Fossore Republic

The Fossores Republic is a small country located near the coast on the westernmost content in Alathra. It's blocked from direct uncontrolled access to the sea by The Black Spades. The country sits along the Serpitian Sea and along one of the country's only rivers, the Serpent River. The capital of Mineopolis is located along the Serpent River and on the western coast of the Serpitian Sea. The country was founded by 4 ragtag players on 10th July, 2021. Their goal was to create a peaceful, fun-loving, trading nation, that would defend the heartland with all their might. The lands of Fossore were originally claimed by The Horizon League, but with sheer luck and some talking from the Fossores' Republic leader, StampymaxUSA (Also known as Flat Face), the land was secured and agreed upon. Their second closest neighboring town of Ezra and the Fossore Republic work closely with one another on projects that can benefit the whole continent. They hope to connect the whole continent one day with roads and tracks to help facilitate trade between countries and towns on the continent.

Mineopolis Massacre
On July 14, 2021, the city of Mineopolis was attacked unprovoked by TheAlphaDemon58. He killed nearly all of the citizens. They attacked him with all of their might and did nearly no damage. This might spark a bloody war between the Fossores Republic and The Black Spades.

Mineopolis Occupation
On July 15, 2021, at 4:00 PM CDT, two citizens from Mineopolis had a terrible idea to try to attack The Black Spades after their nation was disbanded. This lead to them retaliating and occupying the town for about 30 minutes. The leader of The Manchester Empire went to Mineopolis and tried to deescalate the situation. War was extremely close to occurring and back-up from multiple other nations was in-bound on Mineopolis to prepare to defend it. Peace talks were held shortly after to help resolve this situation entirely and avoid a bloody war.

Nabil Accords
On July 15, 2021, at 6:00 PM CDT the Nabil Accords were signed and 1 week of peace was declared.

The Golden Expansion
On July 19, 2021, Ezra joined the nation of Mineopolis and coming with it, its massive supplies of gold along with the land to the North. This date also marks the middle of Fossores' major and fast expansion on the continent. This marks Fossores as a Continental Super Power.

The Battle of Golden Palace
On July 20, 2021, Fossores got to test the strength of their newly organized military. At first, Megadalon was attacked by watchoftartarus (King of Faron) out of nowhere. watchoftartarus (Part of the FCA) attacked mega and right after he called up the military. Within 60 seconds, 4 soldiers arrived and within 5 minutes 12 soldiers arrived ready to fight for the republic! Only about 1/3 of the total Fossores Republic army arrived. We quickly pushed him out and overwhelmed him.

The Battle of New Reno
On July 22, 2021, citizens from Elyria started to attack the Fossore ally of the USA. The whole Fossores Republic military responded to this act of aggression. This was the first true battle that Fossores has fought. It was a long and hard battle with ups, downs, lefts, and rights, but we lost. The nation lost all of its gear. This set Fossores into a deep economic depression.

The Rebirth
On July 24, 2021, the grave economic depression has ended. The Manchester Empire fell and the territory was given to Fossores. Massive unseen growth of Fossores has never been seen in history. The country will make sure that this level of growth is continued. With the current level of growth, Fossores is on track to overtake Ashina in the population and development areas.

The Rise of the Ultraweathly
On July 25, 2021, the Fossores Republic is having a major expansion and this is causing some players to become ultra-wealthy. They control nearly 15% of the server's total wealth. This is partly due to the massive and uncontrolled neitherite mining industry in Fossores. Due to the tax policy in Fossores, almost none of their money goes towards the state to provide basic functions. This has caused an expansion in wealth in a few. This has caused mass inequality within the nation with only a couple of players controlling the majority of the wealth.

The Beograd Occupation & The Great Betrayal
On July 28, 2021, the leader of The Mandem Nation took the town of Beograd without consulting The Fossores Republic. This lead to an explosive increase in tensions among former allies. As Mandem annexed more Fossore land and negotiations broke down, it was highly suspected the emperor himself was planning an invasion of Fossore. To prevent this, The F.R.A. immediately sent in a strike team whos goal was to take out the power hungry despot of Nabilzahir and remove their weapons and armor. The strike occurred in the dead of night as a fighter squadron flew over the walls of Nabilzahir quietly taking control of key points along the walls. The rest of the strike team then located Megaladon and assassinated him taking his armory and forcing the deposed tyrant to flee to Elyria. It was here that Megaladon made his crucial mistake. Thinking he had stoked the flames of war between Elyria and Fossore he sold total control of his lands to the Elyrians, while not disclosing he was currently at war with Fossore. This proved to be a fatal flaw however, as Fossore had secretly signed an N.A.P. with Elyria a few days prior. After a diplomatic meeting with the Elyrians agreed to hand over all of the former Mandem Nations claims to Fossore for the price of $80,000. Megadalon was then forced to flee from Elyria and now roams the world of Alathra in exile and shame of his past. To much rejoice of the citizens of the former Mandem nation, the town of Beograd was reincorporated into Fossore, and the town of Nabilzahir was also incorporated as an equal standing town into the nation.

The Fossore Constitution
On July 29, 2021 with a unanimous vote from the people the Fossore Constitution was officially ratified as the sole founding political document of the Republic.

In this it has become more apparent, now than ever, that a constitution be ratified by the people for the people. In order to secure this virtuous land for all to enjoy in peace and prosperity.
