Czervoslavia

Czevoslavia, officially the Czardom of Czervoslavia, is a nation founded by Ignati Korol in Plagos after his voyage from Nebskoslavia. It recently gained it's independence again after the fall of the First Plagatean Empire and soon joined the United Commonwealth. After the collapse of the UC, Czervoslavia declared its independence and joined the Sapphire Commonwealth as a fully fledged member nation. At the kingdom's territorial height, Czervoslavia controlled the islands of Ignatava, Duran, Svedia, Najer-Plagos Isthmus, as well as a collection of smaller islands between the Plagos and Nieden continents. Currently, Parker Jameson II is the King of Czervoslavia.

Settlement
After living at the Dead King's Tavern for a brief while, Ignati travelled East, as to establish a Kingdom. The name of the nation comes from the word "Czervni", meaning red, due to glitched red concrete powder found on one of the islands that were found. After the fall of Escharia, more Plagosian lands to the South were seised.

United Nations of Plagos
After the UNP's founding, Czervoslavia was made a member. Whilst Czervoslavia never requested to join, they accepted membership. During the troubles in Plagos caused due to mercenary armies, Czervoslavia remained a loyal state towards the UNP, and Lodomiera Korola was a loud advocate for the create of a Plagosian security council.

Afierosia dispute
During this period, a group of settlers from Nova Regna had created a town on one of the Czervoslav islands, which they named Afierosia. This caused a dispute, as the settlers had come there illegally, and without prior warning. After negotiations and an ultimatum and under threat of a UNP coalition led "operation whitewater", the settlers left the island.

Nova Plagetea
After the fall of the UNP, Czervoslavia left the United Commonwealth and joined the Nova Plagetea Federation.

United Kingdom of Plagatea
Czervoslavia was a state within the United kingdoms of Plagatea and it's successor the empire of Plagatea which fell after the resignation of Emperor Nero.

After the fall of the UKP
Some Plagatean states reunified into the realm of Asarakaen but Czervoslavia was not included in this rebranded unification due to cultural differences. Czervoslavia kept its independence and shortly after this the current Czervoslav Tsarinna Resigned. Leaving the Long country to his sucessor Parker Jameson II.

Flag Change
The Flag of the kingdom was changed.

The OPTC - Czervoslavian War (August 29 - September 14, 2021)
After Czervoslavia gained its independence as a Long, Fragile nation many other regional powers has turned their eyes upon its many strategic islands. One of these nations were the Osteri Plagosi Trading Company who were interested in the southern islands of Czervoslavia and the Najer-Plagosi strait. After a week of fighting in the streets of Duran and Svedia, the Czervoslavian government signed a peace treaty with The OPTC, giving them the southern portion of the kingdom as well as Svedia and Duran.

Plagatean Crisis (September 7 - October 3, 2021)
Towards the later half of the OPTC - Czervoslavian War, Parker Jameson II received a message from the new Tagavor of the Second Empire of Plagatea, Leon Olsen-Tanaka. As an ally with the UC at the time of war, Leon offered an enticing idea for how Czervoslavia could be preserved in whole against the OPTC onslaught; reunite with Plagatea as a province. The offer almost sounded too good to be true, which would soon be the case. Wanting to hold an in person meeting, Jameson II was invited to Plagatea for further discussions. During these talks, Jameson II brought up the legality of withdrawing from the UC. According to the UC Constitution, withdrawing from the union requires a majority vote by member nations. Leon promised that by announcing to the world that Czervoslavia leaving the UC for Plagatea now and worrying about the legality later would pressure the OPTC in an immediate ceasefire. This would not be the case. On the Plagatean side, there was a crisis. Leon's reign came from a coup from the former Empire of Plagatea, and the timing of the OPTC - Czervoslavian war would prove the be the first real test of Leon's leadership in the world stage as means to regain land lost in the balkanization of the former empire.

After the war, the United Commonwealth and Czervoslavia still stood. However for a time a dark cloud would hang over this corner of Plagos. Murmurs between UC and Plagatean officials about the legality of the secession continued in courts long after the war was over. On September 28, 2021, hoping to sway public opinion on the matters, Plagatean run cartographers issued maps that displayed Czervoslavia under Plagatean control. News of this was met with outcry from Czervoslavians and UC members alike as this was seen as an invasion of sovereignty. For the next week, tensions were high between the UC and the Second Empire of Plagatea. Talks continued, but risked collapsing into war at any moment. However, events stemming from political unrest within Plagatea would soon cause these talks to come to a sudden end.

On October 1, 2021, UC officials from the Krol family line were representing the UC and Czervoslvia in the talks when they were approached by Plagatean representatives wanting to remain secret. In these back door talks, it was revealed to the UC delegation that opinion of occupying Czervoslavia was unfavorable and it was only a select few higher ups that coveted the land. It was the opinion of most of the representatives that Czervoslavia deserves its sovereignty. Talks continued of instead building a bridge or dedicated shipping lanes to promote trade between Plagatea and Emirate of Najer (Both nations now in the Sapphire Commonwealth). These talks would be short lived as on October 3, 2021, the Second Empire of Plagatea faced civil unrest in what would be known as the Plagatèan Provincial Revolt. Overnight Plagatea renounced its claims over Czervoslavia in order to deal with the more immediate problem back home. At last, over a month after the OPTC - Czervoslavian War, Czervoslavia could focus on rebuilding.

