## History

### Founding (c.a 1700)

A strong man named March Aquila Quod King found the nation known as Marchiaa. However, three other men named Bob Mortuus Uthman, Puer Fortis and Marama Selbach Tan Constantia tried to found a nation at the same time, so a fight broke out and miraculously, March won and killed them all. March then had a son, Named Alfonso, who took over after he died

### The 3rd but technically 4th king (1800's)

In 1801, a boy by the name of Jakob Yte Alfonso King was born, that boy was exiled after his father, Alfonso, died in 1820, but returned to be the 4th king of Marchiaa in 1837. Jakob von King had also drank an elixir that made him immune to aging, so he remained king for a long time. And by a long time, I mean he survived the entire 1800's and 1900's.

### Assassination of Jakob von King and the Second Marchiaan Civil War (2020-present)

While no big things happened in the 1900's and early 2000's, 2020 hit Marchiaa hard. After being a strong monarchy for 300 years, it came to an end, with the socialists taking power and a Transliqtai socialist assassinating Jakob von King. People were infuriated by this and after weeks of the mess that was a socialist Marchiaan state, a civil war broke out. Last time Marchiaa had a civil war in 1934, it lasted four days. But that was because Marchiaan democrats were non-existent during the 1930's. After the civil war ended, a snap election was held to determine what party was the best to rule the new Marchiaa. The Communist Party of Marchiaa won the election and Marchiaa became a communist dictatorship lead by Marco Waissman. After 2 years of being oppressed by the psychotic dictatorship, the monarchy came back in power of the 5th king Olaf, who was only 17. By December of 2022 an election was held with 2 parties fighting for power, the Social Democratic Party of Marchiaa and the Marchiaan Peoples Party. The SDPM won the election but it had been quite the wild ride, and Marchiaa had a broken economy. The Marchiaan National Socialist Workers Party tried to take over but their attempt failed.

And now, we just need to wait and see what happens next.
