Early History
This land used to have a king, as many rulers called themselves kings of this land. Ocenia It was called, by them. But the people there could never be truly be ruled over, for they were headstrong and dangerous. Every time a man declared himself ruler of these lands, the people rose up against him. But in the end they could never stay united, each man returning to his village, in hopes that this would never happen again. But one day something changed. Another ruler attempted to subjugate them, and for many, they did what the always did: they rid their land of this rulers tyranny, naming that ruler "deadweight." But deadweight attempted to make them pay. His armies raged across the lands, forcing the people of Ocenia, now called Oceanum, to rise up once more. They were forced to create an army, called the Knights of Oceanum, led by marshals. Those marshals elected one amongst them to become the Grand Marshal. With the Knights by his side, this Grand Marshal, named Ragnarium Ravenking, forged a nation to rid Deadweight from its lands. After years of war, Ragnarium was successful. On his deathbed, he declared the nation he had forged, named "The Union of Oceanum" for at the time it was a union of the different towns and cities in it, a republic. And so "The Grand Republic of Oceanum" was born. His son, Tyrian Ravenking, was placed as the Prime Director of the republic. He then forged the republic for his term, growing the republic with him. Now we wait to see what happens next.

June
Founded by members of the former nation of the Union of Freeport, the Republic modified and changed much of the laws. Soon, 3 cities were founded, Litoreia (Antaria), Korland, and Urbastian. It quickly grew in size, doubling itself in days. Eventually, Korland attempted to secede from the Republic, creating the Republic of Korland in the process. They then became an autonomous zone within the republic. The Realm Of Fire also joined as an autonomous zone. Soon after, the town of Valrusia joined which ended up growing to the point of becoming the capital. Some other settlements were established but Valrusia, Korland, and Urbastian became the three main cities of the Republic.

July
The Republic was in a state of peace for it's first month until the Realm Of Fire Rebellion.

In the aftermath of the Rebellion, the government was taken over by the military led by the Director of Defense at that time, oodles0noodles. He installed himself as Prime Director in place of Vanity and Criptik as Secretary Prime Director in place of August. Their reason was that Vanity wasn't taking the country in the right direction. Oceanum's new leadership began forwarding talks with The Forge to set the terms for joining. Not long after, Oceanum officially joined The Forge and the military coup was ended, setting August as the Prime Director and Criptik as the Secretary Prime Director.

Nothing much happened for the rest of the month. The Forge provided security but nobody was interested in moving into any of the cities. Korland was abandoned due to the terrain being hard to build on, but was replaced with Lordstone not long after.

August
Things started to happen in Oceanum in either late July or early August when the Danubia region of The Forge joined Oceanum, making it the largest it has been in all of it's history. For the rest of the month, new settlements were popping up every few days, some growing into towns and cities. . On August 22nd, Oceanum declared independence from The Forge after holding a vote which was massively in favor of independence. This, along with other factors, lead to The Forge's dissolution which left Oceanum independent.

September
Upon gaining it's independence, Oceanum slowed down as a country. The population was stagnant and even falling in some places. It got to the point where towns and cities were left abandoned such as Doxenia and Kythnos. The very capital, Hyperion, even fell into anarchy for a short period of time.

Until the alleged death of Oceanum's founder, Tyrian Ravenking.

Upon hearing that Tyrian had died, order was restored in Hyperion and it's name was changed to Tyrian. (When it was discovered that Tyrian was still alive, the city's name was changed back to Hyperion)

Then, there was the election of Wissam Doxenite VI, possibly the most monumental election in Oceanum's history.

October
Wissam ran two censuses, created a new directorate position, re-aquired Valrusia, signed the treaty which made Wellistan an Oceanumite vassal, aquired Freeport as a second vassal, and finally ratified the constitution which had been paused since August, all in his first term. Due to this immense success, he was reelected in the October election for another month.
