Nations 2 Political Timeline

## The World Before (Nations 1’s Death)

### -Late June 2020

The world came to an end. All parts of society flourished. Grand nations whether it was The American Syndicate, Britain or Islamic Caliphate, it all fell apart. Inhabitants perished. No more warfare, no more voyages, no more thriving countries. It was the end.

## The Big Bang (The Announcement of Nations 2)

### -Mid July 2020

With the end of Nations 1, life was brought back to the server by the announcement of Nations 2. This hyped up the fact that what was going to follow it would be amazing.

### -Late July 2020 - Late August 2020

It was the dawn of time. Soon, the inhabitants began to live and exist in groups. Inner rivalries and relations began to form between the groups. Plannings of forming great nations such as Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, Nordic Kingdom were occuring. These preparations sowed the seeds of what’s to come in the near future.

### -Late August 2020 - Early October 2020

Solid foundations were being made, colonies were being planned, spying techniques were being devised, enemies and alliances were being formed and much more was happening.

* The powerful Holy Roman Empire was planned to be led by Emperor HotShot. It was divided into various states, provinces and colonies led by their respective viceroys but all were united under the same banner.
* One of the states of the HRE was the Dutch Empire led by King Rice and Princess Wheeldeal. It was planned to be a separate nation of its own in the future but still remaining a close ally of the HRE.
* The colossal nation of Britain was planned to be led by King Divy007. Britain was divided into the mainland and its various protectorates, such as France led by Consul Torque and Spain led by a three-way leadership of King Neboogles, King 7ett and King Chckn.
* The Great Nation of USA was planned to be led by President Pine.
* The mighty Nordic Kingdom was planned to be led by King Skit and Prince Denki.
* The grand Kingdom of the Senegal was formed and to be led by it's Leader Thunder.

These plannings and devisings went on for months, until it all went into practice.

## The Globe (Release of Nations 2)

### -Late March 2021

A lot had changed in the last 5 months. The nation's earlier formed were divided/reformed while a wide range of new ones were formed.

* The Holy Roman Empire divided into three seperate nations which were a close ally to each other: The Kingdom of Tokugawa led by Emperor Hotshot and co-led by Shogun Oarack and The Teutonic Order led by the dual leadership of Nosreve and MrTurtleGamer.
* The Dutch Empire was still the same in the body, but it's geographical location had changed and it was no longer a part of the HRE but closely allied to their divided nations. It became the Kingdom of New Holland which is now located in Australia, still led by King Rice and co-led by WheelDeal.
* The Nordic kingdom was dissolved and Leader Skit went on to form his town in the Carribean. Denki went her seperate way and joined New Holland.
* Senegal subordinated of the same leader (Thunder) and members but now with a new name and location. It became the grand nation of Carthage (In North Africa and some parts of remaining Africa).
* Britain was quite the same as it was but with a major loss of power since the nation of Spain decided to no longer be a subordinate to Britain. The only remaining parts of Britain were the mainland and the towngroups of France.
* The powerful nation of Spain was seperated from Britain. It mostly remained unchanged with the leadership still being three-way of neboogles, chckn and 7ett.
* The nation of Repvbblica was formed and led by Leader neckpain.
* Another nation made by Nations 1 veterans sprang up in the middle-east of Africa, namely Shinseistan led by Leader Nuxyr.
* The great nation of Azeros was formed by the merging of the various minor nations present in/near South America, led by ryyby7.
* Japan consisted of quite a few subordinate nations, mainly consisting of Tokugawa and Shimazu Shogunate (Led by Shogun Vyros). Conflict was right on the doorstep of Japan.
* A new nation was formed spread across Saudi Arabia and some parts of India known as the Abbasid Caliphate.

### -Very late March - Early April 2021

Soon after the settlements formed, the days of peace were over.

#### The Unification War of Japan

##### - Siege of Ashikaga

Japan reeked of conflict and therefore there was the rise of the war for the Unification of Japan led by Oarack of Tokugawa. Tokugawa was going to lay siege to Shimazu's capital, Ashikaga. Tokugawa's geographically and politically close ally New Holland decided to also support them in the unification.

The war was one-sided. The Shimazu residents barely showed retaliation. The war ended with Vyros surrendering and Tokugawa becoming the Kingdom of Japan and Shimazu no longer holding a political position in Japan.

On the other side of the globe, the Leader of Azeros, ryyby7 was successfully couped and killed by Skit who therefore became the King of Azeros.

## The European Unrest

### -Early - Mid April 2021

Due to being clustered with contending nations, there was immediate conflict in the highly populated continent, Europe. There was heavy conflict around Europe and North Africa.

Before that, An old force of the early days of Nations 1 had returned, Wyvern had revived and come to the world stage. It was located in Western Russia

#### The First Great European War

##### -Sieges of Roma, Cairo and Norston

There was a widespread war between Carthage and Repvbblica. It began with Carthage sieging the capital of Repvbblica, Roma. Carthage was assisted by their allies Spain and Teutonic while Repvbblica was assisted by their ally Shinsei.

At the end of the siege, Carthage was about to win, but Teutonic intervened and took the side of Repvbblica since they felt the war was not fair for both sides. The siege therefore ended with the defenders of Roma winning.

