  6. The Federal Republic of the Vergville Population: 8,317,360 people Pop density: 80 km^2 Land Area: 103,967 km^2 TLD: .vg Calling code: +1 28 Time zone: IAT -4 Demonym: Vergen; Vergens Currency: Popper Overview: The small republic was founded on the principles of democracy and populism. As a result, the parties formed a basis of a decentralized government, a confederation of sorts. But being situated in Polaris, the lingering threat of war and invasion has brought the nation closer and closer to the establishment of a federation. For the protection of the population, the right winged populists paved the way to conscription laws, whilst the left wing organized plans of economy for the start and duration of any incoming war. Despite all ethnic and racial differences, the republic had to bring in an era of cooperation between the 3 racial populations that split up the nation. The republic started with no form of military until the formation of the National and Provincial guards during the newly established federation. They are the Coast Guard, the Federal Guard, the Local Guard, and the Republic's Guard. The Federal and Coast Guard act as the nation's army and navy. The Local Guard act as a militarized police force within their local province, capable of bringing peace to their respective communities as well as a regulatory inspected militia. Then there's the Republic's Guard, the nation's new air force, it is amongst the most significant and important aspects to the nation's defense, as the nation lacks the natural defense besides its hills and forests. For now, peace has been established for the small republic across its territories and provinces.

The G.S. Bountiful Sea makes it's landing on what is now known as Founders' Docks. The Colony of Bramsea is established w/a population of 545. A hard winter strikes in the coming weeks, killing 50. Supplies from the ship (including the ship itself) are used to make proper shelters and armaments for colony residents. Those who did not survive the voyage are given proper burials and funerals. A protected colony is established by the end of the month. Feb. 1029 A.F. The first Marisalan legal document on record is drafted by Lord Edwin Brooks. This document, The Bramsea Charter, establishes the sovereignty of His Lordship as leader and protector of the colony and acknowledges the rights of The Faithful and The Proletariat. Fellow draftees include Fr. Petyr Willow, Winship Brooks, and Dr. Mathis Black. The document is ratified by the colony in a landslide vote of 495-0. Lord Brooks establishes an exploration party to go west and further chart the land of their nation. Additional instructions state that they are to act as emissaries to other nations. The party contains roughly 50 people. Daniel Lewis is born to Marcus and Sarah Lewis, becoming the first child born to colony residents. April 1029 A.F. Word reaches Lord Brooks that the exploration party entered the nation of Tara and Cambray on accident. While unpunished, the interaction helped to establish a border between the two nations. Two lakes were also discovered, named Hope and Providence (Respectively). Five of the party members return with news of another established colony by the exploration party at Lake Providence, with the colony taking the same name. Aug. 1029 A.F. The first crime in the country is committed. The murder of Lucy Potts of the Lake Providence Colony places both colonies under heavy political strain. At the time, The Bramsea Charter only provided laws for the colony of Bramsea and leaving Lord Brooks as the sole judiciary member. The crime resulted in the first trial in the country. The trial lasted for three days and the defendant, Caleb Potts was found guilty. As a result, The Bramsea Charter was amended to extend all legal authority to Lord Brooks, regardless of what colony or township the crime occurred in. This amendment set the stage for future political problems within the budding nation. Sept. 1029 A.F. As the population between the two colonies increases, so does crime. To purge the criminals, Lord Brooks orders them and their families to be deported throughout the territory en masse. The intent is that the offenders would die off in the wild. This plan backfired with the creation of the Lake Hope, Brooks Folly, Crow’s Landing, and Winchester colonies. Despite the deportation, the colonies now fall under Lord Brooks by virtue of The Bramsea Charter, angering the newly formed colonies. Lord Brook’s son, James Brooks marries Susan Hoff, officially establishing the first Lordly House in the nation. Fr. Petyr Willow is named the