Calaveria is one of the few Nations that has lived in multiple worlds, founded in the Seasonal world of Akonanda, Tremons. Calaveria was then rebuilt in the World of Abexilas.
== History of Calaveria in Akonanda ==
=== The First Republic of Calaveria (Akonanda) ===
The Island Republic of Calaveria was established on an island in a large lake in the Eastern Continents of Akonanda. It would be led by LunarMC (Andrew H. Murphy) as the Republic's First Chancellor. He met NinjaJohn while building on the Island, John was drunk and disorderly when he wandered into the Republic. However after many hours, John sobered up and pledged his loyalty and debt to Andrew and Calaveria. As this was the early stages, John would become the first Vice Chancellor.
A large Cathedral and holy city was being built to the Republic's south, This was the Holy City of Pip. Brights0ng and MasterZach3000 were building the Holy City as the Calaverians were building theirs. Andrew met with Brights0ng and proposed that Pip be merged into Calaveria, establishing a larger, peaceful, and more cohesive space around the lake. This was agreed upon and the Holy City of Pip became the Largest City in the Republic.
Calaveria would consistantly grow, reaching a small population of around 20+ people. It help its first elections Late June of 2023. Andrew Murphy would be Re-Elected, defeating candidate Flycaster (Edward F. Cooper) in a tight race. FORCE_ewoker and ChickenBoi would become Senators for the Republic.
NinjaJohn, the first Vice Chancellor would unfortunately pass away to a Western Disease brought over by the Bee Colony, Beesomnia. He would be memorialized in the Republic and later replaced as Vice Chancellor by Edward F. Cooper. Shortly after the passing of Vice Chancellor John, Chancellor Murphy began to develop the fatal symptoms of Beesomnia and would soon pass aswell. brights0ng would then take over as Chancellor until the Nation slowly became inactive. It would be annexed by the nation of Stormhaven and later the land would be gifted to Perandoria
== The Wandering Republic Era (247 Years between Akonanda and Abexilas) ==
(The following message provides insight into the Wandering Republic Era in which the descendants of the First Calaverian Republic had to wander different continents and worlds for many generations, This is the long period between the First Calaverian Republic and the 2nd Calaverian Republic, which lasted 247 years or 8-12 Generations. This story also details the Calaverian Symbol "The Lady of the Republic" and her importance.)
*Many Generations have gone and passed...*
=== It is Winter, year 194 WRE. ===
Calaverians had wandered across multiple continents for almost two centuries. At this time, the Calaverians had begun to drop to severe amounts. The winter had become so harsh that Calaverians had fallen off cliffs due to thick blizzards, had to leave their frozen loved ones who had passed to exhaustion and hypothermia behind in the cold, and caves had become nearly blocked up or so cold that they became uninhabitable. In many cases, Wandering through forests was more dangerous than the open cliff sides. Branches would fall crushing the Wandering Calaverians, and snow would fall piling onto people and suffocating them. The Temperatures were so fierce that no Mammal, Bird, or insect was in sight.
However, often the winter would die down, and the sun would shine on the Calaverian people, warming their bodies for a short time. Due to the consistent struggles, Some of the Nomads left the group and went their separate ways. Some Calaverians would become so desperate that fights broke out and would begin to tear the group apart. Elaine Whitman was born in the Spring of 171 WRE, She and other women of the groups would take their time away from the group to find any form of food in the form of berries. She stood out amongst other women due to her relatively young age and a strong sense of calmness through the nomadic disputes.
Elaine Whitman often calmed down the disputes and reminded the Wandering Calaverians of their beliefs in peaceful resolve and perseverance. Often she was considered the judge of the group, or the peacekeeper, especially during harsh environments. After a few months and spring (195 WRE) had finally arrived, the Wandering Calaverians had finally enjoyed the warmth that had come. However, the harsh winter had cost them over 70 men, women, and children. The Wandering Calaverians had decided to begin a small, temporary settlement to rest. The Tribal period of these Calaverians led to a strong reset of roles as Women were gatherers of resources, and men would handle the affairs and hunting. The Calaverians would settle in an open plain on the edge of a forest, within walking distance of a river, good for fishing and agriculture. However, they encountered a strong group of other tribal people living in the region. This tribal group was named the Kulwati' Aldwab Tribe, A more advanced, equipped, and territorial tribe. In many cases throughout the following 8 years, the Calaverians and the Kulwati people would have small, isolated conflicts.
