Florandia

Florandia is a Nation located in western Eldham. Founded by Expedition corp formed by Kyborg, originally heading to Northeast Eldham on the continent of Photos, after the initial disputes with presence of Barbossa pirates Florandian Expedition moved to Western Eldham where it is currently situated.
Florandia is a nation of Florands (local language Florandirer) the culture unfortunately is very small as of repression of the Republic of Redoriv (Successor of Kingdom of Florandia), but even if culture is small it is very vibrant and proud of it’s self as once Florandia was a kingdom of it’s own, but History for it wasn’t very generous and the kingdom all together fell after few decades as of bad decision making of the king leaving a power vacuum for worst. But after the turmoil of Exiles, land’s disputes, assimilation of citizen’s and demonizing Florandia. But even after those event's, there is a new bright path as of recent year’s had shown some mercy on our nation.
Now we hope for the better future for our Fatherland
==Chapter 1. The History of "Old Kingdom"==
===Sakuran Crisis===
The Sakuran Crisis unfolded as a territorial conflict over an island archipelago nestled in the Osterium Sea within Rathnir. The Sakuran insurgency lead by Duscv on the island of Iremithia, it was viewed as a provocative act by the then-dominant Aesperium Neida. The disputed lands belonged to an obscure islander nation, lost to the cannals of time, which was once a vassal of Aesperium Neida, compelling the empire to intervene. The crisis resulted in the fall of Sakura in Rathnir, yet for Florandia, it marked the dawn of a new era.
====Aftermath of the Crisis ====
The collapse of the Sakuran Khanate wrought devastation upon Sakura, creating internal strife as its people were rendered nomads without a homeland. This crisis sparked a rebellion against the Duscv leader, who lacked concrete plans for resettlement and competency needed to do soo. The dissenting faction, known as the "Florandians," emerged as a historical milestone, marking their stance for a better future during this pivotal moment in history of Florandia.
====First Expedition====
Initially, the Florandian expedition began as a band of nomads venturing into the eastern reaches of Rathnir, with standout eras including the Sparwood Squating and Azerfjord Squating after the exile from Nostra Terra. Each squatting era concluded in ultimate exile from the lands, making it a relatively uneventful period. However, as the age of squatting reached its end, it instilled a newfound courage in the Florandian people to unite and embark on the "Second Expedition."
====The Grand Expedition====
The Grand Expedition, a pivotal chapter following the first expedition's final exile from Azerfjord, became the hallmark of Florandian resilience. Venturing into the newly discovered lands of Eldham, the second expedition was driven by an unwavering determination to ensure the survival and prosperity of Florandians at all costs. Their primary objective was to claim uncolonized territories in the Phoros continent, a venture that proved highly successful. As the explorers concluded their journey, they founded the city of "Fort Scarlet Dawn," the fifth settlement in Eldham, marking the inception of a Golden Age for Florandia.
===The Phoros Era===
Following the success of the Grand Expedition, Florandia basked in a newfound prominence, experiencing early stages of the kingdom marked by generosity and prosperity. The flourishing state was evident in various projects and the formal transformation of settlements into thriving cities, most notable of them was the city of New Yoake, Frankenlandt, and the first capital Fort Scarlet Down. Kyborg, the commander of both expeditions, was rightfully declared the First King of Florandia, leveraging his influence in Bardonia to secure funds for the kingdom's initial development of the mainland, the developement of the Western Territories would mean future but that changed drasticly. Despite the overall growth and prosperity, an impending storm loomed on the horizon, signaling an imminent challenge for the kingdom.
====Secession of New Yoake====
After the successfulsuccessful colonization of the Western Territories, Florandia's development on the mainland stalled due to the suspension of funding from Bardonia, which particularly affected the stability of the Western Territories. Due to financial constraints, New Yoake was orismally a modest settlement in a frozen enclave, founded by Oldman Pablo, Lg of Eldam. Faced with a lack of external funding, New Yoake achieved self-sufficiency through the dedicated efforts of its city council and grsmall ew from a hamlet to a prosperous town. As the settlement changed, a Council of Truth was formed, and eventually Newyoake separated from Florandia due to perceived government inaction at a critical time.
