## Background

The Kingdom of Bulgaria has a somewhat infamous title, the so-called 'Prussia of the Balkans', self-proclaimed but arguably earned through the years of war the Balkan state has seen. Forged from the aftermath of the fall of the EU, achieving independence from the turks and fighting then in the subsequent First Balkan War, Second Balkan War and the Third balkan War, this miniature Prussia had endured its fair share of conflict. The fortunes of Bulgaria had definitely turned for the worse after the Third Balkan War and the treaty of Edirne which definitely ran very deep in both the economic and political spheres. The treaty of Edrine resulted in a large amount of Bulgarian territory being lost to the Turks and the Tsar of Bulgaria was humiliated by this defeat and his prestige was damaged. The fortunes of Bulgaria seemed to be very dire for the time being but this is not the end for Bulgaria. The Treaty of Edrine marked the first and biggest defeat that the Tsardom of Bulgaria in the 21th Century, it had suffered as it was forced to give up a lot of territory to the Turks after losing the conflict between the two nations in the Balkans. The treaty was a very tough pill for the Bulgarian people to swallow but the people of Bulgaria still managed to recover from the defeat at the hands of the Turks and its reputation as a very powerful Balkan nation remains intact. The Tsardom of Bulgaria is currently recovered from the devastating defeat that it suffered during the Balkan-Turkish War and it is now in a very stable position politically and economically for the time being. But the future is still very uncertain for the country. If the Tsardom of Bulgaria can regain its strength they could dominate the entire Balkan peninsula in the future once again.

## Events

### Revolts

* The Serbian revolts failed horribly and it was a very big blow to the morale of the Serbian independence movement. The failed revolt did a lot of damage to Serbia's economy as it lost a lot of valuable territory in the struggle with Bulgaria. This will have a very negative effect on the future of Serbia.

* In September of 2022, another Serbian insurgency for independence broke out. The insurgents were led by a man named Dusan Markovic. He was a Serb nationalist who was determined to free his people from Bulgarian rule. The insurgency quickly gained momentum and large parts of Serbia were under insurgency control. The Bulgarian government was forced to send in troops to suppress the insurgency. The fighting was heavy, but eventually the Bulgarian government was able to put down the insurgency. Dusan Markovic was captured and executed by the Bulgarian government.

* In January of 2020, a revolt broke out in the former Romanian city of Constanta. The city was now part of Bulgaria and the people were unhappy with their situation. The revolt was quickly suppressed by the Bulgarian army, but it showed the discontent of the city's residents with Bulgarian rule. This revolt caused the Bulgarian government to increase its control of Constanta and to crack down on any dissident activity in the city.

* The Tsardom of Bulgaria was a powerful absolute monarchy in the Balkans that had gained significant territory in previous conflicts with neighboring states. However, this expansion came at a cost, as many of the newly acquired territories were home to ethnic minorities who did not want to be ruled by Bulgaria. In 2022, this discontent boiled over into two separate insurgencies in Serbia and Romania. The Serbian insurgency was led by a man named Dusan Markovic, a Serb nationalist who was determined to free his people from Bulgarian rule. The insurgency quickly gained momentum and large parts of Serbia were under insurgent control. The Bulgarian government was forced to send in troops to suppress the insurgency, and the fighting was heavy. Despite their best efforts, the Bulgarian government was unable to fully root out the insurgents, and the conflict dragged on for months. In January of 2023, a revolt broke out in the former Romanian city of Constanta, which had been annexed by Bulgaria after the collapse of the European Union. The people of Constanta were unhappy with Bulgarian rule and staged a mass uprising against the government. The Bulgarian army was sent in to suppress the revolt, but the fighting was fierce and lasted for several weeks. In the end, the Bulgarian government was able to put down the revolt and reassert control over the city. These revolts had a significant impact on the Tsardom of Bulgaria. The Serbian insurgency failed to achieve its goal of independence, but it caused significant damage to the Bulgarian economy and military. The insurgents were eventually defeated and their leader, Dusan Markovic, was captured and executed by the Bulgarian government.

* The Constanta revolt was similarly unsuccessful, but it showed the discontent of the city's residents with Bulgarian rule. The Bulgarian government responded by increasing its control over Constanta and cracking down on any dissident activity in the city. The revolts also led to increased tensions between Bulgaria and its neighbors, who saw the Tsardom as an aggressive and oppressive regime. Despite these setbacks, the Tsardom of Bulgaria remained a powerful state in the Balkans, with a large military and a strong economy. However, the revolts showed that the Tsardom's rule was not universally accepted, and that the discontent of minority populations could pose a significant challenge to its authority in the future.

### Assasination of Bulgarian communist party leader

* The leader of the Bulgarian Communist Party was assassinated by an loyalist of the Tsardom and the leader of the Communist Party was definitely an important figure in the Bulgarian Communist Party as he was the most influential person in the party.

### Sofia class Battleships

* The construction of the Sofia class battleships will take years as the construction of these battleships is very complex and it requires a lot of time and resources. So these battleships will not be finished for a very long time but they are a very ambitious project for the future of the Tsardom of Bulgaria.

### Submerged cities

* In April of 2016, the Bulgarian port city of Burgas was submerged underwater due to rising sea levels. The Bulgarian government was forced to evacuate the city and relocate its citizens to other parts of the country. This was a major setback for Bulgaria, as Burgas was an important port city and it was a symbol of Bulgarian power in the region. The loss of Burgas was a serious blow to Bulgaria's prestige and it's economy.

* In May of 2016, the cities of Varna, parts of Constanta and all of Cernavoda were flooded. The Bulgarian government was caught off guard by the rapid rise of the sea level and was not able to evacuate residents or protect the city's infrastructure from damage. This led to mass casualties and huge losses for the Bulgarian economy. The Bulgarian government has stated that it will do everything in its power to rebuild the flooded cities, but it will be a lengthy and expensive process.