The war continued when Shinsei sieged the town of Cairo (part of Carthage). The next day Carthage besieged the capital of Shinsei, Norston. Some battles and conflicts led to the siege of Cairo ending in the defenders winning while the siege of Norston also ending in the defenders winning.

The war mainly ended with both sides remaining with their own land.

#### The West Atlantic Naval Siege

During this period, there was also a naval battle at the West Atlantic Siege region between US, Britain and the Spanish for the capture of the Atlantic region.

The war consisted of a huge naval battle with US and Spanish having held the high ground in the siege.

However, the battle ended in the Siege region of West Atlantic being in possession of SoccerDoc55, resident of US

#### The Anglo-Spanish War

##### -Sieges of Zafra and London

This event of conflict was a widespread one which soon led to a worldwide war. The two warring forces were basically the alliances of Spain and Teutonic against Britain.

The war began with Britain laying siege to Zafra, a town in Spain. The Spanish were assisted by their close ally Teutonic Order. Britain being underpowered had resorted to getting assistance from a group of well trained warriors of a distant land (from another server). There was a gigantic battle during the siege of Zafra. It began with the British forces being untouchable (plugin glitch, which was later fixed).

Both sides of the war had almost equal influence on the inclination of the siege but the Spanish were facing slight troubles due to the well trained warriors but they held their ground at the end. The king of Britain, Divy, after planning the war and preparing their forces, retired as king and passed his kingship to Bonker.

The siege ended with the defenders of Zafra winning and retaining their territory.

In retaliation, The Spanish, Carthage and Nordic (a new nation located in Norway) laid siege to London, capital of Britain. There were a few major battles at the site of London as well where the tides seemed tied. But at the end, the defenders won and kept their territory.

Due to the warriors from the distant land leaving and no longer wanting to be a part of the whole war and the growing tension between Teutonic-Spain and Britain, Bonker, the new king decided to merge the nation of Britain with Teutonic Order. The residents of Britain were quite enraged at this decision but they decided to follow the king. Everyone thought that the landmass of Europe had now finally attained peace.

However, there soon arose a powerful force contending the land of Teutonic and soon after, the whole of Europe.

In Australia, New Holland now had merged with Zealandia (a nation in Newzealand) and some of its neighbouring towns to form the Oceanic Empire, still led by King Rice.

## The Era of Nordic Conquest

### -Mid - Late April 2021

In the US, the nation starts preparing roads for the easier supply of resources and accessibility between it's subordinate towns.

#### The First World War

##### -Sieges of Kiev, Vestfold, Zafra and Paris

A new force entered the arena, the nation of the Nordic Confederation took the stage by storm. Their residents were very well-trained warriors and gladiators, they would spend hours and hours without rest preparing and mass producing armour and weapons.

The British, seeing this as an opportunity for a comeback, left Teutonic and merged with the Nordics. The Nordics started their conquest by laying siege to the capital of Teutonic, Kiev out of surprise. During the start of the siege, Nordic held a high point and were winning. There were large scale battles with the Teutonic being helped by their ally Spain and a few members from Japan and Repvbblica.

Till the second day of the siege, the Teutonic were now winning. Soon, the Oceanic Empire troops arrived to give them more support. Together with it’s allies, Spain went ahead and sieged the Nordic capital, Vestfold to act as a distraction for the Nordics so that they could get siege points at Kiev.

At the end of the siege, the defenders won at Kiev as well as Vestfold. This was the end of the battle but the Nordics warned them that Spain would be attacked next, followed by the other allies of the Teutonic Order.

After a few days of preparation on both sides, the Nordics sieged Zafra. While in retaliation, the Spanish sieged Paris which was formerly in Britain and now in Nordic. On both battlefields, during the first day, the attackers seemed to be at the high point. At Zafra, the Nordics were being successful, while at Paris the tides seemed tied but were still in favor of the Nordics.

The siege at Spain ended with neboogles surrendering to the Nordic forces and Zafra getting occupied by the Nordic Confederation whereas France successfully defended their ground and the defenders won at Paris. With the capture of Spain's strongest fort, most of Spain was now occupied under the banner of the Nordic Confederation.

Soon a few of the nearby towns also joined the Nordics to have their place in what they thought was the strongest current nation on the server. The Nordic Confederation now began focusing on their plans to liberate the other nations of the server, beginning with Carthage.

It seemed to the endangered nations that such a large-scale threat could only be handled, together as one force.

### -Early May - Mid May 2021

##### -Siege of London

Before the Nordics could siege Carthage, the troops of Carthage and their allies laid siege to London as a distraction to provide them with more time to acquire resources. There were a few major battles at London as usual, and it ended with the Defenders of Nordic succeeding with pride.

The First World War was to continue in the future.

#### The Pacific Ship Skirmish

##### -Siege of Rorikstead

Beside the massive Nordic Confederation wars, there was a scene of a huge battle between the Oceanic Empire and the Shimazu Shogunate.

The skirmish began with Taziaq stealing a well-designed Cog from a town in Shimazu called Rorikstead. In retaliation, Rorikstead stole a corvette from a town of the Oceanic Empire. After a back-and-forth of ship piracy and terrain damage, the members of Oceania were enraged at the amount of damage done to them as compared to what they did to Rorikstead, while Rorikstead viewed it as fair revenge for provoking them.

