*"Pro Populo, Pro Imperii"- For the People, For the Empire*

The **United Imperial Confederation of Avalon** was a state that was created following Emperor Llywelyn's reforms after the Imperial Civil War. The state was created as a way to remove Kordowyn as the leading state of the Empire, and to grant all states within the Empire equal status under her government. The final monarch was Empress Charlotte. The Confederation was disbanded in October of 267 by decree of Empress Charlotte after almost a year of failing to form a government and after the previous Confederate government failed repeatedly to uphold one of its primary duties in protecting its members from foreign invasion in regards to the Second Great War.

The name 'Avalon' comes from an ancient Adonian name for the main landmass in the New World.

Cornis, Crown Prince of Hybretia

Daelin, Prince of Taris

## Titles

**Cornis, Prince Imperial**, Prince of Taris and Archduke of Gorathica, also known informally as the Emperor who never was, was the Crown Prince of the Imperial Union until his sudden death in 311KOR during the Siege of Dalovsk.

A highly literate liberal, Cornis was a vocal supporter of the Union Social Alliance during the Tense 90s. His support proved vital to continued success in the 296 and 298 elections, however the Alliance collapsed over disagreements between the Social Democrats and Liberals, resulting in the Royalist Union Party resurging in the 300 elections.

The Crown Prince was very active in the 300s, conducting diplomacy with the United Federal Commonwealth and Second Kygonese Empire. He actively fought against Union intervention in the Great Northern War. He also was in vocal support of continued efforts to dismantle the military and increase freedom for the Hybroikoi.

When war broke out with the Templari'i Republic and the enemy invaded Kolangrad on 25th May 311, Cornis took control of the 84th Battalion in the Defense of Dalovsk, leading the charge into Battle on 2nd June. International pressure began to mount against the war, as the Kordynians, Garmanese, Gretians, Kygonese, and Novacians tried to force peace. The Hybretians attempted one last major offensive to try and win the war and acheive their anti-Templari'i goals as opposed to agreeing to an armistice. On June 27th the Hybretian army tried a massive push against the Templari'i line, initially creating a bulge in the line, before being routed when a Templari'i Unit managed to get artillery operational. The Crown Prince was killed by artillery fire, causing the Hybretians to flee the field.

## Legacy

The Crown Prince's death lead to the Hybretian agreement in the Treaty of Trier, a humiliating diplomatic loss to the Templari'i. Containment was abandoned as an Anti-Templari'i policy, and the ruling Social Democrats began to suffer electoral losses. Hybretian losses to the Nichibotsu in the concurrent Nichibotsu-Kolanski Colonial War lead to their ultimate defeat and the political weakness of the Empress.

A distraught Empress Lenara sat out the Third Great War, and she was increasingly opposed by Cornis's ultra conservative son Basilean. In 318 Basilean had his grandmother ousted, and became Emperor Basilean IV & II.

Neo-Kygonese Empire

The **6th Imperial Parliament** opened on the 1st of June, 253, and is scheduled to end on December 31st 254, unless otherwise prorogued or dissolved.

The Conservatives regained their position as largest party after having lost that starus in the 5th Imperial Parliament. Ceredig Mostyn returned as Prime Minister, forming a Minority Government with the Royalist Union Party, Novacian Traditionalist Party, and the Riogaithe. The Liberal Reformers returned to the Opposition under Heddwyn Tudor.

Two states joined the Parliament, the Kingdom of Várrény, and the Neo-Kygonese Empire. The Parliament began almost seven months late due to problems left over from the Imperial Civil War, elections could not be held in Northern Kordynian Counties, Novac, Hybretia, or parts of Kygon until early spring. The admission of Várrény brought enough new seats to the Conservatives to push them back into majority.

The Reforms of Llywelyn I including the Decree forming the Empire of Avalon fundamentally altered the role of the Parliament, which now serves as the legislature for the whole Avalonian Empire, instead of Kordowyn preeminent over the Subject States.

