Floria

The Kaizakanei vao Pvloria (Kingdom of Floria), known more commonly as Floria, overlooks the Nekkic Sea from the West Peninsula of Cymru, the southeasternmost continent in Rathnir. Once known as the Astronian Union and Augmentum Terra, Floria was founded by Astronomus in March of 2021. Its origins and rich history lie in the city of Rose, its modern-day capital.

The Kingdom has endured a number of trials and tribulations in its time. From tyrants, military coups, and subsummation into two separate nations, many hands have tugged at the seams of its rose petal flag. On the 21st of February, 2023, the Florian monarchy was restored under the Vörkish House of Höllenburg. With this, new legislation and sweeping reforms were passed to rapidly industrialize and bring the kingdom into the first world.

Rose
The nation's capital, Rose, is based on a broadly oriental architectural style, most notably seen in the Palace of the Emperor (Ńapapvmilo vao Öster), also known as the Blossoming Keep.

Azucena
The city of Azucena too formerly had oriental architecture, but was demolished and reconstructed in a Viennese style.

Culture
Floria's draws from the broad concepts of of Germanic and East Asian cultures and integrates them harmonically into its overarching culture. Its national aesthetic revolves around flowers and floral themes, thus inspiring its name.

National Structure
The Kingdom of Floria is a unitary state with a semi-constitutional monarchy. Its society is organized under a corporatist system inspired by the guilds of medieval times.

Foundation of Rose
When the travelers Astronomus and Mr Devus reach the shores of the western most peninsula of the Cymru continent they decided to stablish the first settlement named this land Rose out of the flower known for its red beauty but it's sharp spikes. The settlement became a province of the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa.

The Viodoxan Flower
Rose quickly began to grow in population and infrastructure due its growing economic based on fishing and mining and its unique architecture becoming the beacon of the west. Astronomus officially declared himself Emperor of the province and made the constitution of the province of Rose. The city received refugees from nations that were looking for a peaceful and prosperous place to live making a home within its walls. The Imperial Archons decided to change the name of the province to Augmentum Terra “Growth of the earth” the province also obtained the desert territory from its easter neighbor of Libertalia as a sign of friendship, land was gave to Heinrich val Oberstein, for his contribution of the as head builder of the province and head librarian of Viodoxa, he called this land Delphinium in honor of his mother making it household of the val Oberstain family. At the same time, due the necessity to improve the economy, Warwick Walterson founded the farmer town of Azucena outside of Rose, making it one of the biggest food suppliers of the entire nation. With the growing of the region and the necessity of more land, The Emperor, and the leader of Libertalia, Bean made the deal to give the lands of The Silvish provinces Which includes the cities Silvander, Maurun, and Askorn into Augmentum Terra with Danzig as its Governor.



The Withering of the Second Archonate
In the act of self-defense Viodoxa merged with Yimmu-Audal and Echaria to form the Triumvirate of Denumain with the purpose to ensure security. This union did not last long. One of the reasons was the tension between religious believers of Escharia and the people of Yimmu-Audal; And second the defeat in the battle of Sun’s Gate (Viodoxan colony in Eldham), exposing the weaknesses of this union and making it dissolve.

The neighbor province of Libertalia that refuse to be part of the Battle of Sun’s Gate and the construction of the town of Thebanii, on the land of Silvay, this resulted in a conflict between Regent Archon Danzig and the Libertalians. It is still unknow which side started the fight, and the massacre started, In one side the Archonate’s Army and in the other the Libertalian Resistance, the Florians and Libertalians will never forget that day. After the negotiation with the Archon Hazel McSpiegel, Bean Declared the Independece of Libertalia on October 20th, 2021. With Hazel McSpiegel resigning as Archoness and Blac and Yazov became the new Archons recognizing that bad state of the Archonate and decided to dissolve it and the provinces of Libertalia and Augmentum Terra gain their independece.

Reconstruction Efforts.
Ever since Heinrich's government has been toppled from it's regime and now Astronomus was back on the throne, one of the first of many things Astronomus has done with his power was to change the power of the Emperor of his constitution significantly. Making sure that democracy at merit is enforced into it's culture.

Another change is that he authorized the de-construction of the tower walls that was ruining the looks of Rose, as well as changes to the walls to make it more closer to it's culture.

After the walls were destroyed, Astronomus and MrDevus headed towards Delphinium where the last remaining stronghold of Heinrich's regime stand. After successfully kicking out his only child, They proceeded to place tnt all through-out the buildings the foundation and blown the entire e-state down all at once, leaving nothing but a pile of flames, and rubble. As such it Astronomus declares it a tradition that all new comers/future citizens must make one singular flame on delphinium. To remind everyone that regimes only make Flowers bloom brighter in the dark.

