Siderios

# The State of Siderios

On January 7th, 2021, Siderios was formed. Fourjex, BetaCayde, and Wormom founded the nation on a peninsula in south modern day Italy. This was the start of what would soon become a nation with a rich story and shall continue on...

### Flags

Since the creation of Siderios, there have been three official flags. Two made by BetaCayde, and one by Wormom. The first one by BetaCayde features a half green, half grey base. In the middle is a gray fleur-de-lis on a green circle with a thick white border. It also features 4 offset circles. The flag by Wormom has a green background, with two diagonal gray lines. The flag also features two crossed pickaxes in the middle. The flag by BetaCayde has been redesigned in blue and is currently in use, with other government flags in development.

### Acuity-The Magna Capitolium

Where the first three players landed in Siderios, the great capitol of Acuity was founded. Boasting many houses, a park, and an amazing fountain, Acuity is a very beautiful city, and spans just over 105 chunks. . This is where many significant events in the history of Siderios took place.

### Verity-Secundo Civitatem

The second major town of Siderios is Verity. Based on the island of Crete, this city is hoping to grow its population, currently not having very much living space. Covering just over 8 chunks, Verity is very small but still manages to fit people there.

### Executive Leave

From the 12th to the 15th of January 2022, Siderios's leader Fourjex, went missing, and didn't log on for that time. This left the Vice Executive, BetaCayde, in charge. During this time, the nation of Siderios's population increased from four people to eight. But this wasn't all good. Two of those people were MrBradenH08 and YellowOrigin. You can read about them later in this article. Also during this time, Siderios was pulled into the ATS-Annuumi Liberation War.

###### MrBradenH08

About 2 weeks into Siderios's existence, a character known as MrBradenH08, or Bradenos, joined the server. He wanted to join Siderios, and was at first a kind and calm character. One day, for unknown reasons, he killed someone, and started destroying property. He was quickly banished from Siderios after the fight, leaving just his head, and around thirty diamonds. He has now moved the the Republic of Mountains.

###### FrogzOnFrogz

A friendly outgoing person named FrogzOnFrogz, or just Frogz, joined Siderios and was super helpful, even building a house on his first day there. But later on, he was near the Doragonrando Shogunate's temporary capitol of Bita, where he found an unclaimed ship and stole from it. This almost led to a war, but was stopped. He now lives peacefully in Siderios.

###### YellowOrigin

Similarly to MrBradenH08, YellowOrigin was a quiet character that even rose to a seat of power as the Secretary of Defense before leaving. During the time known as Executive Leave, YellowOrigin started pushing for expansion, and even suggested expanding to Africa and Greece. This pushed BetaCayde to remove him from his position, and when the Executive Leave ended, and Fourjex was back, he was banned. YellowOrigin later helped Terra Annuum in the war. He was later tricked into coming back to Siderios, only to be ambushed and killed. Now he is the President of the Republic of Mountains.

### Result

Decisive ATS victory* Terra Annuum significant loss of land

Part one

          It was a rainy day when the news arrived. Fourjex had been missing for about 4 days now, and BetaCayde was the leader until he returned to his work. Now, he received a message from a man named Leonardo Noir, a controversial character who was known for his sporadic and convulsive actions of violence. One day, when he was walking around his country, the Isles of Jumbila (also in the ATS), he saw two enemies of his nation around the border. He warned them to get away, but then they attacked. They robbed him on the spot, bringing him to the brink of death. When he awoke, he immediately declared war on their nation. It turns out that their nation was Terra Annuum, a strong nation based in Australia. The day of the first advance, the ATS army had chased down Terra Annuum to Khanaji City, in the south Mediterranean when they all suddenly disappeared. A magic map showed that they had teleported to their city in Madagascar, known as Draconia. Here are some accounts from the event.

          “Us guerrillas were stalking through the thick jungle until we came upon a cliff. It overlooked the town of Draconia, giving us the perfect advantage. We grabbed our bows and fired upon the town. Then a flanking force came from the side and eliminated all the targets there, including two of their main leaders.” -Frogz, a fighter from Siderios on the side of the ATS. Casualties from the ATS were zero, with Terra Annuum losing about four.

          The remaining forces of Terra Annuum fled to a territory in Australia, the name of which has been lost to time. A quote from BetaCayde shows what insanity went down there.

          “We in the back saw it all. [Terra] were like a cult, making sacrifices of heads to some fake god, and chanting around a fire (true story). Me and some others started firing upon them with bows from bushes, where they could not see us. Then, we followed in the rest of the forces, and we swept them easily. We only lost about two men, both of them going down fighting. Terra is reported to have lost about seven in that fight.” -BetaCayde describing the final fight with Terra Annuum.

Part two

          About a month before the Thirty Minute War, a problem had arisen. A person named YellowOrigin, or better known as just Yellow, joined Siderios and became the nation’s military advisor, being the only one that wanted the job. All was going well until Yellow decided to leave Siderios, claiming that “Siderios is too anti-expansionist. This will never lead to a good government and will lead to Siderios losing all it’s wars and never gaining land.” This was countered by the fact that when Siderios joined the ATS, they pledged to not claim any more land than they had too. Yellow then went off on his own, but claimed to be helping Terra Annuum, who at this point was an enemy. This led to Yellow being banned from Siderios and several other countries. Yellow tried to get back into Siderios under a fake name, Ryzens, to try and steal stuff. But he got caught and ambushed, barely managing to escape. He was then tried as a traitor during the war but was found innocent.

### Siderios Statehood Agreement

On March 26th, 2022, Siderios officially became a state of the RoM. The leader of Siderios at the time, BetaCayde, decided that there were not enough active citizens in Siderios to keep it going. The official document can be found here.

### The Novella

The Novella about the history of Siderios, known as The Chronicles of Acuity. It was written by BetaCayde as the server was slowly sliding towards the end of it's life. It was released a couple days after the server shut down, and was a great piece of history for Siderios.
