India

## Overview

   **India** (formerly known as Hindustan, later the Mughal Empire) is a large nation in Indian subcontinent. The nation virtually dominates the region, which the exceptions of a few small town-states. It was founded by Faded\_Himself on September 11, 2021 as a means of unifying the states of Islamabad, Bengal, and New New Delhi.

   India's current capital city is in Islamabad, and the empire currently lays claims to the entirety of modern-day India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, as well as the Aksai Chin region of China. On November 25, 2021, The Mughal Empire was officially renamed to India, as part of its new demrocratic government.

   India was also the former owner of Sealand, a colony in the North Sea in Europe, however this colony was disbanded at the request of Great Britain the following day.

## History

### Foundation

The foundation of India started on September 5, 2021, when the states of Islamabad and Bengal brokered a unification treaty to merge Islamabad and Bengal into a single nation.

The town of New New Delhi also expressed interest in joining this union, and the unification treaty of Hindustan was drafted and signed for the three towns to form a single nation.

On September 11, 2021, the town of Bengal, with the aid of the Greater Arabian Alliance, was able to gather the $110,000 required to form a nation, and the Federation of Hindustan was officially formed.

### Expansion

Since the formation of India, other towns were created by India in order to expand its influence across Indian subcontinent, such as Jaisalmer, Vijayanagara, Amritsar, Assam, and many more. Colombo, a major power of the southern Indian region joined Hindustan around this time as well.

Many towns in India are owners of outposts all around the world. These outposts include Antarctica, North Sentinel Island, Oceania, and South America.

India owns several external territories acoss the world.

### New Government

At its youth, India began holding democratic elections for leaders and business within the empire. This system was very flawed, and most often created leaders who were primarily inactive or remained deadbeat their entire term.

When the siege of Jaisalmer took place, three players quit the server, most notably Faded\_Himself, the father of democracy in India. This led to FloppyDude\_ becoming re-elected over and over again, becoming a dictator and assuming full control of India. It was not until months later that when Faded\_Himself heard plans to stage a civil war in India, he would try to start a new, real front and establish a new form of democracy in India.

Faded\_Himself constructed a party system and wrote a new constitution. Three new parties were formed, the Sus Party, the Indian Solidarity Party, and the Centrist Party of India. It was mutually agreed that the Sus Party and the Centrist Party would merge. By the time the elections came, furious arguments broke down, with the CPI claiming that the ISP had rigged the votes by ending it earlier than expected, creating more ISP votes than CPI votes as some CPI members did not vote in time. The ISP denied this fact, releasing a statement that the "elections were fair", and that the fault of the election lies in the people.

This unfortunate meltdown lead to another breakup in India with the ISP leaning states joining the nation Admin\_Abuse. The nation eventually reunited under FloppyDude\_ again after this temporary break up and the Mughal Empire was restored.

## States

According to the official constitution of India, each town in the empire is to be referred to as a state. Unfortunately, many states have collapsed due to inactivity or have left the nation.

His town was sieged swiftly after and later plundered of roughly $80,000, which led to the bankruptcy of Grace. After his unbanning, he returned items under threat of "Worse Things" that in reality, were empty threats, as no more punishment could in reality be given.

### The Mughal Civil War

The Mughal Empire was going through a rough patch. After squabbling with Colombo, the town left and joined China, cutting off a major revenue source. An idea was concieved to stage a civil war. It was a loose attempt to try and gardner the town into joining back. Two fake factions materialized, the Federation of India *(headed by ConsulGermanicus)* and the Mughal Empire. Unfortunately, Faded\_Himself had been overhearing the plans and decided to blend in with the chaos and tried to restore the democracy by founding Communist Hindustan, consisting of the towns of Rajasthan and Bengal.

The Indian Federation had started a siege on Islamabad. Many revolution-esque battle cries were yelled in the in-game chat, such as one to "depose the emperor". When the Chinese heard of such a war, they began immediately attacking players from Indian and Mughal sides, claiming it was for "free sets". The Chinese chose to recognize Communist Hindustan as the superior India. Together they sieged Sukkur, a town with a whopping $105,000 war chest. Eventually, it was agreed upon by all of the Indian states to surrender all sieges and switch to a new form of democracy and rename to India.
