Langlade

Langlade, officially the Second Republic of Langlade, also referred as Mainland of Langlade, is a Pirate Republic located in both Arsine and Astios, South of the Xelon Straits, and between the Supreme Trade Republic and the Federation of Fortistan. The Second Regime ruled by the pirates and it's only captain was Exited Dellwood.

Foundation of the Republic
Knowone and Exited founded Vasenkyo (renamed Santochi later on) as their first ever settlement. Exited settled on the southern banks of the Xelon Straits while Knowone settled on the North, ruling both sides together. After Vasenkyo expanded and developped, conflicts between Exited and Knowone began, and Exited seperated each settlement by founding the First Republic of Langlade. (07/30/2021, 77 TE)

Unlike Vasenkyo, Langlade was a representative democratic state, meaning they didn't have aristocracy and a monarch. The democratic nature of the nation attracted more people than in its technocratic neighbour, resulting Langlade growing faster than Santochi.

First Langladian-Kunese War
On August 5th, 2021, right before dawn, Kun soldiers from Santochi attacked Langlade, killing people and raiding the town. Seeing this, ImReallyExited denounced Knowone Typhus, hired many groups of mercenaries and immediately declared war on Santochi. The war consisted of two battles, The first battle happened on the Langladian coastlines, Santoxi soldiers were decimated trying to cross the straits, resulting in a decisive victory for Langlade. For the second battle, ImReallyExited wanted to end the war swiftly and occupy all of Santochi, however, the Kunese Army held their ground on their part of strait, and the mercenaries were forced to retreat. Following these events, ImReallyExited and Knowone agreed to a peace. After some discussions, the Treaty of Bakra was signed in Vasenkyo, and Langlade was formally recognized as independent, making Langlade a Free City State. After the war, Langlade held its second election. Erupto Tarnokku replaced Vanuxx as the Prime Minister, Jakon Snakoza became the Minister of Interior, while ImReallyExited was elected president once more.

Opening of the Parliament
ImReallyExited saw that Langladians were growing more populous, and he wanted to create more elected high-ranking positions for his people, he therefore began working on a new systel. He wanted to give more power to the State, and came up with an oligarchic parliamentary system. Jakon Snakoza was tasked with building the Senate building, and several Senators were elected. With the opening of the Parliament, the First Republic was truly established. However, Exited decided that Parliament could not actually act before the fourth elections.

Second Langladian-Kunese War
On September 17th, 2021, two days before the third election, a group of people in Santochi decided that to provoke ImReallyExited by killing his horse Roach. The strategy was successful, as he declared war on Santochi. ImReallyExited thought that winning the war would greatly boost his popularity, thus winning him the elections once again. He therefore assembled an army and hired as many mercenaries as possible to try and crush Santochi. His plan seemed successful until the intervention of Ravenguard. They didn't want any trouble in their backyard,and sent Langlade an ultimatum to stop te war. ImReallyExited decided to deny the ultimatum, resulting with Ravenguard helping Santochi.

On September 18th, 2021 Exited really needed help with the war, so he sought help from the Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire to the north and went to see TheOtakuKaiser in Silbern. However, the emperor didn't want to actively participate in the war, and only promised to send some equipment.

The next day, Exited announced that elections would be delayed due to the war with Santochi. At dawn, some Santoxi and Ravenguardian soldiers set foot in the city and the melee combat began, Langladians unexpectedly managed to push the enemies back to the shore, resulting in Langlade winning the initial skirmish. However, after that, the mercenaries who were supposed to serve on the Langladian side were intimidated to stop helping the city-state. Having not enough manpower left to launch the invasion of Vasenkyo, Langlade had no choice but to stop the war.

Langlade's defeat put a heavy toll on Exited, who was already sick. He decided not to run for president in the fourth election, and Vanuxx was elected in his place. However, he decided to step down to help his captain, and Erupto Tarnokku became president. After the war, Ravenguard had demanded that Langlade was formally annexed, and seeing that his country was left with almost no military commander, Erupto's first decision was to accept the ultimatum, marking the end of the First Republic, all the while trying to normalize relations with Santochi.

Second Republic
On January 29th, 2024 (305 TE), Exited, who went in exile after the creation of the Confederation of Chelon, returned to his home city, but the thriving metropolis he used to know was only a shadow of his former self, looted and partially destroyed by bandit raids. He decided to start rebuilding the nation, he reinstated himself as mayor with no one holding enough significance to contest him, then started to work on rebuilding the city.

The very next day, Exited proclaimed the Second Republic of Langlade, making it an independent city-state again. He tried to revive the nation by recruiting more people. He spent days, fishing, brewing wine and telling his adventures to the strangers around him. Many visitors came to the Langlade to see its history and architecture. He was later joined by one of Erupto Tarnokku's descendent, who helped him seize Vasenkyo, doubling the de facto landmass of the country. After Eldham's recessional with the War of the Comet, the Republic still stands proudly to these days.
