Alokhrad

Alokhrad is a nation located on the east coast of Haven and was a state of the Second Empire of Uldarash. The nation was founded by Gamerblox2077 and is ruled by the Sultan, currently Al-Surii (Gamerblox2077).

The Alokhradi National Motto is "Nalva Piroa Ahn Adwii Icaz" which when roughly translated means "From our Wastes to our grasslands!". Although, the true meaning is "From our wastes and grasslands we shall remain!"

Geography
Alokhrad is comprised out of two biomes; the first is a mostly arid, barren, desert area that covers a majority of the land. The second biome is a mostly grassy area, which is where the capital is located. This is the most populated area, with smaller numbers in the desert biome.

Prehistory
During their travels, the Alokhradi became masters of navel technologies and weapons. They developed new designs. During their travels, they couldn't be tested for the most part. These designs included designs of advanced Redstone powered Ironclads, steam technology, large breach loading naval guns, breach loading carbines and naval gatling guns. These were ideas for the future of warfare and industry that could change Rathnir and Eldham forever. However, this technology has been mostly forgotten as it was far too expensive and was not needed.

Founding
The Alokhradi in an age long forgotten set sail from their original homeland seeking a land free of war, famine, and plague. They travelled across the world and after sailing north towards Rathnir, they encountered the 2nd Empire of Uldarash. When they did, the leader of the Alokhradi "Al-Surii" sent a messenger to Emperor Tequila-Knight and Emperor Aurelian, requesting a patch of uninhabited land in the eastern-most land in Haven. That land had belonged to the Holy Chevkri Empire for years. The land was ultimately given to the Alokhradi by Chevkri, thinking the Alokhradi would make a Chevkri State while the Alokhradi thought that they had a Semi-State within the 2nd Empire. Due to this miscommunication Al-Surii held a vote and in it was agreed by all the Alokhradi that they would want to found an official state in Uldarash. With blessing from Tequila-Knight Alokhrad had truly achieved statehood.

Founding in Rathnir
Alokhrad was once part of the Holy Chevkri Empire. Due to various causes or will to hold onto the territory, the province separated from the Chevkri Republic. They claimed its sovereignty and declared itself a new state in the Second Empire of Uldarash. Alokhrad was officially recognized by the Emperor of Uldarash, Canine14.

The First Coup
What would be referred to as the "First Coup" would begin on May 16th, 2021, when the Governor of South Sands, Yusef Razim, was elected as Councilor. He had begun to prepare for a coup against Al-Surii for various reasons that are unknown to this day. After the coup was declared and Al-Surii found out, he immediately sent word to Uldarash asking for aid. The Chevkrians were the first to respond and when they arrived, Uldarash backed Al-Surii. Yusef Razim and his supporters vanished after negotiations, never to be seen again.

The Induction of Astrova
Due to no Governor being around for South Sands, it fell into disrepair and was abandoned, while the planned city Eraqat was quickly completed and established as the capitol. A man by the name Draer Sterre and Setima, his friend, had built a town unknowingly on Alokhradi soil. Upon hearing, Al-Surii offered to let them continue building their city in the ruins of south sands, on the condition they join Alokhrad. Upon getting the letter and holding a referendum they agreed to stay and join the nation, and Astrova quickly grew and prospered.

Efforts to transition into Democracy
After growing bored, Al-Surii agreed to reform Alokhrad into a "puppet" democracy, but, it was a dictatorship. After a while, growing even more bored, Al-Surii stepped down as Prime Minister and allowed for true democracy to happen. The elections begun. Just as that happened, he transferred Eraqat to an Alokhradi, known as LL6, who would transfer it subsequently to another citizen known as Reeeeee1245, who was running for Prime Minister. That's when the second coups seeds would be planted.

The Second Coup
After the election began, it was apparent that Reeeeee1245, one of the candidates, would turn into a corrupt dictator. He suggested forced labour for all criminals, promoted slavery to a degree, and was a militant. He had also previously attempted to bribe other citizens, and was tried and unsuccessfully convicted of stealing.

After seeing the election results ahead of time, he was outraged that he wouldn't win. As that happened, he gathered his supporters and declared a coup. They had ownership of Eraqat and most of the treasury and armory. After hearing this, Girthychocolate immediately contacted military leaders to send a force to stop the coup. A small army was swiftly assembled, and the force travelled to Meramhold in Chevkri, where Al-Surii would guide the force to Alokhrad and relieve the besieged Alokhradi Loyalists in Astrova. After that, the Alokhradi Loyalists and Uldarashi force combed the desert and then travelled to Eraqat to take the city back and reinstall Al-Surii as Prime Minister. He was subsequently assumed emergency authority.

Return to Monarchism
After a few years Al-Surii and his adopted Son Aetamos put up a referendum to reinstate the Monarchy which ultimately succeeded due to it being a more tried and tested method of rule in Alokhrad. As a result, the Prime Minister was renamed to Grand Vizier and lost most of its authority while the executive authority would be transferred to the Sultan. Nevertheless, it was not an end to democracy in Alokhrad.

The revitalization of Alokhrad
In the months of November and December, many alokhrad citizens left due to inactivity, and alokhrad became, for lack of a better phrase, a ghost nation. At one point there were only 10 members in the discord with the citizen role. The revitalization did not take place over the course of one day, it happened slowly. It was in part because of the reconstruction and modernization of many cities in Alokhrad, a task undertaken by Chid and Drarzetkoman, and the founding of deepwind, alokhrads largest city. It was also helped by the return of many old citizens and the legalization of the Ice Subway just before the fall of Uldarash. Alokhrad is now a thriving independent state, with a thriving economy and a foundation stronger than steel.

The Fall of Uldarash
upon a uptick on the Internal and political strufe that rapidly infected the Uldarashi government, Al-Surii pushed for talks and encouraged reform, but upon it continuing it was recognized by not only Al-Surii but most of the High council that Uldarash was rapidly destabilizing and a civil war could happened suggestions floated around of dissolving the Empire to retain at least some semblance of peace on Haven, they then grew until the point where it had to be done, upon the official Dissolving of Uldarash Alokhrad agreed to the "Golden Ring pact" a Mutual Defense Agreement with Aurora, Savernia, and the newly founded Talawa kingdom.
