== History ==
Shortly after the Revolution which saw the Collapse of the Alexandervich Dynasty's rule over the ANSR (Nasovyczas), Jacov Alexandervich, whom would rename himself to Alexander, would soon get married into a Royal house known as the House of Romatrov - Velichi, a influence and Dominant Noble house within the Archonate of Orion and the Order of Caliban, with the house owning the town of Velichiye.

Shortly after the Order of Calibans Vassalisation into the Orion Sphere of Influence, Refugee's fleeing from the comming crisis within Ischanor and the Revolution within Nasovyczas would see a new influx of citizens as the Calibani Government would begin to recognise the growing ethnic group, whom were begining to call themselves the " Velichians ", flying under the banner of the town of Velichiye and by extension, the Royal house of Romatrov - Velichi. This would finally see the Government of the Order and Orion deciding that enough was enough and would finally recognise the City of Velichiye as a newly created nation known as the Duchy of Velichia, a vassal of the 2 states.

However.. At the age of 49, Alexander would die of a heart attack, resulting in a 3 day period of mourning.
==== Predecessor of Chicklandia ====
Shortly after the Death of Alexander Romatrov - Velichi, the predecessor to the Empire of Chicklandia, led by 5n00b, would take ownership over the town, with it, new ruins of the civilization would appear as the mostly Velichian state would slowly devolve into a civilwaring mess, with Velichian rebel groups and Pre-Chicklandian groups fighting it out over the reigns of the 2 claims. Eventually, the civilwar would end with the victory of the Velichians.
=== Post Chicklandian Velichia ===
Shortly after the fall of 5n00bs reign over the city of Velichiye, the Velichians would once again become controlled, this time by Formery mayor Aop15, whom, would begin construction on the first ever house under his reign, and would also be the one to create a Cobblestone building which would be known as the " Commie block " due to the fact that it reminded people of the Soviet " Commie blocks " that were built throughout the communist reigns over Easter and Central Europe.
