Bluefield Empire

## **History**

### **Arrival of Asian Travelers**

Travelers (Merchants, Soldiers and more, expelled from Japan after a civil war, and has picked up many more people from China and Korea, lead by Kai), has made their way through Europe to arrive at Sweden. Being northerners in Japan, they were used to cold weathers, and therefore they found Stockholm very habitable and they settled. They later organized and renamed themselves to Mikami Guild.

### **Scarlithian Tribes**

Especially in Caucasus, many Scarlithians joined (more info about Scarlithians here some info may be outdated.) the Asian travelers going to Stockholm, and settled alongside them. They have made up almost the entirety of miner class, and is the backbone of the industry.

### **Local Swedish**

Local swedes, mostly farmers, have welcomed the two new factions into the country, as long as they do no harm. While hesitant at first, they started trading with the newcomers quite a lot before the Kingdom was Formed.

### **Kingdom of Bluefield**

After some time spent on the Swedish soil together, the heads of all 3 factions came together to create Kingdom of Bluefield. Kai from the Asian Merchants became the King, and Zee from Scarlithians became the Queen. While some disputes occured within the swedish ranks about giving their land to foreginers, it has been shut down by the high ranks of Swedish faction. The family of King Kai, Queen Zee and Sir Albert - brother of Kai - has been named House Scarlithia to honour the Scarlithian country back at Caucasus.

#### **Class Difference in Kingdom of Bluefield**

Due to its population being from 3 different races that have different occupations, there has been a class difference. While denying these differences - such as, working as a farmer while being scarlithian - is not that hard, it has been well known that over the years, all 3 classes have sticked to their main occupations.

*Scarlithians - Industry, Construction and Mining, also Military.*

*Asian Merchants, now renamed to Mikami Guild - Administration, Politics, Trade and Science*

*Local Swedish - Farming and Construction*

*Emperor of the North Sea Empire and King of Sverenia*

*Emperor Kai of Bluefield*

This treaty will go in effect on the 15th of November

#### **Official Declaration of the Empire**

Bluefield turned into an Empire officially with the transition of Guldhavn. Kai recieved his rank as the Emperor of Bluefield along with the King of Bluefield, the kingdom.

#### **Second Northern War**

11th of November, 2020, Bluefield Empire, with their allies, declare war on Pirate Republic and Norway. In a single day, and two decisive battles, Bluefield Empire wins both wars, and captures Gotland, completely ending Pirate Republic, along with Northern Norway. Rest of the Norway falls into hands of England. With this, Northern Norway and Gotland becomes a part of the Empire.

#### **The Trade Empire**

After the Second Northern War, Bluefield starts working on establishing itself as a trade empire, quickly improving relations with Carthage. They have made generous donations, mainly ships, to many countries in order to encourage them to trade in Stockholm, making it the biggest trade city at the time.

### **The collapse of the Empire**

The collapse of the Empire was suprisingly quick, and happened in a course of almost a week.

#### **Death of Emperor Kai the First and Empress Zee the First**

Kai, after a long time that he ruled the nation, from the creation of Stockholm when he was 14 to defeating Harald's forces in Danish Civil war when he was 72, finally passed away, in his bed due to multiple diseases mostly caused by his age.

Due to the prosperity of the nation and the advancement of technology he managed to live until 75, but was expectadely defeated to the time.

Hours later, Empress Zee was found dead too, preasumably from the pain from her husband's death.

#### **Short Reign of Emperor Albert the First**

After Kai died, since Fox was not old enough, Albert has been declared the Emperor, but Albert was in no shape or condition to rule a country, newly getting adapted to just leading a city.

He was crowned the Emperor the day after his older brother Kai died, but he only lived for a day as an Emperor, taking his own life as he could not handle the stress.

#### **The Chaos**

After losing two Emperors in such a short time, and having only a kid as a heir to the throne, threw the Empire into disarray. Scarlithian nationalists defended that Emperor Zee's relatives should continue the family tree, Swedish Nationalists defended that they should finally get a say on the nation, while the remaining bits of the Asian Merchants who currently held the power as the lower nobility, as a council gathered in a meeting to discuss what would happen next.

They have decided that the best way to keep the nation from crumbling apart was to crown Fox the Emperor, and then help him run the country until he gets old enough.

That plan immidiately backfired, once Swedish Socialist Nationalists named "Stockholm Revolutionaries" broke into the palace, brutally murdering every remaining Imperial Guard in the palace and young Fox. The Palace was later burnt down as the Revolutionaries believed it was the sign of the selfish monarchy.

A group of Imperial Guard was sent to disperse the Revolutionaries but it was all too late, the disollution of the empire has begun.

So as a last ditch effort, they tried to set up a city council for Stockholm that would lead the nation, but a will Emperor Kai the First wrote was revealed soon after, saying if things got bad, they shall split the empire into the following bits:

-Dutchy of Guldhavn will be given to Kingdom of Denmark.

-Rest of Sweden, will be made into a Swedish Kingdom.

-Remaining lands in Finland will be given to Baltic Empire

-The Treaty of Halltrop will be revoked and the Northern Norway will be handed back to Kingdom of Norway.

The Council had to agree to this, and the Empire was dissolved and its land given away.

May the Emperor Rest in Peace.

And for the last time,

Long Live Bluefield's Legacy...
