Myrtania, officially the Kingdom of Myrtania, also referred to as Myrtan, was a nation in Syltör and later Halinn founded in to .
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Myrtania was founded in . Its first king and founder, who would start a tradition where of his successors kings would adopt his name. The King of Myrtania mysteriously disappeared in , which would lead to a now deleted user and Nido the First to take power over the small Kingdom for the time being.
During this time, Myrtania would sign several new pacts, including with the nation of Frostmyre, which would include a defence, economic and non-agression pact. In , Weshire declared war on Myrtania after a period of rising tensions. During the conflict, Lunaris and the Confederation of Plagos joined the war on the side of Myrtania. Weshire surrendered to coalition forces and join Myrtania as a province.
=== Reformation and civil wars ===
A few years thereafter, Myrtania collaped. However, famed player Wrog, who played a prominent role during the Karteki Civil War, reformed the nation shortly thereafter. This act was endorsed by Myrtania's first king, who praised wrog for his actions. Under Wrog, Myrtania became a vassal to the Kingdom of Councils, later joining Lunaris in order to dissolve the Kingdom of Councils and split its territory up between eachother.
Myrtania supported the Sinatra-Mafia in their war against another nation Several Myrtan citizens mounted coup against Wrogs, formin a military junta. Military leadership declared war on Lunaris thereafter, causing a conflict of global proportions. After junta leader Pyze took power, he continued the war effort, resulting in a loss for the military government at the hands of Lunaris and its allies. Following their defeat, the majority of junta leaders were driven off the island and sent into exile. This also resulted in the annexation of Myrtania into Lunaris.
Following the loss, Oedragon took over the newly destroyed Junta and immediately declared Myrtania independence from Lunaris, claiming that "there was NO valid treaty ever signed with Lunaris." Lunaris rejected the Myrtan declaration of independence and siubsequently declared another war against Oedragon's government. In response, Myrtan citizens under the leadership of Nutz rose up against Oedragon and formed a new central government, proclaiming the dissolution of the Kingdom of Myrtania and the creation of the Republic of Myrtania in its place.
Echolol, the Hand of the King, migrated with a large part of the population and resettled Myrtania once again. Myrtania also joined the Sapphire Alliance with the permission of the Kingdom of Councils, wrogs former allies and protectors. When Eldhamite forces invaded Rathnir in , Oedragon abdicated as king of Myrtana being succeeded by Echolol. The new king announced that Myrtana would leave the Sapphire Alliance and join the Pearl Alliance instead.
=== Migration to Abexilas ===
In , Myrtania joined several other nation in forming the Councilate of Western Phagosia with Echolol becoming the head of government of this new nation. Oedragon later returned and couped Echolol, exiling him from Myrtania and dissolving Western Phagosia and resulting in another migration of the Myrtan population. Shortly before Rathnir was hit Iristor's Comet, Myrtania annexed some lands from Kartek and joined them as a vassal, resulting in significant territorial gains.
Some time after their arrival to Abexilas, Ravian I would be throned as the new King of Myrtania. Under his leadership, Myrtania grew more and more unstable, ultimately resulting in the Myrtan Civil War in . Military engagements ended in with the surrender of loyalist forces and Ravian's flight to Tiberia. The victorious Aegis who led the rebellion, was subsequently crowned king.
=== Decline and dissolution ===
During his early reign, Aegis purchased Roulonburg, a large 500 Chunk claim which had quickly grew into the nations largest town, from Aethos. His reign also saw the acquisition of the territory of Tiflisia in August of 2024.
A few years into his reign, Aegis became more and more withdrawn from his royal duties, rarely appearing in public. He handed over the governing of Myrtana to Gamestew, and designated him as his succcessor. However, since Gamestew likewise became more and more withdrawn, Aegis withdrew this designation shortly after, naming Schellengeber and Panda12312 as heads of government instead.
Panda12312 and Schellengeber planned to reform Myrtania into a constitutional monarchy to prevent future succession crisis. Plans for the election of a new monarch were announced in , shortly after Schellenberger agreed to vassalize Myrtania under Kutaiyara. This resulted in the secession of multiple towns which refused to join over to Kutaiyara and subsequently declared independence. This election would not come to pass, however, since the remaining members of the Myrtan government announced the dissolution of the kingdom in , planning to reform the nation into the "United Republics of Myrtania". In the Fall of the same year, the Myrtan government collapsed entirely, following political instability and popular dissatisfaction with the current state of the nation. Aegis I, in his first public appearance in years, declared that "my Myrtana ended [in ]." In his address, he thanked Gamestew, Blackcat, Schellengeber, Pug and Sky and endorsed the Crusaders of Myrtana as "the last Myrtana left." 
=== Restoration under Ne'Zuria ===
In , Panda12312, now prince of Ne'Zuria, denounced Aegis as a "dictator who splintered the territories of the former kingdom of Myrtania across several nations and whom [sic] tried to crush our nation and force us under the rule of a weak government." In , Panda12312 declared the "restoration of Myrtana" under the Fifth Kingdom of Myrtania, a Ne'Zurian province.
