Tupmonia

Disappointment Continues in the Esferiad
With day 2 concluded, Tupmonia has yet to see any medals come their way. In tennis Tupmonia combined for a terrible 0-7. Tupmonia also lost in both of their repechage matches in Taekwondo. In baseball Tupmonia looked strong for the first five innings against Nieubasria, keeping the game tied at two, but Nieubasria pulled away in the sixth inning and won 8-4. Additionally, Tupmonia suffered another crushing defeat in basketball. This time against the United Adaikes. Team UAD hit a game winning basket that put them up by one with 0.8 seconds left on the clock. Tupmonia lost 70-69. Evan Walker suffered an ACL tear during the game, and he will be sent back home after averaging a solid 14 points through the two games. Sources say Mitchell Nowell will fly to the games to take his spot. Finally, for beach volleyball Sylvia Marband and Kerry Bulon put up no competition against their opponent, losing by nine or more in both games. 
Tupmonia is not doing so hot to start these games off, but hope still remains for other sports.

The Tupmonian Times 
Concluding the day 1 results of the II Summer Esferiad, Tupmonia put on a disappointing show to say the least. The teams placed in the bottom rankings for nearly every sport they participated in. Most notably the Tupmonian basketball team. Tupmonias basketball team lost 74-67 to Team Fuentana in a thrilling game. Chris Randle, the team captain had a upsetting night, putting up only 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Julius Paul commented on the team performance saying, "We gotta do better out there. The people of Tupmonia put us to a certain standard and we let them down, and the king down. We gotta keep our heads up and bounce back." Although the team suffered a depressing loss they're confident for the games to come. 
Tupmonia's best performance came in Individual Archery where Hindro Lingbuw and Larry Culfin both finished in the top sixteen. 
Tupmonia looks to recover from their frustrating performance in the days to come. Additionally, King Joseph VII has arrived to Giovanniland shortly after the conclusion of the first day of the games.

Government:
Tupmonia is run through an Absolute monarchy system. The Royal House of Tyke has ruled Tupmonia for just over 1,200 years. The current ruler is King Joseph VII, and his queen is Lyanna Reed. He has ruled Tupmonia since 1403. 
 
The Great Houses- Tupmonia is split into 3 different provinces, each governed by a different great house. The South is governed by House Fenn. The current warden of The South is Rory Fenn II. He has governed The South since 1407. The West is governed by House Cobb. The current warden of The West is William Cobb. He has governed The West since 1377. Finally, The East is controlled by the royal house of Tyke. Although House Tyke rules all three provinces, their prime focus is pointed to the East.
 
The Council- Each great house has its own council of 5 people. The types of people can range anywhere from a random civilian to a lord. The council of each great house is chosen by the ruler of each great house. There are 3 requirements to qualify for a council spot: Over the age of 25, Tupmonian citizenship for at least 20 years, and residency in your province for at least 10 years. 
The Council serves as a cabinet of advisors to their warden/king on major issues across their lands. In 1322 a law was passed that any king/warden that came into power under the age of 20 must follow the majority vote of their council whether or not they agree with the ruling, thus putting younger and less experienced kings/wardens in check. 
 
Tupmonian Legislature-
The Tupmonian Legislature is made up of 52 legislators. 2 from each of the 26 counties in Tupmonia. They are voted in by the people every 3 years (one term). Every legislator can serve a max 3 terms. The qualifications for a spot on the legislature include: Over the age of 25, Tupmonian citizenship for at least 15 years, and residency in your county for at least 7 years. Although the legislature has some power, most of their power is for appearance to make it seem like the people have more representation, when in reality most of the power is held by the king and wardens.

HISTORY:
 
First settlers: Circa 700 BF: 
The first known Tupmonians are known to have settled in modern-day Tupmonia around 2100 years ago. It’s not entirely clear where these settlers came from, but most sources imply that they came from a region south of Tupmonia. They called themselves the Tupans, and they are the first known men to follow Jonism. 
 
The Golban Clans: As the Tupans expanded farther north they eventually encountered the Golban Clans. The Tupans and Golban Clans attempted peace at first, but after disagreements about the division of land, it sparked several small skirmishes called the Hill Wars (around 510 BF). After a few months of fighting the Clans came out victorious, pushing the Tupans back south. 
 
The Tupan War and Establishment: 330 BF- 227 BF: 
As the population grew the Tupans attempted a second expansion into Golban territory, thus leading to another war with the clans known as the Tupan War (327-303). The war lasted for 24 years, but the Tupans came out victorious thanks to the decisive Battle of Progh, led by Ronor Lonebar. The Golban Clans were pushed northwest and most of their land was taken.
 
