Epitome United - maps, call codes and overview
Thiese are the official maps of the 1st Epitome UnitedThe 1st Epitome was in the southeast of Europa and the northeast of Africa, with the border of those going through the region itself. To the northeast from this region on the other side of the Nostrumian Ocean lies The Black Hawks territory and beyond the southern deserts lies Lilliputia, while on the far west from the region is Maxtopia itself.
At the moment a canal cutting klocia in half joining the Epitomic Sea and the ocean has been finished. It was Funded by Mantesa, its upkeep though is splitted between Mantesa and Thialrer and it will be defended by the navy of Khazar lechia. The canal itself is administered by Mantesa while all of its soil and coast belongs to Thialrer at least within the borders of the nation. Khazar lechia does not claim any interest in administrating, owning or funding the canal beyond providing its navy.
After the canal has been finally finished, it became apparent that the entire construction changed the climate a lot as well as brought a bit more water into the Epitomic Sea, which instead of raising the water level created spontaneous humid raise around the region. As for now the change in climate seems to be for the better, allowing for the agricultural industries so prominent in the region to flurish, but Khazar lechia started building artificial islands, possibly leading to another change of climate...
Khazar lechia created an artificial island very close to Praetoriius for unknown reasons, but they officially claimed it as their territory, which lead to Praetoriius conquering it, revealing it was made of agricultural waste, officially getting their leader the title of "The Conqueror of The Garbage Island". However, Khazar lechia regained their position around and on the island with the intention of expanding it and turning it into a proper military outpost and eventually making it their place of desposal for unrecyclable nuclear waste.
In the north Cielearda diplomatically assimilated Andrearda. Mantesa declared a military coup and a the new government was quickly overthrown by Khazar lechia establishing King Diego as a proper independent Monarch, despite the renouncement of his Jacobian mandate, he was given Protogeni Christian one, as Mantesa surprisingly instantly converted to Protogeni Christianity. In the end one of the Mantesan Protogeni bishops was announced a new Metropolitan of Mantesa. Not yet a Patriarch, but still Mantesan Protogeni Church was established and crowned King Diego back into his throne, this time with more power than before. Interestingly enough Cielearda was able to use that war in order to get some of Mantesan land for themselves. Since then Mantesa became mostly quiet and stagnant.
After the war was settled, Thialrer colonized the second natural Island north from Klocia... and Royalist deyest left the region due to an unknown disease spreading in their nation, destroying everything that used to be their country, with their weaponry, leaving only empty land, which quickly has been retaken by nature, only to come back after a few weeks and start new settlements on the rabble... In the mean time the western part of the region was settled by Slavs, similar to those in Khazar Lechia, forming a new nation state, which they themselves call Kievo rus.
Later on Praetoriius has been exiled from the region by Khazar lechia who very kindly nuked their capital and all known locations of the plutarchy. Its remains now proclaimed independence as a new socialist country of Free keltia.
As most countries met on a meeting discussing proposition of a wealthy man from Khazar lechia and a Minister of Dorsla on how to help the environment. Free keltia expanded their borders a small amout to the east and north, getting a border with Thialrer. By this point the entire region was ready to take the protestors who attacked Mantesa by force, but for an unknown reason stagnation of Mantesa and completely no contact with their people held others back.
When most leaders were busy attending Thialrer for coronation of their new leader a nation of Blessed hyrkania settled in the south of the region and proclaimed independence. On another note Qirka, the Khatun of Khazar lechia won a Nobel Peace Prize and instead of taking monetary reward demanded a few more provinces to be given to Khazar lechia which could be used to enlarge their military and establish a bunch of new military bases of KL in the region, which in the end inspired her to propose an ammendement to the regional charter in which Khazar lechia would have a duty to protect the rest of the region military wise.
As the population of most nations kept growing, the small nations like Blessed hyrkania and Kievo rus, had to expand into new unsettled lands, in order to grow properly. Meanwhile Vivaniia, yet another remnant nation descended from Praetoriius proclaimed independence and formed an official government in place where a symbolic tree-planting has been held by Dorsla.
A tornado came into existance near the coast of Khazar lechia. It destroyed one of The Enforcement facilities starting a chain reaction, by turning on military defense systems, which in the end destroyed most of the coast of Khazar lechia flooding it with water, which caused a huge reform in government, all the while, in the south-east of the region new nations kept popping up, like Sanesmar.
