City-State of Kraghammer

The City-State of Kraghammer was the first stage of modern Kraghammer's history. It is not to be confused with the ancient City-State of Kraghammer, which existed in 1100s-1500s as the major military power in Hermanica.

This article also includes the transitional period of Kraghammer, known as the Dictatorship Period.

## Description

Kraghammer was a flourishing ancient city founded 800 years ago, being the center of military prowess in the ancient Crusader alliance of V'lagrah. It provided thousands of powerful troops, well trained knights, and was thought to be impenetrable and invincible. However, this was proven wrong 580 years ago when the barbaric tribes of Aardren conquered the declining city, which was a shadow of its former self. Since then, Kraghammer has been in possession of many other great nations, empires, and kingdoms, until Gensokyo's occupation began in 1900. For 50 years, Kraghammer's military prowess (showcased in soldiers originating from the city) was seen in wars Gensokyo fought, and eventually in 1950, Kraghammer became an independent city state after a large committee's agreement.

## City-State of Kraghammer

### Wosseau Administration

After Kraghammer was made independent, elections commenced a week later. Rudol von Wosseau became the new High Chancellor of Kraghammer. He made numerous radical decisions to reform Kraghammer to fit with the modern world. He also started the militarization of Kraghammer, with the conversion of the weak and obsolete Krag Defense Force into the formally known, Armed Forces of Kraghammer, consisting of the Krag Army at first, later the Krag Navy, and the Krag Air Force. During his governance, people experienced a quiet life under his wise administration filled with eloquent and intelligent diplomats, which eventually opened Kraghammer to new frontiers with foreign relations.

### Bridger Administration

After Rudol von Wosseau's term ended, elections commenced once more, and coming out victor was Ernest Bridger. His administration was short-lived, but could have been referred to the Golden Age of Kraghammer, as it was filled with much prosperity and improvement on every positive front. His short term ended with his assassination on August 20, 1953 during a parade. He stepped down from his carriage and immediately was shot in the forehead.

### Cena Administration

Elections commenced once more and John Cena came out victor. He radicalized the entire nation, enraging the conservative legislative house of representatives and senate, and former Chancellor Wosseau. His influence struck many and his charisma led to the spike in morale for a short while. He also started the great militarization of Kraghammer, with the massive buying and production of arms, weapons, vehicles, and mass recruitment of soldiers.

## Dictatorship of Kraghammer

### Dictator Cena

During this period, numerous concentration camps were created and Cena ordered for hundreds of thousands of Estorics, anthropomorphic population, and LGBT community members to be executed via firing squad. Numerous personalities belonging to this group were hanged at the gallows and left to rot for weeks. Finally, a revolution started, masterminded by future leader Walter Kruger. The dictatorship ended with blood, but with grace, Cena was brought out and guillotined in front of a populace screaming for justice, and thus marked the beginning of the Estoric period.
