Sarlatova

About Sarlatova
Sarlatova is a small nation that was founded on 11/27/2021 (November 27th, 2021). It is located in the sparwood region and currently borders Frosmyre and The Demesne of Mudrock. The capitol city is Sarlatovy, and there is not really a set governement. The closest type of governemnt that Sarlatova uses is an Oligarchy. With RiskyFisk being the chief magistrate, although RiskyFisk also takes opinions and requests from normal citizens. The word "Sarlatova" is based off of the word for "Scarlet" in czech. The only difference is that the normal word in czech would be Scarlatovy, but RiskyFisk, SmashyCrash, and Cricketses decided that it sounded better without the "y" and with an "a" at the end.

Founding
Sarlatova was founded on 11/27/2021 by RiskyFisk, Cricketses, and SmashyCrash. The nation was not widely recognized until 11/28/2021 when the nation was confimed in the map discord server. Sarlatova was built up from land that was purchased from frosmyre using funds from Cricketses, SmashyCrash, and money RiskyFisk had made by selling enchanted books at spawn.

Empire of the Scarlet Islands
The Empire of the Scarlet Islands was founded by RiskyFisk on 11/13/2021 inside of Aurlunor Velande which RiskyFisk did not know at the time. Aurlunor constantly asked him to intergrate to nation but he kept refusing. On 11/16/2021, Aurlunor threatened to send in a military invasion. RiskyFisk reluctantly joined Aurlunor. It was all good for a week or so until Aurlunor wanted everyone in the Empire if the Scarlet Islands to evacuate because "They did not care for lore and the buildings looked factiony." Around 11/24/2021, The Empire of the Scarlet Islands disbanded and left.

Melon Market
After being kicked out of Aurlunor Velande, RiskyFisk, SmashyCrash, and Cricketses moved into the basement of Melon Market, which is a shop that RiskyFisk owned (Now cricketses owns) that was near 0,0. While they were there, they sold stuff to save up for land. After being turned down multiple times, RiskyFisk messaged Frosmyre. Frosmyre was very friendly and agreed to sell them land.

Surprise Attack
About 30 minutes after Cricketses, SmashyCrash, and RiskyFisk had made it to their land, they were greeted by bandits. Specifically, the leader of Frosmyre, who attacked SmashyCrash and Cricketses. They said that RiskyFisk got scammed and that Frosmyre owns it, but it was all just fun and games. They were trolling them. (Honestly it was pretty funny and it made Smashy build the walls faster -RiskyFisk)

Absolute Chaos
While the attack was happening at Sarlatova, RiskyFisk was being held at sword-point for cutting down a national forest in Aurlunor Velande. He managed to get away and when he got to Sarlatova, he was greeted by a very mad SmashyCrash, and a concerned Cricketses. The first day was chaos, but made SmashyCrash, Cricketses, and RiskyFisk more experienced with their area.

Name Changes
In the early days of Sarlatova, there were big debates on the name of the nation. When Sarlatova first formed, it was the Empire of the Scarlet Sky. This changed when RiskyFisk handed leadership over to SmashyCrash for a few days to deal with issues regarding RiskyFisk cutting down a national forest in Aurlunor Velande. The first thing that SmashyCrash did as Cheif Magistrate was to change the name of the Empire of the Scarlet Sky, with him saying it was "Laughable, since we are just a small city-state." The name was then changed from "Empire of the Scarlet Sky" to "Sarlat'nebe." This name lasted for only a few hours as it got many mixed reactions form people. There was then discussion between SmashyCrash and RiskyFisk on a new name. SmashyCrash wanted the name to stay but RiskyFisk was suggesting the name to be "The Scarlet Sky Federation." They kept disagreeing, but eventually settled on the new name to be "Sarlatova."

Values
Sarlatova is designed to be as free as possible, while also staying well managed and looking good. Citizens must ask permission to build or break stuff inside the cities, but can decorate the insides of their houses as much as they want. Citizens also have the permission to do whatever they want concerning other nations, but Sarlatova asks that they respect other nations wishes. Although, if a nation contacts Sarlatova directly tell them that a citizen was doing something bad in their nation, that citizen will be punished. Punishments range from fines to being evicted from Sarlatova.

Religion
There is complete free religion inside of Sarlatova, and the government will even build seperate areas to worship if there is a big enough religion. The main religion that most people follow though is Phoenixism.

Aurlunor Velande
Relation = Hostile

Relations with Aurlunor Velande have never been good. RiskyFisk started his first nation, the Empire of the Scarlet Islands, on Aurlunor Velande land. Aurlunor Velande threatened to a military invasion so he joined them. They then kicked the Empire of the Scarlet Islands off of their land because the buildings did not look good and RiskyFisk did not care much for lore. As revenge for Aurlunor Velande kicking out RiskyFisk and his citizens, RiskyFisk cut down their national forest. As a result, RiskyFisk is banned from entering Aurlunor Velande.

The Demesne of Mudrock
Relation = Friendly

The Demesne of Mudrock is a nation that borders Sarlatova, and they are very friendly towards each other.

Frosmyre
Relation = Friendly

Despit Frosmyre sending bandit raids with their own leader invloved, the relations are friendly. Frosmyre is the nation that sold land to Sarlatova originally, and still does. Sarlatova has tried to ally, but the nation is too small to ally with Frosmyre.

Kartek
Relations = Neutral

There are not really any relations with Kartek at the moment. They are nearby and almost neighbors, and may soon be if Sarlatova buys more land up to the Kartek border.

Midg'liri
Relations = Friendly

Since Midg'liri is a very new nation, not much is known about them although they seem very friendly.

Geography
The geograph of almost all of Sarlatova is a birch and oak forest. There is a very large lake in the middle of the nation called "Lake Scarlet." On the left side of the nation there is also a plains biome. Nearby there is lots of frozen tundra and mountains, although Sarlatova only owns a few hills.