====Storm on the Horizon====
Ater the initial success of the kingdom, a wave of prosperity lured a notorious pirate group known as 'The Barborosa Pirates.' While no initial battles were recorded, the looming threat they posed was palpable. The Barborosa Pirates issued an ultimatum, aiming to transform Florandia into a pirate utopia, spelling the demise of the state. Faced with an unavoidable crisis, King Kyborg made the difficult decision to initiate a mass resettlement, acknowledging Florandia's inability to withstand the impending danger. The new challenge unfolded, with numerous settlements abandoned, families shattered, all sacrificed for the survival of the Florandian people. The new land's of the kingdom was targetted, Astios was ou
===The Great Voyage to the West===
As Florandia faced the Barborosa Pirate threat and made the decision to depart the Phoros continent, a new chapter unfolded with the kingdom, embarking on a challenging voyage to find a new place to call home. Despite a reduced expedition force, with approximately one-third of the population opting to stay in New Yoake, the relocation of the entire kingdom proved to be a daunting task. This monumental decision meant leaving behind the fruits of hard-fought victories, a sacrifice not uncommon in the nation's history. The year-long process of full relocation concluded with Florandia settling on the continent of Astios, primarily establishing itself in the Highlands of Darian Mountains. To anchor this new chapter, a capital was established—Aurora—serving as the headquarters and symbol of resilience in the face of adversity.
==== The Age of Settlements ====
Following the swift colonization of Northern Astios, Florandia solidified its dominance over the region, driven by Kyborg's imperative to preempt potential threats from existing tribes and city-states. Notable among them were Statenland City, Principality of Pearl, and the early settlement of Avalon. Amidst peaceful coexistence, with Aurora situated in their midst as the Capital of Florandia, the initial plan for the development was to create infrastructure connecting these burgeoning cities, but unfortunetly leaving the tribes on the outskirts of it. Over time, the relationship between city-states and Florandia improved, leading to a pivotal decision. Recognizing the need for unity to safeguard against external imperial threats of Aristios, the city-states and tribal leaders opted to unite under the Florandian banner, fortifying the defense of these lands against forces seeking conquest and destruction.
The Great Voyage to the West marked a new chapter in Florandia's history, reminiscent of the epic journeys undertaken by ancient seafarers in search of new lands and opportunities. Despite the hardships and challenges that lay ahead, the Florandians embarked on their journey with courage and determination, guided by the beacon of hope that burned bright in their hearts. As Florandia settled in the Highlands of Darian Mountains, establishing the city of Aurora as their new capital, they carried with them the echoes of ancient settlements and the wisdom gleaned from centuries past. Like their predecessors, they forged ahead, undeterred by the trials of the present, knowing that their resilience would pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come.
Among the challenges faced by Florandia were the diverse Redorivian tribes inhabiting the newly colonized territories. However, contrary to expectations, these tribes proved compliant rather than confrontational. The Balistarian tribes, the tribe of Wistul, the city-state of Statenland, and the principality of Avalon welcomed the Florandians, offering cooperation and support in their settlement efforts. This unexpected alliance mirrored the diplomatic successes of ancient civilizations, where peaceful coexistence often prevailed over conflict. Guided by mutual respect and a shared vision for the future, Florandia and the Redorivian tribes worked together to build a harmonious society in the Highlands of Darian Mountains. The Florandians, inspired by the lessons of history, embraced diversity and collaboration, laying the foundation for a thriving multicultural nation. In this union of cultures and ideals, the echoes of ancient settlements resonated, reminding both Florandians and Redorivians of the enduring power of unity in the face of adversity.
==== City states and Tribes in Old Kingdom ====
Within the Florandian Kingdom, the City-States and Tribal Lands represented two distinct worlds. While cities flourished in development, tribal territories either embraced civilization or faced neglect and stagnation. Despite these differences, each state contributed a unique essence that rendered the Kingdom of Florandia truly vibrant. Notably documented were the Statenland City, Principality of Pearl, and Avalon. Alongside these urban centers, a myriad of tribes added to the kingdom's diversity, including the Wistulian Tribe, Errachian Tribe, Balistarian Tribe, Dwarven Tribes, and Animalfolk. 
