Kievan Rus

St. Petersburg

The Kievan Rus was the first founded Old Republic nation, and was at a time the most active nation

## Pre-Kievan Rus History

### The Journey

ConDud(Old Republic), HappyBrother27(Old Republic), UnderGriff(Old Republic), and ecophobia2724(Old Republic) set out from Korea, through the Japanese Isles, and drove over the north sea of russia, eventually landing in a place in Siberia. Settling Novagrad

### The Founding of Novagrad

Novagrad was founded in a snowy wasteland, the settlers constructed the Novagrad tower, and small survival house. A small farm was also set up, which sparked the legend of the Ungrowable Seed.

> "The seed simply sat there, ungrowing, unchanging. We waited for it, even planted other seeds. But this one refused to grow, it showed grit. One that symbolized the grit of our early settlers, and so Novagrad, oh beutifal city, shall be titled the city of the ungrowable seed."

Novagrad was left behind as PatatoSald(Old Republic) joined the settlers and guided them to St. Petersburg's location.

### Founding of St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg's mine was set up, and ConDud began construction of the capitol building. After much time, 5inator(Old Republic) joined, and the writing of the constitution began. Setting the Prime Minister's roles, the three Commissars roles, and the power of these roles. St. Petersburg had a bright future ahead of it

## The Early Days

The Early Days of the Kievan Rus were rocky, unclear, but hopeful

### Forming of the Rusian Worker's party

The first party formed was the Rusian Worker's party, formed by UnderGriff and the entirety of the rest of the nation (Apart from Patato) the party was initially formed out of fear that Patato would split off from the nation and declare independance. Its other goals was generally sustain the already had government.

### The First Election

The First Election had no contest, the Rusian Worker's Party had already decided how the election would end. ConDud was elected as Justice Commissar, HappyBrother27 as Economic Commissar, PatatoSald as Military Commissar, and UnderGriff as Prime Minister. But Patato quickly resigned, and was replaced with ecophobia.

### Autonomy Issue

Tallinn (Ruled by Patato) asked for autonomy. ConDud attempted to reason why he should stay as a regular city, but in a vote of two to one, Tallinn was turned into an Autonomous Region. A first strike for ConDud against the party.

### The First Amendment

The First Amendment was quickly written, and described the difference between a city, and property. And also set the role of mayors. At the time this amendment would not serve any purpose but would come into play later down the road.

### Independance Wave

In this wave, Patato left the nation to form the Netherlands. 5inator, and Ecophobia left for Brazil. In this wave, the Kievan Rus was left heavily damaged, and did not have enough people to run the government

### Novagrad's City Status

A large warehouse was constructed in Novagrad, holding crops animals etc. Later, ConDud would request Novagrad's city status and became the mayor of Novagrad.

### Formation of Novamenosgrad

A small city west of Novagrad was formed, but shortly after united with Novagrad. Allowing Novagrad to be powerful both economically, and military (Due to the military base now being in Novagrad)

### The Raiding of St. Petersburg and Brando's Trial

St. Petersburg was robbed, all valubles stolen. Brando was in the brunt of the blame. Brando was called to court, and was charged for 3 of his crimes, but not all. He was sentenced to 3 days in prison. Damage was still bad, Brando pleaded innocent to all charges

### The Second Raiding of St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg was raided yet again, this time worse. All and even more was stolen from storage. Brandon was blamed (He was now in charge of Brittany) and War was declared. "Justice for St. Petersburg." a poem by ConDud was written. The Netherlands also joined, this started the Brittanny War

## The Golden Age of Culture and Economy

### The Brittanny War

The war of Brittanny spanned over only one battle, Brittanny was laid waste to by the Netherlands and the Kievan Rus. Brittanny was handed over to the Kievan Rus. It was handed to SB1317 as a port colony but wasn't touched for a long while after the battle. Brandon and Dashie (Both citizens of Brittany) were declared as POWs and were sentenced to life in prison.

### The New Administration

After an incident where Prime Minister UnderGriff murdered a brazillian citizen. The Commissars agreed it was an embarresing incident. They decided to vote Vengeanful as Prime minister. In a vote of 4/1, Vengeanful was elected as the new Prime Minister. This also occured as the last event of the first age, and the transition to the Second Age and the Age of Silence.

### The Expelling of Vengeanful

The Kievan Rus found the Vengeanful had been sharing anti-socialst/communist sentiment. And might be attempting to reform the country. After Vengeanful announced he may resign, he was quickly impeached in a 3/0 vote by the commissars, and expelled by ConDud. The city of St. Petersburg had a pyro incident, Vengeanful was the main suspect.

### ConDud's Administration

ConDud was quickly elected into office. Stating that the relation towards Vengeanful's nation would be fully neutral and passive aggresive. Due to them being seen as highly imperialistic. He also immediatly began to plan to urbanize St. Petersburg, making districts. Official Uniforms were also made for the Military. Designed by ConDud himself, and approved by the new military commissar, UnderGriff. The anthem for the nation was declared to be Katyusha. Specifically this version: Katyusha.

### ConDud's Second Term

ConDud's main selling point during his campaign for re-election was to "Finish The Plan" winning the election 3/2, ConDud began immediately. Helping Commissars setup the National Bank of the Kievan Rus, start setting up the economic district, make a new Capitol Building. The National Bank allowed for a currency through bank notes to the people.

## End of the Kievan & The Kievan Revolts

During ConDud(Which from now on will be called by in character name as: Lediton Porluck)'s 5th term, he was approached by Ilyrui and Kiyeroule and was told to form the Old Republic, Lediton Porluck agreed to this. Both of the Yule's would leave and convince the rest of the world, leading to the creation of the Old Republic.

### Formation of the Anti-GRoE Group

With the citizens of the Kievan Rus left abandoned and uncared for by Lediton Porluck, many would form a group protesting the existence of the Creator and the Grand Republic of Earth.

### The Beginning of the Kievan Revolt

With a sizeable army behind them. The remaining Kievan Rus, living in poverty, filled with rage and spite towards the old elite, which had gone on to join the GRoE. Would launch an attack on Fort Alpine charging it with a large force of peasants waving a banner with a phoenix on it, national animal of the Kievan Rus