=== (Year 203 WRE, Late Summer) ===
The Wandering Calaverians had settled their small area and named it Hopewood. They hoped that this would be their new forever home. The small reforming of an unofficial government had taken place, but nowhere near to becoming the official Republic that the Calaverians once had. The men and the women of the Hopewood settlement would come together as a Council. When Elaine reached 31 years old, she was admitted into the council and began to bring up strong issues within the Calaverian way of life in their new settlement. Elaine consistently spoke against the Calaverian conflict with the Kulwati peoples and asked for a formal end to their small but consistent conflicts costing the lives of many on both sides.
She quickly became the strongest speaker for the women's half of the Council and was revered as the only one left in the group to have maintained the ideas of the Former Republic. As she continued to speak about the history of the Calaverians and their long standing history of perseverance, She became the face of the small settlement of Hopewood. For the First time in Calaverian History, she was the first female elected into any form of public office as she became the first Grand Council Speaker and she immediately began to settle their dispute with the Kulwati.
Peace had been established after long discussions with the tribal leaders of the Kulwati, and both began to mend the last 8 years of suble violence and pillaging between the two. Some of the Calaverian Men had disagreed with this course of action and began to lash out against their families. As soon as the leaves turned brown and trees began to die and the moon had begun to rise and bright white glow, 17 Men of the Calaverian Settlement lit torches, grabbed spears, and set out for the Kulwati settlement. In the matter of hours, Elaine's peaceful work had been undone. The 17 men now known as "The Torchers of Peace" marched out and set ablaze to the Kulwati tribe. Not a single Calaverian died in this act against the Kulwati people. This event was known as "The Torchers March".
Elaine and other Calaverians were horrified at this event and as the Torchers of Peace returned, an internal conflict broke out. The Settlement of Hopewood had burned down, The Torchers of Peace had been slain, and the Surviving Calaverians had to relocate. This event was named "The Calaverian Revolt". Elaine and the other Survivors were forced back into a nomadic life. Their old ways returned however Elaine's Democratic ideas stayed alive. She maintained her role as the Grand Council Speaker and led the Calaverian people into the world of Abexilas.
=== Year 246, WRE (Wandering Republic Era) ===
Elaine had grown old, however, she stayed hopeful to discover a new home for her people. She was 75 years old at this time and spent most of her days speaking and teaching the young children of the group. The Calaverian people constructed a boat and set off into the North Eastern Seas, leaving the Subcontinent of Cathelet. On this short voyage, Calaverians reached a small Archipelago in the North Eastern oceans of Abexilas. Elaine had become a symbol of perseverance, Peace, and Democracy to all the Calaverians over the past 75 years. She taught young men and women the fundamental principles of Democracy, Freedom, and Leadership, one of these people being a 19-year-old Marcus Aelius. As Calaverians began to settle down, Elaine would pass away. She was the most prominent figure of the final years of the Wandering Republic Era and led the Calaverians to an island where they could find peace and thrive by themselves.
In the Year 246 WRE (Wandering Republic Era) Marcus Aelius had heard word of some Calaverian peoples living in the southern oceans of Abexilas and set sail. He met with Pipstead leader Ibnus and spoke with him about the past few decades. Ibnus and the Pipstead tribes people agreed to visit the new Settlement of Calaver. After a year of construction and preparation*, In the year 247 WRE (Wandering Republic Era) Marcus Aelius and Ibnus of Pipstead would proclaim the New Calaverian Republic in the world of Abexilas. Marcus Aelius, being a student of Elaine Whitman had taken her principles and beliefs to heart as he became the New Chancellor of the Republic. He ensured that Elaine Whitman would be forever engraved as the Lady of the Republic. A symbol of life, perseverance, democracy, and peace.
