## Trapped!!

Title Card

**Trapped!!** is an episode from the *Mario Toy shorts*third series/season. It was originally uploaded on the 30th of April but was immediately taken down for editing reasons and reuploaded on the 1st of May, 2017.

## Story

The episode starts with Mario Toy lying in bed until Wario Toy comes up to him, telling Mario that the power star has escaped onto a risky place: the end of a wooden, stand-up white board. Mario attempts to get the star but falls down to the ground. His leg is caught in some wires so he tries to jump around in hopes of freeing himself. However, this results in the bin getting tipped over and he is buried under neath the mess. Wario, Angrey Kenny and Homer Figure are relaxing on the bed in the meantime.

Paper Spongebob and Paper Konata come across the mess and Spongebob sees an arm. He presumes it to be a dead body. He alerts Wario and he confirms that it is indeed Mario. He gets help from Purple Pac-Man who tries using a redstone block to make the mess disappear. It doesn't work. Spongebob uses "The Amazing Power of Video Editing" to make a phone appear so he can phone Patrick. Patrick tells him to break what's on top Mario. He attempts this via a plasting light sabre but the plan doesn't work.

Wario decides to have everyone pick the bin up and they succeed. Konata takes Mario out from where he was trapped and Wario realises that Mario is dead. He then jumps on him and Mario starts to respond through sounds of pain. He takes him along to Angrey Kenny and Homer to relax. Mario says "power star" and Wario remembers that the star still needs to be collected. Whilst Spongebob and Konata relax, Wario falls the same place Mario did and Spongebob goes to help him.

## Lyrics

I love you

I long for you

I really need you

I love you

I love you because I long for you

It isn't really that hard to love you

What's hard is forgiving you

That Bible by your side, just leave it alone

I just laugh and laugh at your cheatery

While longing for love in despair, "I'm changing myself"

I tell such lies to the honest you

You're just hopeless

You're just full of lies

I'll fall in love with

You who are so ugly

I love you

You just look like a piece of garbage to me

I long for you

You'd be broken without me

I really need you

You need me for your self-pity

I love you

This love is just sympathy

I love you because I long for you

I long for you because I need you

I need you because I love you

But even then, your love is just a fake

I love you, I hate you,

You have to become mine

What's so clean and pure about it?

Our love's a big mistake

Tell me all of your lies

Love me, love me Love me, love me

LOVE ME, LOVE ME, LOVE ME, LOVE ME

You're just hopeless

You're just full of lies

I'll fall in love with

You who are so ugly

I love you

You just look like a piece of garbage to me

I long for you

You'd be broken without me

I really need you

You need me for your self-pity

I love you

This love is just sympathy

I love you because I long for you

I long for you because I need you

I need you because I love you

But even then, your love is just a fake

Clasp your hands together

And bow down to me

I'm shouting, "please, please, please, please"

If you'd do anything

To show me your love

Bow down to me, you sinner, sinner, sinner

Clasp your hands together

And bow down to me

I'm shouting, "please, please, please, please"

If you'd do anything

To show me your love

Bow down to me, you sinner, sinner, sinner

I love you

You just look like a piece of garbage to me

I long for you

You'd be broken without me

I really need you

You need me for your self-pity I love you

This love is just sympathy

I love you because

I long for you

I long for you because I need you

I need you because I love you

But even then, your love is just a fake

I love you because I long for you
State of Colisia

Colisia is located in the centre of Paludumia.

**Colisia**, officially the **State of Colisia**, is a constituent state of Paludumia (which is itself a constituent state of the Holy States). Its territory encompasses the extreme hills north of Thornia in its south to the southern fringes of the Sabaran desert in the north. Its capital is the village of Colisia, an indigenous settlement along the Colisia River.

## History

Colisia state was established on 28 November 2019 as part of amendments to the November Declaration. The modern region of Colisia was discovered during the period following the colonisation of Thornia in 2016. The South Seas Company's private navy searched for existing settlements along the coast but failed to find any. The company ordered the navy to investigate river systems, where the navy discovered the village of Colisia.

## Economy

The state's economy is largely limited to trading among its indigenous population. Handcrafted goods are its main industry domestically, while acacia wood has become the main export industry of the state.

Development is still largely funded by the State of Thornia.
Free City of Shanjing government-in-exile

The **Free City of Shanjing** was an unrecognised state that served as a de facto Thornian puppet state. The Free City's government ruled over the Greater Shanjing area in between the Thornian Civil War and the July Mutiny in Great Thornia.

The administration originated from the bureaucracy established by the United Nations to oversee peacekeeping activities in the city after the Thornian Army rescued the city from total anarchy. It gradually evolved into a new city government, with many capitalist and nationalist factions in control of most departments.