Soon after, the Oceanic Empire sieged Rorikstead as revenge. They thought that since Rorikstead's members were lesser in number as well as power, they would be easy to defeat but little did they know about Rorikstead's allied forces. Rorikstead was helped by their nation members and their allied nations of the Abbasid Caliphate and the biggest threat to Oceania, Shinseistan.

The Oceanic members seemed out-numbered by a large amount and were on the lower ground at the beginning of the siege, though they had won a few of the battles they fought. At the end of the siege, the defenders won as the Oceanians thought that they had taken their payback with just the few attacks and laying siege to Rorikstead, regardless of who won and had shown less offensive intent.

After the end of the siege, the Rorikstead forces still hadn't had their goals fulfilled, so then they launched a naval cannon attack at the Peaceful towns of Catabe and Perth (Oceanic Empire), in which they managed to take down an Oceanic battleship.

#### CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

##### -Sieges of Tunis

With a few days of preparation on both sides, the Nordics laid siege to Tunis, the capital of Carthage.

The siege began with battles which proved that both sides had equal influence on the outcome of the battle with Carthage, of course, getting help from its allies Spain, Teutonic and Shinsei. By the middle of the siege the defenders had started to gain a vantage point, since they were in the points lead by a lot.

But soon arose a disturbance to the well-led defending by the warriors at Tunis. Tensions arose when Nuxyr had fired cannons at the battleground, while his allied warriors were down there fighting due to an event of miscommunication. The allied warriors, all though they didn't die but were wounded and angered at Nuxyr.

Nuxyr, along with a few Shinsei members were outraged by this blaming and decided to turn on the allied forces and tried to assassinate them. They however failed to kill them, and instead got killed themself in self defense from the Spanish warriors.

With this event helping them, the Nordic army forced the winning brigade to flee, and they managed to completely turn the tides of the siege. The siege ended by the Nordic Empire winning it and Carthage was now under its occupation.

A point to note that the Nordics won this siege without two of their key warriors PandaDivino and PandaIracondo, as they were not able to show up to the battle (they were banned)

### -Mid May 2021

#### Division of Shinseistan

After the Tunis siege, the nation of Shinsei was divided into two, the Pro-Nordics (Nuxyr, PotatoPenguin, Boris etc) and the Anti-Nordics (Boukirchin, Mario, Iownyi etc)

Soon, a vote was held to determine who will lead Shinseistan, Nuxyr or Boukirchin.

The vote resulted in the leadership of Shinsei falling to the hands of Boukirchin, while the Pro-Nordics went on to form a new, seperate nation, in East Russia, called the USSR.

#### Fall of the United States

The nation of the United States of America was proving to be inactive and soon it led to the fall of a once great nation.

The Yukaton Republic soon laid siege to Dreadmoor and other non peaceful towns of the US which soon led to it's demise.

#### CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

The occupied nation of Spain had now merged into the occupied nation of Carthage, to intimidate the occupying nation of the Nordic Empire.

Soon after, the nation of Abbasid Caliphate also merged with Carthage to add to the intimidation.

The merged nation was renamed to SCA Union.

#### The Revolt of Shimazu

##### -Revolt siege of Satsuma

With activity in Japan dying out, the long time occupied nation of Shimazu Shogunate had decided to raise the banner of revolt at their capital Satsuma.

The siege began with the Shimazu forces gaining a strong lead and acquiring a little assistance by their new ally, USSR. The very few Japanese warriors to show up to the battle were helplessly outnumbered as their allied nations were busy in conflicts of their own.

Being absolutely losing, the very few Japan fighters put down the white banner of surrender, and Shimazu had successfully achieved independence after a long time of occupation. Following this revolt, the Japan Empire now was renamed back to Tokugawa Shogunate.

This led to a few Tokugawa members returning to activity. It was now led by Emperor Cwbeard.

### -Mid May - Late May 2021

#### CONTINUATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

##### -Sieges of Vestfold, Paris, Kiev and Norston

(Note: the temporary anti-nordic alliance of Teutonic Order, Spain, Carthage, Oceanic Empire and Shinseistan is referred to as the Holy Roman Empire.)

With a long time of preparation and silence, almost everyone knew that it was the calm before the storm. Both sides were getting fed up of constant warfare between each other, and came to the decision of fighting one war for it all. A small spark in the form of anger, set the world ablaze.

The Teutonic Order sieged Vestfold and Paris to contend the power of the Nordic Empire while Zafra (capital of former Spain) raised the banner of revolt followed by Tunis (Capital of Carthage) which did the same.

Warriors from all around the world, whether it was former Japan members, Oceanic Empire, Shimazu, members of former Abbasid Caliphate or of course the numerous European nations, all planned to participate in this war.

The war began with the Holy Roman Empire taking the lead on all frontiers. The Nordic Empire was soon able to take the lead at their capital, Vestfold, but the revolting towns were being won by the defenders, while at Paris the tides seemed tied. Warriors traveled all around Europe fighting battles and gaining points all throughout the sieges. The Nordics being well-organized as always were, this time, facing difficulties. Even though, they were pridefully winning at Vestfold, the other sieges seemed out of their grasps.

