Polarus

Polarus, a nation built on the Ideals of the Faith of Itorest. Polarus grew in its early years as a nation, a small farming land. It was until a strong government was formed. The nation massively shifted towards industrialization. This and the expanding of the border allowed Polarus to have a surplus of cash from its GDP. Then, he came… the man sent from Ito. Born from a small peasant family. He was Zakruis Tirus. He instituted the constitution which was based around the ideals of the Faith of Ito. At the age of 19 he was made the Grand Priest, he used the surplus of cash to send missionaries around the world. These men were to convert the people to the Faith of Itorest. Of course, never forcefully as Zakruis believed in the people having the choice to be or to not to be a follower. The effects of these men going around the world had caused the era of enlightenment. People were cheering with joy with the schools, hospitals, and much more these men made. With the support of those people, it led to 4 nations to collide in greatness. These nations were Polarus, Haxor, Legumia, and Seluka. The Itorestian Coalition was made up of the strongest nations of the world at the time, Haxor with their great fleet and airforce, Polarus with the might of millions of soldiers, Legumia with the most powerful economy, and lastly Seluka.

#### **Part 2, Peacekeepers of the World:**

The 4 great nations of Arvald had united, they created the Ito Coalition. The purpose was to protect the people of the world from tyrannical leaders, and their regimes. Zakruis had a plan, a plan to increase the wellbeing of the people. He used the wealth Polarus had made, as well as his own wealth to donate back to the world. He issued for more homes, schools, hospitals, and roads/bridges to be built. This was a grand plan, this was to unite the world one last time. Polarus the led fight against nations who use WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction). Abzalia were one of the nations who were victims of WMDs, and so Zakruis sent aid to them, as well as the acceptance of refugees. This led to the downfall of Apple, a nation which abused its power to kill innocent civilians. The downfall of Apple, was to limit Apple's forces as well as their lands. Not to erase their history and culture, but to guide it the right way. The days of Peace keeping ended, around after the start of the Eastern War (Orgen War.)

#### **Part 3, The Battle for Arvaldian Kind:**

Zakruis saw the Orgens attack, he heard of them killing innocent civilians and burning entire villages. This angered Zakruis, he called up for every man who can fight, to fight for the freedom of the world. Millions of men were conscripted to fight, the bare minimum was 5 years of service. But many of these men decided they will fight for freedom until they die. This pleased Zakruis, seeing his people as noble as he is. The Vanguard, or the soldiers who were already in service before the conscripted, were sent first to defend Legumia, Zarwonia, and Keldin. While the other troops would train a bit longer before being sent out overseas to fight the Orgen. Once the 3 million men clashed with the Orgens, a defense line was made to stop further Orgen advancements. This gave precious time to other nations to rebuild their armies. Sadly Zakruis had no choice. He had to allow the Ito Coalition to use WMDs after the involvement of Apple joining the Orgens. The Ito Coalition shot their weapons of mass destruction against enemy forces, Zakruis was thankful non had hit any civilian sites. But it had scarred the land, leaving a mark for generations of people will see. While back at home, unrest occurred as protests for a more militarized government to protect them. This unrest was seen by Zakruis as just a small issue. This fatal mistake would cause rippling effects throughout the world.

#### **Part 4, Home, a Battle Rages**:

Zakruis mistake of not putting down a protest led to a greater amount of protestors to form. 15 years of Zakruis working as the Grand Priest tired him out. His eyes would sag from the long nights of work. He couldn't get himself to give the order to forcefully disperse the crowd. He was afraid of going past his ideals, the nation was built on. These protestors were called the Youth Revolutionaries, due to many of them still attending College and High School. The revolution finally turned bloody after one unknown Revolutionary blew up an armory. Resulting in the death of over a dozen soldiers. Without Zakruis reacting, the Generals took control of power to suppress this revolution. They tried, but they failed as these young men and women used guerilla tactics against soldiers. Many soldiers also deserted to the revolution, as they didn't want to fight their own kind. This led to cities all around Malenos to follow the cause of these students. Finally Malenos fell, the army stationed in Malenos were under equipped and undertrained as the more better soldiers were overseas fighting. Many of the Politicians and Generals began to flee to Isigaku. They pleaded to Zakruis to also come, but he stayed, he would rather stay then run as a coward. The Youth Protestors captured Zakruis, and eventually killed him. Zakruis was at the age of 34 when he had died. The Isigaku Government received huge armies of Polarians and would rather fight for them then for the new government.

