**Ball Ball Ball 3**, also referred to as **Coginnbrok**, **BBB**, and various portmanteaus of Korosechev and Rauthgreni, is a trans-regional nation in Eldham with land in Phoros and Arsine. It was created out of a merger between Korosechev and Raudgreni in order to recreate the original Ball Ball Ball, which was a merger between the Confederation of Garxijos and Rodinnbrok, which each state claims historical heritage to respectively.

Ball Ball Ball 3 officially came into existence on the 7th of November 2023 when the treaty dictating the merger between Korosechev and Rauthgreni was officially signed and ratified by both sets of leadership. Discussion had been going on between the two for several days prior about how best to combine the two governments, leading to a new government called an Anatocracy being created. The nation is federal and is composed of two states, Korosechev and Rauthgreni, which keep their laws prior to merging and are allowed to retain their ideology, but these can still be overruled by the central Ball Ball Ball 3 government.

The nation's existence pays homage to Ball Ball Ball, the brief name of Coginnbrok, which was a merger between the Confederation of Garxijos and Rodinnbrok, with both Korosechev and Rauthgreni claiming to be the main successors to these countries due to historical and cultural reasons. Both Korosechev and Rauthgreni claim a shared cultural heritage with each other due to Coginnbroks existence and have had very close relations which helped found the merge. The "3" in "Ball Ball Ball 3" derives from the fact that it is the third in the series of Ball Ball Balls. "Ball Ball Ball 2" was simply when Korosechev renamed itself. The nation's official and colloquial name is both Ball Ball Ball 3.

## History

### Background

Korosechev and Raudgreni have historically had extremely good relations due to their shared circumstances and mutual respect. Both nations are small and relatively weak nations, and both have often had to face adversity against larger opponents. There were suggestions of a merger on occasions, but these largely went nowhere due to ideological and government structure differences.

After several more months of closer and closer relations, a proposal was put forward to reform Ball Ball Ball due to the historical ties both of the countries had to their predecessor's union. This proposal began getting traction, and details about how to conduct the merge were figured out, necessitating the creation of a new type of government because of extreme differences in government structure and ideology.

### Formation

On the 6th of November 2023 a formal merger document was written up dictating the process of merging, and both Rauthgrenite Diarchs along with the Korosto of Korosechev signed and ratified the agreement. Both governments alerted their citizenships and posted an announcement regarding the merge. On November 8th, ministries would be formally created and the process for joining them was established. On November 9th, elections were opened up for citizens to apply for minister positions and for the status of People's Representative.

### Deconstruction

Upon personal perception the once Korosto of Ball Ball Ball, Kroosechev Verkov viewed the union as a hinderance to the progression of the Koro nation state and believed that the government lacked a stable direction. In the year of 295 TE Kroosechev made a worldwide announcement upon the departure of Korosechev, this leave left a ripple effect in the Union causing the region of Rosewood to also depart from Ball Ball Ball 3.

## Vexillology

The abrupt leave of Korosechev from the union elevated the Rauthgrenite state to the head and as such the national flag, dubbed “The Coginnbrok Restorationist Flag” was implemented. Though still holding Koro symbolism the banner had a reduction in the Koro orange, being replaced with the Rauthgrenite white. The gear remained though the Korosechev wheat had been removed.

The Second, once main flag of Ball Ball Ball 3 was a merger between the flags of Korosechev and Rauthgreni, each retaining their symbolism. The flag was made to fit the ratio of the original Ball Ball Ball flag, and the Rauthgreni flag was slanted to meet the dimensions, and then the Koro emblem was placed in the middle with an orange filling. The main symbols are the Gear and Wheat representing industry and agriculture working in unison together for Korosechev, and the Red & Green representing the red spruce; the national tree of Rauthgreni.
