First Ryvenate of Ryzan

The Ryvenate Of Ryzan, also known as the True Empire Of Ryzan, the Second Empire Of Ryzan or the Sixth Tsardom Of Ryzan, is a country that is apart of the Second Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire. It is the 17th government of the nation state of Ryzan. It is the first official Imperial government of the Ryzani nation, and is also the third government to be created via a peaceful transfer from the Fifth Tsardom of Ryzan. It is also the first time Ryzan has been fully independent since the Fourth Tsardom of Ryzan, which was officially dissolved in November 2021. The country has an ongoing border dispute with the Aurlûnor Velande over ownership of the Freehold of Deutzan, which it only controls 97% of the region, while the rest is under the control of Aurlûnor.

The Ryvenate of Ryzan stands as the longest iteration of the Ryzani states in history, standing for almost a year.

Independence
After the coup of Emperor Lucius Von Savras of Bardonia by Caliph Duke Azael & The Chancellor Uni on the 7th February 2022, chaos erupted in the now Military Order Of The Black Dandelion. The next day, Oranje Von Savras was couped by Bingo Bon Annover, splitting the Andorn region in two. Among this chaos, due to international backlash, the Bardonian government was trying to reform as the nation was crumbling. After a brief reform, Tsarina Shan Yazovich declared independence at 2:12am GMT on the 8th February 2022.

The De-Bardonification Campaign
Shortly after independence on the 8th February, Josbar Liberium announced the De-Bardonification Campaign, a process which:


 * Would remove all 'stains of Bardonian culture' in Ryzani territory
 * Make the transfer from a puppet state to a fully functioning imperial state of it's own
 * Recognise the former states as Freeholds within the Empire
 * Eliminate all traces of the Bardonian Occupation

On the 11th February, a mass dandelion burning ceremony took place across the country, as well as other things such as propaganda posters, flags & other symbols of the occupying regime were burnt on pyres in the middle of cities across Ryzan.

Rapid Alliance Building
In response to the Bardonian State threatening to invade Ryzan, the Council made the decision to build up alliances and NAPs as quickly as possible. In the first 2 days, Ryzan signed alliances and NAPs with:


 * Uldarash (South Sea Pact)
 * Aurlunor (NAP)
 * Ozeanburg (Pact Of Brotherhood)
 * Vanyrian Union (NAP)
 * Plazfarin (NAP)
 * Bardonian State (Treaty Of Good Duckburg)
 * Bardonian Enclave (Treaty Of Good Duckburg & NAP)
 * Xiani-Undōsa (NAMBP)
 * The Three Thrones (Mutual Defense Pact)
 * Najer (Mutual Defense Pact)
 * Credia (Mutual Defense Pact)
 * Domus (Support)

The Treaty Of Good Duckburg
After a swift round of independence movements between the 8th-9th February, Ryzan wanted to make sure that their independence was secured. So, on the 9th February 2022, Ryzan and the Second Bardonian State signed the Treaty Of Good Duckburg, which entails:


 * Term 1 - Any nation(s) to succeed or rise out of the region known as “Bardonia” shall follow this treaty, unless deemed otherwise by the Ryzani Tsar.
 * Term 2 - The nation of Bardonia shall never unify with, nor form a union with any nation(s) to succeed or rise out of the regions known as Andorn, Ryzan.
 * Term 3 - The remaining territories of Bardonian State shall become a new government, set up in conjunction with, and moderated by Ryzan.
 * Term 4 -  If any attempts to expand Bardonian control are found and evidenced and further deemed to be expansionist, imperialist or otherwise threatening to Ryzan/Andorn as deemed by the Ryzani Tsar, Gribbits is installed as god-emporer of the vassal-state, only answering to the Tsar.
 * Term 5 - The players known as Crezyman shall never hold a high government position (grand council or leadership) he shall also be disallowed from holding the New_Dorasterock land claim.
 * Term 6 - The image shown above shall be the new borders of Ryzan and Bardonia.

Shortly afterwards, the Bardonian Enclave declared independence from the Bardonian State, but as discussed in the treaty, the Bardonian Enclave also apply in the treaty.

