Cryzecian Authority

The Cryzecian Authority (aka Cryzecia or The Authority), founded in July 15 2021, is a community in Discord and formerly the Gmod meta, and is currently the last remaining group of Cryzecian origin. The Cryzecian Authority bears the legacies of two once-allied communities, the Authority and the Greater German Empire, founded by Crysis and Heinrich Kling respectively. Cryzecia left the Garry's Mod Meta upon defeat in battle and due to very low interest, on 9/11/2022. Cryzecia was nuked and officially disbanded on 25/3/2023. 
==Garry's Mod History==
The Cryzecian Authority would begin it's official Gmod activities on June 19th 2022 with their first deployment on Purple's sandbox with the help of a former ally which has been helping them get themselves situated in the meta with tech and other things, CRZ is in a decent position regarding ACF tech due to the previously mentioned ally.
===First deployments on Purple's Sandbox ===
CRZ had it's first ever deployment on Purple's Sandbox on June 19th 2022, with 4 people active on there, they used their tanks and established their presence within the local player base. While on Purple's CRZ interacted with local players and a superadmin on there which allowed their presence on the server. The initial deployment was deemed as a success and plans for next deployments were laid down. The following screenshots were taken on that day, too. CRZ was once again on Purple's Sandbox the next day on June 20th 2022, but this time only 2 people attended, they had a skirmish between themselves for fun and started work on the first Cryzec outpost. They also interacted more with the locals. This was deemed a success.
===Further deployments ===
CRZ had deployed further on Purple's Sandbox, this time with up to 4 members, and had also finished construction of two outposts. During this time, CRZ was able to develop three handheld weapons and a light tank.
===F.A.R.M. merge into CRZ===
On July 12th 2022, after the Anti-LARP war ended, the Federated Action Recon Marines had reached Cryzecia in order to merge into it. Following some brief discussion between the leaders Melon and Apollon, the merge was fully accepted and F.A.R.M. members joined Cryzecia; ACF and vanilla equipment were also transferred. The F.A.R.M. merge has proven highly beneficial to the Cryzecian Authority, both as a community and as a meta faction.
===Relocation to Arcane Sandbox===
The Cryzecian Authority decided to relocate, thus moving its capital from Purple's Sandbox to Arcane Sandbox, out of respect to pre-existing territorial claims. Arcane Sandbox is now officially listed as the home and capital server of the Cryzecians. The Arcane Sandbox server has full ACF capabilities and makes use of CW2.0, Simfphys, Gredwitch and more. 
===August-November Activity ===
Cryzecian activity on August has been somewhat limited to local works, such as development of vanilla technology and manufacturing of buildings. The Cryzecians have attempted to establish their own alliance twice, with the first one failing instantly, and the second one being currently limited to Discord. The Authority had diplomatically approached the Urtanesian Federation on late August. The previously declared war against CRZ by Ludasia ended with no fighting, since Phil backed off due to loss of interest. September and October have been mixed in terms of activity, with CRZ not seeing much action in Gmod itself, due to school and several real-life responsibilities of the admins. On November, Premier Apollon listed Cryzecia as a "semi-active faction" due to severe inactivity. 
===Ignored Wars===
The Cryzecian Authority has adopted a stance of ignoring any unjustified wars, first unoficially used against ACA's and Phil's declarations of war, and later on oficially stated with an announcement on 24/9. CRZ cites insufficient time to bother with pointless feuds as reason, and instead wishes to direct free time and energy towards CRZ's advancement. The most recent war declared by GPK and certain allies of theirs was initially ignored, due to the extremely malicious reasons behind this declaration, with Heinrich Kling orchestrating the situation by spreading misinformation about CRZ leader Apollon, sharing out-of-context screenshots and inside jokes; misinformation includes allegations about "pedophilia" or "being furry" among other false info. However, CRZ would later on respond to the GTO/GPK war (ultimately named the "Germanic War").
