===Territory===
====Territory Overview ====
Cyprus holds territory across the Mediterranean, as well as several overseas territories. The mainland consists of North West Africa, the Levant, Anatolia, Northern Iraq, Cyprus, the Aegean Islands, Southern Greece and the artificial Harika Island. The colonial territories are Dubai and the Cabô Verde islands, as well as the autonomous kingdom of South Africa.
Alekistan has two land borders with Alekia, one just past the Bosporous and the other through the middle of Greece. Alekistan also has a border with EKK, a Middle Eastern faction based primarily in Saudi Arabia. A third border is also shared with Southern Nambia via the South African Kingdom.
====Territorial Expansion====
Alekistan began only upon the island on Cyprus, with New Alekistan City (then known more commonly as Olympus) being the only city. However only several days into the season, as the nations population began to grow, the coast of southern Anatolia and parts of the northern levant were claimed, giving rise to the city of Adana. This was soon followed by the southern expansion of the levant coast to claim Lebanon, where a border with the nation of Palestine was reached. Shortly after this, a large swathe of Western Anatolia was claimed, and plans for the artificial border with the Dutch colony, now modern day Alecia, were created.
After this period of initial expansion Alekistan's borders remained dormant for a week or so, as players built up cities such as Antalya and Izmir, but on the 15th of September 2021 the Palestine faction disbanded and Cyprus claimed their old territory, giving them a border with the Austria Hungary Suez colony. This time also saw the remainder of Anatolia being claimed, as well as some territory past the city of Istanbul-Upon-Bosphorus, giving the nation a border with Alecia. The only expansion since has been the purchase of Egypt from Stormaktstiden (who went on to form the nation of Brennenburg) for 750K, with the city of Tandata being incorporated into Alekistan's borders.
====Expansion in the Second Age====
The Second Age (which can be read about below), began on 3/10/21, with territorial expansion westwards. This was into North Africa, as well as further parts of Egypt by the then Acting Leader TheLetterH. South Africa was also made an autonomous region of Alekistan on the same day, led by Queen Avedia, it underwent territorial expansion shortly after being incorporated. The Arabian Colony, located in the UAE was also created, on the 8th of October.
====Expansion in the Third Age====
After the Co-Sultante was established the Cape Verde islands (where IcyMC had relocated) were claimed as part of Alekistan. The territory of Southern Greece was also added to Alekistan following victory in the Alekistan-Alekian War and the subsequent Third Treaty of Houdia.
==History of Season 7 Alekistan==
===The First Age of Alekistan===
====The Brewery Siege====
The beginning of Season 7 saw occasional unexplained hordes of mobs suddenly appearing at night within claimed territory, with several Cypriots having already experienced this, with Cypriot Special Forces assisting with the Hungarian efforts led by hatersgonnahate8 to fight off hordes in Budapest. 
However, the Alekistanis were yet to experience the monster hordes until the 1st of September 2021, when suddenly one night mobs took over the plains of Olympus, at the time when TheLetterH and Redstone_Rob were online (Ventuj was also online but safe on the Turkish mainland). They were initially taken by surprised before realising what the infestation was.
Mobs had surrounded Redstone_Rob's brewery, and TheLetterH went to assist him in defending the brewery, however a large horde of zombies broke into the main building and were fought on the stairway, with creepers causing damage to the brewery and the surrounding area. After the sun came up and the majority of the mobs had burned to death, Redstone_Rob and TheLetterH set about trying to repair the brewery. 
However they hadn't even finished the repairs until the second night came with another swarm of mobs, this saw the beginning of the Second Night's Siege. This time they managed to prevent the mobs entering the main building, however more damage was sustained, and TheLetterH had multiple deaths, due to broken armour. Exesa also joined during the second siege and was able to assist during some of the night. Cypriot citizens were advised to either seek safe shelter or stay in a mob free area. Redstone_Rob also installed a door locking mechanism in case the infestation were to occur again.
===The Second Age of Alekistan===
====Abdication of Sultan IcyMC====
The First Age of Alekistan ended on 2/10/21 when IcyMC_ was exiled from the nation, after joining Pemos in their war against Heaven's Crisis. Icy formed the Alekistani Sultanate in the Cabo Verde islands along with seurator1527. This initially left Alekistan in a state of disarray as no clear leader had been appointed in their stead. Therefore elections were organised for 6/10/21 to decide the next Sultan of Alekistan, in the meantime TheLetterH became acting leader, as he had been made leader of the faction on Globia.
====Elections and beginning of the new era====
Three candidates stepped forward for the position of Sultan; TheLetterH, GToMaster and Redstone_Rob. GToMaster pulled out of the race the day before speeches were made, endorsing TheLetterH as Sultan. This is likely to have helped TheLetterH win by such a sizeable margin of 6-1 and gain the title of Sultan on 6/10/21
====Acquisition of South Africa====
On the 4/10/21 South Africa was added as an autonomous kingdom to Alekistan. They were led by Queen Avedia who TheLetterH knew from previous seasons, South Africa was given a large degree of autonomy. South Africa added a large amount of land, as well as three players and two cities to the Alekistan Territory and was a successful integration.
====The Contested Throne====
However the second era did not come without its troubles, on the 9th of October 2021 IcyMC claimed they were the rightful Sultan of Alekistan, and ought to be restored to the throne of Alekistan. They were met with support from both Pemos and Brennenburg, however TheLetterH refused to give up his position and this was mostly supported by the people of Alekistan. As tensions rose war looked increasingly likely, however Alekistan attempted to prevent this due to other events happening at the time.
