History
Alpine Gaul
Bern was founded as Alpine Gaul in the alps, at the present-day Bern mountain enclave. The mayor expanded the town to a large extent, with a giant hollow claim in the alps. Eventually, they decided to begin claiming north of the alps. The claims north of the alps were filled in.
Expulsion from France
May
In early May, the town, now named Romandy, was kicked out of France by King Cragno I. Romandy remained out of a nation.
Removal of Alps hollowclaim
The hollow claim in Bern was removed after the nation of Switzerland reported it for blocking their ability to expand.
French Revolution
Paris suffered a massive grief by a player named Mocc. The Eiffel tower was destroyed and the Louvre raided. This set in motion a divide in the nation of France, one that's tied closely to Switzerland and in turn Bern..
Following the grief, King Cragno abdicated and took a back stage on EMC politics. Cactusinapumpkin was made the new King. This made way for a potential re-entry of Bern (Romandy) into France as Judy's political allies lobbied for him.
Re-Entry Vote
The vote for Bern, then Romandy, was created by the mayor of the French city Lyon.
Operation Rampjaar
From the chaos, a group calling itself "Operation Rampjaar" formed between many prominent French members that supported Romandy's re-entry. Some of its members included: Fmr King Barvaux I, LogantheProdigy, Thanamos, Judge__Judy, and Lamye. Its goals were to replace King Cactusinapumpkin and to get rid of Mikey, Benja, and Sambor_P. Rampjaar members drafted an ultimatum to Benja, Mikey, and Cactus; prominent members of the French government.
Ultimatum Refused and 10 Days of War
When the ultimatum was sent, its recipients refused. This begun the secession of separatist towns and the beginning of the First French Civil War. The separatists, known as the Royalists weren't planning on owning a nation, allowing them to fight the civil war without the intervention of the Coalition of Europe and Germany.
Battle of Zurich (Swiss Capital)
Meanwhile, Germany and Switzerland were still at odds with Judy. In a smart move, Romandy joined Britain right after Germany violated a border treaty with them. With the help of Angloist, mayor of Dublin, a battle was started at the border between the Swiss capital and Romandy. The next day, Britain and Germany managed to fix the border situation so Romandy left the nation, thanking them for their hospitality. . EchoOcelot, the mayor of the German town in British claims who started the conflict; and Angloist, the British mayor that helped Judy start the battle, will be glorified in Bern via its buildings.
