The **Grand Duchy of Luxembourg** is a nation in Season 3 of Oilycraft. It is notable for having rapidly developed on its first day, founding the towns of Luxembourg, Liège, and Strasbourg, and establishing friendly ties with its neighbours the Occitanian Combine and Scorn. It is ruled by Grand Duke Cubez.

## History

### Origin

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was founded by an siberian tribe called «Arkadians» located in Tuva region. After a long journey, the tribe decided to establish itself next to the Moselle river.

### First steps of the newborn duchy

Inspired by the european gouvernements, Cubez (the tribal leader) decided to create grand duchy and to name itself grand duke and to start building his nation. He named his servant EnzoLB count of the city.

### First buildings

The city started to build itself by the creation of two houses next to the river and the creation some plantation of wheat, carrots and potatoes. The grand duke ordered the construction of the castle « Lucilinburhuc » that will be named by the foreign diplomats «Luxembourg» that will become the name of the newborn duchy. Finally, due to the mobs raids inside the city, a wall was constructed to counter the attacks.

### The duchy enters into the diplomatic world

Only a couple hours after the creation of the duchy, an occitanian diplomat offered a delegation to the duchy and established the settlement of a diplomatic link beetween the two nations. The explorators reported the existence of two nations at the east, Waterfall Paradise and Artificial Guild. Some hours after, a warrior from the Frisian-Danskian Empire accidentally killed a citizen of the Grand Duchy causing an heightened alertness from the luxembourgians. Finally, Scorn delivered a huge delegation from their country with netherite and lots of other trade goods. Due to this help, the Luxembourg started establishing huge diplomatic ties with the scornites.

### The enlargement of the Grand Duchy

Due to the surpopulation in the capital, settlers from Luxembourg started settling around the area by founding Strasbourg (which was soon annexed by the city of Luxembourg), Liège and some years after Troyes and Hanover. The fast expansion of the Duchy caused border disputes with Friso-Dansk Empire (which was solved by a ceasing of some lands by Ljouwert), with Ireland-Armorica (for the control of the Seine and Marne rivers) and with Francfort (about its place in the middle of the Grand Duchy). In some years, the Duchy claimed East France, Southern Benelux and almost all of Germany.

### A rapid industrial development

The Grand Duchy invested immediately in the development of a powerful army. After some years of exploitation of orphans in the mines and a usage of slaves in the fields, Luxembourg advanced in its industrial era and crafted its first machines. Soon after, the exploitation of villagers from Namur permitted the country to craft the best stuffs in the game and becoming a great power.

### Luxembourg, the country of architecture

Seeing the astonishing development of the newborn duchy, an architect named chocozore joined the duchy. He settled in Liege with his architect friend faryelle and started building the country. He started by building a wall all around the country with fortifications to counter foreigners attacks. After that, he started the building of Mont Saint Michel, a masterpiece of strategic defense.

### Francfort negotiation

The grand duchy wanted to push east but Francfort, a city of the Artifier's Guild, was on their way. After negotiations beetween the two leaders, Luxembourg understood the importance of the city and negotiated a vassalisation of Franfort. Due to this new territory, Luxembourg can now easily expand in Germany.

### The putsch of April 22th 1098

During the first years of the newborn duchy, Earl EnzoLB gained a lot of popularity over the population and the duke had difficulties to manage to rule its great nation. On morning of April 22th May 105, EnzoLB gathered an army of 6 warriors with netherite armor and forced the duke to abdicate from the power and to become a useless duke. The putsch worked perfectly and now earl EnzoLB had full power over the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

### Reformation of the army and first military campaign

Now that EnzoLB was fully in control of Luxembourg, he created a militarised state and he obligated every member of the country to have a full stuff in case if war. After the declaration of war from Scorn to Dacia, Luxembourg instantly supported Scorn in the war because of their help in the development of Luxembourg.

### Participation in the Second Dacian-Scornite War

Luxembourg started by positioning its troops in Visiko's fort. Then the army, controled by EnzoLB, started sieging down Potatoist City and killed Chris, the defender of the city. After the siege, the army joined the main fight on the east, in this battle, Luxembourg killed around 10 full geared ennemies without getting killed a single time. Blux, the great knight of Troyes, defended the city of Luxembourg by himself. After the victory of Scorn and their allies, Luxembourg gained Libya and ordered to build a statue of their duke in Dacia.

### Start of Luxembourg-Liege rivality

Luxembourg always has been the center of everything in the Grand Duchy since the start but after the arrival of some experimented architects in Liege, the city started growing at an amazing rate, many citizens migrated from Luxembourg to Liege and Liege quickly bacame the capital of architecture.

### Luxembourg inheritance crisis

Duke cubez died after a reign of 33 years without any heir. EnzoLB instantly tried to take over the throne but Liege wanted to gain power and nobody in the country wanted an absolute monarch. To avoid any problem, chocozore (an architecht from Liege) was crowned grand duke of Luxembourg.

### The Calaisis compromise

The war breakout beetween Tavastia and Friso-Dansk interested Luxembourg that wanted to have an access to sea. Bapo, the leader of the Friso-Dansk Empire, didn't wanted to be attacked by the Luxembourg and Tavastia at the same time so they tried to negotiate with Luxembourg, at the start, Bapo proposed a little coastline leading to the English channel in Upper Normandy, EnzoLB refused and proposed to make a border on the Rhine river. Each sides didn't aggred on on a compromise and the discusion fliped into a multitude of insults towards Luxembourg from Frisia and their allies. Finally, due to the help from Summerium, the two sides agreed on a new border beetween the two propositions.

### Final expansion and new building projects

The grand duchy started expanding towards Poland and the rest of german unclaimed areas and founded Berlin. A new gigantic project in Germany was created : the HRE project, this project consists of a large amount of cities linked with roads. There will also be protected forests and fields.

## Religion

Luxembourg isn’t a religious state but they kept their tribe lore and consequently the arkaism religion that consist in the sharing of the ressources and the cult of the ancestors. Nowadays. the religion isn’t practiced a lot and the church isn’t really frequented. Some people appear to doubt about the utility of this religion and abandon it. There are three churchs in the country, one in Liege where you can pray any gods and two in construction in Luxembourg and Mont Saint Michel where you can pray the arkaism gods.