After the war, the Tupans decided to establish themselves as a newly built kingdom. Ronor Lonebar was crowned king for his leadership in the Tupan War. He built a formidable city called Lonebar City. A feudalistic society was adopted. Lords and knights were established over time, most of them being rich farmers, merchants, or war heroes. 

 
Expansion Era: 230 BF- 186 AF:
After Lonebar City was established, many newly appointed lords had lands granted to them to hold and manage. Over the next few centuries, castles, villages, mines, farms, and roads were built across Tupmonia, along with another city called Greenworth.
 
Jonism became much more prevalent in Tupmonian society as well. Many Jonals (temples of worship) were built across Tupmonia. The Bymons (priests) and the king at the time (King Gabriel the Holy) established a relationship between the crown and jonal in 57 BF. However, the Jonal held little power politically. 
 
Although this era mostly saw peace, there were a few rebellions. In 27 AF a small peasant rebellion was launched in a small region in the south because of unfair tax rates and poor treatment by Lord Plow, but it was quickly crushed after a failed attempt to overtake Lord Plow's keep. In 94 AF 2 of the 9 Golban clans decided to revolt because their lands were being used by Tupmonian farmers. The lords of the north and the two clans warred for a few months, but the clans didn’t have the numbers to resist the Tupmonians. 
 
The expansion finally saw a steady decline at around 180 AF. The crown had a tough time affording further expansion, and Tupmonia’s economic power slightly fell. 
 
Tykes Rebellion: 186 AF- 211 AF:
Tykes Rebellion is known to be one of the most pivotal points in Tupmonian history. It saw Lord Tyke, Lord Fenn, and several other lords rebel against the crown after Lord Tykes’ daughter, Sandra Tyke, was kidnapped, raped, and later killed by the king. Several of Lord Tykes’ men and one of his knights were killed trying to protect/save his daughter. Rilwon Fenn, heir to Lord Fenn, the king’s squire, and Sandra Tykes betrothed was also murdered by the king’s men amongst the fighting.
 
Most Lords throughout Tupmonia stayed loyal to the king out of fear and/or knowing the rebellion was a losing cause. With the rebellion heavily outnumbered, Lord Tyke attempted to ally with the Golban Clans. In return for their men and supplies, the clans would receive better weaponry, horses, gold, and they would receive some land back after the war was won. Five of the remaining eight clans agreed. Although the clans added a significant number of men to the rebellion, they were still outnumbered 2 to 1.
The Golbans used guerilla warfare tactics, while Lord Tyke used the main force of his men to besiege enemy strongholds.
 
War raged on for 25 years, but it saw the rebellion victorious. The death count of the war tallied up to around 90,000 total. House Lonebar was overthrown, and House Tyke took control of the crown. Some of the most notable turning points of the war were: The Battle of Horseshoe Road, The Greenworth Siege, The Battle of Silent Swords, and The Fall of Lonebar City. 
 
The Reconstruction Era: 211 AF- 302 AF:
After Lord Tyke took control of the crown he denounced House Lonebar of its lands and titles, executed the lords who remained loyal to the Lonebars, pardoned the lords who recognized his victory, and granted lordships and knighthood to men who had big parts in the rebellion. Lord Fenn and Lord Cobb were turned into great lords for their significance in the war, and the Golban Clans received the lands they were promised. However, the kingdom was in disarray. Lonebar City was in ruins, Greenworth sacked, and villages burned. Famines plagued Tupmonia for a year, and it resulted in at least 25,000 deaths.
 
Lonebar loyalists remained after the war and used the chaos to their advantage. They claimed that House Tyke was to blame for killing the people, and many didn’t like that their land was being given to the Golban Clans. The loyalists formed a small army and called themselves The Kingsmen. They didn't recognize House Tyke as the new royal family. They terrorized newly claimed Golban lands and attacked Tupmonian villages However, they didn't become a major problem until later on. 
 
It took nearly a century to rebuild Tupmonia back to what it was. When the Reconstruction Era came to an end Tupmonia was split into three different provinces: The East, The West, and The South.  The city of Magnolia was built (the capital of Tupmonia) in The East, and it was named the new royal seat. Greenworth and The South were given to Lord Fenn to govern under the crown. Finally, Lonebar City (renamed Warrington after the rebellion) and The West were given to Lord Cobb to govern under the crown.
 
