Empire of Boscova

The Boscovan Kingdom was formed on May 26th,2021 along with the publication of Eldham and the settlement Stonewoodbeing created, while the Boscovan Empire was declared on July 1st, 2021 with the formation of it's two vassal states; Kingdom of Millenia (Originally the Imperium Millennium) and the Kingdom of the Corvox islands (Originally the United islands of the Corvox).

The First Boscovan Empire (Current)
Once the Empire was declared on July 1st, 2021, The First King (now crowned Emperor) immediately re-organized the governance of the old kingdom. But due to the size of the population after the Jabal Crisis, it left him to not do much since there was no Parliament during the old kingdom, but the only change he did after the rise of the Empire was to turn it into a Diarchy so that power would not be trusted into one man, The First King trusted the Second Emperor because he was a trusted friend and supporter. Shortly after the coronation of the Second Emperor, the First King announced the creation of the Provisional Parliament of the Boscovan Empire, he performed this action because he was a firm supporter of power to the people. The Parliament has yet to be built

The First Kingdom of Boscova
At the day of Eldham's release, CanadianOutcast (The First King) had spawned in the desert east of Boscova and immediately moved west to get his bearings. After he entered an already looted desert temple, he moved to the tree line and emerged to see the already set up city of Nychtapoli. He moved south so that he could go far away from Nychtapoli, but when the First King came upon a trench, he immediately carved a stairway from the side of the trench and built the first house that would be the first building of Stonewood.

A day or se went by when the First King came into contact with the leader of Nychtapoli (Based Macedonian) who told him to move, but the First King was determined to stay in Stonewood and brokered a deal with Nychtapoli,

Demands from Nychtapoli:


 * give up Snakewood (a mining town colose to the cove)
 * search the local lands to find neighboring nations

Offer from Nychtapoli:


 * keep the location of stonewood
 * recognize Boscova as an independent state

With this deal, came the the official independence of the Kingdom of Boscova and the discovery of Khozican to the far south. With this peace settled and the borders of the first kingdom drawn, one more settlement was set up at the farthest point of the kingdom, Worldend.

The age of Occupation
After a few days attempting to make a full and complete map of the Kingdom (Picture shown below), Nychtapoli contacted the First King to inform him that the Kingdom of Jabal wanted to move Stonewood and the Kingdom of Boscova since they have claimed all of boscova's land. I got contact of the King of Jabal at the time (Nadir) by a previous conversation with him addressing a economic union, we conversed for a while before I agreed to join Jabal as a Nobel because I didn't want to leave Stonewood and Jabal had greater numbers than Boscova. The era began when the First King agreed to the occupation to be spared the invasion.

Afterwards, the First King moved to the Jabalian capital of Ygomir to enact revenge powered by his tainted mind. He concluded that blowing up the King's house to satisfy his anger, this plan was getting closer and closer to completion by the days and dedicated his resources to the cause. At this time, he formed the U.M.A (United Military Alliance) to ensure that the homes of all that decents from New Awm (Home of Drakae and Boscova), he consecrated the U.M.A's presence in Eldham by building the Intelligence for New Rathnir Militaries (I.N.R.M) on the cliff side and placing all of his plans of revenge in the I.N.R.M base. When the day of revenge was there, the explosives were placed underneath the King's house and were ignited to no result. It was apparent that explosions were not allowed in Ygomir, and this caused the First King to flee back to Stonewood and to prepare a siege of Ygomir. But as the First King was preapring for war, he was contacted by the leader of another wrongfully occupied nation, Khozican. And such, the events of the Jabal Crisis took place.

The Second Kingdom of Boscova
After the actions of the Jabal Crisis, Boscovan independence was secure and safe. With this newly acquired independence, Boscova started it's path to recovery. It had created a vassal state south of drakae called the Kingdom of Millennia, the location was not by chance. Now the four islands that the Kingdom of Corvox (vassal state of Boscova) are by coincidence. Other than the creation of the two vassal states and the construction of Dirtstone island was the only action partaken by the First Kingdom of Boscova, but the Empire did immediate action and took Boscova down the path of glory and renown.

The First Boscovan Empire
The empire took action immediately once it was declared by making it into a diarchy, with the Second Emperor as his... well... second emperor of the Empire of Boscova. They now rule the empire as they wait for more people to join the empire and wait for the formal creation of the Boscovan Imperial Parliament.

Law
When stepping foot in nation of Bardonia, it is expected for all to abide to the Bardonian Law.

During the Third Republic, a national court would see to the trial of criminals as per the Bardonian Law. A judge would be appointed by the senate monthly to oversee all trials for that month.

During the First Empire, The Supreme Chancellor judged cases or hands picked a judge for the trial, if one is offered. The option of trial by combat is always viable, although The Supreme Chancellor decides the type of combat, the gear, the opponents(s), and the arena. If any character dies in a Bardonian trial by combat it counts as a character death.

During the Second Empire, a lawyer and fair trial was always offered although the Emperor was still the ultimate authority.

