History
Due to the Alliance with Mondstadt, Batavian was under the control of the principality of Mondsadt from 1380, although officially it was owned by Castina until 1814. In 1874, a thousand years after the first settlement First recognized, Mondstadt granted rule over the Batavian Kingdom. The Constitution, written the same year and amended in 1903 and the extent of Batavian rule increased in 1904.
On December 1, 1918, the Act of Union, an agreement with Mondstadt, recognized Batavian as a fully sovereign state, an independent state in personal union with Mondstadt through a common monarch. . The Batavian Kingdom established its own flag and coat of arms and required Mondstadt to represent its foreign affairs and defense interests on its behalf while retaining full control over its foreign and defense affairs. Batavian opened its first embassy in 1920. The act would be reviewed in 1940 and could be revoked three years later if a continuation agreement could not be reached.
During the first year of World War II, Batavian strictly enforced a neutral stance and took action against both British and German forces that violated that stance. The German invasion of Mondstadt on 9 April 1940 and the subsequent occupation severed communication between Batavian and Mondstadt. As a result, on April 10, the Parliament of Mondstadt passed two resolutions giving the Batavian cabinet the power of head of state and declaring that the Batavian Kingdom would take full responsibility for both foreign policy and coast monitoring. On May 10, 1940, Operation Fork was launched by the United Kingdom when military forces entered Kitauji Harbor and began the Batavian invasion. The Batavian government issued a note protesting what it called a "flagrant violation" of Batavian neutrality. On the day of the invasion, Prime Minister Masayuki Ludora Nasca read a radio announcement instructing the Batavians to treat the British army as guests. On May 15, 1941, Congress passed a law creating the position of regent for Velgrynd Valentine to represent the monarchy.
At its peak, Britain had about 25,000 troops stationed in Batavian, excluding unemployment at Kitauji and other strategically important places. In July 1941, Congress passed the Mondstadt-Batavian defense agreement, transferring responsibility for Batavian's defense to Mondstadt until 1972.
Following a constitutional referendum in May 1972, Batavia officially became a Kingdom on June 17, 1972. The then Grand Duke of Mondstadt, William II, sent a congratulatory message to Batavian people.