The withdrawal of Thornian forces to fight in the Thornian Civil War allowed the Chen Empire's military to moderately re-assert control over the city for a brief period. Their opposition to nationalist groups led to numerous protests and riots on the streets of Shanjing. The Thornian Army retook the city in the aftermath of the Thornian Civil War at the height of the civil unrest in the city, and grouped the city's nationalist groups into the Xandunese Nationalist Party (XNP). Chen-installed ruralist city council members were ousted and replaced with XNP members. The city was granted nominal independence and the XNP went on to heavily abuse their power through corruption and intimidation.

The second withdrawal of Thornian forces allowed the city to nearly collapse into total anarchy before Chen forces arrived to retake the city. The XNP government was ousted, but many found refuge in Agenetmae before being evacuated to Palus by the retreating Thornian military. The XNP established a government-in-exile in Palus and were largely protected by the Thornian presidency throughout the infighting in Thornia.

The XNP pivoted to campaigning for Xandu's integration into the Thornian world and denounced the rural, pastoralist attitudes of the Chen Empire and past Xandunese governments.
Ume City

**Ume** **City** is the capital of the State of Umia. The city is located on the eastern coast of the Western continent in the Umic plains.

Much of the city is a patchwork of various historical Old Earth architectural styles. Disagreements over urban planning have caused the city's growth to stagnate. Most of the city is tightly packed around the original village which had undergone a conversion to stone buildings. The city's poor planning could be considered the catalyst for Ume's expansion out of the plains in search of a better, less-hilly location for settlements. One such example of this is Palus Urbem, surpassed Ume City in development and quality of living in late 2019.

The city's economy is supported by timber, mining, agriculture, and potion brewing. The formation of charcoal manufacturing companies and estates in the city have allowed the national government to refocus its resources on defence and trade rather than subsistence cottage industry. Armoury and redstone electronics are relatively new and rapidly expanding industries.

A canal tunnel was built some time between the second and fourth republics to connect the Ume River with the unnamed river that led out to the sea. The canal has not been used as often since the advent of nether travel. This was the world's only canal until the The Ranges Canal was built in Thornia.

The city lacks any form of public transportation. It formerly had horses for all residents and visitors to use but the city council's decision to move the animal pens out of the city centre has meant that citizens had to take several horses each to their estates as new stables are being constructed.

## Status as the capital

For much of Ume City's existence, it was the capital of the Umic state that was centered around the Umic plains and its colonies abroad. The burgeoning democracy that defined the city's political character gave its citizens pride in their city. As the citizenry participated less in the democratic process after 2016, the city was controlled via the patronage of the North Umic and South Umic aristocracy.

The rise of Thornica, which eventually became Marsh Town, then Palus Urbem, saw Ume City face an economic rival within its own national borders. The discovery of massive quantities of natural resources encouraged Ume City's more industrious citizens to leave for the northern colonies. By 2019, Palus Urbem had become a mini-metropolis in its own right and had surpassed Ume City in its ability to quickly build up infrastructure and buildings for numerous public facilities. The November Declaration by the Thornian government saw it proclaim its own regional capital as the new national capital.

The Palus Plan saw much of the city's inhabitants emigrate to the Bay of Palus. By late November 2019, Ume City was no longer a formal capital in any form. In mid December 2019, the city and its surrounding territory became a federal territory of the League of Palus.
Meridian Thalassocracy

The Meridia is shaded in green.

The **Meridian Socialist Thalassocracy** is a state encompassing the southern half of the Goruid peninsula, the Bircalania region on the central continent, and the Coral Islands. Its capital is Baoratovia, located at the southern tip of Goruid.

The state is a de facto puppet state under the control of the Northern Revolutionary Socialist Party (which also rules over Aphthonis and the Commonwealth). It was established at the start of the League-Commonwealth crisis after the Crown realised the Thornian Empire was over-extended in the hope that future players would eventually be able to fill the capacity to rule the region. It later transitioned into a socialist state after the beginning of NRSP rule in the north.
Elatz

**Elatz** was a proposed megapolis that would act as one of two capital cities of Thornia-Aphthonis, and the capital of the Union of Thornia and Ume. It would have been the largest city in the world by area and population, and would be the sole city classified as a megapolis. The city would be spread out across the entire northern shore of the Bay of Thornia, with three major districts on either end - Elysia in the east, Palus Urbem and Cataracta to its west.

The city would be divided into multiple "federated" local government areas (MLGAs), which could be further divided into local government areas (LGAs). MLGAs and LGAs are led by a Mayor. If the area has a large enough population, the Mayor may choose to put decisions to public debate and run plebiscites. Due to a lack of laws for urban governance, Mayors may be elected or may choose their own successor.

