The Three Thrones

The Three Thrones and its core population were located on the isles Of Yulara. 
Yulara is the largest island in Rathnir, located off the northern coast of Syltör. It is home to the nations of Lennox, Halge, Valle, Credia, and parts of Andorn. Substates of the continent also include Lemebah and The Sand Republic. 
The climate of the region is very dry, with mostly desert and dry grassland; there are small forests in the north and west, and to the archipelago off the southeastern coast.
== Government ==
The Three Thrones government consisted of Representatives of the three member states of Halge, Lennox and Valle. These representatives number three each for each state, occupying the collective governing body known as the High Council. 
Policy was determined via collective vote by Representatives, with said policy being delivered as a part of the agenda of the Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister, both of whom are elected by High Council vote. Efforts are made by representatives to avoid following sole national interest in voting for Prime Minister candidates, and instead focus on candidate's policies, which amounted to mixed results due to internalized agendas of the member states. The Prime Minister of the Three Thrones has historically always been Halgean. 
Representatives are elected internally by the member states using methods of their own choosing, making the roles of High Council members closed off from public vote. 
Under the main High Council sits the Lower Council, made up of the Ministers, who are elected from the populace by Representative votes. These Ministers oversee more public affairs, such as Citizen Relations, Infrastructure, Culture, Industry and other domains. 
== Early History ==
The Three Thrones's origins can be traced back to the Yularan Solar Alliance, which was formed as an initiative by Spyral Ulburnr as Lennox Grand Vizier to secure Northern Syltor's stability after the Coalition War and the Bardonian Spring. Popularguygaming, Leader of Halge, had always wanted to create a larger union between the nations of Yulara, with the purpose of not only increasing our overall defensive capabilities on a mutual perspective, but also to increase our overall cooperation in the region, our economies, and most of all ensure the continuing existence of all of our original nations. 
The member states of Halge, Valle and Lennox had historically worked closely under the Solar Alliance, but eventually after many months, Popularguygaming and TheBigPeople, both Leaders of The Kingdom of Halge, approached the governments of Lennox and Valle to form the Yularan Union, which was later renamed to The Three Thrones.
== Modern History ==
Reactions to the formation of The Three Thrones were mostly positive, with the international community beginning to recognize the region where previously global diplomacy had been sparodic in contact with Three Thrones members due to their size as nations. However, on Yulara, tensions became charged, with suspicion between the Kingdom of Credia (later the Baselia of Credia) and the Three Thrones increasing due to the formation of the new state and the Credian status as a Bardonian protectorate. 
These tensions culminated in insinuations being lodged against the contemporary Prime Minister TheBigPeople about their sexuality by the Credian King Silent Whiterose, resulting in his abdication soon after due to the diplomatic fracas. Some details of this saga remain private knowledge to this day due to national security efforts by both sides. With the new Credian government under Enzo, these tensions soon subsided in mediated talks by the Sparwood nation of Tovarisha, and Yularan politics became far more easygoing. 
Soon, war approached the isle from squatters on Adorn islands in the Sea of Petals, seeking to expand their ill-gotten gains to the Lennoxer town of Nermou, located in northwestern Yulara. These squatters were revealed to be the same victims of the Battle of Ramtopia, now under their own state of the nation of Piraeus. Their attempts at aggression were rebuffed when Lennox internal militaries mobilized, resulting in the Piraeans rescinding their declaration of war on the town of Nermou. Andorn contacted The Three Thrones to plan a joint effort to remove the squatters by force, however these efforts were soon abandoned due to the fragmentation of the 4th Bardonian Empire after the Black Dandelion coup lead by Crezyman.
== The Rise and Collapse of The Black Dandelion Order ==
Soon after the formation of The Black Dandelion Order, Andorn and Ryzan declared their independence and what originally started as a coup in Bardonia now turned into a full on Civil War, which only lasted a few days since The Black Dandelion Order soon declared the disolution of The 4th Empire of Bardonia and the capitulation of The Black Dandelion Order, Bardonia was then reformed into The State of Bardonia while the rest of Syltor remained in turmoil after the collapse, with instability, chaos, banditry, The Balkanization of The Empire of Andorn, and anarchy reigning supreme, all the while The Three Thrones in Yulara watching in horror, The Three Thrones did not suffer any damages after the collapse of Bardonia. 
== The Three Throne's Rise ==
The Three Thrones quickly found itself in a unique position that it hadn't previously found itself before, a position of power, which became official after Juno, the official map maker of Rathnir, declared The Three Thrones as the "regional superpower" in Syltor and it became evidently clear that The Three Thrones needed to act and intervene in all of the chaos by lending a hand to every Syltor nation that found itself in a difficult position, with the aim of re-establishing order in the once stable continent of Syltor. 
These efforts were mainly formal recognitions of the sovereignty of all the newly independent nations that formed after the collapse of The 4th Empire of Bardonia, military assistance and economic assistance to any Syltor nation that requested it, and the guaranteed protection of all Syltor nations from any and all internal or external threats in the wake of the collapse. This was all done regardless of The Three Throne's previous relations with these countries, and after a few days these efforts had proven to be a complete success as the region soon became relatively stable, the only threat left in the region were the remnants of The Black Dandelion Order whom were mainly squatters in either Ryzan or the formal provinces of Andorn, or Andorn itself. 