The War of the Three Kings: 305 AF- 308 AF:
As the Reconstruction Era came to an end The Kingsmen had gathered near 3,000 fighting men and the support of most of the people that were moved off the land that was given to the Golbans. Instead of waging war on the Tupmonians (knowing they had nowhere near the numbers and supplies needed for even a chance of victory), the loyalist group decided to wage war against the much less equipped Golban Clans. They planned to take over the Golban lands and form a separate kingdom. The Kingsmen were led by Rob Lonebar, the great-grandson of the last Lonebar king. The king of Tupmonia didn’t intervene. He decided to let them fight it out and would sweep up whatever remained of the Kingsmen. 
 
The Golban Clans and The Kingsmen warred for around two and a half years. No side held an upper hand, but both sides were weakening fast. In June of 308 AF, King Noah Tyke sent 7,000 men to meet the remaining Kingsmen in the field. The Kingsmen were destroyed within an hour (This battle is known as Lonebars Last Stand). Rob Lonebar was captured and executed two months later. This ended military opposition against the new monarch for centuries to come. 
 
The Prosper Era: 310 AF- 1048 AF:
When the Reconstruction Era came to an end, the economy saw a steady rise due to plentiful harvests and successful trade across Tupmonia. The population grew exponentially as well, thus leading to improved and more frequent infrastructure. 
The near 900 years of growth cemented Tupmonia as an agricultural-driven country. Tupmonia also expanded their trade in this era. Fhaengshia and Tupmonia signed a deal in 1043 (shortly after Giovanniland withdrew from Fhaengshia) that allowed trade between the two nations (the nations traded before but under heavy tolls). The trade deal also allowed Tupmonia to use Fhaengshias ports in return for a percentage of the profits. The deal opened up trade to other nations across the world and it also improved foreign relations. 
 
Viggo’s Conquest: 564 AF- 577 AF: 
Although Tupmonia thrived during this era, the Golbans saw more war. Tykes Rebellion, Lonebars Last Stand, and the famines following the wars crippled the Golban population. Only four of the original twelve clans remained when the Prosper Era began. 
The Loshad clan held 40% of the Golban territory, while the other three clans shared the remaining 60%. The disagreement of land distribution and division of necessities became a big issue amongst the Golbans and created a lot of tension between the clans. Most of the blame was pointed towards the Loshad Clan because of their wealth and holdings. Many accused the Loshads of being Tupmonian loyalists because of their lasting friendship with the Tupmonians after Tykes Rebellion. 
 
In 564 Viggo Otamar, the leader of the Loshad Clan declared war on the three other Golban Clans. Viggo and the Loshad clan were outnumbered 25,000 to 10,000. The clans warred for 13 years (with no Tupmonian interference) and Viggo came out victorious after the only clan remaining surrendered. The Loshad clan now held 85% of Golban territory and the Svitoy Clan held the remaining land. Viggo is now known as one of the greatest warriors and generals in Golban history. 
 
The End of Feudalism: 1048 AF-1060 AF: 
With trade expanding, many towns and cities grew in population as a result. This led to feudal lords holding less power, while the king and the people gained more power. The feudal system quickly became inefficient. Lords attempted to keep their peasants on their manors and lands, this eventually led to several peasant revolts (1049-1058) around the kingdom, most of them being successful. Feudalism was fully abolished in 1060 AF. 
 
The Modern Age: 1060 AF- Present
With Feudalism abolished, Tupmonia was now transitioning into a capitalist society. Many Lords lost their power and titles, which led to castles and strongholds being abandoned across Tupmonia. However, lords and knights still existed in society. Many were given military tasks, became politicians, or given local governance authority (but with much less power than before). On the other hand, many smaller knights and lords kept their titles, but they didn’t hold much power at all. 
 
In 1181 the People's Choice Act was established after a long and strong push for reform. It made changes to the electoral system in Tupmonia. The Tupmonian Legislature was formed as a result, it allowed eligible citizens to vote for people to represent them. Most of the people in the legislature were lords and knights, but that slowly changed over time. Although the legislature had some power, most of their power was for appearance to make it seem like the people had more representation, when in reality most of the power was still held by the king and wardens. 
 
A major change also came in the Golban Tupmonian relations. In 1247 Golbans were offered Tupmonian citizenship and were given the right to run and vote for positions in government. Most Golbans agreed and a new city was built in Golban territory called Viggo. However there were some that disagreed and formed their own clan and called themselves The Ancient Ones (or Drevniy in Ancient Golban. This clan is still around today and they live in the northern Tupmonian countryside. 
 
Along with Magnolia, Greenworth, Warrington, and now Viggo a couple more cities were built. Joland (also known as the Holy City) was fully built in Southwest Tupmonia in the year 1285. And Fennview was built in Southeast Tupmonia and completed in the year 1312. An intricate road system was built to connect the cities making transportation a lot easier. 
 