In April 2022, the Elatz plan was enacted as the Palus Bay Area. Unlike the original plan, it only included the original Palus Urbem, Cataracta, and Metropolitan City of Elysia areas (excluding the land bridges between all three cities). Regardless, this new region is the largest and sole megapolis in the world.
Achalonate of Elysia

Banner of the Achalonate (and the former Province of Elysia)

The **Achalonate of Elysia** was a state within the Imperial Federation of Thornia and of the Union of Volovna. Its capital was its namesake city of Elysia. It was the direct successor of the Province of Elysia and much of its government and civil service was inherited from the federal government of the former state of Great Thornia.

The achalonate was the second largest top-level administrative division of the Thornian Empire. Its territory spanned the northern half of the Goruid peninsula, from the northern Volovnese Coast to the northern coast of Lake Goruid in the south. The title of its leader, "Achalon", is equivalent to "Despot". Despite being an autonomous state and being the supposed political centre of the empire, its government was in an informal union with the Voranate of Petrodis.

It was the wealthiest and most densely populated state of the empire. Much of its wealth came from internal trading, mining, and agriculture. It was also the most developed state as it has a welfare system, a public housing program, and a variety public transportation options.

In February 2023, the Achalonate of Elysia was elevated to the Kingdom of Thornia in the 2023 Treaty of Petrodis. The Achalonate was re-established in March 2023 after the proclamation of the unitary empire. The original government and civil service that became the government of the Kingdom was promoted to imperial-government-at-large. A new Achalonate government was established, with most of its responsibilities reduced to law enforcement.
East Tyavyli

**East Tyavyli** is a state of the the Democratic Federation of Tyavyli. Its capital is Ty Town, located in the west of the state. Its territory covers almost the entirety of the plains portion of the Tyavyli Valley. It borders the League of Palus to the east and the No Man's Land (the former United Nations Common Zone) to the north.

## History

East Tyavyli was established in late 2019, shortly after Snuldavich decided to form a union with the Democratic Republic of Tyavyli (DRT; which comprised the entirety of East Tyavyli and West Tyavyli).

Public information is scarce on what occurred that led to the separation of East and West Tyavyli, with Dimithri's regime continuing on in East Tyavyli whilst former Tyrant Jason assumed leadership of the west. It is also unclear if East Tyavyli is the legal successor state to the DRT. This has directly contributed to a debt crisis with the Central Bank of Paludumia over whether East Tyavyli inherited the DRT's debt or if the federation inherited it.

## Economy

East Tyavyli is not known to have any major industries except for rail construction. Almost all resources of the state have been directed to the rail project that started under Dimithri's prime ministership of the DRT.

### Debt crisis

*See: East Tyavyli debt crisis*

The state's finances are assumed to be dire. During Dimithri's DRT regime (in late 2019) he requested for and was granted a loan of 2 stacks of iron ingot from Great Thornia via the Central Bank of Paludumia. Creditors at the bank were initially optimistic that the loan would be repaid timely. However it became clear within a few weeks that it would be unlikely to be repaid, and thus the bank set steep interest rates that had inflated the overall amount owed by 4.5 times (from 2 stacks to 9 stacks).

The poor response from the state government to warnings about the ballooning price eventually led to a deterioration of relations with Great Thornia, with Great Thornia imposing a trade embargo on the state.
Cataracta

**Cataracta**, formerly known as **Two Waterfalls**, is a town built on the southern coast of the Bay of Palus, across the bay from the regional capital of Palus Urbem. It was founded in 2019 on a peninsula surrounded by two waterfalls off the west of the main mountain ranges of southern Thornia. It serves as the de facto capital of southern Thornia.

Unlike other Thornian settlements, its roads are paved with diorite as cobblestone blends too well with the rocky terrain. Its architecture is also a blend of Umic and Thornian styles as they could be easily built from the materials available in the area.

The town serves as the main port of southern Thornia and has superseded Hill Town as the main processing centre in the region.

On 2 December 2019, Wey Yao was appointed Mayor of Cataracta and District Chief of the Cataracta District (which encompasses the entire extreme hills biome). The Cataracta settlement was consolidated under the district government, and the district became a part of the Palus Capital Territory.
Great Thornia territorial reduction decree of April 2020

The **Great Thornia territorial reduction decree of April 2020**, or in short-form the **TRD**, is a decree issued by the Great Thornia NRSP regime on 18 April 2020 that saw the country voluntarily loose about a third of its territory.

The decree was abandoned after the restoration of the monarchy (Aphthonis' regained all territories south of the Last River), and legally replaced altogether in August 2020 by the historical Huang-Ume treaty (whereby Xandu regained the lost territories of Shantouxian and the Jungle Territory).

