Kingdom of Hussaria





Overview
The Kingdom of Hussaria (pronounced Hoo-sar-ee-uh) is a secluded nation in the Katsura region of Eldham. Her entire border to the north and east is shared with Ashai; To the south, the nations of Redoriv, Sylvania, and Forva are nearby. It is governed by Sasha Korol.

The culture of Hussaria is centered around horses. They are a vital lifeline of trade and travel to and from the peninsula, due to it's seclusive nature. Boating and fishing have taken prominent roles due to a lack of traditional hunting game on land, and the growth of the Anglist belief in the peninsula.

Early History
The entirety of the peninsula was united in Nova Regna in late June of 2021. Before this, the Hussarian people were a collection of different tribes from around the region. They frequently fought against each other in continuous attempts to take full control of the region. Meanwhile, the Poth migration to the west began. They sailed and navigated all through Eldham's rivers. A ship known as the "Aŋlɛtɛpi" hit an iceberg and ran aground along one of Hussaria's eastern rivers, the survivors quickly set up camp; But it wasn't long until members of the Y'hesias tribe noticed the smokestack coming from a fire. Some scouts of the tribe went to investigate and met with the Poths. Some Poths were killed, and the rest were kidnapped and brought to the Chief. The Chief houses and fed the travelers, until a translator could learn how to speak their language. The Poths ended up joining the clan, and tought them Pothic technological advances in Fishing, Hunting, and Combat. The Poths were well orated and were able to get the Y'hesia tribe and the Yerem tribe to unite all of the South. The two tribes began construction of the city of Hussarias, which would become the capitol of the Kingdom of Hussaria later on. The Hussarians would continue to expand northward, getting rid of villages and small tribes.

Donfuer & The Battle of Green Tower
In early September, the city of Carthroe was founded by a Hussarian by the name of Atrovah. This city flourished alongside Hussarias. Around this time a new king was given the crown of Nova Regna: A man named D_loaded. He renamed Nova Regna to Donfuer and named Carthroe the capitol city while Hussarias was seen as a small town with little importance. It was decided the city wouldn't be represented in the government of Donfuer. This angered the citizens of Hussarias and Carthroe. In addition to this, Hussarias became the target of anti-rattist raiders during the Crusades against Ratism. A sizable force of these raiders attacked Hussarias in September in what became known as The Battle of Green Tower, due to the green siege tower that was used by the raiders. Despite many casualties, the outnumbered defenders held the wall. A memorial was built to honor their sacrifice. Donfuer passed the attack off as nothing, which further lead to anti-Donfuerian sentiment in both Hussarias and Carthroe. It contributed to the already brewing idea of Hussarian civil liberty and freedom.

The First Hussarian Revolution
On October 7th, 2021 Hussarias and Carthroe declared their independence as the Kingdom of Hussaria, with Arnelious as their Huzar (king) and Roaster as their Viceroy. Donfuer refused to let Hussaria become independent, and began preparation for war.

The newly formed kingdom was supported by Asria, whom Hussaria called upon due to helping them with a coup d'etat that happened a few years earlier. Donfuer was supported by the Northern Lights alliance. The war only consisted of a few light skirmishes. The ratio of battles won to lost was near even and each battle proved to be costly and indecisive. Facing enormous pressure from the Northern Lights alliance, however, Hussaria soon agreed to pay 50,000$ to establish their nation, but Hussaria was unable to negotiate for Carthroe, which would remain in Donfuer with Hussarians still living in it; A cause for future tensions among the two nations.

Continued Tensions & The Carthroe Uprising
In November, the capitol city of Hussarias was sacked by a horde of barbarians from the north. The city, lost nearly all of their resources. Despite this, in December, the Hussarians were able to fully recover. The village of Thorpecove began to develop as finishing touches were made to the capitol. Because of an immigration boom to capture the new market, December was a period of growth for Hussaria. Along with Thorpecove, Reothadh began construction. Hussaria would soon join the League of the Setting Sun (LSS), an alliance consisting of nearby nations to attempt to scare empires away from invading the group.

During this time, Allucard Tepes, the mayor of Carthroe, began an operation to declare independence from Donfuer. In one month, it was decided that preparations were finished, and a Donfuer recieved a Communique that Carthroe was leaving. Hussaria and the LSS declared their support for Carthroe immediately after. Over the next two weeks there were many attempts for diplomacy between Carthroe and Donfuer; In these meetings, Allucard Tepes was offered several agreements which publicly, were thought to be favorable and desirable. Allucard, however; Refused these offers. Allucard quickly lost support from his allies and citizens, The LSS rescinded recognition and support for the uprising, There was a mass exodus of citizens that fled north, To Asria, and south, to Hussaria. The conflict was over. Donfuer quickly sent garrisons of soldiers into the city to reaffirm their control.

