== History ==
=== Early history ===
Dracoria was initially founded, as Ubinox Norilda, a merchant, traveled south in search of trade. He came across a group of people, by the name of Ashalians, who were isolated at that time. Ubinox brought some of his revolutionary ideas amongst the Ashalians, loosening the leader, Thrain Troson's grip. Trying to not lose his power, Thrain decided to work with Ubinox in trying to preserve his grip over the region. This cooperation led to the creation of the republic.
At its early weeks, Dracoria was mainly controlled by Ubinox Norilda , who organized mass immigration programs and improvments to the capital Ashalisk. Two citizens in Ashalisk, namely Caz and Shinji became the apple of his eye as he recruited the two for expansion projects in Ashalisk. Soon, Caz and Shinji became the main contributers to the city's infrastructure.
During these times, Thrain Troson got into a diplomatic treaty with a few other nations about the same size of Dracoria. This treaty was called: "The treaty of the five headed dragon" which was initially meant to bring a mass number of citizens to Dracoria. This plan eventually failed in the future.
It was also this time that Ashalisk picked up on the ideas of industries, specially ones regarding cacti. They dug underground rooms, in which they built one of the region's biggest cactus farms. Cactus now is a symbol of Dracoria's economical progress.
=== First government ===
After a couple of weeks, seeing Dracoria's constant success, Ubinox and his team of government (Known as the "the first government"): Thrain and Eric, created the first senate and wrote the . The senate however, reached a problem in the region. A big nation by the name of Aesilandri (At that time Calarith) surounded their capital Ashalisk. Eric tried everything in his power to reach a diplomatic compromise over the sovereignty of Dracoria, but every attempt failed, leading to Dracoria joining Aesilandri on May 18th, 2024. Shortly after, the first constitution of the republic of Dracoria was published to the masses on May 22nd, 2024.
On May 25th, 2024, the first government and its full list of senators and ministers were chosen, with Eric Voidson becoming supreme senator and giving a speech, in the newly build senate, with his speech ending with the most memorable quote: "You can't build a republic, on the "you died" screen."
For the next two months, Dracoria was left in diplomatic isolation, as the nation focused more on their culture and internals economy.
=== Caz's reforms ===
It was the second senate which saw Dracoria's first democratic elections. The elections eventually resulted in Caz gaining control over the newly built city of Zekash. He went on to become the second supreme senator of Dracoria on July 25th, 2024.
Caz carefully picked each minister to be competent and loyal to Dracoria, resulting in astonoshing progress in economy, military and cultural progress. It was in this period where Dracoria saw most of its population, economic, cultural and religious growth. The town of Zekash proved to be a success.
Caz brought Dracoria into the world stage, taking on huge building, cultural and financial projects with Ubinox (second senator of Ashalisk) and Koruina (minister of culture) being at the center of his projects. Caz sought to bring Dracoria out of its diplomatic and international isolation using Dracoria's industries and reaching internal stability.
He conducted several meetings with the senators and ministers of Dracoria to solve many issues within the first constitution of Dracoria and publish an edited better version. The meetings took place a week before the new constitution was written by Cazzy and published on 9th of August 2024.
==== Dracorian independence ====
After the retirement of emperor Nihilis from the "Fifth federation of Aesilandri", vice emperor Racy took over his place, however the distrust in the federal government grew more and more everyday by every state within Aesilandri. For this reason, it shortly collapsed with most of the nations declaring independence.
During this time, emperor Racy decided to form "the republic of Saekrea" as Aesilandri's true successor with the states: Vicoris, Dracoria and Licetiusta being a part of this republic as a last ditch effort to keep what remains of Aesilandri. His plans failed due to pressure from the states and it was at this time, that the third republican senate of Dracoria came to a decision. The senate decided to declare independence.
Dracoria's independence at the time was looked down upon by a newly formed nation of "The first order of Nexarith" (Soon renamed to "The first order of Aesilandri"), since this nation expected Dracoria to rejoin the order as a state, however the senate decided to keep their independence and ability to freely conduct diplomacy.
Soon after the decleration of independence huge plans were made by the minister of economy, Onkzy and the minister of culture, Koruina to bring glory to the now independent name of Dracoria. These plans were then executed with the help of senator Ubinox.
==== Raid of Ashalisk ====
The "Raid of Ashalisk", also known as "The Battle of NifHol", took place on the night of September 28th. The raid lasted for about an hour and saw Ashalisk getting overwhelmed by a large group of mercenaries, the exact number unknown, many of whom from the group Aragotha. At this time the minister of security and the general of the guardians of the republic, Nifren, had just finished attending an event in Ashalisk. This event was the trial of Bjorn Troson after he was accused of hate speech.
As the trial concluded, the judge of the trial, Beth, was killed by an attacker who had previously gone unnoticed. In the beginning, chaos and confusion stirred as the deafening sound of forces marching into Ashalisk was heard. The crowd from the trial dispersed, fortifying themselves in the nearest building. Some, including cultural minister Koruina Ekvard, and security minister Nifren, ran for their homes to find weapons. Koruina snuck into another building to shoot at the attackers from above, while Nifren gathered everyone attending Bjorn's trial, including Bjorn himself into an unarmed but dangerous force to counter the Aragothan forces. During the battle, some defenders, thinking quickly, ran down to the nation's famous cactus farm, procuring buckets of lava to melt the armor off the attackers. Soon, the defenders, led by Nifren, set a bait for the attacking forces, making them follow a player into a deep hole that would kill them from the fall damage and they then finished off the living soldiers with a hot bucket of lava.
Him being unarmed, fighting against an army of fully armed mercenary forces and being successful at defending Ashalisk made Nifren a national hero.
== Culture ==
The Dracorian culture was most developed during the "period of the cold" and the reforms minister Koruina Ekvard brought to how culture is handled. She centralized the Dracorian culture and its religion of Laethonite and worked with the second minister of infrastructure Aquilon to build holy temples in Dracoria and Vicoris and spread the word of Laethonite across the continent. 
After the arrival of a new member called Danial Slayer he brought along his own religion that has also spread among the members of the state called Obcidism. Even though the two religions contradict each other they are at peace as they both see spirits as to be worshiped. 
The culture of Dracoria is a combination of heavily a emphasized importance of community and values of brotherhood and physical activity in the means of serving the community. It has led to the politics of the nation leaning on the ideas of socialism.
