Commonwealth of Relveth

## Overview

The Commonwealth of Relveth is a monarchy, located in the northern part of Relveth. It gained independence from the nation of Brastilia, but was called the Holy Kingdom of Julai. The Commonwealth of Relveth was formed when a collection of Relvethian cities united under their king, Gatonrue. The nation has a medium sized population and has a decent economy.

## History of the Commonwealth of Relveth

The Commonwealth of Relveth has a long history spanning from August of 2022 to the present. In early August of 2022, 3 fleeing immigrants named, Erich Von Burger, Kani, and Gatonrue Afuios Quezo left their home town called St. Karlsburg to found Linkesto. They started the nation of Astoneate, but this was not recognized by any other nations due to it's lack of population and low diplomatic meetings. A small number of people joined the town, which started new infrastructure projects that Gatonrue and the GreatDeer, one of the new citizens, did.

In September of 2022, the nation of Astoneate became inactive, with only Gatonrue being on. This made the nation go into a depression that lasted until late October when a few settlers came into Linkesto. By this time, Gatonrue started to negotiate with a man named Glass, who wanted to form a nation called Brastilia. After the depression in the nation, it was left weak so Gatonrue decided to join the nation of Brastilia. Soon the economy of Linkesto boosted as Gatonrue let businesses into the town and more settlers came in. This led to new ideas such as a monarchy and democracy.

The nation of Brastilia slowly became more authoritarian as October of 2022 came and Glass soon titled himself as dictator. This upset the democratic and monarchist parties in the nation, who were mostly situated in Linkesto, were parties could thrive. They started to communicate and talked about a coup. They eventually decided to just rebel from Brastilia, which led to the Battle of Linkesto which gave the Linkestins independence. They formed the Holy Kingdom of Julai, named after there god Julai.

The mayor of Linkesto, Gatonrue, became the leader of this newly created country. With the economy doing well in Linkesto and the population growing, Julai expanded into the west and north. These 2 towns were named Latifundium and Vazarick. The 2 towns soon expanded and had a growing population as well. As the Holy Kingdom of Julai grew, Gatonrue started to build a military which would be reliable and cheap for the newly created nation.

The mayor of Vazarick, Augustus, soon left to become a pirate. This left the nation in shock as the northern town of Vazarick was destroyed. Gatonrue handled this by bringing in more citizens into the 2 towns. Soon the population of the nation calmed down and everything was normal again. This peace was ended abruptly when a message arrived in Linkesto that said the northern town of the Falklands was gathering an army to destroy the Holy Kingdom of Julai. Gatonrue gather a force of volunteers and moved to the abandoned town of Roskildheim, preparing to intercept the Falklander army. When no army came, Gatonrue marched to the town of the Falklands to organize a peaceful meeting. After hours of talking, the meeting turned into the formation of the Commonwealth of Relveth.

This new nation incorporated the towns of Latifundium, Falklands, and Linkesto which made it one of the most dominant powers in Relveth. Kani, one of the nation's founders wanted to gain more access to northern resources, so he settled the town of Rosenstadt, which expanded the nation into Roskildheim territories. As Roskildheim had collasped, no one expected anyone to protest this, but the Roskildheim tribes did. Roskildheim tribes attacked the town of Rosenstadt, destroying infrastructure and disrupting trade. This horrified the population which wanted the end of the tribe attacks. People settled west as they heard of this and founded the town of Mjolnir.

A road project started soon enough which connected Linkesto to Rosenstadt, this allowed easier tranportation of resources and soldiers to defend the town. The Roskildheim tribe attacks stopped being so frequent and the area is under control now. Though attacks in the north stopped, an approaching power came from the south. This was Feirovait who expanded across Relveth, capturing the neutral town of Paradizna. This was worrying to Gatonrue, who tried to have peace talks with the Feirovaits. They wanted the Commonwealth to become a protectorate, with no other alliances with any other nations either than them. Gatonrue denied this, and one of his diplomats, Kani, got Mush to join the Commonwealth. War is starting to brew in the Relvethian continent.

Though the Commonwealth of Relveth was strong land wise, it was not to strong economically or militarily. The country started to mobilize it's military to prepare for war, and it built walls all across the city of Linkesto. As it was mobilizing, it spent large amounts of money, worsening the economic situation and drying out the nation fund. The nation soon started to collapse and finally on the 1/30/23 it officially collapsed with all the city states splitting away from the Commonwealth.
