Vanshire

Vanshire is a semi small nation in the south of Eldham on the continent of Serrona. While Vanshire suffered a bit of inactivity in its life, it is growing at a steady pace in the current day

Pre-History
For most of Vanshires Prehistory it has been under the waves of both the Sea of Lelo'e and the Aooleif Sea. The biosphere of this prehistoric land held many beautiful coral and a vast diversity of underwater life one of the most famous examples being the Barocoryth. During sometime in the past, Vanshires coral ridden land raised itself to the surface, scholors debate weather it was due to volcanic activity or the receding water that were caused by a global cooling of the world.

Founding
Vanshire claim was staked by an unusual entrepreneur known as Alticus the 4th in an attempt to take some lands for himself and Newkunir, he sent out some scouts to locate a secure place to set up camp, eventually choosing the plains side of the river that flowed into the mountains. When they got there, they spotted a hermit who lived in the caves by the name of Squish. With Alticus nowhere in sight and Squish being adept in diplomatic negotiations, they saw fit to install Squish as their leader and built up a town on the riverbanks, naming this settlement Alicuna.

The Kunir War
Main Article: The Kunir war

The Kunir War (also referred to as the War of the Three Coalitions) was fought between the United Socialist States of Eldham and Vanakunir, in addition to each nations' allies, from July 6th, 2021 - July 8th, 2021. The outcome of the war was the defeat of the USSE and Xeka by Newkunir. The USSE was partially annexed by the victors.

Multiple Acquisitions
there were multiple periods of time where Vanshire belonged to other nations due to either scandalous activities or treaties signed

Vassel of Xeka
Due to a swift and treasonous act of Earth, Vanshire was acquired as a vassal of Xeka, while Earth was tried and executed by the U.S.S.E for his acts, Vanshire would sit with Xeka for a few months with what seemed to be no progress, Vanshire would split with Xeka on good terms and high spirits.

Duchy of the Vulperium
Marley the current leader of Vanshire at the time would be approached by the Grand Valar of the Vulperium BeastlyBrock and his son Jolly and asked if he wished to join the Vulperium, with the shared ideology of both nations and similar personalities of their leaders, Vanshire would join the vulperium as a duchy, while peaceful this acquisition was, in a meeting between the Vulperium and the U.S.S.E, the U.S.S.E was sadden to see their ally somewhat dissolve into the Vulperium, many citizens of the U.S.S.E were outraged by this and it would be assumed that this was the start of the fall of the relationship between the U.S.S.E and the Vulperium. During Vanshire's time as a duchy, Marley would join Brock and the other dukes and duchesses in meeting, whether it be an acquisition of a new duchy or seeing how the nation itself was doing, in turn the Vulperium citizens and royalty would accept Vanshire in with open arms. While the Vuls treated vanshire as one of their own, Marley couldn't help but to think he was somewhat alone due to the vast distant between Vanshire and Vulperium mainland, it also was a bit troubling that, while still gaining a few citizens, the nation turn duchy would be relatively silent.

Vassel of the U.S.S.E
During Vanshire's time in the Vulperium, the U.S.S.E would approach the Vulperium and ask if the nation of Vanshire (who at this time was in a still state with no growth) would join them, Brock and Marley discussed about this acquisition and the discission was made for Vanshire to join the U.S.S.E as a vassel state, Marley would leave the vulperium on good terms with brock and no hatred to his people. Vanshires time with the U.S.S.E was prosperous, the road that connected both nations would be complete, a ice road would be made to the city of Alicuna, a new city would be built (Hoseki) which would grow rapidly in size in a matter of months, new citizens would join, Vanshires military would be formed, and so much more, even when Vanshire wished to become a independent nation again, the U.S.S.E would let them off with a smile, a wave, and multiple treaties declaring trade and mutual protection of the nation.
