The Authority

Due to the original Wiki page being removed on behalf of certain individuals, we have decided to re-upload it. That does not mean that all information will be uploaded, as plenty of it is lost.
== Introduction: The Backstory ==
The Authority can date its original foundation back to Vzech (and previous groups considered Cryzecian). After Vzech, the group became Tau Neutrino before settling on the Authority name. 
Although Vzech did not have a major political affiliation, the nation began flirting with Fascism during the Tau Neutrino period. It is believed that during this early era the faction was still active on Garry's Mod.
== The Authority ==
The Authority was born on July 13th, 2018. During this era, the nation went through three major ideological changes, these being: i) National Populism, an alternative to National Socialism created by Oongi (Crysis) himself, ii) Technocratic Nationalism, a moderate form of Fascism with technocratic elements, and lastly iii) National Socialism, due to a good portion of its membership supporting that ideology. 
Although the Authority had plans on entering Garry's Mod like the previous Cryzecian groups, the campaign fell apart quickly with Oongi (Crysis) shifting his focus from Gmod to Discord and the game "Kerbal Space Program" alongside with co-leader March. 
== Downfall and collapse ==
Although the nation seemed to prosper during its time on Discord, Oongi announced his resignation as Führer on 10th of August 2019, and officially resigned on the next day. Although still stayed around, his activity was getting lower and lower.
Unfortunately history is not well-documented after this point, but it is known that the next appointed leaders were High Brow, Der Kampf and lastly Apollon. These individuals introduced a few reforms and fixed some errors in the Discord server, although their time as leaders was not sufficient enough for them to enact major changes. The Authority fell apart and disbanded later on the year.
== Controversial allegations ==
After the Authority was disbanded, former founder Oongi (Crysis) proceeded to go into hiding and avoided all contact with former Authority members. According to him, this happened due to certain factors that harmed him during his leadership in the Authority; he was allegedly forced to adopt the Fascist ideology by other high command members, and was also threatened by fellow admins, mostly veteran ones. 
To this day, it remains unclear if the above statements are true or not. Even though it is certain that Crysis was in fact negatively affected, most evidence leads to the conclusion that he was still in partial control of the group, and not a mere frontsman. According to former co-leader Der Wolf - previous friend of his, Oongi was interested in Fascism and wanted to learn more about it. Other speculations include Crysis feeling the lack of freedom to enact changes on his own, due to the community being Fascist-oriented, and eventually growing tired of his role as leader.
== Post-Disbandment ==
After the disbandment of the Authority, most former commanders lost contact with each other for plenty of years. None of them pursued further activity in Garry's Mod, except for Crysis who created the Second Cryzecian Republic, as well as the Valkyrian Ascendancy in 2020 and onward.
Unfortunately, due to his feelings about the former community, Crysis deleted most of The Authority's history and dubbed the regime as a "Reign of Terror". As part of this, his new Valkyrian faction prohibited the publishing of any historical archives from the Authority era and censored all mentions of it. 
It wasn't until 2021 that the Authority's legacy would be brought back, with the creation of the Cryzecian Authority. Certain historical archives were restored by Der Kampf, Der Wolf, Apollon and Heinrich Kling. The Cryzecian Authority had established its presence on Garry's Mod during June and is currently an active faction in the meta.
== Conclusion ==
Some may call the Authority a controversial group, some may just call it "Fascist", but to most people concerned, the Authority bears a strong legacy, with the Cryzecians having a history of over six years. It is only fair that such history should be protected, so it will not go through another purge and be lost.