The modern history of Tupmonia was mostly peaceful, besides some conflict with The Ancient Ones. Tupmonia is now known as a nation with a rich history and is still developing to greatness today.

Geography:
Tupmonia is located in northern Andolia. The kingdom borders Fhaengshia to the northeast, Greenman Occupied Territory to its west, and Nagaraningrad to its southeast. The land directly south and north of Tupmonia remains unclaimed. Tupmonia total area is 123,815 km2, and it’s located between latitudes 22° and 30° South, and longitudes 0° and 8° West. Tupmonia uses the International Atomic Time (IAT+0) as the national time zone.
 
Tupmonias topography mostly consists of rich grasslands, shrublands, and some rivers. Most notably the Laronan Plains, the Golban Forest, the Tupan Hills, and the Hammel Rivers.
    
(A small portion of the Laronan Plains)                        
 
Tupmonia has a tropical and subtropical climate except for a drier area in the west. The north and west have an average temperature of 87°F (30°C) during the day and a cooler 76°F (24°C) at night. The north and west also have low humidity, making the air much drier. In the south and east, the weather is slightly cooler but much more humid. During the day the temperature averages 79°F (26°C), whereas at night the temperature averages 71°F (21°C).
 
Some of Tupmonia’s wildlife includes bison, elk, coyotes, hawks, and hundreds of other species of animals and plants.

Government:
Tupmonia is run through an Absolute monarchy system. The Royal House of Tyke has ruled Tupmonia for just over 1,200 years. The current ruler is King Joseph VII, and his queen is Lyanna Reed. He has ruled Tupmonia since 1403. 
 
The Great Houses- Tupmonia is split into 3 different provinces, each governed by a different great house. The South is governed by House Fenn. The current warden of The South is Rory Fenn II. He has governed The South since 1407. The West is governed by House Cobb. The current warden of The West is William Cobb. He has governed The West since 1377. Finally, The East is controlled by the royal house of Tyke. Although House Tyke rules all three provinces, their prime focus is pointed to the East.
 
The Council- Each great house has its own council of 5 people. The types of people can range anywhere from a random civilian to a lord. The council of each great house is chosen by the ruler of each great house. There are 3 requirements to qualify for a council spot: Over the age of 25, Tupmonian citizenship for at least 20 years, and residency in your province for at least 10 years. 
The Council serves as a cabinet of advisors to their warden/king on major issues across their lands. In 1322 a law was passed that any king/warden that came into power under the age of 20 must follow the majority vote of their council whether or not they agree with the ruling, thus putting younger and less experienced kings/wardens in check. 
 
Tupmonian Legislature-
The Tupmonian Legislature is made up of 52 legislators. 2 from each of the 26 counties in Tupmonia. They are voted in by the people every 3 years (one term). Every legislator can serve a max 3 terms. The qualifications for a spot on the legislature include: Over the age of 25, Tupmonian citizenship for at least 15 years, and residency in your county for at least 7 years. Although the legislature has some power, most of their power is for appearance to make it seem like the people have more representation, when in reality most of the power is held by the king and wardens.

HISTORY:
 
First settlers: Circa 700 BF: 
The first known Tupmonians are known to have settled in modern-day Tupmonia around 2100 years ago. It’s not entirely clear where these settlers came from, but most sources imply that they came from a region south of Tupmonia. They called themselves the Tupans, and they are the first known men to follow Jonism. 
 
The Golban Clans: As the Tupans expanded farther north they eventually encountered the Golban Clans. The Tupans and Golban Clans attempted peace at first, but after disagreements about the division of land, it sparked several small skirmishes called the Hill Wars (around 510 BF). After a few months of fighting the Clans came out victorious, pushing the Tupans back south. 
 
The Tupan War and Establishment: 330 BF- 227 BF: 
As the population grew the Tupans attempted a second expansion into Golban territory, thus leading to another war with the clans known as the Tupan War (327-303). The war lasted for 24 years, but the Tupans came out victorious thanks to the decisive Battle of Progh, led by Ronor Lonebar. The Golban Clans were pushed northwest and most of their land was taken.
 
After the war, the Tupans decided to establish themselves as a newly built kingdom. Ronor Lonebar was crowned king for his leadership in the Tupan War. He built a formidable city called Lonebar City. A feudalistic society was adopted. Lords and knights were established over time, most of them being rich farmers, merchants, or war heroes. 

 
Expansion Era: 230 BF- 186 AF:
After Lonebar City was established, many newly appointed lords had lands granted to them to hold and manage. Over the next few centuries, castles, villages, mines, farms, and roads were built across Tupmonia, along with another city called Greenworth.
 
