Republic Of Aveline

The Republic of Aveline was founded by DylanSenpai, the Nation's first Chancellor. It is based on a combination of the characteristics of Medieval France, Revolutionary France and pre-WW1 French society. The capital of the First Republic was Averdeen, until internal turmoil led to it being razed and lost to the next generation of Avelineans until a war with the People's Republic of Kerkida much later. Averdeen is the only city as of now that has its origins in the Airship Pirates storyline. Averdeen is the city that the Kingdom of Lanier decimated with the first White Missile. The current capital of the Republic is Champs Fleurs, also known as the 'City of Flowers' and the 'Pearl of the East'.

A Rocky Start
The young republic began with a meteoric rise, gaining two main foes along the way: Synderia, and the Serene Republic of Elyra (SRE). After rising financially and accumulating almost 45 members, a surprise attack on Synderia which saw their leader's ship captured by the Chancellor, DylanSenpai and Teneberg bombed by the Vice-Chancellor, Skunky, led to the Imperium Argentum blockading Averdeen, making the Avelinians pay for the damages. High Capal Lati brought ships and fighters to Averdeen, where, they were attacked by the pirate, Walt, using a razor. Eventually, Chancellor DylanSenpai decided to give Synderia the cargo from the ship that was shot down, and some money, and be neutral towards Synderia, who later became allies. The SRE also became allies after a while, though relations between Aveline and the SRE would sour again soon after.

The First Election
In order to be as unbiased as possible about this particular part of the article, I will try my best to express both points of view. I apologize if I do seem biased about this subject because I was involved in it.

Background Information:
A Chancellor serves a 2 month long term in the Republic of Aveline, and when the nation was 2 months old, an election was held. Skunky won the election, and was named the 2nd Chancellor of Aveline. However, the young nation was not ready for change, and chaos ensued, ALMOST resulting in a civil war.

The ACI's Perspective
The ACI, or Aveline Confederacy for Independence was the name of the group that was lead by DylanSenpai, the 1st chancellor. He spoke to the vice-chancellor about certain rumors, and expressed an opinion, leading to his removal from the nation that he had founded. Many were angered by this act. GoldEngineer even threatened to leave the nation(although he couln't because of a month long ban). However, Dylan controlled the airspace of Aveline, and locked out parliament members. He used the land as leverage, even threatening to sell it(although this was an empty threat. He declined all offers to purchase the city). He resorted to this measure only after the election, which was held by TheSilverPremier, lasted for only seven hours, resulting in most of his supporters (including himself) being unable to cast a vote at all. Less than one-quarter of the nation got to vote in the election.

The Parliament's Perspective
Skunky, the parliament, and their business partner ConceptEagle disagreed with the rumors that Dylan spoke with the vice-chancellor(KnownUnown) about. They wished to stop these rumors from spreading, so they exiled Dylan. Then, Dylan made his threats to sell the city, and the parliament did not know that he was bluffing. They eventually let him back into the nation, in fear of losing the capital.

The Resolution
In the end, Dylan returned to the republic, but left soon afterwards to join the Imperium Argentum with his close acquaintance, Spedius. Dylan returned the city of Averdeen to the Avelineans on the condition that KnownUnown would be named Chancellor, not Skunky. The Vice Chancellor, KnownUknown, was named Chancellor, and peace was restored for about a week. However, the Avelinian population dropped. Refugees of the conflict have been found in many other factions, like the Vortek Sovereignty, the Imperium Argentum. Then, months afterwards, KnownUnown named GI0K Chancellor and chaos followed.

Chaos
Many people did not agree with Gi0K's new ideas, mainly a new tax he had imposed. He stripped everyone of their ranks, and re-selected officers of parliament. His short reign was characterized by complete tyranny and totalitarianism. This ensured that only his supporters would have any power. Eventually, the old Parliament, as well as the MAGA (Make Aveline Great Again - A popular joke name of the ACI) peacefully revolted against GI0K's reign. GI0K decided to offer the position of leader to KnownUnown, but before KnownUnown could accept, DusNathan was tricked into changing faction permissions that allowed Yara13, Gi0K's alternate account (although many theorize Yara to be GI0K's alt) to disband the faction.

Recovery and a Second Fall
After reforming, many of Aveline's former members had already left. ArdousAssasin, richcraft13, and swordswinger89 would take the city of Vistarion with them. Eventually, members continued to leave for other factions, many of them joining Atil, and Aveline was disbanded for being too small.

PRA
After the disbanding of Aveline, Atil was formed by DylanSenpai, who also founded Aveline. The majority of the new Atilians were Avelinians, so Atil was renamed as the PRA, or the People's Republic of Aveline.

Restoration of the Republic
Atil and Aveline co-existed for a time, however immediately as it was made many of the old Avelineans that fled to other nations rejoined DylanSenpai, now known as _SovietUn10n, in the Atil Expanse. Atil was subject to a brief and uneventful war waged upon them by the now dying Aveline, and as soon as Aveline died, Atil took their name and declared the PRA.

About one month after the PRA was declared, they stripped themselves of the 'P' and became the (Third) Aveline Republic.The old aide of the Parliament of Skunky and KnownUnown, ConceptEagle, made relations with the Imperium Argentum difficult for the once-again fledgling Republic, now based out of the city of Redfort, and this led to them being drawn into the sphere of influence of the SHSF. Redfort began to grow, and the new Parliament decided, in November of 2017, that they needed a new capital city, and so Champs Fleurs was designed by Brunn_ and commissioned by the Parliament. Progress on this city is still ongoing, however it features an enormous originally designed Eiffel Tower, large boulevards and arches, a cathedral designed by Brunn based on the Notre Dame, and many townhouses based off of real ones in France, after Brunn visited the country and then got to work replicating what he saw there.

The Republic began to accumulate a vast wealth of members and capital, expanding further to obtain the Fort de l'Aster, the Citadel- a former SHSF base, Bastion, Averdeen (only the siege airspace), Firania, Kennallis and for a brief time, Lorave and Anatra. Following their accumulation of wealth and power, the nation began to wage many wars, it was frequently leading assaults on pirate bases in the far-South and annihilating them at every opportunity. The cities of Aerie-on-the-Isle, Emerald Bay, Trindon and Fillanel would all eventually fall to the Republic and her allies. Aveline was the third-richest nation in the world during this time, and the Chancellor, Yerfi, became one of the most-feared pilots of all time.

Following an almost two-year period of constant war, the people of the Republic were exhausted, but their ally, the SHSF, had been subject to a war they did not declare, and so, the Republic was drawn into the longest war of them all by being a member of the Old Alliance. It proved too much for the Republic to bear, they were pushed to the brink of exhaustion and after many of their most senior members and leaders left the server, the leaders, Yerfi and _SovietUn10n quit the server together and transferred all their assets, including the now obviously dying Republic, to YourPalNova. After many months, both Yerfi and _SovietUn10n have been seen playing on the server again regularly.
