Applernia

The United Republic of Applernia, also known as the URA, is a country in northwest Eldham. It's capital is the city of Pommevernia, and it operates as a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

It's predecessor state was the United Empire, which collapsed after a coup against Emperor Neoz. The area has now been renamed and reconstructed as The Republic of Applernia to pay respects to Apple Harbor and Waymanite’s death and legacy.

## History

### **Origins**

#### **Apple Harbor**

*“Long live the empire.”*

*-* Neoz

Applernia’s origins go far back to to The United Empire of Akratia, located in the sub-continent Sparwood. The nation was lead by Neoz, a highly confident leader who sought to rule Sparwood.

Two of the citizens of Akratia, Waymanites and Apy1z, migrated to the coast of Sparwood to get away from the city’s focus on fighting, and they got to work and built Apple Harbor, planning to make it double as a town and trading center. Overtime, the population grew and the harbor’s size increased, leading to a generally happy town, the town’s stance on war was one of the main highlights, as it was neutral and provided a safe-space for everyone.

However, Akratia fell and the nation was split into regions, which caused panic within the harbor as the bandit massacres were at their peak. When the United Kingdoms rose shortly after this, Waymanites & Apy1z agreed to join due to fears of not being able to protect he selves from intruders.

#### **The United Kingdoms**

*“Just so you all know, I was constantly fighting for you guys in the crowns and shit.*

*I paid 150k so you could gain land, I never imposed any taxes, never made you come to any war, and you people repay me by stabbing me in the back and allying yourselves with the very man that discrated my holy land and enslaved my people.”*

- Creghton

Apple Harbor then calmed down as tensions eased, especially since the bandits’ disappearance, and Apple Harbor become more social with the UK’s other citizens, and all was fine.

Then, a trial was being hosted by the UK, which had several defendants, including FatChatap, a trusted ally of Apple Harbor due to their actions of training them in combat, were being accused for a murder conspiracy. Apple Harbor’s citizens openly expressed disgust of the accusations surrounding FatChatap, supporting FatChatap in the case. While FatChatap was the only one found not guilty, Apple Harbor’s relationship with the UK was harmed.

Following the event, AZebraMooMoo, resident of Apple Harbor and future president, started open protests against the UK, demanding Apple Harbor separate and listed reasons to convince the citizens. Waymanites eventually was fined by the UK, for colonizing a island due to a misunderstanding, furthering hindering the relationship with Apple Harbor and the UK.

It was during this time when an important individual was beginning to come out of the shadows…

#### **The United Empire**

*“It is with a sad heart that I announce to everyone here that Apple Harbor will leave Old Rathnir, for good. As said, Apple Harbor isn't a place, it's a people, and that applies here. We are done with the United Kingdom, with Eok, and with everyone on this side of Rathnir. It is because of this that all citizens of Apple Harbor are now to leave to the New World, to rebuild our people free from oppresion. A new start for us.”*

- Waymanites

Apple Harbor began to deviate from the UK, as every resident in Apple Harbor protested against them. Waymanites was in discussions with Neoz, who was thought to be dead, that Akratia should be brought back to it’s former glory.

However, a new continent was discovered, Eldham, and it was the perfect escape from the UK. All of the citizens were discrete when it was announced that there would be a new colony traveling to Eldham to colonize an area of land. But when the UK caught wind of this, they immediately terminated their alliance and Creghton threaten the town, calling that Waymanites to be killed and Apple Harbor is now their possession, forcing everyone to either move to Eldham, die, or submit to the UK.

With Neoz announcing his return, he revealed he faked his death and will be leading the people of Apple Harbor to Eldham, hoping to continue his empire as the new United Empire. With the nation set up in Eldham, many towns popped up such as Waymanite’s Pommeveria and AZebraMooMoo’s Rocklia, and the center of it all, New Eaksor.

Then, Neoz got caught up in conflict with the ARS (Anti-Radical Syndicate), because of the imperialistic and expansionist ideals of the nation. The citizens of The United Empire began to believe if Neoz isn’t the right leader for them.

Eventually, Waymanites overthrown Neoz and renamed the nation as The State of Applernia, in respects to Apple Harbor. However, despite the new colony beginning to control their future, Waymanites died the following day in his sleep, sending the citizens in a panic.

AZebraMooMoo was selected to temporarily control the situation, resolving conflict with the ARS. Zoobaby, one of the most trusted citizens, wrote the constitution for Applernia, now declared as The Republic of Applernia.

### The New Rule

#### A Bright Future

*“Neoz was a very flawed man, and that’s why we took over. But taking over is not enough. ARS, I call out to you, please answer us, we want to work with you. We hope that in the future we can be much cooler and will listen to claims of our land. I would really like to give land back to natives if they have evidence that they had a town there before we came. I want to right the wrongs and pain that Neoz caused, so please ARS, open up negotiations.”*

*-* AZebraMooMoo

After the five day break from recent events, Applernia become stable and had their first elections.

The elections results ended with Zoobaby becoming president, and shortly after they announced a road project, the AAF (Applerian Armed Forces) and overall a more pleasant time at Applernia.

Relatively, there was little conflict during this time and developments on towns were getting on track, and a funeral was held for Waymanites.

#### Akratian Conquest

*“Due to risk of damage to internal stability, and international diplomacy and relations, an indefinite ban on a multitude of individuals shall be implemented starting on this day. These individuals listed shall not be legally authorized to enter the borders of the Republic of Applernia, or they will be faced with criminal prosecution.”*

- Zoobaby

Suddenly, midway through Zoobaby’s term, Neoz arrived in Applernia. He revealed he is once again creating a new empire in Rathnir and asked volunteers to come with him while he will make the ones who refuse pay with their life. A large sum of Applernia’s citizens turned to Neoz, drastically hitting the population of Applernia. AZebraMooMoo quickly sent a spy to make sure things are stable and Zoobaby issued the first executive order, to ban all of Neoz’s followers from being in Applernia.

During this time, Applernia turned to their recent ally Sethris, and they reached an agreement. Applernia will be annexed into Sethris as an autonomous republic, and they will combine their efforts into protecting each other from dangers.

#### A Uncertain Future

*“Aye, I’m the first ever Vice President!”*

- Superior Hammer

Elections occurred shortly after the annexation, with AZebraMooMoo winning, with the marketing based around protecting Applernia from Neoz. Superior Hammer, a trusted citizen, was elected as Vice President shortly after. AZebraMooMoo announced the AAI (Applerian Active Incentive) to help boost the overall activeness of the nation after the conflict with Neoz left them with a small population.

Another election occurred after some time, with Pinvheel, a Setherian citizen, winning the polls and becoming president, as well as selecting SuperiorHammer to become Vice President once again.

AZebraMooMoo also announced they would leave Applernia for Rathnir, leaving the city of Rocklia to SuperiorHammer.
