Second Uraki Imperium

Uraka, officially the Second Uraki Imperium, commonly known as Uraka, is a nation which was formed by the Druk Yul Imperium, Simulami Empire, Valreach, Osria, Rodinnport, and the Zamotz Confederation during the year 250 TE.

Foundations
In the days of the First Uraki Imperium, The Simulami Empire had been one of their most loyal allies. Tylics, the leader of Druk Yul, a former Uraki domain on very good terms with the leaders of Simulami. After the dissolution of Tylicsville, a joke nation which he had formed with Simulami and other nations, They considered creating a real merger, which would go under the Uraki name.

The reason for the creation of a new Uraka was to give the citizens of the founding nations an increased military strength and economic ties as they had been isolationist and declining for a long time.

The Purchase of Stoneguard
Stoneguard was once a part of the Domain of Arkatania in the First Uraki Imperium. The Second Imperium claimed this land, which created a great source of tension between itself and Eleanor, a dying country ruled by the Parahands, seeking to sell off unruly, distant territories and centralize into a new nation with its loyal vassals, which would become known as Iveresteiya. Stoneguard, being a source of tension between Uraka and Eleanor, was offered to be sold, an offer that Uraka eagerly took, along with a non-aggression pact. Stoneguard therefore entered the Imperium as a Domain.

CATO Invasion of Uraka
On 7-31-2023, in the Winter of 259 T.E., after Shardtron of House Osria, at that time Lord Protector of Osria made a series of insults and percieved threats towards the Confederation of Garxijos or C.O.G. lead to the rump state that was left of the once great democracy to declare war upon Uraka.

This was quickly followed the following Spring of 260 T.E. by a declaration of war from the Imperial Archonate of Sylvania, which had territory near the C.O.G. and shared several members of government. After this declaration, the General Secretary of the Celestial Accords Treaty Organization, or C.A.T.O., decreed that the alliance, of which Sylvania was a member, would support their war against Uraka.

This brought in the powerful countries of the A.W.E., which was currently occupied with its invasion of Atlechia, Ashai, a massive industrial juggernought in the Northwest, Anglunia, a country currently suffering its monarch going insane and dying and causing internal conflict, and Iveresteiya, a country ruled be the powerful mercenary company, the Parahands. Together, C.A.T.O. was very powerful and posed a serious threat to Uraka, as they had been threatening to attack the Imperium since its inception.

Aiding Uraka in their wars were several nations such a K.O.E.L., an expansionist nation at odds with the Parahands, and Atlechia, valiantly fighting off an A.W.E. invasion. Some territories in the A.W.E. also rebelled against imperial rule. Additionally, the mercenary company Goonfeang supported the Imperium, and House Sterlingcrest gave 7.1 million gold in aid, with donation in the hundreds of thousands from many others.

The Simulami Secession
While there had been great optimism about the war effort from many citizens, at the beginning of 260 T.E., the Simulami Empire left the Second Uraki Imperium of fear of a war with C.A.T.O., for which many scorned the nation. Shortly after, its four vassals that had joined the Imperium with it soon left in the following month. After this, there was a great amount of strife in Simulami due to conflicting views over the secession, which many viewed as cowardice.

Stoneport Revolution
Shortly after the Simulami Secession, a relatively unknown aristocrat hatched a daring plan in the city of Stoneport, the most populous and prosperous city in Stoneguard by a landslide. He snuck in the night, turning hearts and minds in the city, and then, he destroyed the claims of the city and declared himself the ruler of an Independent Stoneguard. While Stoneguard remained loyal nominally, the rest of the Domain offered little to the realm besides the great city, and the rest of the Domain practically ended communications with the capital.

The Secessions of 261 T.E.
Now, in the Summer of 261 T.E., the Rodinnians of Portnorth and Fort Jorm declared their intention to join the K.O.E.L., Urakas ally. Just as before, the Imperator, Tylics allowed the secessions to prevent more conflict. Later that season, Tylics no longer wished to work to fight the enemy, and abdicated as Imperator. The Druk Yul Kingdom left the Second Uraki Imperium with him. Afterwards, Shardtron declared himself Imperator, controlling the capital and being the wealthiest noble in the realm.

The Reign of Shardtron
After the abdication of Tylics and the loss of Druk Yul, Shardtron became the new Imperator. With the problem of war on his hands and few citizens remaining loyal to Uraka, Shard took up the challenge of rule confident in saving Uraka. He immediately began conversing with his people, taking account of who was loyal, and promising to continue the war.

The Second Secessions of 261 T.E.
In the same season, just after the abdication of Tylics and the start of the Reign of Shardtron, the Zamotz Commonwealth declared themselves independent of the Second Uraki Imperium, severing all diplomatic relations with them. In the same time, Stoneguard also declared themselves independent of the Empire. However, the recently new Imperator, Shardtron opposed this, disputing the two territories.

Domains
The Imperium uses a type of Province called Domains, ruled in the Imperators name by Lord Protectors. The domains are as follows:

The Domain of Osria
Ruled by the House of Osria, this domain houses Urak, the largest, most significant city in the Imperium.

The Domain of Rodinnport
The island chain of mountain peaks from old Roddinbrok, only a half dozen small islets after the secession of the main islands.

Disputed Domains
The Imperator opposed the independence of the following domains:

The Domain of Stoneguard
Stoneguard, purchased from Eleanor, is a domain made anew, consisting half the lands of the old Arkitanian Domain.

The Domain of Zamotz
The Domain of the Zamotz Union, is an autonomous Domain.

The Domain of Druk Yul
Druk Yul, the home of the wealthy former Imperator Tylics Aurelian.

Domain of Simulami