## Reasons

This was largely a consequence of a naval exercise in the Sabaran, Merosian, and Goruid Seas to determine the feasibility of a defensive operation across the coasts of Aphthonis and Galinisia.

The rapid development of Volovna and the discovery of massive quantities of rare earth minerals in the North Goruid region demonstrated that expansive colonisation of territories beyond the Goruid peninsula was not necessary. It was previously thought that such large concentrations of resources could only be found around Elysia.

### Reasons for the decree's abandonment

The concerns behind the decree were later replaced by concerns over the future geopolitical situation as Thornia re-entered the now-faultering League of Palus and the weakened state of the Chen dynasty opened up the west and northwest to future Tyavylian expansion or even the founding of new states there.

The restored and heavily modified Huang-Ume treaty sought to recreate the former Xandunese Empire as a buffer state between Thornia and the great unknown of the far west as well as against a developing Tyavyli to its south.

Thornia's re-entry into the League has also made Upper Xandu (the provinces of Nanshan and Beishan) the most 'insured' territory in the world as the Chen dynasty, Thornia, and the rest of the League all have legal obligations to protect it in times of war.

## Territorial changes

### Provinces abandoned

* Scovia
* Aldeby
* Yamna
* Darrowby

### Provincial boundaries amended

* East and West Aphthonis reunified as Aphthonis.
* Meridia gains the eastern extreme hills of the Province of Elysia.
	+ Port Meridia and Forest Town renamed to Porta and Zvaaten, respectively.
	+ Porta replaces Baoratovia as the provincial capital.
South Ume

**South Ume**, formerly known as **Bircalanium**, is a constituent state of the Holy States. It was founded in mid-to-late 2016 during Ume's period of expansion along the coast. The first settlement in the province was Birca, which now serves as the capital.

The province has long been used as Ume's launching ground for military incursions into Tyavyli and for naval exploration of the Gnokka Sea. The Umic naval vessels normally do not go beyond the Irony Islands (a region of the province).
Thornian folk religion

The **Thornian folk religion** is a religious belief system practiced throughout the territories of Great Thornia. It practices the worship of several deities who represent different aspects of nature and everyday life. It is an amalgamation of the Umic religion of Aiwanism and several indigenous deity worship practices found throughout Goruid and the Aphthonic mainland.
Armed Forces of Thornia-Aphthonis

*Not to be confused with the **Armed Forces of Thornia** and the now-defunct **Thornian Army**.*

The **Armed Forces of Thornia-Aphthonis** are the military of Thornia-Aphthonis. It is responsible for the defence of Great Thornia, and formerly Thornia-Aphthonis and its dependent territories as a whole. It is under the command of the Council of Governors, the assembly of all provincial governors across both the Great Thornia. During wartime, a Supreme Commander may be elected by the council to lead it.

The armed forces have adopted the ongoing Pillager Wars from its predecessor. Fighting has largely subsided to a few skirmishes in the desert regions of Aphthonis, though a major attack on Petrodis on 16 April 2022 by at least a dozen waves of pillager attacks has led to an escalation with the Thornians going on the offensive in the Dobresian Lowlands.

## Branches

### Active branches

The armed forces consists of the Territorial Defence Force and the Border & Expeditionary Force.

#### Territorial Defence Force

The Territorial Defence Force (TDF), formerly the Civil Defence Force, is reserve force responsible for the defence of the country in the event of an attack by a foreign aggressor or internal agitator. All citizens are automatically considered members of the TDF. It is an amphibious force, with all members required to undergo both land and maritime training.

The only standing part of the TDF is the Volovna Brigade, which is based in Volovna and has a command area spanning the entirety of Aphthonis and the Province of Elysia. It is actively fighting a low-level conflict against pillager forces in these regions. The Palus Brigade is a reserve battalion based in Palus Urbem. An additional Ume Brigade, based in Ume City, is under consideration.

The Volovna Brigade also doubles as the main intelligence wing of the TDF. It took up the domestic and foreign intelligence responsibilities of the now-defunct Logistics Operations Corps in late March 2022.

##### Brigades

* Volovna Brigade
* Palus Brigade
* Ume Brigade

### Defunct branches

Both the Border & Expeditionary Force and the Logistics Operations Corps were absorbed into the Civil Defence Force before it was renamed to the Territorial Defence Force.

#### Border & Expeditionary Force

The Border & Expeditionary Force (BEF) was a volunteer force that all citizens may participate in. It was responsible for border security and immigration, and in times of war it would have been used for foreign endeavours. The BEF would have been deactivated in the event of an invasion, with all active BEF members automatically transferring to the TDF or LOC. Like the former Civil Defence Force, it was an amphibious force with active patrols in the Umic and South Seas, as well as the land borders with the Chen Empire and the Democratic Federation of Tyavyli.

