Novia's First Term Elections- July 12, 2021
Novia's first government which officially started on July 12, 2021 contained government positions like the Chancellor of Finance, Chancellor of the Interior, Chancellor of Foreign Affairs, Chancellor of Justice, and the Supreme Chancellor.These positions were all elected by the populace and all citizens were allowed to apply for the roles as the population of Novia was low at the time of first elections and if any positions were not filled by vote, the Supreme Chancellor would nominate the people for those positions. Every position would be reelected every 4 weeks. All proof of fair elections was released as well.

Novia's Second Term Elections- August 9, 2021
For the second term elections where campaigning started on August 6, 2021 and finished by the 9th, the populace of Novia had grown active enough to where all government positions had been filled and elected by the people. Interviews for the candidates running for Supreme Chancellor were conducted and released to the public. The two candidates for Supreme Chancellor were Elock and Lotus, both of whom had joined after first term elections and both had been very active in the nation's growth. Lotus was a prominent builder in Andoros while Elock had built in Black Hollow but both were very active in voice calls and fairly popular with the public. Also during this time, the emergence of a huge group of friends(dubbed BlooDood's Gang by some) managed to secure 5 of the 13 available government positions due to their incredible activity and charisma. It's important to note that the governor of Black Hollow position was also available for this election cycle as Georgia stepped down.

It's important to note that some topics in political debates in this time period were the debates over how much power the Supreme Chancellor should hold. For example, BlooDood's gang supported the split up of powers between the ministers and the senate to limit the amount of power the Supreme Chancellor did, and this was also supported by Georgia and Jerry along with the majority of the nation. On the opposition however, Baked Croissant defended a strong central figure in the nation as he believed it would lead to more stability but he also advocated against emergency powers at first as well.

The Second Term Crisis- August 26, 2021
A government crisis in Novia happened when large droves of government officials became inactive or left the server completely. BlooDood's gang had completely left the server after being killed by BeefLand and other members of Ulfaeng feeling that this world was not right for them. JoeMama had taken a hiatus one day into his term which caused Lotus and other government officials to intervene in foreign affairs, like baked, Jerry, and Elock. The foreign affairs crisis was especially intense due to managing the Skittles Alliance which was started when Plagatea declared war on Novia and was made of a coalition of skittle states in Plagos. However, the Skittles Alliance grew to include Hands members which eventually got the whole Magisterium involved leading to very worrying diplomatic talks between the smaller nations of the alliance, like Novia. Eventually this pressure caused the great Lotus to resign and hand off the Supreme Chancellorship to Baked Croissant who now dealt with a nation that had most of its government officials leave.

This led to Baked making himself the sole executive power(but he did host an election where he was the only candidate on the ballot) and centralizing the government which he had strongly advocated for in the past because he felt it was a more stable form of government. Elections would continue every month but there was to be no senate or defined minister roles but rather ministers would be appointed by Baked himself. Those that were appointed by Baked would be Salva for Minister of Construction and Elock for Minister of Foreign Affairs and Army General. Starting in late August, Jerry would become the prominent force for general internal affairs of the nation. He would go on to found the Aurora Novum University and run the first election of Baked, and the succeeding one as well.

Novia's Third Term Elections- October 1, 2021
The third term elections happened on the first of October and the main opponent of Baked Croissant was Georgia Man. Baked was still a popular candidate as activity in Novia began to rise once more and he maintained an isolationist policy keeping Novia out of unwanted conflicts. The reason behind Georgia running was to issue a Plagosi merger between Baronov and Novia along with the possibility of other future Plagosi states. Elock would also come to aid Georgia, acting like his campaign manager when the talk of elections first started. However in a debate between Baked and Georgia, it was clear that Georgia had become too inactive and had not thought of his campaign promises past the merger. Georgia would go on to lose the election to Baked but became more active in the nation politics during this time by mostly discussing with Elock, still the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Supreme Chancellor: Baked Croissant

Novia's Fourth Term Elections- November 2, 2021
The fourth term elections were especially interesting in Novian history due to the unprecedented amount of activity in the nation at this point. Players like Vexenatic, Riste, Baked, Elock, Echo, ADINO, Salva, and many others were consistently active in the nation's affairs and the growth of the nation at this point was very steady. This led to a plethora of candidates(most were meme candidates) to run for Supreme Chancellor of the nation.

