## History

### Early Medival Amerscom (1073-1197)

Amerscomese history dates as far back as 537 when the northern celticians arrived to desyria. One group of these celts, Scomessce Celts, from which the country's name originates too, came to this region to settle down. These early settlers mainly relied on the fertile Amer Plains and the Silta river system for food and survival, and multiple tribes called sinchi tribes were formed in different areas. In 1073, a powerful tribe leader, Ixisbŏki united the sinchi tribes to form the greater amer tribe.

In **1146**, Albert I., the son of the Waresbone Prince Eddward of the Solleno House gets crowned as the first king of the **Amersomese Kingdom**, which will result in waresbone having a legitamate claim on the throne in the future.

Albert I. (1146-81) is remembered is as albert the great, building many schools, increasing amerscom's military presence in the region, trading, and building the city of **Padford**. Albert I. will die from natural causes. After his death he leaves two claimainst to the throne, Albert II. and his brother Alonso. Most of the nobles side with the older son, Albert II and they win multiple battles against the other claimaint. Alonso is expelled to the Kingdom of Apton.

Albert II. (1181-93) is infamous for founding the port of Wistover and establishing amerscom as a trade superpower at the time, and makes a very important alliance with the Kingdom of Ormscastheria. Also in his rule he will meet the infamous explorer, Flokheimmer, who become his vassal for a while.

### The commonwealth (1197-1402)

Albert II. died in 1193 with only a female heir, sparking a hussle for the throne. There will be 3 claimants to the throne, the duke of Belsidonia, Charles IV. of Waresbone, and Alonso I. the son of Albert II.'s brother who was also named Alonso. This will spark one of the devastating wars amerscom will face, the 1st War of Amerscomese Sucession.

Each of these 3 had a legitmate clain on the throne, with the Duke of Belsidonia, George III. was the spouse of the daughter of Albert II, but that didn't stop Charles IV. of Waresbone finally having the opportunity to have a chance of getting the throne, since he was related to Prince Eddward. In 1194 the Army of Charles IV conquered the fort of Waton, and besiged Sapitnoe, but the defenders bravely held. Shortly after Amerscom and Waresbone signed the Treaty of Mundrok, ceeding Belsidonia to Waresbone. While this was happening, Alonso I. (Who got Apton's throne) was preparing a huge army to strike at the right moment. In 1195 Alonso I. (1195-96) entered Sapitnoe without any opposition. He was crowned as the king of Amerscom, and he became the join ruler of Apton and Amerscom. His rule wasn't long lived, he died from a plague in 1196. He had 3 sons and 2 daughter.

The nobility in Amerscom elected James I. (1196-1248) of the newly founded Solleno-Jimena house branch, the eldest son. James I. signed the Treaty of Wistover (1197), which created a person union with James I. being on the throne of Amerscom, and Apton. This will mark the start of Amerscom's First Golden Age.

During James I. (1196-1248), amerscom was in the start of it's golden age, with James I. massively upgrading the Apton-Amerscomese military and establishing and funding the construction of castles from the newest technology available. James I. also strenghtened the economy by the Agricultural Law (1233), which imposed more taxes on goods coming from Glayeuropeh, making most of the merchants stay in Apton-Amerscom since the high tax and sell their goods here, and also filled up the nations treasury. He also strengthened the industry. He will only have 1 child.

Albert III. (1248-1277) is mostly remembered for creating the province system and the law system of the commonwealth, the Referadium System. In his early years of his rule, albert focused on increasing industrial production, and introducing the core parts of feudalism in amerscom. He will have 2 sons, and a daughter.

Alonso II. (1277-85) was the first king who held the title of duke too, because of the belsidon duchy, before him belsidonia was ruled by anohter branch of the Solleno-Jimena house. He was assisinated by his cousin Edward in 1285.

Edward I. (1285-1326) reign was realtively peacful after crushing the 1st (1288) and 2nd (1301) Parrani Rebellions. He introduces important goods reforms which increased Amerscom's industrial capabilities. He will have 1 son.

Edward II. (1326-64) reformed the agrictulture system but created issues that would last for hundreds of years. He started the construction of the Amerscomese royal palace and built losts of fortifications. (60% of all the castles and forts in amerscom today). He didn't have a son, so his cousin inherited the throne.

