## Nation Overview

The Siamese Imperium also referred to as "The Great Siamese Empire" or "Siam" was a multicontinental absolute monarchy empire ruled by Joe1243 located predominantly in the Asian Pacific region. The Imperial capital was Phuket spanning modern-day Thailand, meeting and events of national importance typically took place in surrounding towns such as Aetheron or Teryle.

The Siamese Imperium's only form of government (outside of Emperor Joe1243) was The Siamese High Council, a group of influential people within the empire whom The Emperor would often consult. The Emperor always held the power to overrule the consensus of The High Council to do whatever he wanted. This became clear towards the end of The Emperor's rule when The High Council often disagreed with him.

The Imperium was known for the nation's "war forward" diplomacy, being labeled a warmonger by many. Siam was also known for its general economic domination of other countries, oftentimes making deals for national gain at the cost of thousands.

## History

The Great Siamese Empire was founded on the 20th of April, 2023, 4 days after the founding of its capital city. The young nation made of only a few almost immediately began to barter for the town of Bangkok and began a deal with the owner. A month later, Emperor Joe1243 purchased the town and became the mayor of Bangkok, leaving the Emperor's co-king in charge of Phuket.

#### National Crisis

Over the few months The Great Siamese Empire had existed, an unofficial alliance was formed between Emperor Joe1243 and former player 17Se7enteen. On June 16th, TheFollowers; leader of an Asian regional power of The Republic of Asia denoucened 17Se7enteen under false pretenses. Exactly one hour before Emperor Joe1243 planned to denounce The Republic of Asia and begin preparing for war, TheFollowers was overthrown by Auramagpie96469 avoiding a major conflict. Only 6 days later the Leader of North Korea attempted to declare war on Siam but failed and never tried again.

### The Siamese Dark Era

After these national crises, the once-isolated state of Siam was forced to make an official statement. One which would shape the foreign policy of Siam in the far future. These crisis wars had forced the Emperor into a state of mistrust of all and Siam fell into an era of irrelevance for 2 months before a war was held against the enemy of the state in TheFollowers. After this war was won, the mistrustful and paranoid behavior would soon begin to manifest in a more offensive nature than before.

### The Siamese Golden Era

The beginning of The Imperium's Golden Era was marked by The First Siamese-Asian War on September 23rd and the addition of BlurrStaticz on September 24th. The First Siamese-Asian War was triggered after at the time, the leader of The Republic of Asia EnglishScout had killed Byzantine citizens and ransacked a Byzantine city. The Siamese Imperium having close ties with Byzantium declared war upon The Republic of Asia and EnglishScout surrendered. The Republic of Asia was squashed and did not return for many months.

BlurrStaticz was a at the time relatively unknown player originating from The Radian Kingdom (known today as The Holy Redwing Empire). The recruitment of BlurrStaticz was in direct opposition to Kihara, who was also actively attempting to recruit him into their empire. Aetheron (BlurrStaticz town) was the first recruited town into The Siamese Imperium and marked a turning point for the coming months of the Imperium. What was also unknown at the time, is that eventually BlurrStaticz would become the richest player on the server, greatly boosting the economy and armory of Siam for coming wars.

#### Rapid Siamese Growth

After weeks of negotiation, on October 1st the nation of Greater Asian Pacific (GAP) merged into The Siamese Imperium. This would put The Siamese Imperium on the world stage, becoming the nation with the most towns located in Asia.

Seeing the rising power of The Siamese Imperium, Emperor .Dmoney9207 of The Holy Redwing Empire began to negotiate a military alliance with The Siamese Imperium. On October 6th, The Siamese High Council and Emperor Joe1243 unanimously agreed to ally with The Holy Redwing Empire. This resulted in a general mistrust of The Sea Drifters and Kihara in Siam's foreign policy due to their aggressive relations towards The Holy Redwing Empire.

