# **History of ICMK**

## The Dawn of Imperial Coalition of Maltese Knights {ICMK}, Duluth

Founded on the 13th of September, 2020. ICMK was known as Knights of Malta abbreviated as KoM, The Founder and the first leader, Grand Master Duluth had the intention of replicating a real life religious organization and her system in the newly found world named Terra.

Settling in Terra, the flag, government system and motto of the real life Knights of Malta now known as Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) was adopted as intended by Duluth making the coalition ready to accept members and begin further organization.

Considering the fact that Terra itself hasn't existed literally and the game was promised to be released soon, Duluth began intensive recruiting to increase the member base of the coalition while discussing with the already existing Nexus Bloc about a potential treaty to ensure the safety of the coalition when the game actually begins in few days as stipulated by the developer.

Duluth, an experienced senior milcom officer in a major alliance in Politics and War (PnW) found faults in his method of recruiting as the process wasn't as fruitful as he had hoped, believing it was his lack of experience in the department he decided to seek help from the only recruit in the coalition who he had learned that the individual is a player in planet Bob and planet Orbis who is also experienced in internal affairs matters and military matters, to formulate a better procedure to get members to join ***KoM***. While this process was ongoing, Duluth continued with the ongoing negotiations as he plans to finalize all ongoing foreign negotiations to be able to focus squarely on the organization of the Department of Internal Affairs.

During the negotiation with Nexus members, it was clear a large percentage of the bloc member aren't convinced that the alliance was going to exist for a long time considering the coalition only has 2 members.

Fortunately for Duluth and KoM at large, Horseman [HM] a M-level member of Nexus was ready to become the protector of KoM with one major clause out of many which is for the coalition to have a minimum of 6 members. This development brought Duluth back to the major problem he was facing.

Realizing he couldn't stall any longer, Duluth had to make Daviesolu hasten whatever procedure he was working. Daviesolu on the other hand noticed that the issues wasn't primarily the method used to recruit members but the fact that the game hasn't been released yet. Regardless, a new procedure was adopted which was slow but steady, Making it the first success under the rule of Duluth.

Few hours after experiencing his first success, Duluth announced his resignation 5 days after the establishment of the Empire due to personal reason as he had stated in his resignation speech, Before he officially left the office of the Grand Master, he announced Daviesolu, the Grand Duke of Military Affairs as his successor leaving him to conclude whatever process and negotiation that was ongoing.

## The Reign of Daviesolu the Enlightened

Shortly after becoming the Grand Master, The former Grand Duke of Military Affairs resumed office almost immediately to ruminate on policies in line with his systems and belief without affecting the foundation in which the coalition was found, *Policies and Systems that would lead to the complete transformation of Knights of Malta {KoM}*.

Changing the system in which KoM was using, to Daviesolu was necessary as he felt few things added to the coalition at her foundation weren't supposed to exist with the coalitiom and a complete religious body was going to limit the coalitions involvement in certain political movements mostly on the foreign scene.

### Restructuring of Knights of Malta {KoM}

On the 19th of September, 2020, following several deliberations on the system which would be suitable for the long term existence of KoM, Semi Constitutional Monarchy system of government was finally adopted and in line with the system various names were formulated until Imperial Coalition of Maltese Knights {ICMK} was coined out of the existing name of the coalition.

Further restructuring process took place which involved abolishing the position of the Grand Master and other positions in the previous regime while creating the seat  of the Emperor, modifying the administrative arm and creation of the legislative arm.

Without enough backing and power embedded in each position which was causing restrictions with certain decision that had to be made to proceed with the restructuring process, Daviesolu introduced the first constitution which would be used and named it
