The Nation of Siberia
Formed beside the beautiful land of Russia, Siberia is located by the East Siberian Sea, on the frosty plains of the Taymyr Penninsula where Habstrakkt and Zaroquen first founded Kheta in early 2019.
History
The Dawn of Siberia
A very brief history of real and canon (EMC) events.
Throughout history, Siberia has largely been inhabited by the indigenous peoples and not ruled by foreign powers. However, around 1200, Genghis Khan's forces successfully moved into southern Siberia, but it wasnt until the late 13th century that 'The Golden Hoarde' colonised central and eastern Siberia.
During this time, between the 7th-13th centuries, theVolga Bulgaria state was formed. Located in southern Russia was a large Bulgarian state that controlled the areas of Volga and Kama River. In our history, EarthMC Siberia was formed from these Mongolian and Bulgarian colonists, but remains completely independent from both nations.
The Flee from Bulgaria
EMC events, early 2019.
After the months of building and renovation done in Turnovo, the Bulgarian capital, Councillors Zaroquen and Habstrakkt became restless and dismayed at the inactivity of Bulgaria. After great deliberation between Bulgarian leaders, it was agreed to form a nation on uninhabited territory; to raise a new country to victory, carry on the truth of Fixodoxy and further Bulgaria's glorious name...
This new land was Siberia.
The Golden Age
Some time had passed since Siberia was founded; Habstrakkt passed the throne onto Zaroquen, Katyryk became Siberia's capital, and Zaroquen married the Bulgarian Tsar SimonTheCrafter.
The Khatun's reign has been the longest and most productive in Siberia's history; she formed 16 towns, created a commercial empire across the globe, had four royal heirs with her beloved husband Tsar SimonTheCrafter1 and lead Siberia in the Asian alliance The House of Uesugi. This time was peaceful and prosperous. Beautiful towns were being formed across the east and more Bulgarians came to lead including Duke Dakoko (Kheta), her son Prince Cheeseknife (Gremyashchy) and daughter Princess Emmii.
The Crafter Dynasty
On 27/04/2019, dynasty founder and Khatun Zaroquen's spouse SimonTheCrafter's player data was deleted. This caused a great wail of grief in Siberia and Bulgaria, leaving their son Xanther_Prime to take the Bulgarian throne. His funeral was a few days later and Zaroquen remains a widow.
