  1. The Royal Affair

    By: Maxwell Walker

    New Larxia- It is speculated that King Maddy IV has been courting actress and activist, Mackenzie Becker for the past two years.

    We have reports that His Highness proposed to the actress on his private yacht when they were out on the sea with some friends. Who knew our King had a knack for being a romantic guy.

    It is said that it was the most picture perfect proposal. With champagne at hand, a giant diamond, a family heirloom, and ofcourse the picturesque sunset. 

    While all of the closest people to King were present there, we couldn't help but notice that Prince Dominic was not present when his brother proposed to the love of his life. Are tensions high in the Royal Family? Well we can't tell for now but we'll keep digging.

    But back to the topic on point, King Maddy IV will marry our future queen very soon in an extravagant ceremony fit for a royal. It will be one of the largest events in all of TWP as we, as a nation will come together to celebrate our King and Queen.

    It is suspected that the dignitaries from across the World will be attending the wedding. This will further strengthen the personal relationships of the leaders.

    It would be great to see one of the most extravagant weddings of the century. It'll surely be the talk of the town for years to come or until they give us a Royal heir. Then we'll be head over heels for the heir.

    29th November 1420

    The Rugby World Cup will be starting today. Excitement levels are high in Larxia, with many Larxian fans flocking to Dilber in anticipation of watching their national heroes display their prowess on the field.

    His Royal Highness, King Maddy IV booked a VIP Box for himself and his aides in the all the stadiums where the Larxian National Team will be playing. He'll be traveling to watch the World Cup tomorrow, supporting Larxia in their victories and losses equally from the stands.

    The security detail in the National Team's hotel has been increased tenfold as His Royal Highness, King Maddy IV announced that he would live in the same hotel as the team for the duration of the tournament.

     

    We certainly hope for the dub, but let the world know that Larxia will support the Team always. No matter the result, they will always be considered National heroes.

  3. NLH continues its Green Crusade

     

    By:Jake Bausch

    New Larxia- In latest news, NLH has made a series of investments in Fhaengshian startup iGerator, acquiring 40% stake in the company at the company valuation of $40M.

    Further they made investments worth $150M in Aiarn Chemicals and acquired 20% stake in the company, following which, they received some flak in Fhaengshia. This was because they invested in a company that was responsible for  fish deaths in the Trhein Bay.

    As the New Larxia Stock Exchange and Fhaendhaw Stock Exchange went in a frenzy, NLH CEO Neal Hardy made a statement to clear the air. He stated NLH's position as "to reduce the effects of industries on the environment" and their desire to "have a powerful position in the country to implement changes". 

    Of course it's nothing new to us Larxians. NLH has always been working in accordance to His Royal Highness, King Maddy IV's vision of a strong economy alongside a thriving nature.

    NLH has held a diversified portfolio in Larxia and they have started working on going international and making an impact internationally.

    We are really lucky to have a leader with a vision to progress economy, but not at the dear cost of our environment.

  4. Business Expo Min-Su 1420

    By:Jake Bausch

    New Larxia- The Ministry of Trade of Min-Su recently announced an Expo with various Business opportunities in their nation. Larxia is proud that this measure came after the signing of the Lar-Min Economic Corridor.

    The Government of Larxia has confirmed that corporate giants worth billions, like NLH, Faltech, LNGC, LXS Aviation and Falcon Industries have shown interest in investing in the industries of Min-Su.

    As a trade partner of Min-Su, Larxia would like to invite the nations of the World to attend the Expo as it could translate to stronger economies.

    The complete list of companies visiting Min-Su is not yet confirmed but we can be assured that it will result in the further enrichment of our nation.

  6. Trade Agreement between Larxia and Min-Su

    By: Marcus Kerrigan

    New Larxia- An envoy of Larxian delegates were sent by His Royal Highness, King Maddy IV, to Qiye City to hold talks with the friendly nation of Min-Su. 

    The idea behind holding the talks was to negotiate a trade deal with an old friend of Larxia, which would lead to an age of prosperity in both the nations.

    The relations between these two nations have proven to be the epitome of international cooperation as the negotiations took less than a day and the treaty was signed by both the Monarchs immediately.