Jonism became much more prevalent in Tupmonian society as well. Many Jonals (temples of worship) were built across Tupmonia. The Bymons (priests) and the king at the time (King Gabriel the Holy) established a relationship between the crown and jonal in 57 BF. However, the Jonal held little power politically. 
 
Although this era mostly saw peace, there were a few rebellions. In 27 AF a small peasant rebellion was launched in a small region in the south because of unfair tax rates and poor treatment by Lord Plow, but it was quickly crushed after a failed attempt to overtake Lord Plow's keep. In 94 AF 2 of the 9 Golban clans decided to revolt because their lands were being used by Tupmonian farmers. The lords of the north and the two clans warred for a few months, but the clans didn’t have the numbers to resist the Tupmonians. 
 
The expansion finally saw a steady decline at around 180 AF. The crown had a tough time affording further expansion, and Tupmonia’s economic power slightly fell. 
 
Tykes Rebellion: 186 AF- 211 AF:
Tykes Rebellion is known to be one of the most pivotal points in Tupmonian history. It saw Lord Tyke, Lord Fenn, and several other lords rebel against the crown after Lord Tykes’ daughter, Sandra Tyke, was kidnapped, raped, and later killed by the king. Several of Lord Tykes’ men and one of his knights were killed trying to protect/save his daughter. Rilwon Fenn, heir to Lord Fenn, the king’s squire, and Sandra Tykes betrothed was also murdered by the king’s men amongst the fighting.
 
Most Lords throughout Tupmonia stayed loyal to the king out of fear and/or knowing the rebellion was a losing cause. With the rebellion heavily outnumbered, Lord Tyke attempted to ally with the Golban Clans. In return for their men and supplies, the clans would receive better weaponry, horses, gold, and they would receive some land back after the war was won. Five of the remaining eight clans agreed. Although the clans added a significant number of men to the rebellion, they were still outnumbered 2 to 1.
The Golbans used guerilla warfare tactics, while Lord Tyke used the main force of his men to besiege enemy strongholds.
 
War raged on for 25 years, but it saw the rebellion victorious. The death count of the war tallied up to around 90,000 total. House Lonebar was overthrown, and House Tyke took control of the crown. Some of the most notable turning points of the war were: The Battle of Horseshoe Road, The Greenworth Siege, The Battle of Silent Swords, and The Fall of Lonebar City. 
 
The Reconstruction Era: 211 AF- 302 AF:
After Lord Tyke took control of the crown he denounced House Lonebar of its lands and titles, executed the lords who remained loyal to the Lonebars, pardoned the lords who recognized his victory, and granted lordships and knighthood to men who had big parts in the rebellion. Lord Fenn and Lord Cobb were turned into great lords for their significance in the war, and the Golban Clans received the lands they were promised. However, the kingdom was in disarray. Lonebar City was in ruins, Greenworth sacked, and villages burned. Famines plagued Tupmonia for a year, and it resulted in at least 25,000 deaths.
 
Lonebar loyalists remained after the war and used the chaos to their advantage. They claimed that House Tyke was to blame for killing the people, and many didn’t like that their land was being given to the Golban Clans. The loyalists formed a small army and called themselves The Kingsmen. They didn't recognize House Tyke as the new royal family. They terrorized newly claimed Golban lands and attacked Tupmonian villages However, they didn't become a major problem until later on. 
 
It took nearly a century to rebuild Tupmonia back to what it was. When the Reconstruction Era came to an end Tupmonia was split into three different provinces: The East, The West, and The South.  The city of Magnolia was built (the capital of Tupmonia) in The East, and it was named the new royal seat. Greenworth and The South were given to Lord Fenn to govern under the crown. Finally, Lonebar City (renamed Warrington after the rebellion) and The West were given to Lord Cobb to govern under the crown.
 
The War of the Three Kings: 305 AF- 308 AF:
As the Reconstruction Era came to an end The Kingsmen had gathered near 3,000 fighting men and the support of most of the people that were moved off the land that was given to the Golbans. Instead of waging war on the Tupmonians (knowing they had nowhere near the numbers and supplies needed for even a chance of victory), the loyalist group decided to wage war against the much less equipped Golban Clans. They planned to take over the Golban lands and form a separate kingdom. The Kingsmen were led by Rob Lonebar, the great-grandson of the last Lonebar king. The king of Tupmonia didn’t intervene. He decided to let them fight it out and would sweep up whatever remained of the Kingsmen. 
 
