History (Outdated)
===History ===
Abard was founded in capetown in the 20s. It remained fairly isolated for a while until it got invaded by Sizzle during the Empire Wars adding it the first nation to be added into the Sizzlean Empire. It remained under occupation for 2 years until the Abardeans rose up and regained their independance, following this they intervened in the Sizzlean War of Succession, as it tried to invade Sizzle Island however was defeated by the Sizlt tribes.
Abard following these experiences was a very anti-imperialist nation, especially towards Red City which it tried to protest to stop being an empire, which failed. They continued this path by declaring war on the New Sizzlean Empire when it was discovered. Despite this when Henry I became the king of Abard the nation was turned into the Empire of Abard and tried to conquer Sizzle in the New Empire War. They were successful until Sizzle managed to nuke Abard, leading Abard to make a white peace.
Abard was conquered by Yetia during World War 1, and became the last stand for the Yetian Empire before Yetia was finally defeated. Abard foll0owing this became increasingly imperialistic and corrupt. Sizzle attempted to encircle Capetown but failed, leading to Abard occupying Sizzle Island and try to conquer Beijing, but are defeated and the king is killed in Sizzle Island leading to sizzle successfully taking over Abard.
Abard was hit hard by The Plague, faring arguably the second worse behind Yetia. Due to this their capital Capetown had to be abandoned for the 500 years. Some Rural abardeans went to the capital and found it deserted so they assumed Sizzle killed them so they formed a new Abardean Republic which was fascist. They then made the new capital called New Abard. Following this Abard became free from Sizzle again and kidnapped its ruling family and executed them in New Abard, because Sizzle did not know New Abard existed they were confused because capetown was abandoned.
This new Fascist abard alongside Lineland and Poavak formed the Axis League which was one of the major groups in World War 2. They were initially very successful, almost defeating Yetia until Yetia defeated Lineland in the decisive battle of Newtown leading to Lineland being defeated. Attention then turned on Abard which was destroyed in a attack from Yetia and Sizzle and therefore occupied. Following this Poavak surrendered.
Following this Abard co-oporated with the YNF until it was taken over by Peppa Pig's Luxurian Empire as the empire's first colony. Abard somewhat co-oporated with them initially until Abardean Terrorists rose up and begin doing terrorist attacks all over Luxuria. This angered Luxuria so they completely annihalated the entirety of Abard's surface with a massive lazer. Abard was however rebuilt.
Abard existed after this fairly poor, with a now restored Monarchy. Sizzle married into the Abardean royal family and got a personal union on them iincorporating them. Abardean forces co-oporated with sizzle and fought in the wars Sizzle waged in Europe. Most notably in the Third Sizzle-Yetian War which lead to the forming of the Sizzle-Yetian Empire and World War 4. Some Abardean groups fought for independance and tricked Utsong into giving their tactics to them. This continued until Sizzle-Yetia got fed up with Abard and conquered it and fully incorporated it into the empire. SYE was however eventually defeated, despite this Abard didnt gain full independance as it was taken under the wing of Socialist Lineland and was made to become a socialist state. Abard however eventually became fully free from them.
Abard tried to live independant still following this until the NLE showe dup and conquered it again and set up its mind control vaccines. Abard was destroyed again by lazers when the NLE fell but just to a larger degree. Following this Abard became very vengeful due to being conquered repeatedly for ages. Due to this they reformed the Axis League with poavak and started the First Allied-Axis War which they won. They remained the puppetmaster of many nations until they were taken down in the Second Allied-Axis War.
Abard became isolationist again until Great Sizzle was formed, which angered Abard due to their experience with empires. Abard due to this sieged and captured Camp-Dalt. Great Sizzle was enraged so it invaded and annexed Abard with relative ease. Sizzlean Abard reluctantly co-oporated with Great Sizzle, leading the campaign against Wanaoishi during the world war that followed. They were successful in this and defeated Wanaoishi. This all collapsed in the following World War after that one in which Abard's conquests to the north were destroyed and they were forced back into isolation, however they were independant again.
Abard became the most powerful nation in Africa and wanted to defend this so when Wanaoishi annexed Hongerswak it was enraged and attacked Wanaoishi however they signed a peace treaty which included becoming allies to conquer africa together, Abard also gained Humambo's old territory during this.
Abard since then had declined, leading to Iain Singlair launching a civil war and taking over the nation re-instating the gaelic monarchy. Abard has since then tried to improve itself to return to the power it once had.
Abard was involved in the latest world war, as it seeked to destroy Makebia however never really did much in the war and accepted a white peace.
