Kingdom of Hussaria





Overview
The Kingdom of Hussaria (pronounced Hoo-sar-ee-uh) is a secluded nation in the Katsura region of Eldham. Her entire border to the north and east is shared with Ashai; To the south, the nations of Redoriv, Sylvania, and Forva are nearby. It is governed by Konstanty Korol.

The culture of Hussaria is centered around horses. They are a vital lifeline of trade and travel to and from the different places in Hussaria, due to it's seclusive nature. Boating and fishing have taken prominent roles due to a lack of traditional hunting game on land, and the growth of the Anglist belief in the land.

Early History
The entirety of the Hussarian population united for the first time under Nova Regna in late June of 2021. Before this, the Hussarian people were a collection of different tribes from around the region. They frequently fought against each other in continuous attempts to take full control of the region. Meanwhile, the Poth migration to the west began from Rathnir. They sailed and navigated all through Eldham's rivers. A ship known as the "Aŋlɛtɛpi" hit an iceberg and ran aground along one of Hussaria's eastern rivers, the survivors quickly set up camp; But it wasn't long until members of the Y'hesias tribe noticed the smokestack coming from a fire. Some scouts of the tribe went to investigate and met with the Poths. Some Poths were killed, and the rest were kidnapped and brought to the Chief. The Chief houses and fed the travelers, until a translator could learn how to speak their language. The Poths ended up joining the clan, and tought them Pothic technological advances in Fishing, Hunting, and Combat. The Poths were well orated and were able to get the Y'hesia tribe and the Yerem tribe to unite all of the South. The two tribes began construction of the city of Hussarias, which would become the capitol of the Kingdom of Hussaria later on. The Hussarians would continue to expand northward, getting rid of villages and small tribes.

Donfuer & The Battle of Green Tower
In early September, the city of Carthroe was founded by a Hussarian by the name of Atrovah. This city flourished alongside Hussarias. Around this time a new king was given the crown of Nova Regna: A man named D_loaded. He renamed Nova Regna to Donfuer and named Carthroe the capitol city while Hussarias was seen as a small town with little importance. It was decided the city wouldn't be represented in the government of Donfuer too. This angered the citizens of Hussarias and Carthroe. In addition to this, Hussarias became the target of anti-rattist raiders during the Crusades against Ratism. A sizable force of these raiders attacked Hussarias in September in what became known as The Battle of Green Tower, due to the green siege tower that was used by the raiders. Despite many casualties, the outnumbered defenders held the wall. A memorial was built to honor their sacrifice. Donfuer sent no aide passed the attack off as nothing, which further led to anti-Donfuerian sentiment in both Hussarias and Carthroe. It contributed to the already brewing idea of Hussarian civil liberty and freedom.

The First Hussarian Revolution
On October 7th, 2021 Hussarias and Carthroe declared their independence as the Kingdom of Hussaria, with Arnelious as their Huzar (king) and Roaster as their Viceroy. Donfuer refused to let Hussaria become independent, and began preparation for war, calling on many allies to help quell the revolt.

The newly formed kingdom was supported by As'ria, whom Hussaria called upon due to helping them with a coup d'etat against a tyrant that happened a few years earlier. Donfuer was supported by the Northern Lights alliance. The war only consisted of a few light skirmishes including the battles of Nova valley. The ratio of battles won to lost was near even and each battle proved to be costly and indecisive. Facing enormous pressure from their allies and the threat of Aristios joining the side of the Hussarian allies, Donfuer soon agreed to allow Hussaria to pay 50,000 coins for their freedom. Not wanting further bloodshed, Arnelious agreed to this, however, Hussaria was unable to negotiate for Carthroe, which would remain in Donfuer with Hussarians still living in it. This would serve as a point of contention for years to come.

Arnelious Flegenhorn was crowned as the first king of the Kingdom of Hussaria, starting the Flegenhorn dynasty.

