Holy Kingdom of Gertonia

**The Holy Kingdom of Gertonia** started off as a small group of people known as the "Teutonic Knights". This group would go on to occupy a small space of the now dissolved nation of Alamayn near it's north-eastern borders. A few days after its creation on the 30th of August 2021, it would disband, and its members alongside their leader TheKaiserJeremy would go on to migrate south, and start the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia from what remained of the Silver Coalition.

The kingdom claimed its first chunks of land in the ocean formerly owned by Alamayn. With promises of power and mass expansion, King Kaiser Jeremy led his few followers to create the capitol city of Ritterberg, and expand the nation into what it is today.

## Culture

*Main Page: (In Works)*

The Holy Kingdom of Gertonia's culture focuses primarily on military, although mining and fishing are still prevalent within the nation. The economy of the nation is held up by the fishing and mining industries. This is due to the density of valuable ore's and minerals beneath the oceans bottom, and the obvious amounts of water surrounding the land.

Due to the hardships of creating a nation in the ocean, the people of Gertonia developed close bounds through the sweat and tears of laying down what seemed like endless amounts of brick during the construction of Ritterberg. This combined with their trust and admiration in their king, the people of this holy kingdom march towards their bright future of becoming a major nation.

## Joining the Sapphire Commonwealth

After negotiations with the nation leaders within the Sapphire Commonwealth, the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia joined the commonwealth, and stood alongside the five other member states. The goal of the Sapphire Commonwealth is to unify the north, and with Gertonia being a smaller and developing nation, the opportunity to have other major nations protecting them from bandits and the like was too good to pass up. And thus, with promises of uniting the northern nations, mutual trade and protection, and equal political representation within the commonwealth despite size, the Holy Kingdom of Gertonia joined the Sapphire Commonwealth.

* **Teutonic Knights**
* **Holy Kingdom of Knights**
* **Holy Kingdom of Gertonia**

The Holy Kingdom of Gertonia officially gained its independence from Alamayn on September 15th, 2021. The nation was put on the map during the same time.

On November 15th 2021, Gertonian civilian Xyster\_ was accused of using xray. Because of this, the admins rolled back the mined ores he supposedly took, but in this process, it also rolled back the chunks that Ritterberg was on, which caused the buildings and map art that were once there to reappear in some form. The items that belonged to Gertonia also disappeared completely, making the nation lose large amounts of wealth. As of now, admins are attempting to fix the situation, while King Kaiser Jeremy is attempting to get the lost items back.
