Theocracy of Rasteria

The Theocracy of Rasteria was founded on 7/28/2021, The Rasterian's were an ancient people guided here by the goddess Rasteria herself. After their once mighty empire fell the descendants of the early Ratserian's set up their first town Gildar, named after the first apostle of Rasteria.

Government
The government type is a theocracy centered around their religion and Rasteria's teachings. The first king was chosen as the person (Choco1549) who established Gildar in Rasteria's name.

The way the government was set up was the king is the head of government and at the top of the command chain with absolute authority over almost all affairs within Rasteria. Next would be The Three Arrows which are a special three people choses by the king to be their closest advisors, and they have power only second to the king himself. Then the Kings Council which was proposed by the king himself after reading Rasteria's teachings, and realizing that even though the king has all the power within the nation they shouldn't act solely by themselves. The Kings Council is a group of 5 members that are there to consult the king about any decisions he might make and provide insight that may help the king make better decisions. The council though cannot veto any of the king's laws or decisions they can only advise. Next would be Marquis who are the province leaders in the country, and are respoinsible for governing the counts in their province, they reposrt directly to the king and are automatically placed on the Kings Council. Next would be Counts which are the owners of cities and towns within the nation.

In order to stay connected with the common folk, and hear their concerns and opinions the king proposed an idea that national assemblies be held where common folk and counts alike can voice their concerns and opinions to the king and his council to help them govern the people effectively. This is also where criminal trials, and other judiciary actions will be held.

The military has no say in terms of governance affairs. They are solely in charge of internal conflicts and external conflicts. Such as wars and the police force.

Counts and the common folk also have no official say in terms of governance, but they can attend the national assemblies to voice their opinions and concerns.

History of Battles/Wars
8/14/2021- "Battle of the Squatters" While Rasteria was under the Empire of Plagatea in Presevo the other Plagatean dominion (Plagatean Michinaru) illegally settled a group of people from unknown origin in the lands of Presevo 50 blocks away from the capital Gildar. The squatters proceeded to conduct covert operations within Ratseria and collect extensive information on the nation. After a lot of going back and forth between both parties no one reached a decisive resolution. The squatters were essentially allowed to do as they please for some time due to the slow pace of the Plagatean Administration (which wasn't their fault). After the Skjoldrbrodir acquisition of Seaside and Presevo after the Plagatean collapse Choco1549 knew that this was the time to act. Choco1549 promptly informed their new overlords of the squatter situation, and now that Presevo is in the hands of Skjoldbrodir their is no question that these people are not squatters. After receiving the okay to move in and exterminate the illegal residents Choco1549 organized a strike team consisting of Mrmonstaaa, Kagami69, JORDYNLMB2, miku_is_wifu, and himself to exterminate the illegal residents. The battle was short and decisive with an overwhelming Rasterian victory.

History of Rasteria
Rasteria was founded 7/28/2021 by Choco1549 under vassalage by the Plagatean government in Presevo. Rasteria's growth was stagnant for a while taking a bit to get off it's feet. The second town Historium was created on 7/30/2021 by Doc_Dot. Historium was created solely for farming and the production of raw materials. Historium quickly became of of the most developed towns in Rasteria. The Church of Rasteria was built on 8/1/2021. Rasteria grew steadily for some time. The third town Luna was created on 8/10/2021 by JORDYNLMB2.

First Rasterian Crisis
Rasteria experienced its first crisis during the week of 8/11/2021. The Magistrate of Plagatean Michinaru (Kardovia) claimed that Rasteria was there illegally and they were not authorized to create another town (Historium), and since they broke that law their towns will be seized and Choco1549 will be replaced. Choco1549 knowing full well of how Plagatean law works, and knew that Presevo and Plagatean Michinaru were separate colonies and had separate governance systems, therefore the Magistrate of Plagatean Michinaru had no jurisdiction over Presevo. The Magistrate of Presevo (Maze) gave Choco1549 authorization to stay in Presevo, and was also alarmed and angered by the claims of the Plagatean Michinaru Magistrate. The Magistrate of Plagatean Michinaru insisted that their rule was absolute, so Choco1549 decided to go to the Tagavor of The Empire of Plagatea (Nero) and get his conformation. Nero ruled in favor of Choco1549 ending the First Rasterian Crisis and establishing Ratserian legitimancy over the land.

Squatter Crisis/Kardovia V. Rasteria
For an unknown reason the magistrate of Plagatean Michinaru decided to settle two towns in Presevo; Luxenstein and Novastoria without the authorization from Maze (Magistrate of Presevo). Furthermore, these towns were within 50 blocks of the capital Gildar, and the people from the towns were doing covert operations within Rasterian land. These towns were clearly illegal and may had been put in place to curb Rasteria's growth/and or encroach on the freedoms of Presevo as a region. This took the immediate attention of all Rasterian citizens and Maze. Choco1549 asked the squatters several times to leave or integrate into Rasteria, the squatters refused. For a time it was just a high tension "Cold War" between Kardovia and Rasteria with Kardovia threatening war on several occasions. Tensions were high and both sides were preparing for the possibility of war. This continued until the collapse of the Empire of Plagatea in which Seaside and Presevo were transferred into the hands of Skjoldbrodir. Now that Presevo wasn't apart of Plagatea anymore the squatter were now undoubtedly in the wrong, for now they were illegally settling on another countries land. Choco1549 once again gave the squatters a choice to leave or be integrated into Rasteria, but they refused once again. So Choco1549 proceeded to organize a task force and remove the squatters by force.

9/15/21 The Rasterian military was founded and began it's organization. It's military acedemy also began construction on this date.

Rasteria Independance
9/21/20 The nation of Rasteria became independant from Skjoldrbrodir It's nation is free and will be governerd by Choco1549 from now on. This day will be celebrated for thousands of years to come, for this is the true founding of The Theocracy of Rasteria.
