Kingdom of Kamelicia

Template:Ns0
The Kingdom of Kamelicia was a state in the north of the Starting Area, along with its capital Semenivka, and played a minor role for the majority of the RP due to its low population in comparison to the nations founded earlier.

### History

The Kingdom of Kamelicia was founded north of Yeferland and Uthopia a couple of years after the beginning of the RP (Around years 4-6).

After founding Kamelicia settled a strategic point across the lake it bordered to gain sea access and founded the city of Navaria there, this expansion was for a time disputed with Uthopia which was expanding in that direction but later recognised, and a border was made between the two, later Uthopia expanded to border the mainland of Kamelicia as well and even tried to block its expansion by settling along the majority of its borderlands, whilst the state was distracted though, Kamelicia expanded north before that could happen.

While the human nations including Kamelicia were expanding to the north, the Momorian Horde was discovered. After First Contact went horribly, Momorians started a campaign south and Kamelicia was presented with an extremely dangerous existential threat, the great powers of Uthopia and Nisos exploited this and both made offers to protect the state at the cost of becoming their vassal. Kamelicia accepted the offer from Nisos, as Kamelicia feared being eventually incorporated into Uthopia like Arstotzka eventually was. Though Nisean rule was not popular either.

Kamelicia aided in building the Northern Wall, but after Utrzka settled all available land north of the country, Kamelicia focused its resources to build an extra wall along its entire border with its bigger neighbour, it also built wall both sides of the city of Navaria to protect its only access to the ocean.

After running out of expansion opportunities on the Starting Continent, Kamelicia started a search for new land to settle a colony in. Since land has already been found east of the continent, The First Kamelician Expedition sailed west in search of a new continent.

The expedition, headed by the galley "Podorozh", was successful in finding a new continent, but after returning and spreading word of a new continent, the newly found land was claimed by both Rodstecia and Kamelicia. In the race to settle the new land, the Rodstecian colony fleet arrived and built a colony before the Kamelician Second Expedition arrived. Not wanting to start a conflict with a major power, Kamelicia decided to recognise the claim and make a new expedition instead.

    The Third Kamelician Expedition was sent in a combination of Galleys and colony supply ships to both find and settle the new land. The plan was risky, and the journey was long, but it was successful, and the new land was settled and the colony of Novy Kamelicia was established.
After successfully establishing a colony in the new world and securing the opportunity of expansion, the country faced the start of the Second Great Powers War. Kamelicia joined the war on the side of its overlord - Nisos, technically forced to join by its protectorate status, but it was more than happy to join the war against its main enemy Uthropia, with massive opportunities of expansion into their territory further east.

    With the war's swift end, Kamelicia entered the peace negotiations with demands of large territorial concessions from Uthropia. The demands were mostly dismissed by the Nisean delegation, citing Kamelicia minor role in the war, but in reality due to their plans to create another puppet in former Uthropian territory. In the final peace treaty, Kamelicia was awarded small concessions in its borderlands, making its core territory more secure, as well as the Uthropian colony in the new world which was made a part of Novy Kamelicia (as it was occupied by it during the war).

During the Great Chaos (or struggle as named by Nisos), Kamelicia saw an opportunity to declare its independence from Nisos, hoping Nisos would allow it to happen due to its armies being pre-occupied elsewhere. They were correct as Nisos ignored Kamelicias independence declaration, but only right before the RP ended.

#### Other

Whilst the nation was considered a backwater in technological development for the majority of its history, it was the first nation to discover the Flintlock mechanism.

Kamelicia along with Valentina was the only nation which did not join the Clover alliance, but only because the alliance was dissolved before the government could send a delegation.

Kamelician language is mostly a copy of Ukrainian language.
