**Aurum-Chrysos** (Aurumean Latin: Aurum-Chrisus); Chrysosan Greek: Ourum-Chrysos, officially the **Kingdom of Aurum-Chrysos**, known as the **Kingdom of D'Ourume** to foreigners, is a country in North America. It is bordered by the Alphonse Bay to the west, the Protectorate of Nunatsuak to the east, the Haudenosaunee Confederation to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It covers an area of 1.075 million km2 and has a population of more than 15 million, making it the most densely populated country in North America and the 17th most densely populated country in the Americas, with a density of 376 per square kilometre (970/sq mi). The capital and largest city is Oro City; other major cities are Mine City, Oreville d'este, Chateau, and St. Denis.

Aurum-Chrysos is a sovereign state and a Federal directorial semi-constitutional monarchy under a limited autocracy with a parliamentary system. Its subdivisions are structured on both regional and linguistic grounds. It is divided into five states: the Capitol State (Oro City) consisting of both Aurumeans and Chrysosans, the Upper Meinèrie State (Ost Meinèrie City) consisting of a genuine mix between Aurumean and Chrysosan people, the Lower Meinèrie State (Es Meinèrie City) consisting of mostly Chrysosan people, the Sontagne State (Oreville d'este) consisting of purely Aurumean people, the Côte d' Or State (Chateau Village) consisting of a dominant ethnic group of Aurumean people, the Îles du Roi Jean State (Bote al Mar) consisting mostly of Chrysosan people with some Aurumean people, the Winlans State (St. Denis) consisting of all Chrysosan people, and the Sierra State (Baffin) consisting of a mix of Aurumean and Chrysosan peoples. Oro City is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of GDP per capita.

## History

### Early history

Before the formation of the Aurumean and Chrysosan people, the land where Aurum-Chrysos is on was part of a nation known as Canada. The heartland of Aurum-Chrysos was art of a Canadian province named Quebec.

After the Apocalypse, humanity in Quebec ceased to exist. Over the Second Dark Age, many genetic mutations between survivors and nature were formed, most notably the Grootian people. Over 1,000 years after the Apocalypse of Earth, colonists from "a wasteland to the east" sailed and formed various port cities, establishing a civilization. There were notably two ethnic groups. One was from "a land with water on all three sides" and another was from "a land of scattered islands". The first may be a reference to the Italian peninsula and the second a reference to Greece. The ethnicity from the peninsula were known as Aurumeans and the ethnicity from the scattered islands were known as Chrysosans.

### Sabatae Dynasty and Anarchy

Even though the Aurumeans and Chrysosans warred constantly, the people were united under a man who was born of both groups. An early legend depicts this man being 8 feet tall with a pale white face and a beard like a snake. Although his physical representation is legend, the fact he formed the Sabatae Dynasty and became the first King of both ethnicities was true.

The Sabatae Dynasty ruled for over 500 years and the time period was regarded as a Golden Age in history. Although not the official name, Aurum-Chrysos was used for the first time during this period.

After over 500 years had passed, the last King of the Sabatae Dynasty died with 10 heirs and no specific one to take over the now vacant throne. The Ten Heirs fought each other in a civil war now known as the "10-Heir War". The civil war had devastating impacts on the common people of Aurum-Chrysos, and many ended up going into hiding or fleeing the country.

Eventually, 9 heirs to the throne were killed, with the last surviving and taking the throne of the Sabatae Dynasty. However, the people of Aurum-Chrysos revolted against the monarchy and founded a short-lived "Republic of Aurum" in Aurumean land. The Republic was known to be an aristocratic republic and was soon overthrown by the commoners. With the fragmentation of the republic, the Chrysosans took advantage of the disarrayed Aurumeans and destroyed their cities. The Grootian Tribe in the north saw the chaos and launched a massive assault on the Chrysosan army, killing over 300,000 soldiers. Aurumeans elected a new Secretariat who became a dictator. The dictator advanced into Chrysosan territory and killed many commoners, sparking a Chrysosan revolt against the government. The Grand Prince of Chrysos was overthrown and the Chrysosan people flared into Anarchy. Meanwhile, the Aurumean Dictator was killed in battle and with no leader, the Aurumeans descended into Anarchy as well.