===== City State of Statenland =====
Statenland City, a flourishing hub along the Staten River, became a vital City State within the Kingdom of Florandia. The resulting population boom and outward expansion led to the rise of the wealthy "Golden Dukes," who eventually became the sovereigns of Statenland. Their charitable image during the founding of the Duchy of Statenland, the first documented united state, is remembered as a significant contribution to Florandia.
===== Principality of Avalon =====
The Principality of Avalon was inhabited by a people who called themselves as the "Itsraelians." Initially an isolationist faction, after other city states like City-State of Statenland joined the Kingdom it had lead to the decision to integrate into the Kingdom. The principality derived its name from the lush jungle enveloping the city-state, which fostered prosperity through timber and fish trade. Despite joining the kingdom, Avalon largely retained its isolationist tendencies, primarily involving itself in trade and political affairs solely with the Kingdom's Senate.
===== Principality of Pearl =====
The Principality of Pearl emerged as a strategic point of eastern reaches, built to shield any dangers coming from the north east. While Pearl stood as the second city-state to align itself under the Florandian banner in northern Astios, its terrain proved inhospitable, causing frequent plagues that swept the principality. Despite boasting one of the most biggest fortresses ever constructed in Florandia during its era, Pearl had met its demise when the land wasannexed by The Empire of Aristios. But even before the annexation it was foreseen that Pearl its eventual downfall was inevitable. This event served as a pivotal catalyst for the Florando-Aristii Cold War.
===== The tribe of Wistul =====
The Wistulan tribes comprised a coalition of southern human tribes, bound together under a single cheefdom to safeguard themselves against potential threats and cave folk. Known for their superior quality timber found in the southern regions, the Wistulan tribes inhabited tightly-knit communities, with the largest among them being the bustling village of Posne, serving as the trade hub of the southeast. Motivated by assurances of progress and support from the kingdom, the tribes chose to align themselves with Florandia. The promise of development and assistance in eradication of forrest folk, which had plagued the Wistulan tribes even before writing system has been discovered, further cemented their decision to join forces with the kingdom.
==== The little golden age ====
After the succesfull negotiations with already existing Redorivian tribes, florandia went trough it's own golden age, maybe it wasn't an age where every city was covered with riches and gold, but it was a deacent time to live in. Due to small investitions to the country side the economy has been kick-started and people were encoureged by it to start their own rurall communities, the mining sectors of economy were too made bigger, dobbuled their size but they didn't make a big difrence on the economy, being the 8% of total income. The tribes and city states in this era had their own up's and down's but kept with the spirit of prosperity, the Wistul tribes and City of Avalon grew their timber industry and city state of statenland had it's own boom in population granting their "Duchy" status, principality of pearl was the other story as it didn't get enough sufficient funds to develop, and only the fortification's were made marking the sole existance of Pearl as a Buffer between the rising Empire of Aristios and Kingdom of Florandia. The decision would soon be known as a mistake as the principality quickly de-populated for better options as Statenland or Avalon. The little golden age was nothing more then age of relative peace and prosperity, but with everything coming to peak, some things can't last long.
==== Oreclad, the Dvarwen capital ====
In the little golden age the Dvarwen population of Florandia decided to create their own city of Oreclad located in southern territories of Florandia, the city was made the Industrial Center of Florandia, boosting the Industrial sector of Economy to be 19% of total income, the cities mayor count Firesword kept the city nice and tidy, he was the reason for it's early success. The City after it's rise in economy it became one of biggest hub's of trade in southern Florandia, it kept with glory of the era and had it's rise in population (Mainly from migrants of Pearl). 
==== The Florando-Aristi Cold War ====
After the "little golden age" that marked relative prosperity for most states, Principality of Pearl in that era didn't get any sufficient funds it needed to keep up with developing the country side, it was clear that with in decade the principality would lose 50% or more of it's population, seeing and using the weeknes the Empire of Aristios rulled by Emperor Otto interveened and annexed the Principality and took it's fortification. King Kyborg seeing the situation declared a State of Emergency and moved the capital to Oreclad, the annexation had an devastating effect on the Kingdom, states, city states and counts of the Kingdom started to question Kyborg's sole rule over the Florandia.
