Kingdom of Arum |
|---|
The Kingdom of Arum, more commonly known as Arum was created on 29 July 2017 by its reigning monarch King Liam of Arum. It was a former member of both the Macahdon Republic and the Republic of Liam, which it also claims to be the successor of. It has already expanded to have around 50% of the land once a part of the Republics and has already incorporated many far-off territories, even though it doesn't have the capacity to govern them.
Etymology
The name "Arum" is a shortening of Latin "aurum" meaning gold.
History
Originally founded as the Republic of Macahdon [1] in the Summer of 2016, it quickly fell apart due to immediate political inactivity in all parties. Realizing that a small republic wasn't working well as a micronation, future king Liam of House Griffin started a coup which allowed him to quickly assumed control of the republic, reforming it into the Republic of Liam, a military dictatorship. This state operated far more efficiently by dealing away with the old system of oligarchy and issuing an actual currency, a decision that would eventually contribute to the collapse of the Republic, lasting for roughly 1 month during June 2016.
Although it had lost some provinces during the war, it was mostly intact and more powerful than its predecessor, and it looked to be working out. The Republic it had conscripted 80% of its population into the army, but after the first week of ruling a problem had arisen: there was a large contingent of rebel fighters loyal to the deposed houses and the Royal guard were becoming increasingly deceitful and showed signs of forming their own rebel group. This was later found to be true when around 50% of the military joined the People's Liberation Forces led by former Royal Guard Mitchel.
The war quickly broke down into a stalemate with no side possessing enough forces to take any territory, as any territory taken would mean there would be a lack of defenders in another Province, allowing that land to be taken. Due to the constant state of war, the national currency crashed (as it was being used by all sides) and the war could no longer be sustained, leading to the collapse of the entire Republic. Eventually some of the former Macahdon Republic Houses would emerge as individual states with many of their past grievances forgotten.
One of these was House Griffon, which would eventually come to lead the Kingdom of Arum with the goal of reuniting the Republic under a King and expanding the Kingdom to be bigger than any of its predecessors.
