People's Republic of Merconis

The People's Republic of Merconis (PRM) is a small semi-insular socialist failed state originally founded as a microstate upon an island off the coast of continental Onthukhan in Eldham. In the past, it was a Protectorate of the United Socialist States of Eldham, however, after the Sand War, it was sold to Uraka as it failed to accept the peace terms of integration into the USSE. It was founded by players Mortimus and Andromeda.

Founding of Oblitus Oris
The nation of Merconis was founded by four players, two of which was Mortimus and Andromeda. They sought a place to call their own and eventually started out sharing a singular house on a tiny island in Onthukhan. Eventually the town, named Oblitus Oris, began to quickly grow. It was a peaceful commune that attracted travelers, merchants, and pirates, all fleeing a lifestyle of violence and war to establish a peaceful nation. With this, the nation of Merconis had been established as a microstate with the city of Oblitus Oris as its capital.
