=== History ===

==== The Beginning ====

The name Lucredia was first used in an ancient empire for a sub-kingdom, which was identicallysimilarly experienced in science and culture as the capital. TheIts peopleinhabitants never really believed in a religion, and so the dominant religionreligious backcommunity thenlabelled startedthem calling itas "unholy lands" and "an homage ofto evil".

As years have passed, under the rule of the 47th King calledking Lenadea den Criel, the Kingdom broke free from the falling Empireempire and managed to stay in peace for an estimated 500 years. SuddenlyThe long peace was broken, when the Church startedinitiated crusades against the Kingdom, asdeclaring its being seen asthem an enemy of god withdue to their advanced culture and technology,. whichLucredia alsoclaimed ledvictory thanks to their victory with their 3three giant Magical Golems they still had obtained from thetheir days in the empire.

After thisthe warcrusades, several othersother attempts triedfollowed to destroy the Nation,Kingdom mostlyand toacquire get theits golems, including theirattempts cofrom the Kingdom's former co-vassals from the empire, which had to get rid of them due to the extremely high maintenance. One warof these wars was nearly lost, as 2two of the golems havehad been sabotaged and the 3rdthird beingwas inundergoing maintenance. But the war was still won. In all of the wars, Lucredia took little to no territory and mainly vassalized the other states to increase their own power and provide their riches to more people.

But as everything, all had come to an end. Afterafter nearly 1700 years of independence, freedom and civil rights, the first power -hungry and selfish King got elected. The 1385th Kingking called Bahamuth den Criel-Leoren of Lucredia pushed to annex most vassal states, withoutunaware seeingof the danger aheadconsequences. A cult praying toworshipping 7 gods, which was in a part of the new territory, saw this as an opportunity to gain higher popularity and started spreading within the nation with everyone noticing except the king. The dukes and senators tried to mobilize as much as possible to fend off the incoming threat, but failed miserably. One duke, known as Sebastion Lenadea ven Akuma-Criel Dominate (latin), died at the frontlines after killing an estimated amount of 4000 cultists, making him to one of the strongest soldiers of that time. But all hope was lost. Asas when the senate was holding a vote on deposing the King, the cultists burned the capital of Lucrona to the ground, removing any evidence that therea nation ever was a nationexisted. The NationKingdom collapsed soon after and many fled to a kingdomnation beyond the known world, in hopeshopeful to return one day be able to return.

One of thosethe people displaced was the son of Duke Sebastion Lenadea ven Akuma-Criel Dominate callednamed Valentinus Sebastion ven Akuma-Criel-Kommandena Dominate, who went with his mother to her birthplace beyond the known world. 2000 Yearsyears later, Knight Lucas Gerg Lenadea Sebastian vin Akuma-Criel Dominate decided to return, only to see a big shrine being built by the cult which destroyed the nation. He was sacrificed after being found. His brother then decided to remove all evidence, that they have the blood of the former King of Lucredia. After againan additional 2000 years, Knight Lukas Valentin Georg Johann Sebastian von Akuma Dominate got bored and decided to traveltravelled to the world of Alathra., looking for adventure. Once he arrived there, he felt a weird presence, so he decided to investigate itthe realm further. After some time, he got visions of his ancestors who marched this road as well for a reason unknown to him. Out of curiosity, he followed the path he had seen in his inner eye with the weird presence getting stronger and stronger as he marched. After months of travelling, he arrived on a lush island just offshore of ana peninsula. There, he saw exactly, what happenedhad heretaken place 4000 years ago and decided to make a halt here to try to find more information about the long dead nation of Lucredia. It didn't tookto ok long for him to realise that in theory he's is the heir to Lucredia and so he decided, to rebuild it as much as possible and dig up any old relics to restore them or recreate them.

=== Government =structure ==

Lucredia was and is a senatorial Monarchy, meaning that there's a senate and a chancellor to represent the people, but the leader still holds absolute authority over the nation as well as over the nobility, who controls the region.

==== CountDuke ====

The CountDuke Lukas Valentin Georg Johann Sebastian von Akuma Dominate has the absolute power over Lucredia and is the uncontested Rulerruler of the Nation. He draws all regional borders, holdholds the capital and is (currently) the only one allowed withinwith the nationpower to grant titles of nobility and military (except soldier).

The Right Hand Man is considered the uncontested heir to the CountyDuchy as long the current leader doesn't have aan childoffspring. He holdhas about the same rights as the CountDuke, but hemust hasbe toa bemember from theof nobility, have the trust of the Liege and be an active citizen.

The Chancellor is a Senator elected by the Senate to represent all people, be a figurehead and do Diplomaticdiplomatic discourse as well as talkingtalk to the people and tryingtry to fulfilfulfill the wishes of the masses.

The senate is made upconsists of 1one senator per city district (capital) orand 1one per countytown with more than 5 citizen. Their job is to listen to the people and hand wishes as well as information and opinions to the nobles or the Liege, but the Senate is seen as politically stronger than the Nobility, as it can depose a Liege withby a 100% accordance ofan allunanimous senatorsvote. ElseTheir theyduties dealalso withinclude planning infrastructure and innerstate political things in general andpolicies, sometimes handle somehandling diplomatic discourse, butalthough that's is mostly done by the Chancellor. To be eligible for the role as Senator, you may not be part of one of the military Organs of Lucredia or be in the Nobility.

In the Nobility, the traditional Titlestitles are being used. They are considered the region owners and can be a vassal of each other. Their freedom goes up to the extent, that the CountDuke let'slets regional and small international wars happen, as long it doesn't harm him or any important relations with other nations.

Once someone makes a town in the name of Lucredia, he'll will be considered a baron and will be given a bit of land surrounding the town. ifIf the town is already in a county or higher, it'll will automatically be assigned to it. Once a town is seen as established (5 citizen) the baron has to designate a senator and pay taxes to the capital, but how the money is earned will not be investigated.

People in charge of a district of the capital Lucrona hold the title of a knight. They are considered to have the same rights as barons have, but are still a lower rank. Outside the capital, baronsCounts and above are allowed to assign this role symbolically to those, who do great work, but can't be in the senate as the place is already taken/the town doesn't have enough people. If the Liege wishes, he may grant uncivilized land to a Knight to develop it.
