History
Full Article: History of Templuria

Creation and Independence
The nation of Greece was in a dire civil war and was plagued by harsh genocide. The old capital of Athens was no longer safe from the internal combat and strife of the country, so many citizens left. They founded a town that would keep them protected, New Athens. Many people sought refuge in the city. Life in New Athens was hard, but much safer than living in older parts of the nation.

New Athens became so successful that the Greek government forced heavy taxes on the growing city to fuel it's military. The city paid for many years, but eventually the people got weary of it's burden.

The city refused to pay any more taxes or tariffs to the Greek government. Greece sent a small military force south to forcibly collect the funds. However New Athens had gathered up a local militia and kept the invading troops at bay.

The Greek president at the time, Harmon Alegrio, did not wish to waste his troops on one small town when he was fighting his own battles, so he recalled his troops back to the front lines of the civil war and assumed that after he had resolved the war, he could easily retake New Athens. But he was wrong.

Many heard of the city's resistance and it gave hope to countless people. Migrants from all over Greece journeyed to New Athens for it's safety and glory. Eventually the rebel forces in the civil war, the Greek Freedom and Liberation Army of the People or GFLA, found shelter in the city and used it as a main base.

At last, President Alegrio was assassinated and the civil war ended. The GFLA took hold of the government and, due to their service, granted New Athens it's independence.

Establishment
The citizens of New Athens carried out a poll on how they though the government should be run. The majority of voters suggested a democratic republic. Over a year the goverment was set up, eventually creating the Republic of New Athens. on November 11, 2006. On that very day, the first presidential election was held.

Magnum T. Gundraw, a former general of the GFLA, was elected as the first president. His first act was to create a document to set the basic laws, principles, and rules of the city-state. This document would come to be known as The Constitution of Templuria later on. He revolutionized the buisness and government in New Athens along with establishing a real military, expanding borders, and increasing infrastracture.

The buisnesses and infrastracture in the city were doing quite well, but president Magnum considered that they could work much better. He slightly altered the financial system and changed the nation to capitalism. From then on, the country was know as The Capitalistic Republic of Templuria. The name Templuria was created from Magnum's middle name, Templur.

During the reign of Magnum's son, Colt Gundraw, another poll was taken, this time over what the national religion religion should be. With a 72.8% turnout, Islam became the official religion of Templuria.

End to the Darker Tomorrow Wars
Templuria's war with the Darker Tomorrow Alliance has finally ended in victory. The nations of New Artemis, the Lionskull Empire, and Domine Megas have been defeated by Templuria and it's allies at NPO.

The Politics of Templuria

New Athens
Full Article: New Athens

New Athens is the largest city (by population and size) and capital of Templuria. It is the birthplace of many Templurian presidents. It is the national center of business, finance, fashion, medicine, entertainment, media and culture in Templuria and is recognized around the world for it's fantastic monuments, historical landmarks, and clean environment.

Sanctum


The second largest city in Templuria is Sactum. The city is most famous for it's nightlife, it having many nightclubs, hotels, and resorts. It is also known for it's many beer breweries, which it ships all around the country.

The NPO
Templuria is a proud member of NPO and mantains a stable relationship with the alliance. Templuria has waged many wars in the name of NPO and plans to continue to do so. Templuria keeps itself within strict orders and decrees of NPO guidelines.

Mediterranea of Oceanica

 * (Not to be confused with Bisso of Oceanica, a newer nation)

The First War
Long ago the nation of Oceanica and it's alliance, The Mediterranean League, declared war on Templuria. Their terms were simple, join the League, or be attacked by all the nations in it. Templuria accepted and the war was over without a shot being fired.

Leaving the League (The Templurian War of Freedom)


When Templuria finally left the Mediterranean League, it was attacked by Mediterranea, ruler of the alliance. If Templuria won, it would have it's freedom from the League. If Oceanica won, Templuria would forever stay under the rule of The Mediterranean League. This started the Templurian Freedom War. After a long and bloody struggle, Templuria pulled out a slim victory with the nation of Oceanica admitting defeat. Other members of the Mediterranean League never attacked Templuria and instead congratulated the country.

Fade
The nation of Oceanica dissolved after being inactive for fifteen days. This day was forever known in Fading Day to Templuria and it is celebrated as a national holiday.