==== Crisis of the Parlament ====
Due to Kyborgs deteriorating mental health and paranoia, counts of Florandia were in mids of crisis, King Kyborg has been rejecting most of the proposals that intended on milding the effects of Aristi anexation of Pearl. Proposal after proposal were rejected and due to legistlative power being held by the King, Kyborg thought that every proposal would men his demise in power so he rejected most of them, because of that counts had no power to repair the Kingdom, due to this most of Florandian counts gathered in the parlament withought the King and discussed on how to gain back King's trust, some proposed an parlamentar monarchy, some proposed going for more legistlative power to the parlament and some just wanted to talk to the King. After day's of discussing they finnaly made their proposal to the king, the proposal was to change from Absolute monarchy to Liberal monarchy with equal power of the Parlament to king's power. after they written it down and wrote their signatures on the paper they went to king's palace and presented him the idea as the only option to get out from the crisis. After counts presented the idea to King he stood up, ripped the proposal from one of the counts and threw it into the fire, after that he said "This is an direct objection of my sole authority, are you rebeling against me ? I will have you hanged and burned on the stake !!!". After that all of the counts that were present in that time swiftly evacuated them selfs from the palace dissapointed with king's anwser.
==== "The mad King" ====
After King's Kyborg reaction to the proposal he became to be known in Florandian society as "The mad King", due to his paranoia he never left his palace after counts had proposed him the reconstruction plan for the Government, due to the cisis a major famine broke out, citizens were mad, counts had enough and the King was in his palace, counts had enough of the King so they begun to plot, they decided that King won't share his power with the parlament so they decided that they need to do something, and so they did, whispers going around the parlament now withought king present, now they needed to wait for the right time, at the right place.
==== The Great Conspiracy ====
Now that all of the counts were on the same page with the plot, King Kyborg was right with his paranoia, counts had enough of his dictating of what will be and what will be not, now the leader of parlamet, Possum had taken the lead, tho withought people's aprooval they could not do anything. With that Gorzealion, an popular figiure head had been informed about the conspiracy and decided to join, and form the league of "Bad Faith Counts", even King Kyborgs regent joined up with the idea. Now they needed to wait for the right time at the right place.
==== The Redorivian Flood ====
After preparation and collecting support from forgein nations and seciuring major states like Azkraken or Virfortis the revolution slowly begun, every state and every city that supported the movement had puten red banners outside of their gates, the revolution was swift and silent, and because nearly everyone were part of it we Florandians call it "Redorivial Flood". It didn't take too long to reach the capital, and even there no battle begun, they stored the palace, and saw the mad King trying to run. they captured him and interogated him, asking him why he was so stuborn for the proposal, and that if he agreed he would have been still in de-facto power. He stayed silent, and didn't say any word.
==== The Mad King's Trial ====
After King's capture he was putted on trial, the trial was one sided so it was reciting of king's mistakes, during the whole trial he stayed silent, the newly ellected Cheef of Justace said "we could have you hanged, burned on stake, but we won't be like you", the Judge rulled out an King's Exile back to Bardonia, where he stayed. Now that the King was Exiled, counts were tasked to repair the nation, and they realised that the majority of Population isn't Florandian, the majority of the population are many Redorivian Tribes, from whitch many took part in the battle for indepedence. They decided that they will create an Redorivian Federation as thank you to all of the tribes that were of help during the Silent Revolution.
== Chapter 2 "The Middle Kingdom" ==
=== Aftermath of The Redorivian Flood ===
After the Revolution ended Counts that took place in it with Gorz’s command created a new government in witch Gorzealion would be the Grand Marshal for the time of stabilization, while the new government was being created, another question arose, because of very small Florandian Population and most of citizens being from Redorivian tribes a question rose on if the new Federation should bring back Florandia or should it abolish the old regime and create the nation of it self ? The answer was clear, the newly created Senate had voted for abolishment of Florandian Kingdom thus officialy exiling Kyborg and creating new Redorivian Federation, at heart of Astios. 