On the second day of the siege, the Nordic Empire sieged Kiev (Capital of Teutonic) as well as Norston (Capital of Shinseistan) to cause a distraction for the Holy Roman Empire's forces to be scattered across Europe and Africa. Spain, Shinseistan and Teutonic were quite unorganized while attacking but were able to keep the Nordics mostly confined to their defensive sieges and away from Zafra and Tunis. The Oceanic Empire troops were defending Zafra and were well-organised and even forced the enemy to flee off of Paris a few times. Soon after, the Spanish and Oceanic battleships pulled up at Vestfold and did some explosive damage.

The Nordics lost most hope of winning the revolts. Soon, they were engaging with the HRE diplomats to come to some sort of a peace agreement. The Holy Roman Empire provided them with an option of ceasefire till they could decide on a peace treaty.

The Nordic Empire took a few hours to make the decision. Meanwhile, King Neboogles of Spain, took a ship with a large amount of explosives and did humongous damage to Paris, even though Turtle (the King of Teutonic) told them to maintain peace till they came to a decision on the ceasefire, leading to slight tensions in-between the Alliance itself.

Soon, the Nordics agreed to the ceasefire and half a day later, they signed a treaty to create temporary peace, which is as follows:

"Me, PandaIracondo, as ambassador of the Nordic Empire, I agree to sign a non-aggression pact with the mighty nations of Teutonic Empire, Shinseistan and Oceanic Empire. This agreement will last for 3 weeks starting from the 24/5/2021.

Best Regards,

PandaIracondo"

The nations of the SCA Union and Shimazu were not included in the treaty, but all warfare had calmed down.

With this treaty, The First World War came to an end and Europe had attained a balance of power and the temporary alliance of the Holy Roman Empire was broken.

This was the end of the Nordic Conquest Era.

## The Era of Mega Alliances

### -Late May-Early June 2021

After the First World War, numerous smaller nations began forming around the globe whilst the elder ones prospering as well.

* The Holy Fuldan Empire was formed by King Wrenthen located in North America.
* The Seljuk Empire was formed by King Mr.Salty located in Turkey.
* The Californian Khanganate was formed by Khan Eko, located in California (NorthWest America)
* Middle East formed by Leader ToughRisen located in the Middle East, of course.

These newer groups soon had skirmishes of their own.

#### Smaller Nations Collide

##### -Sieges of Talea, Izmir and Ankara

A group of Pirates led by WucrewYT were in constant fighting with a new Teutonic town known as Konigsberg located in East Europe.

The nation of Middle East laid siege to three towns of the Seljuk Empire and led to combat between the two forces. The skirmish ended with Middle East losing and abandoning the sieges on the Seljuks.

### -Early June - Mid June 2021

#### Pacific Naval Skirmish

Meanwhile in the Pacific siege region, Tokugawan and Oceanic navies collided to fight for the ownership of the Pacific siege region. Earlier, these nations were allied but tensions grew as they fought for the siege region. Carthage, part of the SCA Union, supported the Tokugawans as the rightful owners of the siege region.

Leader of Carthage, Thunder along with co leader Cowdude, killed a member of the Oceanic Empire in Australia while they were in the Pacific to aid Tokugawa which further increased tensions between Carthage and Oceanic Empire.

#### Seljuk Empire Takeover

The nation of Seljuk Empire started having internal tensions when Precise820 successfully took over the nation’s leadership by killing Mr\_KingSalty in a coup. This led to the nation dividing into two - Rum Seljuk Sultanate formed by Mr\_KingSalty, and the original Seljuk Empire being renamed to Turkish Seperatists led by Precise.

Constant fighting between the two followed which resulted in the loyalists fleeing to America where they were rehabilitated.

#### Pan North American Treaty and North American Invasion

##### -Sieges of Khan Sav Gazar and Santa Clara

With the continent of North America being contested by three nations, namely Californian Khanganate, Yukaton Republic and the Holy Fuldan Empire, the nations decided to peacefully mark their territories on the continent and signed the Pan North American treaty which included a defensive pact in case the continent was to be invaded.

Following the treaty, the Turkish Seperatists under Leader Precise, moved to Cuba which was followed by tension between it and the nations in North America. After some clashes, the Californian Khanganate decided to siege the capital of Cuba, Santa Clara while Cuba sieged the Californian capital, Khan Sav Gazar.

Initially the Khanganate was winning, but once Cuba got support from warriors from Europe, they won the sieges. This was succeeded by the disbanding of the Khanganate and them relocating to Asia.

#### Tensions brew between former allies

After the first world war, Nordic Empire decided to take a step back and tensions started brewing between the formerly allied nations of SCA Union and Teutonic Order & Oceanic Empire. The former two nations (SCA and Teutonic) had a number of minor skirmishes and blamed each other for provoking the fights.

Somewhere in the midst of this, the core Abbasid towns of SCA broke off and joined Teutonic Order which was a close ally of Shinseistan and Oceanic Empire, and so the three-way alliance came to be known as STO. Following this, SCA and STO fought for the ownership of the siege regions of West Atlantic and Bab Al Mandab, both of which ended in SCA losing. The conflicts continued, which led to both nations knowing that a huge war was on their doorsteps.

