Old Beringia, officially The Majestic Empire of Old Beringia (Lithianese: Yei Epwire Mejestque o Beringia Ald), is a fascist absolute monarchy comprising five provinces in the South Beringian Sea. It spans the Beringian continent and the numerous archipelagos to the south. The Beringian continent is 2,166,086 km2 and home to nearly 2 billion people. The nation also presides over the Commonwealth of Grand Beringia and the Commonwealth of Bering Minor Islands, as well as numerous colonies and territories abroad. It possess various colonies and territories abroad including The Vespucci Isles, Tasa Bara, Locksfound and Makarov. It is a former member nation of the The Union of Roswarne and current member nation of Coalition of Armed Nations.
The Empire was created during the middle ages. One of the first civilizations to rise up out of the disease in uncivilized people. King Frank led the Order of the Krystal Knights against the Tastifanian Kingdom. With frequent raids on Tastifanian soil and final raid in which he set fire to all the Tastifanian farmland he crippled their ability to wage war. The final siege organized all of the knights of Beringia to sack the main settlement of Tastifania. Once done he salted the area which is the Tastifanian Reservation today. In doing so he unified the three provinces of Beringia. A constitution was created and Beringia became a constitutional Monarchy under King Frank. Nearly 100 years later Queen Krystal came along with a slough of ill decisions marking the beginning of a slow decline. Forty years later the Empire fell back into a period of feudalism.
The feudal period ended and the Empire rose again thanks to King Lux Lucis. He called upon the descendant of the original Krystal Knights and created the second Constitutional Monarchy. This lasted well into the 18th century and many of Beringia's greatest rulers lived during this time. Including Queen Brenda II, the first widely accepted Queen. Unlike Queen Krystal the populus actually identified her as the Queen. And unlike Queen Krystal's reign there was not a decline of the Kingdom after she left power, the kingdom actually prospered.
In the early modern age (19th century) kings and queens were fading and monarchies were a thing of the past. King Lux Lucis X decided to reform the Empire. He drafted a new democratic constitution and a few other bills for his successor to implement. The would be King Lux Lucis XI became President Oliver Truman. The democracy lasted until a coup by Xerxes Miller aided by Tastifanians reduced the empire to half it's borders. This lasted until the assassination of Baron Alex Winston II by Harry Cede who reinstated the Democracy and became the seventh president of Old Beringia. This peace lasted as Beringia reclaimed it's lost lands.
Following an anthrax gas attack on the capital, Paradise Heights, at the time most of the countries government was moved to makeshift basses in Frank City(Now Emerald City). The President, Forrest McGalvin was giving a speech to reassure the people and he later walked into the crowd shaking peoples hands kissing babies and such. The President shook Princep's hand and he pulled out a pistol with his left. In seconds a spray of blood emptied from the back of the Presidents head. He shoved the corpse of the former President into the crowd, people screaming and running. Simultaneously the Vice President was assassinated. Once the crowd dispersed from the field that was the signal to a patriot in a tower overlooking the park to start the process. Fifteen years of civil war ensued that one day.
Like always the nation rises out of the smoke and a new form of government was put into place by Imperator Brandon Miller, grandson of Xerxes Miller. The Absolute Monarchy in place has functioned perfectly up to today.

The Capital - Emerald City
Population: 37,391,881
Founded: 1522 (Frank City)
Province: Frankland
Demonym: Gem
Transportation: Emerald City Transit
Emerald City was the second official capital of Old Beringia and is located in the eastern plains of Old Beringia.
The old capital Paradise Heights was susceptible to frequent raids by the Tastifanians, earthquakes, and flooding now
controlled by the Grand Canal, stretching from the East Lewis River to Emerald City. It was named for the current
Empresses' maiden name Esmeraude, and the abundance of Emerald there when the city was founded. The capital building
is a towering glass and steel pyramid that lies in the center of the city, just north of SADM HQ and the national mall. The
capital and outlaying areas is home to nearly 22 million Beringians.

