Bardonia

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. The nation is named after the pre-existing discord server of its founder members, The 1st Republic of Bardonia, which is called "Dank Bard".

History
The history of Bardonia is a tale of rags to riches, of weak to power. But it is also a tale of overexpansion and fatal collapses. Bardonia has been governed by democratic republics, Imperialist empires and treacherous spies.

Law
When stepping foot in nation of Bardonia, it is expected for all to abide to the Bardonian Law.

During the Third Republic, a national court would see to the trial of criminals as per the Bardonian Law. A judge would be appointed by the senate monthly to oversee all trials for that month.

During the First Empire, The Supreme Chancellor judged cases or hands picked a judge for the trial, if one is offered. The option of trial by combat is always viable, although The Supreme Chancellor decides the type of combat, the gear, the opponents(s), and the arena. If any character dies in a Bardonian trial by combat it counts as a character death.

During the Second Empire, a lawyer and fair trial was always offered although the Emperor was still the ultimate authority.

Culture
In Bardonia you may see masses of Dandelions gathered about in it's towns, Bardonians often collect any dandelion they come across and plants them in their towns or near their roads. The Dandelions are very important to Bardonia and are believed to represent something different to each Bardonian. Bardonians used to refer to themselves as a fishing nation pre-Golden War and made sure each city was stocked with stacks of fish. The Bardonian Empire changed this description and now describes themselves as "The greatest military nation in Rathnir". Bardonians are known to be easy going to their allies. The cultural heritage of Bardonia is seen in their combat finesse, perfecting the art of combat to a repetitive motion and a flexible mind. The Bardonians often perform combat skirmishes amongst each other in preparations of bigger wars. Among their battle preparations is the Bardonian Defense which they used against Uldarash in The Great Golden War where they focus on keeping attackers out and held back by natural blockades, berry bushes, and campfires while they pick them off with bows or flank attackers from behind.

Most Bardonians are known to have a natural lust towards fighting and war, even the builders or farmers can be entranced by Bardonian war culture and leave their cities to participate in a war or raid.

The cultural effects of Bardonian contribution to the arts is far-reaching. Even in music, Bardonians have spearheaded the Rathnir music scene with the release of the debut music disc by B.W.A., "Straight Outta The Peak", which caused international attention due to its salacious lyrics.

The Chancellor introduced The Bardonian Cha Cha Slide during the 1st Empire, he sang the movements and the Bardonians followed. The Bardonian Cha Cha Slide represents Bardonia's trust in their leader and their coordination with each other, on the dance floor and on the battlefield.

Bardonian Holidays and Festivals
Bardonia has a list of Holidays and Festivals that they celebrate on multiple occasions:

Book and Quil Day
Book and Quil Day: On the 3rd of every month Bardonians are requested to write a book with a minimum of 10 pages. A single writable book is usually provided by government figures if requested. If a Bardonian is caught on this day without a book and quil in their inventory, they will be laughed at and called PvP brain by other Bardonians. Near the end of the day the Emperor will read through the books and pick their favorite, who will normally receive an award.

Beef Wellington Day
Beef Wellington Day: On the 14th of every month the Bardonians can't consume anything except bread and steak, this includes alcohol and potions. They will play mind games with each other on this day including the cultural knee breaking game of 6D Chess Kneesweeper.

Dandelion Day
Dandelion Day: On the 26th of every month Bardonians visit a Dandelion shrine or temple, then proceed to place 20 or more dandelions near said shrine. This is important as it's said on this day the dandelion's abilities to amplify are doubled. If this isn't done, it's said to bring bad luck to the Bardonian and their town/city.

The Dandelion Festival
The Dandelion Festival: On a randomly selected day the Emperor chooses, usually before a great war or during a great period of peace, a Dandelion Festival will be held. The Dandelion Festival usually starts with a feast, then somewhere in the middle is the Bardonian Drunken Fight Pit, and it ends off with the Bardonian Cha Cha Slide which is sang by the Emperor themselves.

