## History

Greater Karolium began as a small squatter clan in a Viodoxan colony on the North-Eastern continent of Plagatea.

### Integration into Viodoxa

#### End of the Clan

After attempting to take neighboring Hollenkreis to secure the local area, the clan was convinced by Viodoxa to give up and come in Cymru to re-populate the province of Interium and the castle that used to be called Isen Draca (Present Day Holy-Terra). After the clan agreed, Lord of the province, former leader of the clan, CarolvsRex, started working on improving the land by welcoming colonists such as the city of Fortuna owned by Flavius.

#### CarolvsRex's ban

A few months after Carolus got ownership of the province, one of the Viodoxan Archons banned him for 1 week because of Interium's confederate jokes. This 1 week ban also resulted in Carolus being perma-banned in Viodoxa, causing a leadership crisis in the province.

### Interium Era

#### Military State

After the fall of Viodoxa Interium regained independence and renamed itself to Interium-Khalkhagiin. During this time it became a military state with an inactive leadership. During this age, Laythe and CarolvsRex held a DM petition for the people of Interium-Khalkhagiin to remove the current leadership.

### Greater Karolium

#### CarolvsRex's comeback

The petition succeeded and Flavius & Khan were both removed from leadership. They caused the Interium Crisis, a time in which Flavius and Khan went ballistic over being removed. At last, Khan became peaceful again, however, Flavius did not, and attempted to steal the northern lands along with his city of Fortuna and run in the hands of Seratovia, which denied his requests of help as his claim of the northern lands was illegal.

#### Nation Rename

Interium was revamped in to the nation of Greater Karolium, with a german, swedish, northern italian and latin esthetic. The name was inspired off the Swedish Caroleans and because around 5 of the core members of Karolium used to be part of Carolus' other faction on another server (MagicGum SMP), the Caroleanvs, which used to have 200+ members.

#### Siege of Fortuna

On November 6th 2021, the Siege of Fortuna started. Shortly after the war started, the Karolium forces were defeated by Fortuna's technology and strong manpower. As a result, most of its siege army was massacred and their armours and tools looted. Eventually, Karolium lost the battle and its capital Holy-Terra was raided, where a slaughter and looting of civilian properties ensued. In the ensuing chaos of the battle, some members seceded from Karolium. Greater Karolium was forced by the State of Seratovia to pay 50k in cash towards the enemy city. Although Greater Karolium backed down and completed the payment, this act has caused Anti-Seratov Sentiment to rise even further, paving the way to the Fortunan Crisis.

#### Fortunan Crisis

The Fortunan Crisis was an event which happened shortly after the defeat of Karolium. The nation, wanting revenge, declared war on the Seratovian State. Due to Seratovia's experience, diplomatic negotiations shortly began, these negotiations were full of insults, memeing, dodging and lasted around 2-3 weeks.

In the end, Carolus personally went to Yazov and Augustine and striked a deal with them, regaining all of Karolium's land, except the exact land on which the city of Fortuna was placed upon. While this **highly** satisifed Karolium, it caused great anger in Fortuna. while Flav, the leader of Fortuna calmed down, his son, Kogan, did not, and threatened Karolium with revenge, which up to the present time, did happen, through its absolute destruction and dissolution, with its name only known by those who came after it, and those who defeated it, and its land being renamed and restructured, as a part of the province of Fortuna.