#### Logistics Operations Corps

The Logistics Operations Corps (LOC) was a non-combat agency responsible for logistics and intelligence in times of war. It was responsible for transporting weapons, equipment, food supplies, and potions between storage facilities and warzones.
Sabara Economic Zone

Trident banner of the city of Volovna. Also considered the symbol of the SEZ.

The **Sabara Economic Zone** (SEZ) was a joint trading zone and fiscal union of the provinces of Elysia and Petrodis (taking the place of the former region of South Aphthonis). It was headquartered in the city of Volovna. The union allowed entities (companies and individuals) to trade with minimal restrictions (aside from trading laws/rules imposed by the SEZ itself) and for both governments to share their treasuries.

The zone was named after the Sabara Sea which separates the Goruid peninsula from southern Aphthonis. A light varient of the trident banner of Volovna was adopted as the banner of the zone, with the trident being a significantly deified symbol of the settlements surrounding the Sabara Sea.

From April to November 2022, both governments had been dominated by the Reformist Party and *de facto* function as a single, unified government. The zone was briefly dissolved in favour of directly unifying both member regions into Metropolitan Thornia, but that was dissolved in favour of reviving the provinces after backlash from regions outside Metropolitan Thornia.

In November 2022, the SEZ ceased to exist after the Coup of the Moderates in Great Thornia and the end of party politics. The informal union between Elysia and Petrodis has persisted through new arrangements via the Imperial Federation of Thornia.
Great Thornia Metro

The **Great Thornia Metro** is a rapid transit rail network that services both the Metropolitan City of Elysia and the Palus Capital Territory. It is planned to also expand into all mainland boroughs of the Province of Elysia.

The rail network is funded entirely by the government of Great Thornia. It was first proposed by Dimithri, former President of Tyavyli. The proposal was expanded upon in Palus Plan II. The rail network was also inspired by the Shanjing Metro. Unlike Dimithri's proposal, the Great Thornia Metro is not expanded to go further in-land in the central continent to connect with other nations' rail networks.

Despite being called a 'metro' rail network, calling it the 'Great Thornia Metro' ties into the vision of the rail lines allowing for the merger of all settlements in Greater Palus and North Goruid into one mega-metropolis.

## Lines

The rail lines of the Great Thornia Metro use letters for identification. A line is usually a group of rail lines connected to each other on the same track level on the same platform at a station.

All lines are required to be two-way so that at a station, a passenger can take a cart back to the opposite direction from which they came into the station. This avoids the problem of requiring a passenger to take the cart along the entire route of a rail loop as seen in the Shanjing Metro.

Incomplete stops/stations are in *italics*.

### Line A

**Line A** or the **Palus Line** was the first completed line of the metropolitan rail network. It is the first two-way rail track in the world (those in Shanjing and Ty have single-rail loops). Its stations are yet to be updated with the 'cactii contraption' to automatically eject passengers at stations and move the cart to the opposite-facing rail line.

* Palus Urbem (Palus Island Station)
* Cataracta

### Line B

**Line B** or the **Central Goruid Line** is the first rail line to be built on the Goruid peninsula. It is the first to use the 'cactii contraption' and set the standard for multi-stop rail lines. Passengers are required to disembark at each stop and move up the platform to take another cart to the next station. It is still under construction.

* Elysia (Elysia Station)
* Mesapedia
* *Carcea*
* *Altium*

### Line C

**Line C** or the **North Goruid Line** is planned to be the longest rail line in the world. It will connect almost all the major settlements in northern Goruid, snaking through the northern suburbs of Elysia through The Neck, all the way to Volovna. It is still under construction.

* Elysia (Agora of Elysia Station)
* New Ume
* *Voreikolpos*
* *Plisiefriourio*
* *Raiga*
* *Adanon*
* *Renos*
* *Volovna*

### Line D

**Line D** or the **Bridge Line** is a planned line that will connect the Palus Capital Territory with the Metropolitan City of Elysia. This line will start at Voreikolpos Station on the next track level above Line C, before heading west along the land bridge connecting Goruid to Palus where it will stop at Gefyraxira Station. From Gefyraxira, it will then head to The Landing Station within Palus Urbem.

* *Voreikolpos*
* *Gefyraxira*
* *Palus Urbem (The Landing Station)*
Palus Plan III

**Palus Plan III** or **PP3** or **The Eight Points** was a reform proposal for the League of Palus. With the Palus Plan II being largely ignored and the events of the Pillager Wars changing the global political situation, there had been a resurgence in political conservatism that has seen a yearning for the early days of the Umic Republic.

