Redoriv

Founded on July 21st 2021, in the prior territory of Florandia, Western fringe of the world of Eldham. The people of Redoriv originally serving under a Feudal society was reformed into a more structured modern republic with heavy leanings to a centralized federal presence. Extremely new to the local area, yet has close ties with previous Florandian allies and enemies, liked by all who witness the silent Revolution.

"For a city is the people and the people are the city. No wealth is worth the tax of labor, no Treasury is equal to the efforts of our work. For we are our own manifest of industry, our dreams are our future. We are of one people, made of many cultures, and individuals. For I am no native, yet to be embraced as such it is my duty to serve for the future past my life. It is my duty to make a nation that lives on past my order. That is what I will make. That is what we will make."

~First Grand Marshal of Redoriv, Gorzealion.

The Silent Revolution:
Upon the arrival of Gorzealion and his followers there was already a great deal of unrest in the land. With short manners of diplomacy, introductions, and vision to rally the unrest together the so called Revolution or Rebellion was underway. Often addressed as the Silent Revolution for the war was won before it even began. With only the loose threat of mercenaries to be hired to put down the same people the prior High King were to rule.

Azkracken and Virfortis were to be the leading supporters to allow this Revolution to occur with the great task of one Diplomat known commonly as Cdrpossum reaching out to foreign nations and internal states alike to give time to meet with the new growing leader Gorzealion. Without his actions the Revolution wouldn't have been able to start so suddenly and so successfully.

Although the once High King, now that of a Mad King demand hostility to the people there was a series of diplomatic meetings with outer nations to make understanding to the nation's new identity. A true struggle grew out of these events that of which not of swords and war, yet one of negotiations and diplomatic connections. An arms race of foreign affairs was played out to encourage the support for Redoriv, and to denounce the claim of the mad king so desperate to exterminate his own people. For it was his own Regent chosen by the counts left to manage prior to the mad kings absence who did not covet the thrown, yet had the ability to stand in it who gave this leadership to another. Proving how truly supportive all people were to the making of Redoriv. Through the coming days civilians and leaders alike expressed their support for Redoriv with a practice of placing red banners on such homes with the lines; "I am for the people, I am for Redoriv." This trend provided a great deal of notice among the world community with constant interests in the name of Redoriv. On 25th July the Mad King gave up his efforts and as it seems surrendered to the people of Redoriv prior to any war time meetings. The future seemed bright for the people of Redoriv and plans to modernize and industrialize was well under way. The plans to establish a proper senate and other institutions of administration to the nation.

The Short War:
on July 28th only days after the revolution and prior to the independence festival the Empire of Aristios opened war with Redoriv. This act was one that was fueled by an interest prior in the Kingdom of Florandia, yet due to the revolution was delayed and pushed by different parts of the Aristios Empire. It was apparent to both sides that any nation of their stature tension would occur in time. War breaking out over holy relics found the night prior were the need for belli to do so. However after seeing the active support and hostility Redoriv would express to this war claim. No interest in surrender was apparent. Peace was wanted and the original intention of aligning together in future peace and military defensive pacts were spoken of. Either being enemies or friends the more peaceful was chosen. A photo to show good faith as the Emperor of Aristios takes walking into Redoriv land was to cease the acts of war and be a beacon to the future. A future of progress, industry, and culture for the people.

Treaties and deals broke down the next day as foreign nations such as Barbossa denounce the actions of Aristios the prior day. This gave Redoriv the opportunity to remain a free people without the needs to forced ties with a nation that openly declared war on them. Not all members of state were in support of the shift in prior statements, yet the sentiment to be a free people not forced into choices was the present Grand Marshal's and majority interests of Redoriv. Some members of state stepped down, though the confusion of the state of Aristios persisted past this scenario encouraging more foreign nations to continue their pursuit claiming Aristios imperials. The settling of the war and leaving either side apart further actions were not pushed even with the falling support and hostility Aristios was gaining. The war was over, the conflict avoided, the people then focused on prior goals being their first holiday and festival, their independence day. This and the growing immigration to the nation from recent events.

Government/Culture
People of Redoriv are a mix of cultures that are expressed openly and embraced equally, however the government is design in the intention of forming a centralized culture and identity among all the cities of Redoriv. Intending for the forming of holidays, true infrastructures such as Railroads, Federal Forts, Events, Monuments to each culture, and rapid industrialization. Culture and Security was the primary focus of the former Regime. To ensure there remains checks and balances to the rather militant newly formed Regime a Senate made up of the prior lords of the old feudal structure was formed to give veto power to the local states if need be against that of the Marshals and Grand Marshal. Even with this in place there has been no opposition to the regimes cause direction with nearly complete support for all choices made by the current Revolutionary leader and first Grand Marshal. A constitution was passed with 10 in favour, 0 opposed and 2 absentees. The Kingfish (President) CdrPossum now leads the country with a proper constitution as the Grand Marshal resigned due to people pressuring him to while also pressuring him not to.
