Kingdom of Ignis

Government
The Kingdom of Ignis is led by King Rizion XIV. While Rizion holds the power, his Council performs most of the tasks needed to keep the country going.

King
The first and current king of Ignis is King Jacob Helios Rizion XIV, 22 years old. When Ignis was still a colony of the Uvin Empire, he started Rizion Aeronautical Inc. (RAI), which produced and exported all the aircraft and aircraft parts that the Uvin Empire used at the time. When the Uvin Empire started to oppress the colonists, Rizion was the leading supporter of independence from Uvin. One day, during a peaceful protest against Uvin, when Rizion was speaking to the crowd, Uvin soldiers marched into the grounds and began firing on the unarmed protesters. Several of the protesters, including Rizion held off the soldiers using only pistols to protect the retreating crowd. During the incident, 30 people were killed and over 150 injured, including Rizion himself. Out of the 20 soldiers that attacked the protest, only 3 escaped with their lives, in order to warn the Uvin leaders what provoking the colonists would do. When the Colonial Congress voted to declare independence from Uvin, 14 of the 36 people who signed the declaration, including Rizion, signed it in their own blood. The newly made Congress of Ignis appointed Rizion as the Commanding General of it's Military, with David Wylde the General of the Army, Christopher Alvalar the General of the Air Force, Daniel D. Zhaos the Admiral of the Navy, and Aaron Zero Admiral of the Marines. In the first battle of the War, Rizion personally led the Air Force to destroy all of it's enemies, crippling all of the Uvin Air Force that was in Ignis, and allowing the Ignis Army to take all of the airfields in Ignis without much resistance. In the first week of the war, the military of Ignis forced the Uvin military back to only have the northern section of the main island and several of the smaller Islands to the north. After the first push, the war bogged down and became a near stalemate. After the first year, however, the Uvin Air Force was nearly crippled due to the lack of new aircraft and parts. Since the Ignis Air Force was able to fly without resistance, the military was able to push the remaining Uvin military out of the country. The war, however, was not over. Over the next two years, the military of Ignis had to stave off several attempts at invasions, and finally set out to bomb the Uvin Empire into submission. In a final strategy, the combined Ignis Air Force and Navy sent many waves of bombers to Uvin over a period of 6 months. When the Uvin government still showed no signs of wanting to negotiate, Rizion ordered a single final air strike upon Uvin. Every operational aircraft in Ignis that could be outfitted to carry bombs was sent in several massive waves, returned to Ignis airfields, refitted and sent back over a period of one week. After the show of force, Uvin leaders met with Rizion and his Generals to negotiate a ceasefire. After the war, Rizion was elected to be the new King of Ignis.

Lost Language
During an expedition in April 2008 a research team from the Musha Marine College found ancient ruins that had been abandoned Hundreds of years ago underwater about 2 miles southwest of Musha.

After Uvin soldiers slaughtered peaceful protesters in Musha, the newly formed Ignis military waged a lightening war and pushed the Uvin military nearly off the islands, Uvin finally halting their advance. After the first push, the war bogged down and became a near stalemate. After the first year, however, the Uvin Air Force was nearly crippled due to the lack of new aircraft and parts. Since the Ignis Air Force was able to fly without resistance, the military was able to push the remaining Uvin military out of the country. The war, however, was not over. Over the next two years, the military of Ignis had to stave off several attempts at invasions, and finally set out to bomb the Uvin Empire into submission. In a final strategy, the combined Ignis Air Force and Navy sent many waves of bombers to Uvin over a period of 6 months. When the Uvin government still showed no signs of wanting to negotiate, Rizion ordered a single final air strike upon Uvin. Every operational aircraft in Ignis that could be outfitted to carry bombs was sent in several massive waves, returned to Ignis airfields, refitted and sent back over a period of one week. After the show of force, Uvin leaders met with Rizion and his Generals to negotiate a ceasefire.