This plan was the first major reform proposal since Great Thornia's return to the League.

With Thornia's transition to democracy and federalism in October 2020, it is likely that the plan will be carried piece-by-piece rather than through a session of the Citizen's Assembly as was seen with the implementation of the first Palus Plan.

## The Eight Points

* Make the League Council the main legislative and executive body. The Citizen's Assembly should only be called in times of an emergency (e.g. if not enough League Council members are not online).
* Re-establish the Directorate, which would see League Councillers gaining certain responsibilities. There would likely be no position for infrastructure as states would retain the right to build their own infrastructure. One of the councillers would be in charge of foreign policy but all councillers should have a right to negotiate on behalf of the League with other nations.
* Retain the position of Hegemon, but make it a purely ceremonial position.
* Reinstate the joint government status of the Palus swamp, the Cataracta District, and the east coast of Shuxian's Domain. The position of Mayor of Palus will no longer be held by the head of state of Great Thornia. The Mayor could be any citizen of the League's member states, whether or not they are on the council. However the League Council must formally approve the most popular candidate before they can enter office.
* Re-establish the League military as the League Forces. Funding to the joint military should resume immediately. Supply stockpiles in major regional centres should be established.
* Cede the Birca region to the Democratic Federation of Tyavyli as a federal territory in order to reinvigorate development. Create the Free City of Ume, which would incorporate the existing Ume City region and the extreme hills peninsula across the sea.
* Great Thornia should pass its administrative responsibilities in Xandu to the League.
* Aid to West Tyavyli and Snuldavich should be provided.
Federated Districts of Palusia

Palusia is highlighted in turquoise.

The **Federated Districts of Palusia** is a federation (*de facto* confederation) of autonomous districts of the Thornian Empire and their dependencies. The federation was initially formed simply as *Palusia* in the aftermath of the Chen-Thornia War and long-term political rivalry between the Imperial Crown of Thornia and the ethnic Umic majority cities of the continental mainland.

Its member states include the cities of Cataracta, Palus (its namesake), and Ume, as well as the dependency of the Ironie Islands. The federation previously controlled the regions of Travonia and Trabonia in between Palus and Cataracta, and Zhongshan (formerly Xandu), but subsequently lost both regions to the Crown Lands within a month of the federation's formation after the Palusia Farmers' Revolt.

The cities are usually under the hegemony of a single Lord Mayor or Mayor of one of its three member cities. The lack of a single official leader has led to legal experts contesting the definition of the districts as a federation rather than as a confederation. However, all three members are collectively under the hegemony of the Thornian Empire. The Emperor of Thornia is sovereign of the federation, but uses the title of **King of Palusia** within the districts.

Thornia has only ever had one real leader, albeit the title of its leader has undergone numerous changes as the system of government of Thornia has changed frequently.

## List of heads of state

The title of the head of state of Thornia has cycled between that of a monarchy, republic, and dictatorship frequently throughout the nation's history. Real political power has not been continuously held by the head of state, with January to March 2020 and October 2020 to the present being examples of times where the head of state has been more of a figurehead or has not had real power over internal national affairs.

## List of heads of government

Thornia has never had an official head of government, but it has had a de facto head of government at numerous points in its history. Real executive power was and is held by what is now the State Secretariat during the early days of Great Thornia and from the Third Republic onwards. The head of state held all political power from March 2020 to 2 October 2020.

## Lyrics

Basically, i bet you'll see

At first i'm not quite what i seem

I'll be sure to put a smile

On your silly ugly faces

Everything is show and tell the eyes don't fool and mess around

Hold our hands and sing along-

Nothing lines up anymore

I could never believe that people aren't what they seem

Everybody hides their face how could i have noticed?

Nonetheless, we're all the same

That many things are in our heads

Show your smile and sing along-

Nothing lines up anymore

Turn about and on an axis

Circulate the fear around you

Make a storm of tears and anger

Ah, my dear, don't worry 'bout me

You and i were made to dispose

We'll consume the things around us

Just accept the things you know and look around

Wait

What is going on here? i'm a little out of sorts

I can feel it slipping sanity and things that scare me

Why not try to let go? i've been feeling out of order

Take it step my step now take a good look, this is me

This is what i've come to be

This is what i've come to be

Close your eyes and watch the screen

Display the things you dare not see

I'll be laughing evermore

Everything is show and tell

The eyes don't fool and mess around

Hold our hands and sing along-

Nothing matters anymore

Cachinno, perdet eam, uertigine, ego sum- (Laughing loudly, losing it, whirling, I am-)

Parare, exacuetur, currendo, ego sum- (Preparing, sharpening, moving around, I am-)

Renidet usque ad vos, rideo, rideo, ego sum- (Grinning at you, laughing, laughing, I am-)

