Monarchs

Here is a list of all Clantean monarchs with short descriptions and when they ruled.

### **Great King Lazar**

Reign Start: 2 april 2022 in lore, 5 april 2022 in game.

Reign End: 13 may 2022

Reigned from: Krusevac

Unlike other kings, he didn't inherit the kingdom, but was appointed by the Regency Council. He allowed alot more political freedom in Clante, changing the country from a dictatorship to a conservative democracy with an elected parliament. He also heavily cracked down on corruption in Clante. However on may 13th he allowed religious freedom in Clante. Nobody liked that. He was killed and Mihajlo Gisic took power in the country as regent.

### **Regent Mihajlo Gisic**

Regency start: 13 may 2022

Regency end: 24 may 2022

As the regent, he was expected to re-instate theocracy in the country. However, he didnt manage to do that and tried to improve the country by other means. It went unappreciated and he was still denied the crown. Eventually, on 24 may, he seized full power for himself and forced a coronation.

#### **Great King Mihajlo**

Reign start: 24 may 2022

Reign end: 25 june 2022

Mihajlo I started as a popular regent, but after the coup, his popularity got worse. It didnt help that, even as king, it took him a long time to re-instate the theocracy. Corruption was growing rapidly and the people started suspecting him of being a traitor, so he became authoritarian. He completely outlawed political freedom and banned elections, then he drugged the water. It is only after animals started going crazy that he made the drugs in the water less powerful. Eventually, he stopped recognizing New Fern as the only nation equal to Clante, and the Autocrat of New Fern sent spies to assasinate him. While giving a speech, Mihajlo was assasinated by a New Fernian agent, who was heavily wounded and barely escaped back to his home country.

### **Regent Mirko Tasić**

Regency start: 25 june 2022

Regency end: 1 july 2022

After Mihajlo was assasinated, Mirko was elected as the Clantean regent. He is a relative of Lazar, so he deeply hated Mihajlo. He re-recognized New Fern as equal immediately and repaired relations with them. He also removed the drugs from the water supply completely. In addition, he banned Clantean national leaders, including himself, from talking to the public. He was quick to end the regency, but instead of being crowned as Great King like everyone else, he was crowned as Great Emperor.

#### **Great Emperor Mirko** (before civil war)

Reign start: 1 july 2022

Reign end: 9 july 2022

Mirko I's reign saw the end of the Great Kingdom and the start of the Great Empire. He also started rooting out corruption and the black market. He brought elections back to Clante and began freeing the country. However, when he banned human sacrifice, the resolution also cancelled the theocracy policy, and by now Mirko knew how that ends. He made pre-emptive measures and instead of a coup, Clante got embroiled in a civil war, which killed over 89% of its population.

#### **Great Emperor Mirko** (after civil war)

Reign start: 13 july 2022

Reign end: De jure 26 July 2022, De facto 19 July 2022

After the conflict ended, he started increasing the number of vats to recover the population numbers back to normal. Then, his reign was largely focused on improving and expanding the military. What he failed to do, however, is to secure it's loyalty. The army invited Srecko Jelic, Governor of Vualor over, and proclaimed him the new Great Emperor. Mirko I refused to comply and abdicate, so he gathered some loyalists to fight. However, he very quickly lost the capital and most of the nation. Now, his movement is more of a small rebellion than a civil war.

## **Jelić Dynasty**

### **Great Emperor Srecko I, styled Radovan**

Reign Start: 19 July 2022

Reign end: 24 July 2022

First monarch of the house of Jelic, installed on the throne by the army. His capital is also the place where he met with the army who installed him on the throne. After becoming Emperor, he made his brother governor of Vualor and gave important ranks and titles to his family. He also continued Mirko's policy of expanding the military, and banned women from voting. Then, he estabilished the first dynasty of Clante - Jelić. His reign title is Radovan, after the founder of the Clantean Armed Republic. However, he died from a disease very quickly. His son succeeded the throne.

### **Great Emperor Srecko II, styled Novislav**

Reign Start: 24 July 2022

Reign end: 30 July 2022

Second monarch of the Jelić Dynasty. He decided to stay in his father's designated capital and made it the permanent capital of the Jelić Dynasty. This caused a few minor rebellions, but they were quickly suppressed. On 26 July, Mirko died of cancer and his rebellion ended. Srecko then suddenly passed away himself on 30 July.

### **Great Emperor Jezdimir I, styled Radojko**

Reign Start: 30 July 2022

Reign end: 31 July 2022

Third monarch of the Jelić Dynasty. He inherited the throne completely unprepared to rule Clante. However, he didn't rule long anyway, as he died of heart disease on 31 July.

### **Great Emperor Mijat, styled Zdeslav**

Reign start: 31 July 2022

Reign end: 19 August 2022

Fourth monarch of the Jelić Dynasty. Because his brother's Jezdimir's son was only 3, Mijat was chosen as the new Emperor instead. On (idk what day) August, he declared war on New Fern. The war was going extremely well and 2 cities were captured in a short period of time. However, New Fern has called in allies that Clante has never heard of. Not knowing their military strength, Clante decided to burn these cities down, retreat back to Clante, and prepare nukes. However, New Fern offered to end the war and pay equivalent war reparations if the cities were not burned. Mijat accepted the offer. On 19 August 2022, he died of cancer.

