Medena

Medena is located in the southern regions of Eldham on the continent of Onthukhan. It has a varied history. It went from a democratic republic to a monarchist province of the Razuni Sultanate to become the Irisnian Kingdom after declaring indipandence from the sultanate and later to become a hold of the Pale after the Irisnian Kingdom. Becomeing an own indipendent state, as the Second Republic of Medena after the Pale dissolved. And as the most current, returned to the Medenian brothernation, Razuni.

The Founding
Medena was first mentioned in the Treaty of Kingsburg of the Luwen-Alexandria War. The Prime-Minister of Bjancia Luis Von de Hotin signed papers which recognized the Republic of Medena. John Ian, the first Consul of Medena, start recruiting, so MemeRuler and Nezure joined as the Second Consul and Third Consul. Omega Wolf and White Sheep also joined the Republic as the last founding fathers.

After Ian announced that he was going to be inactive, Meme, Wolf and Sheep Van Bee started construction in the inactive Bell Nation. The construction of Maldequem started.

Myckul
When Sheep was observing the inactive city of Authem Bell, which was in the center of their claimed land, Sheep met a wanderer called Myckul, he joined the nation on the same day and would become known as the Road Builder of Medena. There was also a statue of him built in Maldeqem.

The First Election
During the first elections, the DRP, MLP, LIP, and the Monarchist Party of Medena were running against each other. After Silver retreated from the elections, the MSDP, a coalition of the three other Parties won the elections and IcyGamer become the first President of Medena. The Election was later considers as unapproved, after the MSDP only won after they had no competition.

The MSDP Government
As it was the first government in Medena, it got criticized by many of its citizens, and after just 50 hours, it was dissolved and the council of government organized new elections. It announced them for the Winter of 75 / 22nd of July, but it would never happen.

The Medena Emergency
Under the pretense of organizing a festival to improve the mood of the citizens of Medena, the monarchists planned a coup together with Luis Von de Hotin and support from the Razuni Sultanate. After Suprafluid, one of the members of the MSDP showed up, Luis started the coup with the well-known quote:

"Ok so, it's fucking strarting Baby, I'm couping the government and everybody just going to love it!".

Changes after the Revolution
Medena was now under monarchist leadership, but they kept the democratic voting system for elections of their government and their Duke/Duchess. It became a province of the Razuni Sultanate and Medenians got the same rights as Razunis. Suprafluid and his supporters were exiled from the Razuni Sultanate. Maldequem became the new capital of Medena, and Luis Von de Hotin became the first Duke of Medena.

The Threat Of Another Revolution
After the revolution of the Medenian Emergency, some people didn't accept the change, and some believed that another revolution was on its way.

The Revolution Of Johnny

John Ian, the founder of Medena and Memeruler and who was also a founding father, were threatening the peace in the area of Medena. After Luis was exiled from the Razuni Sultanate for abuse of power, John Ian declared himself the King of Medena, and started the Kingdom of Medena. On the 27th of July, he decided to leave Medena peacefully, and many citizens hoped he would never return to Medenian lands and was banned from them. But he came back for four more times, to try to recalim power in Medena.

Revolutionary Plans from Harry Knight and Gas Commando

Harry knight and Gas Commando, were having a conversation about the recent changes and about how Medena would be better off without the influence of the Sultanate. They were planning to start a revolution against the Razuni Sultanate. They wanted to do this without dealing a lot amount of damage to the nation and their people. However, their plans were discovered, and they were sent to be executed. But their charges where dropped and both left on the 25th of July. About one month later on the 26th of August, Harry came back to Medena and apologized for his actions.

After Wolf said this about Harry: "He had a heart out of gold, but it was used for the wrong things."

A Peaceful Future
After the issue with Ian, Wolf, one of the founding fathers and mayor of Maldeqem, and Silver, a citizen of very early days and bartender, went on a journey, with both leaving a letter behind. Only Silver had returned from that journey.

