not participating in Gmod battles or tech creation, the Authority held active diplomacy with Meta factions, enemies or allies. Additionally, Cryzecian ethnic state of The Germanic Reich, although initially had plans on entering Garry's Mod itself, became a state within the Authority. Der Wolf went on to create the Holy Germanic Union as a way to continue running groups, after the integration of TGR into TA. 
=== Wilhelmic Wars ===
The Wilhelmic Wars were a series of attacks conducted by the allied and joint militaries of the Authority and the Greater German Empire, against the individual Wilhelm Keitel (aka Brandon Baker, "Adolf Hitler", and more). The reason behind the wars was the extreme levels of degeneracy and wrongdoings this person and his groups had, as well as intense LARPing on his side. Upon repeated victories against his servers, he surrendered and handed over a server of his to the joint TA-GGE occupational forces. This server was named as the "Germanic State of Amin", with Amin coming from a mispelling of "Admin" by Keitel.
=== Mid-2019 and onwards ===
Early and mid 2019 were the most peaked periods for the Authority, with plenty of political, military and diplomatic activity in Discord. The server was reorganised politically and reached a point of political 'harmony'. However, on 30/6/2019, leader Oongi mentioned he was feeling the need to step down as leader, and therefore a poll took place on a proposed merge of the Authority into their allied server, the Greater German Empire. The poll was ultimately cancelled due to backlash. 
There is additional documentation about a certain attack against the Authority, by forces of "Wilhelm and Koda" which destroyed "Volkhaven". Leader Oongi decided to declare total war against those two forces, mentioning that "the war will finally settle the fate of the Authority". There are no other mentions of Koda or Volkhaven, nor much activity documented after this.
=== Downfall and collapse ===
With the community reaching its lowest points, Oongi announced his resignation as Führer on 10th of August 2019, and officially resigned on the next day. Although still stayed around, his activity was getting lower.
Unfortunately history is not well-documented after this point, but it is known that the next appointed leaders were High Brow, Der Kampf and lastly Apollon. These individuals introduced a few reforms and fixed some errors in the Discord server, although their time as leaders was not sufficient enough for them to enact major changes. Last leader Apollon ran the Authority as a closely associated ally of the Greater German Empire, but did not seek further integration of the two groups. The Authority fell apart and disbanded later on, with the server being banned and people losing most contacts.
== Controversial allegations ==
After the Authority was disbanded, former founder Oongi (Crysis) proceeded to go into hiding and avoided all contact with former Authority members. According to him, this happened due to certain factors that harmed him during his leadership in the Authority; he was allegedly forced to adopt the Fascist ideology by other high command members, and was also threatened by fellow admins, mostly longtime ones. 
To this day, it remains unclear if all statements are true or not. Even though it is certain that Crysis was in fact negatively affected, most evidence leads to the conclusion that he was still in partial control of the group. According to former co-leader Der Wolf, who was a friend of his, Oongi was interested in Fascism and wanted to learn more about it. Other speculations include Crysis feeling the lack of freedom to enact changes on his own, due to the community being Fascist-oriented, and eventually growing tired of his role as leader. Certain former TA admins attempted doxxing him only after he resigned and went into hiding. 
It is worth noting that Crysis's account was not banned along with the server of the Authority, but instead deleted his account on his own will, a few days after TA's fall.
== Post-Disbandment ==
After the disbandment of the Authority, most former commanders lost contact with each other for plenty of years. None of them pursued further activity in Garry's Mod, except for Crysis who created the Second Cryzecian Republic, as well as the Valkyrian Ascendancy in 2020 and onward. Unfortunately, due to his feelings about the former community, Crysis deleted most of The Authority's history and mistakenly dubbed the regime as the "Reign of Terror". As part of this, his new Valkyrian faction prohibited the publishing of any historical archives from the Authority era and censored all mentions of it. The later Valksdeutsche faction even went as far as destroying all remaining archives.
It wasn't until 2021 that the Authority's legacy would be brought back, with the creation of the Cryzecian Authority. Certain historical archives were restored by Der Kampf, Der Wolf, Apollon and Heinrich Kling. The Cryzecian Authority had established its presence on Garry's Mod during June and was a faction in the meta until November 2022. The group was not based on the political ideologies of the previous Authority, but still maintained all available historical archives and published them without bias. 
== Conclusion ==
Some call the Authority a very controversial group, but to most people concerned, the Authority bears a strong legacy, with the Cryzecians having a history of over six years. It is only fair that such history should be documented, so it will not go through another purge and be lost.