During the first few months of the Parliament, the Novacian Plague broke out, leading to international quarantines and isolation, delaying the arrival of numerous MPs, preventing Parliament from fully assembling until October.

HB-006-0001 was immediately introduced to extend the length of Parliaments to four years instead of two. The bill went into effect for the 7th Imperial Parliament.

Additionally, HB-006-318 gave the Novacian Railway Company permission to construct a railroad to the eastern countries, despite some concerns over monopolization and extortion. A similar HB-006-382 gave the Hybretian Royal Telegraph Company permission and funds to construct lines to all major capitals.

She was confirmed by the Koinovoúlio and was invited to form a government by Emperor Basilean. She has served in the position for almost a decade before her party lost over the Hybretian Great Depression.

Before taking on the role of Chancellor, Mardakadies served as the Próedros of the University of New Hybris from 258KOR to 260KOR. Her appoitnment came as a shock; she belongs to the 3rd Order, and is therefore not Hybroikoi. She had served as the Ambassador to Garman for a period between 256 and 258.

After assuming office, the Kankeláriosspent a large amount of time running around trying to fix issues arisen from the Succession Crisis.

In August 262, she was fired by Basilean for a security breach that lead to a failed Novacian attempt to assassinate the Emperor.

Mardakides fled the country after it was alleged she leaked battleplans to the Novacians, and was made Chancellor of Lenara II's government. As the Royalist Union Party held control of the Koinovoulio until the 268 election, she continued to control the government.

After studying at university, George went into the city's civil services, where he often saw the mistreatment of the downtrodden of the city, and due to the small and weak nature of the civil service often felt he couldn't do enough to assist them. George entered politics in 245 when Emperor Llywelyn created the Kordynian Parliament, where he helped form the Social Democratic Party.

George's policies for the Empire revolved around putting the people first, and in his time as Prime Minister he passed sweeping reform in regards to worker's rights. Upon becoming Prime Minister, George adopted a foreign policy of 'splendid isolationism', a concept of relying on only temporary alliances when necessary, and in the meantime focusing on building and reforming the Empire of Kordowyn.

In 262, the Social Democrats won a majority and a landslide in the Kordynian Parliament, largely due to the Prime Minister's popularity with the people.

In 267, the Prime Minister oversaw negotiations leading to the Union of Dunlieth, creating the Imperial Commonwealth.

The Prime Minister was found dead in his office on May 10th, 268, appearing to have died of a stroke in the late hours of the night the night before.

During the Third Pandrosi War and the Intervention in the Old World it came to light that the Earl had spent gross amounts of time and Imperial funds in brothels with prositutes and on alcohol instead of performing a single diplomatic act, to the point he was not even aware of the Disaster of '92 until over a year later.

In 252 he was implicated in supporting the Junta by knowingly providing false information to the Kordynians, though he may have been misinformed himself. He was replaced by Ambassador Charles Durant.
Inaria

Ventara

**Inaria,** officially **The Socialist Republic of Inaria & Ambrus**, formerly the Queendom of Inaria & Ambrus,is a country located on the east coast of the Kygonese Expanse. Formerly comprising two Districts of the Empire of Kygon. During the Kygonese Anarchy, Inaria and Haven formed their own republics in an effort to combat the rogue generals raiding the expanse. In 218, a treaty was signed providing arms and supplies for these republics as long as they pledge fealty to the Kordynian Empire.

About 80% of the Inarian population is made up of the ethnic group of the same name, and 10% Kygonese, with the other 10% made up of immigrants from various other countries. The period of the Late Anarchy and the expansion of the Republic of Kygon saw a large amount of emigration by the Kygonese in Inaria. In 227, Naria Valeriya, a popular Inarian leader, was declared Queen and announced her intention to create an independent Inarian ethnic state, which received backing from the Kingdom of Naomh-Dubhe. This angered the Havenites under Chancellor Frank Mair who sought to completely reunify the Kygonese Empire. In the end, the war was ended when Kordowyn intervened, desperate for a stable Expanse so they could launch The Second Invasion of Kolangrad. In it, the state was recognized so long as it respected the Republic of Haven as the new Kygonese state, and Haven, as it's capital.

