LATE 129 MY:
The flag is put in use on military uniforms and expeditionary forces. It combines elements of both kingdoms but is predominately Maxtopian, particularly in its main colour.

130 MY:
With the new flag in use, soldiers, expeditionary forces, and citizens using the flag of Maexanteum no longer go missing when traveling through the Great Mountains as the gods who inhabited it no longer think they are attacking forces.

131 MY:
The last member of the Royal Convoy of the Emperor’s mother who discovered the Holy City of Ulma Vriska, and thus were able to perfectly understand the texts has died. Leading to another minor dark age for potential relations to be restored with Ulma Vriska, before they even began. As the old court of the queen was thrown out during the civil war and thus all expeditionary forces to travel to the city either lost or out of political life.

132 MY:
Emperor Maximilianus demands access to the Maxtopian Vault, which remains heavily defended by defectors who swore an oath of loyalty to the old Queen and her heir. Maximilianus knows that if he burned them out, it could potentially send his new empire into a dark age of knowledge as the vault held all of the knowledge Maxtopia was collecting since it’s founding.

New Flag:45.9%

133 MY:Maexanteum declares war on Blackacre and weeks later Blackacre is overrun and annexed

135 MY:After the fall of Blackacre their former lands are discovered to be rich with resources and with these resources the economy of Maexanteum soars. With this massive economic boom, scholars head to Imperius Maexiatropolis, beginning a golden age of philosophy and art in Maexanteum

136 MY:
After literal years of seiging, the defectors have all starved to death and the Maxtopia vault is now able to be accessed. With most of its contents remaining intact except for a hole leading to the surface and an entire section of the vault labeled “Nekojimonia” having absolutely nothing in it save for one map on the floor. This map showing portions of the remains uncharted parts of The Great Mountains with an X on it, and “here” written in the Queen’s handwriting.

139 MY:Maximilianus's wife Flourentia gives birth to a son Crown Prince Faelixeus

Late 139 MY: A coastal merchant accidentally stumbles upon a shipwreck of unusual size while at sea. He immediately sends another vessel to intercept the wreck.

(OOC: is this like a “weak” fantasy - a few portions of FanT like races - or is there fullblown magic?)

147 MY:Emperor Maximilianus in an effort to make administration and trade easier as well as to further expand his territory, sent in troops to take the unclaimed tribal lands between the empire's ports and territories.

150MY : The Emperor Maximilianus make a scandal after his marriage with the Queen Nastoria following the death of Flourentia.

151 MY:
All nations the Knights of Coin were in contact with, many of them unknown to Maxtopia, begin to join in a coalition as the vast amount of territory that Maxtopia took nearly doubled their total size. And in such a short timespan it would send ripples down to many many nations.
Should Maxtopia expand any more, a War is ensured.
In fact, a threat was made against Maxtopia

(honestly I'm not happy with how the whole Maximilian thing went, he should've just became king and the story progressed normally, instead he started his own nation and annexed Maxtopia
a peace treaty or something could've happened but no
it kind of angers me to a degree
but who am I to decide I guess)

OOC:I think the reason behind why Maximilian was denied the throne originally was because she knew of his expansionist ambitions

OOC: Why not expand the coalition and cause Max to abdicate while blowing up Maxtopia to its original size?

OOC: it’s on the weaker end, with some spirits and shit thrown in. The fantasty species has a lot, and I mean a lot, of spirits protecting them

OOC:I think the reason behind why Maximilian was denied the throne originally was because she knew of his expansionist ambitions

OOC: This plays niceless into the coalition idea, he could technically ruin Maxtopia and this coalition is evidence of that

Late 150 MY-151 MY (during the previous posts):

Durin Nachbar, a tribal nationalist, quietly began to draw support for a revolution lead by the tribes which were in response to the aggression against their ancient homelands and forceful incorporation into the kingdom. Nachbar has promised other nationalists from different tribes that they could all collaborate as separate sovereign states after they commit regicide.

152 MY:
The tribes are formally invited to The Grand Coalition against Maxtopia. The coalition also seems to have keen interests in Maximilianus’ sister back on the throne as a potential “puppet monarch” or at least one which won’t start all these wars.

Late 152 MY:Maximilianus realizing the threat of this coalition, decides to not declare any wars for the time being and instead focuses on increasing not only his military's size and power, but also on funding the arts and sciences

153 MY:Maximilianus and his top military advisors begin working out a strategic plan if a war were to occur. Meanwhile Maexanteum begins opening diplomatic relations with the members of the coalition

Late 152 MY:

The tribes, now calling themselves the Federation, agree to ally themselves with the Coalition on the terms that they would remain free and self-determined. While Nachbar is still somewhat distrustful of the Coalition, and thinks they might attempt to take away the sovereignty of the states of the Federation, but recognizes that they will be a powerful ally.

153 MY:

The wreck off the coast has been meticulously searched. The merchant, named Baris Charington, found that a huge stash of wealth and mysterious clear crystals on board. Nothing of their kind had ever been seen before.

(OOC: I’m thinking diamonds, but if they’ve been found already I’ll make sure to edit and replace with emeralds.)

154 MY:In order to hopefully decrease the empire's unrest, Emperor Maximilianus declares the creation of the Imperial Senate, A council of democratically elected representatives called "Senators" to make laws

154 MY:
The Grand Coalition sends an ultimatum to Maxtopia to stop expanding into lands claimed by The Federation or it will be perceived as an act of war.

Kalaascovy wrote:The Grand Coalition sends an ultimatum to Maxtopia to stop expanding into lands claimed by The Federation or it will be perceived as an act of war.

155 MY:Maximilianus Agrees to the Ultamatum and makes an oath to stop Maexanteum's expansion

Late 155 MY: Following Maximilianus’ agreement, the states of the Federation declare sovereignty.
They are as follows:
The Schönwetter Kingdom, led by King Durin Nachtbar
The Allesrundes Duchy, led by Duke Hans Allesrundes
The Springenvögel Kingdom, led by Wolfgang von Strücker
...among several much smaller city states

156 MY: The Grand Colition remains intact, but a naval based island nation the Order of Coin traded with is thinking about pulling out of the coalition due to its insufficient army, which is inadequately funded in comparison to its navy.
157 MY: an agreement by most major powers in the Grand Coalition is met. Should Maxtopia restrict expansion for the next 20 years and restore the Order of Coin (technically it could be a puppet ), the coalition will disband after those 20 years and will not expand its size nor declare war any time soon against Maxtopia in the meantime.

157 MY:
Word of the new succession worries many leaders in the Grand Coalition as they do not know what the little “brat” is up to
