Globe map of MossW.

The Imperium Regis of **MossW** is a nation located on the Arion Peninsula in Enadia. It is home to roughly 1.4 billion Mosians, and is ruled by Augustus Aranaco, with it's capital at Mosia.

## Etymology

The name **MossW** is a combination of the name of the capital, **Mosia**, and the Middle Mosian *ow*, meaning land. The name **Mosia,** is an Enadized version of the former name of the capital, Mōsa, meaning "wetland", as the city was built on wetlands.

## History

### The Forefathers

In the 600s BC, the Enadii Trading Civilization was going strong. However, towards the end of the century, lots of neighbouring tribes would invade. However, the Enadii would crush them. Soon after, there was a new elder of the Enadii. By then, the Enadii had abandoned their mythology, but the elder had a new idea. They believed that the Sun and Moon were at war, and when the Sun was in control of Tarra, it was day, and when the Moon was in control of Tarra, it was night. Whenever he was critisized, he would always say it was obvious, you would just have to look at the sky. Eventually, they would force him out, and he became exiled in the Sedsun mountains, where he would father a son, Crochon, who was born in 509 BC. He had 2 sons, one named Crochon after his father, and the other named Marbiv. After a few years, he had enough of life in the mountains and travelled west. He soon found a lake, where his wife drowned. He would mourn her for the rest of his life. Still, he continued on, and he eventually got to the Swatiski Delta, where he encountered a tribe called the Northurii. He died there. His sons decided to head slightly south-west, still in the delta, where they finally settled.

### The Warring Tribes

The brothers eventually grew old, but a person from the Northurii named Srachen soon turned up. It turned out that shortly before his death, Crochon had an affair with a Northurii woman, and Srachen was their child. Crochon had also said that their son would also gain all his possesions. Crochon the Younger and Marbiv would die soon afterwards. Their descendants would grow into 3 tribes, the Tribe of Srachen, the Tribe of Crochon, and the Tribe of Marbiv. They would constantly be at war with each other. In the 180s BC, severe flooding would drive the tribes southward, where they settled near the entrance to the Arion Peninsula. The Srachenii would settle in the wetlands near the coastline, founding a city there named "Mōsa", meaning "wetlands" in Old Mosian.

### The Mosii Khanate

Eventually, the chief of the Srachenii, Brechan, and his brother, Brachen, would establish a Khanate. They were now called the Mosii, named after the city. One of the Khans, Mechron (the ruler was his wife Brecha, but he held the power), would found a city named Mechro, after himself. In 451, there would be a Khan named Nekhor II, known as the Magnificent, who was the richest man in history, owning 900 trillion Mosiis. However, the inheritance would break up with the death of his son, Brechan II, in 512. All of his sons except the eldest were alive, so it went to Brechan's eldest son's 3-year-old son, Mechron. Of course, no-one was very happy with this decision. So, his uncle Crochon held most of the power. When Mechron died young 11 years later with no heirs, Crochon had himself declared the Khan. However, his son Brechan had already gathered a lot of support, and dethroned Crochon and sent him out of the country. Now, Crochon is usually considered a usurper. However, Brechan turned out not to be a very good ruler, and in 532, his brother Cephas took the throne, sending him to be executed, which he escaped. He eventually returned to take back the throne 8 years later. He would then reign for 4 more years until his death in 544. His son, Mechron, was mentally ill for the first six years of his reign, with his first cousin-once-removed Marbiv acting as regent. After his death in 564, his son Nekhor III became Khan. However, Marbiv's grandson Cephas desperately wanted the throne for himself, and there would be a Civil War over the throne. Eventually, Nekhor's neice Mechron III came out victorious in 609, marrying Cephas' daughter Brecha to lock down his legitimacy. After that, there were 3 centuries of piece.

### The Province of Mesiw

In 900, there would be a new Khan named Nekhor V. In 925, an extra-Enadian horde named Geonan started their conquest into Enadia, under their chief Markopol. By the time they reached MossW, Markopol had died and was replaced by his son Aranac. He conquered the Mosii Khanate in 934, placing his son Leron Aranaco as governor of Mesiw, the Geonanian name for MossW. Nekhor fled to Enadia, becoming the Khan-In-Exile This paragraph is a short one, as the 8 centuries that followed were fairly uneventful. The only thing to note is that Mechro was renamed to Markopolis after Markopol.

### The Mosii Rebirth

In the 1730s, the Geonanians lost control over southern Enadia, and the Governor, Mechron Aranaco, established a Republic with himself as Chancellor. However, the Khan-in-Exile, Crochon, returned, and support for him surged. Later in the year, Mechron gave the power to Crochon, who re-established the Khanate in 1736. In 1738, he went on a campaign of Enadization, changing the name of Mōsa to Mosia, Markopolis to Marcople, and making the nation part of the Enadian Union. He also established public schools, modernized cities, and gave autonomy to religious and ethnic minorites.

### The New Millenium

In 2005, Brechan IX became the king. He wanted to make MossW more Mosian, while still maintaining Enadian influence. As part of this, he renamed Marcople back to Mechro, it's original name. He also allied with Illiricium. He had two twin sons named Crochon and Roichen. Sadly, he died in 2034 of a lung infection at 55.

### The Mosian Civil War

After Brechan's death, Crochon and Roichen started a civil war. Crochon managed to get Illiricium on their side, but Roichen didn't manage to get anyone. However, Bradhim suddenly invaded, with Roichen soon siding with them. Eventually, Crochon managed to get Iowa and Cadia on their side, and the war ended with the partition of Bradhim, and Crochon officially being made King.

### Rise of Fascism

Later that year, Illiricium suddenly betrayed MossW and attacked, along with Grand Northern Empire. In December 2035, the throne was given to an Illiricium puppet king, and a year later, the two nations also took territory. The betrayal led to the rise of the National Freedom Party, and it's leader, Cephas Aranaco, became prime minister in 2044. He proclaimed himself as Imperator (mosian for Governor) of MossW, and Rex (mosian for Shepherd) of the Mosians, creating the Imperium Regis. He then attacked Illiricium, and along with help from Vustana, defeated them. Soon after, he abolished all the facsist laws and became a Centrist. He tried to re-establish friendly relations with Illiricium, but a new facsist regime rose there, gathering up an alliance and declaring war. MossW also made an alliance, the Pact of Trondheim, with Grand Northern Empire and Cadia. However, an inferior nation known as Ancapstands attacked all of Enadia, and they all united against them. However, MossW and Grand Northern Empire attacked Illiricium while hardly any troops were in the nation, and defeated them.

### Recent Years

Soon after, the Illirican regime escaped to MossW and started it up again, however it was quickly liberated by almost all bordering nations. However, a terrorist blew up Cephas Aranaco's car soon after, sending the country into Anarchy. Eventually, the state was divided into two forces, the Imperial forces, ruled by Cephas Aranaco, and the Ordenstaat forces, led by the leader of the former Illirican regime, Dimitrej Lojtic. Cephas Aranaco soon won. However, existing tensions erupted into the Vustanosia war, with MossW siding with Vustana, and Illiricium siding with Vustanosia, a Vustanan breakaway state. However, the war quickly ended, with MossW and Illiricium pulling out of the war. A few years later, the Mosii-Niwaeño war occured, giving MossW an occupation zone in Niwae, eventually turning into the puppet state of West Niwae.