### Labradorian Rule

With the constant anarchy in both the Aurumean and Chrysosan lands, the Labradorian people, an ethnic group from an "island to the east above the wasteland", possibly referring to Britain, took advantage of the Aurumean and Chrysosan anarchy. Forming an Empire and a massive army, the Empire of Labradoria quickly subjugated the people of Aurum-Chrysos and conquered vast swaths of what is now Aurum-Chrysosan land. The Empire of Labradoria finally conquered Oro City and made it it's capital and seat of power. The Labradorian people were oppressive to the indigenous Aurum and Chrysosan people. Many were locked up in concentration mining camps while some were forced to assimilate with the Labradorian people. The Labradorian government eliminated anyone who seemed like an opponent, including the Grootians. The Great Grootist Genocide of 21 BDI marked the end of the Grootist age and the beginning of the Labradorian Age.

### Independence

In 1 BDI, an underground organization plotted to reclaim Oro City in the name of the Aurum and Chrysos people. Their leader, Jean, rallied a large number of Aurumean and Chrysosans in the Main Plaza to protest Labradorian taxes. The event escalated and soon enough, Aurumeans and Chrysosans were fighting a number of skirmishes in Oro City. To prevent any harm to the Labradorian government and royal family, they fled to the Sontagne State and eventually back to their native Labradoria. The rebellion succeeded but at the cost of many lives, Labradorian, Aurumean, and Chrysosan people.

After reclaiming Oro City, Jean declared Oro City an independent nation named Ourum-Chrysus. However, he wanted to expand the new nation into the Aurumean and Chrysosan people-populated regions. After embarking on a year-long expedition to unite the tribal lands of Aurum-Chrysos, the Independence Council (later the Royal Council) crowned Jean the king of the new state known as Aurum-Chrysos. After the coronation, Labradoria officially recognized the new kingdom and withdrew from their western coastal lands, leaving a number of No-Man's land. The Aurum-Chrysosan army quickly surged through, conquering the lands and claiming them for King Jean.

### Modernization and Exploration

During the time between 0 ADI and 22 ADI, the nation went under heavy modernization reforms. Although the nation was still underdeveloped due to lack of communication, Oro City became a large and modern city through gold trade. During this time, Aurum-Chrysos rapidly expanded itself to its modern size, taking colonies in Baffin Island and making a weakened Labradoria a puppet of Aurum-Chrysos. Eventually, the city grew to be so rich that a new Grootist generation arose to claim the treasures. The Grootists ambushed Oro City, forcing King Jean III to send his son, Jean-Alphonse, to the Internet to seek help.

After acquiring some new allies, Aurum-Chrysos became affiliated in the Azure Alliance after the Discordian conflict. Although Aurum-Chrysos didn't participate in the various conflicts, they did sent diplomatic support to the Internet. Following the signing of the Treaty, the government of Aurum-Chrysos grew paranoid that a similar treaty would be imposed on Aurum-Chrysos. To stop this, a Treaty of Isolation was drafted and was ratified by Discordian, Alpian, and Internetian diplomats. Although the treaty of Isolation was meant to isolate the nation from the world, people from other nations were still allowed to come and settle down. During this time, Aurum-Chrysos was admitted as the 18th United Discords Nation-State.

Soon after the Treaty of Isolation was put into effect, a Grootist uprising led by Chief Groot IV destroyed much of Oro City and killed the King and Queen of Aurum-Chrysos. The Crown Prince of Aurum-Chrysos was in Internetia at the time and journeyed back to take the throne. After doing so, Jean-Alphonse instigated a purge on all Grootists and supposed collaborators.

After two weeks into the reign of King Jean-Alphonse I, the deadly Gisen-21 Virus spread to Aurum-Chrysos. The virus effectively put everything on lockdown for 5 days before a vaccine was created by an Ungavan doctor. However, the doctor was trapped in Grootist-held territory and the vaccine was shipped through an underground operation. The vaccine was proven successful and the Gisen-21 Virus disappeared from Aurum-Chrysos.

