## Time

### Founding

The Merchant Empire of Andromeda, or more simply Andromeda, is a nation located in northeast Lunor. Andromeda was formed by Luxanne on August 30th, 2022.

### Culture

Epsilon Andromedae is a galactic nation from a planet far, far away. The nation is made up of a humanoid species called Stellari and the Violastra. The Stellari and Violastra as a whole love the colors white and blue, as they think it symbolizes them. The aliens also love technology, as they rely on it for much of their progress.

### Economy

Andromeda is currently made up of a singular city: Zenith City. It is a small town in east Lunor, in a grassy plain. There they grow potatoes, wheat, carrots, and beetroots for both feeding the town and exporting if they have to. The city runs on a currency called Sol, which means Sun in Latin.

### Geography

The nation is situated on the northeastern Isles of Fae. Some of the cities of Andromeda lie upon a mainland continent as well. The land is fairly flat, and is very grassy and fertile. Zenith City is located along a river and plains biome. Colonia is located in a dry savannah biome. Finally, Albion is located on a dark oak island.

## Government

### Empress/Emperor

The title of Empress/Emperor is the highest rank in the Empire. They have absolute authority over matters in the nation. The Empress/Emperor could only be deposed if seventy-five percent of the Governors voted them out of office. If they refused, brute strength can be used. Upon resignation, the next Empress/Emperor is chosen by the resigning one.

### Governor

The Governor is a rank handed out to those trusted by the current Empress/Emperor. They make up a council and help lead the nation. Governors can create trade agreements with other nations. They can also propose the vassalization of a certain city to the Empress/Emperor, who will either let them continue with the vassalization or not. Governors can be removed by the Empress/Emperor, though cannot be removed by fellow Governors.

### Officer

The Officer is a rank owned by mayors of towns. They have absolute authority over their towns, only overridden by requests from the Empress/Emperor. They can suggest laws and ideas to the council, though do not have guaranteed power in the government.

## The Reign of Luxanne Stellaryn

### The Local Tribes and Zenith City

Upon their arrival on Lunor, the Violastra and Stellari voted on a capable leader. Luxanne Stellaryn, a Stellari royal, won the vote and became the First Empress of the Andromedan Empire. Whilst setting up their camp, the aliens encountered local tribes. After some talks with them, they decided to show the aliens the way of Lunor in exchange for the admission into the Empire.

After the absorption of the local tribes, Andromeda began building up its great capital of Zenith City. The great Cosmic Arch was established here, a symbol of Violastra and Stellari origin and power. Along with that, some agriculture and houses were built up. The second greatest structure being the Empress' Manor.

### The Moss Blessing Crisis

The first crisis involving Andromeda soon came to be when its neighboring nation, the Republic of Feirrood, did an illegal merge. The owner of Moss Blessing, Chak, illegally signed documents he had no power signing and merged a chunk of Feirrood into Andromeda. To reclaim the stolen territory, the Republic of Feirrood signed a treaty with the Shroomish Empire.

The crisis came to a peaceful end when Feirrood and Shroomish raiders came to Moss Blessing. Chak gave up his scheme, and the Treaty of Pax was signed. Giving Feirrood its land back, and defining Feirr/Andromedan borders. Luxanne Stellaryn had helped peacefully end this crisis.

### The Expansion and Signing of Treaties

After Zenith City was built up well, Luxanne Stellaryn wanted a new city and sent her new governor, Zakuul, to go found one. Zenith City was located on the Isles of Fae, the rest of the isles being controlled by Feirrood. Therefore, Zakuul had to travel across the sea. He reached the neighboring continent of Valór and established his economic-focused city of Colonia.

At the same time, the Empress also wanted to forge allies with the other great powers of Lunor. She sent her head of diplomacy, Ruri Viola, to go sign an alliance with Centrom. After a perilous travel through the world, the diplomat signed a treaty. The Empire of Andromeda and the Republic of Centrom became allies that day.

### The Copper Crisis

On the outskirts of Zenith City, for trade, Luxanne had commanded the oxidization of copper. Hundreds of copper was laid out and began its aging process for years. Eventually, it was done. However, as the gatherers collected the valuable material, they noticed some had been taken. An investigation led to the discovery of the thief: Dottasov of Feirrood. After bringing this to the Feirrood court, he was kicked out of the nation for this crime. The copper was returned, and all went back to normal.

To further their territory even more, the Empress dispatched another governor: Saliz. Saliz also traveled to Valór and established the town of Salizgrad atop a mountain. The first structure she built was the great tower, a big building to touch the skies.

### The Betrayal of a Nation

Time passed, and the Empire of Andromeda grew. However, the head of diplomacy, Ruri Viola, eventually found out a terrible truth: Luxanne Stellaryn had been plotting to betray her nation. In order to stop the traitorous Empress, Ruri gathered the two other council members Adam and Zakuul to kill her. The scheme was carried out and Luxanne Stellaryn was killed before she could betray her nation.

In her death, Ruri Viola was crowned the Empress of the Empire of Andromeda. Luxanne, although a traitor, was buried in the Zenith Cemetery out of respect. This ended an era for the Empire.

## The Reign of Ruri Viola

### The Grab for Land

Once again Andromeda began taking more land. Ruri Viola dispatched Adam, one of the old locals of Lunor, to build a massive super factory for industry. The factory would house something to create everything. It would make Andromeda the sole economic powerhouse of Lunor. It was also across a channel of water from Zenith City, so it was close to the capital.

Another city was built in some old dark oak forests: the Isle of Alcohol. It was a small island in a lake. Its governor was Vondolp, an alcoholic. It would export valuable drinks to the rest of the world for more profits. Ruri Viola was very economically focused.

### The End of Andromeda

All was not what it seemed in Andromeda: a dangerous item had gained dominance over Ruri Viola's mind. She was the slave to the Dragon Egg. To get the item, she traded all Andromedan land illegally to the Republic of Centrom. She then took the Dragon Egg and fled to do its bidding.

This ended the long rule of the Empire of Andromeda, one characterized by its poor rulers, but valiant governors. The cities of Andromeda still exist today, though under the banner of Centrom.