    It has pleased the populace of Larxia as we ventured out to see the public opinion of these deal.

    "It's great to see His Highness' working towards global partnership and working towards gaining an important place in International Politics. It will be a give a great economic boost to an already strong economy" said an Economic Specialist. 

    We talked to a spokesperson of Falcon Industries, the largest Arms Manufacturing company in Larxia and one of the top in the world, a semi-state ownership company. He said,"This deal is really great for us. This deal has opened up a market for us that will bring millions of dollars to Larxia and also increase the manufacturing. We will also be launching a new missile (not literally) in the next expo, so countries, keep your eyes on the exhibit."

    We also talked to a Government official. Although he didn't have the time to give a complete, he gave a brief statement in which he said that His Highness', King Maddy IV has been sending Diplomats and Delegates to countries around the World in order to draft deals that would benefit the economic standing of Larxia in the World.

    In short the Lar-Min Economic Corridor has had a positive reply from the populace and Economic Moguls have predicted a prosperous time ahead.

  9. The sound of footsteps echoed through the hallowed halls of the Windlar Castle as the most trusted advisor of King Maddy IV, Jamie Marshall rushed towards His Highness' office with a folder marked confidential.

    "Your Highness, Zoran has fallen. There is a grapple for power. We have intel that Atsil Ani'-Wah' has been kidnapped. Our secret agent was approached by one of the high-profile Monarchists.They have asked for our help alongside that of Saint Mark."

    "Then we must do everything we can to help them come to power, and more importantly survive. Call my brother, Prince Dominic, at once."

    "Why, Your Highness, do I need to call him?"

    "We have had great relations with the Ani'-Wah' house in the past. It is in our best interest that the Monarchists win this power struggle in Zoran."

    "So you need your brother for?"

    " 'You're my' advisor for the sake of the Lord. Sending him to talk with their general will show our support and earn their trust, because without trust, wars like these can never be won."

    "I'll ask him to come here as soon as possible."

    "Fly him here if you have to. He should be off to Zoran to meet the general as late as tomorrow. I want my best agents dispatched to Zoran to start looking for Atsil. In the meantime we'll co-ordinate with Saint Mark in this effort."

    Jamie rushed off into the halls of the palace, simultaneously calling Prince Dominic.

  10. Government

     Larxia is a Complete Monarchy, which means that the Monarch is the head of state, and the head of the government. King James of Larxia is the reigning monarch, ruling over the nation since 1402, ever since his father, King Maddy III died. Larxia was previously a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy, meaning the King was the head of state, but the President was the head of the government, but that system was abolished by a popular vote in 1421, transferring all power to the monarch, King James. The last President of Larxia was President Jules McEnroe, who was in office from 1415-1421, serving one and a half terms. The nation has government divided into Executive, Legislative and Judiciary branches, and a fourth branch, called the Royal Council, though the layout of these divisions is rather unique as compared to other nations of the world.

     

    Branches

    Executive Branch

    The Executive Branch of Larxia is comprised of the King at the national level, Governors at the provincial level and Mayors at the city/district level. The Governors and Mayors are elected for a 4 year term with same rules. They can form their own cabinets composed of ministers to aid in the governing of their provinces. The usual size of the cabinet averages from 12-16 members. Quite a few Nobles participate in the Gubernatorial elections, and there are many Governors currently in office, who belong to one or the other Noble Families.

    Legislative Branch

    The Legislative Branch, now this is interesting. What is the point of having a separate Legislative Branch in a complete Monarchy? That is a valid question. When the powers of the President were transferred to the King, the role of the President became obsolete, but as a politician, the 73 year old Mr. McEnroe is one of the most seasoned politicians in Larxia. The King understood that too, so instead of abolishing the Parliament completely, he removed the upper house of the Parliament, but kept the Lower House intact, and increased the number of politicians who can get elected to the Parliament. The King wanted the people of Larxia to be heard, so he kept a little shadow of the previous democracy alive in the form of the House of Commons. The purpose of this body is to bring the populations demands, grievances, suggestions and requests to the Monarch's notice. This idea was very well recepted by the public and politicians alike. This body cannot pass any laws without the Monarch's approval, but can pass the idea of the law forward to the Monarch. The House can only pass laws in special situations, like having the Monarch's permission beforehand, or in case of an internal strife. In such cases, the proposal must be put to vote, and can only be passed if it receives 2/3rd majority, which is then sent to the King to sign, and the King may suggest some changes to the proposal if he seems it fit. This makes the Legislative Branch unicameral.