Albert IV. (1364-1402) strenghtened the apton-amerscomese military, and adapted the modern amerscomese languge and he changed the seats of the referadium system. He didn't have a son, starting the 2nd War of Amerscomese Sucession.

### The Second Commonwealth (1406-1674)

After Albert IV.'s death, the Kingdom of Waresbone invaded apton-amerscom with an army of more than 5000 soldiers lead by Bainikus, with a 3:1 advantage. The Apton-Amerscomese scrambled all the armies they could to fight them, but the waresbonian army reached the silta River and the Sapnitoe Area by April 1404, with the most of the Apton-Amerscomese army defeated. It seemed like the war was almost lost but the defenders defeated the waresbonians in the Battle of Silta Bend (1404, July 18). And then the Ormscasterians arrived, who were allied with amerscom since the reign of Albert II. They pushed the attackers out of Apton-Amerscom and recaptured Belsidonia. They even pushed into Waresbone and reached the last fort to their capital, but they failed at capturing it. The war ended with the Treaty of Saek-Chapelogne with Apton-Amerscom and Ormscasteria victorious, and the Greater Belsidonia area including the duchy of Beslidonia was ceeded to the commonwealth and Ormscateria got some lands too.

In 1406 James II. was crowned as the king of the Commonwealth of Apton and Amerscom and the Duchy of Belsidonia. From now on the House of Belsidon will rule over the commonwealth.

James II. (1406-27), was the first commonwealth king from the House of Belsidon, and the first king in the house itself too. He fortified and repaired the forts of the country, created a capable army and passed the The Sirraqiullas (Note: A law the disinherited any other Lines of The Solleno house that branched off before albert I., meaning every heir to the throne will have to come from the line of Alonso I.)(1420).

Charles I. (1484-1545). Charles, known as Charles the Great was one of the best kings of the era. His reign is considered, as not only the commonwealth's but Amerscom's second golden age. He reformed the education system, and made the apton-amerscomese culture prosper. He fixed the issues caused by Edward II.'s agriculture law, and built the first manufacturers in Desyria. He significantly improved the country's road infrastructure, which will prove vital in the future.

Edward III. (1545-71) reign was the most peacful out of every single monarch of amerscom. During his reign the Wistover Conference was held, which renewed the commonwealth's alliance with Ormscasteria and formed closer ties with the newely emerging sultanetes on the Matanaku.

Charles II. (1661-1674) at the start of charles's rule, tensions were brewing between the members of the commonwealth and the king passed a decleration granting more autonomy to every kingdom inside. But, on the 21 of February 1674 the king was deposed from the throne of Amersom and the nationalists declared the Republic of Amerscom, leaving the union, leaving Charles II. on Apton's and Belsidonia's throne. On the 22 of February Belsidonia suceeded from the union and dismantled the union, leaving a Kingdom of Apton behind. Fearing another diposal, Charles abdicated from the Throne of Apton and apton became the Republic of Apton. But this wasn't to last since amerscome and ormcasterian troops crossed the border to take advantage of the political turmoil. After a 4 month war, they divded apton between them. This is what's called the 2 day revolution and the Short Winter War.

### The Republic (1674-1705)

After the 2 day revolution the amerscomese abolished the referadium system and set up a parlement. In 1677, the parlement officially accepted the constitution of the Newly formed Republic of Amerscom. In 1678 the first election was held. Sarlique George became the first president of amerscom.

During the republic a lot of laws were changed, making a amerscom up to date in terms of the new industrial technologies.

## Geography

Amerscom is located on the easternmost part of the Scomese Peninsula, and is home to many unique and beatiful geographic features. The country's geography has been mainly shaped by the Silta River and it's tributaries. Most of the country is covered by the Amer and Mevellin Plains, which were filled up by the river 800 thousand years ago. The countries's southern shoreline is home to many bays and lagoons, while the northern coast is more rocky. In the middle of the country lies the Illas and Cressing hills, while in the north you can find the Wowert Hills which were created by recent geological uplift events. North to the mevellin plains lies the Southern Omeras, where the Silta River originates from. North to these mountains lies the Bergad river valley which separates the Southern Omeras from the Northern Omeras. The highest peak and highest point of the country Mt. Mera lies on the border with Ormscastheria.
