The Montergian Empire

(IN THE PROCESS OF REWRITE, BEAR WITH) The Montergian Empire (Formerly The Montergian Imperial State, Montergian Republic) is one of the main factions spanning large sections of the Beta and Gamma quadrants of the Galaxy. Their home Planet is Terra, otherwise known as Earth, known for being the cradle of humanity. The Empire itself was formed in 2056 by the five nations council, who, with the backing of the majority of people in the original 5 states, wished to form the countries together to combat Terran aggression. The closest Ally to the Montergian Empire at the current moment (2768) is the Arskodian Republic, which together form a majority of the power within the Galaxy.

## History

### Before 1890

The Montergian Countries are situated upon a great continent known as Monteri, based off the fictional continent of Mu. It was home to the ancient Mon-terge tribes, who are believed to have their heritage from the Polynesians and Eastern Asia, being shown in their design of weapons, such as their swords, which were a mix of the hilt design of a Filipino Kampilan sword, while the blade design more closely follows a Japanese Katana, for better motion of the blade and weight. The Mon-terge tribes believed in a religion known as "Maunkuara", they believed that the God of Gods "Maunguara" controlled the other gods through war, as it was a way of life. Before a war or big battle, Mon-terge people prayed tp the God of Battle "Mauntounau" for good fortune, and wore items known as "Mauntu", which translated means "War Fins" or "War Spikes", which were large sharp blades protruding from both the front and back of their headwear. It was also traditional that all members of the tribe cover their face in battle, with younger fighters given cloths to put over their faces, while higher members of the tribe would wear full face coverings and rudimentary helmets.

In the year 1521, the Spanish made landfall on the East Isles of Monteri in the area now known as "Magellan Beach". The explorers brought the news to the world that there was indeed another continent unexplored, and thus most of the nations sent their best explorers to investigate. The French arrived first in 1525, on the Eastern tail of Monteri, and named the their new colony "Nouvelle Lozere". The British were next, who landed in the southwestern area of the continent, and named their new colony "The Dominion of Faskingtonshire" after the explorer who found it first, Sir Henry Faskington.

In the 1700s, The French decided to turn their Colony into the main hub with which to build a next generation of warships, which would later be known as Iron Clads. This was also the time in which both the French and British agreed to a buffer area between their colonies to prevent conflict, this area would be designated the "Montergian Buffer Zone" and would be the site for some of the greatest developments of Montergian History, as well as founding the Town of Estinia, after the local tribe leader Alger Estin, who was a great warrior from Prussia, who found himself in Monteri by odd circumstances, his ancestors would later become the Von Estins, the Rulers of the Montergian Empire.

By the late 1800s, multiple empires had made their claims to the continent, including the British, French, Russians, German and oddly the Brazilians. The Montergian Buffer Zone had began to develop into a new nation, learning from their neighbours and becoming a more advanced civilization rather than a few fledgling tribes, which even inspired people to start moving there en-masse. Because of the major empires presence on the continent causing unwanted tensions, and interest increasing in Africa, The United States decided to intervene and decided something needed to be done, as a major war should be avoided at all costs.

### The Treaty of Estinia

The Montergian Republic was born in an agreement between countries (Treaty of Estinia) where the major powers could not decide who should control the whole continent. Wanting to avoid a potential World War over the area, the Germans suggested that each country leave the land to their settlers, who had moved there as part of colonization efforts. After all countries came to an agreement, the Treaty of Estinia was signed, removing the control of all major Empires on the continent and made 6 separate nations, The Dominion of New Faskingtonshire, Deutsch-Nord Montergo, Nouvelle Lozere, Novyy Savinskiy, Nova Curitiba and the Montergian Republic

### The Founding Days of the new Countries (1910s and 1920s)

During the First World War, a lot of different people moved to the different countries to leave the War behind, bringing wealthy and smart people to the country, as well as a vast labour force. Because of the vast influx of people, the Montergian continent rapidly expanded and changed, and started to move beyond some of the technology of the time such as the airplane and diesel submarine.

### The Rise of the Montergian Republic (1930s and World War II)

During the 1930s, the Republic continued its research into new weaponry to expand their territory. This led to the question of power. When asked about designs, the R&D department came up with a plan to use the naturally occurring uranium, found vastly in Montergian caves and mines, to create power from their decaying atoms, thus, the first Nuclear Reactor was created in 1930. They then used this knowledge to create the first ever Atomic Weapon, which was tested in 1937. The Montergians, seeing how destructive this bomb was, destroyed the plans and swore all scientists to secrecy, hoping that this technology never came to light.

