Manganien

Manganien was a small nation located in southeastern Leifmyrr. It was given its land from The Promised Land of Alzaria. Alzaria saved the people of Manganien from being destroyed by The Free States of Tortuga, after the first city of Manganien had tried to become independent of Tortuga, resulting in its destruction.

Founding
Manganien was founded two times. The first time Manganien was founded in the land of The Free States of Tortuga. This first city got destroyed by Tortuga and the ruins are the all that remained from this once great city. The second city was founded on the September 25th 2021 in the promised land of Alzaria but was not independent at first.

The First City of Manganien


The first city of Manganien was founded by Mcmuffin in the Eldham colony of Tortuga. This city was rebellious, unlike the the other settlements in the colony. On the September 15th 2021, Mcmuffin declared the city's independence, along with swathes of surrounding land. Tortuga responded by denouncing the claim and planned to fight the city to submission. But the Manganiens fled and the city fell before any battle was fought. Lava can be found in the walls of the ruined city. Most of the people that lived in the nation of Manganien never lived in the old city so the Manganien historian Alex Richardson started his first expedition to what he called "The Lost City" sometime after its destruction, after finding a map in the Manganien storage that led to this Lost City. Some of what is known about the first city of Manganien is based on the excavations of Alex Richardson and the things that he found out about the history.

Richardsons Timeline of Manganien History

 * 1) Richardson thinks that Manganien was first founded in June 2021 . How ever he doesn't know the exact date of the founding.
 * 2) Manganien growth bigger and bigger so Tortuga noticed Manganien and asked or forced them to join Tortuga (If Manganien joined Tortuga is unknown)
 * 3) Manganien people somehow meet the people of Alzaria.
 * 4) Manganien for some reason declared independence from Tortuga and Tortuga didn't liked it.
 * 5) We don't know for sure but we can tell, because of the ruins, that Manganien either got attacked or they had to left the city very fast.
 * 6) Because of their got relationships to Alzaria Manganien was allowed to settle in the territory of Alzaria.

This list is not very precisely yet, but Alex Richardson is still researching on the history of Manganien and this list will be updated as sonn as new informations are known.

Side facts about Manganien that don't fit into the Timeline yet:

 * Manganien was built from the coast in to the land. You can tell because of the building style and because all houses were built on the harbor base.
 * In Manganien there was organized crime. By taking a closer look at Manganiens base Richardson found a black market under the walls of Manganien.
 * Manganien was communist for a very short time.
 * Manganien, despite its large and magnificent buildings, was a very poor city because there were not taxes. The citizens where rich but the city was poor.

The Second City of Manganien
After the people of Manganien had to leave there old city Alzaria offered the Emperor, McMuffin29, that they could found a new nation in the territory of Alzaria. So the people began building the new nation and a time known as resurrection began.

Death of the first Emperor
Just after a few days in the new land the Emperor McMuffin29 got kidnapped by Tortuga soldiers. One day later his body was found in the swamp behind the city. McMuffin29 dreamed of big, wealthy and independent nation. He sacrificed many lives and even cities for this goal, but he could never witness Manganien as a independent nation. In the meantime, however, there are doubts whether the emperor was really kidnapped by Tortugan soldiers.

The Golden Age
After McMuffin29 death his son DerChicker became Emperor of Manganien and with him Manganien should experience a time known as The Golden Age of Manganien. The first thing that the new Emperor did was to mark Manganien on the map as an independent state to continue the legacy of his father. A few days later he joined the United Federation to protect Manganien from being destroyed or invaded by bigger nations or bandits.

The offer of Santos
Just a few years ofter Manganien could finally be an officially independent state the Emperor of Santos messaged the Emperor of Manganien. He said that Santos was once a huge nation in the east of Eldham but got invaded by Newkunir and that they were trying to get their old land back. So they made Manganien an offer. If Manganien would join Santos, Manganien would get full autonomy and could be a part of the Santos Lore. They also offered DerChicker to become a part of the Santos Royal Family. DerChicker responded to the offer of Santos with this:

''„We are really sorry that you lost your lands but so have we. You lost more land than we but it feels the same. We fought so long and gave so much. We just got independence after all this time and now we should give it up after not even a day?“''

Surprisingly the emperor of Santos didn't threaten with war or something like this. He totally understood that Manganien would like to stay independent and said that he isn't trying to get back his land by force but that the offer still stands.

Government
The form of Government was a representative monarchy. The head of the nation and the representative for the country was of course the emperor. Ho ever the emperor still has a lot of power. The Emperor was in full control of the army and was after Sol the highest rank in the nation. The emperor holds the elections and hosts the events inside the nation. The highest rank after the emperor was the rank of the president. The president was democratically voted by the people every 2 weeks. The president decides if the nation will join a federation or not, makes alliances with other nations and makes new laws. The actions of the president are controlled by the citizen council. The citizen council consists out of all citizens of Manganien. The citizen council can veto the laws and decisions of the president and can make suggestions for new laws.

The Muffin Dynasty
The Muffin Dynasty was founded on the day when Manganien was first founded by McMuffin29. He declared himself emperor of the new land and so he was the first emperor of the Muffin Dynasty. The logo of the Muffin Dynasty is based on the old flag design of the Manganien flag. It shows a golden skull and bones logo on a black background. The old flag design of the Manganien flag has been dropped ages ago but the logo of the Muffin Dynasty remained.

The Muffin Dynasty consists out of the old emperor McMuffin29 and his son DerChicker. However McMuffin29 got adopted by xand999 wich technically also makes him a part of the Muffin Dynasty.

Flag and National Anthem
Every city in Manganien got a different flag design, but the flag base was always the same. Flag of Manganien:

Flag of Watford:

Flag of Pendle:

This flag design was the official flag design of the old Manganien but also of the new Manganien. But there was an other design that was used in the first years after Manganien joined The Free States of Tortuga.

National Anthems
As there were multiple flags there also were different anthems. The first anthem of Manganien was used from the first founding of Manganien until the fall of the Lost City. The text was first published in the book "Great Emperor" by McMuffin29. It was a book about how to behave in front of an emperor and other informations about the country. The first anthem used the melody of "God save the Queen" but had a slightly different text:

Sol save our gracious King,

Long live our noble King,

Sol save the King!

Send him victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us;

Sol save the King!

O Lord, our God arise,

Scatter his enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

Sol save us all!

Thy choicest gifts in store

On his be pleased to pour;

Long may he reign;

May he defend our laws

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice,

Sol save the King!

After the refounding of Manganien the old anthem was changed to the anthem of the GDR "Rising out of ruins" because it fits perfectly with the situation that Manganien has gone through.

Religion
All Manganien people had to follow the Order of Sol. This was because the old Manganien was part of the Confederated States under Sol. In order to join this confederation all people of Manganien had to convert to the Order of Sol. The new Manganien left this confederation after Alzaria asked if Manganien wants to join a new federation with Alzaria. But the people of Manganien kept the religion because Sol helped them trough all their problems and struggles and let them settle on his holy land.
