The Founding
Invictus was founded upon the ruins of Rome by Rome's original founder Stevius Blockius on July 24, 2021. Invictus subsequently joined the F.C.A. after negotiating with neighboring Redwood. Stevius Blockius continued and finished contruction on Rome's citadel.

Smoke On The Horizon
Invictus's parent nation the F.C.A. divided into 2 separate nations: the F.C.A. (Federation Of Arith) and the K.O.A. (Kingdom Of Arith). As Invictus was a member of the F.C.A. it feared involvement in a continental war. The Invictan council decided upon separating from the F.O.A.

A World On Fire
On August 19, 2021, the southern nation of Elyria declared war on the F.C.A., but Invictus managed to stay unparticipant during the war. Emporer ShermansWorld of Elyria offered to spare Invictus of attack if they left the domain of the F.C.A. SteviusBlockius agreed. On August 28, Elyria laid siege to the F.O.A. capital Hightide as the nation was sent into turmoil. Invictus left the F.C.A. and prevented Elyrian attack. Invictus was in good relations with Elyria.

Unity-Luton
Invictus joined the nation of Unity-Luton, a union of Unitatis and Sun Harvest, who went on to declare war on the northern nation Pyrria. Invictus's own Stevius Blockius participated in the war. Pyrria employed the use of Elyrian mercenaries who ultimately turned the tides of the war. It resulted in a final stand at the fortress of Sun Harvest, Stevius being removed from combat after suffering injurys on the battle field. Sun Harvest surrendered. The forces of Unitatis retreated back, only to be sieged by Pyrria again. Invictus left Unity-Luton shortly after. Invictus joined the nation The Empire for a time, but left after realizing flaws in its government such as the government itself. Invictus rejoined Unitatis's nation, now renamed Encavia, which was now a growing world superpower at this time. Invictus is now the capital of the former Encavia Empire, now renamed to the Invicta Empire.