Apart from sheltering Queen Saoirse ó Mhuirneacháin during the Garmanese Civil War, Inaria had largely nothing to do with the outside world with nearly all interaction boiling down to fishing exports. Queen Naria I died in December 256, and was succeeded by her daughter, Naria II. Naria married Emperor Daniel I of Kygon, and plans for an eventual personal union between their child were made, but she died in childbirth in February 248. After her death, her second cousin Inar was declared King, and declared a Socalist Republic.

Avalon acquires its name from the Adonian word for the land. The vast continent was known to the Imperian Empire as *perfida terra* or treacherous land, owing to the difficulty in getting to it. Due to better resources known to exist in Galatia and East Arassia, the continent was ignored by ancient states.

## Upper House Composition

The **268 Commonwealth General Election** was held on December 1st, 268, and was the first general election held for the National Parliament of the Imperial Commonwealth after the Commonwealth's formation the year prior.

The election was a landslide victory for the Conservative Party, which at the beginning of the election cycle would have been a surprise; however, with the prospect of war with the Gretian-Tyretian Empire, the death of former Kordynian Prime Minister Arthur George, failings by former Kordynian Prime Minister Elwyn Pryde, and several other factors, the Conservative Party was able to secure a major victory. Henry Samson, leader of the Conservative Party and son of former Kordynian Prime Minister Teilo Samson, was chosen as the Commonwealth's first Prime Minister following this election.

The House of Nobles, the legislative upper house of the Commonwealth, also saw changes following the election.

On the 5th March, 242, the Kolanski vessel KRV Galesk was attacked by a captured Varisian ship, the *Symone*, off the coast of Endiolaudika on a supply mission to the Republic of Novac. The battle ended poorly for the Kolanski, who lost the ship to pirates and were forced to destroy the ship's cargo. Of the crew of 50, only 10 were able to escape, arriving home hours later.

### Aftermath

Emboldened by the capture, the Pirates mustered a raid on New Hybris, setting the home fleet on fire and attacking the north end of the city before the population was able to properly muster. This took place during the final day of the Generals' Council meeting to address the Fire of New Hybris, and enflamed further tensions.

Kolangrad's trade guild ceased all foreign trade over the attack, and Gregor Halsza VI increased taxes throughout Kolangrad to raise a new navy to combat the rising threat of piracy. King Daelin I acted similarly, and declared the Inter-Coastal War against pirates and all menaces to the seas.

The **Battle of Haven,** The Ides of December Massacre, The Kygonese Clusterfec, the Western Disaster, Freicrich's Folly, or the Devestation was an unmitigated Naval Disaster that occurred on December 14th, 242. Despite an early promise of driving the Gretian fleet off, the Kygonese Armada made a tactical blunder which resulted in them being encircled by the 26 vessels in the First Attack Squadron, and the 29 reinforcements of the Hybretian Occupational Fleet.

As the illegally constructed Kygonese fleet lay burning and HMIV Empress Elizabeth arrived, destroying the Kygonese flagship, Friedrich Kaiser ordered the Capital destroyed, leveling Haven, despite the Gretian Navy having stated their intention to occupy, not annihilate, the city. The act drew the shock and anger of the Empire of Kordowyn and the other allies, and Friedrich was stripped of all military titles, and command of Kygonese forces was split between Generalia Vina Korza and Daelin I of Hybretia.

Friedrich Kaiser

Friedrich Kaiser was the formerSupreme Leader of the Neo-Kygonese Empire until his falsified death in 244KOR.

