Federation of Southern Stars

The Federation of Southern Stars, also known as the Celestial Confederation, was once a federation of nations in the continent of Serrona in Eldham. The federation was founded by the nations of Batu, Vulpinia, and Bai, with the nations of Elduria, Dejuria, and Kaladinia joining later on, and with Nova Azcoria being born from a land exchange between Batu and Azcorian refugees during the time of the Federation. The federation was founded on the 14th of June and would be disbanded on the 9th of July of 2021. 
A new nation of the same name was founded on the 1st of January 2023, see: Federation of the Southern Stars. 
== History ==
=== Founding ===
The Federation of Southern Stars was founded on the 14th of June of 2021, when the nations of Batu, Vulpinia, and Bai signed the Treaty of Lazodi. The three nations would work together in dealing with the Campfire Society, at the time a nation claiming territories of Vulpinia and Bai. 
=== Expansion ===
After a series of tense negotiations, the tensions with the Campfire Society were lowered, and the Federation would accept them as the new nation of Elduria. Kaladinia and Nova Azcoria would also join by the 20th of June, with Dejuria joining on the 21st, bringing the Federation to its highest extent in both landmass and population.
=== Dissolution ===
Issues within the federation related to bureaucratic complexity and a non-responsive administration would lead to nations wishing to be independent once more. Resentment over the way the federation would cause the loss of territories of nations such as Vulpinia would further foment the wishes for independence. On the 9th of July the federation would be disbanded after Batu and Vulpinia would declare their exit, leading to other member nations also leaving the federation.
