Early days of the Diarchy
On September 27th, 2021, the Kingdoms of Seaside and Baronov formed the nation of Seaside-Baronov, a diarchy ruled by both the Seaside and Baronovian monarchs. King North and King Jaxfon were originally close friends, and would often work together on all things politics, with both getting support from each other on decisions and the future of the nation. Despite this however, Seaside was struggling as recruitment was low, unlike Baronov, who was thriving as recruitment was high with ever growing political connections with neighbors and allies. This would change however as St.Acol would take control of Seaside, and help build and foster a thriving society. However this was done with purely Seaside nationalism in mind, with strong connections to his religion. This would cause tensions between the nations to rise and break down, with the last straw being when St.Acol sold some islands and establishing a new nation without consulting the Baronovian king.

Civil War
After relations broke down between both kingdoms, fearing that the diarchy may fall apart, Jaxfon proposed to the Seaside-Baronov's Strategic Intelligence Agency (SIA) that removing St.Acol and installing a new king may be an option to keep the S-B intact and to restore Seaside back to his dream and vision. The head of SIA at the time, Shwointshounburg, was entrusted in this operation which was named Operation Valkyrie. Over a week or so went into planning, and on January 24th, Jaxfon would make a declaration that St.Acol was removed of his Von Blarg status, and to no longer be considered a Von Blarg, with demands stating that he must give up power to Jaxfon until he can find an heir. St.Acol refused, and made a campaign instating that Seaside would leave the union, declaring independence. Despite this being illegal within the S-B constitution, St.Acol admitted he never read the constitution in the first place despite signing it. The SIA would then share evidence and other intel with high ranking Seasiders like the heir ZMW7 and city architect and recruiter Nik907 to recruit them into the Operation. By January 26, all of Seaside's elites and active members were a part of the S-B. In able to counter this, St.Acol would make a poll asking if people should remove him, however he would later remove people from the poll who voted against him. Later that day, Nik907 would be appointed the new king, where St.Acol supposedly would then steal 53 diamonds and gaslight and frame the king for damaging crops in able to ban him from the kingdom. St.Acol however would dispute this claiming he was being set up. With support of Aurora Novum, Solitudinem, Nova-Regna, Alamayn, OPTC, Zemlya, and Bardonia, as well as mercenaries from the Circus, the S-B would later go to war against St.Acol's army of mercenaries and Skjoldrbodir volunteers. Eleusis, a small nation made in St.Acol's illegally sold islands, would later declare neutrality. St.Acol, was then dethroned and would leave the S-B forever. According to Intelligence, St.Acol never paid anyone for the war, and Skjoldrbodir was involved due to Kolbeck Banking making a really bad loan. After the war, relations with the Skjoldrbodir hit an all time low, as their involvement was seen as a means of destabilizing and destroying the nation to seize power, despite AC0N claiming it was purely for money, which SIA disputes.

Reconstruction and NERP
Seaside, after the civil war, had begun to invest heavily in expanding and federalizing the S-B, and strengthening it's union. Around this time, NERP, or North Eastern Rathnir Pact would be established with Aurora Novum, Veldion, Solitudinem, Nova-Regna, Alamayn, OPTC, Zemlya and Czervoslavia taking part.

Government
The S-B consists of a Diarchy, with both kings from the Von Blarg and Norcician monarch being the official candidates for the kingship, as enforced by the constitution. As outlined, the Kings are overlooked by the General Assembly, made up of 3 members who head a department. Each department was made to play a crutial role in the development of the nation, but also to prevent overstepping of each kingdom's norms and values.

It is most notable for Operation Valkyrie, where it overthrew one of it's own King, as well as Operation Kaiserhof which was an abandoned attempt to overthrow the Eleusis King Dampswamp, however he stepped down prior to the operation going through. The SIA was also the first in Rathnir to utilize redstone contraptions during war time, mostly of UoB design. The SIA has become inoperable ever since it's head, Shwointshounburg resigned, as it's role has no longer served it's purpose.
