Government
The United Burgamerian Socialist Republic (UBSR) is a democratic socialist state located on the eastern continent of Sparwood. The government is made up of a single executive branch that consists of the Office of the General Secretary, Commissar Counsil, and the Politburo. All decisions regarding foreign affairs and important domestic issues are made and must be approved by the General Secretary. Policies regarding day to day life and smaller projects are left to the Commissars and General Assembly.

Territory
The UBSR is located in the Icy Wasteland of the eastern continent of Sparwood. It was located south of Vraelea, Arxella and Fjellheim. It is west of Mudroktupei and Frosmyre. The capital of the UBSR is Duragrad.

Founding
The predecessor to the UBSR was originally founded as a small mining outpost for an empire lost to record. Located in the iron-rich plains of Sparwood, the mining operation quickly grew in scale and a small town was established close to the mine in order to house the growing population. Largely lawless, the colony eventually attracted rebels looking to escape the harsh laws of the empire which led to a significant anti-imperialist sentiment and culture to develop in the town and surrounding areas.

Great Cataclysm
The distinct lack of safety regulations in the iron mine eventually led to the build-up of highly flammable gas in the lower chambers that ignited, starting the Great Collapse. This explosion destroyed the mine and most of the surrounding town, severely damaging necessary mining equipment and buildings, such as hospitals and schools. The town was eventually deemed unsafe for continuous habitation after survivors began showing early signs of radiation poisoning, causing the survivors to immigrate south in search of a new settlement location.

New Age
The survivors of the Great Cataclysm eventually bound together and started an emergency settlement to the south on the shores of an icy lake. The settlement began having issues with the sub-zero temperatures and high winds of the icy wastes and began to implement a plan with the remaining miners. With the salvaged mining equipment saved by the townsfolk, the survivors began digging a giant hole in the ground of the wasteland in a bid to escape the freezing temperatures and high winds of the surface. When finished, this hole provided enough shelter for the survivors to build a city with thriving industry that provided enough heat to keep the city warm. The city was promptly named Duragrad after the tested durability of its inhabitants and the UBSR was officially founded. Totalitarian socialism was preferred in this New Age to help keep order among a fragile populace and to help with the even distribution of scarce resources.

Founding of the Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris
Possibly due to the Marleybone Dispute, in an effort to increase the autonomy of its member states and be more democratic, the UBSR was reformed by decentralizing into the Egalitarian Commonwealth of Palaris. The new nation promised to uphold its values of peaceful cooperation and equality for all.

The Yellow Terror (Palaris)
After the announcement of the Bardonian World Conquest, Palaris and her allies rallied together in one of the Bardonian cities. They blew up walls, historic sites, among many other things. In retaliation the leader of Bardonia created a paramilitary organization to colonialize Palaris and systematically destroy all her cities with former Bardonian senators and soldiers.

The cities of Marleybone, Jamestown, Duragrad, and many others were wiped off the map in a period of a few weeks. Many other towns were created by the paramilitary organization and their leader denounced all Palaris citizens, calling them rebels. Palaris' population flopped to half a dozen men. The biggest city that was impacted was Marleybone, 19 people in it quitting Rathnir, one being left.

Reuniting of UBSR (March 2021)
On a cold March evening a rebel faction of Palaris, along with some comrades of other nations took hold of a small plot of land outside of Duragrad (the capital) and prepared to march. The people of Palaris swiftly listened to the UBSR Forces and gave leadership of Palaris to Gamersgaming, also known as Point. He quickly turned the nation into the UBSR, and couped the previous leader, CommieCon in two hours.

In the next days Gamersgaming got in contact with local squatters within his territory and integrated them back into the UBSR as new districts. Now UBSR lives in peace on Sparwood, only looking to expand its industrial and economic capabilities.

Elections (May 2021)
After weeks of deteriorating health conditions and the unstable cognitive condition of General Secretary Point, a new General Secretary was voted upon. After weeks of voting and debate within the supreme halls of the cities and the cold outback of UBSR, a new leader of UBSR was chosen, Lpreston. Under his new leadership he promised a strong military and more active playerbase within the region of Sparwood. After this election Point was found on the floor of his apartment convulsing, with blue liquid coming out of his orephuses and was moved to Marleybone to be examined and hopefully cured.

Military Reforms (May 2021)
As promised by the new leader of the UBSR, a new leader of the offensive and defensive military branches were voted on and more training took place. The previous leader of both military branches, Sinkez, was also impeached and removed from his position due to inactivity and he was replaced by Soodiez, who formed the more decentralised and democratic Army Council. Feroner led the offensive army, Bulungus led the defensive army, FigurativeGarbage ran checks on the state of the army's supply in every town and Soodiez was dubbed the Red General.

The Spears of Duragrad
The Spears of Duragrad refer to the Ice Spikes biome situated in the western part of Duragrad. The complex and sinuous formations made of Blue Ice can often look like faces or phallic objects, depending on the angle. This makes venturing through the area difficult, although humorous at times.

