Overview
The Kingdom of Hussaria (pronounced Hoo-sar-ee-uh) is a relatively small nation in the Katsura region of Eldham. It borders Yaszria to the north and east and is not far from Redoriv to the south. It is governed by a constitutional monarchy and is strictly opposed to democracy. Hussaria is heavily involved with trade, exporting goods every day.

The culture of Hussaria is centered around horses. High quality horses are greatly respected for their usefulness and faithfulness. Since Hussaria is in a sparsely populated portion of the world they are very important for traveling to nearby cities. Those who are loyal and willing to make sacrifices for the furtherment of the Kingdom are also given a high position in the social hierarchy.

History
the first Hussarians gathered in Nova Regna in late June of 2021. Before this they had lived in a far off land to the north known as Factoph. They were forced to flee that land after a civil war nearly drove them to extinction. In Nova Regna they began construction of the great city of Hussarias. The old city was completed on July 18th, 2021. It was then that the city was given the nickname "Cornerstone Of The West" due to its location and sheer power of the towering walls.

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 known as 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. The city wasn’t represented in the Donfuer government either. This made the citizens of Hussarias and Carthroe a bit angry. In addition to this, Hussarias became the target of anti-rattist raiders during the Crusades against rattism. A sizable force of these raiders attacked Hussarias in September in what became known as the battle of Green Tower due to a 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. The Donfuer government hardly even acknowledged this attack, which further lead to anti-Donfuerian sentiment in both Hussarias and Carthroe. It also contributed to the already brewing idea of Hussarian manifest destiny.

On October 7th, 2021 Hussarias and Carthroe declared their independence as the Kingdom of Hussaria with Arnelious as their Huzar (king). Donfuer did not accept and so began the Hussarian war of Independence.

The newly formed kingdom was supported by Asria, who owed them a great deal after Hussarians had helped them overthrow a tyrannical leader only a week before. Donfuer on the other hand was supported by the Northern Lights alliance. The war only consisted of a few skirmishes. Some of these skirmishes were won by Hussaria and some were won by Donfuer loyalists but all proved to be indecisive in the war as a whole. Facing enormous pressure from the Northern Lights alliance, however, Hussaria soon agreed to pay 50000 coins for their independence but they did not secure Carthroe, which would remain in Donfuer with Hussarians still living in it. As one might imagine, this led to future conflicts. Hussaria’s war of independence with Donfuer was over but this rivalry had only just begun…

In November, the capitol city of Hussarias was sacked by a horde of barbarians from the North. The city, unfortunately, lost nearly all of their recources. Despite this, in December, the Hussarians were able to fully recover. The town of Thorpecove began to develop as finishing touches were made to the capitol. The population skyrocketed and in late December a new town called Reothadh was built off the mainland on a new island. Hussaria also joined the League of the Setting Sun alliance in order to protect their sovereignty from foreign greed.

during this time, Allucard Tepes, the mayor of Carthroe, began sowing seeds of rebellion in his town against Donfuer. On December 6th, 2021 they declared independence from Donfuer. Hussaria and the LSS declared their support for Carthroe immediately after. Over the next couple weeks there were many diplomatic meetings between Carthroe and Donfuer. In these meetings Allucard Tepes was offered several good deals that were seen by Huzar Arnelious as fair and even desirable. Allucard, however, refused these offers. Over time he proved to his Allies and his own people that he was nothing more than a mad man hell bent on achieving his own personal goals. Due to this Hussaria withdrew their support for Carthroe and the people of Carthroe fled to Asria in the north and Hussaria to the South. The conflict was over. Carthroe was renamed to Inostadt and the last traces of Hussarian culture there were stamped out.

This still was not the end of the rivalry between Hussaria and Donfuer though. The city of Stolas was a heavily populated city built right on the border with Hussaria. It had powerful fortifications so in response Hussaria built Fort Oberstyre on the other side of the border. Donfuerians were furious at this and requested that the fort be torn down. These demands were promptly denied.

On January 7th 2022, the small town of Thorpecove would attempt to rebel from Hussaria and form a sovereign nation of their own. The rebels surrendered only a few days later, though, after they realized that there was no chance of victory. 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 coins as repirations, which was paid without much resistance. The Hussarians saw this as symbolic as that is the exact amount that they had been forced to pay to gain their freedom all those moons ago. After this, Thorpecove was burned by their own people and a new town was built nearby called Adrea. This town would usher in a new economic era for Hussaria that still lasts to this day.

Over time, tensions with Donfuer eased and Hussaria continued to flourish. New immigrants from Rathnir turned Adrea into a farming metropolis. New revolutionary farming and breeding techniques developed in Adrea allowed Hussaria to dominate in the spice trade. Hussaria also became known for producing the finest beer around. Eldhamites came from far and wide to Hussarias and drank their troubles away.

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 their spice industry on the rise, Huzar Arnelious was pressured by farmers to purchase more land to the north where there was a different climate and new spices could be cultivated. Not needing to be told twice, Arnelious bought a vast track of land from Yaszria, who now owned nearly all the land formerly apart of Donfuer. This increased the size of the Kingdom by more than double. A little fishing village called Orinshire was built in this new land in order to solidify the Hussarian presence there.

Economy
Hussaria is active in the economic world of Eldham. They frequently export and import a variety of goods.

The capitol city of Hussarias offers plentiful building materials from their vast mines while Adrea is heavily focused on farming. Thousands of pounds of spices along with many other cash crops and exotic animals are all grown there. Both Hussarias and Adrea also produce vast quantities of beer, wine, vodka, mead, and other beverages. Orinshire is a small village, which supplies the bigger cities with fish. The island city of Corripium also grows many crops like cacti and sugar cane.
