Bardonia History

Overview
Bardonia was founded on 18/10/2020, but wasn't announced as a nation until 24/10/2020 as The Republic of Bardonia. The Bardonians came from the North, guided by the prophets with the promise of a land of Dandelions.

Finally reaching a coastal plain, the initial founders came across a field of Dandelions - as far as the eye could see. Here, the first town was founded and it was name Bardonia. Bardonia as a country has been in the many forms of republics and empires throughout its history. Bardonia itself has been 3 Republics, 4 Empires, an occupied state, and a duchy under the Escharian Empire. This wiki page is dedicated to the history of Bardonia since its founding.

Overview
The First Republic referred to Bardonia as a "Fishing Nation" and spent their time fishing in the river that runs through Bardonia City. Through Morning until Night the Bardonians would fish and fish was abundant in Bardonia. Stacks of fish could be found in every city, exported from Bardonia City.

The Capital of Bardonia was Bardonia City, but the capitol would eventually be moved to Dorasterrock.

 * Senator RamthekidRS swam out to explore the sea and never returned.
 * Shimesa ventured off into the wilderness to find himself and find adventure.
 * Before The Great Golden War, Senator Socius went into the mines under Bardonia city and never resurfaced.

Government Structure
The First government of Bardonia operated as an oligarchic republic with no official leader. It was ruled by a single senate body who elected new members to the senate and voted on laws, diplomacy, policy, and many other aspects of state. There were always 8 senators of Bardonia and if one of them were unavailable a previous senator or respected member of Bardonia will be promoted to an Honorary Senator for meetings, but this was changed on 12/2/2020 when it was agreed that a random number of senators would be voted on / off.

Overview
With the declining power in the Second Republic and the wars in the Dandelion War and from foreign support from the Sterling Crownlands, a coup d'état swiftly crushed the Second Republic Senators to being exiled or arrested.

On January 20th, 2021, the Third Republic was proclaimed under its founding fathers:


 * Crezyman
 * MamaMurphy666/WallaceTheGromit
 * LobsterLights
 * JurzTheAndal (Until Jurz was later elected the first president)

Government Structure
Under the Third Republican era, Bardonia operated as a unitary republic that is split into several provincial regions. Residents of these regions vote for their respective senators and from these senators, all Bardonians vote for their next president. A constitution was drawn up by the interim government which set out the details and functions of the Senators, President, the Court and the provincial governments. Enshrined in this constitution was also the right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to petition the government and the freedom from involuntary taxation.

Third Republic Senators

 * AP
 * Crezyman
 * DHVO
 * Pwou
 * LobsterLights
 * mama the murphy/WallaceTheGromit (powershare)
 * JurzTheAndal (President)

The Function of President
The role of the president was to act as a unified voice of Bardonia when dealing with all of Rathnir and was expected to serve Bardonia in protecting their foreign interests.

The president was de-facto the head of state but were limited domestically in several ways:


 * The President could only vote in the Bardonian senate in the event of a tie and within the senate, they purely presided over meetings (but can debate).
 * The President could serve for an unlimited number of terms but elections must occur at a minimum of every 2 weeks.
 * In the event of a loss of support, the senate could impeach the president and remove them from their current office with a simply majority.

Presidental History

 * JurzTheAndal
 * 20th January 2021 - 30th January 2021


 * Crezyman
 * 31st January 2021 - 1st February 2021

Overview
The 31st of January 2021 - After The Third Republic became too involved in a conflict with Raykara and Escharia, they were haunted by the spirits of Fallen Escharia. With political pressure and the vengeful spirits at each town's door, The Bardonians reached out to former senator Unic0rnb0i who at the time was going by an alias "The Chancellor". Uni offered to bail the Bardonians out of the current situation as long as they declared him as their dictator and ruler, the Bardonians voted and put The Chancellor into power, who took the new title of Supreme Chancellor.