The Spears are a cultural symbol for citizens; It's a great instance of how the cold climate of Burgamere is sharp, dangerous and unforgiving, but also beautiful and worth to be protected. Extracting any Blue Ice from the spikes requires a formal requisition to the State, and rules for preservation are strictly enforced. It's in the midst of the spikes that one can find the ongoing construction site of the Library of Alicia, founded in May, 2021.

The Red Spears
The Red Spears are ice spikes, similar to the Spears of Duragrad, around the city of Luscovy and close to Certaria. They come in usually teardrop formation and have several large towers dotted around. The ice spikes are older than the city of Luscovy itself.

The Warped Forest
The Warped Forest is an anomalous region that appeared after Entropy's defeat. It is characterised by blue grass and pulsating red trees with purple leaves. It is nearby the town of Syrgorod and is directly outside NewPanem. Several islands and a beach had become infected with the warp, turning sand into endstone and crystallising a house nearby, turning it to quartz. There was a worry that the warp may spread so there is a trench surrounding the Warped Forest, protecting the nearby ground from the corruption.

New Territories
After a population boom due to immigration and natural population growth, the Union expanded to several areas of key interest. The city of Morsakya Bay was founded on a peninsula in the Southern Bay in order to take advantage of natural trade routes and good farming conditions. The Union also expanded into the southern Taiga area when Dargaardian immigrants established multiple cities in the area. The rest of the icy plains were also claimed in order to prevent the two new territories from becoming disconnected from one another.

The Kelmar Union used to be in Akratia [north of Morsakya bay] which then collapsed after the population had an emigration crisis with the players leaving the country. The UBSR then proceeded under the leadership of Point de Guard annexed the lands which then made the area much larger. This is due to him wanting to secure the union.

Posavarian Dispute
A neighbor nation, the Republic of Posavaria, contacted the Union diplomats to convey a complaint that the fishing city of Moraskya Bay had been founded on land owned by Posavaria. After heated discussions and Posavaria's refusal to concede any land, negotiations stalled and hostilities ensued. A statement was made by the Chief Posavarian Diplomat that remaining on the land would be an act of war against the Republic while a common war tactic was being deployed to surround the UBSR town and block off any attempts at connecting the city to the rest of the Union. The General Secretary of the Union responded by leveraging the strength and capabilities of the UBSR and CSCS military to broker a peace deal between the two nations. Posavaria ceded their claims on the land to the Union and tensions relaxed between the two nations, ending the Posavarian Dispute.

4/20 Food Crisis
In April of 2021, a food crisis broke out in the Union. Due to a population boom, as well as the expectation of war with the Ferrymen, agriculture was neglected. Food had to be rationed for several days until production was reinvigorated.

Annexation of Certaria
Following the resolution of the Treaty of Istanboulder, lands to the south of UBSR were split between the regional nations. The UBSR was granted the town of Certaria and former town of New Flagstaff, included with the redwood forest to the west.

Certarians were integrated as full UBSR citizens, and the city retains much of it's previously enjoyed autonomy.

Industrialization Period
As nationalist sentiment grew, a build up of infrastructure and Red Army assets began on the southern border. Citizens took it upon themselves to construct a large canal, known as the Red Line, through the Certaria River. Highways and other public works were built to connect  all UBSR cities. When Lpreston took control of the UBSR, he continued the push for industrialisation. 3 gargantuan projects were planned in Marleybone, Syrgorod and Duragrad. Marleybone is the closest to completion and is creating The Forge. Syrgorod is next to complete their work on making Femboy Farm, likely to be the largest farm in Rathnir. Duragrad is planning a Grand Assembly to rival any other nations governmental buildings.

Continuing the industrial explansion under Lpreston, the cities of Marleybone, Syrgorod and Duragrad planned huge projects. The Forge in Marleybone consists of mass amounts of furnaces for xp and production. Femboy Farm in Syrgorod promises to be the biggest farm in Rathnir, with potatos growing from bedrock to the sky limit. The final project in Duragrad was a national assembly hall to rival any other government building in Rathnir. These projects are all set to be completed at different times and so far only The Forge is close to completion

Boomtown of Stadt
Stadt was founded 4/23/2021 on the ruins of a Bardonian colony.

Shortly after founding the town, Stadt experienced a substantial population boom, it's location at the heart of the Eastern bay makes it ideal for seafaring trade and travel.

Stadt is a major exporter of fish, alcohol, and sugar cane throughout the Union and allied cities

Charon Referendum
After the threat of constant invasion for weeks on end Charon decided to hold a vote on to join the UBSR or not. 80% of people within the Charon Union (pretty much alot of them are from the ubsr) decided to vote to join. Now UBSR welcomes in the cities of Posopolis, Saint Gibersburg, and Mengjing (along with many more) into the United Union.
