New Byzantium

New Byzantium, also known as NB, Byzantium, or the Republic of New Byzantine, is a faction based on the ancient and late Byzantine Empire, a successor to the late Roman Empire. Since Byzantium was mainly Greek in the East, New Byzantium is also a Greek-based faction. Byzantium is meant to have an atmosphere of realism, so it has and will often be called "LARPY". As many members of Byzantium are also members of other clans, Byzantium is not expected to be the most active and serious clan out there, and is expected to be more or less in the background. Byzantium is a continuation of the Orovian Republic (ORR), as ORR has not been officially disbanded. 
==History==
===The Reveal===
New Byzantium was originally founded under the name of the Terran Empire on June 13th, 2021. It was revealed to the meta the following month on July 8th. On the 14th, Terra formed its own separate intelligence service known as the Obsidian Order (OO), which operated under Terra in a partially autonomous way. This meant the removal of Section 32. The OO still exists to this day under NB, and it is to be efficient, secure, organized, and not to mention, well-mannered. Later that day, Terra and C.G.I. formed an official alliance. 
===First Reformation===
On July 15th, 2021, Terra reformed into the Orovian Republic. Later, on July 15th, the first election in Orovian history occurred, although it lasted for only an hour. CatGopher98, the commander of Cat-Gopher Industries (C.G.I.), was elected as the Head of State while General Alexander, leader of the 32nd Engineers Guild, was elected as the Head of Military. Six was ranked as Intendant.
===Six-Gate Controversy===
Main article: Six-Gate Conspiracy
It was speculated and later confirmed that Six of Nine and Mathias were the same people. Many faction leaders were involved in the investigation, and because of the initial distrust for Six, they had him make Orovia and the OO under GMAP administration. Additionally, since CatGopher98 was the elected Head of State for both factions, Six agreed to make them subsidiary factions under Cat-Gopher Industries. Relations between the factions involved in the controversy are now friendly. This deal is no longer in effect due to OR's reformation into NB.
===United Orion Coalition===
Due to the newfound agreements with C.G.I., the United Orion Coalition (UOC) alliance was formed to keep Orovia, OO, and C.G.I.'s communications centralized. The alliance was named that way to spite the United Assault Coalition, which had recently disbanded. UOC itself would later be disbanded,
===Encounter with A.I and IMR===
On July 17th, 2021, Orovia had a run in with the Alpha Imperium (A.I) and The Imperium (IMR) on Friendly Garry's Mod Server. Orovia, with only one man on the server, stayed back and watched as A.I and IMR fought out battles; most of the fighting was verbal. On that day, the Orion Syndicate and the UOC were deleted as they were not needed. Orion Syndicate was made as a joke.
===Superian War===

Orovia would end up joining G6 and getting involved in the Superian War. On July 26th 2021, NB together with many G6 clans battled IMR/USDF on FGC. The battle ended in a victory for G6. On July 27th another battle took place on Super Garry's Mod Server - most of it was Strelok cubing and breaking rules, the battle ended in a G6 victory.
===Merge into A.I===
On July 18th, 2021 Orovia merged fully into the Alpha Imperium.
