First Kingdom of Amarillo

The Kingdom of Amarillo was founded on the 28th of April of 2022 following the end of the First Amarillian Civil War and would last until the 12th of December of 2022, when it merged with the Nachtenreich to form the Twilight Empire of Amarillo. When the Twilight Empire was dissolved with the Treaty of Varasolpolis, the Kingdom was briefly restored, before merging with the former member states of the Nachtenreich to form the Amarillian Empire on the 24th of December of 2022.

This period was characterised by Amarillo's first instance of parliamentary democracy, the establishment of the Amarillian monarchy and its powers, the Vlonsi resettlement of Romantello and the integration of the Pirate Kingdom of Aurica.

Formation
With the defeat of Royalist forces in Puerto Amarillo and the capture of the self-proclaimed "Sun-King", Kawaii Poliorcetes Kyani, at the hands of the Imperilan-Republican Alliance, the junta was mostly defeated. However, it was feared that the remaining juntistas in the mohadi towns, while unable to recapture any of the towns under the democrats' control, would launch a guerilla warfare, that could destabilize the country durably and maybe even, in the long run, create a second full scale civil war. Moreover, the main foreign ally of the juntistas, Arktania, was still around and explicitly threatened Amarillo to launch a military intervention, which the exhausted country would probably not be able to resist, if Kawaii Poliorcetes didn't stay King. Lastly, even though it had been defeated militarily, Kawaii's junta had a lot of support among the general non fighting population. As such, Soronaca de Porphyropolis, thanks to the intervention of Lhytt Poliorcetes, negotiated with captive Kawaii, and managed to reach a compromise between the juntistas wanting Kawaii to keep his royal title and the democrats wanting a democratic state, ending the civil war by making Amarillo a democratic constitutional monarchy.

With the civil war concluded, a provisional government consisting of King Kawaii, Imperilan Soronaca, President SSiTon and Lhytt Poliorcetes (Later replaced with McBabwe of Allium Panem) would rule the nation. This brief period would see the drafting of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Amarillo, the signing of the Romantello Accords which allowed Vlonsi people to resettle Romantello.

In the second half of may, Catania, one of the Commonwealth's two founding members, joined the Imperium and left the Drakaen Commonwealth, which had just recently signed treaties with Amarillo and established good relations, following a period of cold war. Seeing this as an opportunity, Soronaca De Porphyropolis entered talks to join the Drakaen Commonwealth, to fill Catania's shoes and increase its influence. To increase Amarillo's diplomatic prestige and influence, he also invited representatives from all nations in the Drakeslands but Catania to the 3rd Drakaen Summit in Puerto Amarillo, which was met with enthusiasm by most Drakaen leaders. There, Amarillo announced the creation of the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo, aimed at protecting the Drakeslands from foreign invasions by making the Drakaen nations stand united against outside threats. Once again, through the treaty's name, one of the goal was to assert Amarillo's influence, even in a certain way dominance, over Drakaen international relations. However in that case this would, months later, cause issues as some signatories misunderstood the treaty's nature because of its name.

When the Constitution of the Kingdom of Amarillo was ratified as the fundamental law of the Kingdom, Imperilan Soronaca became Acting Prime Minister. On June 5th, parliamentary and premierial elections took place but the elections for the Prime Minister were annulled as consequence of vote rigging. After this, it was determined that the Prime Minister would be elected by parliamentary vote instead of popular vote.

Premiership of McBabwe
On June 13th, the parliament of the Kingdom of Amarillo elected McBabwe, former President of Amarillo, as Prime Minister of Amarillo. McBabwe's premiership was marked by internal development projects with involvement from ministers and by the election of the Prime Minister being returned to the popular vote. There were also minor disputes with the Drakaen Commonwealth during this period due to McBabwe's contentious relationships with its leaders and the issue of McBabwe not being included in Drakaen High Command even though he held the 2nd most senior office in Amarillo.