One day later on October 7th, The Holy Redwing Empire would declare war on Maya, a Sea Drifters client state. In return, The Sea Drifters would declare war on Redwing. Redwing with Siamese support would come up victorious in both wars, annexing all of Maya. This would mark the start of an intense war-mongering campaign by The Holy Redwing Empire which would only grow more intense.

Seeing many new and upcoming nations in the world, The Siamese Imperium scheduled a meeting with the nations of Nebulith and Union to build good relations and secure mutual interests. The meeting held on October 8th ended with very well-off relations and the signing of The Treaty of Aetheron, a non-aggression pact signed between all present nations. Emperor Joe1243 at this point considered both Union and Nebulith allies in spirit and went to far lengths to ensure their safety behind the scenes.

On October 15th, under threats of war from Emperor Joe1243, the neighboring nation of CTSEA located in Indonesia merged with Siam. This led to the addition of .BananaPie9 to The Siamese High Council and increased Asian hegemony.

#### Further Expansion

Former King of The Hispanic Empire Auramagpie96469 after a long negotiation returned to Asia in Myanmar to join The Siamese Imperium for 10k on October 20th. This deal was unpopular with The Siamese High Council, but Emperor Joe1243 disagreed and followed through with the deal nonetheless and Aura joined The Siamese High Council. To lessen the worries of the council, Joe1243 would secretly continue to privately talk with the other members and keep secrets of utmost importance still hidden from Aura. This dictatorial act of defiance against The High Council would eventually prove poorly for Joe1243.

#### The Siamese-Nickanian War

On October 21st, The Siamese Imperium on claims of cutting down to size and unfriendly interactions declared war on The Nickanian Empire (Now The Kingdom of Nickano). The Siamese Imperium won this war in the first battle with The Nickanian Empire surrendering after initial skirmishes. After their surrender, The Treaty of Amagoa was signed. This among other things made the (now) Kingdom of Nickano a Siamese vassal state. This would make The Siamese Imperium one of three truly multicontinental empires at the time (Balkan Federation, Sea Drifters).

#### Denouncement of Auramagpie96469

Days after the recruitment of Aura, the doubts of The Siamese High Council began to come true when it came to Aura's uncontrollability. On October 22nd, it was reported to Emperor Joe1243 that Aura had illegally entered Balkan Federation territory whilst under lockdown to kill Balkan citizen EnglishScout. While at first Joe had brushed this off due to EnglishScout being an enemy of the state when Siam got word that The Balkan Federation was planning on going to war with Siam due to Aura's actions, a critical second look was taken at Aura.

### The Era of Siamese Aggression

The Era of Siamese Aggression is a time period marked by dictatorial disregard of The Siamese High Council by Emperor Joe1243 and intense warmongering along with the formation of The Tri-Continental League.

On October 25th, Emperor Joe1243 and The Siamese High Council unanimously voted to kick Auramagpie from The Siamese Imperium and denounce him for his careless actions. Aura from this point on would be considered an enemy of the state and act as such. After clearer minds prevailed in this crisis, The Balkan Federation and The Siamese Imperium came to common ground and saw it in their best interests to form a military alliance. This would start the second triple alliance of the server at this time (Kihara, Sea Drifters, Atlantica) as The Balkan Federation had also formed a military alliance with The Holy Redwing Empire. This triple alliance would later go on to form The Tri-Continental League.

After planning a war upon The Sea Drifters for many weeks, The Tri-Continental League's plan was leaked. The war on Marquette that was initially planned for November 10th was pushed back 7 days. During this time, The Sea Drifters prepared for the now-leaked war in many ways. One of which being a newly formed alliance with Union.

The Siamese Imperium and Union ever since the signing of The Treaty of Aetheron maintained friendly relations. This included many behind the scenes negotiations in which Siam was forced to give political favors to ensure the protection of Union. The Siamese Imperium being enemies of The Sea Drifters saw this newly formed alliance as an act of betrayal by the Union government after vocal attempts from The Siamese Imperium to negotiate.

