## Description

Template:Nation-Simple**Marovia** is a monarchy in the first Vanilla world of Globecraft.

*The Kingdom of Marovia* sits on the continent of **Vetsi,** being in the far north of it. The country. It is bordered by Lavansaari to the east, The Collana Crisis Committee to the South and to the North, The Northwest Trading Organisation. It has neutral/good relations with all it's neighbours.

The Nation is split up into 2 regions, **Lokriya** which is on the Mainland of Vetsi, and **Maro** Island which sits on the border of the World. Both regions have cities, with the capital of the country being on Maro Island. The Lokryian capital is the old city of Merdelide, which sits between a mountain ridge. The city was the **Maro-Lokriyan** capital before it's dissolvation.

Geographically, the nation is **diverse**. It is comprised of the Maro Savannas, the Lokryian fields, forests and mountains, aswell as swamps and plenty of rivers.

Religiously**, Estuatarianism** is the primary religion, after Cor234 had spread the religion to Maro after being converted. A copy of the ancient scripture still sits in the Marovian capital.

Recently, a new religion has spread amongst the soldiers and mercenaries of the Marovian Kingdom relating to a Death Cult. Information is little about it, however it does not seem to be too big.

## History

### **The Founding of Maro and Maro-Lokriya**

   Marovia (named Maro at the time) was first formed on 15/07/2022. The land itself was uninhabited, till mercenaries decided to settle on the land and form a nation. They accepted a few contracts, fighting in the **Potato War** alongside Lokriya (at the time named Corland)

The 2 nations had very friendly relations, Lokryia giving them many items and lots of supplies to fight in the Potato War. On 17/07/2022 (d/m/y), the 2 nations of **Maro and Lokryia formally merge**, with **Cor234** and **Noctilucent\_David** signing a treaty and becoming Co-kings. At the time of the merge, having 6 members. The Nation was also into the ***C.A.R.T Alliance*** which comprised of Norune, Maro-Lokriya and Lavansaari.

### **The Koworean Intervention**

On the 20th of July, 2022, Toan, a leader of Norune formally declares a defensive war on Koworea, after some of their members steal from the alliance members, including Maro-Lokriya, who have killed Koworea before for the very reason.

Maro-Lokriya is brought into the war due to the Alliance and also declares war on **Koworea.** The Coalition has an initial success, taking many of Koworea's lives. Maro-Lokriya fights them multiple times, winning almost every single time and raids the capital of Koworea alongside Velvas and the **other non-C.A.R.T coalition** members.

However, the success does not last long, as the Koworeans learn guerrilla warfare (or gorilla warfare as Bancat said). The coalition suffers losses and many non C.A.R.T members lose up to 10+ lives. The Maro-Lokriyan army gets tired of the guerrilla warfare and **Cor234 surrenders on 22/07/2022**.

The surrender is controversial however, as many people including the leaders of Koworea agree that the coalition should have also surrendered and lost territory after Maro-Lokriya had surrendered. The members of Maro-Lokriya do not log on to the server for 2 weeks, and neither do the Koworeans, which made them lose their newly obtained territory from the previous war due to inactivity.

### **The Revival of Marovia**

On the 6th of August 2022, the senate member Noctilucent\_David formally declares The Kingdom of Marovia ( a new name ) , with a population of 4 at the time. The Lokriyan members do not initally join however, most excitement disappearing after the surrender.

The members of Marovia rebuild the **wartorn nation**, finishing the Great Walls started before the surrender and also patching up most holes from **REDACTED** damage. They quickly gather new resources and start new projects in the country. They establish a new discord, and start formal diplomatic relations with other countries.

### **The Milk Wars**

Quite a while after the revival of Marovia, the nation had become one of the biggest nations in the server. It is still a military **powerhouse** featuring some of the server's best PVPers like Suspense.

When Milk had declared war on Hellas, Marovia offered to join Milk in exchange for an island close to Marovia and an alliance with Milk. High King Sleepyhollow8 accepted the offer and fought Hellas and it's many mercenaries, almost winning the war. The war of course ended in a white peace, however Marovia still obtained it's promised lands.

On the 3rd of September 2022, Milk declares war on the Socialist Republic of Korellia sparking one of the most brutal wars in the Vanilla server's history.

Many **mercenaries** from Marovia, soldiers from Milk, and the legendary mercenary Mmew had joined Milk to fight against SROK. Some of Marovia's soldiers include: Senator Erenom, Praetorian Noctilucent David, High King Sleepyhollow, Senator Cor234, aswell as the main combatant of the war, the feared USBSteeringWheel [suspense].

Marovia had obtained victories against SROK mercenaries before in the Hellas war, winning a 2v2 battle on the **Peak of Merdelide** in an improvised fort. Marovian volunteers aswell as Mmew and Milk storm the Korellian capital, making one of SROK's members, presumably a Hydrated Priest burn the entire city down. The war would go well for Milk, losing 0 lives whilst Korellia losing 12-13.

The war **ended** however in a 30-18, the owner Jae cancelling the war due to Milk being considered a war nation. The Korellian capital has been rolledback and is now the same way it was before the war.

Songs of the war will keep on being remembered.

