Novya Polustranya (Nation)

Novya Polustranya is a nation formed from a rebellion in Bausable, a resistance effort to the attempted merge of Exia and Bausable. The complicated political system of a dual monarchy did not appeal to the populace of that area, having previously been a sovereign state with undefined borders before the return of the Deroya family and having remained a partially self-governing district ever since.

Pre-Restoration Age
Before The Restoration, Polustranya began with the town of Rybamye, a settlement founded in the mid AC960s that traded fish for other goods and services. Ever since it was first named, other villages joined in alliance with them, allowing themselves to be ruled by the former Lord of Rybamye, now King of the nation of Polustranya.

As the years passed, they conquered or absorbed more settlements until their borders met Exia and Bausable in the AC1040s. Adriana Deroya claimed ownership of the land. Their leader refused to cede it to them.

In the ensuing war, Polustranya was utterly defeated by Bausable, losing over 70% of their armed forces before being absorbed into the country.

Annexation
They were allowed to be partially self-governing, maintain their own armed forces up to a percentage of that of the main governing body.

The district always held a negative opinion of the royal family, which led to heavy policing of that part of the country. As talks of the merge of Exia and Bausable started shifting towards the details, civilians began arming themselves with the assistance of the southern military.

Talks between the governor-general of the district and the queens of Exia and Bausable for full independence of the former Polustranyan Kingdom. These requests were met with pointed guns, and Polustranya pointed their guns in return.

Civil War
In AC1186, the rebelling counties of Bausable took up arms against the advancing loyalist armies. Immediately, Polustranya took up a defensive stance, simply defending themselves from re-annexation. Early in the war, the rebel armies seemed to be winning the war, with several successful defenses of their bordering cities.

The tides began to turn as a new, very simple swap of parts produced a semi-automatic service rifle that provided far more firepower than the bolt-action rifle Polustranya was armed with. Old prototypes were pulled out of storage to attempt to level the playing field.

In AC1188, New Dendarin sent aid in the form of an infantry division, who sailed through the edges of the ringsea and through a river to reach the central sea. From there, they sailed around the nation of Espuna to reach Polustranya. The shipment was marked within the ledger as "Livestock" and their feed, when in reality, it was soldiers and equipment.

With an additional twenty thousand soldiers, the balance was achieved once again. More border towns were retaken and defended from the loyalists. Early in the following year, the nation regained its sovereignty.
