## History of Potenzia in LDU's roleplay

### Foundation of Potenzia and the birth of the Potenzian Royal House

Potenzia was founded in 1378 thanks to the establishment of pioneers in the northwestern region of Pontenzia. Before their arrival the region was divided between various feuding Celtiberian kingdoms and the rest of the Visigothic Empire. As such, the "potentian" story tends to begin with the recolonization of León.

In the early years Potenzia struggled to stabilize its dominion in the region, difficulty due to the continuous unrest with the neighboring kingdoms and the wild lions that killed people and livestock, to remedy this problem the nobles began to hunt lions making it a still active tradition known as "The Royal Lion Hunt". On 2 August 1395 "Thomas the Tamer" was internally acclaimed as the first King of Potenzia and reigned until his death in 1416, passing the throne to his son, King Thomas II, known as "Thomas the Taker" for his efforts to seize control of the various regions surrounding León.

### First colonial annexations and the establishment of the first diplomatic relations

At the end of the 18th century thanks to a marriage between the House of Medici of Tuscany and a member of the Potenzian Royal House, the Medici began to invest large sums of money in Potenzia. In exchange, the empire sent soldiers and military assistance to safeguard the independence of the new state of Tuscana, under the government of the Medici.

In the mid-20th century, Potenzia acquired the San Lancaster Islands through the marriage of King Tomás XIII and Queen Marcia.

### The colonization of New Leon

In the early 21st century Potenzia colonized New Leon with the intent of moving the excess mainland population to the colony and exploiting the settlers to make money through logging and mining. Years later, powerful Prime Minister Alan Bennett, the president of the United States of New America (USNA), and the governors of California and Nevada signed the Calivada Purchase Treaty, in which the USNA agreed to relinquish control of California and the Nevada to the Kingdom of Upgrade as part of The Viceroyalty of New Leon. In return, Potenzia agreed to pay USNA 4 trillion liberos and also agreed to the condition that the viceroy, or "governor," of New León be a native citizen of the former California-Nevada territories. Later after the fall of the Erimean government, towards the beginning of WWIII, Potenzia's troops were sent south of New Leon to Erimea in an attempt to maintain the peace and ensure economic stability. After witnessing chaos along the borders of Erimea and corruption within the government, the Potenzia Empire signed a royal decree to annex the territories of Erimea as a solution to border problems, trafficking and government corruption.

### The annexation of Larsai

In 2014, The Grand Duchy of Larsai entered into a political union with Potenzia, becoming part of the Potenzian Kingdom, when Grand Duke Keeth & Princess Carolina gave birth to Princess Kaia.

### The Rebellions in New Leon

In 2033, New Leon is hit by a great drought which leads to an equally great population discontent that led to rebellions throughout the colony, promptly put down in blood. On November 18, 2033, many Mexican states decide to declare their independence from Potenzia, starting the Mexican War of Independence which will lead to several bloody clashes for the conquest of the entire Mexicah. The war would eventually result in the Potenzian withdrawal of the Mexican territories.
