Lafros

Lafros, officially the Administration of Lafros, is a province in Dea Kaeseriás vé Kryvonea, in the continent of Leifmyrr. Lafros borders the nation of Samora. The original state was founded by DireWolf, in the region of Onthukhan.

First Settlement
DireWolf, a pirate from The Pirate State of Barbossa and a few other followers, settled in the Andlirian area. The settlement was named Lafros, which was a populated city state that had more people than the Andlirian Empire, squatted on Andlirian soil. Lafros also took in refugees from Crystalis, Simulami. The national motto, "Hunt for glory, Hunt for Lafros" or "Venari ad gloriam, Lafros ad venari" was adopted, and was used by all.

Annexation and Instability
Several weeks later, Lafros was fully annexed by Andliria with help from League of Vircon. The reason why it was annexed was because Lafros attempted to take over the People's Republic of Merconis in order to gain national legitimacy. Being annexed made the Lafrosian people quite unhappy with the Andlirian government which further weakened it. Unfortunately, DireWolf would die while fighting in the Valorant War, leaving the people without a king.

Coup and Establishment
For a short time, Shawsassin took over as king of Lafros, but a coup by Konstantinos Myers, Retrigot and with aid from Erikku Kunekari ended Shawsassin's rule, and Konstantinos was crowned as King of Lafros. When Andliria collapsed, Visio became the successor state. Konstantinos negotiated with Erikku of making Lafros a vassal state of Visio. It was agreed, and so Lafros was given territories in which it would control, such as the cities of Koenigsberg (Previously known as Liersburg) and Fort Onyxspire.

Flag Change
The flag of Lafros would be changed on January 3rd 2022, to make it more similar to Visio's flag.

Revolution and Declaration of Independence
On January 17th 2022, Lafros would officially announce its independence from Visio, in retaliation, Visio would declare war on Lafros which would spark the Lafros Independence War, officially supported by Merkonis. This would spark a domino effect, as more and more nations started to get involved, either officially or by sending volunteers. The first battle would take place in Merkonis, at The Battle of Perria. After the loss of the Second Battle of Perria, the people of Lafros would pack up everything that they could bring and flee on a large galleon waiting for them at the harbor.

A New Beginning
From there, the ship would head towards the De Vrijmasten Raden, where Konstantinos, would be appointed governor of a province for the Lafrosians. The province was named Lafros, to honor their heritage, and eventually they officially made the province their new home, a place to start again.