==== Florandian autonomy in new republic ====
Although the Florandians were a minority within the new republic, they retained their culture, nationality, and a significant degree of autonomy. Despite the fact that half of the Florandians did not participate in the revolt against the king, their freedom was guaranteed by Gorzealion's regime. Even after losing our homeland, we preserved a part of it. Following the revolution, four states with a majority Florandian population gained autonomy: the State of Florandia, the State of Wistul, Daria, and Itsreal. These states fostered good relations and supported each other during these challenging times, which the Florandian people referred to as the "Dark Dawn" of Florandia as even with autonomy, we lost our lands.
==== Florandian States within the Republic ====
The Remaining Florandian states, as mentioned sticked close to eachother and maintained the Florandian Brotherhood between the populus. States that tried to hold Florandia Together, so maybe it would reform in better times. States like State of Wistul, State of Florandia, State of Itsreal and Kingdom State of Daria, these states were proud to say that they were Florandian. And here are some information on them.
===== State of Wistul: The Beacon of Progress =====
The State of Wistul, under the leadership of Grand Duke Jask von Atridies I, emerged as a symbol of resilience and progress. The state had successfully transformed the village of Posne into the fortified capital city of Kodań, which became a major trade hub in the southeastern republic. Specializing in timber and fish, Kodań's economy thrived, and Wistul's influence grew. However, the state faced the ongoing challenge of maintaining its prosperity while balancing the integration of both Florandian and Wistulian cultures. As Wistul became a beacon of hope for the Florandian people, it also attracted the attention of neighboring powers, who viewed its success with both admiration and concern.
===== State of Itsreal: A religious stronghold =====
The State of Itsreal, now a religious stronghold under the leadership of Sir Dawid Hei, continued to build upon its spiritual foundation. The completion of the grand temple of worship solidified Itsreal's status as the spiritual heart of the central Astios region. However, the state's strict religious laws, including the prohibition of fishing and hunting, began to create tension with neighboring regions that relied on these industries. Despite these challenges, Itsreal maintained its autonomy and remained dedicated to its spiritual mission, though the state increasingly found itself isolated from its secular counterparts.
===== State of Florandia: The Cultural Melting Pot =====
The State of Florandia, the most populous of the remaining Florandian states, continued to be a cultural melting pot. Under the guidance of Sir Kuroichi, the state undertook ambitious expansion projects, including the annexation of Azkraken and Fort Drachma. While these expansions bolstered the state's resources and influence, they also brought new challenges, such as integrating diverse populations and managing the tensions that arose from rapid growth. The state's leadership remained focused on maintaining unity among the various Florandian groups, even as external pressures threatened to destabilize the fragile peace.
===== Kingdom State of Daria: A Fragile Monarchy =====
The Kingdom State of Daria, once a protectorate of Redoriv, struggled to define its identity in the aftermath of the exile of its kings. The "Council of Resistance Members," formed by the citizens who resisted the monarchy, became the de facto ruling body. Despite the council's efforts to maintain stability, Daria's status as a de facto monarchy left it vulnerable to internal strife and external influence. The state's economy, reliant on wheat exports and timber, remained stable, but the political uncertainty made it difficult for Daria to fully capitalize on its resources. As the other Florandian states focused on their own development, Daria found itself increasingly isolated, with its future hanging in the balance.
==== The Era of Dark Dawn ====
This era was referred to as "Dark Dawn" for a reason. Even though King Kyborg was exiled, thus ending his short-lived dynasty, the Royal Decree remained a contentious issue among the remaining Florandian people. The coalition of four states decided not to elect a de facto new king of the Florandian people, so as not to provoke the new regime. Consequently, the remaining states of Florandia chose to maintain the Royal Decree in a state of status quo, recognizing that there was only three nobleman that were eligible to elect a king, one of witch was Jask von Atridies I. Furthermore, these states needed to focus on development before any chance of reforming the kingdom could arise. The "Dark Dawn" of Florandia grew increasingly ominous as difficult times loomed ahead.
===== An glimmer of hope =====
Even in these challenging times, there was still hope for Florandia. Following a period of necessary development, states like the State of Wistul achieved significant progress under the leadership of Jask von Atridies I. They fortified the village of Posne, elevating it to the status of the capital city and renaming it Kodań. Kodań became a crucial trade hub in the southeastern republic, specializing in timber and fish. Additionally, due to the state's noble leadership, the Republic's government granted the right to establish the Grand Duchy of Wistul, bestowing upon Jask von Atridies I the title of Grand Duke by the remaining nobleman of Florandia.
