## National Identity

### National Dish

Salmon

It was created by Anti-Charles refugees after the Charles Conflict. For most of its history it has been ruled by Bren or Pixel until "The Election" more recently where Jude took the presidency and executed Bren.

Lavia was the first nation on the server with a national flag and has several accepted flag designs.

Lavia was formed by Bren, Pixel and a group of anti-charles refugees from the Outskirts in order to stop Charles from continuing his takeover of the land. Initially, Lavia had an economic system similar to mutualism with all members sharing resources for the greater good of their community. Lavia then held an election for leader of the Revolution against Charles. Shiwu would win this democratically with Bren getting 2nd place, although the 2 would form a deal that whoever lost would be the winners Vice President so Bren would take advantage of this and would get Pixel to trap himself and Shiwu in a box which would then be exploded. This plan would succeed, making Bren leader of the Revolution

During the next vote for Vice President, Charles would find Fort Lavia, the capital of Lavia at the time forcing Lavia to retreat south and form a new city which would then become the capital named Nytt Lavia, meaning "New Lavia" in Swedish.

Lavia during the founding of Nytt Lavia would officially be a communist nation and would begin to be more on the offense, officially writing the declaration of independence and destroying Charles' city/base nearby, Hydroxia. After a battle with Charles that ended with both Bren and Charles losing lives, Nytt Lavia would be in peace. Bren and Endboo would then go out to set up a Lavian colony to the far south, now known as Old Lavia.

Charles would follow them to Old Lavia, bringing one of his allies and followers, Jude. Charles would be killed by Bren using Charles' own sword, the sword of charles by Bren while Charles was in prison. Old Lavia would end out holding several local elections until Bren would no longer be able to run for leader of Old Lavia due to the term limit of 2, putting Jude as the only other person able to become president. In order to stop Jude from winning the presidency and likely exiling Bren, Bren and Endboo would plan to blow up Old Lavia with nukes constructed by Bren during Judes inauguration. This would succeed creating a massive hole where Old Lavia once was and all members of Old Lavia would then flee north back to Nytt Lavia, where Pixel would've became president in bren's absence.

Bren, upon returning to Nytt Lavia would find a developing city. Bren and Pixel's original tunnel base would've been infected by zombies, although the 2 would take the tunnel base back. Pixel would greet Bren and give a tour to him, although Pixel during this tour would die in lava after breaking his legs 2 minutes earlier, putting Bren into the presidency. Bren, pledging to be a better leader would declare an election to give the people a voice.

Jude would run against Bren, quickly getting many more votes than Bren. Bren, being desperate to win would attempt to rig the election, although would be caught by Jude. Bren then would hire a bounty hunter, Noof in order to kill Jude although upon this failing would give up and accept his fate. Bren would be executed by Jude on June 12th, with Jude then shutting down the Lavian Healthcare system and raising taxes.

After the election, Lavia had begun slowly losing influence and power especially after the founding of Minecraftia. On 9/10/2021 the Lavian colony in the outskirts fell and only a few hours later Pugia, Minecraftia and Nullduo declared war on Lavia. The "Battle of Lavia" would be scheduled for the 18th of september.

On the 17th of september the former capital of Lavia during the revolution, Fort Lavia would be taken by Minecraftia and renamed to Fort Neva. On the 18th of september, the Battle of Lavia would arrive with the invaders breaking through the walls. The Emporer of the Aegean Empire, Aegean II would be "killed" by a lavian soldier due to them not knowing Aegea was neutral

will finish later im bored lol someone else can finish this if they want-bren

## Geography

Lavia originally was just the area around and under Fort Lavia, although when Charles found the Fort, Lavia fled south and founded the city of Nytt Lavia. Charles would attempt to form another city/nation-state nearby called "Hydroxia" although Hydroxia would be quickly absorbed and taken over by Lavia, repurposing it into a mine. After a battle with Charles, Lavia would then expand its claim massively, claiming the entire southeast of the map as the Republic of Lavia.

Lavia currently claims the area in and around Fort Lavia, a small dock in the Outskirts as well as some of the Aegean mountains and a large amount of the plains biome in the southwest of the map. Lavia also claims Breniscell/The Spectrals home and the Leeward peninsula, although these areas are also claimed by the Aegean Empire, creating dispute.

## Flags and Vexillology

Lavia officially has 3 accepted flag designs. These include:

The Flag of the Revolution

This was the flag of Lavia during the Revolution and is the first Lavian Flag.

The white symbolizes the walls that keep Lavia safe from foreign threats, the Blue represents the rivers and water, the black represents the nations leaders and the orange represents the nations sacred lava pool located in Fort Lavia which the nation was named after.

This is the current main flag of Lavia. Blue on top and orange on bottom is also accepted as an alternative.

The orange represents the nations sacred lava pool the nation was named after in Fort Lavia as well as the founders of the nation, the blue represents the nations rivers and water, the white represents unity and democracy while the black represents the nations darkest times and wars, remembering those who were lost for Lavia's independence and freedom.

## Formation

Lavia was formed during the end of the Charles Conflict by anti-charles refugees from the Outskirts. Lavia's name comes from a lava pool in Fort Lavia. Lavia was formed in order to prevent Charles' spread and conquest of the server which was a major threat at the time.

## Culture

Lavians are known to be hard-working and good fighters. Lavians often fight with each other in duels to practice for greater wars and most Lavians have atleast some Netherite due to the countries (now shut down) Public healthcare program. Lavians often have some form of liquid in or near their homes, usually being Lava or Water. Lavians spend much of their time in the mines gathering resources for them and their country.

Lava, being the thing Lavia was named after is often in the inventory of Lavians as a symbol of hope and to be used as a weapon. Lavians also value bread and salmon deeply, often using them as sources of food. Lavians post-construction of the outer great wall have also began to move towards business, such as the citizen Shunwee with his transnational Shunwee19 Shop.

## Executions and attempted executions

Charles - First successful execution and how Charles lost his last canon life, being executed in his prison cell by Bren.

Bren - was executed by Jude on June 12th for "betraying his country"

Lisenar/Kaiser - was declared to be executed by Jude after Kaiser's attempted assassination of Jude, managed to escape, meeting Bren in the sewers

## The Battle Of Lavia

During Jude's tyranny, Noof and Skull decided to start a battle against jude, and get rid of his tyranny. As news of these "Invaders" popped up, Pugia, Minecraftia, and other countries started joining, including Bren. As the battle got closer, Anti Lavian Propaganda started popping up on buildings in Nytt Lavia, Nova Hopeonia, and the current capital city of Pugia, Bealov. Shortly after this propaganda popped up, on September 11th, war was declared.

After jude was succesfully captured, bren blew up a large hole in Nytt Lavia. Bren then asked to be killed by Lisenar III, and was promptly Killed.