Culture
In Bardonia you may see masses of Dandelions gathered about in it's towns, Bardonians often collect any dandelion they come across and plants them in their towns or near their roads. The Dandelions are very important to Bardonia and are believed to represent something different to each Bardonian. Bardonians used to refer to themselves as a fishing nation pre-Golden War and made sure each city was stocked with stacks of fish. The Bardonian Empire changed this description and now describes themselves as "The greatest military nation in Rathnir". Bardonians are known to be easy going to their allies. The cultural heritage of Bardonia is seen in their combat finesse, perfecting the art of combat to a repetitive motion and a flexible mind. The Bardonians often perform combat skirmishes amongst each other in preparations of bigger wars. Among their battle preparations is the Bardonian Defense which they used against Uldarash in The Great Golden War where they focus on keeping attackers out and held back by natural blockades, berry bushes, and campfires while they pick them off with bows or flank attackers from behind.

Most Bardonians are known to have a natural lust towards fighting and war, even the builders or farmers can be entranced by Bardonian war culture and leave their cities to participate in a war or raid.

The cultural effects of Bardonian contribution to the arts is far-reaching. Even in music, Bardonians have spearheaded the Rathnir music scene with the release of the debut music disc by B.W.A., "Straight Outta The Peak", which caused international attention due to its salacious lyrics.

The Chancellor introduced The Bardonian Cha Cha Slide during the 1st Empire, he sang the movements and the Bardonians followed. The Bardonian Cha Cha Slide represents Bardonia's trust in their leader and their coordination with each other, on the dance floor and on the battlefield.

Bardonian Holidays and Festivals
Bardonia has a list of Holidays and Festivals that they celebrate on multiple occasions:

Book and Quil Day: On the 3rd of every month Bardonians are requested to write a book with a minimum of 10 pages. A single writable book is usually provided by government figures if requested. If a Bardonian is caught on this day without a book and quil in their inventory, they will be laughed at and called PvP brain by other Bardonians. Near the end of the day the Emperor will read through the books and pick their favorite, who will normally receive an award.

Beef Wellington Day: On the 14th of every month the Bardonians can't consume anything except bread and steak, this includes alcohol and potions. They will play mind games with each other on this day including the cultural knee breaking game of 6D Chess Kneesweeper.

Dandelion Day: On the 26th of every month Bardonians visit a Dandelion shrine or temple, then proceed to place 20 or more dandelions near said shrine. This is important as it's said on this day the dandelion's abilities to amplify are doubled. If this isn't done, it's said to bring bad luck to the Bardonian and their town/city.

The Dandelion Festival: On a randomly selected day the Emperor chooses, usually before a great war or during a great period of peace, a Dandelion Festival will be held. The Dandelion Festival usually starts with a feast, then somewhere in the middle is the Bardonian Drunken Fight Pit, and it ends off with the Bardonian Cha Cha Slide which is sang by the Emperor themselves.

Provinces and Vassals of the Boscovan Emire

 * The Kingdom of Boscova (Provinces below)
 * Heartland
 * Bayside
 * The Kingdom of Millenia
 * The Kingdom of Corvox





The Trillium Alliance
Bardonia was one of the 3 entities that had formed The Trillium Alliance and were described as "The Muscle" of the alliance. The Trillium has since disbanded.

Provincial/District representation
Provinces and Districts are different. Districts are plots of land close to towns that have representation. Whilst provinces are larger parts of land that are made out of different districts. Although provincial representatives have a higher ranking over district representatives they only have jurisdiction within their own province. This is same with district representatives and average citizens. Once a representative of a district or province you will gain immediate communication with the Grand council and Emperor. Provinces can also be merged with other provinces to create more centralized governing, while new provinces can also be formed when the power of the central government wants to expand it's power. An example can be the former province of Solanum, it formed when multiple citizens decided that the province of Bardonia was inactive so a new province was designed to take control of a large portion of the western parts to make the south more active. But after the Ferrymen war the province once again became inactive so the entire province went to New Dorasterrock.

The Great Golden War / The Poo War
Bardonia was the defenders of Bardonia City against the attacking armies of The Empire of Uldarash. Bardonia claimed a crushing victory and used the victory to assert themselves on the world stage. Many say The Great Golden War was one of the best wars that have been fought in Rathnir.

The Battle of The Last Bastion
Bardonia on behalf of the Trillium declared war against The Last Bastion which was being inhabited by bandits in an attempt to recover it for Yimmu-Audal and hopes to decrease bandit population. The bastion was destroyed by the bandits and although Bardonia won the battle with a decisive victory, they suffered some loss to their armories and Ezexus's personal vault which was looted using glitch exploits by TheRealJay2.

The Bardonian-Rextopian Wars
Bardonia declared war and wiped out Rextopia due to their overwhelming levels of toxicity. See Rextown for details.

The Coalition War
Bardonia fought on behalf of the Trillium during the coalition war. All 5 senators of The Bardonian 2nd Republic lead the Trillium troops in this first world war. Ezexus, and BacktotheHub lead the attacking party, while Unic0rnb0i, Moyye, and Tzseu lead the defending party. The Trillium proved they were stronger than a united Rathnir when they struck the last blow to the Coalition and gained the land of Yimmu-Audal.

