History

GRAIL was founded on May 30, 2020 by Empirical Switzerland, and many members began to join, and by September 4th, 2020, it had gained 15 members.

The Zarnicovian Novan Civil War
On September 19, 2048, Zarnicovia Nova was thrust into a civil war when a rebellion broke out in the south, followed by more uprisings in the Dao Island region, eventually pushing Zarnicovia Novan forces out of their western territories. After this, Trenaka began to supply the Zarnicovia Novans with aid, and eventually declared a limited intervention against the rebels. The rebels managed to send a covert strike force to the GRAIL headquarters in New Bern, Empirical Switzerland. This attack force was headed by the rebel Lord Karen, who ordered child soldiers to fire on the diplomats. However, Swiss guards blocked them from doing so, and manage to capture the soldiers, and Lord Karen attempts to flee via the river that is by the GRAIL headquarters, but is blocked by patrol ships from the Imperial Swiss navy. She is eventually captured. After the attack is finished, Empirical Switzerland and Trenaka both intervene, and send troops and planes to Zarnicovia Nova to fight the rebels, as well as using their respective navies to blockade the rebels, and victory was secured in a couple of months.

The First Kamilistan Crisis
After the Zarnicovian Novan Civil War, GRAIL started an initiative against slaver nations, particularly focusing on the nation of Tupeia, a nation whose economy was entirely built on slavery. After some investigation, it was revealed that the country of Kamilistan, a GRAIL member state, had bought slaves from Tupeia. With this information leaked, the Kamilistani Delegate to GRAIL fled the GRAIL headquarters, trying to escape Empirical Switzerland, and the Kamilistani government left GRAIL.

The Trenakan Civil War and the Second Kamilistan Crisis
On October 10, 2050, large-scale political division in Trenaka finally hit a critical point, where the two coalitions of the equally-divided Senate refused to do anything other the other side conceded to their demands. After two weeks of inactivity in the Trenakan Senate, the Trenaka First party, a far-right, nationalist party, incited an uprising in the city of Freiburg, starting the Trenakan Civil War. After Trenakan pleas for aid, Empirical Switzerland and Skyhooked sent troops, planes, and other needed military assets to Trenaka. After winning several victories against the rebels, Zarnicovia Nova sends military support, and Ikheria sends economic aid.

However, after this aid was sent, the nation of Kamilistan joins the war on the side of the rebels, declaring war on Trenaka, and invading parts of the north of Trenaka, starting the Second Kamilistan Crisis. Various GRAIL nations sent aid to Trenaka,and some even declared war on Kamilistan. After a few months, the rebels had been defeated by Trenaka with the support of GRAIL.

With the rebels defeated, Anagonia and Trenaka both begin a naval invasion of Kamilistan. After several offensives into Kamilistan, Kamilistan requested a cease-fire, and GRAIL accepted. After the cease-fire was signed, delegates from all involved countries were invited to the Trenakan capital city of Munich to discuss a peace treaty.

The Treaty of Munich
With the war over, GRAIL created a peace treaty with Kamilistan, officially ending the Second Kamilistan Crisis.

The treaty:
- Article I: The allied nations are to supervise the revision of the Kamilistani Constitution.
- Article I, Addendum I: Those revisions will include supporting the right to a free market and the abolishment of slavery.
- Article II: Reparations from Kamilistan to the victorious powers will begin two years after the signing of this treaty.
- Article III: The delegates that participated in the peace talks will decide the fate of accused war criminals, and if found guilty, will be punished based on their country's laws against murder or sabotage.
- Article IV: The allied nations are allowed to continue humanitarian aid to Kamilistan
- Article V: Reparations from the Trenakan rebels shall be paid by selling the rebel leaders' property.
- Article VI: Kamilistan will have an election one week after this treaty comes into effect.

After the war was over, Empirical Switzerland announced officer positions, and many GRAIL nations are currently running.