During this time, The Three Thrones was experiencing a new period of prosperity domestically and internationally, as the nation had gained international relevancy due to it's efforts in reaching out to any Syltor nation that was in need of help, and in it's efforts to secure the future stability of Syltor, it also began expanding it's internal infrastructure and further organizing and expanding it's government, this is also around the time The Three Thrones Armed Forces (TTT Armed Forces) grew in numbers and strength, especially after acquiring more experience. 
== TheWorstIan's Attempted Rebellion ==
The Black Dandelion leaders (Jingo) had his eyes on a newly independent nation called Ostia in Yulara, The Three Thrones declared it's support for Ostia but even with TTT's guaranteed protection, the fear of invasion motivated the government of Ostia to formally requesting entry into The Three Thrones as a part of the state of Lennox. The High Council accepted their request and once the announcement was made regarding the peaceful entry of Ostia, Jingo and his group backed down from attacking Ostia. 
But even though Ostia was now safe, a player by the name of Just Another Ian, or TheWorstIan in the Minecraft server, viewed the change as The Three Thrones taking over Ostia after a crisis, he tried acquiring the support of citizens but was met with rejection, following his failure of acquiring the support of the people of Ostia he then decided to acquire the assistance of foreign Syltor powers in his newly found quest of taking down The Three Thrones. He contacted the Wivamovia leaders for assistance, but he knew that he wasn't going to be able to convince them by telling them the truth, that is why he openly lied and deceived them into believing his false narrative of The Three Thrones was taking over Ostia by force. Fortunately his efforts were thwarted after the discord in which these conversations were taking place was discovered by TTT Intelligence Operatives, and our foreign representatives were able to clear up the misunderstanding created by TheWorstIan, reveling the truth of his plan. 
Out of options and completely isolated, TheWorstIan resorted to gathering what ever player he could from unknown locations and formed a squad with a mission to assassinate the newly appointed leader of Ostia, Luminex. After Luminex was confronted by Ian's squad, he managed to escape their grasp and was not killed by them, but regardless Luminex contacted the TT government for quick assistance, and a small task force was immediately assembled by TheBigPeople which then set out to quickly eliminate TheWorstIan, their mission was a complete success and Ian was driven out of Yulara and soon was later banned and placed on a Kill On Sight list in most of the nations in Syltor after the announcement was made by the government of The Three Thrones regarding the assassination attempt of Luminex. 
== The Northern Star Coalition ==
After this, it was evident that The Three Thrones had changed it's foreign policy, the nation had turned into the unofficial "protector" of Syltor from any internal or external threats, and with this new found policy the new Prime Minister Popularguygaming and the former Prime Minister TheBigPeople, created The Syltor Alliance, later renamed The Northern Star Coalition, the nations that can be found in this coalition are, The Aurlunor Velande, The Basileia of Credia, The Nation of Galinios, The United Kingdoms of Kazan, The Empire of Andorn, The Three Thrones, The Helmian Federation, and The Ryvenate of Ryzan.
== TTT Armed Forces ==
The Three Thrones Armed Forces is the main military of The Three Thrones. Created under The New Deal Act on 01/24/2022, it's main purpose is to protect TTT from foreign or domestic threats, they follow the directive of The High Council. 
== Collapse ==
A combination of factors contributed to the collapse of The Three Thrones. Firstly, a vassalised Ostia faced invasion from Capna's occupied Yularan territory of Mavos, which internal TTT government members refused to abate through purchases of mercenaries. This divide in the government between those who wished to support Ostia's defence (and eventually the defence of Lennox when Capna expanded his claims to attempt to battle for Lennoxer territory) and those who did not led to a schism. Despite the fact that the crisis eventually abated with Capna's Mavos joining Bardonia, the damage remained done.
It was discovered by Valle and Lennox that Halge had in reality been utilising monies for TTT diplomacy to purchase vassalised territories in Sparwood for their own individual benefit, rather than a wider TTT-wide goal. The representative system seemingly only ever elected a Halgean leader, shutting out Valle and Lennox representatives from the highest positions of power. After two election seasons of complaint, Popularguygaming altered the requirements, but not before both Lennox and Valle had lost complete trust in the union. Erratic behaviours of Halgean representatives and percieved "unscrupulous" attempts at diplomacy and espoinage were the nail in the coffin. Upon Lennoxer officials assuming the Presidency, they dissolved the Three Thrones, and the union.
=== Aftermath ===
The dissolution of the Three Thrones was a very viscious affair for all involved. A Halgean temporarily entrusted with the Vallian town of Skyreach promptly seceded from Valle, forming the State of Lemebah. The name was a deliberate choice, referring to the former name of the nearby Lennoxer town of Ramtopia, this in of itself being an implicit threat of war. Due to this Halgean official supposedly being wealthy enough to fund multiple mercenary groups for a defensive war, little could be done by Valle to stop this. The State of Lemebah was eventually sold to Cloke, who created the state of Swagistan, which later became Ararin.
The same politician along with Popularguygaming would continually form schemes against both Lennox and Valle, which were continually picked up by the two states' spy networks. The resulting Cold War continued through 2022, as Yulara became split between two poles, the Halgean and the Valle-Lennoxer, as these two groups continually attempted to re-unify the Isle on their terms. Events such as the Vasilea Incident would mark various hot points in this cold war, which only abated following the death of Popularguygaming and the ascension of his successor, GreatDolphin12 to the Halgean throne. Dolphin formally sold Halgean territories on Yulara to Lennox in 2023, marking the end of their presence on the isle.