The Letter Of Wolf

"Alright people of Medena, I've decided to step down as mayor of Maldeqem. I'm giving ownership to Alaina as we have been speaking a lot and she said she would do what's best for the city. Since this political mess happened many people left, many friends i had wanted relief from these Politics. Now personally i've had it aswell with this political drama everyday, I've decided to step down as mayor and not take any part in elections, votings, diplomats, anything political related. This doesn't mean that i'm leaving, but rather taking a break for a while. One of the reasons i joined Medena was so i could build and i'm going to keep my word on that, I'm going to still build in Medena and help clean this mess up. But i'm also going to start building in other city's as i want to see the world around me, taking part in new and older city's to help develop them. I hope you all understand and that i'll see you soon again."

The Letter Of Silver

"Dear Fellow citizens of Medena, I have made the decision to leave Medena. The past few days have been a wild ride and i need a break from politics. Don´t worry i won´t leave forever. One day i might return. But i want to explore the world, learn new recipes and meet new people and explore new Lands. I will leave the Tavern under the good care of Isackary. I wish u all the best, and hope that from now on life will be fun for u all again. See u again one day, Silver"

After this, Sheep, also one of the founding fathers, also wrote a short letter.

"So after that one founding Father step down as mayor and one Citizen of the first Generation went inactive for unknown time, I also will announce something. I will stay as right now and continue the writing of the history and organising the votes and things like that for all those who will left or just go inactive for a while, it was an honour for me May the holy Sheep be with us and may Medena live long!"

The Return of Harry
After some of the oldest citizens went on journies and went away from Medena, the province became a bit dead, but than after some weeks, a familiar face showed up in the Lands of Medena, Harry knight. First the old citizens were skeptical about the revolutionary of past times, but he apologized about his former actions and the citizens welcomed him back to his former home.

The Fourth Election
The Fourth Election was held on the Fall of 92 / 1st of October. In this election there where the MRP and the EMP. The MRP won with 7 out of 9 votes. The Leader of the Medenian Reconstruction Party, Harry, became the third Duke of Medena. As he promised he started a reconstruction project, which brought life back to Medena. This also incudes the founding of New Kingsburg, on the ruins of the old Republican City.

Modern Medenian Culture
On the Spring of 97 / 7th of October Gum Gum and Vandaris started the new age of Medenian culture. It started with the great Medenian Wolf, being added as an emblem of Medena.

Gaining Autonomy
Between the Summer and Winter of 109 / 7th and 8th of December a treaty was signed between the Sultan of Razuni, Indo Ibn Almalik Zakar and the Emir Vanderis Arianrhod. Medena was now an autonomous province, as promised in the final briefing of the Medenian coup.

The great Reformation
On the in the following days Medena set up votes for a new constitution and on the Spring of 111 / 14th the government was reformed. Medena was now a constitunal monarchy, ruled by the Pharaohs, Vanderis Arianrhod and Alaina Arianrhod. From now on there would be also an election every 7 years (after lore kinda not fits) / every month on the 27th for the Grand Vizier.

The Second Medenian Festival
In late Witner of the year 119 / night of the 14th of January 2022 the governmnet of Medena organized a festival. After the Medenian Festival Curse, it was just a fascade to hide a political reason, this reason was to declare indipandece from the Razuni Sultanate and form the Kingdom of Irisnia together with the Nagosi of Agon-Shar.

Era of the Pale
After 17 years of existance, the Kingdom of Irisnia decided to intigrate into the Pale, this was caused by threat of an annaxation by the Imperium. Medena was made the Hold of Medena with Alaina in the role of the Jar,l simply not much in the position of Medena has changed.

The Death of Alaina Arianrhod
In Spring of 155 Alaina Arianrhod had passed away. She came to Medena first when it intigrated with the first festival and since that had been an important political figure in Medenian politics. After her death, Z'swaku Sheep Van Bee, the old Medenian took her place as Jarl. He himself had always had a good picture about Alaina, even tho there were some times, where they did not agreed. Still he appreciate what Alaina had done for Medena.

