Corinthian Republic

Corinthian Republic
Founded in 2012, this low key yet influential nation is centered on the Isle de Corinth in the south. Through out it's long history, the Republic has been controlled, manipulated, and torn apart. Yet now the city is emerging as a front runner in Imperial politics.

Origins:
Originally known as Hybridfyre, the nation was divided early on by a civil war. Little information is known, but the House Hammer was victorious, and the other houses defected to create HellINC, a later ally. The city began to develop its immediate shore, producing the quaint yet beautiful Ole' North. Development of the North Coast was halted by a short Civil War.

The Corinthian Republic:
The city became large enough to declare itself a nation, becoming the Corinthian Republic in honor of the Island it is built on.

Alliance with HellINC:
The Republic has been allied twice. The first time, Corinth signed The Treaty of Brook Rock to prevent a war with neighbor and child faction, HellINC. Corinth claimed independance as HellINC collapsed a few months later, barely escaping.

During the Alliance, Corinth and HellINC competed to see how many players each could get. At its peak, Corinth was the second largest faction on EL and had more players then HellINC, however HellINC controlled more territory

Canadian Alliance:
Enjoying a few months of peace, Corinth and its Capital District signed a treaty of allegiance with the Empire of Canadia. This alliance was strong at first, Emperor Atalung and Regent Hamer had an excellent freindship. However the freindship degraded rapidly

Independance:
Corinth claimed independence from Canadia along with HellINC in late 2014. Now Vienna is booming, rapidly becoming a major power. Never again will Corinth be the conquered, it will always be the conqueror. It's future is uncertain, but it will undoubtedly live up to it's motto, The Republic Shall Stand

Other:
Vienna's current ruling family is the house of Hammer, Regent Hamer presiding.
