# **History of ICMK**

## The Dawn of Imperial Coalition of Maltese Knights {ICMK} in Dennis;The Reign of Emperor Daviesolu

Daviesolu who was previously a member of Polaris in NaR decided to leave the alliance due to the state of the alliance after the war and with this singular decision lead to the establishment of a coalition that has already declared its existence in a similar nation's simulation game.

ICMK without any diversity in structure and ideas from the ICMK in the other world was established in Dennis by Daviesolu the first Emperor of the Coalition in both worlds on the 25th of May, 2022.

Hours after the establishment of the community, ensuring the protection of the alliance while setting the foundation of the coalition to seek a stable rise without much interference, Daviesolu discussed and signed a protectorate treaty with the AlmightyGrub, the Emperor of Polaris. Slowly gaining members but steady at it, ICMK moved towards top of the Dennis score ranking at an arguable fast rate.

Roughly two weeks after signing a protectorate treaty with Polaris, the treaty became defunct as ICMK requested to leave the treaty due to the fact that Polaris state on the foreign stage hasn't changed positively and the lack of zeal to engage and assist ICMK in every aspect as the protector was quite obvious. Few hours after the request was acknowledged by Polaris, ICMK was picked up by Digital Dopamine [DD]
