## Info

It borders Clandestinus (Space Haven) in the north, the Kingdom of Poland in the east, the Alpine Confederation and Republeca de Venèsia in to the south, the French Sisterhood, a colony of the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands in the West. There are currently 8 members in the federation.

## History

The Mazsclew Union was founded and lead by the Mazsclew Order for generations. The Mazsclew Order was originally made up of 11 knights, who each ruled their own tribes. After a great plague they gathered together and united as one nation to be able to compete politically with other nations. They agreed to have a feudal system and a national council with a elected leader. The first elected leader was from the Mazsclew Woods, and thus the name "Mazsclew Order".

#### First expansion

65 years after the creation of the Mazsclew Order, the different viking tribes united after a brutal civil war that lasted for years. The winner was the people from Nordmark, who seeked revenge because the Mazsclew Order had supported the people of Nochnebelheim. However, when they set out to raid Denmark, they were defeated after the entire Mazsclew armed forces accidentaly stumbled upon their camp on a foggy night, and slaughtered the majority of the vikings. After this defeat, Nordmark was economically defeated, and was forces to sign an agreement to pay reparations, and soon after a coup replaced the government, and they joined the federation, and was the 12th member of the Mazsclew Order.

#### The Civil War

A couple of years after the First Expansion, on a particularly dry summer, flames and smoke was observed in the Mazsclew Woods. Since this forest holds major historical value for the people of Mazsclew Union, all the manpower accessible was sent to fight the flames. A portion of the people sent to fight the flames were soldiers and officers from Nochnebelheim and Nordmark. After a while and after weeks with hard work, the flames were put out. However, when the soldiers started to travel home, bad weather stopped them from crossing the strait between Dornburg and Nochnebelheim. This resulted in the soldiers staying in Eichenwald for 3 days. When the soldiers and officers stayed in the capital, they started to envy the people in Eichenwald. They wanted to have equal living conditions. So on the last day of their stay in Eichenwald, they sent a letter asking for an explanation and demanding equal living conditions. This letter was later lost in a fire. After the Mazsclew Order’s council discussed the letter, a public speech was announced. Many speculated that the council wanted to mute any other form of uprising by having that speech. The person that was to hold the speech was to everyone's surprise not the council leader, but rather the leader of Alternburg, a region with fast growing power. Almost too fast, according to some. When the Lord of Alternburg entered the podium, there was mixed applause, but this didn’t scare the Lord. Just after the first counter-argument was presented, a projectile flew through the air. The counter-argument was about economy, and the projectile was a poisonous arrow. The arrow hit the Lord just under the collarbone, and he died shortly after. The person that shot the arrow was a young officer that had enough. He was beaten to death together with 8 more innocent people by an angry mob. This was later described as “the spark that set off the flames”. The leaders in Alternburg was furious. They demanded revenge. In the power-vacuum that the Lord left after his sudden death, sent the whole region into chaos. After a meeting with 8 of the members in the council (The members from Nochnebelheim and Nordmark were temporarily excluded), they agreed that the federal government should take control of Alternburg. After this, things seemed to calm down. What they didn’t know was that this was the calm before the storm. On February 27th, the people of Nochnebelheim attacked a military outpost in the city of Fjallheim. They burnt almost the entire tower down, and chased the garrison away, executing the prisoners as “traitors”. This set off a sense of panic throughout the entire nation. Both the federal government and the regional government scrambled all their available resources and manpower to stop the uprising. The ever-growing mob swiftly went from stronghold to stronghold, conquering territory faster than anyone could expect. After a short time, both Nordmark and Nochnebelheim were taken by the mob. In the start, nobody really knew who was behind the quick success of the mob.
