Nova Žemja

State of Nova Žemja is a country located in eastern Leifmyrr. It was founded as a colony of United Commonwealth, by Ignati II Korol.

Colony
The colony of Nova Žemja (meaning new land) was created by Ignati II Korol after a failed attempt at circumnavigating the world, in an attempt to find an alternative route to Nebskoslavia. He settled in the continent of Leifmyrr, which he named Šrodnas, referencing how there was a sea among the continent. Communication with the United Commonwealth proper was scarce, leading to Nova Žemja having an effectively independent foreign policy. Ignati II was succeeded by his son Menti. Full Article

Sandy's Insurrection
During Menti Korol's reign, Sandy Korol stated he has a claim to the throne of Nova Žemja, despite it not even having a throne, however he still claimed power, and amidst chaos that ensued when Ignati II disappeared, and Zardy was put as temporal Lord Protector, Sandy, being a promiment person in Rodinnbrok rallied help from it.

Siege of Zlatoport
Forces supporting Sandy's cause, and their reinforcements from Rodinnbrok, rushed towards the Zlatoport. The United Commonwealth units in place were overwhelmed, and the reinforcements from overseas didn't come on time.

In the war aftermath Sandy Korol got into power as new Lord Protector, initiating series of failed reforms.

Selling of western territories.
West of the Nova Zemja as a colony was undeveloped, thus there was made a decision to sell it to neighboring Rodinnbrok, (which later incorporated the rest of Nova Zemja). Rodinnbrok however never paid for those territories.

Rodinnbrok Incorporation
After the UC collapsed Nova Žemja had brief period of independence, but later got incorporated into Rodinnbrok, but with very wide autonomy, almost operating like it's own country, with exception of foreign relations.

Rodinnbrok Collapse
After Rodinnbrok collapsed, and let all of their provinces free, Nova Žemja became what it is today. An independent country.

Post-Rodinnbrok Era

Constitution Amendment
In the winter of 980, the constitution was finally drafted, and approved in a country-wide referendum, at the same time the project to connect towns of Nova Žemja by roads has been finished.

Red Spring of 983
During Spring of 983 ACA, a communist revolution sprung up led by Jan Gryc and Nada Cvetkovic. Things however quickly quieted down.

Korolian Pact Formation
At the beginning of 986, the efforts of Eastern Korolian Czardom and Novozemjan diplomats came to the height. The Korolian Pact, being an economic and cultural bloc was finally formed after 8 years of waiting (talks on it began in 978). With this, came also a new currency, the Korolska Krona (Korolian Crown), and many new opportunities to the nation.

The Reclaimation
As of 986 ACA, Rodinnbrokan government was already dissolved for almost a decade, and most of Rodinnbrok proper had already sunk beneath the ocean, however the western territories that were once Novozemjan didn't yet sink, thus a decision was made. On [tel:16/07/986 16/07/986] olive uniforms marched westward through what was once the western border of Nova Zemja. At the same time, on international arena, Nova Zemja staked claim to those lands.
