## **National History**

### **Founding and Reign of Vlastimir I Vlastimirovic**

On October 27th 2020, King Casimir I of Poland invited his friend to join him on Eurocraft. A day later on the 28th, ThatHetmanBoi joined and decided to establish the Serbian Empire. Belgrade was created and with the help of the Poles, many rebellious Croats, Bosnians, Macedonians, Albanians, Slovenians, Montenegrins, and even Greeks were repelled from seizing the newly-founded capital city of Belgrade. On October 30th 2020, Serbia created a provincial system to compensate for its growing population. Many settlers moved to the Southern Croatian Coast and created the City of Ragusa, which lead to King Vlastimir I creating the Province of Ragusa on October 31, 2020. Under Vlastimir I, the Serbian Empire saw the annexation of Eastern Venice (now Venecija). Originally, all of Venice was supposed to be under Serbian rule, but tensions between Ibiza and Serbia prevented it. Norway, being the middle ground, suggested a split of the nation, but tensions did always arise between the two. Vlastimir I further expanded Southwards and conquered the rest of it, establishing new cities to be built. Radar was built up, establishing the third Serbian city to be constructed. Soon, as the days drew near, Vlastimir continued to build up the Serbian Empire and eventually linked the two closests cities together with Serbia, but when the road was finished, Vlastimir I passed away on November 25th, 2020, leaving his son, Konstantine I Vlastimirovic to take the throne.
