The Era of Recovery
After leaving Impyrae Arkanaem and formally reforming Oceanum into the Grand Republic once again. He would then also open up elections for Prime Director for the first time in months, leading to the General Election and then Prime Election. In the end, Envoy had come up short in the polls and Phantom1815, also more commonly known as Wissam, was elected as Prime Director. Wissam brought to this land a great era of healing after the era of authoritarian regimes during the past months. Phants terms developed with the reinvigoration of oceanums political elite, bringing back Crusader and other notable politicians. Near the end of his term, after a huge sucess activity wise Shakumagu joined oceanum, bringing it to even greater heights.

Southern Stars
The next election was a major race, Stateshroom regulars ran against wissam and won by a slim majority, leading to a new cabinet being developed. This was followed up by the engineering of a merger between oceanum and nova azcoria, forming the southern stars. This was a massive success, bringing activity and development to the region. In Shakumagu oceanum led colonisation efforts in tokage and to the west. Along with this Batu joined the southern stars, many of these new regions such as Batu and southern stars were populated by oceanumites, leading to differing loyalties between oceanum and their former local governments. These developments eventually culminated in the southern stars decline, after a election in which con was elected, con and crusader engineered a merger between the southern stars and oceanum, this was not particularly well liked despite being initially beneficial.

AWE loyalists to rebels
The period in the AWE was a peaceful and quiet time in oceanum. Small developments occured but not much else happened, when the AWE entered into the clone wars the now renamed FSS ( serrukan from here on out ) rebelled under the leadership of Francis regulas. The clone wars ended with a coalition victory, serrukan became a vassal of vuleria and gained independence.

Internal problems and rebellion
Nova Azcoria, still held by con who was seen as responsible for Serrukans merger with the AWE was independent from Serrukan. Serrukan viewed con and nova Azcorias existence as a threat to them, and began preparations from war. This occured simultaneously to the return of crusader, who will become very relevant very soon. Following a war ticket being opened on nova Azcoria Francis is removed from office and Wissam takes his place. This leads to a peace treaty being created, this as thrown into chaos a day later. Crusader and water, leading a group of loyalists into the capital seized it and declared a new democracy, against the old Oceanum, Scottersberg and Earnside quickly joined this rebellion. Along with this prosperity was taken by paying and Michael imperium declared santonian indepenence in Tokage, mercenary groups also took the opportunity to intervene PMC Potilov seized parts of Batu. This chaos engulfed Oceanum as war and conflict seemed likely. Quickly however Oceanum got control of the situation, Michael was ousted, Earnside was taken by surprise and a treaty was created with Prosede, leaving crusader and Waterstan as one of the last remaining rebels. The first battle was slated to take place and both sides geared for the war.

First battle of waterstan, subsequent merger
The first battle of Waterstan was a unmitigated disaster for the Oceanumites. The initial issues started with the gearing, when a group of rebels disguised themselves and were given access to the gearing area, they quickly took this opportunity and used the gear they were given to fight Oceanum. Following this when the battle officially began Oceanum struggled to gain capture points, and lost 50 men in the battle. The battle particularly was fierce within the ganks which Oceanumite soldiers often fell into the bloody melee inside them, and led to high casultys. The battle was a draw in name, as neither side gained any advantage in the siege. The battle ended in a draw, while both sides retreated to lick their wounds. This, arguably defeat led to Oceanum to merge with Razuni and join Orithia, now the second battle of Waterstan seems likely.