Amarillo as a whole, however, would obtain a choice position in the Drakaen Commonwealth, replacing Catania as the main member of the alliance along with Valreach. Kawaii Poliorcetes would be the main internal leader for the western part of the Commonwealth, while Soronaca became, on top of staying the leader of the Amarillian army, the leader of the armies of the entire Commonwealth. However, Delta, autarch of the Commonwealth, felt like she was doing almost all of the alliance scale work while all the others officials were concentrating on their specific nation. She felt it couldn't continue that way, and only two solutions were possible : dissolving the Commonwealth entirely, or merging into a single nation, taking away the independence of its members. The fate of the Drakaen Commonwealth would be decided by a vote among its top officials. Left with no middle ground, several leaders who were still favorable to the Commonwealth, like Vix Aulian or Soronaca de Porphyropolis, voted to dissolve the Commonwealth.

On the 25th of June 2022 the Drakaen Commonwealth dissolved and the Amarillian parliament voted to impeach McBabwe due to his poor relations with some neighboring leaders and for delegating duties to ministers. McBabwe was not considered experienced and good enough at diplomacy to handle the very tricky crisis situation that the end of the Drakaen Commonwealth left, several foreign powers attempting to claim Drakaen land and Valreach facing a rebellion after announcing its vassalisation under Simulami. The impeachment would pass by a single vote and McBabwe would be removed from office.

Premierships of Potatus (Pre-Pasifa war)
Following McBabwe's removal from office, parliament elected Potatus Inferro as Acting Prime Minister. Potatus entered the office with a campaign of increasing activity to solve the inactivity crisis and growing Amarillo as an international power. Soronaca would be appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, managing the Kingdom's diplomacy, intrests and international policy.

On the 27th of June the Kingdom of Torham abandoned Amarillian suzerainty and joined the Kingdom of Metsalej, which was renamed to the Kingdom of Mordaine.

On the 3rd of July Soronaca, following his Drakeslands to Drakaens ideology and the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo, pledged to support Gardenia against Limuria in the Lemur Reconquista. By the 12th of July, the Gardenians surrendered and a fruitless bid to seize control of northern Taernsbia and Velenu was made, to keep it in Drakaen hands and finally get land coveted by the Republic months ago.

On the 13th of July King Kawaii abdicated. His indicated heir, Sherlox Poliorcetes, wasn't approved by parliament due to their poor perception of him. This caused a constitutional crisis as Amarillo was left without a monarch, which only worsened when the former King made attempted to appoint a regent after having abdicated and tried to retake his position until the parliament could approve or elect a new King. The crisis was eventually resolved on the 26th of July when the parliament elected Soronaca of Porphyropolis as King of Amarillo. Kawaii would dissappear, presumably dying in the dunes of Amarillo, and Sherlox would be left disheartened. Henceforth, Soronaca would hold de-facto absolute executive power since the activity-loving Prime Minister and his cabinet were inactive. The new King re-ignited the Kelp War by proclaiming his intention to lower sea levels with Operation Salema.

On the 29th of July Potatus was re-elected with a campaign which again suggested that he'd increase activity and end the inactivity crisis.

On the 28th of August the Pirate Kingdom of Aurica which was integrated into the Kingdom of Amarillo with the Treaty of the Rising Sun. This came after the country was in a state of disarray caused by conflicts of interest between the country's leadership ignited when Junicists proclaimed the brief Second Holy Drakaen Empire. This added the Royal City of Varasopolis and the Provinces of Aurica and Smegsland to the realm, which although composed about half the country's territory and had comfortable environments in comparison to Ragdon made up a minimal fraction of the population.

On the 5th of September, Potatus was re-elected as Prime Minister after having once again pledged to end the inactivity crisis...

War against Pasifa
King Soronaca declared war on the Kingdom of Sena Pasifa on September 11th, immediately following the termination of their NAP and after having delivered an ultimatum a week earlier. This occurred after Amarillo was unable to launch the final phase of Operation Salema due to Pasifan objections. Pasifa had refused to allow to lowering of sea levels because that'd cause their artificial island to be above sea level since it wasn't attached to the seabed. Amarillo had offered to provide the dirt necessary to connect Pasifa's territory to the seabed, and workers to help place it, but Pasifa rejected and instead requested $50,000 to handle the operation themselves. Out of principles, Soronaca refused as he didn't want to let a country which, according to him and some other Amarillians and Drakaens, always was a hindrance for its neighbours dictate its conditions after having been one once again. Indeed, Pasifa and its predecessor, Andliria, had a long history of tensions and mistrust with Amarillo, which played a role in the outbreak of the war and the way diplomacy was handled from both sides. Amarillo declared war to Pasifa and was supported by Regnum Yoake and the VVR.