Growth, Renewal, and Independence (October 3, 2021 - November 14, 2021)
After the Plagatean Crisis, Czervoslavia continued to rebuild after the war with the OPTC. During this time, streets were paved, sewers were dug, and a town hall was built. Other build projects included the Duranian Clock Tower that was erected on October 27, 2021 to honor the brave soles lost in the OPTC - Czervoslavian War, as well as apartment building to cover the need for a recent population boom in the nation.

Collapse of the United Commonwealth (November 14, 2021 - November 17, 2021)
Though Czervoslavia began to prosper, the United Commonwealth suffered from several setbacks. The first of which was establishing allies with neighboring countries. Though having a long history, the UC never truly became close with its neighbors. This can be attributed to Bardonia looming nearby. Bardonia had always been a major problem for the western member nations of Valmont and Gdnayc as before the collapse of Bardonia in the Allium-Coalition War, these nations were formerly occupied and owned by Bardonia, only seceding during the Bardonian Spring.

On November 7, 2021, the UC began the process to hold elections across the commonwealth. During this time, foreign actors sponsored by Plagatea exploited a loophole in UC election law where those who merely claim citizenship can run for office. The following elections were blatant with electoral fraud. Official results for elections run in Czervoslavia on behalf of the UC saw the official number of ballots casted over three times the number of registered voters. To make matters worse, Knightmare, a candidate running for a position in the UC, oversaw the election recount. Czar Parker Jameson II used his power as establish by the UC Constitution to throw out the results of election in order to prevent foreign citizens who never set foot in Czervoslavia to carry the majority in Czervoslavian Parliament. At this time, Jameson II saw a need for a change in UC leadership.

However, not even a week later a tipping point was reached. On November 14, 2021, the member nation of Greenstem (Formally Valmont) announced that it would secede from the United Commonwealth and join Bardonia. As a nation that made of half of the central core of the UC, the secession caused panic amongst the western portion of the UC. To make matters worse, Ignati Korol, Dinarch of the UC, reportedly died of a stroke upon hearing the news. With only Slout remaining as the leader and having little ability to quell the unrest, Czar Parker Jameson II would announce that Czervoslavia would declare it independence on November 16, 2021 at 1:42am CST. With Czervoslavia no longer remaining as the anchor of the UC, only Gdnayc and Zamoze remained.

As of November 17, 2021, Bardonia state sponsored newspapers reported that the ruling family of Gdnayc fled the kingdom, leaving Bardonia to send in troops to quell civil unrest brought on by the collapse, as well as claiming it to be under their control. Currently Gdnayc is disputed territory. Zamoze would remain as the sole remaining member of the UC, and with it a rebirth as the Independent Maritime Kingdom of Zamoze.

Independence (November 17, 2021 - Present Day)
Already acting as a mostly autonomous nation, Czervoslavia was hardly effected by the collapse of the UC. However, diplomats from the Sapphire Commonwealth soon arrived with talks of inviting Czervoslavia in as a full member. Receiving the backing of every member nation in record time, on November 17, 2021, Czervoslavia was admitted as a full member nation of the Sapphire Commonwealth.

During this time, an influx of immigration saw the downtown areas of the capital begin to grown outwards. Construction of a University commenced on the eastern edges of downtown. Among other things; a blacksmithery, shopping markets, a brewery, and apartment building were constructed. The later of which was completed with days as the influx of immigrants from across Rathnir creating a housing crisis. Although the problem lasted only for a few days, the effects are still felt as real estate prices for town houses make affordable housing a current need.

Reunification of Svedurian into Czervoslavia (December 25, 2021)
On Christmas Day, December 25, 2021, the OPTC and Czervoslavia brokered what would be known as the Czervoslavia - OPTC Christmas Pact which saw the two former enemies become deep allies. Amongst the agreement of a non-aggression pact, embassy construction, and a formal declaration of friendship, the OPTC surprised those at the peace summit with the agreement to cede Svedurain back into Czervoslavia control. Officially at 8pm on December 25, 2021, OPTC troops left their post for the last time and joined Czervoslavians in a Christmas Day feast at the town hall.

Prosperity and the Collapse of the Sapphire Commonwealth (December 26, 2021 - January 10, 2022)
With a reenergized population, both the capital and Svedurian saw major construction efforts. Both cities saw new shops opening up to serve the nearby population. Ignatava witnessed the opening of a shopping district and the breaking ground of a modern port on the southern side of the island that is expected to be completed sometime in March 2022.

On January 10, 2022, Prince Ludio arrived into Ignatava port with the news that Maestro ZenoHUN had announced that the Sapphire Commonwealth was no more. The news surprised many in Plagos as many saw the commonwealth to be a sign of peace and prosperity. The Czardom was surprised, but not unsettled as the that nation continues to hold close ties to all former Sapphire Commonwealth allies.

Today (January 11, 2022 - Today)
Today, Czervoslavia is focused on improving it's status as a proper trading hub at the crossroads of the continents of Plagos and Nieden. Shopping centers, harbors, and housing are the focus of Czervoslavian architects and engineers between both the city of Svedurian and the capital, Ignatava.

Type of Government
The Czardom of Czervoslavia is officially a Constitutional Monarchy. Though founded as a direct Monarchy, Parker Jameson II saw that effectivly and properly administrating the Czardom proved to become a more difficult task as Czervoslavia expanded. He saw fit for the Czardom to derive it's power from written law as opposed to the word of one man. Thus on November 19, 2021, the Basic Law for the Czardom of Czervoslavia, took effect.

One of the many things the Basic Law for the Czardom of Czervoslavia allow was the creation of Ministers, and extension of the Czar's governmental powers granted to Czervoslavians who are the best in their respective fields.