Important Historical Figures
King Frank led the Order of the Krystal Knights against the Tastifanian Kingdom. With frequent raids on Tastifanian soil and final raid in which he set fire to all the Tastifanian farmland he crippled their ability to wage war. The final siege organized all of the knights of Beringia to sack the main settlement of Tastifania. Once done he salted the area which is the Tastifanian Reservation today. In doing so he unified the three provinces of Beringia.
King Lux Lucis ended the feudal period in which the local lords held more power than the 72 kings that ruled during a fifty year period after the collapse of the constitutional monarchy set in place by King Frank. He reorganized the Order of the Krystal Knights, calling upon the descendants of the same knights that ended Tastifanian rule nearly two centuries earlier. He created the Second Constitutional Monarchy.
Queen Brenda II was the first widely accepted Queen. Unlike Queen Krystal the populus actually identified her as the Queen. And unlike Queen Krystal's reign there was not a decline of the Kingdom after she left power, the kingdom actually prospered.
President James Cloverfield was the father of the glorified Cloverfield pistol family which is still in use in the Berinigan military today.
Lord Xerses Miller was the eighth president of Beringia but after the Enabling Acts he became a monarch. Viceroy Alan Paige was the Vice President at the time and also his right hand man, helping him pass the Enabling Acts. Using a strong sense of nationalism glorifying the nations Krystal Knights both expanded the Empire to it's current size. Viceroy Alan Paige sanctioned a piece of land for Tastifanians and ruled over it while Lord Xerses Miller ruled over the rest of Beringia.
President Harry Cede staged a coup d'état in order to remove Baron Alex Von Winston II from power after the collapse of the democracy. The coup was planned by Harry Cede who later became the first President of Beringia's second democratic system. Harry Cede was the Barons chief adviser at the time and planned a parade in his honor commemorate a mock holiday that he also created. The parade was Harry's way of getting the Baron into the open and it was successful. He was killed by a sniper and a Democratic system was put in place. Harry was elected president and served a term of six years.
Baron Alex Von Winston II
A number of years ago a coup d'état was staged in order to remove Baron Alex Von Winston II from power after the collapse of the democracy. The coup was planned by Harry Cede who later became the first President of Old Beringia's second democratic system. Harry Cede was the Barons chief adviser at the time and planned a parade in his honor commemorate a mock holiday that he also created. The parade was Harry's way of getting the Baron into the open and it was successful. He was killed by a sniper and a Democratic system was put in place. Harry was elected president and served a term of six years.
Emperor Brandon Miller was the top General of the Beringian military when a terrorist attack on the nation by Tastifanians invoked a civil war. The war lasted for sixteen years and when it was over he declared himself Emperor.
Emperor Dux Ducis
The son of Lt. Col. Daniel Taylor and Cleopatra Taylor born in humble circumstances in the city of Concord, Old Beringia he started military training at the age of twelve, two years before most males started. He remained in the youth training corps until the age of 17 when a small gun fight in Charlotte turned into a full scale civil war that threatened the republic in place at the time. His training was immediately suspended and he joined the Imperial Beringian Armed Forces as a cavalryman. His father was killed later in the war at the battle of Emerald City and when the war made it north the Concord his mother was raped and murdered. Enraged by the loss of his mother and father to Tastifanians that started the war he worked his way up the ranks and eventually became a general changing his name to Dux Ducis. He halted the Tastifanian advance at Battery Park City and fought there for three weeks before numerous tanks arrived from Paradise Heights pushing the Tastifanians back. He fought along side Imperator Brandon Miller who after the war became the Emperor of Old Beringia. Following the previous Imperator's rise to power he was granted the title of Imperator or high commander of the Beringian Military. At the age of 30 he settled down in Paradise Heights where he met Alicia Esmeraude and later married her. When Emperor Brandon Miller died he ascended to the throne and became the Exalted Dux Ducis I at the age of 33 continuing the reconstruction of the East after the civil war and relocating Tastifanians to a reservation in the south west. He has remained the emperor of Old Beringia ever since.
