History
A long time ago there were two people Astronomus and Mrdevus who founded Rose and the Astronian Union. They built Rose out of loyalty, honor and respect for one another and they became a province of the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa, thanks to their leadership and the citizens which include, warwick and napoleon, they built a prosperous province in the western regions of Viodoxa. Astronomus after a while and MrDevus slowly not focusing on his job but on his townhall, declared himself Emperor of the Astronian union and made The Astronian Constitution for the Union which created an actual functional government of the Astronian Union.

Years went by and as people came ago some stayed, Astronomus gotten more refugees from nations that were in perpetual state of conflict and tried his best to help people from other nations. that wasn't all Astronomus tried to help in Viodoxa as well by giving supplies becomming the defacto head judge of the Archonate and more. However his efforts wouldn't stop the inevitable break away of Viodoxa, and once this has happened Heinrich Val Obserstein, the man whom architected alot of Rose's projects a great advisor of Astronomus and the warchief, couped Astronomus and Astronomus had to go into hiding. However a few months later Heinrich died from old age. With the Help of Napoleon Chaiping and Warwick Walterson they took power in Rose and helped Astronomus regain the position of Emperor and Help Mrdevus from Exile. They then declared that the Kingdom of Floria shall be born and not the Astronian Union.

With heinrich gone, The city of Rose and the kingdom as a whole is going through another golden age as the citizens of rose is starting to destroy the huge stone walls that was "choking" the development and beauty of Rose as well as another population spike.

De-heinrichifiication
Ever since Heinrich's government has been toppled from it's regime and now Astronomus was back on the throne, one of the first of many things Astronomus has done with his power was to change the power of the Emperor of his constitution significantly. Making sure that democracy at merit is enforced.

Another change is that he authorized the de-construction of the tower walls that was ruining the looks of Rose, as well as changes to the walls to make it more closer to it's culture.

Diplomatic moves
Astronomus was quick in diplomacy establishing non-aggression pacts with several nations such as Libertalia and Valdreach within his first week back in power.

However though his most biggest acheivement diplomatic wise is the annexation of Libertalia. Libertalia is known to be very isolationist so Astronomus convincing the Libertalian people, bean the leader of Libertalia and the cities of Libertalia to join his nation. This move was monumentous for the kingdom of floria as new resources and new oppourtunities risen up. However this sparked a new enemy for the Flowerbed kingdom. Greater Karolium a nation whomst is known for it's racism and slavery upon everyone but humans. Karolium wanted to invade libertalia and now they wanted to invade floria as well.
