Ball Ball Ball 3

Ball Ball Ball 3 is a trans-regional nation in Eldham with land in Valresh, Phoros, and Arsine. It was created out of a merger between Korosechev and Rauthgreni in order to recreate the original Ball Ball Ball, which was a merger between the Confederation of Garxijos and Rodinnbrok, which each state claims historical heritage to respectively.

Ball Ball Ball 3 officially came into existence on the 7th of November 2023 when the treaty dictating the merger between Korosechev and Rauthgreni was officially signed and ratified by both sets of leadership. Discussion had been going on between the two for several days prior about how best to combine the two governments, leading to a new government called an Anatocracy being created. The nation is federal and is composed of two states (Korosechev and Rauthgreni) who keep their laws prior to merging and are allowed to retain their ideology, but these can still be overruled by the central Ball Ball Ball 3 government.

The nation's existence pays homage to Ball Ball Ball; the brief name of Coginnbrok, which was a merger between the Confederation of Garxijos and Rodinnbrok, with both Korosechev and Rauthgreni claiming to be the main successors to these countries due to historical and cultural reasons. Both Korosechev and Rauthgreni claim a shared cultural heritage with each other due to Coginnbroks existence and have had very close relations which helped found the merge.

Etymology
The name Ball Ball Ball comes from the brief renaming of Coginnbrok, and the "3" comes from the fact that it is the third in the series of Ball Ball Balls; "Ball Ball Ball 2" was simply when Korosechev renamed itself. The nation's official and colloquial name is both Ball Ball Ball 3.

Background
Korosechev and Rauthgreni have historically had extremely good relations due to their shared circumstances and mutual respect. Both nations are small and relatively weak nations, and both have often had to face adversity against larger opponents. There were suggestions of a merger on occasions, but these largely went nowhere due to ideological and government structure differences.

After several more months of closer and closer relations, a proposal was put forward to reform Ball Ball Ball due to the historical ties both of the countries had to their predecessor's union. This proposal began getting traction, and details about how to conduct the merge were figured out, necessitating the creation of a new type of government because of extreme differences in government structure and ideology.

Formation
On the 6th of November 2023 a formal merger document was written up dictating the process of merging, and both Rauthgrenite Diarchs along with the Korosto of Korosechev signed and ratified the agreement. Both governments alerted their citizenships and posted an announcement regarding the merge. On November 8th, ministries would be formally created and the process for joining them was established. On November 9th, elections were opened up for citizens to apply for minister positions and for the status of People's Representative.
