Nova Azcoria

Nova Azcorian is officially a Democratic Republic in eldham, vassal of Batu situated to it's north. It is roughly as populous as Lazodi, Batu's Capital. Horizonte, Nova azcoria capital is the 12th most populated country in eldham and the richest to date (17/08/21). The country is led by a Chancellor elected every month. It's currently in the transition to a democratic representative republic under the Chancellor's Millie term whereas separation of powers is met (17/08/21). Donalucianism is its national religion, with a separation of church and state.

Azcorian exiles settled in Batu territory delegated to them in times of the southern stars. Horizonte was founded and is the country's capital and city state to this day (17/08/21). After the expropiation of the southern estates and the excommunication of town mayor role from templars; Azcoria was declared a republic.

Founding
The country was founded in a northern peninsula in west Serrona, on the exile of Azcorians after the "Prosperita war" from Old Azcoria, now called Danubia; part of The Forge (17/08/21).

Azcoria fought against being vassalized by Kaladinia and lost; most of their citizens quit the country with the exception of a few. The founding leaders were Templars, the old Monarch of Azcoria on the temporary government after the coup; nobility, such as Con, Paying and Nicholas and Stepasound, as well as other citizens as part of the reconstruction of the country.

When in exile, the southern stars offered a reallocation of the people inside it's territory; with both Bai and Batu offering Azcorian exiles to settle and become a vassal nation. Out of the options, Batu was selected for convenience and closer distance.

Membership of FFS granted Nova Azcoria representation in the federal Senate. The supranational government member sent to represent Azcoria in southern stars was called a Senator.

The Nova Azcoria server was created in 19/06/21. By Stepasound, a citizen of Nova Azcoria. The territory the exiles found was given by Batu detailed by the conditions in "The treaty of Horizonte". This treaty signed by the southern stars and Templars included five articles granting Nova Azcoria determination, commercial treaty rights, financial aid; and vassalage and foreign policy authority to Batu.

On the second emigration to the now established territory, tents where built as temporary residence when the country was founded and the first building was built, the diamonds shop at 5º Pelagus street, by Con. This building was used as a standard model for the rest of Horizonte.

Templars administration [19/06/21 - 27/06/21]
Templars was the leader of the Nova Azcoria Monarchy; and head of church of Donalucianism, making it his government and national certified religion.

He directed and designed with the founders the first buildings of the town, owning the rights of the town as mayor. This accounts for the buildings in Pelagus and Apicem street (without the gendarms); Donalucia's temple; the public housing building; the first Prosperita war memorial; the memorial square; the flumen bridge; per vultus square; and the Capitol.

Templars gave himself the title of Chacellor, with absolute powers on the country. Subdivisions of power occurred by direct appointment, Senators where included as titles to elect the next chancellor; and Templars maintaining the ownership of the city as well as the self appointed role of prime minister with authority on territorial distribution. Trusted individuals with positive relations with the government where given the role of "patrician"/"senator"; which had suffrage rights, voting other patricians/senators to become the next chancellor.

In the process, the territory was divided within estates named by planned hierarchical order based on political or religious affiliation and urban planning. Flat Tax and business permits where introduced to all trusted players to have a planned economy at the beginning of the country and a few businesses settled in east Horizonte. Plots where arranged and sold for 5k after templars had them standarized. Starting 23/06/21 Paying created a flat tax record to count trusted players paying taxes as active citizenship; this record being delegated to the Minister of economy in future administrations.

Nicholas administration [28/06/21 - 11/07/21]
The term started in the 28/06/21 by a patrician/senatorial election. The chancellor had the same powers as in the previous administration, but delegated it's executive function to members of the government, "advisors" that represented the executive government and where commanded to perform tasks but could not forge new laws or enact them without supervision. New members where added such as Voltage to be government members. Ministerial positions where assigned in 4 ministries: Economy (Paying), defence (Stepasound), diplomacy (Templars) and infrastructure (Con).

Nicholas started the construction of a new town called Castelucia: a fortification on the southwest border with Batu; placed on the geysers biome. The building was in function a construction for defensive purposes and allegiance to a religious para-military group called the Nights of Lumière, headed by Nicholas. This was motivated by the regular bandit attacks at Horizonte that forced government efforts towards building defensive structures and a wall around the city delta. Additionally a subterranean tunnel network was built under east Horizonte to tackle bandit attacks more effectively.

