First Kingdom of Amarillo

The Kingdom of Amarillo was an Amarillian state that occupied the Ragdon Peninsula, Aurica and other smaller territories. It 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 of Poliorcetes and Kyani, at the hands of the Imperilan-Republican Alliance, it was presumed that all remaining resitance in the Mohadi territories would be squashed and a new Republic would be formed. However, to the surprise of all and the dismay of his republican allies, Imperilan Soronaca, leader of the Imperial-Republican forces, decided to compromise with the royalist remnants and allowed Kawaii to become King of Amarillo under a constitutional monarchy. This compromise was made in a rushed effort to conclude the war as to prevent foreign intervention and further bloodshed. 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, the signing of the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo (A pan-Drakaen MDP) and Amarillo's accession to the Drakaen Commonwealth.

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.

On the 25th of June the Drakaen Commonwealth would dissolve and parliament would vote to impeach McBabwe due to a lack of confidence in his diplomatic skills and for delegating duties to minsiters. The vote would pass by a single flip-flop 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 announce the Kingdom's disregard for Gardenia's past sins and pledged to support them against Limuria in the Lemur Reconquista, justified by the Treaty of Puerto Amarillo. By the 12th of July, the Gardenians surrendered and a fruitless bid to seize control of northern Taernsbia was made.

On the 13th of July King Kawaii "the Sun King" 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 Operation Selema 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 and manpower necessary to connect Pasifa's territory to the seabed but Pasifa rejected and instead requested a humble sum of $50,000 to handle the operation themselves. Soronaca believed that Pasifa had no right to offer a counter-offer regardless of how trivial since it had poor relations with most Drakaen states, leading him to declare that diplomatic means had failed. This move was called irrational by critics, who claimed it was nonesensical to go to war over Pasifa requesting minor compensation for having to adjust its territory. Amarillo was supported by Regnum Yoake and the VVR.

On the 25th of September the First Battle of 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 much of the city, leaving it in ruins for a prolonged period of time. The battle is considered inconclusive, as no side made any decisive progress.

On the 2nd of October Pasifan forces launched the raid of Asturus. Here they flooded much of the peninsula, freezing supply lines for several dies and causing minor casualties. Asturus was far away from the war's frontlines and held no strategic value. Furthermore, Pasifan forces 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, a Republican sympathiser, was elected Prime Minister. 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 Amarillian forces suffered a significant defeat in the Second Battle of Suzukafun. After this victory, Pasifans offered a peace treaty to Amarillo, which King Soronaca made public. The Treaty of Romantello would have been a savagely harsh peace which would've effectively destroyed the Amarillian state. This peace offer caused uproar and condemnation towards Pasifa.

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 claimed it'd be Pasifa's own fault if he did.

Lennard's term came to a conclusion and he was replaced by Letizia Poliocretes, who was elected Prime Minister on the 11th of Novemeber. Two weeks later, Letizia's administration would achieve a peace settlement with Pasifa. The war concluded with Amarillo withdrawing from Pasifan territories, the Pasifans agreeing to pay hefty reparations to Amarillo and to collaborate with the lowering of sea levels.

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 in technicality as a state of the Amarillian Empire but held no political autonomy from the Imperial government.
