History of Vlast

August 9th, 1760
The Czecslaw Wars end, a conglomerate of northern's villages, city-states, and sovereignties create an alliance and decend upon the weakened belligerents. A week later, the to-be nations that comprise Vlast sign the Treaty of Norvaknaya, a defense pact.

April, 21st 1777
The Seventeen Years War ends, leaving all parties decimated.

June, 1st, 1777
Dima Kos publishes United, a pamphlet that calls for the unification of the Nordic state, the idea gains momentum as the member-states of the Treaty of Norvaknaya rebuild after the Seventeen Years War.

1780
The Warszakii Unification Pact is drafted by the member states of the Treaty of Norvaknaya. The First Duma is called and ToN member-states send representatives.

1785
The Warszakii Unification Pact is signed and ratified by 19 of the 21 Member-states. One of the member states signs and would one year later ratify. The second abstains and remains independent. Ilya Popa is elected Minister the same year. The Duma becomes the Upper Duma, comprised of two representitives of each federal district. A Lower Duma is created which elects representatives base on population of each federal district. Upper and Lower Dumas both run on five-year cycles, there is an election for each every 5 years, and they are timed so that there is an election every two and a half years. A Prime Minister is elected every five years. The Prime Minister and Upper Duma members are elected on the same year.

1787
 The first Lower Duma is elected. Dima Kos is among them as the speaker of the Duma. They begin constructing the Vlastic Articles of Confederation. The current constitution is the Treaty of Norvaknaya's Provisional Powers clause.

1790
The Articles of Confederation are finalized. The articles do not offer good protection of personal freedoms. Dima Kos resigns in protest. Ruslan Stoika begins his work on studying domestic an foreign economies. Dima Kos goes abroad to study foreign powers. Ilya Popa is reelected. A planned city, Soyuzagorsk, is designed to be the seat of power.

1795
Wealthy men advocate the construction of factories. The first water-powered factories emerge, mostly grinding grain and textiles. The Duma loosens economic regulations. Dima Kos advocates amendments to the Articles of Confederation. His ideals lead to the rise of the Revisionist Party, a party that advocates stronger personal freedoms, and anti-federalism. An opposition party rises a couple months after, called the Federalist Party, which mainly focuses on federalism.

1800
Ilya Popa leaves office, Novi Kiska takes his place. Soyuzagorsk's Duma building is complete, along with the Prime Minister's estate. Dima Kos assists the parties in reachin an agreement. The AoC is amended to create and strong federal government, and to create a Preamble of sorts that guarantees personal freedoms. The Revisionist and Federalist parties both loose activity, as their political objectives are more or less complete.

[Juncoph]

As per the fruits of propaganda, training, time and valor in the field:

The number of Counts increases by 50.
The number of Topsmen increase by 5,450.
The number of Soldats increase by 7,800.
 The number of light infantry increases by 10,000.

A full military alliance is offered to Kyrev.

With digging nearing completion, masons begin constructing the new capital of the UEK within the excavated mountain.

[CypherX]

A full military alliance is offered to Kyrev.

Accepted.

[Swat 3]

Swat lemme know where you wanna be on the map, brudah.

Be sure to make a minor outline the Kingdoms of the UK.

[SWAT One]

That's a bit large to start.  Btw, for scale, The UEK is about the size of the 48 states America, so please be sensitive to population density, as these empires are getting a bit large.

[Swat 3]

That's a bit large to start.  Btw, for scale, The UEK is about the size of the 48 states America, so please be sensitive to population density, as these empires are getting a bit large.

That's a bit smaller per land mass than the others, but I am going to worry about land density.


If you want you can shave a bit off to make it a comfortable land density.
pls

[Juncoph]

UEK's military aggressively pushes west, acquiring new territory for future plans.

[Mr. Hurricane]

The Vlastic Military partially mobilizes and begins annexing areas to the northwest and northeast. A third front pushes west along the coast. Surveyors have caught glimpse of the rich, and nearly impenetrable mountains that lie between Vlast and the UEK. Many venture capitalists plan to develop the area. The personnel sent to the mountains are civilian. Vlast does not wish to antagonize the UEK. Surveyors believe the mountains will act as a natural border.

In a few nations actions of expansion and exploration, they have discovered that reasonably sized nations have developed when noble land owners have decided to band together against oncoming threats.  All states created or pre-existent have now, in their words, "declared war without retribution against a foreign imperialist threat unless the land that was taken is returned."

Burellis hears of wars in the North and begins to run its soldiers through additional training exercises.  Pro-military posters are hung in every town to promote a career in the military; this scores around 4,500 or so within the first few months.

The region that had once been hostile and is now submissive in the southwest is officially claimed.  Burellis states its intention to claim the rest of the island on which its colony is located.  Some exploratory ships return to bring good news.