#### Shimazu Pirate Conflict

##### -Siege of Satsuma

In the midst of this, the Roman Empire (S3xyBerry, S3xyTeo and TheRedKnight) moved to Asia and formed the nation of Phillipines and laid siege to Japan.

They lost the siege but were able to secure a good amount of loot from the Japanese. Following the siege, the roman pirates went back to their original location and made the nation SPQR and  became allies with Teutonic Order.

#### The Second World War

##### -Revolt of Madrid

As the tensions between SCA and STO grew, war was imminent. Rumours spread that SCA was going to attack Kiev very soon, and so it did. Their base of operations was prepared a few hours before the start of the siege.

The siege started and saw a full scale attack from the SCA Union and a fierce defense from Teutonic and its allies. The defending siege even got support from core members of the Nordic Empire (due to a SCA member killing a Nordic member, thus damaging the neutrality of the Nordics). After 3 days of intense combat, the defenders won the siege by an astounding lead of 150k points.

Alongside the Kiev siege, the towns of Kabul (Teutonic), Cairo (Shinsei), Paris (Nordic Empire) were also sieged by the SCA Union while the town of Battah (SCA) was sieged by SPQR/Teutonic. The town of Madrid (SCA) also revolted against the Nordic occupation.

All sieges ended with the win of the anti-SCA coalition. After being outnumbered the members of the SCA Union were forced to disband the nation soon after and reform their original nations. Following this, Carthage relocated to the Americas and rebranded to Aztec Syndicate while the Indian part of SCA formed a new nation, the Mughal Empire.

This was seen by most as the end of the Second World War, but the conflicts between SCA and STO were to continue soon.

### -Late June 2021

#### End of Azeros

After a long period of inactivity under the leadership of rybby7, followed by Skit, then Lordsrubka and finally DrakeTatsu, the nation of Azeros was disbanded by Drake. It’s active remnants joined either the Yukaton Republic or the Aztec Syndicate.

#### Middle East Invasion

##### -Siege of Lebanon

Once the romans of SPQR moved back to Europe, they soon launched attacks of their own on the middle eastern nation led by Toughrisen. The nation of Middle East, shortly after being renamed to Blue Lotus, was sieged by SPQR at it’s capital Lebanon, and was put under the occupation of the nation.

In the midst of the siege, Iownyi of Shinseistan was taking a large amount of gear from Kiev to Norston. In the middle of his journey, his zeppelin passed by the siege but was intercepted by TheRedKnight of SPQR and was hijacked. This resulted in Shinseistan and SPQR becoming enemies.

#### World War 2 Rages On

##### -Siege of Norston, New Dakar and Cairo

After a week and a half of dormancy by both STO and remnants of SCA, the new enemy of Shinseistan, SPQR decided to siege it’s capital Norston. The attacking romans were supported by Aztec Syndicate (formerly Carthage) and Spain while the defending Shinseistanians were assisted by their close allies Teutonic Order and Oceanic Empire. The Nordic Empire was also part of the siege, they helped both sides equally for the first two days of the siege then returned to neutrality around the third siege day.

Initially, the siege was dominated by the attackers and they were winning, but after the first day, the defenders were able to gather their allies and pull the siege in their favour.

After long and raging battles, the siege ended with a defender win however Norston lost a lot of their valuable resources due to the attackers bombing their bunker.

Alongside this, Shinseistan laid siege to the capital of SPQR, New Dakar and successfully put it under occupation. After their loss at Norston and their capital, the romans laid siege to Cairo, which was shortly followed by a surrender by the town mayor Creyna, to prevent it from being heavily bombed.

### -Early July 2021

#### Pacific Council Formation

While the World War went on in the west, the nations of the East formed the Pacific Council to maintain the peace in Asia and resolve conflicts between the asian nations peacefully. The nations it comprised of were Oceanic Empire, Tokugawa Shogunate, Shimazu Shogunate and Mughal Empire (now renamed to India).

#### American Unification War

##### -Sieges of San Mocisco and Merida

After moving to the Americas, Aztec Syndicate looked to enter the political landscape of the continent and wished to unify it under it’s banner. Soon, the Aztec Syndicate sieged the capital of the Holy Fuldan Empire, San Mocisco followed by a siege on the capital of Yukaton Republic, Merida.

The attackers attain quick successes at both sieges and deal some heavy damage to the town of Merida who, even with the support of Teutonic and Shinseistani forces, faced defeat due to naval inferiority and lack of warfare resources.

#### Japanese Unification

The former rival nations of Tokugawa Shogunate and Shimazu Shogunate after fighting two civil wars in their history decided to set aside their differences and merge. The new nation formed was renamed to Yamato Shogunate led by Shogun Cwbeard.

#### Formation of Nations

The Holy Roman Empire was formed in Germany with the town of Konigsberg as its capital after it seceded from the Teutonic Order and accused the Teutonic leaders of not assisting them in battles and signing deals with the enemies against Konigsberg while Teutonic denied these claims. The nations continued to face tensions with each other.

* The Argentine Empire was formed in South America by AstrapDank with it’s capital as Malos Aires.
* The Ming Dynasty was formed by Solkenshi after secession from Yamato. It’s capital is Hong Kong.
* Another group of towns left the Yamato Shogunate and formed the Kamakura Shogunate, with it’s capital as Iwami.
* Legio X Orientem was formed by the former members of the Californian Khanganate after they moved to Asia. It’s capital is Mongolia.
* Soon after their defeat against the attack by the Aztecs, the Yukaton Republic disbanded and their members quit the server.