The Dandelion War
Bardonia had a key hand in the events of the Dandelion War which contained different battles, conflicts, and resolutions.

Battle of Bardonian Fort Lee
On April 18th 5 bandits known as the Ferrymen raided New Dorasterrock killing a few and managing to escape with some gear stolen and camped outside the walls, later a group of 6 Bardonian soldiers gathered on the walls and prepared for a counter attack. The troops jumped down after Crezyman and Mobius charged down to give chase to the Ferrymen. The fighting began at the construction zone for Bardonian Fort Lee where fighting was intense with cobwebs being placed all over by the Ferrymen to slow down the Bardonian charge, although the Bardonians lost 4 of their 6 troops they managed to force the Ferrymen into retreat and killed 3 of the 5 and managing to retrieve a large portion of their gear. But sadly this was only going to be a skirmish compared to what was about to happen next.

First battle of Istanboulder
In retaliation the member states of the Anti Bandit League rallied their forces as they prepared for battle against the Ferrymen. In the first attack/raid on the Ferrymen base at the ruins of Istandboulder. In this battle multiple Sewer Mafia members and several Niedene Spirits lead a raid on the Ferrymen tower at Istanboulder using only stone axes and wielding no armor except the skin of Greentomato in honour of him. Although all of the attackers were quickly defeated and killed many Ferrymen reported to have died or have weakened armor. Soon after the first engagement, words of an upcoming war declaration from The Ferrymen on Bardonia spread quickly. As a response to the hearsay, choochie15, a citizen of Vraelea, was requested to claim a Dalatra's Ring around The Ferrymen's tower by Mobius, the leader of The Anti-Bandit League and Grand Lieutenant of Bardonia, and Chancellor Uni. The funds were sent from the Bardonian treasury and not long after, a claimed ring encircled The Ferrymen and their tower. Thanks to the distraction caused by the Sewer Mafia and attention to building on their own land, the Ferrymen did not notice this. Before Bardonia could accept or create a war request of their own, a lands war was declared out of nowhere by ViewedMarquis, Theios-Essukdal's Grand Bashar, with the land of Jirn. This influenced a meeting that was being hosted by Uni at the time to switch from a talk of tactics to a rallying call of war. Nations agreed to unite under a single banner for this next upcoming battle which would decide Rathnir's future. In response to this, the Ferrymen began to prepare for the upcoming battle. An advertisement was placed calling for enlistment into their ranks, offering looted gear to those who joined. Their ranks more than doubled on the eve of the battle. A wall and other defensive structures were added around their original tower.

Second battle of Istanboulder
On 4/20, at 7:53 EST, the battle of Istanboulder commenced. The Coalition of Bardonia, TE, Uldarash, Viodoxa, Aurlûnor, and many more, gathered in a small stonebrick fort to the southeast of the Ferrymen fort, a large structure of netherrack and wood. Unic0rnb0i organized the fighters into 4 groups of 5-10 people each, as it was noticed from the Ferrymen's youtube that they'd often lure people into groups of 4-5. The Ferrymen brought more players from wherever they come from to assist in the defense. When the war started, the coalition waited for about 30 minutes before attacking. Many Ferrymen sat between their fort and the coalition outpost, one with a large herd of angry dogs. The coalition eventually attacked out, they encircled the fort, and many minor skirmishes occurred. The first large exchange happened in front of the front gate of the fort, which was left open by the Ferrymen, but the attackers never forced their way inside, and the Ferrymen placed blocks in front of the gates to block their way. They broke off more. The longest chase of the battle happened with The60th, who was chased by many soldiers until he was cornered in a river and killed. The coalition sustained many more deaths at the hands of the smaller force of Ferrymen. There was significant fighting in the forest to the north, northeast, and to the south. The battle was won by the Ferrymen who drove back the Coalition. But sadly Unic0rnb0i who was the leader of Bardonia perished as the Ferrymen chased him down and killed him.

Flight from Bardonia - The Aftermath of The Second battle of Istanboulder
After the dramatic sequence of events at Istanboulder and the battle against the Ferrymen the Bardonian troops returned home grieving for the loss of their chancellor. The former president Jacw becomes the new chancellor and declares Bardonia no longer a Empire but instead a coalition of multiple provinces and city states, he abdicates afterwards for Uni's son Elevenmantis become the new chancellor of Bardonia. But 5 minutes after Eleven's coronation a swift coup d'etat by Mobius that kills Eleven and he is crowned Emperor of Bardonia instead. Soon many cities and provinces including Auron's peak and its surrounding areas, New Dorasterrock and it's province, Helian kingdom and many colonies declare independence from the weakened Bardonia.

Many believed at the time that April 20th, 2021 was Bardonia's last day as a true empire although they have now been proved otherwise.

Rebirth
After the flight from Bardonia, many provinces such as Andorn, New Dorasterrock and other former territories eventually return to Bardonia. This sudden return allows Bardonia to function again properly. With Mobius being crowned Emperor, the power vaccum that was once there had been put out. The Emperor brought stability in a time where it was much needed. Towns would begin to flourish as new citizens had joined. After the ban of 36 Ferrymen members there has been relative peace in Bardonia.