The Golban Clans and The Kingsmen warred for around two and a half years. No side held an upper hand, but both sides were weakening fast. In June of 308 AF, King Noah Tyke sent 7,000 men to meet the remaining Kingsmen in the field. The Kingsmen were destroyed within an hour (This battle is known as Lonebars Last Stand). Rob Lonebar was captured and executed two months later. This ended military opposition against the new monarch for centuries to come. 
 
The Prosper Era: 310 AF- 1048 AF:
When the Reconstruction Era came to an end, the economy saw a steady rise due to plentiful harvests and successful trade across Tupmonia. The population grew exponentially as well, thus leading to improved and more frequent infrastructure. 
The near 900 years of growth cemented Tupmonia as an agricultural-driven country. Tupmonia also expanded their trade in this era. Fhaengshia and Tupmonia signed a deal in 1043 (shortly after Giovanniland withdrew from Fhaengshia) that allowed trade between the two nations (the nations traded before but under heavy tolls). The trade deal also allowed Tupmonia to use Fhaengshias ports in return for a percentage of the profits. The deal opened up trade to other nations across the world and it also improved foreign relations. 
 
Viggo’s Conquest: 564 AF- 577 AF: 
Although Tupmonia thrived during this era, the Golbans saw more war. Tykes Rebellion, Lonebars Last Stand, and the famines following the wars crippled the Golban population. Only four of the original twelve clans remained when the Prosper Era began. 
The Loshad clan held 40% of the Golban territory, while the other three clans shared the remaining 60%. The disagreement of land distribution and division of necessities became a big issue amongst the Golbans and created a lot of tension between the clans. Most of the blame was pointed towards the Loshad Clan because of their wealth and holdings. Many accused the Loshads of being Tupmonian loyalists because of their lasting friendship with the Tupmonians after Tykes Rebellion. 
 
In 564 Viggo Otamar, the leader of the Loshad Clan declared war on the three other Golban Clans. Viggo and the Loshad clan were outnumbered 25,000 to 10,000. The clans warred for 13 years (with no Tupmonian interference) and Viggo came out victorious after the only clan remaining surrendered. The Loshad clan now held 85% of Golban territory and the Svitoy Clan held the remaining land. Viggo is now known as one of the greatest warriors and generals in Golban history. 
 
The End of Feudalism: 1048 AF-1060 AF: 
With trade expanding, many towns and cities grew in population as a result. This led to feudal lords holding less power, while the king and the people gained more power. The feudal system quickly became inefficient. Lords attempted to keep their peasants on their manors and lands, this eventually led to several peasant revolts (1049-1058) around the kingdom, most of them being successful. Feudalism was fully abolished in 1060 AF. 
 
The Modern Age: 1060 AF- Present
With Feudalism abolished, Tupmonia was now transitioning into a capitalist society. Many Lords lost their power and titles, which led to castles and strongholds being abandoned across Tupmonia. However, lords and knights still existed in society. Many were given military tasks, became politicians, or given local governance authority (but with much less power than before). On the other hand, many smaller knights and lords kept their titles, but they didn’t hold much power at all. 
 
In 1181 the People's Choice Act was established after a long and strong push for reform. It made changes to the electoral system in Tupmonia. The Tupmonian Legislature was formed as a result, it allowed eligible citizens to vote for people to represent them. Most of the people in the legislature were lords and knights, but that slowly changed over time. Although the legislature had some power, most of their power was for appearance to make it seem like the people had more representation, when in reality most of the power was still held by the king and wardens. 
 
A major change also came in the Golban Tupmonian relations. In 1247 Golbans were offered Tupmonian citizenship and were given the right to run and vote for positions in government. Most Golbans agreed and a new city was built in Golban territory called Viggo. However there were some that disagreed and formed their own clan and called themselves The Ancient Ones (or Drevniy in Ancient Golban. This clan is still around today and they live in the northern Tupmonian countryside. 
 
Along with Magnolia, Greenworth, Warrington, and now Viggo a couple more cities were built. Joland (also known as the Holy City) was fully built in Southwest Tupmonia in the year 1285. And Fennview was built in Southeast Tupmonia and completed in the year 1312. An intricate road system was built to connect the cities making transportation a lot easier. 
 
The modern history of Tupmonia was mostly peaceful, besides some conflict with The Ancient Ones. Tupmonia is now known as a nation with a rich history and is still developing to greatness today.

The war lasted for 24 years, but the Tupans came out victorious thanks to the decisive Battle of Progh, led by Ronor Lonebar. The Golban Clans were pushed northwest and most of their land was taken.
 
After the war, the Tupans decided to establish themselves as a newly built kingdom. Ronor Lonebar was crowned king for his leadership in the Tupan War. He built a formidable city called Lonebar City. A feudalistic society was adopted. Lords and knights were established over time, most of them being rich farmers, merchants, or war heroes. 

