People's Republic of Bogus

## INTRODUCTION:

The **Empire of Bogus**, formerly the **People's Republic of Bogus** is a nation located on nearly every corner of the server, including the Capital of Bogovia City on the island in the southeast of the same name, the Horse Island Military Garrison on Horse Island, Bogusoid Sabria, Slime Central in the swamplands, Hypathia on the Golden Coast, Moonshine Bay in the Swamp-Desert intermediary, Slaskia in the Far North, and The Kingdom of Behsight in the northeast dark oak island. It is one of the most populated and industrialized powers on the server, and one of the founding members of the United Nations of Prairie.

Bogus has historically had very close relations with Klishka, Banbonia, and the other states of the Golden Coast, as well as being partners of Etheria and Hautbois.

## LORE OF BOGUS

### Josh's Fiefdom and the Haytch Era:

Little documentation from this era still lasts, but its influence on the rest of the history of Bogus has been very present. At this point in time, what would be considered Bogus was ruled and based entirely around the rule of Josh Kashima, and was located geographically approximately where it currently is. This era was the era in which the Bogusoid Chuch was founded as the national church of Haytch.

### Hypathia and the Hypathian/Haytch Civil War:

At some point in time, due to a large scale war against griefers in which the city Old Hypathia became the last bastion of Haytch, all of Haytch gradually became known as Hypathia. The chaos this war caused would cause Josh to become increasingly tyrannical in order to maintain control in those chaotic times, but even after the war was over he never relinquished his power. Eventually, he decided to ban all swear words in his realm. This caused immense outrage over this breach in constitutional rights, leading to several powers rising up within Hypathia against Josh. This became one of the most important conflicts in this history of Hypathia.

In the first few weeks of the Civil War, things became complicated as the rebellious states began fighting with each other due to massive differences in beliefs regarding how the server should be run. The most important of these rebellious states would be Theoduskia, which was comprised of North and South Theoduskia (now known as Haytch in the Empire of Yulk and the 2nd Band of Novi in Horse Island).

Theoduskia would form the Army of the Hypathian Federation and begin attacks against Hypathia Proper to try to end the Josh regime. This would prove unsuccessful and the war would become a deadly stalemate. Eventually however, Josh relaxed his policies, leading to most Theoduskian and Federation forces defecting back to Hypathia proper, with the remaining loyalists fleeing north to the Duchy of Susland within the Heavenly Kingdom to continue the struggle.

### The Haypotis and Bogus Era

In an attempt to distance his state from the Army of the Hypathian Federation, whose terroristic plot to create weapons of mass destruction and use them against civilian targets in Hypathia proper to end the stalemate caused a very strong reaction across society, Josh would change the name of the fiefdom to Haypotis and eventually Bogus. This followed a period of political stabilization has Josh fully cemented his rule over the realm.

Following the rapid arrival of the Yulkans from the Far north as an expedition from the Heavenly Kingdom, large parts of Bogus were lost to the Yulkans, including Horse Island, with the small island of Bogovia becoming the last bastion of Bogus. The Theoduksian Remnants also arrived on the Gold Coast as a part of the Yulkan expedition, colonizing the Klishkan land of Nuageux. Following the Yulkan Religious wars and the conversion of Yulk to Fourthism, they joined Bogus as the Hypathia Colony in order to align more closely with the faith they followed.

## SERVER HISTORY

### Prairie 10 Beginning Era

Although tensions were high at the beginning due to the Hypathia Colony claiming the entirety of the Gold Coast and invalidating their claim to independence, Klishka would soon become the greatest ally of Bogus due to their common mistrust of Yulk and Lushile. Eventually, due to the expansion of the cities and the construction of the Klishkan Continental Rail, Klishka City and Hypathia would become integrated into one single Megapolis, accounting for a very large portion of the entire server's population, wealth, and industry.

### The Lushilian Civil War

When members of Lushile split off to create the Rat Rebellion, it was decided that Bogus would not send any aid to either side, although many members asked to volunteer in the Crow Army. After the war ended, many Rat Rebellion members decided to join Bogus in the Kingdom of Behsight.