With the leader of their alliance gone, the member-nations slowly migrated to other alliances. To this day, they thank Templuria for it's help and say they owe it a great deal.

Blubba of New Artemis
Though both nations have only existed for short times, they have a long history with each other. The majority of this history is violent and full of conflict.

The Conflict
The conflicts between Templuria and New Artemis have all been about the same obsession. The occupation of Greece. Once Blubba, Dictator of New Artemis for life, saw that another nation had come out of the Greek Civil War, he immediately demanded an alliance or the threat of all out war. Templuria rejected the proposal and thus the First Templurian-New Artemis War began.

The First Templurian-New Artemis War


The First Templurian-New Artemis War started when the nation of New Artemis attacked Templuria. Only two battles (being the initial strikes in the war) were fought on Templurian soil. President Gundraw took swift action and invaded New Artemis the next day. Severe damages crushed the Artemisian economy and threw the country into anarchy. Blubba sent a letter of appology and begged for forgiveness, but none was given by Templuria and the war lasted until the bitter end. The final result of the war left New Artemis with -5 soldiers, 1.7 infrastracture, and 0 technology.

The War Fuel
In anarchy and financial problems, New Artemis was temporarily scarred internally and President Magnum though it was safe again. However, New Artemis recieved aid through bribery from the nations of Daimonas, Reike, and Hailstorm, who would later form an alliance with him, and quickly rose back to its former glory.

Many threats were launched by Blubba to President Magnum and eventually this culminated into another war.

The Second Templurian-New Artemis War


New Artemis recovered amazingly quickly and declared war on Templuria again as soon as they could, causing the Second Templurian-New Artemis War. Before the war, New Artemis had offered the struggling nation of Reike payment for it's services in war. Reike attacked Templuria the same day as New Artemis had. Heavy losses were caused on the Templurian side of the battlefield for several days.

The Templurian military forced the invaders out after five attacks in Templuria. Templuria proceeded to cripple the allied nations in their own homelands. Both enemy nations were plunged into anarchy and Templuria rose out of the war even stronger than ever.

The Ceasefire
After both countries were incapacitated by Templuria, all three nations signed the The Non-Aggression Ceasefire, a permanent (intented to be permanent, though it eventually was broken) treaty that none of the three undersigning nations would never go into war with one another again. The three nations agreed to the terms and the document was signed.

The Cold War
More insults and threats were launched by New Artemis than ever and relations between the two nations were becoming increasingly heated. A term of The Non-Aggression Ceasefire, that the countries would trade resources for diplomatic and economic ties, was broken, which increased the tension.

Templuria fully intended to break the treaty and launch a full assault on New Artemis, however the rival nation had made itself peaceful and war could no longer be declared.

But Blubba's nation began to suffer economically under the 'peace mode' it had placed itself in. Templuria knew New Artemis would eventually come out of peace mode and then an all out war would insue.

However, before Templuria attacked New Artemis, the two nations came to an agreement and New Artemis slipped back into 'war ableness' without a war.

Time of Peace
After the Cold War between the new nations finished, New Artemis experienced a rapid infrastracture and technological growth. Two days after the dispute had ended, New Artemis was vastly superior to Templuria in technology, infrastracture, and military. With an obvious lead many forms, Blubba formed an alliance for the sole purpose of getting back at Templuria for it's former threats.

The Creation of Darker Tomorrow


New Artemis was planning to crush Templuria permanently and formed an alliance for that very purpose. Old friends and allies allong with new ones joined. New Artemis immediately informed Templuria of their "coming demise."

Members of Dark Tomorrow Included:

New Artemis- (Founder and Leader; known as 'King Monday' after DT being formed on a Monday)

Domine Megas- (General)

Lionskull Empire- (General)

Hellsend- ('Official' Peacekeeper*)

Reike- (Aider and Backup General)

Daimonas- (Aider)

Hailstorm- (Aider)


 * Note that Hellsend never accepted his 'official title' nor used it's benefits.

The Darker Tomorrow Wars


On 12/9/2006, the Darker Tomorrow alliance attacked Templuria, causing 119 soldier casulties. The attackers were New Artemis, Domine Megas, and the Lionskull Empire. Six battles were held on Templurian soil, the most ever in a Templurian war.

