Nexus

Nexus, formerly known as Pheonaria and Trinitatis Imperium, after uniting on the date of 09/17/2021 became official. The Empire of Nexus was a Constitutional/representative Monarchy found in Mid/West Eldham. It was led by the Emperors Ze_Flux, Tyrus (Reaps).

Having risen in the land long forgotten by men, far away from the eyes of Eldham, the first cities of the two Nations once stood, blessed with the names Phoenix II and Invicta. However, after the merge between the two nations, the forming of a new Capital took place, taking the name Phoenix, as a union between two great powers.

Nexus was ruled by two royal houses, the House of Reach and the House of Maximus.

Origins
Created on 17/09/2021 The Imp. Territory of Nexus only had 5 cities in its land before the merge. They were known as Phoenix II, Invicta, Icenberg, Fideon, and Oculisuoluptatem. The nation was in its early stages, for there was much to do within and outside of Eldham. The hard work and dedication found in the Imp. The territory of Nexus caught the attention of many and inspired them, forming much propaganda to continue the flourishment and development of the nation, allowing for it to gain at least 1 new citizen per day, a great feat and win at the time. The main focus was on the city of Phoenix, developing the capital, although most builders were in there, the nation continued to grow its other parts, starting many projects like The mainland expansion, which although never finished was a great project that ended in half. Also, projects like "The eastern expansion" and [Redacted] were started.

New Capital
When first created, discussion as to what the new Capital of Nexus should be had sprung throughout the land. A Nexus Island was suggested to be the capital of this new nation, however, due to the builders being unable to play often the idea became scrapped. In its place, The Roost was suggested, for it was already good-looking and had a lot of housing that could accommodate the needs of the nation. The city also underwent a name change, becoming known as Phoenix II. It was announced as the new capital of Phenoaria, and the island that was scrapped became known as Icenberg.

Merger
After both nations became close, having a relationship incomparable to any other, it was decided that Nexus and Nexus would merge and create the new Imperial Territory of Nexus. Little to no debate was found on the logistics of the merge, and Emperor Tyrus has pronounced Kaiser, in addition to Emperor Snowflake, and both of the governments merged into one, becoming the Senate. The new nation had been born.

The title agreed for the leaders became Kaiser, thus Kaiser Snowflake Dogeburg and Kaiser Tyrus Maximus (Reaps) were officially declared the new heads of the Empire.

U.F. dissolve
Following the Nexus - Kaladinia conflict the U.F. dissolved due to the hostile action of Kaladinia all the nations in it one by one became vassals of Nexus and Nexus became vassal of Uraka

Uraka vassalization and new vassals
After the dissolution of U.F. Uraka and Nexus have agreed on terms that Nexus will become a non-permanent vassal of Uraka, with rules stating that Nexus can buy its freedom in the future if they want. Following that many nations in the U.F. became part of Nexus with similar terms and conditions like the once given by Uraka to Nexus.

Government reforms
After all the conflicts Nexus has suffered which hold the Empire back, Nexus was finally starting to prosper again with one of the first things to be done the Kaisers were now called Emperors, and after that, it finally became time for Nexus to have its first heads of the empire vote.

The Vote
The Vote is a big part of Nexus' history as it was when the senate was changed for the first time. Most of the old senate, most of whom were tired and not active, were replaced with a new government of an active senate. The debates started on the date of 10/31/2021, but the official vote began on the date of 11/03/2021. The vote continued for a day with the candidates: Flux, Zero, Namen, Biba, Phoenix (no relation to name), Reddragoon, NotBlake, Assassin, Simba, and Holy. (there is no order in the names) All running for different positions the winners were: Biba, Flux, Zero, NotBlake, Holy.

Coronation
After Emperor Tyrus showed little to no sign of activity for an extended period, Emperor Snowflake summoned the Senate to discuss what action should be taken with the Maximus throne. The vote was 5/6, and the heir of the Maximus throne, Tyrus' granddaughter Elre Maximus was declared Empress. The rise to power was later confirmed by Emperor Tyrus, who also agreed to make her the new Empress.

The Age Of Military Reform
On 03/05/2022, Kostirip announced a series of reforms to be brought upon Nexus, the reform with the most effort placed into it is the military. It was decided that the leader of the Nexus Army would go to Field Marshal Russian Soldier. Under Russian's eye, the military was more centralized from the civilian aspect of Nexus, Fort Fluss was Nexus's army center, with its bank reflecting the army budget, and Nexus welcomed many very skilled soldiers into its ranks.

The Kragmen Dispute
On 03/03/2022, the newly united nation of Morladron Mysterlu established the town of Kragmen in the vassal state of New Olmeria after illegally purchasing the land from New Olmeria. Nexus responded by requesting that Morladron cease its claims on the town. When they refused, Nexus threatened war. Morladron proceeded to bash Nexus multiple times in its newspapers, "Morladron Packet," leading Marshal Russian Soldier to threaten, "we will go down there and wipe your pathetic nation off the face of the fucking map." The Dispute was "settled' upon the selling of the Kragmen territory to Sylvania by Nexus. This soured Nexus's relationship with Morladron, who viewed the deal as illegitimate.

Nexus Independence
On 04/14/2022, following the Old Banner Rebellion and the collapse of the Uraki Imperium, Nexus subsequently declared independence as the Third Empire of Nexus. Upon the declaration, many in Nexus celebrated its newfound freedom. However, many in the government grew weary of their ever more imperialist neighbor, who emerged from the fall of Uraka, the Dandelion Empire, which later became The Imperium. Worries about the Imperium's possible intentions and that many in its government were once members of the Uraki government, many in Nexus believed that there was no point in trying to continue the nation and subsequently left Stoneworks as a whole. This exodus of citizens led to what would be known as the inactive/dark ages.