Continued Tensions & The Carthroe Uprising
In November, the capitol city of Hussarias was sacked by a horde of barbarians from the north. The city, lost nearly all of their resources. Despite this, in December, the Hussarians were able to fully recover. The village of Thorpecove was founded by Pothic immigrants. Because of an immigration boom to capture the new market, December was a period of growth for Hussaria. Along with Thorpecove, Reothadh began construction as well under a Hussarian named 9Unlimited. Hussaria would soon join the League of the Setting Sun (LSS), an alliance consisting of nearby nations to attempt to scare empires away from invading their lands.

During this time, Allucard Tepes, the mayor of Carthroe, began an operation to declare independence from Donfuer. In one month, it was decided that preparations were finished, and a Donfuer recieved a Communique that Carthroe was leaving. Hussaria and the LSS declared their support for Carthroe immediately after. Over the next two weeks there were many attempts for diplomacy between Carthroe and Donfuer; In these meetings, Allucard Tepes was offered several agreements which publicly, were thought to be favorable and desirable. Allucard, however; Refused these offers. Allucard quickly lost support from his allies and citizens due to him now being perceived as a mad man. The LSS rescinded support for the uprising and here was a mass exodus of citizens that fled north, To Asria, and south, to Hussaria. The conflict was over. Donfuer quickly sent garrisons of soldiers into the city to reaffirm their control. Mystxc was made the new mayor and it was renamed to Inostadt.

After Donfuer had secured Carthroe and expanded the fortified city of Stolas, Hussaria began construction of Fort Oberstyre; Which Donfuer demanded be torn down, but the Hussarian government refused. Donfuer took these actions seriously, and both sides began preparing for war. Spies from Stolas were spotted in Thorpecove, and quickly executed. A few weeks later Arnelious gathered the Hussarian army and marched to the walls of Stolas. The Donfuerian army that defended the walls and the Hussarian force exchanged insults for hours before the Hussarians moved north and assaulted the wall at a bridge. The Hussarians were able to scale the wall with a couple elite soldiers including the king himself and kill a few Donfuerians in a small skirmish. Arnelious then ordered his army to return to Hussarias, seeing no point in continuing the fight. The war ended peacefully a few days later but a few Hussarian raiders were able to breach the wall and slaughter all the livestock of Stolas.

On January 7th 2022, the village of Thorpecove would attempt to rebel from Hussaria and form the Republic of Astrokovo; The rebels surrendered only a few days later. The rebel leader, Sasha Korol, was granted amnesty for surrendering. She revealed that Donfuer had secretly supported the rebels. Arnelious was furious and demanded that Donfuer pay 50,000$ as repirations, which was paid without much resistance. The Hussarian government saw this as symbolic as that is the exact amount that they had been forced to pay to gain their freedom years ago. After this, Thorpecove would gradually morph into a town known as Adrea, which is the current capitol city of Hussaria and the economic center of the country.

The Segra Age
Over time, tensions with Donfuer eased and Hussaria continued to flourish. New immigrants from Paloro turned Adrea into a farming metropolis. New revolutionary farming and breeding techniques, developed in Adrea, allowed Hussaria to dominate in the spice trade. Hussaria became known for its alcohol and food, which attracted weary travelers and tourists from all over Katsura.

On April 22nd, 2022, Hussaria left the LSS due to its withering strength and instead joined the Constellation of the North alliance. Their rivalry with Donfuer became nothing more than one of culture and jokes. Stolas was demilitarized and Fort Oberstyre was torn down.

With a growing spice industry, King Arnelious successfully purchased a large amount of land to the north known as Gurdamoore, where farmers began tilling fields and growing foods to be exported for money. Hussaria effectively encircled Inostadt but was unable to purchase it.

Sasha Korol, one of the Royal Councillors, was royalty from the country of Paloro; And a Poth Anglist. She helped broker trade and friendship between the two countries. Paloro would continuously an important part of modern Hussaria, and brought up in many discussions.

