Medena

Medena is located in the southern regions of Eldham on the continent of Onthukhan. It has a varied history. It went from a democratic republic to a monarchist province of the Razuni Sultanate to become the Irisnian Kingdom after declaring indipandence from the sultanate and later to become a hold of the Pale.

The Founding
Medena was first mentioned in the Treaty of Kingsburg of the Luwen-Alexandria War. The Prime-Minister of Bjancia Luis Von de Hotin signed papers which recognized the Republic of Medena. John Ian, the first Consul of Medena, start recruiting, so MemeRuler and Nezure joined as the Second Consul and Third Consul. Omega Wolf and White Sheep also joined the Republic as the last founding fathers.

After Ian announced that he was going to be inactive, Meme, Wolf and Sheep started construction in the inactive Bell Nation. The construction of Maldequem started.

Myckul
When Sheep was observing the inactive city of Authem Bell, which was in the center of their claimed land, Sheep met a wanderer called Myckul, he joined the nation on the same day and would become known as the Road Builder of Medena. There was also a statue of him built in Maldeqem.

The First Election
During the first elections, the DRP, MLP, LIP, and the Monarchist Party of Medena were running against each other. After Silver retreated from the elections, the MSDP, a coalition of the three other Parties won the elections and IcyGamer become the first President of Medena. The Election was later considers as unapproved, after the MSDP only won after they had no competition.

The MSDP Government
As it was the first government in Medena, it got criticized by many of its citizens, and after just 50 hours, it was dissolved and the council of government organized new elections. It announced them for the Winter of 75 / 22nd of July, but it would never happen.

The Medena Emergency
Under the pretense of organizing a festival to improve the mood of the citizens of Medena, the monarchists planned a coup together with Luis Von de Hotin and support from the Razuni Sultanate. After Suprafluid, one of the members of the MSDP showed up, Luis started the coup with the well-known quote:

"Ok so, it's fucking strarting Baby, I'm couping the government and everybody just going to love it!".

Changes after the Revolution
Medena was now under monarchist leadership, but they kept the democratic voting system for elections of their government and their Duke/Duchess. It became a province of the Razuni Sultanate and Medenians got the same rights as Razunis. Suprafluid and his supporters were exiled from the Razuni Sultanate. Maldequem became the new capital of Medena, and Luis Von de Hotin became the first Duke of Medena.

The Threat Of Another Revolution
After the revolution of the Medenian Emergency, some people didn't accept the change, and some believed that another revolution was on its way.

The Revolution Of Johnny

John Ian, the founder of Medena and Memeruler and who was also a founding father, were threatening the peace in the area of Medena. After Luis was exiled from the Razuni Sultanate for abuse of power, John Ian declared himself the King of Medena, and started the Kingdom of Medena. On the 27th of July, he decided to leave Medena peacefully, and many citizens hoped he would never return to Medenian lands and was banned from them. But he came back for four more times, to try to recalim power in Medena.

Revolutionary Plans from Harry Knight and Gas Commando

Harry knight and Gas Commando, were having a conversation about the recent changes and about how Medena would be better off without the influence of the Sultanate. They were planning to start a revolution against the Razuni Sultanate. They wanted to do this without dealing a lot amount of damage to the nation and their people. However, their plans were discovered, and they were sent to be executed. But their charges where dropped and both left on the 25th of July. About one month later on the 26th of August, Harry came back to Medena and apologized for his actions.

After Wolf said this about Harry: "He had a heart out of gold, but it was used for the wrong things."

A Peaceful Future
After the issue with Ian, Wolf, one of the founding fathers and mayor of Maldeqem, and Silver, a citizen of very early days and bartender, went on a journey, with both leaving a letter behind. Only Silver had returned from that journey.

The Letter Of Wolf

"Alright people of Medena, I've decided to step down as mayor of Maldeqem. I'm giving ownership to Alaina as we have been speaking a lot and she said she would do what's best for the city. Since this political mess happened many people left, many friends i had wanted relief from these Politics. Now personally i've had it aswell with this political drama everyday, I've decided to step down as mayor and not take any part in elections, votings, diplomats, anything political related. This doesn't mean that i'm leaving, but rather taking a break for a while. One of the reasons i joined Medena was so i could build and i'm going to keep my word on that, I'm going to still build in Medena and help clean this mess up. But i'm also going to start building in other city's as i want to see the world around me, taking part in new and older city's to help develop them. I hope you all understand and that i'll see you soon again."

The Letter Of Silver

"Dear Fellow citizens of Medena, I have made the decision to leave Medena. The past few days have been a wild ride and i need a break from politics. Don´t worry i won´t leave forever. One day i might return. But i want to explore the world, learn new recipes and meet new people and explore new Lands. I will leave the Tavern under the good care of Isackary. I wish u all the best, and hope that from now on life will be fun for u all again. See u again one day, Silver"

After this, Sheep, also one of the founding fathers, also wrote a short letter.

"So after that one founding Father step down as mayor and one Citizen of the first Generation went inactive for unknown time, I also will announce something. I will stay as right now and continue the writing of the history and organising the votes and things like that for all those who will left or just go inactive for a while, it was an honour for me May the holy Sheep be with us and may Medena live long!"

The Return of Harry
After some of the oldest citizens went on journies and went away from Medena, the province became a bit dead, but than after some weeks, a familiar face showed up in the Lands of Medena, Harry knight. First the old citizens were skeptical about the revolutionary of past times, but he apologized about his former actions and the citizens welcomed him back to his former home.

The Fourth Election
The Fourth Election was held on the Fall of 92 / 1st of October. In this election there where the MRP and the EMP. The MRP won with 7 out of 9 votes. The Leader of the Medenian Reconstruction Party, Harry, became the third Duke of Medena. As he promised he started a reconstruction project, which brought life back to Medena. This also incudes the founding of New Kingsburg, on the ruins of the old Republican City.
