Malucia

=Malucia=

Malucia was a small nation in Eldham, founded by the Players JustLucky_ and ___Matt___. Malucia was a militaristic nation with ambitious goals. Its capital was the city of Malucian.

Creation
The founders of Malucia, JustLucky_ and ___Matt___ had been close friends for some time, so when JustLucky_ told ___Matt___ about Rathnir, both were immediately hooked by the idea of creating their own nation. And so, on November 10, 2021 at 3pm they created Malucia. The founders were fascinated by the possibilities that stood before them and they immediately began planning to make Malucia a great and prospering nation. They agreed that ___Matt___ would serve as the Leader and JustLucky_ would be his equal and Supreme General for the Army. JustLucky_ had already proven himself in combat, being a former Imperial Guard of The Frosterium. ___Matt___ was completely new to the server, but he was confident in his abilities as a leader. Immediately on their first day, JustLucky_ showed his skills as an advertiser by recruiting 8 citizens into the nation in just 3 hours. ___Matt___ was not available for the next 3 Days, which put a lot of the responsibility on JustLucky_. The Malucian Flag was hastily drawn up by ___Matt___. although the flag's crest might not be the prettiest thing to look at, JustLucky_ and ___Matt___ both agreed to adopt it.

Exodus from Rathnir
Several weeks had passed since the nation's founding, and Malucian had grown into a fledgling city with tall stone walls and medieval-style architecture. But tensions were rising, as the city was found to have been built within the territorial claims of another nation. Talks were held for some time, but a peaceful solution could not be agreed upon, and the Malu people were forced to abandoned everything they had worked so hard to create. The government went through a period of confusion and disjointedness during their time in exile. There were attempts to settle a new city in Rathnir, but each one was refuted by nations that held claims to the land it would have been built on. Finding themselves unwelcome and hated in Rathnir, ___Matt___ and JustLucky_ made the difficult decision to migrate to the distant world of Eldham in pursuit of a new beginning. They picked a location to settle, and began again using salvaged supplies from Rathnir. The construction was initially slow, but as more and more Malus found their way to their new home it sprang up just as it had done the first time, and Malucian was resurrected as a testament to the sheer determination and perseverance of its citizens. A new flag was created as a symbol of the nation's new beginning, being adopted as the official flag by JustLucky_ in November of 2021.

Death
Late in the month of November, disaster struck the government of Malucia. Justlucky_ and Matt had left the Eldham for good, disbanded all former channels of communication and blocked every member of Malucia. This was the final nail in the coffin. In the confusion, CheeseCakeDude declared himself the new ruler and ordered everyone to leave behind what they had built. The people who followed him went into hiding and were never heard from again. Some people escaped to the nearby former colony of Ovania and started a new life there. Still others went away and formed a new settlement called Rannia, which is now a city of Valreach. Malucia's demise was caused mainly by mismanagement, poor diplomacy, and an ideology of independence at any cost.