==The Germanic War==
===Battle of Arcane, first weeks===
On October 2nd, GTO/GPK and other enemies would attempt to capture Arcane, by placing several 'fortifications' and some radar devices. The takeover was initially successful due to no CRZ personnel showing up to resist. However, on October 3rd, CRZ decided to stop ignoring the GTO/GPK war, and on command of Commissioner Melon Head, would officially respond and take action. Leader Apollon, acting under military duties, would join the server and recapture it, ultimately deleting the occupiers' props (which were creating connection problems for some reason) and also establishing a small outpost. Enemy pieces of technology were also captured. GPK-CRZ sides had agreed to certain battle terms, naturally without GTO participating in the discussions. 
===Later events and outcome ===
The enemy has attempted to forcefully occupy Arcane Sandbox twice, however Cryzecians recaptured their capital both times. A turn of events happened on 9/11/2022, with the Cryzecian Authority being officially defeated in the battle of Arcane by GPK-GTO-IMR forces. The Cryzecians were heavily outnumbered and disorganised. Upon defeat, Premier Apollon and Prussian leader Andrew agreed to terms of surrender, in which the Cryzecian Authority was to accept defeat and leave the meta. However, the Arcane Sandbox server was protected by said terms and is not up for any Meta faction to occupy, but will still be hosted for members to play. Any and all GTO demands were officially ignored, which is something the GPK side agreed upon. Ultimately, the Cryzecian Authority is not going to interact with the Meta community anymore.
==September Leadership Collapse==
===Initial events===
On September 2nd, the Cryzecian Commission collapsed and was forced to rebuild. This sudden 'crash' happened due to internal issues and disagreements within the leadership over Discord server management issues and policies. Specifically, a Cryzecian member posted a meme with very light Nazi symbolism, which prompted ex-Commissioner Heinrich Kling to imprison and even consider banning them. This action was deemed highly unfair by Premier Apollon, a protest which later on lead to general infighting, with two administrators each pointing out their own criticism about Apollon's leadership and mistakes; this ultimately resulted into Heinrich Kling and Masaru resigning. Afterwards, ex-leader Heinrich left in rage, after being kicked from a groupchat he was constantly spamming in, and defected to the Greater Prussian Kingdom. 
=== Leadership reformation and onward===
The Commission was reformed with the addition of Melon Head to the team, and ZeroFive returned as high-ranking official. Heinrich proceeded to send gore imagery to Apollon and further threaten CRZ, as well as create a splinter group of the Greater German Empire branch. Their page, Greater Teutonic Order, presents an extremely biased version of the story and doesn't mention the wrongdoings of the former admin. It is worth noting that Heinrich's attempt of removing GGE's association from Cryzecia has no actual basis, since GGE's legacy was carried on by a certain Old Guard, including Kling, Apollon, Otto Haufmann, Masaru, and others.
===Heinrich's ban and aftermath===
On September 24th, around 18:00 PDT (Discord's time), Heinrich got banned from his Discord account. This is due to Apollon reporting Heinrich's post of gore, back on September 3rd. Discord took around 21 days to take action. The day he got banned is coincidentally the same he declared war against CRZ, which prompted him to believe he was "mass-reported because of the war". This statement is however false because Discord never takes action based on reports that fast. If this was true, Heinrich would be banned within a couple of hours after the report, which is not possible. On September 25th, Heinrich doxxed Apollon by leaking personal information such as name, age and some photos, an action which proves his malicious intentions. 
== The Cryzecian Collapse ==
On 25/3/2023, former Cryzecian administrator "Grand-Crow", taking advantage of the server's lack of ownership and scheming with others such as Chitose and Heinrich Kling, initiated the nuke of both Cryzecian servers (archived and new one), supposedly due to the Cryzecian project being dead and causing distress. It was later revealed that these preparators, including Melon Head, were working under a Discord clan named "The Second Regiment", owned by "Kurovortex". According to Melon Head "In the hour of planning we had, it wasn't properly thought out, so the only option was to nuke, what I was hoping right after the nuke, a new server be made to migrate to, although one was never made, so we all just accepted the fate of the already dying CRZ." 