**Early Life**

Friedrich Noah Kaiser was born on February 11, 208 in the Empire of Kygon. He was born in the city of Trier before his Father, a well known lawyer, decided to move the family to Haven in 209 as the Kordynian Army began marching towards Trier. He currently has one living brother, William Kaiser II, while Carsten died from a disease in 225KOR. For many years of his youth, he was raised and educated in Haven up until he decided to become a politician when he was 21. His mother died around 227KOR from natural causes which caused him to start drinking. Nothing is much known from his past due to his secrecy.

**Life in the Republic**

After his decision to become a politician in 229, he struggled greatly. Fortunately he was elected a councilman in 230 and served for two years before being elected senator in 232. Kaiser was a very well known practitioner in Kygonism from his speeches. He was also known for being a good senator for three years, participating in the forced peace talks with Inaria in 232KOR. His service led him to be elected Chancellor in 235. He later decided to name himself the Supreme Leader later that year causing the Republic to become autocratic.

**Neo-Kygonese Empire**

After the War of 241, Friedrich announced the declaration of the Neo-Kygonese Empire. At first many people where skeptical about it, until his plan on retaking the expanse and expanding out in the unclaimed regions of the Northern Expanse. In 242, order was restored back to the Empire in the rest of the Kygon Expanse and Kaiser quickly order infrastructure to be built due to years of anarchy. In October of 242, Kaiser's father passed away which, again, caused Friedrich to have another drinking problem. His wine problem ultimately brought defeat in the Battle of Haven, by sending suicide ships to an incoming Gretian Fleet. From that embarrassment, Friedrich sent a portion of his troops to join with the Hybretian Army, while others either remained patrolling the Empire, or sent somewhere else. Later in November of 243, Kaiser became ill with an infection causing his oldest brother to temporarily become Emperor.

On May 30, 244, Supreme Leader Friedrich Kaiser passed away in Luton right before the meetings in the Dirirabwyn Entire. His legacy will be remembered by his failed suiciding bombing attempt against the Gretian Fleet during the Battle of Haven.

**Life after reigning**

It was reported in early 256 that Friedrich Kaiser was still alive after he was found in Luton. It is rumored that his brother, William Kaiser, falsified records of his death. It is believed that Kaiser lived on a farm far in the Kygonese Expanse. In early 258, he was found dead on a path near Mesil and upon discovery of the body, he appeared to be stabbed thirty times in the back.

Basilean IV & II

Emperor Basilean and his second wife, Empress Marcella

**HIH** **Basilean IV & II** was the Emperor of Hybretia from 318KOR until his forced abdication in 338KOR, in favor of his son **Emperor Daelin II.** He was the first Hybretian monarch of the House of Cadigan.

Emperor Basilean's reign was stable until 333, where a series of foreign and domestic policy failures resulted in a massive loss to national pride and living standards and the near independence of Makriaudia, leading to the Koinovoulio forcing his abdication.

Emperor Basilean was first married to Luktra, Princess of Tessros, who gave him three daughters and one son before being killed in a car accident in her EKA *Imperial* 120. During a war, he remarried to Marcella Hughes Clark, a Novacian born Cigaltrine model and Actress famous for several high-budget and somewhat raunchy films. The marriage caused scandal after scandal, marring his reign and public image.

A referendum in Makriaudia during the De-colonization period almost lead to the region breaking away, and it was only saved by extensive campaigns by the popular Caestor-Volinas's, who constantly fought for influence within the government as the remnants of the old Royal House, and by his popular sons, Daelin and Bleddyn.
Father of a Nation: The Life of Peter Rioux

***Father of a Nation: The Life of Peter Rioux*** is a book published in 262, written by Douglas Rioux between 259 and early 262. The book is a thorough biography of Peter Rioux, the founder and first Chancellor of Novac from 233-248.

The book began as a research project where Douglas attempted to learn more about the father he never knew. After extensive research, Douglas began the book in 259 and finished it in late 261, before finishing a revised draft in early 262.