    Judiciary Branch

    The Judiciary Branch of Larxia is based on the Common Law, and this legal system is codified and protected by the Constitution of Larxia, a set of laws that all the courts, legislative bodies and even the King must follow. The Supreme Court of Larxia is situated in New Larxia. Every Province has a High Court in their respective capital cities. Some states are so small that they share a High Court, which is situated in one of the provinces capital city. There are different courts for the Executive and Military affairs. The Judges of Larxia are appointed by the King, and by the House of Commons by popular vote. The Chief Justice of Larxia is appointed by the King.

    The Royal Council

    The Royal Council is the fourth branch of Larxian government. This council consists of military strategists, economists, politicians and religious leaders. This is a cabinet equivalent which is appointed by the King, to help him in the governance of Larxia. The different sectors and ministries are still there, only the democratic government was abolished. The King has given portfolios to the members of this Council in a bid to delegate work to different people. In order to ensure that no community feels left out, every political party is given equal number of seats on the council. 

     

    Diplomacy

    The Larxian International Relations are mainly characterized by peaceful intervention, international cooperation and peaceful settlement of conflicts. These principles are given up only if the situation is absolutely dire. The nations Foreign Affairs are headed by the Foreign Minister, currently Prince Dominic, Duke of Salaman. The Royal Council and the House of Commons may advise the Prince on various matters. Any International Treaty or change to the foreign policy must be approved and signed off on by the King. The nation is friendly to most countries, without any particular exceptions. Larxia is one of the founding members of the newly established Andolian Association for Regional Cooperation(AARC), and while it is rather new(as of August 1421), The AARC will surely see an increase in popularity as the World descends into chaos in the near future.

    Despite being a fundamentally peaceful nation, Larxia fields a sizable military, with a total of 305,954 personnel, which is one of the largest armed forces in the world, and the largest in Andolia. There is a Compulsory Service for atleast 2 years, meaning every citizen must serve in any branch of the armed forces for at least 2 years between the age of 18 and 35. A large amount of the Military budget is spent on military technology and production of military vehicles and armaments. A total of $16,336,494,759(1.9% of GDP). The current iteration and doctrine of the Larxian Armed Forces were created in the year 1259, after the passage of National Security Agreement. Since the creation of NSA, Larxia has not been a part of any conflict, instead participating in peacekeeping efforts and humanitarian missions across the world. The nation has, in some cases, supported certain factions in foreign Civil Wars, sending them funds, weapons and sharing intelligence and technology with them. The Larxian Army has 231,511 enlisted personnel, the Air Force has 50,821 personnel, and the Navy has 23,622 personnel. Furthermore, there is an estimate number of 200,000 reserve forces, which are to conscripted in case of a foreign invasion, or a civil war.

  11. History

    Larxian history is mainly divided into four large periods: Antiquity(5200-1806 BF), starting with the earliest human influence in Western Andolia, and ending with the formation of the Kingdom of Lercia; the Classical Age(1806-904 BF), which ended with the fall of the Kingdom of Lercia; the Medieval Age(904 BF-155 AF) ending with the rise of Galitians, and re-establishment of Kingdom of Lercia; the Modern Age(155-1273), starting with the expansionist ideologies of the Galitians, and the establishment of the Empire of Lercia, and ending with the fall of the Empire; and the Contemporary age(1273-present), starting with the fall of the Empire.


    Antiquity (5200-1806 BF):
    Antiquity in Larxian history represents the formative period characterized by the earliest human settlements and the gradual development of societies in Western Andolia. It witnessed the rise of various city-states and cultural entities, each with distinct practices and traditions. Trade routes emerged, fostering exchanges of goods and ideas. This era saw the gradual consolidation of power, leading to the eventual establishment of the Kingdom of Lercia. The architecture, artistic expressions, and religious beliefs that emerged during this time laid the foundation for future Larxian cultural identity.

