Early days of the Diarchy
On September 27th, 2021, the Kingdoms of Seaside and Baronov formed the nation of Seaside-Baronov, a diarchy ruled by both the Seaside and Baronovian monarchs. King North and King Jaxfon were originally close friends, and would often work together on all things politics, with both getting support from each other on decisions and the future of the nation. Despite this however, Seaside was struggling as recruitment was low, unlike Baronov, who was thriving as recruitment was high with ever growing political connections with neighbors and allies.

This would change however as St.Acol would take control of Seaside, and help build and foster a thriving society. However this was done with purely Seaside nationalism in mind, with strong connections to his religion. This would cause tensions between the nations to rise and break down, with the last straw being when St.Acol sold some islands and establishing a new nation without consulting the Baronovian king.

Seaside-Baronov Civil War
After relations broke down between both kingdoms, fearing that the diarchy may fall apart, Jaxfon proposed to the Seaside-Baronov's Strategic Intelligence Agency (SIA) that removing St.Acol and installing a new king may be an option to keep the S-B intact and to restore Seaside back to his dream and vision. The head of SIA at the time, Shwointshounburg, was entrusted in this operation which was named Operation Valkyrie. Over a week or so went into planning, and on January 24th, Jaxfon would make a declaration that St.Acol was removed of his Von Blarg status, and to no longer be considered a Von Blarg, with demands stating that he must give up power to Jaxfon until he can find an heir.

St.Acol refused, and made a campaign instating that Seaside would leave the union, declaring independence. Despite this being illegal within the S-B constitution, St.Acol admitted he never read the constitution in the first place despite signing it. The SIA would then share evidence and other intel with high ranking Seasiders like the heir ZMW7 and city architect and recruiter Nik907 to recruit them into the Operation. By January 26, all of Seaside's elites and active members were a part of the S-B. In able to counter this, St.Acol would make a poll asking if people should remove him, however he would later remove two people from the poll who voted against him because they weren't Seaside nationals. Later that day, Nik907 would be appointed the new king, where St.Acol supposedly would then steal 53 diamonds and gaslight and frame the king for damaging crops in able to ban him from the kingdom.

St.Acol however would dispute this claiming he was being set up given that Nik907 didn't make a ticket over the diamonds. With support of Aurora Novum, Solitudinem, Nova-Regna, Alamayn, OPTC, Zemlya, and Bardonia, as well as mercenaries from the Circus, the S-B would later go to war against St.Acol's army of mercenaries and Skjoldrbodir volunteers. Eleusis, a small nation made in St.Acol's illegally sold islands, would later declare neutrality.

St.Acol, was then dethroned after a costly battle where 49 on the Union side were killed and 0 on St.Acol's Side and would leave the S-B forever. According to Intelligence, St.Acol never paid anyone for the war, and Skjoldrbodir was involved due to Kolbeck Banking making a really bad loan. After the war, relations with the Skjoldrbodir hit an all time low, as their involvement was seen as a means of destabilizing and destroying the nation to seize power, despite AC0N claiming it was purely for money, which SIA disputes. Later a time of reconstruction was proclaimed.

Reconstruction
After the Civil War, Baronov was quite broke and reconstructing the nation would be hard without money so CaptainNorth370 tried to make sure the citizens of Seaside-Baronov know that they were not divided into groups of being Seasider of Baronovian but they were one under the same nation. This method somewhat worked on improving relations with both of the nations and recovering since during the war, Baronov was a bit battle torn with the city town and windows smashed while Seaside was devastated due to after the battle.

All of Seaside was unclaimed and Baronov had to try and reclaim it before they feared Acol would come back and reclaim it. But someone from Alamayn arrived and did the job for a fair price of reclaiming the island. However after this activity among Seaside had hit a severe decline as the city was practically burning. However in the coming months the city started to get back on its feet with the help of Baronov and Seaside-Baronov was back stronger and was invited by its allies to make an alliance. The North Eastern Rathnir Pact or NERP.

The NERP Alliance and the End of Seaside-Baronov
The North Eastern Rathnir Pact was actually being planned around 2 weeks before the S-B Civil War but the treaty that made the alliance officially took place on February 4th 2022. The nations who made it intended it to be somewhat of a meme with meme signatures but act it out as an official alliance and NERP did some things in the continent which was mostly protect everyone from outside invaders. Seaside-Baronov was happy with the alliance since it got protection while it worked on itself for a little while. Later the OPTC joined Seaside-Baronov after talks between Siam Man, the brand new leader of the O.P.T.C and North, King of Baronov. This bond forged the Empire of Seahaven

Government
The S-B consists of a Diarchy, with both kings from the Von Blarg and Norcician monarch being the official candidates for the kingship, as enforced by the constitution. As outlined, the Kings are overlooked by the General Assembly, made up of 3 members who head a department. Each department was made to play a crucial role in the development of the nation, but also to prevent overstepping of each kingdom's norms and values.
