## Lore

### Creation

The Bar Republic was created by Eroth on 19.04.2023. It was immediately joined by zolene and Komarowaty, and was joined by Shale\_a soon after. The young nation was currently focusing on the construction of the Dworek (base of Eroth, zolene and Komar), but it also created a national tree farm and Sequoia shop. A slight disagreement with Shale, combined with a spontaneously appearing obsession of pirates caused Shale to leave and create Poseidon's Way. The Bar Republic's next member was GwnRicco, who was apparently sent as a spy by NemesisG1, but the nation was too young at the time for any useful information to be found, or even to exist. The next members of the nation include aShErAhX\_X and Clearly\_NotDef, and around this time GwnRicco either left or was banned, I honestly don't remember. The Bar was growing quickly, and not without opposition.

### The First of Two Soiwars

During his time in Season 3, Soione was inciting a war. He offered Eroth an alliance against Nemesis, he offered Nemesis an alliance against Eroth... Eventually, Eroth found out about Soi's offer to Nemesis and decided to reach out to Nem telling him about Soi's offer to him. Both sides found out that Soione was offering one an alliance against the other, so they decided to make an alliance against him. The combined force of Bar and Nemesis already doomed Soione, but as always his pride and ego was probably high enough to reach Pluto from Earth. When the war happened, Nemesis ended up not appearing, only the Bar's forces came - Eroth, zolene, Komar, and Def. Regardless, this was more than enough to slaughter Soione. He has wasted one life on his lore, lost another in this siege, and ended up surrendering. He was executed on 06.07.2023 in Adamantia.

### The Cold War

With Soione gone, the Antisoione Alliance had prepared for a second target. The rising force of Arctic's Frostwalker Legion had concerned many members, especially with his actions of "Amethyst baptization". It was also suspected that Arctic had also gone insane because of the Amethyst Crystal, and his goals or actions could be highly unstable. The stage for the server's Cold War had been set.

## Political System

I tried to find a political system fitting the Bar myself, with no success. I asked ChatGPT for help, with no success. The Bar Republic's political system is one not found or even theorized of in any real life country. It's a mix of democratic and oligarchic elements, along with including a Triumvirate which, although being the historical term for a three-person leadership, was not in real life combined with a democratic system. The nation is split into three roles - the Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Highest General. all three having separate elections, although all three are held at the same time. One person may hold more than one role, and they all have to follow the Constitution which gives them specific tasks and places of individual control, also requiring them to meet and discuss any changes which do not fall into their individual spheres of control.

If you're for some reason curious, here's the ChatGPT answer:

*The political system you described, where a democratically elected group of three people holds complete control over the nation with a constitution, doesn't neatly fit into any existing category. However, it shares some similarities with elements of different political systems. Here are a few categories that partially describe aspects of this system:*

1. *Triumvirate Democracy: The use of three individuals in leadership roles is reminiscent of a triumvirate, a historical concept where three people share power. In your system, these individuals are elected democratically, which adds a democratic element.*
2. *Presidential System: If each of the three individuals has distinct and separate roles with defined powers, it's somewhat akin to a presidential system where there's a division of powers among executive roles. However, a typical presidential system involves a president and other branches of government.*
3. *Constitutional Democracy: The presence of a constitution and democratic elections indicates that this system has elements of a constitutional democracy. However, the specific arrangement of a three-person leadership group is not standard in such systems.*
4. *Tripartite System: This term refers to a system with three separate branches of government (e.g., executive, legislative, and judicial). While your system has three individuals with distinct roles, it's not exactly a tripartite system as traditionally understood.*
5. *Oligarchy: In a broad sense, an oligarchy is a system where a small group holds power. Your system might be seen as an oligarchy if the three individuals wield significant control over the nation. However, the democratic election component distinguishes it from classic oligarchies.*
6. *Hybrid System: It's possible to describe your system as a hybrid because it combines elements of various political systems, including democracy, division of powers, and a unique three-person leadership structure.*

*Ultimately, there isn't an existing term that perfectly encapsulates the described system. It's a unique blend of democratic and oligarchic features with a distinctive three-person leadership arrangement.*

## National Symbols

### Flag

The Bar Republic's flag is a vertical bicolor with white at the top and red at the bottom, along with a yellow + shape down the middle and on the dead center a purple circle. The white and red represent the Polish roots and population of the Bar Republic, as it was created by Eroth (who is from Poland) and currently half of the Bar members are from Poland, and during the nation's peak of 8 members that number was even higher with 6 of them being Polish. The yellow cross down the middle is meant to represent the Bar Confederation Cross, and the circle in the center partially represents the Virgin Mary in the circle of the original Bar Confederation Cross, but is mostly meant to represent Eroth himself and his control over Mycelium (don't take this the wrong way, this in no way means I am comparing myself to the Virgin Mary).

### Anthem

The Bar Republic's national anthem is the Song of the Bar Confederates, with christian-referencing parts being replaced by their Columnist counterparts.

### Other Symbols

Another Polish song of similar theme, March of the Bar Confederates, is also recognized as a Bar soldiers' song. Additionally, the old Flag of Naxtonia is recognized as the Banner of Naxtonian Regiments, a proposed group and real recruitment program attempting to reunite old defenders of Naxtonia during the Cat Island War or Naxtonian revolutionaries from the War for Naxtonia. The program ended in a failure failing to recruit any new members, but the Banner of Naxtonian Regiments is still recognized as some old members of Naxtonia (Eroth, zolene, Komarowaty, Clearly\_NotDef) were already members of Naxtonia at the time of the recruitment program.
