Golden Ring of Haven

The Golden Ring of Haven, also called the Golden Coalition and colloquially referred to as the Golden Ring was a short-lived international military alliance and mutual defense coalition between the seven sovereign nations of Haven for the goal of preventing war and keeping peace throughout the continent.

History
The Golden Ring of Haven was founded on February 28, 2021 between four of the sovereign (non-occupied) states of Haven, the Kingdom of Aurora, the Empire of Uldarash, the Holy Chevkri Empire, the Kingdom of Trafalgar, and the Second Kingdom of Paloro in order to increase cooperation and prevent war from breaking out between the nations, in the aftermath of the Viodoxan colonization of Haven. The alliance was expanded to include the Serene Republic of Kush and the Kingdom of Sinantra on March 1, 2021 following the increase of Viodoxan aggression what would ultimately culminate in the Second Viper War. Following the stunning defeat of the alliance during the Second Viper War, the Golden Ring of Haven was disbanded, but reformed as the Second Empire of Uldarash three days later on March 5, 2021.

Legacy
The Golden Ring of Haven was mostly forgotten by the majority of the population of Rathnir, given that it existed for a very short time and partook in almost no major events besides the Second Viper War, of which only the Kingdom of Aurora and Empire of Uldarash truly contributed to. The Golden Ring of Haven was also heavily overshadowed by the founding of the Second Empire of Uldarash, a far larger and more powerful nation consisting of nearly all the same nations only three days later.

Despite this, the Golden Ring of Haven is still often brought up in talks of independence of any constituent nation from the Second Empire of Uldarash, due to the Golden Ring losing the only war it existed to fight in. The Golden Ring was frequently used as an example, although its shortcomings exaggerated, to discourage the Federal Republic of Montroig from seceding from Uldarash during the major campaign for Montroigian independence led by Miningboy_12 and JackFKennedy in September 2021.