 
Expansion Era: 230 BF- 186 AF:
After Lonebar City was established, many newly appointed lords had lands granted to them to hold and manage. Over the next few centuries, castles, villages, mines, farms, and roads were built across Tupmonia, along with another city called Greenworth.
 
Jonism became much more prevalent in Tupmonian society as well. Many Jonals (temples of worship) were built across Tupmonia. The Bymons (priests) and the king at the time (King Gabriel the Holy) established a relationship between the crown and jonal in 57 BF. However, the Jonal held little power politically. 
 
Although this era mostly saw peace, there were a few rebellions. In 27 AF a small peasant rebellion was launched in a small region in the south because of unfair tax rates and poor treatment by Lord Plow, but it was quickly crushed after a failed attempt to overtake Lord Plow's keep. In 94 AF 2 of the 9 Golban clans decided to revolt because their lands were being used by Tupmonian farmers. The lords of the north and the two clans warred for a few months, but the clans didn’t have the numbers to resist the Tupmonians. 
 
The expansion finally saw a steady decline at around 180 AF. The crown had a tough time affording further expansion, and Tupmonia’s economic power slightly fell. 
 
Tykes Rebellion: 186 AF- 211 AF:
Tykes Rebellion is known to be one of the most pivotal points in Tupmonian history. It saw Lord Tyke, Lord Fenn, and several other lords rebel against the crown after Lord Tykes’ daughter, Sandra Tyke, was kidnapped, raped, and later killed by the king. Several of Lord Tykes’ men and one of his knights were killed trying to protect/save his daughter. Rilwon Fenn, heir to Lord Fenn, the king’s squire, and Sandra Tykes betrothed was also murdered by the king’s men amongst the fighting.
 
Most Lords throughout Tupmonia stayed loyal to the king out of fear and/or knowing the rebellion was a losing cause. With the rebellion heavily outnumbered, Lord Tyke attempted to ally with the Golban Clans. In return for their men and supplies, the clans would receive better weaponry, horses, gold, and they would receive some land back after the war was won. Five of the remaining eight clans agreed. Although the clans added a significant number of men to the rebellion, they were still outnumbered 2 to 1.
The Golbans used guerilla warfare tactics, while Lord Tyke used the main force of his men to besiege enemy strongholds.
 
War raged on for 25 years, but it saw the rebellion victorious. The death count of the war tallied up to around 90,000 total. House Lonebar was overthrown, and House Tyke took control of the crown. Some of the most notable turning points of the war were: The Battle of Horseshoe Road, The Greenworth Siege, The Battle of Silent Swords, and The Fall of Lonebar City. 
 
The Reconstruction Era: 211 AF- 302 AF:
After Lord Tyke took control of the crown he denounced House Lonebar of its lands and titles, executed the lords who remained loyal to the Lonebars, pardoned the lords who recognized his victory, and granted lordships and knighthood to men who had big parts in the rebellion. Lord Fenn and Lord Cobb were turned into great lords for their significance in the war, and the Golban Clans received the lands they were promised. However, the kingdom was in disarray. Lonebar City was in ruins, Greenworth sacked, and villages burned. Famines plagued Tupmonia for a year, and it resulted in at least 25,000 deaths.
 
Lonebar loyalists remained after the war and used the chaos to their advantage. They claimed that House Tyke was to blame for killing the people, and many didn’t like that their land was being given to the Golban Clans. The loyalists formed a small army and called themselves The Kingsmen. They didn't recognize House Tyke as the new royal family. They terrorized newly claimed Golban lands and attacked Tupmonian villages However, they didn't become a major problem until later on. 
 
It took nearly a century to rebuild Tupmonia back to what it was. When the Reconstruction Era came to an end Tupmonia was split into three different provinces: The East, The West, and The South.  The city of Magnolia was built (the capital of Tupmonia) in The East, and it was named the new royal seat. Greenworth and The South were given to Lord Fenn to govern under the crown. Finally, Lonebar City (renamed Warrington after the rebellion) and The West were given to Lord Cobb to govern under the crown.
 
The War of the Three Kings: 305 AF- 308 AF:
As the Reconstruction Era came to an end The Kingsmen had gathered near 3,000 fighting men and the support of most of the people that were moved off the land that was given to the Golbans. Instead of waging war on the Tupmonians (knowing they had nowhere near the numbers and supplies needed for even a chance of victory), the loyalist group decided to wage war against the much less equipped Golban Clans. They planned to take over the Golban lands and form a separate kingdom. The Kingsmen were led by Rob Lonebar, the great-grandson of the last Lonebar king. The king of Tupmonia didn’t intervene. He decided to let them fight it out and would sweep up whatever remained of the Kingsmen. 
 