### -Mid July - Late July 2021

#### CONTINUATION OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

##### -Sieges of Norston and Bari

After their former loss at Norston, the ex-SCA members and romans of SPQR laid siege to Norston again a week after. Simultaneously, the capital of Spain, Zafra was sieged by Shinsei as retaliation by the STO alliance. After intense fighting at Norston, the defenders won, while at Zafra, since the siege was at an unprotected outpost of the town, Spain surrendered to Shinseistan.

Soon after, Shinsei launched a suppression siege on Bari (formerly New Dakar) which they won after some fighting

After realisation that neither side was getting anywhere with the constant warfare, the world war came to an anti-climatic end and so did the Mega alliance Era.

## The Era of Regional Conflicts

#### HRE-Teutonic Domestic War

##### -Siege of Warsaw

The Holy Roman Empire, after seceeding from Teutonic was under Shinseistan’s occupation. Hence, it decided to raise the banner of revolt at it’s fort, Warsaw. The Holy Romans faced the combat-experienced Shinsei-Teutonic forces but themselves retaining movecraft superiority.

After long and fierce battles, even at the last few hours of the siege, it was hard to tell who would come out on top as the winner. The siege ended with the HRE forces winning and securing their freedom. The interference of the siege by Teutonic led to the tensions between HRE and Teutonic Order increasing further.

After some time, Teutonic Order’s leader Turtle retired from the leader role and Teutonic became a dormant and inactive nation, for now.

#### Soviet Union Asia Invasion

##### -Sieges of Matsumoto, Mongolia, Satsuma and Beijing

A new nation was formed in Russia, known as the Soviet Union led by thorken33. The nation was focused at starting conflicts in Asia and giving the peaceful continent some warfare.

The nation started by attacking the Yamato fort Matsumoto where it held it’s ground and was initially winning. The shogunate was however helped by Kamakura Shogunate and it’s other allies and was able to defeat the attacking Soviets.

The Soviet Union then went on to attack a weaker nation and sieged Mongolia, the capital of Legio X Orientem. The Legion was helped by some members of Oceanic Empire while the attacking side was helped by India and Yamato. The defenders, however, were able to defend their own and the siege ended with their victory. Following the end of the siege, the members of Legio X Orientem soon quit the server.

After two losses, the Soviets decided to try their odds at Japan again and a town in China, and attacked the towns of Satsuma and Beijing. Some soldiers from OE and some from the Pacific Council came ahead to try to defend Beijing, but they realised that the town itself was inactive and their attempt to win a siege at it was futile.

### -Early August 2021

#### Dissolution of the Pacific Council

During the blitz of sieges by the Soviet Union, player mrXPeti of Ming Dynasty joined the Soviet side to help it attack against Yamato. Thus, the leader of Ming, Solkenshi was told to not let Peti join the nation back. However, upon Solkenshi’s refusal, Ming was removed from the Council.

This was followed by Oceanic Empire also leaving the Council who claimed the Council was comprised of Aztec puppets. The Pacific Council was soon dissolved.

#### CONTINUATION OF THE HRE-TEUTONIC DOMESTIC WAR

##### -Sieges of Kiev and Warsaw

Seeing the dormancy of the Teutonic Order as an opportunity to strike down the nation and occupy it, the joint forces of HRE and Aztec Syndicate laid siege to Kiev. This resulted in Teutonic coming back to defend it’s territory and together with it’s allies it worked to face off against the large infantry of the attackers.

The attackers gathered a high number of players to help them win and held the high point at the first day of the siege, but once the defenders got themselves and their allies mobilized, the tides looked to be tied on the second day. After much fighting, the siege ended with defender victory.

A few days after the Kiev siege, Shinseistan laid siege to Warsaw in hopes of occupying it again and taking revenge for the attack on Kiev. The HRE used a lot of their military vehicles at Kiev and were running short of them. A military town of Shinseistan, Sevastopol had defected and joined HRE and was helping them with it’s arsenal of tanks and trucks.

This resulted in the battle going to the defender’s favour, however on the second day of the siege, the Shinseistan and Teutonic pilots were able to use their cannons and tanks to blow into the bunker of the fort and destroy their resources which forced the HRE to surrender the siege.

##### -Siege of Orleans

After a long time of being dormant, the Nordic Empire laid siege to the town of Orleans of the nation Francia, as it was very close to it’s territory.

The defenders were helped by Shinseistani and Holy Roman warriors while the Nordics were aided by Teutonics, Romans and some Oceanians. The siege saw many battles and clashes but at the end, the defenders placed the banner of surrender and the Nordics solidified their grip on West Europe.

### -Mid August - Late August 2021

#### Third Japanese Unification

The nations of Yamato Shogunate and Kamakura Shogunate, after having differences between themselves for a while, realised that if they banded together, they’d be much of a force to be reckoned with and could defend their homeland better.

Hence the two nations decided to merge and the merged nation was renamed to Japan.

