## Basic overview

Lirvia (Lirvian: Lirvia), officially the "Crowndom of Lirvia" (Lirvian: Lirviyy kórónászag) is the third oldest country on Minepolitica. It is located to the west of Morotength, to the south of the Bottle Sea, and to the north of the Lirvo-Silindian Sea.

Lirvia is a semi-constituational monarchy under king Laksio. The first iteration of Lirvia was the First Kingdom of Artovania (this name is a reconstruction since this entity had no formal name), it was established on the 11th of May 2018, after gaining independence from the First Kingdom of Morotength.

After that, the First Kingdom of Artovania was abolished after being partitioned between the First Kingdom of Morotength & Tyobi on 19 May 2018. The Pószrón Republic was founded as a resistance to Morotengthian rule, the day of or a few days after the abolishment of the first kingdom. After that, the Second Kingdom of Artovania was established on 1 June 2018, after a revolutionary plot to regain independence was discovered by the Morotengthian king, which then sparked negotiations that made Artovania regain independence. The nation was then renamed "Artova" on 4 June 2018. The Union State of Artovotength (this name is a reconstruction as there was no official title) was established on 19 June 2018, as a union between Morotength and Artovania. The Union State of Artovotength was then dissolved on 2 August 2018 as Artovania seperated from it, then Artovania itself was dissolved on 3 August 2018, shorty before the first phase of the server ended.

At the beginning of the second phase of the server, the Crowndom of Lirvia was formed, the form of Lirvia that still exists today. Lirvia is today the strongest country on Minepolitica. It dominates the world's geopolitics, and has virtually no political challengors besides Morotength. Lirvia being one of the ancient 3 countries of Minepolitica, it’s developing it's own language and stong identity and culture, it has become one of the server's most recognizable nations.

## History

* **The first Artovanian:**

*Laksio's time in Morotength:*

The story of Lirvia starts with Laksio joining the server on 22 April 2018. He was part of the City State of Morotength in the beginning, and helped build up the city of Porstoba (today Lőv). However, he didn't see himself as part of the Morotengthian nation, a fact which he'd prove later on with the independence of the First Kingdom of Artovania.

While he was part of the City State of Morotength and the early parts of the First Kingdom of Morotength, he participated in Morotength's internal politics, such as helping to build ElderElectricity's first house, and taking part in the Tyobian War of Independence on the Morotengthian side.

He was also a major part in designing the first flag of Morotength, which was made shortly before the Tyobian War of Independence for the City State of Morotength. He was mostly a regular player in Morotength. Tho Laksio often disagreed with ElderElectricity on choices to be made for the nation.

* **The birth of Artovania:**

*The Flag War & the birth of Artovania:*

After Tyobi chose their flag, Laksio said he found it disgusting, and threatened to rebel in a war of independence if Tyobi didn’t change her flag. Tyobi refused, and so Laksio personally declared war. ElderElectricity and Pugsly ran around for a bit, soon enderpearling up onto some tall spruce trees that Pugsly had planted before to get a better sighting. They soon saw Laksio running by. After the two sized eachother up for a bit, and bowfire was most likely traded, ElderElectricity and Pugsly enderpearled down to face Laksio, near what was at the time known as the Western River. This was before the Moez had been artificially widened by world editing. It took place pretty much at where the Moez nowadays splits Old Tyobi from the Lirvian land across from it.

The Battle of the Western River lasted a few minutes, ending in Laksio winning decisively. ElderElectricity and Pugsly tried to keep fighting, with ElderElectricity distracting Laksio in a house so that Pugsly could flee, then ElderElectricity soon running after. They fled to the Mesa in what is now Maida (Médzvés), founding the small country of Tyomesotength (Tyobi + Mesa + Morotength). The two seriously considered just ditching their old nations. Laksio came over to the little house that had been set up by ElderElectricity and Pugsly, and begged ElderElectricity to reset the server to before the war happened, this being heavily argued against by ElderElectricity. After some time, ElderElectricity agreed, resetting the server to a save file from before the war, and thus wiping out everything that happened.

This would be the first in a long line of pettiness/cheating that characterized the first phase of the server (**but no worries, this stuff only really happened in the first phase of the server in 2018, and hasn’t really happened since, nor will it ever be happening again. You have no need to worry at all about this stuff happening nowadays, since it hasn’t and won’t.**).

This war would directly lead to the First Kingdom of Artovania's independence from the First Kingdom of Morotength on 5 May 2018. This independence would be formally recognized on 11 May 2018, marking the official day the First Kingdom of Artovania was born.

* **The First Kingdom of Artovania:**

*Building Plans & the Little Ban War:*

Laksio started building a base south of what is nowadays the old town of Pószrón, where he gathered resources for the eventual construction of the city.

2 days later, the Little Ban War happened; Laksio demanded the region of South Derednia from Morotength, which Artovania claimed as it's territory during the declaration of independence. Morotength refused, and Laksio declared war. ElderElectricity hid in his house as Laksio came forth, fleeing soon after he came in. As Laksio was shooting and hitting him while he was running away, he logged off the server. Laksio dug a hole under his logoff point, and began shooting arrows down at him once he logged back on, with him standing on a platform. ElderElectricity begged the Tyobians over VC for help, but they refused to help, offering only to send potions.

ElderElectricity then went on to pull an “epic” move of pettiness and ban Laksio for “being unreasonable”, or whatever the exact reason was. This forced him to admit defeat, and give up his goal in the war after being soon after unbanned. Laksio actually threatened to leave the server, but soon threw out that idea.
