Novigrad

Novigrad, officially the Novigradian Republic, was a nation in the Cumania Minecraft server. It was one of the most powerful nations that ever existed in Cumania, rivalizing Carthage in the Great Northern War and would later on culminate as the Nilfgaardian Empire.
== History ==
=== Founding ===
The Republic was founded in 241 ACS, by the migrants of old Scotland Americana, Kiel and Danier. It was originally planned to be isolated and neutral in order to survive from Carthaginian expansionism, but it turned out to be totally the opposite, as 2 years after it was sacked and pillaged by the NCCC. This was a critical blow for Americana, and almost dissolved the republic, but insisted later on to continue with it.
=== Consolidation ===
Soon after, the company gave back the stolen items, and the Republic could continue safely. Danier quit and went to Cumania, while many other members joined, such as Newer, Brasilbola and the desertor from Acre, Felipe.
In 248 ACS, a tension between Tangier and Novigrad started at the Kovir Straits and the new nation of New Illinois, in 249, a war broke out, but Prag, the leader of Tangier, cave in to the demands of both nations, ceding most of it northern lands.
In the 250's, the nations of Carthage and Novigrad allied themselves against the Tretarchy of Allah, and soon created the Tyre Accords, which planned a war against the enemy. New Illinois attacked the Tretarchy, and in 2 years, they collapsed without even the whole coalition entering. New Illinois got it part of the deal, and was granted independence, Tangier rejoined Carthage and soon, with help of the Prime Minister, demanded the Moravian Zone to be ceded back to Tangier by Pacc. This enraged Novigrad, as this broked the deal between the nations, and soon created the Kovir Pact, a secret alliance between New Illinois, New Brittany and the Republic.
=== The Great Northern War ===
Carthage would pay for their betrayal with war, and soon, it happened, New Illinois by the order of the Hierarch, invaded the Moravian Florest, Carthage mobilized, and then, Novigrad joins the fight alongside of New Brittany, starting the Great Northern War. It inicial advance was succesfull, Acre was out of the fight and they were starting to plan an invasion of Tangier, but the Empire invaded New Chicago, New Illinois' capital, but were quickly defeated.
A great blow was the Invasion of Novigrad, which the Empire launched a suicidal attack against the main city, conquering the castle but soon being annihilated by the Pact forces, this forced the Hierarch sue for peace.
=== The Northern Winds ===
What followed suit was a rise of status of the republic to Great Power, and soon, after a small internal crisis of it's members, the Northern Winds were in favour of the republic, which conquered Redania and Temeria. In the next year, the Hierarch declared the Nilfgaardian Empire, turning the republic into a monarchy, and the hierarch, an Emperor.
