Kingdom of Nanois

The Kingdom of Nanois, officially "le Royaume de Nanois", was founded on July 8th, 2023, by King Asthmatic Manchini-Saintistel, when offered land of the former city of Almmore. The Kingdom of Nanois is a province of Maravilla, therefor it won't be visible on the world maps in the StoneWorks Cartographer Guild. The current monarch is Jag Urmos.

Pre-Historic
Before the Foundation, several cultures and civilizations lived in the present-day Kingdom of Nanois. First, was the Kingdom of Almmore. Many of the buildings of the Kingdom of Almmore still stand underneath Ville de Nanois.

Sometime after Almmore, another civilization amerged, and covered the entirety of the Almmori housing district. They built ontop of the city and it's roads, leveling the city out. Many of their buildings used deepslate.

Foundation
The Kingdom of Nanois was founded when the Granduer of the United Territories of Kostuco offered Asthmatic the land of the former industrial city of Almmore, an industrial Kingdom founded under the Tortugan Sphere of Influence. This offered the House of Dominika & Saintistel a throne of their own, and their own nation to rule. Asthmatic accepted the offer, with the conditions of keep the religious temple as it was.

Soon after the formation of the capital city, Ville de Nanois, Asthmatic, along with several key builders and figures from other nations, began transforming the newly founded Ville de Nanois into a lovely, desirable city - removing all of the dark and grungy deepslate.

King Asthmatic, government officials, and citizens came together and planned the new Ville de Nanois. During the planning stages, King Asthmatic was given permission from the Union (United Territories of Kostuco) that he could remove the religious temple in the Site Religieux Aborigène. The nation rejoiced when they heard the news, as they could truly build the nation they envisioned.

Les Ennius
Les Ennius, better known as the Trouble Period, was a period of time shortly after the foundation of the Kingdom that Nanois faced. There were three significant troubles.

The First Trouble, was within The United Territories of Kostuco, which had internal issues. Leaders of the Union often would disagree and declar war on each other often. The Kingdom of Nanois vouched for peaceful resolutions to the conflicts, understand both sides, and remained neutral, however, diplomacy failed. Eventually, during the short two days of conflict, a new union, the North Sparwood Federation, was formed.

The Second Trouble, shortly after the first, was when Grand Castell-Llozhar had occupied and annexed territory of the Kingdom of Nanois, and continued to expand and changed it on all maps of Rathnir. Concerned and worried about the chance of war, King Asthmatic started recruiting for the Navy by offering $10,000 immediately upon joining. During diplomatic talks, Grand Castell-Llozhar officials remained quiet and refused to respond to questions of leaders from the North Sparwood Federation and the Kingdom of Nanois. It was later determined that the land was part of Thallassi, and was rightfully part of Grand Castell-Llozhar. However, once Elan, the leader of the former North Sparwood Federation left the discussions, peaceful diplomacy was made. Agreements on splitting the land and having an open, and free border with a town from both nations being on the island were made. However, Elan disapproved of this and attempted to bar Asthmatic from diplomacy, stating "it did not work." Meanwhile, much of Ville de Nanois was being developed and more citizens began to join the nation.

Immediately after, the Third Trouble had begun. The North Sparwood Federation had internal disputes between the Grand Council containing of the leaders the Kingdom of Nanois, Tsardom of Zephyria, Buzavar, and Ostwyzia. These four nations stood against Elan's poor leadership and founded a new confederation. This sparked controversy and was a large issue within Plagos, and more importantly Kartek. However, Asthmatic was determined to find a peaceful resolution and diplomacy began with himself, Elan, and Kayo, the Federations Overseer. Asthmatic and Elan wrote and signed the Treaty of July, outlining the wishes of both parties and what was to come. However, this didn't last long as the old Kartek leaders were reunifying Kartek. Worried about being drag into a unwanted continental conflict, Asthmatic asked to be directly under Greater Plagos, and they accepted it.

Journée Liberté Nanois
On the 26th of July, the Kingdom of Nanois declared the day to be Nanois Freedom Day, other wise known as Journée Liberté Nanois, and marked the day that Nanois was no longer under any Kartek union, and could complete international diplomacy as they wish. On the 27th, the territory dispute with the GCL was dissolved, with the entire territory being returned to Nanois. The claim was named Almmori, with the arrondissement name remaining Bayan e Bonsac. However, the same day, Greater Plagos kicked Nanois out of the nation and into State of Maravilla. Nanois was open to how Maravilla, a Spanish state, would bring stability to the region, and with their ideals aligning with the Nanoisien government, the government was open to being directly under the new State of Maravilla. Nanois signed several non-aggression pacts and mutual defense agreements at the time. Meanwhile, the leaders of Maravilla and Asthmatic got close and became very good friends, to the point where Maravilla trusted the Kingdom of Nanois to oversee the governments of Buzavar and Ostwyzia after they attempted to succeed from Maravilla.

Prime Minister Jag Urmos
On July 30th, it was announced that Jag Urmos won the first Prime Minister Election. The results between the Prime Minister, and his opponent, Karl af Karling were very close. Considering how Jag had already been Asthmatic's right hand, it made sense for him to become Le Premier Ministre. However, King Asthmatic was open to Karl af Karling joining the government in a ministerial position. During this time, King Asthmatic attempted to mend relations with the Queendom of Auremia (formerly the Queendom of Dominika), however, relations worsened and Dominika.

Auremia Conflict & Government Reformation
The Auremian Conflict was a complicated conflict, with hours having been put into the planning. After Gem Dominika, the Queen of Auremia, refused to compromise and find peaceful solutions with Nanois and Maravilla, Nanois and Maravilla began to arm up and began to fight back. Heavily fortifying Maravilla's capital of Las Palmas, and the Nanoisien-Auremian border, the two parties were ready and prepared for war. After multiple small clashes between the Nanoisien's and Auremians (along with their hired mercenaries), the two sides sat down, and had a pleasant discussion and realized that the Auremian government was the one that truly started the war. However, both sides knew a much larger conflict was to lie ahead. They wished each other good luck and good health, and went their separate ways. On August 11th, the King released an official press release outlining the war and the road blocks the nation has endured, while encouraging citizens to remain strong. One of the road blocks the King stated was the fact that former Grand Castell-Llozhar leaders owning the Almmori claim that was originally planned to be the claim used in the first battle of the war. However, one they removed the King's and Prime Minister's permissions, they transferred ownership of the claim to the Kings adoptive mother, Renée Estrucii (of the former Kingdom of Thalassii).

On August 11th, King Asthmatic and Prime Minister Jag Urmos, and Chief of the Naval Staff Fedex Buzz ratified a new constitution, Constitution of the Kingdom of Nanois: Inula of Thermidor (Nanoisien: Constitution du Royaume de Nanois: Aunée de Thermidor). With the new revisions, it changes the government structure, allowing for a smaller government with less radical ideas, and outlines the new powers and permissions of government members. On August 12th, Maravilla and Auremia began diplomatic discussions to avoid a war, knowing that a war in the region would not benefit either party.

On August 14th, King Asthmatic announced his resignation from the throne, and announce Jag Urmos as his heir, as well as the further complications and development of the conflict with the G.C.L. A few hours later, an official proclamation was published and proclaimed Jag Urmos (Nanoisien: Jag Ourmos) as King of the Kingdom of Nanois.

Spices and rice are a rare commodity in Nanoisien Cuisine. Although cheese, wines, and beers are an important part of the Nanoisien culture, it is a rare commodity as well.

Holidays & Festivals
