Mercurian Republic

The Mercurian Republic, sometimes referred to as simply Mercury, is a nation established on Eldham. It was founded and is led by Chancellor Merc1377.

History
The Mercurian Republic was first established on the Eastern coast of the continent of Leifmyrr around June 10th, 2021, not long after the opening of the Eldham servers to the general public. They neighbored the Ellysian Empire to the North and Roðinnbrók to the West.

Several nations on the continent of Leifmyrr wanted to establish a defensive pact to defend one another as many of them were quite small in both territory and numbers. This was the basis of the Treaty of Sodalis which established the Northern Leifmyrr Alliance (NLA), consisting of the Mercurian Republic, Roðinnbrók, the Lotus City-State of Vraelea, the Terrainian Republic, the Blómach Forest, the Rhokia Shōgunate, the City-State of Sodalis, and finally, the nation of Nova Žemja.

The first military conflict the nation would be brought into, just around a week after its founding, was the Second Coalition-Ellysian War, where they assisted in the war effort. They later joined as a member nation of the Anti-Radical Syndicate (ARS) after the collapse of the Ellysian Empire.

On June 21st, 2021, several bandits broke into the Capital City of Maia where they killed multiple Mercurian civillians. Eventually, one bandit by the name of Astro became trapped and was killed by the Maians. This event became known as the Maia Massacre.
