Pandrosi Free State

The Pandrosi Free State (formerly Rigdenship of Pandora) is a state that formed in 481 ABA, three hundred years after the collapse of the Pandrosi Empire. The Rigdenship was a major power for centuries, competing with Imperia and the Knight's Templar for colonies in the 6th through 9th Centuries, until the rise of the Gretian Empire.
The Pandrosi fought a 50 year war with the Gretian-Sidonian Empire from the late 1100s to the 1210s. During the upheavel of the post-war, the southern regions revolted and declared the People's Democratic Republic of Pandora, which lead to the Second Pandrosi War, which the communists won in 1237. The Rigdenship lost 60% of it's land, most of it's population, and became a secondary power.
The Third Pandrosi War ended with the Gretian-Sidonian Royalist Army, New World powers, and the Rigdens' Army devastating the People's Republic. In 1300 the Rigdenship passed to Sheprin IV, who immediately began arming for war. In 1301, the Pandrosi War of Reunification ended with a sweeping victory for the Rigdenship.
In 1303, the Rigdenship bought a large amount of old vessels from Gretia and Lirrach.
In 318KOR Pandora developed Nuclear Weapons. Seventeen years later, a string of military failures and policy missteps lead to the short Pandrosi Civil War and the formation of a military dictatorship.
