CSLYMY

The Cooperative States of LYMY is a nation located in Moradaland from its formation until its dissolution in July 2021, and its recreation after the Great War. CSLYMY, a bastion of culture and a great power in its own right, with a rich history and fairly powerful military, emerged as a power in the east of Norderon in the mid 10th Century CE.

History
The nation rose to prominence in the 20th and early 21st century, becoming one of the founding members of the Norderon Economic Union, and aligning itself with its neighbours Urskaland and the Skrattain Federation

Ancient History 

Various tribes in the Lymyian Continent, who were projected to have arrived from nearby ex-landmass which was connected to Noderon in 10000 BCE after fleeing a drought and massive fire, united under the leadership of Rumarkoy Swether to form the Lymyian Kingdom in 0 CE.

The Lymyian Kingdom was renamed to the Lymyian Empire at around 1100 CE, by King Rumar-Ski Elionish, with the acquisition of overseas territories in Noderon. This marked a significant growth in the power of the Lymyian People.

A notable overseas acquisition was the Lymyian Colony of Polarusk in Central Orteron in 1750 CE. It was a notable sign of Lymyian power, and served as a major trading port and military outpost for Baru Lymy to project its power in Orteron and abroad.

Modern History

The Empire saw rapid decline in the late 20th century, under corrupt and incompetent rulers, which resulted in increased wealth accumulation by the nobility and some merchants and aristocrats, leaving many common folk dirt poor.

The final straw came as the empire tried to hold its last remaining colony in Aliron. The rulers knew of the political instability within the mainland, and needed the colony to aid with the empire's trade and national pride to unite the people under their rule. This turned out to be disastrous as the empire spent no cost trying to hold on to the colony, causing the country to plunge into debt and a mild famine as food was diverted towards soldiers and way too many young Lymyians were sent to the front. Communist revolutionary Yosef Ilyunoic led the heavily fragmented communist movement and managed to subtlely spread their message until the time was ripe for revolution. The revolution of 1918 was decisive and swift, with much infighting albeit controlled under Comrade Yosef. Comrade Yosef won over the the hearts and minds of the military, allowing the newly formed Communist States of Lymy to maintain its hold on Polarusk, which was incorporated directly under Baru Lymy's control. This marked the end of a continuous government of nearly 2000 years.

Communist Rule Communist rule under Comrade Yosef, despite his charismatic persona, was brutal and harsh. Several hard-handed measures such as food acquisition to raise funds for modernisation led to widespread famine and suffering, with the famine of 1933 estimated to cause 2 million deaths. All political opposition was persecuted and swiftly dealt with, causing a climate of fear in the country, with the establishment of the Bureau of General Kontainment. Its official purpose was to contain "terror ideologies", but in reality it served as the terror arm of the state. CSLYMYian flag, by Ziwemir Huanin

Fall of Communism in CSLYMY

With the death of Comrade Yosef in 1961, the hidden political divisions in the government became full-blown. Knowing that he was unable to hold onto power, Comrade Niklin, Yosef's appointed successor, immediately pushed democratic reforms through parliament to prevent violent uprisings and civil war. The communist party soon split into four different parties.

The election of 1962 saw a relatively small party, the CSLYMYian Social Democratic Party, rise to prominence as its simple message of providing welfare while allowing capitalism to grow the economy resonated with the people and set it apart. The party won all seats it contested, forming just over 50% of the government.

The party immediately set on giving individual states more autonomy to allow them to resolve more issues locally and to reduce bureaucracy and corruption. To emphasise unity in the country still, the government renamed the country to the Cooperative States of LYMY, along with a new constiution, and changed the flag to reflect justice and progress, officially marking the end of communist rule.

In the second decade of the 21st century, CSLYMY's democratic government was overthrown by a military junta who sought to reclaim former CSLYMYian lands which had been annexed in previous conflicts with the Skrattain Federation and other Skrattain nations.

The end of CSLYMY began when the nation invaded Stoicorum, a member of the OFN, in late 2020. The entire OFN proceeded to lead a counter assault.

A significant portion of the CSLYMYian armed forces marched through the tundra and attempted to launch a surprise attack on Urskaland, but this was a monumental failure as the extremely well-trained Ursk armed forces decimated the troops.

The coalition invaded mainland CSLYMY, forcing the junta government into islands off the coast of Stoicorum.

Mainland Cslymy was partitioned into TOO-controlled Falango-Ursk LYMY and a OFN-controlled CSLYMY.

In mid March 2021, the military junta government returned to OFN-controlled CSLYMY and overpowered the peacekeeping force there, returning the power back to the military.

This time, the state turned its attention to the west, attempting to negotiate a deal with Urskaland for a joint invasion of Max1mosburger. The Ursk Þyþþing voted against this idea.

2 weeks later, CSLYMY invaded Max1mosberger, which was in a state of anarchy. The OFN once again came to the aid of M1B, and the Skrattain Federation invaded from the south while Falango-Ursk LYMY invaded from the north. TOO also joined the war, supporting the OFN again. An Ursk invasion from the west met with the CSLYMYian forces, who attempted to escape via sea but were surrounded and massacred by the Ursk naval force.

Dissolution of the state
After the embarrassing defeat in both wars in the space of just a single year, CSLYMY was dissolved and split between various new states. The leader of the junta was executed by Ursk special forces after attempting to flee west to Orteron.
