Nova:Intermarium

Description

The Nation of Baltoslavia was formed on November 16 by monarch ScaryDragon_ after months of planning previously. It’s aim was to create a strong Eastern Europe, unlike those on EarthMC Classic (exept russia... that went well). Within days, the major towns of Riga, Tallin, Minsk and Odessa were secured and claimed, however Kiev was lost to a newer player as the planned mayor had resigned from the Baltoslavia position. It’s rough claims include Belarus, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine (although Ukraine is considered a “duel-territory“ shared with Byzantium.) It’s population currently stands around 40 residents and towns spread around Eastern Europe.

History

Pre-Creation

Days before the official release of Terra Nova, during the Donator Early Access period, Minsk was created. This was followed by Riga, Kaunas and many others. After reaching 300 gold a week and a half later, Scary took a loan of 212g to complete the nation faster after towns began to demand the nation to be established. This move connected the independent network of towns around the area into one strong nation.

Kiev and the Ukrainian Dispute

While the nation was being created, many independent towns in the irl borders of Ukraine had begun to pop up. Many had joined Byzantium, causing a sudden majority of Byzantium towns in the area. Byzantium had become a dominant power in Ukraine. After rumours spread Kiev planned a “Kievan Rus” nation, spreading over Eastern Europe, negotitations began with Byzantium, who planned on backing Kiev. A proposal, allowing a joint vassal state status to be granted to a Kievan Rus Empire was rejected by the mayor, who went inactive days later. Tensions between Baltoslavia and Byzantium calmed and Ukraine was agreed to be a shared territory.

Baltic Rebellion

Kikoko_2, a citizen of Riga and a nationlist had been anti-Baltislavia from the start, and along with some other towns planned independence. This plot was revealed and a brief conflict began between Kikoko and Duesen and much of the southern towns. Kikoko, the soon to be Riga mayor, demanded Latvia be “free”, using support from what he claimed were his “many allies”. Duesen decided to stay with Baltoslavia, making Kikoko decide to back down. Secretly, however, he was attempting to make as many allies as possible to combat Baltoslavia. Before he could declare independence again, however, he was permanently banned from EarthMC over using hacks (it was either speed or xray I can’t remember).

NATO

After the conflict over Ukraine earlier, it was decided to repare relations with Byzantium by joining their new alliance ”NATO”. It soon supported the declaration of war on ISIS and the crusades began.

Romanian Revolutionary War

After a skirmish on the Romanian border, Romania declared war on Baltoslavia. After contacting enemies of Heat, such as Dukasv, Bulgaria and Poland, an invasion was planned, toppling Heat from the control of Romania. He was eventually allowed back into the nation, but Dukasv remained in official control.

Government

Baltoslavia is a monarchy with elements of democracy. Two groups of advisors, the Royal Council, and the People’s Senate vote on issues to be addressed. The Royal Council is made up of trusted, permanent advisors, while the Senate has an elected representative from each province.

Baltoslavian Military

The Baltoslavian Royal Military has been deployed twice in its history, during the invasion of Romania and briefly during the Ukrainian Disputes.

It changes a lot, currently led by a few experienced fighters who have participated in some old invasions.

Architecture

(I’m not sure what to write here, so I did it on infrastructure. The whole nation is super proud of how this turned out so I hope it’s ok to write)

The Baltoslavian Canal network is a very large network of underground canals, connecting most towns in Baltoslavia. The largest tunnel, the Capital Canal, allows boats to pass underneath Eastern Europe from Riga to Odesa, via Minsk. Many future extensions of the project include tunnels into Russia, and south towards Byzantium.