Further defensive planning included Derrmakkir being hired as a military advisor; bandit preparation architecture including isolation doors and the sewers; safety storage for military equipment and formation protocols for the militia to protect the city in the case of a bandit invasion. A Fort was also included as part of the fortification efforts, on the middle of the Azcoria bay, north of the Horizonte peninsula.

Templars had a new distribution of land, creating two distinct new areas for the two towns; one being Horizonte as the City state and Castelucia being a defensive enclave. The remaining territory was discarded from taxonomy to instead be granted specific purposes such as farming or "country side".

On 4/07/21 Pertuum died irl. There was a street named after him on the next administration.

Primix, a citizen of Azcoria was dissatisfied with building regulation regarding inflexible style standards. On the 6/07/21 He built a fort within 8 chucks distance from Horizonte in Azcoria Bay, visible on the shore; and called it Floya, an independent nation. After its development, two thieves from Horizonte fled to Floya in the seek of refuge. Because of the border friction and notoriety status; tensions raised from the Nova Azcorian government towards the group.

The southern stars had a southern stars senatorial meeting determining vassals status where at 1/07/21 Nova Azcoria lost FFS representation, and on the 10/07/21, the Federation of southern stars fell.

On 11/07/21 Nicholas declared any citizen to be eligible to become a chancellor.

Paying administration [12/07/21 -
The term started on the 12/07/21 by default for being the only candidate running. That same day Batu became the ETC, without updates to the treaty of Horizonte. Ministries where assigned for the first time requiring an employing application: with defence (Con), economy (Voltage), diplomacy (Stepasound) and the updated with the removal of infrastructure and the addition of the ministry of culture (Templars). The gendarmerie was founded as a hybrid military-police force.

Tensions dissipated once they resettled on a western island of Nova Azcoria on the 15/07/21; unknown from them it was a claim of oceanum; independent of the forge at the time. That same day the first bandit was killed in Horizonte after the recruiting efforts put on the city fortification and gendarmerie recruiting.

On the 17/06/21 the first census was redacted and released by Voltage to the public; this included questions about housing, religious membership, Minecraft name, discord tag, current discord roles and dedication. Census would be later used to certify citizens and grant them suffrage right

Aestoria Populare:
Here is the History of the Azcorian people according to the book: Aestoria Populare:

In ancient times the Varean peoples lived in most of Serrona, they built multiple kingdoms and had a wide variety of cultures. Known Varean kingdoms are Marno, Cittolia, Arcania and Kopra. When the Goddess of Light, Donalucia fell sick after being poisoned, Darkness took over the World. Armies of the undead and monsters attacked Humans settlements and all Varean Kingdoms were destroyed, save one.

Donalucia was weak, left with little powers, she sent a messenger to the Arcanianns. This messenger was born from the belly of a tree and was raised by foxes. His name was Azcor. When he was 20, he started foreseeing the future and having visions of Donalucia. Following the Goddess's instructions he led the Arcanianns on the other side of the Mar Leonessa and founded the colony of Nova Arcania, which was renamed Azcoria after Azcor's death.

Azcoria was ruled as a united kingdom for three generations, before being divided among different clans. The society became perverted, and started worshiping the Black Dragon. Centuries later, Azcor resurrected from the depths of the ocean. He told the truth to the Azcorianns, and decided to heal Donalucia. He travelled the world for 30 years before finding the holy cow, Agelana. He served the sacred milk of Agelana to the Goddess, who was immediately healed. Donalucia started to wander the world again, and the age of Darkness ended.

Centuries later, a group of Solanines coming from the West arrived in Azcoriann lands. Misunderstood the name Prospanna, they created the colony of Prosperità. The colony discovered by Mejo, and ruled by the Kings Kai and Insert was quite small, but being technologically more advanced than the Azcoriann clans. The clans rapidly became vassals of the Kings. Years later a nomadic tribe called the Kostreans raided the clans repeatedly, destroying the villages and taking the locals as slaves. Templars as a new prophet led the locals toward Prosperità to seek refuge. As the population grew the colonists assimilated to the Azcoriann culture and the Kostreans were soon destroyed by the Kings.