Cachinno, perdet eam, uertigine, ego sum- (Laughing loudly, losing it, whirling, I am-)

Oh, what the hell should i do? i've been feeling out of order

I am slowly losing it sanity and things that see me

Face the reality i'm a little out of sorts

Wear a crooked smile, now

This is what i've come to be

This is what i shouldn't be

This is what i want to be
Thornia under the Transitional Council

Banner of the Transitional Council

### Government

*De jure:* Provisional government under supervision by military junta*De facto:* Authoritarian regime under military rule

### Founding

August 2020

The **Thornian People's Transitional Council for Public Safety and Responsible Governance** was the provisional government ruling over Great Thornia following the overthrow of the unpopular monarchist-socialist regime. It was also known as the **Golden Trident** due to the golden trident symbol on its banner and the fact that the council is effectively indistinguishable from the Order of the Golden Trident.

Thornia was the sole surviving nation of The Great Plague and, despite being destabilised by the overthrow of the monarchy, took advantage of the greater global chaos to claim almost every other nation before backing down to restore the pre-2020 world order.

The Transitional Council had been dominated by the Order of the Golden Trident, a militaristic religious order that worships a combination of the Umic Aiwanist faith, Aphthonic polytheism, and Xandunese kebabism. Despite the order's relatively forward-thinking liberal ideals, it had been rather conservative with restoring the world order as it has not imposed any new ideologies nor new systems of government.

The council was dissolved on 17 September 2020 when the office of Chief of State was established. The military has largely taken over administration of the state, whilst the Order of the Golden Trident has largely stepped away from publicly-facing operations. Its idealology has largely defined that of the current Thornian State.

## Changes

The Transitional Council had largely reversed many of the decisions made by the Crown throughout much of early to mid 2020. It had also vested in Thornia the responsibilities of treaties long-abandoned by the League of Palus (as a successor state to the Umic Republic).

### All changes

* Thornia's membership with the League of Palus resumed (of Thornia-proper, only Goruid will be within the area protected by the League). Palus Urbem had been allowed to resume its status as capital of the League.
* Xandunese membership with the League had been somewhat resumed, albeit under Thornia's membership due to the Chen dynasty's administration being inactive. This was later reversed when Thornia withdrew its remaining military assets from Xandu and transferred its administrative responsibilities to the League (during the September Coup).
* The cancellation of Tyavyli's debts to Thornia were upheld.
* Some aspects of the Huang dynasty era treaty between Xandu and the Umic Republic regarding the border between the modern Shantouxian Area and Aphthonis were restored. Thornia's fairly intermittent claims over Shantouxian and the Jungle Territory were transferred to Thornian-occupied Xandu (guaranteed to continue when the Chen dynasty resumes administration of Xandu). This was later reversed when the Thornian provinces of Anypsosi and Petrodis continued the occupation of these territories, respectively.
Gfadi

**Gfadi** is a settlement on the island of Chirgis and serves as the island nation's capital. It is located on the island's western mountain range, where it sits atop a partially natural and partially man-made plateau. The settlement's buildings are largely constructed out of wood.

It is the only settlement on the island that is allowed to be extended, as per the order of the Argan. The rest of the island is dedicated to agricultural activities.

Gfadi's stone bay and steep coastal cliffs are planned to be the site of a large warehouse and housing complex. These facilities would be carved into the mountains rather than built around them.
Central Bank of Paludumia

The **Central Bank of Paludumia** (CBoP) is the central banking authority of the League of Palus (previously the Holy States). It was founded on 26 November 2019 under the Palus Plan. It is headquartered in Palus Urbem, the capital of the league. The bank is by-right the governorship of the Hegemon of the League of Palus.

The bank collapsed during the Pillager War as Great Thornia left the League and blocked the rest of the League from accessing the city of Palus, where the headquarters of the bank are located.

## Interest rate

The CBoP is responsible for setting the overall interest rate for loans of the League of Palus. See the CBoP Interest Rate page for a history of interest rates.
Tyrant of Ty

> "Power in the hands of me is justified."
>
>

The Tyrant of Ty was a powerful political leader and theorist who lead the nation during the Golden Age of Tyavyliin its prime from the aftermath First Upheaval to Tyrant's Downfall. He was the first dictator that had claimed the city of Ty, and currently is the last. His defeat and his surrender to the marked justice of the United Nations on the aftermath of the Tyrant's Downfall are highlights of the powers of the current Tyavylian Government. The Tyrant was known to be both murderous and cruel, but the nation he left behind was stronger because of his resolve and economic decisions.

