Kryvonea

The Kaiserreich of Kryvonea (Traveler's Tongue: Dea Kaeseriás vé Kryvonea), which succeeded the Republic of Volonté, is currently a province under the Dominion of Vankria and is located on the continent of Leifmyrr. Kryvonea's provincial capital Kenka, as of the date of this writing, is actively being developed and renovated. The province has borders with the nations of U.S.S.E, Skyra, Sylvania, Jorthar, Samora, Orisifell, Santos, Robeleduk, L.P.U, and the G.I.R. It is currently led by Emperor Yigon Indragiri.

𝐈. A New State, a New Regime
After the fall of the Republic of Volonté (January 8, 2022), Emporer Nykolaus vé Aeseris (Nicholas) who was the instigator of the fall of the Republic of Volonté, Declared the nation as the Tsardom of Krivoniya and to be governed as an absolute monarchy. Initially, the nation seemed to have been running fine, even with Krivoniya securing a vassalization agreement with the Urakan Imperium. However not all things were as good as they seemed, with a coup d'état which was instigated by Johanes Kuzen (also known as Koosh) against the emperor. Despite the fact Kuzen died from unknown causes, sending an end to a coup, it exposed signs of severe demographic and economic weakness that plagued the nation.

Later time, the Tsar’s son, Theodorico vé Aeserís (Templars), was assigned as the mayor of the city of Alvero and later was promoted to the position of Minister of Culture. As the new Minister of Culture, he implemented a series of cultural reforms which are now dubbed the "Krivoniyan Renaissance" which had him organize various festivals and activities that helped the nation crawl out of the economic depression it once laid in.

𝐈𝐈.      Small Reforms and Time of Troubles
Memories of the attempted coup by Johanes Kuzen (Koosh) resurfaced when Crusader attempted to seize power by force three and a half years later. At the time, Crusader was a citizen of Oceanum and sought to install a puppet ruler in the person of Marco Sauhen (Sohowe) in order for Oceanum to gain more international power. However, Theodorico vé Aeserís (Templars) and Livina Zaiser (Firefly) learned of this plot and people from the Heartlands and Tovik gathered in Kenka to arrest Sohowe.

Eventually, his Majesty's age began to finally catch up to him, resulting in him falling ill and the tsarina consort, Robinia vé Aeserís, being forced to succeed him. The new empress would eventually proclaim the tsardom as the Kaiserreich of Kryvonea. However, the newly appointed Empress would later reform the Kaiserreich into the Kaeseriás of Kryvonea which became a parliamentary monarchy, and for the first time since the fall of Volonté, a democracy. During her reign, various reforms were implemented with the goal of softening the county's depression, which included the creation of the Templar's Hill Estate and the Heartlands irrigation scheme, as well as the creation of a new religion, the Holy Aetherian Orthodoxy, which became a state religion which slightly softened the blow to the nation during its crisis. Finally, she proclaimed the nation as a parliamentary monarchy, and for the first time since the fall of Volonté, a democracy.

With the proclamation of a parliamentary in the government, led to an election campaign to elect the first parliament. The resulting outcome of the election led the Konstyllienís vé Kryvonea Parteás to step into power victorious. It was also during this time that the position of Chancellor was assigned to Livina Zaiser (Firefly) when Arne Rosenfeld (Ted) became the Statelios and Rylenios of the nation. Despite this, several months of deliberations would lead to the Triple coalition of which containing the three main political parties of Kryvonea being instituted.

Theodorico vé Aeserís, still holding his status of Minister of Culture, put in place several reforms and projects, including the adoption of Caranthean as the national language, under the name of Kryvoneís, but also the recognition of the four regional languages, and finally an excavation of the ruins of Caranthea.

