The Kingdom of Polskon
Veldion history started when it was still Kingdom of Polskon. The kingdom itself was a self-proclaimed kingdom that was never recognized by any other nations but itself. It was a small kingdom of one city in the continent of Plagos. It was founded by SirHolyChicken and Duegy. SirHolyChicken or Pesto Poultrix was a Poultrian Chickenman from another realm to Rathnir that his people called Poultria. Poultrix left his homeland in search of adventure and found Rathnir. While traveling throughout Rathnir he found the Player Dug Korol-Zerkalo living in the nation of Viodoxa. Dug was a half human, half axolotl trader that was in the process of traveling throughout Rathnir in search of a home. Together the two teamed up and searched across Rathnir for a location for their homes. After ages of searching they landed on the shores of Plagos next to a mountain range. Here they created the town of Polskrige and the Kingdom of Polskon with SirHolyChicken and Duegy as a diarchal kingdom. It later changed, as Duegy stepped down, and it became a monarchy.

The city soon got a haven for immigrants, with refugees and tribal population joining it shortly after its foundation. Zartacla, adoptive son of Deithwein, who was owner of the nearby St. Deithwein Monastery, would be one of the habitants, as well as Yes Zerkalo.

Integration into Plagatea - Polskon under the First Plagatéan Empire
The Kingdom of Polskon did not last long and was dissolved on May 15th. It got part of the province of Czervoslavia, despite being effectively self-governing afterwards. The Plagatean government diverted immigrants towards the city, pushing its population count higher. When Glurak Ravdrac was washed ashore near Ieon, he was sent to Polskrige together with Yes, who would become his best friend in the next years. Other notable citizens of the time are DMO_craft, who later became a bandit, and Altaris, the builder of Mead Garden and Political Activist.

The City Council Movement
Shortly after joining, tension rose in the Kingdom. The government under Pesto I. Poultrix suffered from a lack of administration and the city was de-facto led by Yes Zerkalo, who wasn't able to lead the state entirely on his own, having to fulfill his duties as diplomat at the Plagatean Court as well. Newly joined citizens could not get a plot for their own home, resulting in poverty and homelessness amongst the populace. Three Players, Glurak G. Ravdrac, Werner and Altaris, founded the City Council Movement (CCM) as reaction. They believed that a man alone could not be able to lead a nation, petitioning for a council of ministers and a monthly elected Prime Minister. When the King ordered the people to build a bridge from Polskrige to the Outpost Dug Zerkalo had established on Dughold Mountain, the CCM saw a chance. When the citizens had assembled next to the building site, Glurak took the chance and decided to confront the king. Hearing the CCMs argumentation, Yes decided to switch sides and joined the protesters. Pesto Poultrix surrendered to the CCM, reduced to a mere representative of Veldion.

However, the movement was not entirely unopposed. A small, but well equipped elite of monarchists led by DMO_craft decided to attampt an assassination on Mr Yes, who they considered a traitor. The following panic resulted in the destruction of the old city plaza. Mr Yes was only slightly wounded and DMO was banished from the city. This was the beginning of the Bandit War period.

Republic of Veldion
The government of the republic is weak in the beginning. This is due to many people having left for the newly discovered New World, including Altaris and Werner. For the duration of three weeks it is led by a triumvirate of ministers, Glurak, Yes and Dug. During the time Polskrige is hit by multiple bandit attacks, launched from a nearby establish bandit camp. The writing of the Polskon Charta, the first constitution, was commenced by Glurak on June 26th. On July the 2nd, a scout from Polskrige is able to locate the camp, resulting in an attack against the bandits. The bandits, who turned out to be DMO_craft and W_alliss, were beaten decisively. DMO_craft, after switching sides again, is allowed to stay in Polskrige, still sabotaging in the underground. W_alliss was banned for hacking in the following. When the constitution was finally accepted by the king and the other ministers, Glurak was made provisional Prime Minister of Polskon, but keeping his position of Minister of Architecture. After Citizens could sign up for candidacy, the first election was held in the young republic. Dug Korol-Zerkalo, due to his larger popularity, won the election on July 10th. Glurak was less popular due to accusations of tyranny, as he was leader of the provisional government, which had not been elected democratically. The same day, after long negotiations, Polskon gains the status of province. In return, Veldion had to join the United Commonwealth.

The Second City of Polskon, Havenstad, was founded by Tyranno Van Krachtig and his brother Knightmare on July 18th, not knowing they had settled in Plagatean Territory. At this point, Polskons population was at its height, being the biggest Province in the entirety of Plagatea. The city joined Polskon soon after. Politically, the entrance of Havenstad into Polskon, was difficult. Not only did it require changes to the constitution, but also split the province into two different political parties: Bright, Mayor of Polskrige, and Knightmare joined together into a nationalist party, which was later dominated by Dictator Muddy, while the other side, Mr Yes, Tyranno and Glurak, formed a party focused on internal affairs and welfare system.