A new Era?
After the Pale got dissovled in Winter of 171 (10th of August, 2022) Medena is together with the former hold of Nagos, which is now known under the name of Brenra, again the Irisnian Kingdom, which got granted full autonomy.

The Second Republic
Not log after the Irisnian Kingdom got dissovled with the third treaty of Irisnia. Medena was finally free from any overlord as the Second republic of Medena. The newly-born republic, however, did not have the privilege of securing a place on the map for long, because after Archduke Z'swaku saw that the underpopulated lands could not remain in the world of Eldham for long, he decided that Medena should be reintegrated back into the long-term ally and brother state, the Razuni Sultanate, in order to change medena's situation back to a better one.

Medena and Razuni
Under the second time, Medena had been a part of Razuni, it was again living through another golden age. The capital Maldeqem finally got the deserved attention and the XP Company Simurgh Experiance formed, finally using the great potential of Maldeqem. During this time Medena had an influence on Razuni internal politics, as the local democratic spirit reached the rest of the Sultanate and a Senate was established, which was long lived after the fact that Medenian Democracy may only work within a Medenian state. Cooperation between the two states increased and Medenian nationalism was greatly accepted under the Razuni flag and so it was in return, that Medena was a loyal region within Razuni.

The "Privilegium Markrepublika Medena"
To prevent another Medenian-Razuni split the Medenian region was granted a priviledge which would allow a future local democracy, under regulations to ensure loyalty and the Medenian-Razuni friendship would not be damaged. To prevent any future Irisnia 2.0

Times of Trouble
After tensions with a former ally of Razuni, the AWE. The noble rebellion sparked in the southern regions of Razuni, causing a major loss in territory and stability. Even though tries to influence Medenian noblitiy, the region stood loyal with Razuni against the noble rebellion and the AWE as their supporter. After an aggreement with the AWE, the noble rebellion came to an end, leaving Razuni left with the Razuni crownlands and the region of Medena.

Local Geography
The Crownlands

In the western part there is a spruce forest, with a small patch of snow. In the middle part ,there is a Oak Forest. In the south there is a small acacia forest and in the north and southeast are plains.

Wivamovian*

The region of Wivamovian, is a spruce forest, which is split by a snow forest. In the south, there is a small connection to Sondor. Two rivers borders to Medena in the east and Naubaykonia in the west. In the north it has a small access to the open seas. After the city of Vladigrad was granted indipendence by the Sultanate, it suceeded with most of the Wivamovian land and a bit of Medena's crownlands.

Medenian White Badlands

After the city of Eldia was located on both sides of the Provinces of Medena and the White Badlands, some lands of the White Badlands were handed over to Medena, after the Eldia decided to be part of Medena. After the creation of Irisnia, Eldia became it's own province, taking some of the anciant Medenian coreland. Medena did not continued the claim on the lands after the fall of Irisnia, as those are rightful crownlands of the Razuni Sultanate, Medena's longest and closet ally.

Medenian Higlands

North of Medenian core land there is a Savanna which was purchased by Medena under Duke Vanderis Arianrhod. After a long tome of control, it got renamed to the Medenian Highlands.

Isle of Sheep*

The Isle of Sheep is a joungle area over the sea, it was given to Medena after Agon-Shar decline the offer of getting it. Later it was taken by the Pale (to mention without a form of payment) after Irisnia intigrated into the Pale.

Cities
Maldeqem is located in the northeast' it is the first settlement of the Medenians. Ever since it has expanded in different directions, first it was planned to be in the east of Medena, after Eldia was founded, it was set that Maldeqem should expand to the west. Today Maldeqem is the only aktive and still remaining city of Medena. Maldeqem contains a lot of giant fields, making them probably the biggest food producer in the entire Sultanate, but the city also has to show many historicle memorials of the different parts of Medena's history.

