Ulm (Classic): Difference between revisions

The principality of Ulm's first conflict would be with their sister town in Germany, Munich. After seizing the sword "This Machine Kills Communists" of paperpikmin and distributing it to the state, paperpikmin declared war on Munich for the transgression. The first battle occurred within the town of Munich itself, with a flood of Snowfugees being levied at 73beetle, leading to the mass snowing of Munich. A peace treaty was eventually signed, ending the first Estate War, wherein the sword would be returned to paperpikmin and the Snowfugees would in turn stop being granted access. The second war began when 73beetle seized the estate of paperpikmin in Munich after a disagreement. This led to two battles. The first was the Battle of Munich, wherein paperpikmin used access in the Munich Times HQ to launch aquatic bombardments on Munich, as a light form of attack. The retaliation was the continued confiscation of the estate and distribution of paperpikmin's wealth within it. This led to the Battle of The Elbe River, wherein paperpikmin launched bombardments on Munich for their continued illegal confiscation. The result initially was stalemate, however soon after a peace treaty was signed returning the estate in return for the land to be repaired.

Penguinia, Ulm's Antarctican outpost, was established as a Kingdom after ArizTrad settled the freezing steppe. The colony quickly became a town of it's own, and with the arrival of colonist wolfbj, the region looked like an entirely independent town. However, the colony functioned as a direct part of Ulm. The principality of Ulm and King ArizTrad made an agreement, wherein in return for all gold spent claiming (48) Penguinia would be granted independence as a vassal of Ulm. This effectively makes them sovereign, but still under the Ulm principality. The Kingdom quickly became the gem of Antarctica, establishing beautiful farms and homes in the icy tundra. The vassalage of the town was questioned by several other people, especially when they joined a different nation, Connecticut, then Ulm, Nazi Germany. Ulm however asserts authority over the town as a vassal, and instead says that they are the only town to be in two nations, Nazi Germany and Connecticut. This makes Ulm even more unique. The future of the Kingdom of Penguinia is unknown, on whether they will attempt to gain independence, or remain a loyal vassal.

The principality after this affair entered a time of peace and growth. Many new buildings, such as the Quarters, Bar, and second Munich Times HQ were finished. The construction of the second Ulm end grinder, one to specialize on xp, has also finished. The town of Munich has also officially joined the principality of Ulm in vassalage, becoming the second town to do so. This is far more a symbolic act, however, as little to no authority can be brought over the larger town of Munich.

Ulm is a democratic principality under the Holy Roman Empire. The prince of Ulm is paperpikmin, however the position of Chancellor, the official governing head of Ulm, is elected Monthly, with political parties running for the position. Ulm is under the Holy Roman Empire as well, however the Empire is generally unused, and as such the acting emperor is disputed. The town resides in Nazi Germany, which is currently undergoing political reform. The town functions as one of the three main administrative capitals of the nation, with Hamburg being the main capital, and Munich being the third capital.

The principality also has possesion of numerous subjects, including the Kingdom of Penguinia, and the town of Munich. The vassals under Ulm experience almost no rules or authority, with the only conditions being that they are vassal in name, and respect Ulm laws.