After Donfuer had secured Carthroe and expanded the fortified city of Stolas, Hussaria began construction of Fort Oberstyre; Which Donfuer demanded be torn down, but the Hussarian government refused. Donfuer took these actions seriously, and both sides began preparing for war. Spies from Stolas were spotted in Thorpecove, and quickly executed. A few weeks later, a mass of soldiers from some of the countries of the LSS gathered in Hussarias and marched to the walls of Stolas, soldiers from both sides were arguing and they moved north, where both sides met at a bridge. A small skirmish ensued.

On January 7th 2022, the village of Thorpecove would attempt to rebel from Hussaria and form the Republic of Astrokovo; The rebels surrendered only a few days later. The rebel leader, Sasha Korol, was granted amnesty for surrendering. She revealed that Donfuer had secretly supported the rebels. Arnelious was furious and demanded that Donfuer pay 50,000$ as repirations, which was paid without much resistance. The Hussarian government saw this as symbolic as that is the exact amount that they had been forced to pay to gain their freedom years ago. After this, Thorpecove slowly morphed into a town known as Adrea, the current capitol of Hussaria and the economic center of the country.

The Segra Age
Over time, tensions with Donfuer eased and Hussaria continued to flourish. New immigrants from Paloro turned Adrea into a farming metropolis. New revolutionary farming and breeding techniques developed in Adrea allowed Hussaria to dominate in the spice trade. Hussaria became known for their alcohol and food, which attracted wear travelers and tourists from all of Katsura.

On April 22nd, 2022, Hussaria left the LSS due to its withering strength and instead joined the Constellation of the North alliance. Their rivalry with Donfuer became nothing more than one of culture and jokes. Stolas was demilitarized and Fort Oberstyre was torn down.

With a growing spice industry, Huzar Arnelious successfully purchased a large amount of land to the north, where farmers began tilling fields and growing foods to be exported for money. Hussaria effectively encircled Inostadt but was unable to purchase it.

Sasha Korol, one of the Royal Councillors, was royalty from the country of Paloro; And a Poth Anglist. She helped broker trade and friendship between the two countries. Paloro would continuously an important part of modern Hussaria, and brought up in many discussions.

Crowning the New King
As Arnelious aged, he eventually rescinded his leadership and gave it to his son, Bjorn Flegenhorn. Bjorn was seen as totalitarian and cutthroat, which the Royal council disliked. Public support for him waned. The Royal Council planned a coup d'état against Bjorn. Royal Knights and Soldiers marched to the Government building in Hussarias, and demanded Bjorn abdicate. He did not try to fight the Royal Council, and gave the crown and left to Atlechia.

Republic of Hussaria
The Royal Government formed a democratic republic, with elections and presidents. This was very popular among the citizens, having over a 85% approval rating among the people. Sasha Korol was the provisional leader and was tasked with writing the constitution and beginning the first elections, whom a person named Ram won.

Ram was seen as an objectively bad leader, inexperienced with diplomacy and the knowledge of building a country and rallying true support. Progress in the 3 towns was slow, or didn't happen. Ram refused to write or pass any government documents. Sasha Korol offered to have Hussaria join the Hearthstone Yuldai, a nation in the Haven continent of Rathnir. Stating it would take heaps of stress of the presidential seat. Ram took some weeks to decide and inquire about the proposition, and eventually said no to the offer. When it was time for the second presidential election, Ram didn't begin them. Sasha Korol attempted to begin elections with what power she had, but lost legitimacy after banning new citizens from voting in an attempt to halt foreign agents and those attempting to sway the elections unfairly. Ram ended Sasha's attempt and gave Presidency to Soulla, a random person from Montrium. It was believed that Soulla hadn't even visited the country, and a few months later, sold the entire country to Varn Torum, for 1,300,000$. Sasha Korol attempted to explain the situation to Varn Torum, but because of the large investment into the land, denied to let Hussaria free. Varn Torum joined Ashai a few weeks later. Sasha Korol was made Governor of Hussaria.

Reformation & The Second Kingdom of Hussaria
Long after the annexation, the city of Adrea began to see economic revitalization, with many new migrants coming to the city from Paloro and elsewhere. The town is being revamped and reconstructed.

Citizens of the fallen country of Asria and Hussaria began plotting to overthrow Ashai, becoming independent once more, the plan was leaked by Walker Reddington on what is believed to be an accident, but nobody has figured out what his true intentions were. Hussaria will become independent after paying a sum of 3,000,000$ to Ashai.

Pothic Influence on Hussaria
Ever since the Poth landing on Hussaria, Anglism has had a long lasting influence on art, society, and politics in Hussaria. Anglism is the leading religion of the nation and Otsirs are constantly erected in the countryside and and centers of cities.
