**Kingdom of Earth** was one of the most well-known and powerful nations of it's time. It always remained as one of the most powerful nations until it got fully destroyed in 8 ACW. It got declared in 7 BCW; but beforehand, it was actually reformed in 9 BCW by Karenihd as a Survival Community.

## History

### Establishment

**Kingdom of Earth** was firstly a Survival Community reformed by Karenihd in 9 BCW. When Karenihd survived The Jungle Sultanate Crisis; he lived with Demiryanki, later known as his most fellow comrade. Karenihd, with his friend, created the Community to embrace forlorn people who lived the same the fate with them. Firstly, they recruited Fastestderek. A forlorn prince from a Principality under the aegis of Jungle Sultanate. The three became good friends and recruited more and more people on their side, including Mario and Toptopkel. There were tens of people on their side, so they developed and expanded quickly.

But one day, they had a fight with barbarians who tried to steal their supplies. The fight was brutal and in the end, Survival Community remained victorious. Karenihd, Demiryanki and Fastestderek made a council meeting and decided that they should declare their independence in order to prevent raiders and barbarians. That day, **Kingdom of Earth** was born.

### Rising Power

**Kingdom of Earth** had a different concept of recruiting villages. Rather than bloodshedding, Kingdom of Earth used positive deals and agreements with villages to persuade them into joining. They treated the villages and villagers well, this is why they never experienced an inner riot.

Kingdom of Earth was ruled with Monarchy but Karenihd created a council including Fastestderek and Demiryanki. Demiryanki and Karenihd were responsible for outer diplomacy and Fastestderek was responsible for inner. Fastestderek met the needs of people, while Karenihd and Demiryanki persuaded more villages into joining Kingdom of Earth. This strategy was working incredibly well, and Kingdom of Earth was expanding quickly.

Kingdom of Earth also had luck with them. After Jungle Sultanate Crisis happened, there weren't any considerable powerful factions left. There were too many, but neither of them were enough to be considered as powerful. Kingdom of Earth used this and they defeated and conquered some other Factions as well. This granted them more power and prosperity.

### Peak Point

**Kingdom of Earth** experienced it's peak age around 4 BCW - 1 BCW. Great resources and supplies, high welfare, great power and amazing order. Pet Animals, happy villagers and civillians. Every faction around the world respected Kingdom of Earth. Kingdom of Earth had castles, so many villages and buildings. There were cave mines so the government always had money. The council was working nice and well organized. Toptopkel was a master builder so he was building amazing things.

Lord Luigi was doing his job perfectly. There were zero risks, zero problems ongoing.

But... As they say, take the bitter with the sweet.

### Conflict Inbetween

As **Kingdom of Earth** gained power, A rivalry started between Demiryanki and Fastestderek about who would be the next king after Karenihd. Day by day, Fastestderek started to fill with greed. It was Karenihd's duty to decide his one and only successor.

Although Karenihd was acting balanced, he was supporting Demiryanki from inside. He wanted Demiryanki as the next king of Kingdom of Earth. Karenihd made his plan to eliminate Fastestderek in order to make Demiryanki one and only successor left. Karenihd had to assasinate Fastestderek without arousing suspicion on public.

Fastestderek was always leaning a bit towards using force, because he thought this 'peaceful utopia' wouldn't last forever and one day they will have to use force. On the other hand, Karenihd and Demiryanki thought bloodshed would make people paniced and skeptical against the government and a riot would happen, which was their biggest nightmare.

Karenihd didn't tell his plan of assasinating Fastestderek to Demiryanki because he knew Demiryanki would instantly reject it.

But Fastestderek was already aware of Karenihd's plans so he planned an escape and create a rebellion with *someone special*... Fastestderek asked Mario for help, because Mario was always against Kingdom of Earth and he wanted Jungle Sultanate back. Mario declined the request at first; but when he found out he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, he decided to join Fastestderek. The two created The Rebellion and recruited more and more people.

### Preparations for War

Demiryanki tried to act peaceful against The Rebellion but it wasn't working. Mario definitely wanted war and people were scared and nervous. This was a crisis they had never encountered at all. So, generals and soldiers finally got their chances to shine.

General Luigi designed a defense plan (Which would cause **Kingdom of Earth**'s victory), border barrier made of berry bushes. The plan was simple. If Rebels attacked, the barrier would stun the attackers and archers would finish them firing from walls. This tactic definitely showed everyone how strategic General Luigi was.

Demiryanki, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, sent an envoy to The Rebellion in order to encourage them into diplomacy. But, the plan didn't go as expected and Mario sent back the skull of envoy to **Kingdom of Earth**. War was heralded, and it was on the door.

### Great Civil War

**Kingdom of Earth** mainly lead a defensive politics in Great Civil War