A few days after the Gisen-21 Virus disappeared, King Jean-Alphonse I formed the Oro City Ghetto under Royal Decree. The Ghetto was meant to hold any LGBT people, Grootist members orcollaboraters, and Illegal Immigrants. The Grootists and the Illegal Immigrants never protested the new rules as the Ghetto was not a terrible living condition. However, many LGBT members demanded an explanation and release. A public broadcast made by Prince Arthur was made to ensure the safety of the kingdom in the case of an impending attack. A police force was formed and stationed outside the ghetto in case of any riots.

### Insurgency and Growth

That night, approximately 9,000 Social Justice Warriors, Rioters, and pro-LGBT members stormed the streets destroying public property and chanting nonsense slogans. The police was sent in to quell the situation, but the rioters split as a group headed towards the Royal Palace and another group headed towards the Ghetto. The mob of 4,000 armed insurgents stormed the Royal Palace, killing guards and aiming at exterminating the Royal Family. The Royal Family escaped, but not before fire consumed much of the palace.

As a volunteer firefighter brigade was formed to stop the fire, the rest of the 5,000 insurgents made their way to the ghetto. After a decisive battle, the insurgents ended up trapped inside the LGBT Ghetto sector. For hours, the Royal Army tried to break through the barricade, but the LGBT members resisted. After about 5 hours, the SWAT team arrived on the scene and stationed with the Royal Army. King Jean-Alphonse I planned a strategic ambus around the LGBT sector as they were distracted with an attack in the front. A few members of the army and the Royal Guard circled the Ghetto and attacked from behind quietly as the SWAT team and the Police force attacked from the front. The insurgents were quelled, and the Insurrection ended after 8 hours.

A week after the insurrection ended, diplomats from the Kingdom of Time and the Walnut Kingdom signed a defensive pact known as the Oro Pact. During this time, the first elections were held and Aurum-Chrysos turned into a democracy. Although the nation had become a democratic one, many people were used to being under an Autocracy and never signed up for elections.

A few days into the Democratic Movement, Queen Marie Josepha Antoinette unexpectedly passed away from an unknown disease. Many suspect it was natural causes, as her heart had been declining for a while, but some suspect she was poisoned. A small funerary process was made and the queen was buried in the Royal Cemetery. Afterwards, King Jean-Alphonse married the Duchess and Magistrate of Iles du Roi Jean, who is known as Queen Elizabeth III.

Following the wedding, General Dyno of the First Brigade attempted a coup branded the "Dyno Coup". After seizing the Prime Ministership, he was subsequently ousted following Dhauchak supporters storming the Government Palace and the City Hall, chanting "Down With the General". Following the rioters storming the two government buildings, General Danil Truvenov was captured and imprisoned. Sanchit Dhauchak then declared himself Supreme Leader of Aurum-Chrysos and denouncing the monarchy, therefore making him an enemy of state. Following his cornerment at the City Hall, Sanchit Dhauchak attempted mass suicide/murder in the City Hall by blowing up the building. However, he survived and was captured and promptly beheaded.

Following the end of the Dyno Coup and the Dhauchak Coup, Prime Minister Otto-Benjamin was restored and the Kingdom returned to peace. The first nationwide elections are scheduled for July 20th. During this time Aurum-Chrysos became the first member of the Azure Pact.

### L'Solbergian War

L'Solberg, a small nation off the border of Aurum-Chrysos, had declared its independence 20 years prior and had earned the nickname "The Most Corrupt and Disintegrating Nation". With it's recent corrupted Election, Igor Flavakanovis gained power in L'Solberg, initiating a period of dictatorship and a reign of terror.

A few months after Igor Flavakanovis came to power as Lord Protector, he initiated a massive invasion of L'Solbergian Saulteaux, declaring war on Aurum-Chrysos. A few days later, he attacked the Kingdom of Asula to the west, initiating his own Blitzkrieg on the nation.