The Integration Of Ozeanburg
After 3 polls were passed through the public of Ozeanburg, the bill was passed with 80.4% approval for Ozeanburg to integrate into the Ryvenate's core territory as a freehold. This bill also:

A few hours later, due to conflicts with Ozeanburg, Novatress declared independence as the Serene Republic of Novatress. After brief talks with the Ryzani government, a Mutual Defense Pact was signed between the two resulting in cordial relations.
 * Made Kaiser Germathual I of Ozeanburg the heir to the throne of Ryzan.
 * Made Novatress (previously a vassal state of Ozeanburg) into a Dominion of Ryzan.
 * Made Kaiser Germathual I the economic minister of Ryzan, as well as the overseer of the Deutzani Freehold, the Dominion of Novatress, and the Ozeanburg freehold.

The Integration of Credia
On the 3rd March 2022, Credia asked to become a part of the Ryvenate Of Ryzan as a freehold. After a 66% vote in favour for joining the Ryvenate, Credia was integrated as a freehold of the Ryvenate of Ryzan. The Treaty Of Time entails:


 * Credia is allowed to secede from the Ryvenate of Ryzan if a majority vote between The Chancellor of Credia, The Vice Chancellor of Credia, Crede Officials, Crede Ministers and the Royalty of Credia is achieved.
 * Credia is to be treated as a Ryzani freehold whilst being a member of The Ryvenate of Ryzan.
 * Credia is to maintain all current treaties that it signed before becoming a member of Ryzan.



Near-miss War against the Bardonian Enclave
On March 8th, the Ryvenate of Ryzan after learning about plans of Crezyman, the ruler of the Bardonian Enclave and Barbossa to invade Ryzan and establish the Fifth Bardonian Empire declared war on the State and announced the formation of the Round Table. An alliance consisting of The Second Empire Of Uldarash, Grand Jarldom of Frostmarch, Republic of Alamayn and Emirate of Najer all of whom gave their support to the war.

Luckily for both sides, conflict was evaded as a peace treaty was signed between the Bardonian Enclave & the Round Table to avoid war in the future and prevent plans of regional domination akin to the previous Bardonian empires. By doing this, tensions between the rest of Syltor & the region of Bardonia cooled off, and now the new Dandelion Empire and Ryzan possess a neutral status in politics, wishing to pursue similar interests.

The Ozeani Exodus
On March 17th, 2022, Tortuga gave Ryzan an ultimatum: Give Ozeanburg to us and leave the south or we will make you. In response to this, after a huge argument among the Ryzani Government, Tsarina Geo made a deal with the Leverosi Trade Federation to hand over Ozeanburg to them instead of Tortuga, in return for the LTF giving Ryzan the artificial island of Zonyagatti. Shortly afterwards, Ryzan evacuated all peoples and equipment from the freehold, and leaving Platzeon abandoned. The Ozeanburg freehold was re-established on the island, and the new capital city of Kaiserhaven was founded. Later, the freehold would merge with Volkoregrod to form the newest freehold of Volzengrod, ending the legacy of Volkore in Ryzan.

Intervention in the Veldski Civil War
On the 20th April 2022, after 3 days of deliberation in the Ryzani Council, Ryzan decided to intervene in the Veldski Civil War on the side of Chumon Ito, a Plagataean remnant recognised as the legitimate government of the region after the Kingdom Of Veldion was overthrown in early April. The Ryzani Imperial Navy and Ryzani Marine Corps were both deployed to Chumon Ito to support the South Plagataean Restoration Army in taking full control of Veldion, to further diplomatic relations and re-establish the Ryzani-Plagataean relationship that was lost after the fall of the Fourth Tsardom. Some Korolians and Nebskoslavs felt this as betrayal, however the government has since explained it's reasoning behind the decision to avoid another Crusade Against the Nebskoslavs.

Operation Blazing Sky & the Invasion of Veldion
On the 2nd May 2022, the Ryzani Imperial Navy officially began a bombing campaign of the Veldski-occupied Northern Regions, in an operation known as Operation Blazing Sky. The bombing campaign ran for 2 days before the Marine Corps launched a landing along the western coast. The Battle of the Exclave is still continuing at this time, however it is currently heading towards a Ryzani victory.

Capital Change
On the 6th June 2022, there was a bill passed in Duma. Suggested by Pavel Stanovych on behalf of Ryzani National Democratic Party, Constituent Capitals Act passed by majority, opposed only by Union of Democrats. That bill settled that Ryzan shall have two official capitals, in Tossagrad and Carthya.

Reformation of Aurlûnor-Ryzan
Following increased relations during and after the Red Sun Campaign, Aurlûnor & Ryzan made the effective decision to reunite into the Second Aurlûnoren-Ryzani Empire on June 11th, 2022. While this is considered a Ryvenate successor state, the Ryvenate still exists within the empire, along side Aurlûnor & Ashura.