Bishop of Bramsea by Lord Brooks. The Bramsea Charter is amended once again to give him parochial and religious authority over the colonies. Nov. 1029 A.F. Several boats arrive, bringing new citizens, goods, and occupations to Bramsea and the budding nation. With the main colony itself almost full to bursting, there is no choice but to expand the colony. This decision destroys a portion of the farmland outside the colony but with ample food stores and help from Tara And Cambray, the colonies will survive the winter. Lord Brooks makes several more amendments to The Bramsea Charter. Most notable changes are the following: · Officially designating the colony grouping as a nation. Named Marisala, after Brooks deceased wife (Marisa). · Appointing Colony Governors to serve in his name in all colonies. · Establishing Founder’s Day (In which the anniversary of the founding of Bramsea and the nation is celebrated annually on Jan. 5). · Creating an official currency (the Notro) and flag. · Allowing the purchase of Lord/Lady titles for a fee. · Establishes the creation of defensive lawyers, law courts, and prosecutors in all colonies. · The colonies are officially designated cities/towns. Ironically, the governors had no jurisdiction in terms of the law and were expected to follow Lord Brooks laws and decisions. Dec. 1029 A.F. Lord Brooks officially declares taxes on all perishable goods moving within the nation. This sparks protests from national farmers and forces Lord Brooks to create a moderately sized army. The army is quickly disbanded after the protesters scatter but has proved that the nation is vulnerable to civil war and has begun to expose political issues. Brooks introduces a new method to pass laws in order to assuage angry political protestors. The process is simply introducing the law to the Marisala Bar and allow it to be voted on by a Governor. If a majority of the six governors approve, the law is passed. After approval from his inner council, Brooks introduces The Conscription Act as a test law. Briefly, all male Marisalan citizens between the ages of 18-25 must serve a minimum of two years in a hastily formed National Army. The law is approved with a vote of 5-2. Those with prior military service are called to serve as commanders and enlisted leaders. The result is the creation of small forts and barracks outside the cities. It should be noted that despite the governor’s votes, most Marisalan citizens were against the mandatory conscription. Jan. 1030 A.F. The first Founder’s Day is celebrated across the nation. Construction of The Cathedral of Our Lady of Great Help in Bramsea begins. Lord Brooks also orders construction to begin on his private residence (now known as Bramsea Palace). June 1030 A.F. Susan Brooks, wife of The Honorable James Brooks, gives birth to twin sons. There are now five additional Lordly Houses established: House Kent of Lake Providence, House Deanbury of Brook’s Folly, House Chichester of Crow’s Landing, House Brough of Winchester, and House Cloddagh of Lake Hope. Construction of The Cathedral of Our Lady of Great Help is complete and Bsp. Willow is installed as rector. Lord Brooks approves the construction of various churches and temples across the nation. Brooks also approves of the construction of Bamney Religious Seminary and a small town around it. Citizens flock to the newly built town. July 1030 A.F. Construction on Lord Brooks’ private residence is completed. The building is named Founder’s Landing. Nov. 1030 A.F. Construction on Bamney Religious Seminary in the town of the same name is completed. The first class of seminarians is admitted later that month. Dec. 1030 A.F. To decrease government debts, Lord Brooks institutes a flat sales tax of 7%. Lord Brooks health begins to fail and his son, Hon. James Brooks, prepares to take his place. Days before the new year, Bsp. Willow complains of displays of public drunkenness. Hon. Brooks then introduces the Alcohol Reduction Act. The introduction of the act sparks outrage from all cities and towns and thousands of citizens turn out in protest in front of the governor’s residences. The National Army is called in to hold back the crowds. Only minor injuries are reported, and the act fails to pass after 3 days of a tied vote of 3-3. Aug. 1031 A.F Both Lord Edwin Brooks and Gov. George Hartman of Lake Providence die of natural causes. Hon. James Brooks inherits his father’s title and installs Prosecuting Attorney James Banks as Lake Providence Governor. Lord James Brooks also inherits all administrative and executive actions of his father through The Bramsea Charter. (WIP)