Ex-Premier of CRZ Apollon issued an official statement on the ruins of the Phoenix Syndicate alliance server, stating that both Cryzecia and the Syndicate are no more, and that any new communities branded under the title of Cryzecia are most definitely to be illegitimate and handled by enemies of the original Authority. The former leader also left an additional note stating that Cryzecia was not defeated by enemies or any clanners/hackers but betrayed by its own admins. No other statements have been made following this, and the fate of the Cryzecian as an online "branding" remains unknown - most likely to be sealed in history. 
=== Oskar's Documentary ===
Right after the collapse of the last Cryzecian faction, Oskar's channel, the Order of Guardsmen, published a video explaining the history, the rise and fall of the original Authority and its legitimate successors, as well as additional notes on Wilhelm's devious groups and activities. Premier Apollon was surprised that the video contained little to no personal comments and presented the history without bias, thus is to be considered as a legit and well-documented description of our history.

==Pre-Gmod History==
===Predecessors===
The legacy of the Cryzecian Authority dates all the way back to 2018, with its preceding Discord communities being the Authority and the Greater German Empire. These servers shared many similarities at the time, for example their right-wing ideology, German theme, authoritarian government and common enemies. They lasted until late 2019, and were disbanded afterwards.
===Foundation===
The Cryzecian Authority was founded in July 15 2021 under the name of "State of Cryzecia". Its leadership, an oligarchic council of five members, known as "05 Commission", worked on establishing the community's presence within Discord, and gathered a proper amount of members. The early stages mostly consisted of mass partnerships, diplomatic talks and inviting friends. The lower governance included democratic functions, with parliamentary representatives being elected every two weeks.
===Victory Day===
The Cryzecian Victory Day is celebrated on December 6th, after the state's most notable enemy, Wilhelm Keitel, published an apology for his wrongdoings, mainly pedophilia and abusing his server's own staff. Although his apology was proven pointless as he never fixed his behaviour, the day is still considered a victory and marks the downfall of Keitel's popularity - the Keitelist community would later on die out due to inactivity and banwaves. 
===Reclamation of "The Authority" and onwards===
On January 20th of 2022, Cryzecia reclaimed its former title of the Authority and officially renamed itself to "The Cryzecian Authority". This is a historical event as it brought the Cryzecians closer to properly reclaiming their legacy. Aside from that, elections were abolished as they weren't efficient, and new reforms took place. The community went through plenty of crises, mainly the Commission Crisis, the Clan Raids, Keitel's declaration of war, and the May/June Political Crisis. On March 4th, Cryzecia transformed itself into a standalone community and distanced itself from mock-governments. On April of 2022, the Cryzecian Authority stated their plans for joining Garry's Mod and expanding into the Steam platform.
=== May/June Political Crisis ===
The May/June Political Crisis consists of a series of events taking place prior to Cryzecia joining Garry's Mod. During this period, TA veterans Der Wolf and Der Kampf were re-allowed back into the Cryzecian Authority after their previous ban. They sought to participate in the political mechanisms of Cryzecia and radically change them to resemble the ones of the previous Authority. These actions, combined with TOS-breaking behaviour, resulted into general political chaos. The leadership was split into two sides, the ones asking for the immediate expulsion of Der Wolf and Der Kampf, and the ones seeking to negotiate their stay on more friendly terms. The leadership refused to abolish the oligarchy and change the entire political system to a third-positionist dictatorship, as their party (the Cryzecian Labour Front) requested, mainly due to the facts that Discord would most likely ban the server quite quickly after such reform, and also that the pre-existing governance system was in place since its creation, something everyone was used to it. In the end, rapidly-growing discontent and political turbulence led to the Cryzecian Labour Front leaving en-masse (on their own will) and its leaders exiled afterwards. 
The outcome of this marked the start of an almost 6-months conflict between Cryzecia and Der Wolf/Der Kampf (under the Trollwanger Brigade), and ultimately the harsh enforcement of security rules in the borders of CRZ. The postmortem analysis of these events indicates that Der Wolf, even though his intentions have been extremely hostile against CRZ at times, was in fact correct about the oligarchy being flawed and prone to personal mistakes and infighting. Premier Apollon later on admitted this with a comment on the TA history video. However, it is worth noting there was no real option as Discord's extreme ToS and censorship would not allow Cryzecia to develop under a reformed third-position/Fascist government.
