The Empire of Auspizien / Auspizien Empire[]

The Empire of Auspizien once stood proudly as one of the quickest growing nations on the server. However, following improper ruling, a power vacuum, aswell as outside pressure, the Empire had collapsed.
Auspizien's capital was Korinia. To this day, one of the largest and richest cities in all of Santoria. With it now being the capital of ithe successor state of Auspizien, the Aeternus Federation. Auspizien at its peak was decently large, controlling a nice chunk of the Thundering Sea, rivaling the early Nameelians.
It's successor state, The Aeternus Federation, is one of the largest states in all of Santoria, yet still is not recognized as an official ingame nation, Because of course it isn't.
Ancient History[]
The Auspizien identity has existed for far before August, existing, rather, on Rathnir, in the nation of Brightland. The Founding Fathers of Auspizien lived in its capital, which was reportedly "Poorly built and corrupt". Due to this, Asynerx and Toaster, created the "Brightland Legionnaires", so that they could turn it into something much greater, Somewhat "Democratically". This, however, failed and was shut down by the government, and ultimately revealed to the public, not just to the Legionnaires, how corrupt Brightland truly was. Thus, Toaster created the group called the N.L.P. with 6 other people standing for the Nuclear Launch Program, due to the fact that the goal was to completely annihilate Brightland using a remote controlled gigantic TNT launcher.
The NLP had to take control over Brightland, whether that be through peaceful terms, or force. However, with peace immediately seeming unviable, the NLP staged a coup of the government. However, in a big blow to the small organization, Boulderov, backing Brightland, had the NLP running. In a last ditch effort, they created multiple squatting villages and camps, on their way to another land.
Early History[]
The Auspizienites would arrive on the Patridia Isles on Atlas. The new city would be called Korinia. Quickly growing and expanding, soon Auspizien would expand and create Kirschstadt, notably joked as the most inactive land in Auspizien whose title were to be given to Freiheitland.
However around this time in the late early periods of history of Auspizien, and early middle history, everything gets really blurry. From the limited knowledge we have on this period, we know that somewhere around this time, Turissimo took charge, and soon after that, everything started going downhill rapidly.
Turissimo & The 'Republic'[]
Turissimo, is a name that the early Korinians may never forget. He was arguably worse than Brightgamer, ruler of Brightland. Essentially what he did was establish a dictatorship, focused entirely on control, at the cost of citizens quality of life and prosperity of towns. This was a double edged sword, While yes, small temporary settlements were made and the Republic/Dictatorship on the map, these claims did not substantiate to any real progress.
It starting going downhill when Turissimo started centralizing the state more and more, taking power away from the founding fathers and becoming more paranoid then the Albanian Socialist dictatorship. He started plotting assassinations, public executions, and exiling opposition.
The Auspizienites did not stand for this, and eventually managed to force him, to essentially exile himself. With him gone, Nothing could ever go wrong!
The Black Sun[]
Nevermind! Everything can go wrong! Around this time mass hysteria across the server started occurring after a mysterious player named "Anonymous" Started saying cryptic stuff about what is essentially a shadow government that planned to overthrow multiple nations in order to create the Order of the Black Sun. Unfortunately, it picked out the 'Weaklings' at first. Which included small groups of lands and.. Auspizien.
Due to this, Turissimo returned, being suspected of being part of the shadow organization for a while, until realizing something along the lines of "Hey wait a minute, Auspizien is gone and is desperately looking for someone to lead them in a time of foreign oppression. Screw the black sun!" And Thus, he created the F.A.N.G. To Restore the former Dictators power.
It was wiped out along with the black sun by the Auspizien Peoples Front, a movement, yet again, started by Asynerx. In multiple victories and impressive leadership capabilities, he returned Auspizien to what it once was, not without scars, and was crowned, Emperor of Auspizien.
Rise of Auspizien[]
During this time, Auspizien prospered, however did not reach its peak, just yet.
Towns like Perrenia, Hot Springs, Bloodhaven, and much more were established. The population grew, and everything was great. During this time Asynerx employed a law to force EVERY City to have a cactus farm; which, back then, was the most efficient and powerful way to get money fast. This enriched Auspizien incredibly, especially Korinia. Towns were expanding at rapid pace due to this law/.
The military was also actually developed apart from a partisan/irregular force. However wasn't anything special just yet.
First* Fall of Auspizien[]
As you may have noticed, Auspizien collapses a lot. It's just a thing that it does I suppose. During this time, Auspizien became slowly inactive, as mayors of the previous newly established towns start leaving, and those citizens, not being as loyal to the state, for example the Korinians or Freiheitland Citizens, would go somewhere else, to an already established nation like Gumperium or Ragnarok
Due to this Auspizien had its first collapse, with every city becoming its own state. Including but not limited to: The Kingdom of Korinia, Republic of Kirschstadt, Republic of Arbeiterstadt, Kingdom of Freiheitland, Principality of Hot Springs and more.
However due to skillfull management of Asynerx, Arthuxce and Toaster. Auspizien would be reformed, just slightly weakened for now.
Auspizien Golden Age[]
After every collapse comes great prosperity! During this time cities like Fort Marsh, Fort Major, Medura, and multiple more absolutely massive towns were created and or joined Auspizien. Korinia was well over in the top 10 richest cities on the server. To this day, the secret money making technique, only known by mayors and elites was used across Auspizien, and now Aeternus. However, to this day, it still has not reached its maximum potential of 500,000$ per day.
Auspizien started militarizing, especially in the land of Medura, where multiple Shadowpeak raids would happen, however on the third time around when TheQuth led a raid to Medura, about 20 or more [somewhat mid] geared individuals came up, and while not winning, the raid would end in a tie. After this Hot Springs would supply Auspizien with potions, later creating the Springs Brewery. And so would fort major, while Freiheitland or Eleftheria as it was now known, would provide EXP and enchantments to gear.
By then about 10 LT4s and some higher some lower were recruited into the army. And small plans to raid shadowpeak back were made, however didn't get far due to the fact that Auspizien was entering its monthly loop again.
The Collapse[]
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, however later Toaster took charge of the nation instead of Asynerx, brought back Turissimo, and overall ruled the nation unfairly and frankly; terribly, was hated by the new towns and mayors, and eventually that lead to an ultimatum, followed by the declaration of independence of the Castellium Republic.
Fortunately enough Castellium after Auspiziens reorganization and restructuring, wanted to join back under an Auspizien-Castellium union, which at first was rejected but after external threats, it was accepted, however by then additional nations joined in. Ace, Ivor, and Ayrith. Therefore the creation of a multi-regional Federation, This time a nation that would last Forever! An Eternal Federation!
Thus, upon the death of Auspizien, like phoenixes from its own ash, the Aeternus Federation would be born. Being about 6x Larger, and the Largest unofficial nation on the Server, with well over 350 Members, and the largest amount of towns out of any nation.
Claims of Successors[]
Despite the dissolution of Auspizien as a nation, the Crown of Auspizien remains; there is debate amongst previously Auspizien officials on who is the rightful inheritor of the title. The primarily claimant is xspv, leader of Aguas Termales and Prince of Auspizien; despite him being the Prince of Auspizien, following Toaster's abdication of the throne, Asynerx regained the title of Emperor following a promise of restoring the credibility and reputation of Auspizien as a nation. Following the arguable failure, there's been calls for Asynerx to step down from his title and pass it onto xspv.
However, there has been no recent developments on the situation.
