== History of the Empire of Polynesia ==
=== Origins ===
Many speculate the empire originally started when Fatass joined on the 30th of January 2022 and immediately claimed the throne as emperor. Fatass started his party, known as the Imperialist Party along with Penguin. At first he did not gain much support however as time went by, many saw him as the legitimate ruler and he gained mass popularity. Despite this he still gained criticism from parties such as the PLO and the NPP.
=== Rise ===
When Fatass would come online, he would often be attacked by players such as Jordin and Tom, who did not see him as a leader. However, Fatass survived all injuries and is one of the few players known who did not die from fights. After the 41st elections, Fatass ran with the Imperialist Party and gained one seat, and a position in the Government given to him by the PCP. He began mass advertising his party and many supporting him, many even chanting "LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!" regularly. 
=== Short-lived revolution ===
On the 8th of February, Fatass and Penguin stormed the capital and the Parliament building, which they referred to as the Imperial Palace. Fatass announced that he would visit every major city in Polynesia as well as indigenous peoples who "were neglected by the Government". 
He immediately gained wide-spread support all over Polynesia and no one bothered to stop him. After both requested, Jeffrey and Tom gained authority over their respective regions (Lexon and Castleburgh), Jeffrey was knighted Baron and Tom was knighted Duke. However they saw this as the moment to betray the emperor, as Tom attempted to make Castleburgh independent with him as king and Jeffrey used his new powers to "re-establish the Republic". Tom tried assassinating the emperor whilst they were both in Wicklow but he managed to escape. After the emperor refused Tom the annexation of Nashi by Castleburgh, Tom did not listen and claimed Nashi region was now part of Castleburgh. Tom created his own government, which was not actually recognised by anyone except himself. Jordin tried making an "advisory government" for the emperor but that also was not recognised by anyone. 
Sealand announced the republic still existed and Fatass was not an emperor, however later did write about how Fatass was not the bad guy, but everyone else involved was. 
=== Abdication and exile ===
Fatass, now betrayed by most who had previously supported him, wrote a final announcement on the 9th of February, announcing his abdication and abolishment of the empire."Today I (...) return my throne and crown to you. My reign has been very peaceful, however I was not satisfied with my empire. It had a lot of opposition from many citizens and that is the opposite of what I intended"In his announcement he also announced that he will be exiling himself to Kmeanoavei (in the north-east of Polynesia) where he will live the rest of his days with the natives. Kmeanoavei would also become the centre of the Penguinist religion.

== Legacy ==
Some theorise Fatass' rise to power was meant as a metaphor for the politics of Polynesia. They argue that Fatass' policies resemble many parties' policies such as being power-hungry, yet less subtle. He also mimicked them with words such as 'cope' and (sometimes subtly) called them out for insulting and banning those who opposed them. 
Fatass caused a red stain on Polynesia as many now showed their real intentions and how they are supposedly power-hunry.