Despite the beginnings of this new government being of times of peace, new internal troubles resurfaced. An attempt to secede was announced from the city of Ellesmere was organized, to join the country of Sylvania. However, this secession ultimately was a failure for the rebels as it was thought they had the support of both Uraka and Oceanum. This led to some of the rebels to illegally founding an outpost city named Donza, in Augolia. The outpost was built on a strategic point, and after deliberation between the rebellious occupants and Kryvonean officials, it was decided that the outpost would be fully integrated into the Empire.

It was also during this time period that Kryvonea once again experienced even more political changes including the fall of Uraka freeing the nation from her hands and the creation of a new constitution which was written by Arne Rosenfeld (Ted). It is also during this time, after a little more than three years in office, Livina Zaiser (Firefly) decided to resign as Chancellor. Before leaving, they advised the parliament to elect Halberto Zaiser (Rough) as the new Chancellor. Halberto Zaiser (Rough), who was independent of all parties, was elected to a misunderstanding of the parliament, which was not aware of his appointment.

𝐈𝐈𝐈.     New Difficulties: Wars and Weakening of the Imperial Power.
Chaos decided to look down on the nation as it erupted around the nation. The Turban clan, which was led by Hurun Bonecrusher (Templars) and the Nameless Killer (Tobii) attacked the city of Kenka with 3 attempted assaults on its farms, and two attacks on the northern ramparts. With reports of the damage clan the Guardian Knight of Aeseris arrived to the city to defend against the attacks. The battle between the knights and the clan ended strangely as Hurun Bonecrusher appeared to have become confused on the battlefield. Wasting no time Arne Rosenfeld (Ted) struck a blow at the confused man a blow that would, in a very strange way, be fatal for the clan leader. Out of his odd state and going mad, he rushed from the heights of a cliff, knowing only death.

In these troubled times, Halberto Zaiser (Rough) decided to appoint Theodorico vé Aeserís (Templars) as vice-chancellor. However, after several years of illness, His Majesty Nykolaus vé Aeserís had finally succumbed to his illness, and the Empress, Robinia vé Aeserís, died of grief. Arthur vé Aeserís (Tobii), their son, would then later ascend to the position of the monarch of the nation. He was crowned in the church of the Holy Aetherian in Ellesmere. But a few months after his coronation, the young monarch, and the chancellor Halberto Zaiser (Rough) fell ill. With these fatal blows to the government, Renvick vé Aeserís (Renvick) was appointed as chancellor and Theodorico vé Aeserís (Templars) was appointed as the new head of government.

𝐈V.     New Alliances and Rivalries.
The first important points of contact with new foreign nations since the fall of Uraka was the signing of a vassalization treaty with Arktania and the second was an alliance between Kaeserías and Samora.

At the same time, the city of Caograd emerged from the earth by the hand of Clockist migrants who came to settle in Kryvonea after being defeated in the Vulperium - Atlechia war that ended in them being exiled and unsettled.

𝐈.     The Voice of the People.
It had been a month since the Caograd migrants had arrived in Krivoniya. The election period was about to begin, but everything changed when the Clockist's created their own political party dubbed “The People's Party of Krivoniya.” The party was led by four prominent figures of which were Yigon Indragiri, the founder of Clockism; Cao Sung, the mayor of Caograd; Cross Olea, a Military General in Sylvania, and Esellipion, the Head Builder, and a Zealous Clockist Soldier.

The political coalition attracted most Krivoniyan citizens and even a prominent government member in it’s support. The people of Krivoniya wanted a change in the system led by inactive government officials and a weak Keaseros, the PPK was a shining light in the collapsing nation.

By the will of the people, the People's Party was elected with Yigon Indragiri as the Chancellor and nearly the entirety of the Parliament being taken by Clockists. Everyone rejoiced at the concept of the country's revival, with the exception of the government, specifically Ted Hasting's, the Speaker of the Parliament.