### **Great Emperor Ilija, styled Slobodan**

"Reign" start: 19 August 2022

"Reign" end: 29 August 2022 (non-lore 10 September 2022)

He was forcefully installed on the throne at age 6 as a puppet of the regent Mitar Zorić. Corruption became so rampant that majority of bribes were accepted and the public transport system completely collapsed. All his life, he was used as a puppet emperor before being forced to abdicate. He was then made a duke of some far away land, but was assasinated on the way there.

## **Three Dynasties**

Not much will be written here. Go check out the **'Turmoil Following Mijat I's death'** factbook for the history of the 3 dynasties. I cant put it here, its simply too long.

## **Stojan Dynasty**

### **Great Emperor Zvonko, styled Teodor**

Reign start: 15 September 2022 in lore, 16 September 2022 off-lore.

Reign end: 2 October 2022

He unified Clante for the first time in like 3 irl weeks. His new dynasty was especially legalist, removing devolution and centralizing power, to prevent another decentralized governor era from happening. It cracked down on civil rights too. However, he also noticed Nesić's weakness - too little power among the imperial family. Therefore, after taking the throne, he made governors of many of his uncles, cousins, brothers, and sons, each with semi-independent military commands. This was supposed to prevent his dynasty from ending up like the Nesić Dynasty. He later fell ill, which led to a succession crisis, because his only son was severely mentally.... special.. so many people wanted his capable brother as heir. The emperor became concerned by this and eventually had his brother assasinated. Then he started wondering who to make his son's regent after he dies. Before he could decide, he had a sudden heart attack and died, leaving the empire in the hands of a developmentally disabled son and governors intent on shedding each other's blood for power, and while he would not see the disastrous consequences himself, the consequences would soon come.

### **Great Emperor Jezdimir II, styled Gojko**

Reign start: 2 October 2022

Reign end: 18 December 2022

Unable to rule the empire properly, his reign was dominated by regents and relatives doing things for him and handling Clantean affairs.

### **Great Emperor Srecko III, styled Teodor**

Reign start: 18 December 2022

Reign end: 2 March 2023

Banned internet on the 19th of January 2023, dropping the average disposable income significantly. He also became militaristic and started waging war on countries over international contests. To avoid a coup, he quickly fixed the disposable income and executed a large portion of the court. After a long reign, he passed away of old age without any legal heirs.

### **Second Interregnum Council**

Regency start: 2 March 2023

### **Great Emperor Miomir**

Reign start: 17 March 2023

Reign end: 10 April 2023

Miomir came out victorious in the disorder of the 2nd Interregnum. Upon ascension, he refused to select a title name, ending the tradition. He is famous for the Marriage of the Two Empires, where he married Helene von Habsburg, the Empress of New Fern. On 30 March 2023, he had made an important decision - he abolished socialism in Clante, a last ditch attempt at stopping stagnation.

### **Great Emperor Karl I**

Reign start: 10 April 2023

Reign end: 2 May 2023

Karl grew up very spoiled, and positioned to inherit both Clante and New Fern. After inheriting Clante, he immediately began spending reserves on massive palaces, etc, while waiting for his mother Helene to die so he can also inherit New Fern. In New Fern, he disproportionately taxed the people as New Fern was very absolutist, setting the stage for a decline. He eventually passed away on May 2nd.

### **Great Emperor Karl II**

Reign start: 2 May 2023

Reign end: 18 May 2023

Karl II had to deal with a civil war started by Ferdinand, because of which he had to give up New Fern, but kept Clante. However, he recognized the Ordensstaat and it's canadian allies as more of a threat than Ferdinand, so he made sure to estabilish friendly relations with New Fern and help them recover their economy.

### **Great Emperor Karl III**

Reign start: 18 May 2023

Reign end: 21 June 2023

Cousin of Karl II, started a civil war in Clante to seize power and won with the support of the armed forces. His strategy was a militaristic build up and a focus on regaining New Fern. When Ferdinand of New Fern, heard about his rise to power, he apparently said "It's Ferdinandin' Time" and Carolus Rex by Sabaton began playing. On 28 May, he allied New Dacia and Leidaria to help in the invasion. On 29 May, Uvalor joined too. Then, he declared war on the same day, and New Fern surrendered immediately after an anti-ferdinand coup. On 9 June, he was crowned as king of all parts of New Fern. Karl III wanted to utilize the high military morale and loyalty, so on 17 June, he invaded Repualan. He passed away on 21 June of meth overdose.

## Great Empire

### Princely Assembly (Regency)

Regency start: 20 July 2023

Regency end: 14 October 2023

As New Fernian armies were away from home, and the idea of a union stopped being popular, the Princely Assembly would progressively make reforms to give rights to citizens and eventually declare the Great Empire on 20 July. It would reintroduce elections and all that shit, but it eventually failed after a military coup. On another note, it banned vats. After the coup, it's focus shifted from democratization to military build up. On October 14 2023, the Regency Council, after being given a month (2-day) deadline by Petrović on October 13 to decide what to do with the monarchy, decided to officially abolish it, and the Regency was finally called off at 11:08 am.
