Potato Empire

The Potato Empire is a vast empire spanning hundreds of Pixels. It was created by Coz957 shortly after the canvas was created.

## History

### European Period

The Potato empire was created by Coz957 in France in the early days of Krevs World War. It started in the south, and expanded into the North and parts of Germany. During this time it created a Canadian colony, and also adopted a coat of arms. It spread from France to Poland at its height.

### Early Canadian Period

After the Potato Empire had peaked in Europe with the annexation of Poland, Coz957 knew that any European territory would be inpermanent and focused more on the Canadian colony. It spread across Labrador towards Toronto while its European territory was slowly fading. The Potato Empire invaded and split the Midwest Empire with Croatia, but could not completely annex it. When it got back online it was horrified and to avoid war the Empire made a deal with the Midwest and it got some of its land back. Later on it fully collapsed, and Potato and Croatia formally split its territory. After a few more border changes with Croatia, the Potato Empire was ready to go on the offensive.

### Expansionist Period

The Potato Empire during this period was not actually a warmonger, but rather a coloniser of the last wild areas of the canvas. It spread throughout Ontario, and later on Manitoba and Dakota. It weaved around the art to stay on top. As well as expanding its mainland, now in Canada (by this point its European territories were long gone), it also colonised in South America, creating the Peruvian Colony. This period ended when it reached the border with Acehnese BC and made the railway, and formed the alliance.

### Anti-Gric Period

This period began slowly, with the Empire consolidating its territory in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Dakota. Around this time the provinces of the Empire where formed as well. But soon it heated up. Aceh/Indonesia, Potato Empires closest ally, created the Anti-Gric alliance and when it attacked Australia unprovoked, the Potato Empire joined the alliance. It split the rest of Canada with the Holy Trollface Empire, and got cozy with its new allies, which included the HTE, Croatia, France and the baltic Icosa Dynasty. It slowly annexed some of Gric's land bit by bit, such as in Siberia. It looked like Gric was on the decline. Alaska was split between the HTE, Aceh, Potato Empire and the Icosa Dynasty. But Gric struck back, and retook Alaska. The tide had turned in Grics favour as it slowly realised what was happening. Acehnesia (Aceh/Indonesia) was not as keen on the alliance as before, and wanted to disband it to form another much smaller alliance between Croatia and the Potato Empire. Coz957 agreed, and the three players slowly withdrew from the alliance.

### End Period

By the End Period Potato had new ventures in Tibet, and was more content with itself. The new alliance with Croatia and Acehnesia was called the Pact of Diamond and is still fairly small. But the Pact of Diamond is now replaced with TOP, and a new fight against the HTE began. This wasn't to do anything but make Coz957 go inactive. Overall the Potato Empire has grown and shrunk over the years, and has left a mark on history.

## Canvas Relations

The Potato Empire had a plethora of allies. These include Acehnesia, headed by Hipsmeister, and Croatia and its colonies. Out of the countries it borders, the two aforementioned are allies, the HTE is an enemy, and with the Labrador country there is technically no relations, but in practice there is a friendship. After it abandoned Anti-Gric it has no formal enemies, and relations with Gric were severed upon entry into Anti-Gric but were restored slightly after entry into TOP.
