United States of Arsine

"The Spirit of Man has awakened - herein lay the central meaning to our nation. We are all inhabitants of this world, grant us this simple knowledge. If our brothers are oppressed, then we are oppressed. If they hunger, we hunger. If their freedom is taken away, our freedom is not secure. Grant us this knowledge that all shall know bread and peace, justice and righteousness, freedom and security and an equal opportunity and an equal chance to do his best in life, not only in our own lands but throughout the world. And in that let us march towards a clean world in which our hands can make, together as one nation. Where all may live in freedom, reaping the just reward of their honest toil. We shall be that land of opportunity, a land where those who have lost all may one day start again.""-President Ancap_"

First Aeternian Republic
Founded on 7/14/2021, the Aeternian Republic was formed at its core with a Senate, composed of the wealthy and influential people in the local region. It was during this time that a great revolt took place in the East of Arsine against Bjancia where multiple cities broke off - one of them being Aeterna. In it's long history it faced constant threats both internally and externally from multiple large squatter incursions, to internal insurrection and near-civil wars. The Republic slowly decayed within as internal factions split apart and the cities of the Republic split off, all while the Republics institutions faltered and became open to dictatorship. It was said that only an Aeternian could destory Aeternia, and so it happened.

Foundation of the Second Aeternian Republic
Unification did not come easy, however former rivals and cities came together months after the dissolution of the first Republic, still nostalgic to the feeling. The Emperor had resigned his post and had restarted the Republic, bringing in with agreement the other towns which had become independent. New elections were held and the Republic was once again on the rise as the Senate worked together to solve the issues that plagued the old Republic. Not even two weeks into this rebirth however came an incursion from two foreign Rathnir nations which brought the new fledgling government to its knees. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Senate and Consuls turned to Einberg, a local friend for support, only through unification could the Republic survive - and so it did for while - the squatter situation was resolved through the threat of a unified front of the members of Einberg and the former Aeternians and thus once again the crisis came to pass.

Yearning for Democracy
Though both the members of Einberg became and remain good friends, the remaining Aeternians - an ever diminishing group - sought to once again have its own free government with elections, which would allow Einberg to return to its monarchy. The lands which comprised old Aeternia were let free as a vassal of Einberg, to once again choose its government and its own path, and to rebuild itself from the ashes.