Other states, such as Itsreal, also saw substantial development. They completed the construction of their temple of worship and rebuilt their city from the ashes of old, overcoming the frequent forest fires that plagued the area. The last state to achieve development was the State of Florandia, which experienced a population increase that made it the most populous of the remaining Florandian states. Consequently, the Redorivian Government granted State of Florandia the right to annex the territories of Azkraken and Fort Drachma.
==== The Ongoing Struggle for Unity ====
As the Florandian states continued to evolve, the hope of reforming Florandia into a unified kingdom remained a distant dream. The legacy of the "Middle Kingdom" and the challenges of the "Dark Dawn" had left deep scars, and while there was an Glimmer of Hope provided a brief respite, the path forward was fraught with uncertainty. The Florandian Brotherhood, a bond that had once held the states together, was now tested by the divergent paths each state had taken. Whether these states would ultimately reunite or continue on separate trajectories remained an open question, with the future of Florandia hanging in the balance.
=== Florand Plague ===
The Florand Plague was a devastating pandemic that decimated the Florandian states, wiping out a significant portion of the population and nearly causing the near collapse of Florandian culture and civilization all togeather. The plague is believed to have originated during the 1st and 2nd Great Expeditions through the region of Ratham, where Florandian explorers first encountered the disease while searching for a new homeland and gathering resources. Although the initial outbreaks were contained, the plague later mutated into a more virulent strain that spread rapidly throughout the Florandian states, with catastrophic consequences.
The mutated strain of the Florand Plague first appeared in the densely populated State of Florandia. From there, it quickly spread to neighboring states, including Itsreal and Daria. The plague was highly contagious, spreading through both direct contact and contaminated water sources. Within months, the disease had devastated entire towns and villages, leaving desolation in its wake.
==== Impact on the Florandian States ====
The State of Florandia, was the hardest hit by the plague. As the cultural and population center of the Florandian states, it suffered immense losses. The disease decimated the population, leaving only a small fraction of survivors. The once-thriving cities and cultural hubs fell silent, and the survivors fled in desperation, abandoning their homes in search of safety.
The State of Itsreal, known for its religious significance and the presence of the only Solenian church in the region, was also severely impacted. The plague ravaged the isolated and devout population, spreading rapidly through the close-knit communities. Religious leaders, unable to offer solace or solutions, faced growing unrest among the desperate populace. The state’s sacred temple of worship became a place of mourning, as the faithful grappled with the horrors of the epidemic.
The Kingdom State of Daria, already weakened by internal strife and the loss of its monarchy, Daria was nearly wiped out by the Florand Plague. The "Council of Resistance Members," established to govern after the exile of the monarchy, struggled to maintain order as the disease swept through the state. Few survived, and the once-prosperous agricultural heartland was left abandoned, with fields lying fallow and untended.
The State of Wistul, though not spared from the plague, managed to survive the onslaught. Half of its population fell victim to the disease, and the capital city of Kodań, once a bustling trade hub, was severely impacted. Streets that were once filled with merchants and travelers became eerily quiet, and the economy ground to a halt. Despite these losses, Grand Duke Jask von Atridies I rallied the remaining citizens to fortify and protect what was left of Wistul. The state became a refuge for survivors from other Florandian states, though the influx of refugees strained resources and threatened to destabilize the region.
==== The Plague Exodus ====
As the Florand Plague continued to ravage the Florandian states, the survivors faced the grim reality that their homeland was on the brink of collapse. With their populations decimated and economies in ruins, many Florandians chose to abandon their homes altogether, initiating what became known as the Great Exodus. Survivors from Florandia, Itsreal, and Daria gathered what little they had left and began to migrate, seeking safety in neighboring territories and nations. Even Wistul, though it managed to hold its ground, saw a portion of its population depart, driven by fear and uncertainty. However, those who remained in Wistul were determined to rebuild, clinging to their heritage and fighting to preserve the Florandian identity.
==== Aftermath and Legacy ====
The Florand Plague marked the end of an era for most of the Florandian states. The lands left behind slowly reverted to nature, with only the ruins of cities and towns as a testament to the once-thriving civilization. 