After The Sea Drifters formed an alliance with Union, The Tri-Continental League was forced to push back their war plans once again to sufficiently deal with the new threat in Union. Nonetheless, on November 17th, The Sea Drifters declared war on The Holy Redwing Empire.

#### The First Battle of Redwing

On November 18th, The First Battle of Redwing took place. This was between Sea Drifters and Kiharain forces against The defending Holy Redwing Empire, Balkan Federation, and Siamese forces. The battle took place in the mountainsides of the town, Redwing Kingdom. The heavily outnumbered Kiharian and Sea Drifter forces were overpowered by the defending forces. The Siamese Imperium suffered 0 losses.

#### The Siamese-Uberfall War

Directly after The First Battle of Redwing was over, Emperor Joe1243 without the approval of The Siamese High Council declared war on UberFall, a bordering North Asian Pacific nation. The reasons for this war were not given by the Emperor and The Siamese High Council publicly voiced their opposition to this war.

##### The Battle for Xian

Nonetheless, The Emperor continued with the plans to invade the town of Xian. On November 19th, The Battle for Xian took place. The Siamese Forces were outnumbered 3 to 1 due to dislike of the war within the empire and among allies, yet Siam came out victorious. Siam suffered 0 casualties as opposed to the 35 UberFall casualties. All kills during this fight were at the hands of Emperor Joe1243 and Xian was annexed into The Siamese Imperium.

#### The Siamese-Kiharan War

After weeks of peace between The Tri-Continental League and the opposing alliance (Kihara, The Sea Drifters), Emperor Joe1243 would declare war on Kihara on December 9th under the gize of a reconquest. Proceeding with this declaration, The Sea Drifters announced a new offensive against The Holy Redwing Empire and The Imperial States joined sides with The Sea Drifters and also declared war against The Holy Redwing Empire. These wars were in an attempt to relieve pressure against Kihara; so The Tri-Continental League's army would be split across 3 fronts. Three battles from these war declarations would occur the next day, many dubbing the battles that took place on December 10th, "World War 3".

##### The Battles of the Worlds

These battles took place on December 10th. The Siamese Imperium, Balkan Federation, and Holy Redwing Empire clashed against The Sea Drifters, Kihara, and The Imperial States of America. The 3 fronts were in North Korea where The Siamese Imperium was siegeing, Redwing Kingdom where The Sea Drifters were Siegeing, and Sinaloa where The Imperial States were sieging.

The battles wages for long, with The Tri-Continental holding defense and holding firmly in North Korea. This was until a diversion caused lines to break in Redwing\_Kingdom, allowing The Sea Drifters to get a foothold. It seemed that Redwing\_Kingdom may have been lost if nothing was to be done, so at 7:37 pm EST, The Tri-Contental League launched a frontal assault on The outnumbered Sea Drifters, taking back control in Redwing\_Kingdom for good. Right before the end of the war, Slimeyz of North Korea challenged Joe1243 to a duel. Slimeyz came out victorious, but The Siamese Imperium was nonetheless victorious in their battle, annexing North Korea into The Siamese Imperium.

#### The Second Siamese-Asian War

While the fronts cooled down in North Korea and The America's, Auramagpie96469 re-established The Republic of Asia. Emperor Joe1243 and The Siamese High Council had been expecting this for weeks with their intel, and it was unopposed for on December 16th, The Siamese Imperium to declare war on the newly formed Republic of Asia. This war had no battles like the last Siamese-Asian war, Aura surrendered before an attack on his city Toungoo could happen.

The Treaty of Ayutthaya was signed in the aftermath of The Republic of Asia's surrender.

### Abdication of The Emperor

After The Siamese Imperium's final victory, with a 100% win rate in any wars The Siamese Imperium participated in, Emperor Joe1243 abdicated. This was due to many factors, and unofficially ended the wars against The Sea Drifters and Kihara. The nation was passed onto BlurrStaticz who assumed the role of Leader of The Siamese Commonwealth, a Siamese Imperium successor state, and a peaceful democratic nation.