    Key Events:

    • Emergence of early settlements and city-states.
    • Development of trade routes and cultural exchanges.
    • Formation of the Kingdom of Lercia as a significant political entity.

    Classical Age (1806-904 BF):
    The Classical Age is often regarded as a pinnacle of cultural and artistic achievements in Larxian history. Under the reign of the Kingdom of Lercia, the region experienced a period of relative stability and prosperity. It was marked by flourishing arts, notable architectural accomplishments, advancements in philosophy, and the codification of legal systems. However, internal power struggles, external invasions, and socioeconomic disparities gradually weakened the kingdom, ultimately leading to its downfall.

    Key Events:

    • Golden era of arts, literature, and philosophy.
    • Expansion and eventual decline of the Kingdom of Lercia.

    Medieval Age (904 BF-155 AF):
    The Medieval Age was characterized by decentralization and fragmentation following the collapse of the Kingdom of Lercia. Feudal lords, vying for power and control, carved out smaller domains across Larxia. This period witnessed conflicts, shifting alliances, and power struggles among various factions. The rise of the Galitians as a dominant force eventually led to the reunification and re-establishment of the Kingdom of Lercia, bringing a semblance of stability to the region.

    Key Events:

    • Feudal conflicts and power struggles.
    • Rise of the Galitians and re-establishment of the Kingdom of Lercia.

    Modern Age (155-1273):
    Description: The Modern Age marked a transformative period in Larxian history with the rise of the Galitians and the subsequent establishment of the Empire of Lercia. The Galitians, driven by expansionist ambitions, embarked on conquests, assimilating diverse cultures and territories into their empire. This era saw significant advancements in governance, infrastructure, and the arts. However, the Empire faced internal challenges, including revolts and external threats, leading to its eventual collapse.

    Key Events:

    • Rise of the Empire of Lercia through Galitian expansion.
    • Internal strife and external pressures leading to the Empire's downfall.

    Contemporary Age (1273-present):
    Description: The Contemporary Age commenced with the disintegration of the Empire of Lercia, plunging Larxia into a period of political upheaval and uncertainty. Various factions, regional powers, and emerging ideologies competed for control, resulting in a fragmented political landscape. This era is marked by attempts to redefine Larxian identity, establish new forms of governance, and navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

    Key Events:

    • Political fragmentation and shifting alliances.
    • Ongoing efforts to redefine Larxian identity and governance structures.

    Larxia (Larxian: Larxia), officially known as The Kingdom of Larxia (Larxian: El Reino de Larxia), is a kingdom located in western parts of Andolia. Larxia is the fourth-largest nation in Andolia, covering 652,664 square kilometers. Larxia is the most populated nation of Andolia, with a population of 25,426,293 people. Larxia is divided into 9 states, and 3 Union territories. The capital of Larxia is New Larxia, which is also the most populated city of Larxia, with a population of 3,415,634. Majority of the nation's population belongs to the Larxian ethnic group, with their prominent language being Larxian. There are significant minorities, and immigrants from Polaris, Doll-Guldur, Aura and Andolia alike.

    The land that the Larxians call home has been inhabited for a several thousands of years. The first recorded civilization started here in 3266 BF. In the beginning, there were small kingdoms, bordering each other. There were alliances, trades and animosity. The time from 3266 BF to 1806 BF was very turbulent for the region, as there was a constant grapple for power. Everybody wanted more land, and more power. This made the region very unstable. In 1806 BF the Kingdom of Galitia, won the war against their sworn enemies, the Kingdom of Leonesa, which led to the collapse of the allies of Leonesa. This marked the era of Galitian rule of Larxia, from 1806 BF to 904 BF. The Galitians ruled over present-day Larxia, for almost 1000 years. Following the fall of Galitians, several states emerged. The Galitians were still Kings, but their lands had decreased, by a lot. In around 155 AF, the Galitians, once again rose to power, and invaded the other Kingdoms. By around 470 AF, the Galitians ruled over whole of present-day Larxia, but they did not stop here. They were hungry for more, as they went onto invading other neighbouring kingdoms. At it's peak, The Kingdom of Lercia, as called by the Galitians, spanned from west-to-east, around 725 AF. The empire fell in 1273 AF, with the Kingdom being restricted to current day Larxia.