The Inactive/Dark Ages
The period from late April to early July is recognized in Nexus as the Dark ages. This period was full of inactivity and decline for Nexus. Other nations attempted and succeeded in nibbling pieces off of the once prosperous and reached its climax with the Nexus Civil war.

The Zaidan Crisis
On 06/08/2022, A group calling themselves the Pirate State of Zaidan settled in Nexus's western territories and claimed them as their own. Emperor Tyrus's first call was to declare war on what he saw as a small squatter group, although the conflict was concluded and a peace deal made when it became apparent that the small group was being supported by large Rathnir groups such as Lunaris. Tyrus ultimately signed the Treaty of Zaidan, giving the new state a large chunk of western land. This decision caused disdain in the government towards Tyrus, as the Treaty was signed without Tyrus consulting the rest of the government. This ordeal led to the government conspiring to oust Tyrus as the Sovereign of Nexus.

Impyrae Arkanaem
On 06/11/2022, Impyratrix of Arktania, Juni, announced that the nations of Arktania, Oceanum, and Nexus would be merging into what would be called Impyrae Arkanaem. Emperor Tyrus consulted the Nexus government about the merger. However, due to Tyrus deciding without the government's consent, the ministers in Nexus attempted to seize the situation and undo Tyrus's actions, with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Namenloxy announcing, ''"The government of Nexus is currently investigating the accusations against Tyrus Olmero. The main reason are the allegations of making multiple decisions without the permission of the government and of withholding information about multiple things from the senate." "Until the situation is resolved however we need to ask you to not sign any documents with either side as we can't ensure the validity of further agreements at this point."'' The announcement was largely ignored, and Nexus was still primarily recognized to be part of Impyrae Arkanaem up to its dissolution on 06/29/2022. The Minister of Defense, Russian Soldier, held a poll for those in the government who disapproved of the merger. Out of the nine acting government officials, seven voted against the merge, and Tyrus's decision to keep Nexus in Impyrae Arkanaem, even after the vote, further lowered his reputation in the government.

The Loss of Alzaria
Later on 06/11/2022, Alzaria and Thalassos declared independence from Nexus and joined Morladron and Andrimar, respectively. The declarations were controversial, as it was believed that Cloudy, the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Alzaria," was just a Morladron citizen sent in to give Morladron some sense of legitimacy to annex the territory. Morladron threatened war with Nexus if they did not recognize the annexation. Due to the Imperium's mutual defense pact with Morladron, Emperor Tyrus Olmerio was scared into signing an agreement with Morladron, seeding Alzaria to Morladron. This decision further shattered Tyrus's reputation among the rest of the Nexus government, as Tyrus also made the agreement without consulting the government.

Annexation by Oceanum
After the dissolution of Impyrae Arkanaem, Emperor Tyrus silently made an agreement with Oceanum, which would end in Oceanum temporarily annexing Nexus. This decision was considered the final straw for most in the government and talks about overthrowing Tyrus began. Eventually, Russian Soldier convinced Tyrus to split from Oceanum, and told Tyrus that if he gave Russian full control over Nexus, he would be able to fix all the mistakes made in the past.

The Scuffed Election
After nearly convincing Emperor Tyrus to give total control of Nexus, Russian's plans were brought to a grinding halt when Minister Namenloxy suggested to Tyrus that he should hold an election for who would be the leader of Nexus. Russian was against such elections, seeing them as ineffective time usage, and claimed that they only delayed the inevitable. Throughout the election season, many policies, such as the two-month rule, stated that citizens had to be a part of Nexus for two months to vote. Though Russian agreed with some of these policies, he felt that the election holders were undermining them to cull his inevitable victory. A small sub-election was made by a Nexus royal, seeing whom the citizens would vote for, counting legitimate voters, Russian won the vote 10-3 against Tyrus. This only further proved his point that the elections were delaying the inevitable. The final straw for Russian was when Namenloxy created a voter registration system less than 24 hours before the election. Russian saw this as a blatant attempt to subvert his chances of winning, and upon voicing them, he was banished from Nexus for being "a threat to the security and democracy of Nexus." This banishment led straight into the Nexus Civil War.

The Nexus Civil War
On 07/09/2022, Russian Soldier announced his intentions to coup the current Nexus government under Tyrus, stating "Tyrus Olmero is an insufficient leader, whose blunders have caused foreseeable unrest and disarray throughout the land we call home, which has affected us directly". Upon this declaration. The Nexus government disintegrated, with most members joining Russians junta or leaving Stoneworks entirely. Tyrus, knowing he would stand no chance against this coup alone, vassalized the remaining Nexus territories into Scylding, causing Russian to claim that Tyrus could not rule without being a puppet. Although there was no official battle in the war, it was widely seen by many as the end of Nexus. Zaidan also gave their support on the side of the junta.

Sides
After the Nexus Military Junta's declaration, Tyrus's Nexus underwent government changes under Scylding. The Third Empire of Nexus was rebranded as just the Kingdom of Nexus and was supported by Scylding. The Nexus Military Junta had the majority of Nexus's popular support in the war, with many former government officials supporting it either vocally or physically, including Ze_Flux, Snowflake, Leeboss, Assassin, KostiRIP, Sphen, and Holy. In contrast, Tyrus had the physical support of John Doe and Biba. Namenloxy refused to support either due to their un-democratic practices. Thanks to help from Russians new defense minister, Englxnd, he was able to get the support of the Horde to fight Scylding.

Skirmishes
Though there wasn't a major battle, there were definitely skirmishes and town raids in the war. The first clash came when Biba and Tyrus attacked Fort Fluss, catching Russian off guard and killing him