## Ideology

### Central Power

The Tyrant was a true believer in the concept of a centralized power inside a nation, in where the entire strength of a nation, or at least as much as physically possible would be geared towards a particular activity at one time. His policies hence forth were aimed at harnessing the manpower of the nation at any cost to produce certain materials needed for the glorification of state.

### Glorification of State

Whilst harnessing the man-power of the nation to produce and procure rare materials, the Tyrant sought to build structures for the single purpose of highlighting the power of Ty. This lead to the construction of a rail network that connected Central Tyavylito its outlying, neighboring province.

### Internal State

The Tyrant aimed to place a far greater emphasis on how the state functioned as a whole over what he deemed as useless and unnecessary international diplomacy - although this did lead to his eventual defeat at the hands of Umic funded rebels.

## Achievements:

* Tyvali Rail Network
* The rapid expansion of agriculture as a viable export

Others : ...

## Timeline:

* First Upheaval - This is where the Tyrant managed to come into power. Upon entry into politics, the incumbent was quickly engaged to work in the mines gathering resources far from the political hub that was the main Ty city.
* Golden Age - The Tyrant began a significant infrastructure splurge, allowing new technologies to be formed and tested out as viable possibilities for a future Ty. This included the forerunners of the automatic wheat farms being used in Ume, one of which is still functional in Ty to this day, as well as other automatic wheat farms being tested.
* Tyrant's Downfall - Umic funded rebels displaced the Tyrant and forced him to submit to the international justice dealt by the United Nations. The dictator was forced into involuntary servitude to the government that replaced the Tyrant.
The Great North

**The Great North** or the **Northern Colonies** or **Colonia Septentrio**, formerly **Araloi** and **Sava**, is an Umic province that covers the north-eastern quarter of the central continent. Although much of its territory is desert, savannas, and jungle, it contains a vast number of villages, making potentially the most heavily populated and urbanised region of Umia. It was claimed by Ume City around the same time as South Ume in a race against the Xandunese to control the world's only known deserts. Both countries ended up splitting the region into half along the Sava Line.

The province's *de jure* capital is Sabara (formerly *Serava*) on the southern coast (just across the Serava Strait from Eastern Thornia), but it is *de facto* ruled from Palus Urbem by the Paludumian government. The province is, by the current arrangement with the provisional government of Umia, a territory collectively governed via the Citizen's Council. However, real power is in the hands of the Paludumian government which rules the province as another region of Paludumia. Paludumia annexed The Great North in November 2019 and calls the territory the *Northern Colonies* or *Colonia Septentrio*.

The Great North is composed of three regions:

* **Greater Serava** which comprises the vast savanna lands in the south-eastern third of the province.
* **The Great Northern Frontier** which comprises the vast deserts and plains in the northern third of the province.
* **The Jungle Lands** which is made up entirely of jungle in the south-western third of the province.

The Paludumian provincial militia and the Xandunese army often make close encounters with the border (along the Shantouxian Area on the Xandunese side and The Great Northern Frontier on the Umic side) as both sides are often suspicious of attempts to claim villages in the vast territory.
Histography of Thornia

The history of Thornia can be divided into numerous periods and eras within these periods. Thornia's history is generally regarded to have begun with the landing at Palus Island in 2016.

## Early history (2016-2017)

### Colonial Era (early 2016 - late 2016)

Thornian history begins with the discovery of Palus Island, then named Steaker's Island due to the disproportionately large number of cows found on the island. The discovery was made by the South Seas Company, an Umic private corporation that dealt with all kinds of trades along the Umic Sea. Despite its name indicating its interests were in the South Umic Sea and Bircan Sea, it had decided to venture northward after the settlement at Birca found the region to be unprofitable and the nearby Tyavylians to be unwilling to trade.

A small camp was established on the island and it was only revisited occassionally. The island became important as a source for clay, timber, coal, beef, lilypads, and vines. The camp gradually gained the name 'Thornica', though its origins have been forgotten.

### Early Nationalist Era (late 2016 - mid 2017)

The settlement in the Palus swamp gradually expanded to encompass the whole island and agriculture moved to the mainland swamp. The gradual exploration of the region and the exploitation of its natural resources allowed the colony to grow quickly. The city council of Ume City almost continuously agrued against further development in the region and insisted that resources be shipped to Ume City. The colony grew irritated due to the lack of support and instead a national identity was born.

#### Kingdom of Oster (late 2016 - early 2017)

The dispute with Ume City culminated with the decision to secede and form the Kingdom of Oster. The kingdom expanded into what are now the Elysian Plains in northern Goruid. The kingdom later renamed itself to the Kingdom of Thornia.

#### Reunification with Ume (early 2017 - mid 2017)

After much pleading from Ume, Thornia reunified with Ume after it accepted proposals to reform to better accomodate the former colony's economic interests and to expand trade.
