## History

### Origins

Following the Peace of Paris, concluding the Crimean War (1853-1856), the unification of Moldavia and Wallachia was expressly forbidden. However, due to a quirk in the procedure, Ioan Alexandru Cuza was elected Domnitor in both principalities, thus becoming first Prince of the United Principalities (1859-1866), to be followed onto the throne by the German prince Karl Eitel Friedrich von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen after a coup staged by the so called "Monstrous Coalition". After the 8th Russian-Turkish War 1877/78, which saw Romania fighting alongside Russia, the country's sovereignty was recognized on the Berlin Congress of 1878. Southern Bessarabia was ceded to Russia, while Romania gained Dobrogea.

In 1881 the Romanian Prince took the title of King Carol I. The orientation towards the West was secured, Russian influence lost its appeal. Under King Carol, Romania successfully participated in the Second Balkan War of 1913 and conquered Southern Dobruja from the Bulgarians. Carol was celebrated as a national hero, but he would die only one year later in 1914, aged 75. His son Ferdinand succeeded to the throne in a dire time for Europe; The Weltkrieg was raging, and many expected Ferdinand to join his German relatives on the side of the Central Powers. Therefore, many were surprised when he proclaimed the following during his inauguration before the Romanian Parliament: "I will reign as a good Romanian."

### World War I

Romania joined the allies an ally of Russia to help be the bridge of Victory for Russia and Serbia in hopes of getting Transylvania back from Austria-Hungary. Romania had gained victories but they were sadly won by mass casualties. After winning the territories Romania left the war and remained to be the bridge of victory for Russia and Serbia. Sadly Russia was overthrown by Communists who took over Russia in the Russian Civil War. Only the region of Historical Ingria survived Communist takeover as it was conquered by Germany with Poland, the Baltic States, Ukraine, Belarus and Finland. Germany then conquered Austria-Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria. Germany was going into Transylvania to force Austria-Hungary to gain the region. Romania fearing their victory would be in vain then charged to stop Germany, only for Germany to defeat them and annex Romania itself as a puppet state with Transylvania being a part of Romania. The Germans threw out Ferdinand and replaced him with his unpopular son Carol II who was ousted in favor of his brother and his brother's lover Prince Nicholas of Romania and his lover Princess Elisabeth of Greece and Denmark due Carol's scandalous marriage with a commoner named Zizi Lambrino. Carol II ascended the throne of Romania with Zizi becoming Queen of Romania and their son Carol Lambrino becoming Carol, Crown Prince of Romania. Carol had become an absolute monarch with Ion Antonescu ruling at his side as Reichkommissar.

### After World War I

Carol II and Reichkommissar Ion Antonescu appointed Corneliu Zelea Codreanu founder of the Iron Guard as Prime Minister with the approval of Germany making Romania into a Absolute Monarchy under a Reichkommissarat and a Totalitarian Theocratic Military Dictatorship making Romania an ultra-nationalist and ultra-conservative superpower.

## Government

The Government of Romania is an Absolute Monarchy ruled by a King under a Reichkommissarat run by a Reichkommissar and a Totalitarian Theocratic Military Dictatorship ruled by the leader of the Iron Guard which is the only legal party of Romania. The leader of the party is Prime Minister Codreanu himself, who is called the captain. Immediately beneath him is his inner circle, either in codified structures like the Legionary Senate or the Commitee of the Thousand, or in non-codified ones. Below the inner circle are the diverse "nest" leaders, the nest being the smallest Legionary partisan unit.. Teenagers and schoolchildren organize themselves within a similar organization, named the Cross Brotherhood *(Frăția de Cruce*), aimed at preparing these young minds for the rigor of later Legionary life.

Codreanu prizes discipline within his organization’s ranks, and members are expected to hold themselves to a certain standard. Sacrifice, faith, martyrdom, camaraderie, labor, heroism - core values of Codreanu’s way of thinking, which he hopes to propagate towards his adherents and later on towards most Romanians. An admirer of the old chivalric values, his ideal leadership distinguishes itself via spiritual cleanliness, capacity of work and creation, braveness, faith in God, love and an austere, spartan life. He keeps his movement in line not just via his own personal charisma and highly personalistic leadership style, but also via an intricate system of internal bureaucracies, commitees, decorations and titles, like the Green Cross, the White Cross, and, the highest title-decoration short of the Captain himself, the Commanders of the Annunciation.