The Trillium Alliance
Bardonia was one of the 3 entities that had formed The Trillium Alliance and were described as "The Muscle" of the alliance. The Trillium has since disbanded.

Carpicious
Carpicious was the first person to be executed by Bardonia, she was executed for crimes against the Trillium and for leading the Coalition forces that fought the Trillium in The Great Rathnir War.

Ezexus
Ezexus the Prodigy was the first senator to be executed by Bardonia. The 3rd Republic Senate and President executed him for the actions of the 2nd Republic's attempt on World Conquest. He was executed on 1/20/2021 in New Dorasterrock.

Dex Og
Dex Og was executed for multiple mass murders and killing sprees, and was previously one of the most notorious terrorists on the server. He was executed on January 16th, 2021, in New Dorasterrock as the final event of the Dandelion Festival.

Provincial/District representation
Provinces and Districts are different. Districts are plots of land close to towns that have representation. Whilst provinces are larger parts of land that are made out of different districts. Although provincial representatives have a higher ranking over district representatives they only have jurisdiction within their own province. This is same with district representatives and average citizens. Once a representative of a district or province you will gain immediate communication with the Grand council and Emperor. Provinces can also be merged with other provinces to create more centralized governing, while new provinces can also be formed when the power of the central government wants to expand it's power. An example can be the former province of Solanum, it formed when multiple citizens decided that the province of Bardonia was inactive so a new province was designed to take control of a large portion of the western parts to make the south more active. But after the Ferrymen war the province once again became inactive so the entire province went to New Dorasterrock.

Solanaria
The province of Solanaria has an interesting history. It started as a part of the Bardonia city province in March, but in April it turned into a new province called the Solanum province. In July it returned to the Bardonia province. But it once again became a new province in October 2021. Port Solanaria is the oldest town in the province, with Steinburg being the second, Fort Ruston is the 3rd oldest. Virothen, Tompurcia and Patania were founded later.

Leadership

The leadership of the Solanaria province is very divided, the western section, which is Port Solanaria, Patania and Fort Ruston is Tuberist led, the leaders are Elder potatoes in the religion. But the eastern section, which is Virothen, Tompurcia and Steinburg is unknown. The western section is led by a mayor/governor of the province, while the eastern section is led by a lord.

Wivamovia
Indomitable Dynasty

The province of Wivamovia began in early of 2021 as the Wivamovia Order. Its leader, Indomitable founded the city of Nothrook as its capitol. These people would be granted into Bardonia during the Andorn Crisis as a separate vassal and formed the Province of Wivamovia. Thoughts of rebellion in the Wivamovian government were quelled after Crezy one of the leaders of Bardonia disbanded the Wivamovian Order. The Wivamovian Order was incorporated into Andorn controlled by Lucius Von Savras. Most Wivamovians left their historic country to set sail for more adventures in Eldham. This caused nearly all of Wivamovia's cities to be abandoned and fall under disrepair.

Cities at the time:


 * Nothrook (Capitol)
 * Hinomir
 * Jabal

Patch Dynasty

During the Bardonian Spring, Andorn would secede from Bardonia and form the Empire of Andorn. Wivamovia would see most of its abandoned land be divided up until its main remaining land formed the Province of Avondale. Patch, given provincial control of the new province would take control of Nothrook and buildup its citadel. Jabal would collapse from inactivity and Hinomir nearly collapse due to inactivity as well.

Cities at the time:


 * Nothrook (Capitol)
 * Hinomir

Casulian Dynasty

When the War on Bandits and the 2nd Andorn Crisis broke out in Andorn, possession of Hinomir was somehow given to Capna, a revolutionary at the time. Seeing this, the Andorn government managed to contact one of the original members of Hinomir, BenBuilds17, to retake control of the city. The province of Avondale would suffer from constant bandit attacked until Operation Kiesfall was conducted. Hinomir especially nearly suffered from bankruptcy and near collapse.