The Kingdom of Azcoria:
Still ruled by the Kings, the city of Prosperità led by Lexi, was now a large colony. The nation was allied with Oceanum and the expansionists Kings desired more territory. After a very short war, Bernardland surrendered part of its lands, doubling the size of the country. The Kaladinian peninsula was claimed by the Kingdom (as it wasn't habited on the official maps). The powerful Batu Khaganate decided to also claim the area. To avoid a war an agreement was made: The north will be colonised by Azcoria and the south by Batu. Meanwhile the Kaladinians allied themselves with Iremith. They soon sent an ultimatum to Azcoria: remove your claims on Kaladinia or they will be war, the crown panicked and removed their claims. Soon after Kaladinians and Iremith forces attacked and occupied the capital for hours. Later a second ultimatum was sent this time by Iremith. As the kings weren't available and the people discovered that they had continuously harassed the Kaladians, discontent grew among the people, ClumsyRaccon, nicknamed Nicholas decided to start a coup, but the conspiracy was discovered by the Kings and he was banished. King Insert had planned, let Nicholas take the power and return after a week with the support of the loyalists. Nicholas returned but the king asked to postpone the revolution. As nobody knew who was leading the nation Templars decided to create a neutral government to prepare for the war, and apply reforms but the new appointed ministers decided to remove the monarchy as the no one supported it anymore. War was soon declared and Azcoria in less than an hour, was invaded, the fighting was violent and there were a lot of casualties on the Azcoriann side. The government surrendered and the population fled to Oceanum. Azcorianns had to pay 15k each to both Iremith and Kaladinians to stop the massacre of civilians. The Kaladinians continued to harass and murder refugees and Oceanum's citizens in Litoraleia.

The Exodus:
An agreement was made between the Neutral Government and a senator of the Southern Stars Federation, D_loaded, the Azcorians would create a new nation in the Federally Administrated District. The refugees started to build a new capital there but a few days after founding the city, D_loaded was removed from power. As the federation was returning into more of a Confederation of countries, the Azcorianns led by Templars negotiated with all the countries of the confederation to find a new home. The refugees agreed to became a vassal state of the Batu Khaganate, they would have total control over their internal affairs, and would be able to have separated trade deals. In exchange Batu would protect the country like any other province of its empire. The Nova Azcorian Republic was thus born on the same lands that the ancient Kingdom of Arcania resided. A new capital was founded: Horizonte.

The Templean Era:
The Chancellor of the time was Templars, he founded the capital and started the constitution with members of government. With the help of PayingforMCagain economic reforms were made. The country established a capitalist merchant economy. The OfficialGoose Forum was built, as the Memorial of the Kaladian Invasion. The government started the construction of the Chateau (the seat of the national government) and the foundation of the city of Castellucia. However, due to the limited voting rights of citizens many considered the government an oligarchy, and Templars eventually lost power in an election to the DPP and Stepasound.

The Stepsonian Era
Following Templars loss of the election, Stepasound with his party, the DPP, took power. They continued working on and eventually finished the constitution in the later period of the term. They would also continue work on the Chateau and development of the economy, while also beginning construction of a National University. Later on they would also propose plans for a seaward expansion of Horizonte, called Venice 2. However, many allegedly believed the DPP to be corrupt and not properly representing the people. Causing the Reformist Political Crisis.

Reformist Political Crisis
Starting the crisis two anonymous protests were held in Memorial Square, one being pro-monarchy and the other more generally anti-government, with both calling for the finishing of the Constitution, jobs, and the end of the alleged Oligarchy.

The signs included textually comments as:

Both of these protests were taken down by the government, on claims of disruption of travel in the square, and alleged interrogations were ordered after the first protest. Soon after the second protest a new political party, called the Azcorian Reformist Party (ARP). This party had Nicholas as the leader and shadow chancellor, and also included other members of government such as Templars. All members of government in the ARP quickly lost their positions after the announcement of the party. During the week preceding the third election both the ARP and DPP made various plans and proposals in order to gain support. With the DPP starting, though not officially proposing, Venice 2, finishing the constitution, and increasing work on the National University. The ARP on the other hand made preparations for a variety of trade deals with the USSE and Xeka, promised reforms to change the government into a Tulipanist Democracy, and helped in the formation of the Constitution. Upon the election the DPP won, with Millie replacing Stepasound as Chancellor, with just over 64% of the vote. With the ARP having just under 36% of the vote.

The Millean Era
Following her election victory, Millie both ratified the constitution and officially proposed "Venice of Eldham" proposal. She also has automated the citizenship application process and is currently dealing with a series of thefts in the nation.