#### The Japanese-Indonesian Regional War

##### -Siege of Newkarta

After much inactivity in Asia, a new nation was formed by a group of players by the name of Indonesia. The Japanese after their recent merge, were looking to participate in warfare with their military. The indonesians and japanese had skirmishes around their towns for a few days which led to the Japanese sieging the Indonesian capital, Newkarta.

The nation of Japan was inactive prior to this siege, but the war saw a large amount of players online from the Japanese side. The nation of Indonesia was helped by warriors from the Oceanic Empire but they failed to win. The Japanese warriors lost a lot of lives, but ended up victorious in their first military operation after a long time. Following the siege, the nation of Malaysia was created after seceding from Japan on good terms.

#### Second American Unification

Since the Aztecs arrived in the Americas, they had been allies with the nation of Argentine Empire and the nations shared common goals and interests. Hence, they decided to merge and the new nation was called American Syndicate, which had the most members in the server at the time, due to the merge.

## The Era of Italian Conquest

### -Early September 2021

##### -Siege of Wallachia

The Roman Empire after recruiting a group of italian players from N1, decided to siege the the Romanian town of Wallachia. The romanians were aided by Shinseistan and Thracia and were successfully able to hold off the attackers and defend Wallachia. The siege saw some on ground and aerial fights and both sides had several casualities.

#### First Nordic-American War

##### -Siege of Paris

After returning to activity, the Nordic Empire sought to capture the naval siege regions of West Atlantic and East Atlantic. They had heavy clashes with the American navy at both regions. Both sides fought fiercely and managed to take down multiple crafts of the opposite side at the naval conflicts.

Following the naval conflicts, the American Syndicate decided to prepare a siege base south of the Nordic fort of Paris and sieged it a few hours later. This siege fully mobilized the inactive Nordic forces and brought the warlord nation back to the global stage. The siege saw high amounts of continuous fighting, in the form of both on-ground and artillery/naval combat and both sides gave it their all.

The attackers were assisted by the nations of Shinseistan and Teutonic Order whereas the defenders were assisted by the Republic of Pyrene.

Along the first day, the attackers seemed to be winning, but it wasn’t long until the defenders were able to take the lead into their favour and the siege ended with their victory.

#### Tensions in Asia

##### -Sieges of Shanghai and Tahiti

Following the Japanese-Indonesian war, soon the Oceanic Empire went inactive and Japan and Malaysia wished to solidify their grip over Asia. Japan attacked the town of Shanghai, a city in Turkestan and won the siege with ease.

This siege was followed by an assault by Malaysia on the town of Tahiti, which was an infamous town known for major ship piracy in Asia. After some combat and destructing some of their ships, the Malaysian warriors won the siege leading to Asia being dominated by the Japanese-Malaysian alliance while a dormant OE lived in peace in Australia.

### -Mid-Late September 2021

#### Revolution against Shinseistan

##### -Revolts of Tortuga, Oasus and Warsaw

After the unban of the notorious N1 player, xITAxGege147, him and his comrades wished to create a nation, which, who knew, was going to bring a storm all across Europe very soon.

They made the town of Tortuga and created the nation Italian Empire, which was under the occupation of Shinseistan. Wishing to achieve freedom, Tortuga raised the banner of revolt against its occupiers. Seeing this as an opportunity of a mass-revolt, the towns of Oasus (formerly Lebanon, capital of Blue Lotus) and Warsaw (fort of HRE) followed suit and revolted against Shinseistani occupation.

At Tortuga, the rebels won by a landslide and secured their freedom.

At Blue Lotus, after minor fighting, the rebels also secured their emancipation.

At Warsaw, with assists from Roman Empire, Italian Empire and Nordic Empire, the revolutionaries won

In the blink of an eye, Shinseistan lost it’s hold over Europe and unleashed the biggest warmongers in the server till date.

#### Italian Conquest Begins

##### -Siege of Bari

Upon acquiring their freedom, the Italian Empire set it’s eyes to begin conquests across Europe with the help of their close ally Nordic Empire. They started by sieging the capital of a former ally of theirs, Bari (Roman Empire) and a few other minor european towns.

After major fights and bombings around the town of Bari, the Italian Empire’s attempt to occupy the Romans was thwarted by Rome’s allies, American Syndicate, Thracia and Shinseistan whereas the attackers won at the other minor sieges.

##### Merges and Formations of Nations

The nation of Greater Romania, after fighting alongside Thracia on multiple instances, understood that they had similar interests and Romania lacked militarily. Thus, they decided to merge into Thracia.

Meanwhile, the active remnants of OE, after OE became dormant, created the nation of Belkan Empire located in Germany, with it’s capital as Jena.

#### The Second Great European War

##### -Sieges of Trapezica and Wallachia

Following the merge, the Italian Empire after their loss at Bari, set their eyes on the Thracian capital of Trapezica and laid siege to it. Meanwhile the Nordics, due to their former tensions with Romania (now merged into Thracia) decided to siege the Thracian town of Wallachia. The siege of Trapezica became one of the biggest and highly-diverse sieges till now.

The defending nation was assisted by the full forces of various nations ranging from Belkan Empire, Teutonic Order, Shinseistan to Oceanic Empire, Roman Empire and American Syndicate. Meanwhile the attackers were just the nations of Nordic Empire and Italian Empire.