In order to understand the political situation of Novia, it's important to understand the new rush of players that joined the nation. One main reason for this is the addition of ADINO into Novia. ADINO was previously barred from joining the nation by Georgia Man due to his crimes in Terras Tenebris but since Georgia was not Supreme Chancellor anymore, ADINO was able to join the nation and quickly take power by defeating Jerry in the election for Governor of Andoros. ADINO argued that Jerry had gone completely inactive, had let his city become slum-like, and had no support of his own residents. This would prove true as many believed that Jerry had not

Predecessor State
The predecessor state to Novia was Terras Tenebris which was founded by ADINO, Georgia Man, Jerry Andoros, and Zylax in early March with the consent of Valen McSpiegel. Terras Tenebris was created when the cities of Black Hollow(founded by Georgia, Jerry, Swayne, and Zylax) and Vertrappen(now known as Andoros which was founded by ADINO) which were part of Viodoxa combined into one political entity as a vassal. The government structure of Terras Tenebris was originally one where there was an elected president and one elected senator from each city. Elections between Jerry Andoros and ADINO ensued, and ADINO was declared the winner of the election due to his focus on recruiting and making connections with new citizens. However, ADINO would go on to appoint senators instead of letting them get elected which would cause conflict between Jerry and him especially. The days of Terras Tenebris

Founding
The Republic of Novia was founded on June 5th of 2021 with the Treaty of a New Dawn alongside the nation of Plagadonia and its land was bought from the United Kingdom of Plagatea for $83,000. The nation was founded by Jerry Andoros and Georgia Man, who both had lived in Plagos since February of 2021.

The foundings of the nation relate to the DonFuer situation in late April of 2021 where an interserver nation, DonFuer, had bought land from Viodoxa in mid-Plagos and had established an empire mainly focused on building. Also, the nation of Terras Tenebris which was led by the Commanding Quad had illegitimately integrated into DonFuer when one of the members, ADINO, had held a vote to join DonFuer(in which 3 were needed to join) but joined them regardless when only he had voted. When this had happened, the nation claim that was owned by ADINO claimed chunks all the way to the western coast where the new city of DonFuer was being built. Jerry Andoros and Georgia Man, two long-time members and partial founders of Terras Tenebris were infuriated when this happened and officially rebelled alongside Jayjayrex after negotiations with DonFuer's leader D_loaded fell through. This formed the Golden Alliance Pact in which the nations of Plagadonia(led by Jayjayrex, a former Nova Regna player), Plagatea, and the Terras Tenebris remnants had allied together to eventually defeat DonFuer.

Eventually, the low council members(BeefLand, ADINO, Darzivor) and premier of DonFuer(Cranberry) had become inactive and D_loaded saw no reason to continue the sovereignty of DonFuer so he sold the land to a member of Uldarash for $1,000,000 which was then bought out by Plagatea for $500,000. Talks with Plagatean leadership such as DOOM and Nero by Jayjayrex, VoidCipher, Georgia Man, and Jerry Andoros happened and it was agreed that the newly bought land would once again be sold to both the nations of Plagadonia and Terras Tenebris. However, Jerry and Georgia had talked and agreed that the nation of Terras Tenebris was wrought with corruption and anti-democracy sentiment so they decided that this land would become a new nation that would embrace more democratic ideals and a more hopeful future for Plagos. Therefore, instead of reinstating Terras Tenebris, the two men decided to name the nation Aurora Novum which incorrectly translates to "a new dawn" to show the change. With the Treaty of a New Dawn between Plagatea, Plagadonia, and Aurora Novum created and signed, this meant that Aurora Novum would pay $83,000. Jerry and Georgia quickly moved their stuff from Fort Plagon, the main base of operations for the rebellion to Black Hollow which had now been unclaimed by staff with ADINO's permission and Georgia claimed over most of the city, starting from where Black Hollow square is today.