Eldia* was owned by Vanderis Arianrhod and is located in the south-eastern part of Medena. During Irisnia, Eldia has become an own province and the Irisnian capital. Eldia was a giant metroplis rising from the dunes of sand, but the city slowly was leaking more and more citizens, at the end of Irisnia, not long time before the Pale was dissovled, Eldia was an empty mega city. After Irisnia was dissovled as well, it stayed as an protected area under the Medenian rule and later was handed over to Razuni as Medena rejoined the Razuni Sultanate. Today Eldia is nothing but a gian ruin, an attack by Segrists destroyed the city, which once was the great capital of Irisnia and the last remaining of the Razuni great rival.

Kingsburg* was the first planned capital but that got changed after Maldeqem became more developed, since ever Kingsburg was abandond after the leak of citizens was already bad for the aktivity of Maldeqem. During the 4th election, it was mentioned again and plans for rebuilding where set. On the 12th of October Silver created New Kingsburg and the construction officially started, but those plannes where never comleted and to this day the planned port capital of Medena, Kingsburg lays there abandond, next to Maldeqem, maybe to be consumed in the futre and to be tunred into a giant port.

In the middle of Medena, there is a city. It is called Authem Bell and is the capital of the Bell Nation. Medena claimed it as theirs because the People of the Bell Nations were gone for long. After, the founding father Sheep got in contact with the co-owner of Authem Bell. First, she agreed on handing over the city claims to Medena, but then she did not accept the claims of Medena on the lands. On the 29th of November Duke Vanderis Arianrhod, gave the order to demolish the abandon town Autumnbell and build a village, which never had been build.

Vladigrad* was founded on 9th of October by KingTheodin on the land, long ago named Wivamovia. It was a city of Medena until the 28th of Novmeber when it become the citistate of the Principality of Vladigrad.

Flag History
The First Flag of Medena The First Flag of Medena was made by John Ian, during the time Medena was growing, the idea came up to add more details to the flag to make it more characatistic.

The Flag of the Republic of Medena The second flag was the longest in use during the era of the Republic. The colours where bleached to make a nice look, the eagle represented the freedom of the Medenian people, and the laurel wreath symbolised the democracy. It was made by Silver.

The Flag of the Medenian Emergency The third flag was introduced during the coup of Luis Von de Hotin, and stayed until Medena become a province of the Razuni Sultanate. The eagel on this flag symbolises the will of a revolution and the change to monarchy. Silver made this flag after the request of Luis Von de Hottin.

The Flag of the Province of Medena After Medena had become a province of the Razuni Sultanate, the flag was changed to the fourth Medena had seen. The Medenian Eagel, symboliseing the freedom of the Medenians. The two stars in the back symboliseing the Razuni Sultanate. This Flag was made by Silver, with help of Sheep.

The Fifth Medenian Flag After the era of the Modern Mednian Culture had begun, the Medenian government held a vote for a Flag change, and a design made by Silver was choosen. The falcon represents the freedom of Medena. The star the future of Medena how it shines as bright as the starts. As for the colours the green and white obviously are to fit the flag and the blue tail feathers shall represent eldia.

Flag of the Second Republic and new flag of the Medenian Province of Razuni The coat of arms on the flag was changed to the medenian eagle, on it's chest a Medenian Flag. The eagle wears a crown on it's head, symbolising the close ties to monarchy in it's history and it's now future with an Archduke of the House Van Bee, guarding the Medenian lands. The hammer and sickle represent the hard working builders of Medena and the farmers who take care of the big fields of Maldeqem. The broken chains symbolise the indipendence and freedom of the Medenian people. And even tho this flag is used while the medenian lands are under Razuni rule, those chains are still valid, Medena does not see Razuni as an overlord, but more like a fraternal state.