The siege saw incredible amounts of destruction and combat, and both sides held their own. For the first 2 days, the result of the sieges was unpredictable, but by the third day the defending towns with support from many nations, were able to defeat the invaders and live to fight another day.

##### -Siege of Tortuga

In the midst of the Thracian sieges, the Roman Empire sieged the capital of the Italian Empire to occupy it and stop the constant warfare. After intense fighting at the siege with countless combatants from both sides giving it their all, the attackers managed to defeat the Italian Empire and stop the mindless assaults being done by them..for now.

### -Early-Mid October 2021

##### -Revolt of Tortuga

A week after being invaded and put under occupation by the powerful forces of the Anti-Italian Coalition, the Italian Empire revolted at their capital with hopes of securing their freedom and taking revenge for the damage done to them in the last siege.

To their surprise, there was absolutely no combat at Tortuga as the occupiers were caught unprepared and decided not to show up at the siege. The revolutionaries won without breaking a sweat and looked forward to continuing their attacks in Europe.

Somewhere in the midst of this, the nation of Egypt whose capital was the fort of Cairo, decided to merge into the Italian Empire.

#### Nordic Naval Skirmishes

After a long time of silent, combat-less ownership switching of the siege regions, a major naval clash was projected at the Suez siege region. The Italian defenders assisted by a Nordic dreadnought faced heavy competition from an attacking Roman fleet.

With the casualties of two fighters and one submarine, the Nordic-Italian forces were defeated and the siege region was now under the control of the Roman Empire.

A few days after the defeat at Suez, the Iceland part of the Nordic Empire seceeded from the Empire out of nowhere and a naval ambush took place where a Nordic dreadnought and aircraft carrier was destroyed. They formed their own nation shortly after.

#### Italian Rampage Continues

##### -Siege of Bari

Following their freedom, the Italians continued their assaults by sieging an unguarded outpost of Bari located north-east of Suez. The siege saw an unprepared defense from the Roman, Belkan, Thracian and Teutonic forces while the attacking Italians where supported by the Nordics.

After much fighting and fierce combat, the siege ended with an Italian victory which resulted in a large part of the Roman Empire being occupied.

#### Nordic-American Peace Treaty & Return of Oceanic Empire

The American and Nordic nations, after having a history of political tension and clashes back and forth, decided to put aside their differences and sign a peace treaty, which stated that neither nation will have direct conflict with the other, in any form. They divided the siege regions among themselves as part of the treaty’s terms.

Alongside the European affairs, back in the Eastern Hemisphere, after months of being dormant, the Oceanic Empire decided to make a return to the geopolitical scene with a change in leadership. The former leaders, ShootingRice and Wheeldeal took a back seat while Perpltxed and Hydrx (Heudreu) took over the mantle.

This could lead to further tensions in Asia, considering Japan and Greater India had been expanding a lot after Oceanic Empire took a step back.

#### The Third World War

##### -Siege of Germania and Kalmar

After the Italian chain of attacks and Nordic skirmishes around Europe, the political scene completely changed when the Belkan Empire sieged the Holy Roman town of Germania. The Belkan leaders mentioned that they had no ill intentions towards the Holy Roman Empire, however one of their towns was in their territory, which is why they attacked it.

For the first time since their alliance, the Nordic and the Belkan Empire were fighting side-by-side. They were also assited by the Oceanic Empire. Meanwhile the defending Holy Roman forces were assisted by Thracia, Shinseistan, Hellenic Empire, parts of Teutonic Order, United Iceland and Roman Empire. Although the Belkan Empire helped these nations in their sieges, they still went against it in the siege.

The first day of the siege ended with the attackers winning with the defenders showing great competition. By the second day, the defenders were able to gather their allies and outnumber the attackers. They got the lead back in their favour while the attackers faced many losses and had to resurge.

While the Roman and Holy Romans were busy at Germania, the Italian empire laid siege to the remaining fort town of the Roman Empire, Kalmar. They secured a quick and high lead there with bare minimum competition from the defenders.

Around the end of the second day, the Italian Empire, with a guaranteed win at their siege, showed intent to help the Belkan Empire at Germania as they had common enemies and wished to build an alliance. The Italian forces helped the attackers tremendously and turned the tides, while the Belkan and Nordic forces gave it their all as well. The siege overall saw incredibly intense battles and clashes, with countless deaths on either side.

With an hour left in the siege, the attackers had a decent enough lead which the defenders were unable to chase. Before the siege could end, the defenders deleted the town and the Belkan forces ended up victorious.

This siege created the sides of the third world war, which, who knew, would last till the end of the year.

##### -Siege of New Cairo and St. Karlstad

Following their loss at Germania and Kalmar, the Coalition led by Thracia laid siege to New Cairo, the second fort of the Italian Empire. The first day of the siege saw a fairshare of combat but a quick lead by the defenders which went higher and higher the next two days. Attackers suffered heavy losses.

Alongside this, the Italian Empire sieged the last remaining fort of the Romans, St.Karlstad. The first and second day of the siege ended with a decently large lead in the favour of the invaders with minor fighting.

Both sieges ended with a victory for the Italians, and now with the last Roman fort under Italian occupation, the entire nation of  the Roman Empire was now under the Italian banner.