#### **Part 5, The Struggle for Power:**

As the Youth Government had taken control of the Government, the Prime Minister had joined the radicals. In the new government the Church of Itorest was torn apart into 2 parts. The Faith of Itorest, and the Eyes of Itorest. This split from the main church resulted in mass chaos. The Youths were Pro Eyes of Itorest, they started arresting Faith Bishops and taking them to prison cells. The radicals had 2 main groups who fought for power. One group wished for the invasion of Keldin, while the other wanted the return of the soldiers. Group 1 told soldiers to attack Keldin, without notifying Group 2. This resulted in chaos in the government, Group 2 created an armed group to suppress group 1, and resulted in the removal of all Polarian Soldiers to return home. As the troops arrived home, they were welcomed with dead members of the Youth Government. It seemed as if under the stress of all the chaos they committed suicide. The fall of this government led to a government free nation. Full of chaos and battle.

#### **Part 6, The Remaining Polarians:**

Polarus had been shattered by Colonial Ambitions of Greedy, Selfish Rulers. Not much is known about this era of Polarus, as any written document is very scarce. It is believed the men who rose up from the rubbles of Polarus were here to fix Polarus once more. The Great Nation of Polarus had fallen to the name of the Polarian Remnants, by other nations. Relations with Isigaku healed, and all who were exiled were allowed to return. The great plague had hurt, the already wounded Polarus. Resulting in as much as 10% of the population to die out. The government had changed a lot over the years. Once a Theocracy, then to a Military Government, then to a Democratic Theocratic Government. 2 parties remain in the government, both using Zakruis as the man who created their parties. The first is the Faith Party, believing in the old days of Peacekeeping. The second is the Seekers Party, believing in the times when Zakruis allowed WMDs. Zakruis was immortalized as a saint, they now refer to him as Saint Zakruis Tirus, the man who united Polarus and made it into the greatest nation in existence. The nation is still divided as the time rolls by, Polarus will return once more many say.

#### **Part 7, Rising from Rubbles:**

Polarus, rose from the ashes of war. It became a great strong nation, allying with the also great Hollicans. The nation of Haxor started aggression against Polarus, attacking civilians with Polarian Clothing, to accuse Polarus as the evil of the world. Orders were given, and war was sent. The war was great for Polarus (even without the military stats we were winning), until one day our lines broke (if we had military stats we could have won cough @Nnomtnert  cough). This led the fall of Polarus, the fall was only a setback for a greater Polarus soon to come. The nation's economy has improved over the years, and Haxor was riddled with debt. The war was not in vain, as Haxor had suffered many economic setbacks. While our great nation proceeds to advance farther and farther every day. Soon after the fall of Polarus, the Polarian realm was briefly occupied by the Hollican and Isigakan states.

#### **Part 8, A State of Nonexistence.**

During the period of peaceful occupation of the Polarian peoples, many hoped for stability to be restored in the lands by their mainly Hollican overlords. Although some resemblance of normal life returned, Hollican rules began to look  more noticeable by the months. Many worried their Hollican leaders were planning to permanently annex the lands of Polarus. Even though many worried and some scheemed, nothing was ever put into motion. The peoples of Polarus watched silently as Hollican grip over Polarus strengthens…

One ray of hope came one day, as news came out of the Hollica-Isigaku war. Many saw this as an Isigaku liberation of Polarus, but these hopes washed away as peace sprang up. Wars came and went between the Isigaku and Hollican forces, but never were the Polarians freed from rule. It was until… a man named Gallaton Hernan, this man who arrived unexpectedly… sent by Ito. Many laughed as they heard this man say he was sent by Ito, badmouthing him as a pretender of Zakruis Tirus. While many mocked him, some gave his statement a chance. Gallaton at the age of 28 at the time was warmly welcomed into the hands of the Seekers Party. He shared what he believes Ito has told him, “The People of Polarus are being oppressed by the Hollicans. It is you, Gallaton Hernan to free your people, my people of the faith! It is for you to rise up and restore the promised lands of Polarus once more. It is you who I shall guide to lead this nation when you complete my task.”

Gallaton over the many months worked tirelessly to bring Polarus back as an independent nation. Unknown to him, his many compatriots began rebellions in the many cities throughout Polarus, one notable rebellion being the Malenos Uprising of 52bby. Although starting off strong, these rebellions lacked a leader, a leader which many knew can be filled well. Gallaton seeing this proposal takes it with enthusiasm. While the Rebellions were strong, they were outmatched by the Hollican forces… This difference in supply and training showed the Seekers Party a war with Hollica will lead to defeat, but one day… news broke out of Hollican withdrawal from Polarian borders. Many were shocked