Crowning the New King
As he sat on his throne one day, Arnelious was killed by a mysterious assassin. Bjorn Flegenhorn, his son, was crowned the next day as the king of Hussaria. Bjorn would first announce that the capitol would be moved to Adrea and that he had a plan to improve the nation. as time went on, however, it became clear that his plan wasn't actually going to help anything. The only improvements he made were in foreign policy. Under Bjorn Hussaria left the crumbling Constellation of the north alliance and became a founding member state of a new alliance with southern nations including Atlechia, Einberg, and Montrium. This alliance quickly drew Hussaria into a war in Montrium where Bjorn led Hussarian forces alongside their allies to victory. He was praised for this by some but many Hussarians thought they had no business in the war. Adding to the problem, Bjorn completely neglected domestic problems in the nation in favor of closer ties with allies. Due to this and being ignored the Royal Council planned a coup d'état against Bjorn with the main leaders being Sasha Korol, Amleth, and Ramdam. Royal Knights and Soldiers marched to the Government building in Hussarias, and demanded Bjorn abdicate. He did not try to fight the Royal Council, and gave the crown and left to Atlechia along with many of his supporters.

Republic of Hussaria
The Royal Government formed a democratic republic, with elections and presidents. This was very popular among the citizens, having over a 85% approval rating among the people. Sasha Korol was the provisional leader and was tasked with writing the constitution and beginning the first elections, which was won by Ramdam.

Ramdam was seen as an objectively bad leader, inexperienced with diplomacy and the knowledge of building a country and rallying true support. Progress in the nation was slow, or didn't happen. Ramdam refused to write or pass any government documents the proper way. Sasha Korol offered to have Hussaria join the Hearthstone Yuldai, a nation in the Haven continent of Rathnir, stating it would take heaps of stress of the presidential seat. Ramdam took some weeks to decide and inquire about the proposition, and eventually said no to the offer. When it was time for the second presidential election, Ramdam didn't begin them. Sasha Korol attempted to begin elections with what power she had, but lost legitimacy after banning new citizens from voting in an attempt to halt foreign agents and those attempting to sway the elections unfairly. Ramdam ended Sasha's attempt and illegally gave Presidency to Soulla, a random nobleman from Velerin. It was believed that Soulla hadn't even visited the country, and a month later, sold the entire country to Varn Torum, for 1,300,000 coins. Sasha Korol attempted to explain the situation to Varn Torum, but because of the large investment into the land, denied to let Hussaria be free. Varn Torum joined the empire of Ashai a few weeks later. Sasha Korol was appointed Governor of Hussaria.

Reformation & The Second Kingdom of Hussaria
Long after the annexation, the city of Adrea began to see economic revitalization, with many new migrants coming to the city from Paloro and elsewhere. The town is being revamped and reconstructed.

Citizens of the fallen country of Asria and Hussaria began plotting to overthrow Ashai, becoming independent once more, the plan was leaked by Walker Reddington on what is believed to be an accident, but nobody has figured out what his true intentions were. Despite this the Ashai government allowed Hussaria to become independent after paying a sum of 3,000,000 coins.

The migration to Drak Yamar
After a certain time inside the country of Varn Torum, the hussarians leaders had a conversation with the king of Varn,Garrigole, about they get more represetation in the governament, however, that act was seen as a threat of revolution. So, in day of, most of Hussarians leaves their homes to found a new city called Carthium in the far lands of the kingdom of Drak Yamar.

Due to that intensive migration the cities of the province became pratically ghost towns, becoming a target for destruction and looting, especially the capital city of Adrea.

Pre-Hussaria
The grenians are a human ethnic group from the north of a land called Rathnir that were expelled from their original land,Gradia, by the Askonia globins and migrated to the new world with the aim of building a new place to call home. Arriving in Eldham, they went to Soliana,Anglunia, to figth in the Battle of Zanathia as a foregin legion. After that they moved to a tiny island in the ocean called Hesia, however the stay didn't last long thanks to a invasion organized by Simulani and the Blitzian Mafia, forcing them to go to Sylvania, where it was created the KSKD, and, after the death of Ermias and a Ciuszewski apology to people of Asoland, lands in Varn Torum become available to settle, leading to the final migration of the grenian people at the moment

Religion
Ever since the Poth landing on Hussaria, Anglism has had a long lasting influence on art, society, and politics in Hussaria. Anglism is the leading religion of the nation and Otsirs (anglist churches) are constantly erected in the countryside and centers of cities. Despite Anglism being the official state religion, it is not mandated and Hussaria has freedom of religion, which allows for some smaller religions such as grugism to have a presence in the nation.
