Medena (Abexilas)

Medena is located in the North regions of Abexilas on the continent of Tiberia. It has a varied history. It went from a democratic republic to a monarchist province of the Razuni Sultanate to become the Irisnian Kingdom after declaring independence from the sultanate and later to become a hold of the Pale after the Irisnian Kingdom. It was becoming its independent state, as the Second Republic of Medena after the Pale dissolved. As the most current, they returned to the Medenian brother nation, Razuni, but after Medena was abandoned after it moved to Abexilas, it came under the rule of MemeRuler, also named Matteo I.
==History ==
=== Consortium Era===
After Medena moved to Abexilas, many Medenians became inactive after Archduke Sheep fell ill with the people-syndrome, respectfully handing power to a regent, thus respectfully ending the old and glorious era of Medena led by Sheep, and in the ensuing power vacuum, Matteo also known as MemeRuler II, one of Medena's founding fathers, seized Herzoggrad and declared the Consortium of Medena with him as "Rector Consul", JohnnyvonCanada (Charles Ian) as Vicarius and TonyLemon as "Imperator Auxiliaris".
===New Monarchist Medenian Era===
After Matteo seized Medena, a sprawl of activity was apparent with many new citizens joining the New Medena, due to the recent growth of activity and citizens, Matteo, alongside the government, decided to enact a democratic system of government with a monarchy crowning him as King Matteo I, a constitutional monarchy so to speak, with elections being organised and political parties being made.
===The Great Throwing===
After the grand opening of Medenain sailors, Kube al Valentias gathered by his balcony to give a great moral speech to his people. Little did he know what would come soon... 
Before the speech, Kube and a foreign traveller were sitting on his balcony, there Kube came up with the idea for a speech, he gathered the Medenan people to the front of his building while doing so a dark figure approached, he found his way through the building and before Kube knew it, he was pushed down a 15ft drop. 
His limbs battered and his head weak, he had to use what strength was left of him to run, or else the assassin would finish him, and the fate of Medena could be ruined. 
He tried to lift himself but he couldn't, he tried to open his eyes but everything was against him, but with his Valentian ancestor's strength pushing him he ran with what he could, and ran fast he did. 
He ran fast for his country and he ran faster for his people. Who this mysterious figure is, is unknown.
===Medenian Independence & The Second Medenian Emergency===
====Medenian Independence ====
On the 25th of 47 VE, a historic shift occurred as a large coalition of kingdoms broke away from the Golden Coast, securing their independence following a significant crisis within the Empire. Among these was Medena, a region that had grown increasingly disillusioned with the Empire's chaos and dysfunction. Frustrated by the ongoing turmoil and yearning for self-determination, the Medenians seriously considered breaking away from the Golden Coast to establish their identity on the world stage.
In response to these growing sentiments, a referendum was hastily organised, allowing the people of Medena to voice their desires. The results were decisive: nearly the entire population voted in favor of independence, eager to sever ties with the Golden Coast once and for all. The excitement among Medenians was palpable, with the prospect of freedom sparking widespread celebrations and a renewed sense of national pride.
However, the Golden Coast was unwilling to let Medena go so easily. Imperial authorities vehemently opposed the idea of Medena’s independence, insisting that the region remain under their control. Tensions escalated as the Golden Coast demanded that Medena abandon its pursuit of freedom, leading to a heated standoff between the two sides.
Despite the intense pressure and the disagreements between the two parties, Medena remained resolute in its quest for sovereignty. The determination of the Medenians could not be shaken, and their collective will to break free from the Empire only grew stronger. The very day after the referendum, Medena took the bold step of declaring its independence, officially severing ties with the Golden Coast. Against all odds and opposition, Medena emerged as a free and independent nation, ready to forge its path on the world stage and chart a new course for its future.
====The Second Medenian Emergency====
Just as Medena celebrated its hard-won independence, a scandal erupted that threatened to unravel the newfound unity of the nation. Prime Minister Kube, a key figure in the independence movement, was suddenly accused of spying for the Golden Coast. The shocking allegations sent shockwaves throughout Medena, sparking outrage and disbelief among the populace. The nation, still in the early stages of forging its identity, was plunged into turmoil as trust in its leadership was shaken.
The situation quickly escalated, leading to widespread chaos and anger across Medena. In the face of growing unrest, King Matteo and Crown Prince Sturm were left with no choice but to take decisive action. In an unprecedented move, they declared a state of emergency, the first time such drastic measures had been taken since Medena’s time in Eldham. The declaration underscored the gravity of the crisis and the need to restore stability before the situation spiralled out of control.
As part of the emergency measures, Prime Minister Kube was immediately removed from office, a necessary step to prevent further damage to the nation’s fragile state. In his place, the heads of state swiftly appointed Greenace as the acting Prime Minister. Greenace was tasked with navigating the country through this crisis, maintaining order, and restoring the public’s confidence in the government. The hope was that with Greenace at the helm, Medena could weather the storm, resolve the crisis, and continue its journey as an independent nation without further setbacks.
The road ahead was fraught with challenges, but Medena’s leadership was determined to overcome them, ensuring that the hard-fought independence would not be derailed by internal strife.
===Exile of the former Archduke ===
As the former Archduke of Medena distanced himself from politics, he finally started to show signs of recovering. This raised concern for King Matteo as a full recovery of Z'swaku could threaten his base of power. So he was dispatched to his residence, accompanied by two guardsmen to give him a choice. Either he should renounce his titles and claim to the Medenian throne to be allowed to stay or go into exile. After praying for the safety and prosperity of the Medenian state Sheep chose to go into voluntary exile. 
== Minority of Dock People ==
As Greenace had been recruiting people, he came across Luka. At the time, the Housing Crisis had been going on in Herzoggrad. So Luka built a home in the docks. As new people started to join Medena, they would find no place to stay other than in Luka's house. So this growing community under docks, decided to declare themselves as the Dock People.
=== About Dock People ===
Dock People are known for their wealth, PvP skills of their leader, amount of grinding on jobs they have been given, and activity.
=== Terrorism in Herzoggrad ===
There was an issue with this amount of power and influence; they were strong and could do anything they want. So they started to kill random people. As this had been realised by the Kaiser, laws have been made. Greenace kicked Luka out but he gave Luka's citizenship back under an agreement.
=== Agreement with Dock People ===
The Dock People continued to exist but they couldn't get new members as it could make them dangerous. But at the end of the day, they were showing their loyalty to Matteo and his government's laws.