The biography covers Peter's life from birth to death, including interviews with various people who knew him, conducted in person or by letter. The book primarily focuses on his life leading to the founding of the Republic, and his leadership of it. Some of those interviewed are members of Rioux's cabinet, early members of the Novacian Congress, political leaders such as Paul Dover or Edward Madison, Countess Mila of Cadwaller, and Admiral Jameson Ulster. He consulted the archives of the Confederation of Garman, Novac, Kordowyn, and Varsais for many of his sources.

The book was picked up by the Nova Publishing Company, and after a quick polishing pass was published on the 1st of June 262. The book sold extremely well and the 1st edition had sold out within two weeks, a 2nd edition is expected to print in mid July.

The book was lauded by the Novacian press, especially the personal forward by Douglas explaining why he chose to write the book, and his motivations for sharing what he had learned.

## Casualties and Losses

H.M.S. Resolute

None

The **Battle of the Western Sea** was a disaster for the Imperial Fleet after the successful Battle of Iksis. While conducting pillaging operations, the H.W.S. Bathinas spotted a ship at 50 miles which it presumed was on fire. When word was sent to Admiral Dafydd Maddock, he became concerned, and when presented with the unconcious body of a captured foreigner from Iksis, he ordered an immediate withdrawal as soon as possible.

At this time the Hybretians noticed six distinct plumes of smoke in the distance, which they eventually determined to be three vessels incoming. They ran up alarm flags, causing a panicked retreat by the Hybretians, Kolanski, and Templari'i, who fled the area as soon as they could. The Garmanese lingered for answers, before also fleeing.

Admiral Maddock decided to buy time for the rest of the Kordynian fleet, taking the heavily damaged *Resolute* straight into the Gretian fleet, which had been led there by fleeing Ikisians. The H.M.I.V. *Rodric IV* opened fire on the Resolute, The H.M.I.V Acren gave chase to the Garmanese Ship, the LRG gCosantóirí, the Garmanese fired upon the Acren with its main volley of cannonfire, doing considerable damage to the Acren, who retaliated by firing back and making the cannons on the starboard side of the Garmanese ship inoperable. After the Garmanese fired once again upon the Acren with its two front heavy cannons, the Acren withdrew and joined the chase against the Resolute

The Resolute never returned to port, her crew has been declared Killed In Action. News of the attack alarmed New Hybris, Kordowyn and Abhainn Garman.
Drekheim

The **Autocratic Kingdom of Drekheim** was a state bridging the gap between the Kygonese Expanse and the Western Reach, which borders the Neo-Kygonese Empire, Grand Duchy of Kolangrad, and Cigaltria.

In ancient times, the Drekheimians wrecked havoc on the Kygonese, Endiolaudik, and Gorathic merchant fleets. Following The Great Cataclysm there was a period of intense raiding by Drekheimian warlords who managed to carve out a brief empire. Lead by Harthecorax, the Drekheimian Empire at it's greatest extent included modern day Kolangrad, parts of Cigaltria, and southern Kygon. With the death of Harthecorax, the empire collapsed, and was eventually reduced to a minor state isolated in a mountain range.

Drekheim was given a large amount of land in 210KOR by the Empire of Kordowyn, denying that land to the Empire of Kygon, which collapsed shortly after. King Aschluss I married Naria of Ambrus in the 210s, and she eventually became Queen of Inaria-Ambrus. Drekheim supported the Pan-Continental Coalition in the War of 241, but then withdrew from international affairs during the Great Alarm.

The dictatorship under Sirsin continued into the 270s, bolstered by Drekheim's volunteer army's success in the Dalovk Rebellion and Second Great War. Sirsin lost control of the government in 300 at the age of 77, and within a few years the Dictatorship was overthrown in the August War, when the nation was invaded and conquered by a joint Hybro-Kygonese invasion.