The Florian Revolution
With the return of Loic and his wishes to unify the continent, the emperor took the decision to join his side declaring war against the Third Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa and join the Archonal Union, nonetheless the decision was unpopular among the citizens who wanted to remain independent at all costs. When the emperor left the nation for second time The Council decided that Floria wouldn't be part of any other of this conflict and won't join the Archonal Union. With a diplomatic meeting with the Pirate Lord of Tortuga, Ulifer, The Council decided to sign a to become a protectorate of The Pirate Dominion of Tortuga that assured the Florian Independence at all costs. The emperor unhappy with this decision decided to come back to lead the nation and dissolved the council with the intentions to rule as absolute monarchy. The people tired of his decisions took over Rose and abolished the monarchy and stablished back the Council with the task to draft the constitution of the democratic nation that the florians always wanted with equality and freedom. The current goverment keeps working on the reconstruction projects with the construction of the new wall and the foundation of the new city of Wisteria by Jamie June.

The Flowered Jolly Roger
Due the rise of tensions in the continent due the Viodoxan Civil War and the fear of the emperor wanting to take back the control of the nation, The Council decided to appeal the third article of the treaty of Tortuga and temporally join them, making florian fifth teen territory in the pirate dominion, keeping the freedom to do diplomacy with other nations, and keep their culture and peaceful lifestyle. Until the florian name can shine again on the map

Stabilising The Country
The new government was keen on reform but some still skeptical like Napolean Chaiping, Democratic reforms took several meetings between Prime Minister Warwick, Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Fray06 and Internal Affairs Minister Napoleon with some input by Jamie June. Some of the reforms included abolishing the Astronomous Union, Creating a system that would be as democratic but stable as can be with Anti Corruption backups. Mr Devus was brought back on the scene by the government to discuss what to do next.

Talks of New Government
The Government met with Valondor to discuss it's diplomacy, ties, culture and government with Floria. The meeting comprised of Spades of Valondor, Prime Minister Warwick, Dr Fray06, Jamie June, Napoleon and Devus with small input from Iris. As talks where going on there was a proposition by Fray to unionise both countries which was shot down for the time being as both countries was too far apart. Valondor then finished by giving Floria an idea of a good Democratic Government called a Democratic Oligarchy which all parties agreed was an optimal choice as it proved to be an effective Democracy.

Start of the Second Resignation Crisis
Napoleon, Dr Fray06 and MrDevus sat down to talk about the structure of the government, while in talks Warwick resigned from office which many speculated it to be from increasing stress from the job, the three ran for office but decided to drop out after realising this is a good chance to start the Democratic Oligarchy and form a council. The three joined in a garden to discuss how they were to change it. The three moved to the palace which was declared as the council chambers. The three were getting the ball rolling when Warwick and Jamie appeared. The three approached him asking for the claims which Warwick ignored and went to get drunk, after arguing and the three eventually demanding that Fray gets Libertalia, MrDevus gets Rose and the other two are split amongst the others in the council of akozas. Warwick then gave Rose to Fray, Delphinium to MrDevus and kept the two then ignored the threes confusion which prompted MrDevus and Napoleon to yell at Warwick and chase him out with swords while Jamie and Fray followed from behind. The chase ended up in Azucena where a small confrontation happened with Devus taking Warwicks head and Jamie killing Devus. Warwick then untrusted MrDevus, Fray and Napoleon from the lands of Libertalia and Azucena.

In search of a resolve
Shortly after this happened Warwick and Jamie left Floria, still keeping the claims which prompted the Akozas to scout out Azucena and Libertalia, seeing its beauty they returned home and slept with hopes of finding a resolve to this issue.

Spades and Fray met up to discuss the issue of the claims, bringing Warwick to join where they discussed a settlement, one week will be given for Warwick to move out and give the claims back. A resolve was met peacefully thanks to Valondor.

Diplomacy
However though his most biggest acheivement diplomatic wise is the annexation of Libertalia. Libertalia is known to be very isolationist so Astronomus convincing the Libertalian people, Bean the leader of Libertalia and the cities of Libertalia to join his nation. This move was monumentous for the kingdom of floria as new resources and new opportunities risen up.

As Astronomous was opening up to the possiblities of diplomacy as Dr_Fray06 arrived on Floria. Astronomous gave Fray the job of Foreign Affairs Minister and tasked him on making Floria stand on the world stage. Fray went on to talk to many nations with notable examples being Tortuga, Uladarash,Tulipia which became Valondor and Yimmu - Audal. Connections were made world wide and brought Floria as a good friend to many.
