Kingdom of Nanois

The Kingdom of Nanois, officially "le Royaume de Nanois", was founded on July 8th, 2023, by King Asthmatic Manchini-Saintistel, when offered land of the former city of Almmore. The Kingdom of Nanois is a constituent nation of Greater Plagos, therefor it won't be visible on the world maps in the StoneWorks Cartographer Guild, and is part of the North Sparwood Federation.

Pre-Historic
Before the Foundation, several cultures and civilizations lived in the present-day Kingdom of Nanois. First, was the Kingdom of Almmore. Many of the buildings of the Kingdom of Almmore still stand underneath Ville de Nanois.

Sometime after Almmore, another civilization amerged, and covered the entirety of the Almmori housing district. They built ontop of the city and it's roads, leveling the city out. Many of their buildings used deepslate.

Foundation
The Kingdom of Nanois was founded when the Granduer of the United Territories of Kostuco offered Asthmatic the land of the former industrial city of Almmore, an industrial Kingdom founded under the Tortugan Sphere of Influence. This offered the House of Dominika & Saintistel a throne of their own, and their own nation to rule. Asthmatic accepted the offer, with the conditions of keep the religious temple as it was.

Soon after the formation of the capital city, Ville de Nanois, Asthmatic, along with several key builders and figures from other nations, began transforming the newly founded Ville de Nanois into a lovely, desirable city - removing all of the dark and grungy deepslate.

King Asthmatic, government officials, and citizens came together and planned the new Ville de Nanois. During the planning stages, King Asthmatic was given permission from the Union (United Territories of Kostuco) that he could remove the religious temple in the Site Religieux Aborigène. The nation rejoiced when they heard the news, as they could truly build the nation they envisioned.

Fall of Kostuco & Grand Castell-Llozhar Dispute
The United Territories of Kostuco had internal issues, with the leaders disagreeing and declaring war on each other. Eventually, within two days, a new union formed, the North Sparwood Federation. During the fall and rise of the new union and federation, the Kingdom of Nanois remained neutrals and vouched for a peaceful resolution of the conflict, understanding both sides. However, diplomacy failed.

Shortly after, Grand Castell-Llozhar had illegally occupied and annex territory of the Kingdom of Nanois, and continued to expand and changed it on all maps of Rathnir, considering the cartographers guild was owned by the leaders of Grand Castell-Llozhar. Concerned and worried about the chance of war to annex the Kingdom of Nanois, King Asthmatic started recruiting for the Navy by offering $10,000 immediately upon joining. During diplomatic talks, Grand Castell-Llozhar officials remained quiet and refused to respond to questions of leaders from the North Sparwood Federation and the Kingdom of Nanois. It was later determined that the land was part of Thallassi, and was rightfully part of Grand Castell-Llozhar.

Meanwhile, much of Ville de Nanois was being developed and more citizens began to join the nation.

Arrondissement Ville de Nanois
Arrondissement Ville de Nanois is the largest, and only claimed, arrondissement in the Kingdom of Nanois. Named after the city, Ville de Nanois (which in turn was named after the nation), holds the capital city and is the western-most arrondissement of the nation. The arrondissement encircles the Site Religieux Aborigène. To the east, sits the Montouse River (Rivière Montouse), which servers as a border between the Kingdom of Nanois and the Queendom of Dominika. To the south, lies Lake Bayan (Lac Bayan) and the Bonsac River (Rivière Bonsac).

The arrondissement was part of a territorial dispute with Grand Castell-Llozhar who annex Thallassi (who illegally occupied the region). Although discussions were peaceful, it was determined that the land was rightfully under Thallassi and never was under Plagos, therefore, it was Grand Castell-Llozhar's land.

Important to the native population of the area, the Kingdom of Nanois have made it a safe zone for those who wanted to practice their religion.