Within the next couple days the new dictator upheld his end of the agreement. Political pressure dissipated and the spirits of Fallen Escharia calmed, stopping their attacks on the citizens of Bardonia. Bardonians stayed in their cities quietly while they recovered from political struggles and the spirit attacks. Despite The Chancellor's efforts the numbers of Bardonians plummeted meeting an all time low for the once prospering nation. The Chancellor set priority on recovering Bardonian population and building within Bardonia, often seeking help from The Chancellor's Hands to extort money from other nations and keep the nation afloat on his own.

The Chancellor soon took a position leading from afar as he would isolate himself in Andorn, communicating to the Bardonians through letters and astral projection which he had learned previously from Green Tomato. He would begin receiving Himotherapy treatment for his schizophrenia and multi-personality disorder from HimoS401 to help him better lead Bardonia.

Government Structure
Dictatorship under Unic0rnb0i

Overview
The Second Empire of Bardonia was created after the Ferrymen war which completely destroyed the leadership in the country. Many of Bardonia's former Grand Council perished during the The Battle of Ferrymen or died afterwards from their wounds (most notably The Chancellor, Uni). This led to a massive power vacuum leading to multiple movements and overall chaos. Following the power vacuum that was created, Jacw claimed the throne and acted as the Emperor of Bardonia. He then ceded his power to ElevenMantis, Prince of Bardonia. During his coronation at New Dorasterrock, he was assassinated by The_Mobius who mysteriously made it out of the battle alive despite survivors seeing him perish. Mobius then crowned himself Emperor of Bardonia and formed an oligarchy of his closest allies (who become part of The Grand Council) and forms a system nearly identical to the prior government.

Notable Events

 * The capital city of New Dorasterrock and the city hosting the Bardonian armory Auron's Peak had both declared independence in the same day.
 * The province of Andorn fell to political instability into the kingdoms of Central Andorn, Avalon, Heli, Wivamovia, Skjoldrbrodir and Savras (First Andorn Crisis).
 * After months of unorganized government, a player named Abrewt decided to pitch a reform idea to Mobius and the Grand Council. With the help of the Grand Council and officials Andrew was able to draft the Bardonian Reform Act. The Reform Act had helped to cut down on issues like de-centralization, among many others. During this time, the Prophet came to Bardonia (OOC: Uni came back to Bardonia). He was made emperor and approved the Reform Act. After these changes were made, the government decided to officially end the Second Bardonian Empire and they reformed themselves into the Third Empire.

Government Structure
Emperor Mobius - Lead the nation and was the ultimate authority in Bardonia. Originally, people questioned how well an administration under Mobius would go but as the country did suprisingly well under him his rule was generally approved of by the populace. He dedicated nearly all of his time to external matters.

Grand Lieutenant Ice (I_ce) - Lead Bardonia internally and occasionally acted as a diplomat. Not much before becoming Grand Lieutenant, Ice was an ordinary citizen who rose the ranks after Jacw recommended him to Uni at the end of the previous Empire. Ice took on nearly all of the burden of running Bardonia internally which caused him to burn out by the time the Third Empire started. He was often referred to as "second in command" due to how vocal and active he was although he was initially intended to be below Grand General Axyr.

Grand General Axyr - Lead the Dandelion Guard, Bardonia's military. After the loss of the Auron's Peak armory, Bardonia had very few sets of armor. He grinded nonstop to make new sets which strengthened the nation. Not wanting any more responsibility, this is what he mainly focused on.

Grand Architect Crezyman - The once Bardonian President and nationalist became not anti-Bardonia but anti-Mobius at the start of the Second Empire. He actively tried to dismantle Bardonia thinking that Mobius would run the country into the ground. After eventually joining back, he was forgiven and worked as a diplomat.

Overview
After Mobius had calmed the chaos of the 2nd Empire, the last remaining Prophet of the 5 that originally brought Bardonia to Rathnir stepped up. The Prophet spoke to Mobius, showing Mobius visions of a Bardonia in a golden age, walking the path of prosperity. Mobius, striving for this future, did anything he needed to in order to make it happen, even stepping off the throne. The Prophet became the Emperor of Bardonia with promises to guide Bardonia into a golden age, an age of prosperity, an age comparable to The 2nd Republic. The first thing passed was government reforms, adding government jobs and spreading out the work load.