====The Late Second Era====
The late second era of Alekistan was a testing time in Alekistan with war being a looming threat over the citizens throughout these last few days. The contested throne was just one of the challenges facing the nation at this time, with tresspassers from Austria-Hungary and Canada refusing to leave South Africa and acting aggressively being one of the problems. Another problem was that of the faction known as 'house' then located near the South African border. The leader Aboodblocks had killed at least three members of Alekistan, one of these being Queen Avedia herself. Calls for war against this faction were common among Alekistan citizens. As well as this Queen Avedia left the server on the 10/10/21, leaving South Africa without an appointed leader. 
===The Third Age of Alekistan===
====The establishment of the Co-Sultanate====
The Second Age ended and the Third Age began on the 12/10/21 when Ex-Sultan IcyMC requested to rejoin Alekistan. They were welcomed back, and TheLetterH appointed them as Co-Sultan as an equal to jointly rule over Alekistan together. This was well recieved by the Alekistan people, who were glad to see the return of Icy. 
====The Alekistan-Alekian War====
This war began on the 17th of October 2021, and was against the nation of Alekia as well as Carmichael and LTControl who offered to help them. The Alekistan Military had 5 soldiers all well equipped against the Alekian’s 8 soldiers. The initial stages of the war consisted of RedstoneRob and FilthyFranklin attacking the western fort of Alekia. This was done very successfully and the occupation was pulled off without much trouble and bringing about many enemy casualties. The other front was the Houdia front, TheLetterH and IcyMC attacked the capital together, however Carmichael using his superior gear as well as an illegal windstick killed Icy early on and they were confined to Cyprus, unable to return. TheLetterH meanwhile stayed in Houdia occasionally having to retreat and stay on the outskirts but also killing some of the worse equipped Alecian soldiers, and notably the Alecian leader Kaiyan. Carmichael and LT then decided to attack Cyprus, which allowed TheLetterH to begin his occupation of Houdia. Ventuj who at this point had been defending Site T, as well as Redstone Rob returned to Cyprus to assist Icy in its defence and to stall Carmichael. FilthyFranklin stayed in the western fort in case they tried to retake it. 
The defence of Cyprus was well executed, with Carmichael unable to harm or kill any of its defenders, with Icy utilizing the cities' extensive catacombs to remain undetected. Carmichael eventually realised that Houdia was being occupied and rushed to return, closely followed by Redstone Rob. 
Rob and H managed to evade Carmichael for long enough to claim the city however, and victory was achieved for the Alekistanis. In the long subsequent peace talks, it was agreed that Southern Greece would be transferred to Alekistan and that Carmichael would be executed. This was eventually organised and Carmichael was killed by a firing squad of TheLetterH, RedstoneRob, GtoMaster and Ventuj.
====The Crowning of Pakistan ====
After Queen Avedia left the faction, the leader of South Africa was undecided for about a week. Alekistan continued to hold it as an autonomous territory, until _pakistan decided to return to South Africa and was named King. Pakistan was given sovereignty due to his past with the region, when he first joined season 7 he set up the nation of Diamantland (located in South Africa), being fond and nostalgic about the place he wishes to return. His first act was to decide to rename the autonomous region of South Africa to Diamantland, after his first settlement.
==The Alekistan Military ==
===Alekistani Special Task Force IC-MC-001 Operations===
On the 7/9/21, Alekistani Special Task Force IC-MC-001 was dispatched to Budapest to assist King von Haters the Third of Hungary in suppressing an insurrection by Orionlandia. ASTF IC-MC-001 quickly converged on an estate just north of Yodatown in Hungary where Orionlandia was hiding, the taskforce successfully surrounded the target and forced them to surrender. However, just before doing so, Orionlandia hacked into the Hungarian National Mainframe and disbanded the nation, and was killed numerous times by the taskforce. This directly led to the formation of Austria-Hungary.
On the 9/9/21, the Alekistani Special Task Force IC-MC-001 played a vital role in crushing the rebellion in Sicily, the leader Imperial_Block was given asylum in the city of Tripoli whilst the Task Force dealt with the rebels, executing them in the Black Sea, and later in Siberia. The rebels then attempted to hide in a small house in Sicily, blocking entry to the Task Force. The Task Force managed to use their professional expertise to force entry and terms were agreed between Imperial_Block and the rebels, Sicily was made an ally of Alekistan, after the terms were agreed the rebels were permitted to rejoin Sicily.
The third operation of the Special Task Force IC-MC-001 was the occupation of Budapest on the 14/9/21. This was a smaller and much shorter operation than the previous two. The occupation was due to the Austro-Hungarian empire allegedly destroying Alekistani bamboo in the end dimension, an operation of the Bamboo Service. There was little conflict and the task force eventually decided to build a small wall of bamboo to the north of the palace as a reminder of the greatness of bamboo and that it’s destruction was strongly advised against.
====Operations of the Alekistan Army====
The Alekistan Army is an organisation separate from the Special Task force. The army defends the state of Alekistan from attack and is used for the expansion of Alekistan into other nations territory. Any member may be a part of the army when the occasion arises, however this has only occurred once in Alekistans history.
The only operation of the Army of Alekistan was on the 17th of October during the Alekistan-Alekian war. The army consisted of TheLetterH, IcyMC, Redstone Rob, Ventuj and FilthyFranklin. They were successful and the Alekistan Army executed the enemy soldier Carmichael in a firing squad using AK-47s.