On the 25th of September the first battle of Puerto Amarillo and Suzukafun took place. The battle saw Amarillian and allied forces take control of several key buildings in Suzukafun, while a incursion of Pasifan forces and mercenaries into Puerto Amarillo pillaged and destroyed a big part of the city, including the Green Museum, leaving it in ruins for a prolonged period of time. The battle however, was still a crushing Amarillian victory, as Amarillo's casualties were way smaller than Pasifa's despite having spent at least 5 times less money on the battle, thanks to Yoaken fighters.

On the 2nd of October Pasifan forces launched the raid of Asturus. Here they flooded much of the peninsula, causing minor casualties. Asturus was far away from the war's frontlines and held no strategic value. Furthermore, it didn't cause any decisve harm and didn't target any military facility. This is remembered as an act of senseless perversion on behalf of Sena Pasifa.

On the 7th of October Lennard Poliorcetes was elected Prime Minister. He held Republican sympathies but failed to demonstrate it. He pledged to lead Amarillo to victory over Pasifa and renew Amarillian politics. This marked an end to King Soro's hold over executive power, as Lennard successfully restored relevancy to the office by actually being active and the King became gradually less invovled in politics. Unfortunately this meant that Potatus Inferro was never able to complete his 3-month long goal to encourage activity while being inactive himself.

Two days later, after Pasifa had won the second battle of Suzukafun and Puerto Amarillo, King Soronaca made public the Treaty of Romantello, a savagely harsh peace offer from Pasifa which would've effectively destroyed the Amarillian state. This peace offer caused uproar and condemnation towards Pasifa, as Amarillo's goal was explicitly not to destroy the Pasifan state and not even to take any of its territory, and Pasifa's treaty, which was seen as disproportionate even in case of a full victory, was proposed in a moment where one battle was won by each belligerent, but Pasifa had spent far more money than Amarillo and made far less.

Amarillian, allied and mercenary forces successfully captured the city of Suzukafun on the 24th of October following a brief siege. This victory is commonly attributed to the tireless effort of Prime Minister Lennard and Amarillo's Yoaken allies. At this point the war effectively ended, although the Pasifan government refused to surrender for another month, causing Soronaca to express how he felt increasingly compelled to destroy Pasifa and framed it as if it'd be Pasifa's own fault.

Lennard's term came to a conclusion and he was replaced by Letizia Poliorcetes, who was elected Prime Minister on the 11th of November. Two weeks later, the Prime Minister and Yay would achieve a peace settlement with Pasifa. The war concluded with Amarillo withdrawing from Pasifan territories and the Pasifans agreeing to pay hefty reparations to Amarillo on top of their already large debt to other parties, and of course agreeing to lower the Drakaen sea to its original level.

Second Lennard Premiership and the Twilight Empire
Having become a household name and a popular hero in Amarillo, Lennard Poliocretes secured victory in the Amarillian elections of the 6th of December with ease. Having adopted pan-drakaen ideals, Lennard had worked under the prior administration to prepare a merger of the Kingdom of Amarillo and the Nachtenreich (A union of Regnum Yoake and several other small Drakaen states). This merger materialised 6 days later as the Twilight Empire of Amarillo, officially dissolving the Kingdom of Amarillo.

The Twilight Empire would however prove to be short lived, as only four days later it was forcibly dissolved by Simulami and Valreach. This caused briefly restored the Kingdom of Amarillo, before it merged with the Kingdom of Mordaine and the Kingdom of Kish to form the Amarilian Empire. The Kingdom of Amarillo would continue to exist as a state of the Amarillian Empire, Soronaca becoming both Emperor of Amarillo, at the Empire's scale, and King of Amarillo, at the Kingdom's scale, essentially making the Kingdom of Amarillo the least autonomous kingdom of the Empire, but the most important and prestigious.

Some times after the Second Amarillian civil war, on the 8th of May 2023, what remained of the Empire was dissolved by the Porphyropolitan population. The Kingdom became once again fully independent, becoming what can be called the Second Kingdom of Amarillo.