During 1938, the nation of Nova Curitiba began having

### Cracks forming in the foundations and Civil war (The Cold War)

During the Cold War, Tensions were becoming strained between the world's main powers and the Montergian Republic, due to their changing difference in ideology, with the Republic growing an Authoritarian stance as the government became weary of its neighbours, especially Nova Curitiba due to what it had carried out in World War II (The worst case was with the United States, who had tried to assassinate various Republic politicians to encourage a regime change).

In the early 1950s, The Government and included departments would become rife with corruption, mostly with big businesses paying the government to change labour laws and living wages. notably one of the only companies to not take part in this was Erus Military Solutions, who manufactured weapons, ammunition and vehicles for the Republic Army.

It was in the 1970s that the Republic decided to start interacting with the outside world again, and in 1971, they established an embassy in the Soviet Union, with the UK and West Germany soon to follow. Many welcomed the Republic into the global community with open arms, most of them looking to engage in trade with them due to their vast wealth of resources and technology. This led to a national crisis in which the government neglected their own people and caused a famine to occur, which killed hundreds of thousands of their own citizens.

The 70s and 80s also saw the rise of tax rates to unprecedented highs, with the government looking to siphon as much money out of the economy as they could for themselves, as well as introducing the highly controversial "State Protection Decree", which almost completely shut the Republic's borders with both its neighbouring countries and the international community, allowing only trade to come and go. This proved to be the final straw for the public, who felt that the President and his crony government had taken too many of their rights and freedoms for far too long, and thus the imperialists were formed, spearheaded by former Republic Military General and Descendent of Alger Estin, Otto Estin.

Tensions finally culminated in 1983 with the secession of the imperialists into their own country called the "Montergian Enclave State" or the M.E.S for short. With them fled a majority of the Republic Military and taking just under half of the Republic's territory with them. Due to his devotion to the Imperialist cause, Otto Estin was declared interim leader of the M.E.S until a proper election could be held.

### The Fall of the Republic and The Rise of the Empire (1983-2056)

When Otto Estin took control of the M.E.S in 1983, he officially made a statement denouncing the Republic, and swore on his life that by the end of the 1980s, the Republic would be no more. He reformed the Military into the Montergian Imperial Military, and began training for the imminent invasion of what was left of the Republic. This invasion would take place in 1987, with Republic forces declaring their unconditional surrender on the 28th of September, 1988.

After the invasion was over, Otto Estin declared the Republic dead in a speech from the balcony of the Presidential House in Estinia, letting loose the new banners of the Montergian Imperial State, or M.I.S, and decapitating the President of the Montergian Republic for all to see. He then went on to run for the position of the new leader of the M.I.S amongst his generals and won in a landslide victory, being crowned First Emperor of the Montergians.

He proceeded to repeal most of the Republics old laws and acts, including the State Protection Decree, and introduced an new government built up of the "Divisions", which acted like State departments. He then officially formed the Office of the Head of State, his honourable Emperor "Or her honourable Empress, depending on the current ruler", which drafted the Main laws of the Sword, a set of laws which carry a treason penalty if broken, which often result in life imprisonment or even Death for High treason.

In 2020, he announced the destruction of all power plants using Fossil Fuels, and also released plans for 4 large "Nuclear Super Stations" as they were called. One of these super stations, New St Davids, would be at the epicenter of one of the most notorious events in history, the First Anomaly.

In 2022, the Russian Federation would go on to invade the Country of Ukraine, leading to a global escalation in hostilities between the East and West, notably China and Russia formed the Second Warsaw Pact, while NATO introduced Finland and Sweden to the alliance. When questioned about their intentions in a UN Security Council meeting, the Six Nations Council representing the countries of Monteri stated that they would not take sides in this ever escalating conflict, and would remain neutral. This escalation finally resulted in World War III in 2024, in which the East and West had a Nuclear exchange and decimated each other. When the war was over,

In 2027, Power was handed over for the first time from the First Emperor to his son, Alphonse, beginning the long lineage of the Montergian Imperial Family. The First Emperor would die just a year later, in late 2028. A large funeral was planned and nearly 4 Million people lined the streets when his body was transported to its final resting place of the Estinia Imperial Cemetary (Where most Soldiers, sailors, pilots, divers, astronauts etc. are buried.)

In 2042, it would be revealed to the world that the Montergians had been working on a secret project with the other neighbouring countries to finally unite into one superpower, which was in violation of the Treaty of Estinia. This occurred in 2056, with the 6 Nations holding a vote within their respective regions asking their citizens if this is what they wanted and why they wanted it. Results returned an unexpected amount of Yes votes, with their reason stated as "hostile aggression from foreign powers", This was followed by the signing of a decree in which the Six Nations formed into one Superpower under the leadership of the Montergian Imperial State, and officially created the Montergian Empire.