State of Wistul, though weakened, emerged as the last stronghold of the Florandian people, carrying the torch of their culture and history into an uncertain future.
Itsreal returned under Avalon's rule after decades of Florandian rule, even if Florandians lived there for small amount of time, they still left temples and walls to symbolise that Florandian people were living in these areas.
Kingdom State of Daria, it was the most scared state of them all, by being completely left to rot, now what's left of Daria are ghost towns and ruins of once prosperous and proud state. May god have mercy on their souls.
State of Florandia, after the plague the state was stil inhabited by the noble's and very sparce population, the state even if it still housed population counted by fingers i had already died, there was no future for this state.
The Florand Plague is remembered as one of the most devastating events in Florandian history, a catastrophe that not only decimated the population but also led to the fragmentation and decline of the once-proud Florandian states. Despite this, the resilience of Wistul and the Florandian diaspora serve as enduring symbols of the people’s strength and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity.
==== Future full of turmoil ====
As citizens and nobles fled the Republic of Redoriv due to the Florand Plague, the remaining Florandian nobility made a pivotal decision to preserve their legacy. They transferred their remaining electoral power to Grand Duke Jask von Atridies I, appointing him as Grand Regent with the authority to become the new King of Florandia or designate a successor. This move was driven by the urgent need for centralized leadership to guide the Florandian people through the crisis and eventually restore their kingdom. Despite the immense challenges of rebuilding a devastated nation, the appointment of Jask von Atridies I as Grand Regent provided a glimmer of hope for Florandia’s turbulent future.
=== Relations with Redoriv ===
Following the Redorivian Flood, initial distrust between the new government and the Florandian people gradually dissipated. Grand Marshal Gorzealion, during his tenure, worked diligently to build friendly relations with the Florandians rather than create adversaries. He ensured steady funding for all states within the Republic, and despite emerging from the chaotic rule of King Kyborg, the Redorivian government imposed no oppression on the Florandian people. Under Gorzealion’s leadership, a period of equality was established between Redorivian tribals and Florandians.
During President O’Berry’s administration, there were few notable changes, but Florandians were not subjected to oppression. The Florandian community was integrated into the government, with Florandian Senators given a voice in the Redorivian Senate.
The most favorable period for the Florandian states occurred during President Brandamir’s presidency. His administration implemented substantial funding programs that allowed most states, including the Florandian states, to develop significantly. The Redorivian government even invested in a Florandian-owned railway company, R.N.R. (Redorivian National Railroads), which was owned by Jask von Atridies I and became a government-operated entity. This era was a glimmer of hope for the Florandian people. However, the optimism was short-lived as the Florand Plague struck at the end of Brandamir’s presidency, devastating the Florandian-majority states. 
==== Schism between Redoriv and Florandia ====
The Schism Between Redoriv and Florandia represented a severe breakdown in relations between the Redorivian government and the Florandian states, unfolding during President Zuko's administration's failure to support the reconstruction and recovery of the Florandian states after the devastation of the Florand Plague. Unlike his predecessors, who had actively engaged with and supported the Florandian people, Zuko’s government provided no assistance for the crisis. Despite repeated appeals from Jask von Atridies I, who sought to highlight and address these pressing issues before the Redorivian Senate, his efforts were largely dismissed. The Florandian concerns were deemed secondary, and no substantial resources or funding were allocated for rebuilding the affected states.
The disregard for Florandian issues resulted in deepening the rift between Redoriv and Florandia. The remaining Florandian states, feeling increasingly isolated and undervalued, began advocating for greater autonomy or even complete independence from Redoriv. The schism underscored a growing dissatisfaction with the central government’s policie, this lack of support was perceived as a betrayal by the Florandian people, who had expected continued integration and assistance from the Redorivian government. The failure to address the Florandian states urgent needs led to significant economic and social hardships, exacerbating the sense of abandonment and neglect.
The lack of support and the growing discontent among the Florandians resulted in a deepening of the rift between Redoriv and Florandia. The Florandian states felt abandoned and neglected, leading to increased calls for greater autonomy or complete independence from Redoriv. The schism underscored the growing dissatisfaction with the central government's policies and their perceived disregard for the well-being of the Florandian people.