Even though most of the people were happy, there was a group of people that despised the arrival of the threat of Clockist's. This was the Unitary Party of Krivoniya, who were bitter at the loss in the elections and claimed that they were rigged. Their leader Dwyer_280 decided to declare a revolution with the towns of Ellesmere, led by Quixoticly and Donza. This forced the government to respond to the rebellion with force with the support of Samora and their overlord Arktania. The battle that began between the Kaeseros (Clocklists and Tobbi) against the rebellion was a long hard fought one, but eventually would lead to the Kaeseros to step out victorious.

𝐈𝐈.     Betrayal, Independence, Invasion
Following the aftermath of the civil war, Kryvonea’s overlord Arktania, against the wishes of it’s vassal, would illegally gift Kryvonean lands (more specifically Kronetsk) to the People’s Republic of Merkonis due to Merkonis recently acting up and displaying hostile behavior. With this action from its overlord, Kryvonea would eventually move to become more independent from its protector, and would later gain independence in (state time of independence). At the time that Chancellor Yigon would rise to office, Kryvonea and Merkonis were already previously not on friendly relations. The leaders of Merkonis would harass, threaten, and try to convince Kryvonean officials attempting to make Kryvonea a vassal of them. Eventually, Merkonis would realize that its attempt of vassalizing Kryvonea would prove futile, leaving them to try another route. Merkonis would propose to Kryvonea to a merger between the 2 countries. This proposal would not last for long, as Merkonian government documents detailing plans of Merkonis's government assisting a coup led by former Kryvoneans hidden in the lands of Kronetsk against Kryvonea's current government would be leaked to Kryvonea’s government.

With the result of the situation, Kryvonea would end up standing on hostile relations with Merkonis with even a feather able to set the 2 nations for a long battle. However, Merkonis would not understand the thin line it had with Kryvonea and would decide to declare an invasion on Invictia. Hearing, news of the invasion on Invicta without any solid reasoning, Kryvonea would support the nation of Invicta (Invicta would also later decide to fully integrate into Kryvonea on its own accord) against the invaders of Merkonis. The defensive war of Invicta did not go well for Merkonis, with it failing to capture key objectives. This led the defenders to take the opportunity given to them and send a counter invasion onto Merkonis’s own lands. This counter invasion became much more successful than intended, achieving the deaths or captures of almost the entirety of the Merkonis government and the overtaking of Merkonis’s lands, including Kronetsk of which would have its former King (Ted) reinstated as its provincial governor. Seeing the tides that had turned onto them, the remaining Merkonis government and pro-Merkonis individuals would attempt to rebel but ultimately were suppressed as they were too few and weak.

𝐈𝐈𝐈.     Return of the Old
With the defeat of the Merkonis government the Kaiserreich of Kryvonea would properly form to have a monarchy consisting of the royal family, high council, ministry,

𝐈. Ethnicities:
Kryvonea is a land of multiple cultures, actually four to be precise. Each one has its own traditions, language, and architecture. But also unique gastronomy and literature. Only the monarchy, the love of the nation and the vodka unite the so diverse Kaeseriàs.
 * The Heartlanders who dominate the center of Kaeseriàs have been hardened by the barren lands, fighting against nature itself. Every Heartlander is born with the dream of transforming the desert into a lush garden. Highly religious, they embrace the ideals of chivalry as well as unparalleled hospitality. They also like to make decisions in groups, easily forming councils or assemblies.


 * The Augolians, living in the eastern regions, are a culture of resistance, hard work and a strong desire for self-reliance. The heavily fortified cities of this culture are also designed to contain the greatest natural beauty.


 * The Tovikians are a people with a strong belief in science, knowledge and innovation. These lords of the horse, are great warriors, but one should not think that they are nomadic barbarians, on the contrary. Their capital Kenka is a masterpiece of architecture, and its fortifications make most cities pale. Life in the desert has not made them cold, on the contrary they have a great hospitality.


 * The Norterreños were hardened by the cold lands of the north, which contrasts greatly with the arid lands of the Heartlands. These famously hospitable merchants are also known for their cities hidden by the dense forests of the eternal north. This culture also produces very good diplomats.