### The Second Yulkan War

Due to Horse Island being one of the core territories of both Haytch and Old Hypathia, as well as a lot of ambiguity regarding the status of the island due to statements by its Yulkan Lord \_Mowgi, many small conflicts and one war were fought over the island's status.

After \_Mowgi made very questionable statements regarding his intent to use flying machines to bomb several major cities, including Klishka, a war against Yulk was declared. This quickly concluded with the lukewarm decision to have a land trade and a non-aggression pact for one month, with a Bogus Garrison being constructed on Horse Island.

### The War to End all Wars

Due to the high number of Rat Rebellion members that joined Bogus and the particular terroristic actions of Saman8000 against Lushile members in the nether (who left Bogus), the UN War on Terror was used as an excuse for Yulk to declare war on the Kingdom of Behsight and therefore the rest of Bogus as well. This broke the one month non-aggression pact and propelled Yulk into war against Bogus, Klishka, and Banbonia. This war was started for purely expansionist reasons due to the worsening crisis in the Heavenly Kingdom.

## Geography

Bogus is comprised of several constituent states, which are all federated under the rule of Bogovia.

### BLUE: The Bogovian Megalopolis

Comprising the many smaller settlements around the capital of Bogovia, this city is the largest and most populated constituent state of the country, and first among equals. It has many unique terrain types, such as the insular sabrian terrain of the island of Bogovia itself as well as the swamps of Slime Central, home to the largest slime factory in the world. Bogovia is the sun around which Bogus revolves.

* Ideology: Managerial State

### ORANGE: The State of Hypathia

Beginning on the gold coast and spreading far into the Klishkan Jungle, Hypathia is a very unique city because just like its neighbor Klishka, it is entirely based around treehouses. This city is one of the richest parts of the country, and hosts one of the most industrialized and commercially active centers on the server, as well as a sanctuary for wildlife such as turtles and ocelots. Hypathia is also in charge of a part of the southern desert known as New South Jails for explosives testing and sand mining.

* Ideology: Managerial State

### GREEN: The Kingdom of Behsight

Based out of the dark oak island of the northeast, the Kingdom of Behsight is a unique partially-subterranean state within Bogus. It hosts very scenic beaches and a one-of-a-kind view of the edge of the world. Unfortunately, it is not open to foreigners, and has strict visa requirements for a guided entry and tour.

* Ideology: Ordosocialism

### YELLOW: The State of Slaskia

Comprised of the far northern island of the same name, Slaskia is a scenic snowy wonderland in summer, and a harsh wasteland in winter. Ironically hosting the largest agricultural sector in Bogus, it is a small but powerful state in Bogus. Like Hypathia, this state was also founded and settled by Theoduskian Remnant forces.

* Ideology: Managerial State

### RED: Moonshine Bay

Famous for its Midsummer Feasts and huge rodent population, Moonshine Bay is an eccentric state within Bogus. Entirely ruled by Theddie on his guitar and wood surfboard, this state is known as the party center of Bogus. It provides the majority of the alcohol and other brewed goods for Bogus, and is an active commercial and entertainment hub. It will be featured very prominently in the first issue of the Eternal Circus' comic.

* Ideology: Futurism

### PURPLE: Horse Island Garrison

With no permanent population and serving little purpose more than being a base of operations from which a full scale invasion of the Yulkan Bretherlands can take place, the Horse Island Garrison is hardly a constituent country of its own. Directly ruled by Bogovia and sponsored by Hypathia, the Horse Island Garrison is a military base hosting facilities for both defensive and offensive operations. This land was obtained from Yulk following the First Horse Island War and the negotiation that led to the trading of a part of Bogusoid Sabria in return for a peninsula on Horse Island. The garrison is off-limits to all visitors and anyone found trespassing past the great Bogus-Yulk Friendship Wall will be killed.

* Ideology: Military Dictatorship