The first attacks to occur were by the Lionskull Empire right after the update. They caused the most damage, weakening Templuria for the next two armies.

Templuria was thrown into anarchy for the second time in it's history and pleaded for help with the NPO. The NPO awarded several sets of aid and many nations lended troops to take out the Darker Tomorrow allies. The coalition of troops attacked every nation in the alliance and threw them into anarchy.

The aiders foolishly left their ability to wage war on and were forced out of action quickly before they had a chance to send aid to their clanmates. With help from Templuria, the NPO soldiers crushed the alliance and demanded it's disbanding. The Darker Tomorrow Dissolusion Act was agreed to, ending the wars and finally quelling the Templurian-New Artemisian Conflict.



The Aftermath


Anarchy, rebellion, and chaos insued after the Darker Tomorrow War and the government was fully overthrown. The dictator, Blubba, was executed by a firing squad of his own Royal Guard. Rampant gangs, massive poverty, great famine, water shortages, terrible pollution, violent religious zeal, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and public executions were all becoming commonplace in the territory former known as New Artemis. One could only guess the future of the declining territory, but many hoped it would be cared for in hands of Templuria.

Occupation of the New Artemis Territory
Drug trafficing from the former nation into Templuria had rapidly increased after the fall of the New Artemisian government. By Templurian law, drugs are only legal if proscribed by a fully liscenced doctor.

On December 27th 2006, Templurian troops invaded the New Artemis Territory. They were met with much resistance but managed to subdue and capture five major drug cartels. All drug shipment into Templuria had been halted and the streets were again drug-free.

Possible Annexation


A popular idea among Templurian politicians was the annexation of the New Artemis territory. However there was a debate as to if Templuria could support the declining territory and relieve it of it's poverty. The arguement still continues to this day.

Autonomous Status
Before annexing the territory, New Artemis was gifted an Autonomous Government, seperated from the Templurian Government. However the territory was still unable to run itself and the autonomous government collapsed and it regained its independent status. Eventually, this failure would lead to the New-Artemisian Civil War.

The New Artemisian Civil War


The New Artemisian Civil War as fought between the Appointed Army of New Artemis (AANA), allied with the armed forces of Templuria, and the People's Liberation Army of New Artemis (PLANA) in the New Artemis territory.

The AANA was the Templurian elected army for it's Autonomous Region of New Artemis. Upon creation, their only purpose was for the defense of the region. They were well armed with Templurian weapons and technology.

The PLANA were a weakly supplied rebel group whose main purpose was to prevent Templurian rule in New Artemis, autonomous or not. They wished to establish an independent country in the region, one that would continue the fight against Templuria as the original nation had.

The AANA and PLANA clashed many times during the civil war. The war began to turn bloody after the PLANA secured several low-grade tanks. Though outdated, the tanks caused massive damage to the AANA and caused numerous casulties. Then Templuria was forced to step in.

Throughout the whole war, Templuria had funded the AANA financially. However, with PLANA making such a death count, the militay began to act. Templurian bombers and tanks destroyed forts and bases belonging to their enemies, while cruise missiles took out the PLANA tanks.

Eventually Templuria left the war to AANA after aiding them with multiple defenses, including APCs, tanks, and helicopters. The war came to an end with the AANA being victorious.

The Commonwealth of New Artemis
After the civil war, President Glock Gundraw met with the political leader in charge of New Artemis. After many weeks of debates and arguements, the leaders finally came to a decision.

New Artemis could not become a state, but a commonwealth. Under the terms of the Commonwealth Pact, which both had agreed to and signed, New Artemis would have all the powers a regular state would, but would not pay income tax. In exchange for not paying tax, citizens living in the New Artemis Commonwealth are forbidden from voting anything more than a local official. (meaning they cannot vote for the president or senators)

After the announcement of New Artemis' commonwealth status and tax exemption, the area had a population boom. Police forces were distributed all around the commonwealth to insure previous crimes in the area would not be repeated.

Lord123 of Antarctic city
Unlike Templuria's dealings with New Artemis, the relationship with Antartic City is stable. The two, though in seperate alliances, often aid each other both in war and money.

Support
In many cases, the two countries have attacked the same target, bringing it down much easier. When one nation is devestated by anarchy, they help each other with money. This relationship keeps the two nations close.