### **The Marovian Renaissance**

The Marovian Renaissance started shortly after the SROK war ended, on 4/9/2022. Maro's **walls** were officially completed and work started on the Port of Maro.

The Marovian **renaissance** is a time of peace, relaxing and scheming.. People from Marovia started believing in a Death Cult, especially the Praetorian Guard. The High King denounced their actions, and insisted believing in Estuatarianism. Some of the nation's members, especially pvp oriented players were less active, but progress on the nation still continued.

The nation also merged with Vellonia, increasing it's size even more from when it was announced. The High King bought lands from Collana aswell, making one of the biggest nations in the server with about 430k pixels. All of the merges and purchases were before the SROK war. On the 10th of September the nation was renamed to the Empire of Marovia.

By the end of the Renaissance period, Marovia was inactive and most of the members did not log on. The nation was even downsized to only a few islands and the capital. That is however, until someone in Saor-Alba provoked them.

### **The Marovian-Alban War**

On the 22nd of September, 2022, Velvas [Saor Alba] declared war on Marovia, after an ultimatum which many considered very unfair was denied.

Most of the Alban people did not want to participate in the war, nor want the war to start. Other countries such as Norune close to Marovia did not want the war to start either. Most of the people who did want the war were in the Collana region of Saor Alba. The reason for war is unknown, however. A member of the Collana region M1k admitted to starting the war due to finding Marovia "annoying" and wanting an island which was bought by Marovia for 6 diamond blocks many weeks before the conflict.

The war itself started of with 9 Lives on the side of Marovia and 23 on the side of Saor-Alba. The war went horribly for the Saor-Albans, the war ending with more lives for the Marovians than they started with. Warriors such as USBSteeringWheel previously thought gone and legendary mercenaries such as Mmew defended Marovia fiercely. Marovia was not quite ready for war however, yet it's Praetorian Guard managed to kill Saor-Alba many times.

Marovia was attacked multiple times in their own houses but always pushed back. Velvas griefed Marovia and another member named Birdbath griefed a neighbouring city, Merdelide and both got banned. Velvas was also caught duping and his mod was permanently removed, and banned for 3 weeks.

When the war was 11 for Marovia and 2 for Saor-Alba, Emperor Sleepyhollow asked Swifty\_Y from Alba to get executed 2 times to end the war faster. Swifty thought that by getting killed by Marovia, he would get Saor-Alba back to what it used to be. That however, was not true and at the end of the war, Saor Alba was split into 5 Independent, but vassal duchies of Marovia. No land was damaged in Saor-Alba and the Marovians were merciful. The war ended in a 11-0.

Many debate if Swifty was indeed a traitor or not. According to Marovian members, Marovia only told him that he would end the war quicker, whilst Saor-Alban members encouraged him to get executed. Marovian scribes argue he was tricked by Velvas into ending the war so Velvas would instantly declare independence, something he tried doing but failed and was denied by admins of the server.

Saor Alba was humiliated and at the time, most of the server acknowleged their defeat. The peace treaty sent by The Emperor and drawn by scribe NoctilucentDavid involved Saor-Alba being split into 5 independent duchies, led by a member of Saor-Alba. Those nations were vassals of Marovia and did not have to pay anything to Marovia.

This was one of the biggest and most bloody wars of the server. There were many mercenaries from both sides, such as Boomie for Alba and Mmew for Marovia. This war proved Marovia's military might, and proved Saor Albans [who believed Marovia was not good at pvp] wrong. At the end of the war, Marovia also had claimed it's previously lost lands

### **The Age of Peace**

After the Alban wars Marovia fell into a era of peace. The recovery after the war for Marovia came slowly, but did eventually culminate with two breweries opening. The Marovian arms company also opened, but saw limited use due to security concerns. Few members were on and only came on to protect the claim over Old Alba. Marovia was still intact and held Alba and Maro island, along with Southern Collana isle and a bit of Lokriya by the end of Vanilla World.

## Structure

The Country is not only led by a Great King, who is currently Sleepyhollow88, it is also led by multiple **Senate** members. These members as of 21/9/2022 are: USBSteeringWheel, Noctilucent\_David, Laratical-Su and Erenomm aswell as AFlyingTrex.

    The Country's elite king's guards are named the **Praetorian guards** led by Noctilucent\_David. The Country also has a lead engineer, who is responsible for many of the country's building named USBSteeringWheel. The lead diplomat is Lord\_Napoli.
The country has a senate room which is used for senate meetings aswell was peace treaties and festivals.

    The country's flag is a **black sun**, on a red background with ash at the bottom.

### Build Projects

The nation has one of the largest creeper farms built by Lokriya's engineers Trex and Maro's Engineers Erenomm and Sleepyhollow, aswell as the largest Shulker farm in the whole server built by Lokriya (cor and trex) . Marovia also has 2 large villager hub's, an iron farm, many large melon and carrot farms, villages and other more private buildings.

Cor234 along with Trex have built most of Marovia's biggest city Merdelide, which features a senate house, a metro station connected to Maro's and many other buildings such as complicated farms. That city however declared independence from Marovia with Sleepyhollow's approval. Marovians still have access to the city and good relations, however.

Marovia is very focused on technological advancements, and accepts engineers and builders, aswell as PVP-inclined players.
