The Kingdom of Polskon
Veldion history started when it was still Kingdom of Polskon. The kingdom itself was a self-proclaimed kingdom that was never recognized by any other nations but itself. It was a small kingdom of one city in the continent of Plagos. It was founded by SirHolyChicken and Duegy. SirHolyChicken or Pesto Poultrix was a Poultrian Chickenman from another realm to Rathnir that his people called Poultria. Poultrix left his homeland in search of adventure and found Rathnir. While traveling throughout Rathnir he found the Player Dug Korol-Zerkalo living in the nation of Viodoxa. Dug was a axolotl trader that was in the process of traveling throughout Rathnir in search of a home. Together the two teamed up and searched across Rathnir for a location for their homes. After ages of searching they landed on the shores of Plagos next to a mountain range. Here they created the town of Polskrige and the Kingdom of Polskon with SirHolyChicken and Duegy as a diarchal kingdom. It later changed, as Duegy stepped down, and it became a monarchy.

The city soon became a haven for immigrants, with refugees and tribal population joining it shortly after its foundation. Zartacla, adoptive son of Deithwein, who was owner of the nearby St. Deithwein Monastery, would be one of the habitants, as well as Yes Zerkalo.

Integration into Plagatea - Polskon under the First Plagatéan Empire
The Kingdom of Polskon did not last long and was dissolved on May 15th. It became part of the province of Czervoslavia inside the Kingdom of Plagatea, despite being effectively self-governed by the people of Polskon. The Plagatean government diverted immigrants towards the city, pushing its population count higher. When Glurak Ravdrac was washed ashore near Ieon, he was sent to Polskrige together with Mr Yes, who would become his best friend in the next years. Other notable citizens who joined during this time were DMO_craft, who later became a bandit, and Altaris, the builder of Mead Garden and Political Activist.

The City Council Movement
Shortly after joining, tension rose in the Kingdom. The government under Pesto I. Poultrix suffered from a lack of administration and was de-facto led by Yes Zerkalo, who wasn't able to lead the state entirely on his own, having to fulfil his duties as diplomat at the Plagatean Court as well. Newly joined citizens could not get a plot for their own home, resulting in poverty and homelessness amongst the populace. Three Players, Glurak G. Ravdrac, Werner and Altaris, founded the City Council Movement (CCM) as reaction. They believed that a man alone could not be able to lead a nation, petitioning for a council of ministers and a monthly elected Prime Minister. When the King ordered the people to build a bridge from Polskrige to the Outpost Dug Zerkalo had established on Dughold Mountain, the CCM saw a chance. When the citizens had assembled next to the building site, Glurak took the chance and decided to confront the king. After overwhelming protests from the people and support from Mr Yes for the movement Pesto Poultrix surrendered to the CCM, reduced to a mere representative of Polskon.

However, the movement was not entirely unopposed. A small, but well equipped elite of monarchists led by DMO_craft decided to attempt an assassination on Mr Yes, who they considered a traitor to the monarchy. The following panic resulted in the destruction of the old city plaza. Mr Yes was only slightly wounded and DMO was banished from the city. This was the beginning of the Bandit War period.

Polskrige Bandit Conflict

For multiple weeks the bandits (DMO_Craft, Dug and SLIDEY_PENGUIN) continued to evade attempts by Plagatean law enforcement to arrest them, while also sending messages to several citizens trying to convince them to join their side. A day after the attempted assassination of Mr Yes, King Pesto Poultrix came out denouncing the bandits. Duegy, after finding out about the kings denouncement decided to switch sides as he only joined the bandits because he thought they were acting in the kings interests when they were not. Duegy, along with another player who infiltrated the bandits team, known as 7_bruh, helped the Polskon militia and Plagatean law enforcement track down the bandits and raided their base simply known as Penguin. Seeing no other options DMO, Slidey and another player who joined them called W_alliss attempted one last attack on the city of Polskrige where they were soundly defeated by the Polskon Militia who during the battle was bravely lead by King Pesto Poultrix. The defeat and death of all the members of the bandits during the battle of Polskrige meant that the last trace of Monarchists inside Polskon were dead. The Republic movement which was now headed by Glurak G Ravdrac and Mr Yes Zerkalo now had no opposition inside Polskrige which lead to Pesto Poultrix giving up his last trace of power with the signing of the Polskon Charta on June 26th 2021 which founded the Republic of Polskon.

Republic of Veldion

The government of the republic is weak in the beginning. This is due to many people having left for the newly discovered New World, including Altaris and Werner. For the duration of three weeks it was led by a triumvirate of ministers, Glurak, Yes and Dug. The writing of the Polskon Charta, the first constitution, was commenced by Glurak on June 26th. On July the 2nd, When the constitution was finally accepted by the king and the other ministers, Glurak was made provisional Prime Minister of Polskon, but also kept his position of Minister of Architecture despite a small protest made by Mr Yes against having two roles at he same time. After Citizens could sign up for candidacy, the first election was held in the young republic. Dug Korol-Zerkalo, due to his larger popularity, won the election on July 10th. Glurak and Mr Yes were less popular due to accusations of tyranny, as they were both part of the provincial government, which had not been elected democratically. The same day, after long negotiations, Polskon gained the status of province. In return, Polskon had to join the United Commonwealth.

The Second City of Polskon, Havenstad, was founded by Tyranno Van Krachtig and his brother Knightmare on July 18th, not knowing they had settled in Plagatean Territory. At this point, Polskons population was at its height, being the Second biggest Province in the entirety of Plagatea just behind the capital province of Sakura. The city joined Polskon soon after. Politically, the entrance of Havenstad into Polskon, was difficult. Not only did it require changes to the constitution, but it was soon realised that Havenstads culture was more different to Polskriges then originally thought. So to make the province less Polskrige focused the city council voted to change the name of the province from Polskon to Veldion. The joining of Havenstad also split the province into two different political parties: Bright (Mayor of Polskrige), and Knightmare joined together into a nationalist party, the National Freedom Party (NFP), later renaming itself VNP, Veldski Nationalist Party, which was soon dominated by a dictator called Muddy, while the other side, Mr Yes, Tyranno and Glurak, formed a party focused on internal affairs and a welfare system, the National liberal party (NLP). The party conflict would still go on for weeks, and it would decide over the Veldski Fate.
