The Lutherian Mountains and the Heilder Caves. Unlike most other nations in Evropea Nasbainea maintains its monarchy with a legitimate level of political power. The country itself has recently finished fighting its third civil war between the classical liberals and communist radicles in the 1950s. The current ruler of Nasbainea Imperator Dennis Gustavus de Fiore the young is the youngest ruler in Nasbainean history at the age of 18.

## History

On the far northwestern coast of Evrope in the 5th century BC, there was the establishment of the first tribe which could be described as Nasbainean. The tribe was called the Nassebian by archeologists however there is still dispute on this name. The tribe would exist and conquer other tribes in its region and by the third century, the first onset of a government could be seen with an institution called the Sheerlandhause which roughly translates to the meeting house from the old Nasbainean language. However, the third century BC would soon see the worst crisis in this early society. Archeologists still argue about what really happened, but the four dominant theories are a great plague, famine, ecological disaster, or all of the above.

This would change at the beginning of the first century AD a figure would be elected by the surrounding tribes as their "God King," or Cretos Meut meaning "Grand Leader," The kingdom would for most of its existence be regulated to its coastline because of a massive isolationist viewpoint held by the first dynasty till the onset of Christianity in the North which upset the balance of power. By the third century, the Kingdom would dissolve into civil war by the 5th century due to the rise of Christianity as a major religion. The church established itself at a staggeringly fast pace introducing many liberal ideas for the time period and would lead the rebellion in their effort to overthrow the God-King. The civil war would last until the 6th century taking almost a hundred years to resolve. This civil war was known as the Centurial Tragedy. In this civil war, the Christian forces would be led by an educated serf by the name of Helion Gustavus de Firoe against the then God King Vrico Galimani. The war would come to a culmination at the battle of Guffen Plains. In this battle, over 500,000 combatants on the rebel side would quickly take their positions. Rebel forces were well equipped and well trained far more so than that of the God King's forces of 550,000 combatants. Helion led his army personally into battle where he would come to blows with Vrico. The battle that followed from the two was best described by Nasbainean poet Godwin Herfil in the 17th century.

Helion's son would be the one to sit on the throne after the civil war where the Fiore dynasty still rules to the modern day. After the war, an official legislative body was created called the Census which was split into two chambers, and a proto-justice system was established. This system would last and thrive and exist till the 14th century when the second civil war would break out when the de Fiore dynasty had a crisis of succession. Eventually, the pretender forces would be defeated but it led to a significant social issue and made the people by and large question the authority of the throne.

From the 14th century to the 16th century the country was plagued by civil strife after civil strife, and it wasn't until Karl Gustavus de Fiore the Reformer that the 200 years of hardship would end with the establishment of the last governing branch. The Judicial Dictatorship. With the establishment of the judicial dictatorship the law's interpretation and the right of succession were delegated to this branch and under special conditions, they could depose the King and elect a new one out of the Fiore Dynasty. it wouldn't be until the 18th century that the country's final reform would happen. This law no mandate was called the God's Purpose Doctrine which created the first standing armies for conquest. This would allow Nasbainea to conquer its surrounding neighbors and finally by the 19th century establish the blood gold throne of the monarchy cementing themselves as an official empire. the late 19th century saw the first golden age of Nasbainean culture with unity, production, and military conquest being the front sight of the nation, but this was not to last as by the start of the 20th century the collapse of what was thought an invulnerable titan could be seen. The cracks were first seen at the start of the First World War when Nasbainea espoused public support for the nation Jyrnao and would engage in the war with the hopes of increasing its influence on the world stage as a true regional power that could contend with the other world powers. This conflict however would only lead to disaster for the crown as the Imperator Karl III would be deposed by the Judicial Dictatorship due to his ineffective leadership.

Leading to the third and most recent civil war during the second world war. The third civil war was not a dispute between the crown or between the branches of government instead it was between two different political ideologies. A staunch Classical Liberal philosophy and a Radical communist revolutionary plan. This civil war fractured homes and destroyed a good portion of the nation's historical sights and literature. Most of the farmland was laid waste to by carpet bombings and artillery shells. This war was carnage incarnate with the death toll being in the 10s of millions. With almost 22% of the male population dying in combat and another 10% from combat-related injuries/illnesses. The civil war would end in 1960 when the Classical Liberals waved their flag over the communist city of Adartem with the current Imperator Dennis Gustavus de Fiore raising the banner himself. Since then, the nation has been recovering from its bloody civil war even unto the 21st century it isn't uncommon to still see the scars of battle and the destruction that occurred during the war. Nasbainea has done what it can to bolster its domestic industries while still being able to front an army for national defense purposes. The current Imperator a young Dennis Gustavus de Fiore rules the nation the best he can be advised by his current advisors and what help he can get from other national leaders.