The Golban Clans and The Kingsmen warred for around two and a half years. No side held an upper hand, but both sides were weakening fast. In June of 308 AF, King Noah Tyke sent 7,000 men to meet the remaining Kingsmen in the field. The Kingsmen were destroyed within an hour (This battle is known as Lonebars Last Stand). Rob Lonebar was captured and executed two months later. This ended military opposition against the new monarch for centuries to come. 
 
The Prosper Era: 310 AF- 1048 AF:
When the Reconstruction Era came to an end, the economy saw a steady rise due to plentiful harvests and successful trade across Tupmonia. The population grew exponentially as well, thus leading to improved and more frequent infrastructure. 
The near 900 years of growth cemented Tupmonia as an agricultural-driven country. Tupmonia also expanded their trade in this era. Fhaengshia and Tupmonia signed a deal in 1043 (shortly after Giovanniland withdrew from Fhaengshia) that allowed trade between the two nations (the nations traded before but under heavy tolls). The trade deal also allowed Tupmonia to use Fhaengshias ports in return for a percentage of the profits. The deal opened up trade to other nations across the world and it also improved foreign relations. 
 
Viggo’s Conquest: 564 AF- 577 AF: 
Although Tupmonia thrived during this era, the Golbans saw more war. Tykes Rebellion, Lonebars Last Stand, and the famines following the wars crippled the Golban population. Only four of the original twelve clans remained when the Prosper Era began. 
The Loshad clan held 40% of the Golban territory, while the other three clans shared the remaining 60%. The disagreement of land distribution and division of necessities became a big issue amongst the Golbans and created a lot of tension between the clans. Most of the blame was pointed towards the Loshad Clan because of their wealth and holdings. Many accused the Loshads of being Tupmonian loyalists because of their lasting friendship with the Tupmonians after Tykes Rebellion. 
 
In 564 Viggo Otamar, the leader of the Loshad Clan declared war on the three other Golban Clans. Viggo and the Loshad clan were outnumbered 25,000 to 10,000. The clans warred for 13 years (with no Tupmonian interference) and Viggo came out victorious after the only clan remaining surrendered. The Loshad clan now held 85% of Golban territory and the Svitoy Clan held the remaining land. Viggo is now known as one of the greatest warriors and generals in Golban history. 
 
The End of Feudalism: 1048 AF-1060 AF: 
With trade expanding, many towns and cities grew in population as a result. This led to feudal lords holding less power, while the king and the people gained more power. The feudal system quickly became inefficient. Lords attempted to keep their peasants on their manors and lands, this eventually led to several peasant revolts (1049-1058) around the kingdom, most of them being successful. Feudalism was fully abolished in 1060 AF. 
 
The Modern Age: 1060 AF- Present
With Feudalism abolished, Tupmonia was now transitioning into a capitalist society. Many Lords lost their power and titles, which led to castles and strongholds being abandoned across Tupmonia. However, lords and knights still existed in society. Many were given military tasks, became politicians, or given local governance authority (but with much less power than before). On the other hand, many smaller knights and lords kept their titles, but they didn’t hold much power at all. 
 
In 1181 the People's Choice Act was established after a long and strong push for reform. It made changes to the electoral system in Tupmonia. The Tupmonian Legislature was formed as a result, it allowed eligible citizens to vote for people to represent them. Most of the people in the legislature were lords and knights, but that slowly changed over time. Although the legislature had some power, most of their power was for appearance to make it seem like the people had more representation, when in reality most of the power was still held by the king and wardens. 
 
A major change also came in the Golban Tupmonian relations. In 1247 Golbans were offered Tupmonian citizenship and were given the right to run and vote for positions in government. Most Golbans agreed and a new city was built in Golban territory called Viggo. However there were some that disagreed and formed their own clan and called themselves The Ancient Ones (or Drevniy in Ancient Golban. This clan is still around today and they live in the northern Tupmonian countryside. 
 
Along with Magnolia, Greenworth, Warrington, and now Viggo a couple more cities were built. Joland (also known as the Holy City) was fully built in Southwest Tupmonia in the year 1285. And Fennview was built in Southeast Tupmonia and completed in the year 1312. An intricate road system was built to connect the cities making transportation a lot easier. 
 
The modern history of Tupmonia was mostly peaceful, besides some conflict with The Ancient Ones. Tupmonia is now known as a nation with a rich history and is still developing to greatness today.
