Baronov

Overview
Baronov (Bar-O-Nov) is a small island city-state located on the north east part of Rathnir, off the coast of Plagos in the Shattered Sea, and is a part of the Bardonia.

Lore
For many ages, Baronov was a small and nameless village with a strong isolationist mindset and warrior culture similar to that of the vikings, plundering nearby trade routes and supply lines, while avoiding contact of the outside world. The village's economy was heavy dependent on it's war expeditions and raids, and fish was often a staple in the average Baronovian's diet. However as time went on, Baronov, led by it's founder and king Cakehacks, began to expand the village into a prospering town, able to establish trade amongst others around that were once prey for raids.

Republic and Crownland of Seaside
Baronov later joined the Republic of Seaside after it's founding, in able to work alongside neighboring islands, and grow larger than they would alone. The agreement for Baronov to be a part of Seaside explained that:


 * 1) Baronov could not have any interactions with other nations.
 * 2) Baronov's citizens must fight alongside Seaside during a time of war.

This gave Baronov a large amount of autonomy free from Seaside's politics and control. Despite their attempts to establish better relations with neighboring states like Seaside, many still had little trust in Baronov, and look at them as a threat. On the 9th of July, Seaside joined the Empire of Plagatéa, creating the Crownland of Seaside. While this made Baronov a vessel of a vessel, many Baronovians were more loyal to the city and king than that of Seaside or the Empire.

Throughout its existence as a vessel of Seaside, the city believed it was under Seasides jurisdiction. The reality however was that Baronov was always inside Bardonia's Avalon territory.

The Identity Crisis
On July 15th, the co-leader of Seaside, Adino, made demands that the island is to fully integrate into Seaside, and that he would take control of the island city. This greatly angered the citizens and king, who instantly and unanimously rejected this notion. Shortly after, when making plans, Boronov's council realized that they have been within Bardonia's Avalon territories, and that they never were under jurisdiction of Seaside. After council member Shwointshounburg managed to get into contact of the Emperor of Bardonia, Unic0rnb0i, Baronov was guaranteed protection and autonomy, causing rejoice within the city.

Present Day
Baronov has since then been a loyal vessel of Bardonia since their help in protecting the city's autonomy from Seaside's desire for control and power over it's people. Council member Shwointshounburg is hoping to one day have Baronov's flag hang in the capital of Bardonia, along with separating Baronov's identity from that of the Avalons, who has a different culture, history and society.

Government
Baronov has had a long history of being an autocracy under it's leadership of Cakehacks. After some requests by CaptainNorth370, an influential council member and noble, to democratize the city, the king announced that he may consider transitioning into a democracy after the city grows larger and more prominent within the region, both economically and militarily.
