History
North Jericho became an independent nation after the Jericho Civil War of 1975. The revolution resulted after decades of martial law ordered by Supreme Leader Maij. The climax of the tension came when General Rajav Asaph Molkiva (now King Asaph I of North Jericho) was able to turn 1/3 of the military forces against the Supreme Leader under the pretense of a more democratic union for the people of Jericho. After an attempted coup d'etat, orchestrated by General Molkiva, failed in 1974 the country split into two factions with the majority of the military and half of its citizens supporting the union of Jericho and Supreme Leader Maij. The failed coup gave an opportunity for Supreme Leader Maij to retreat to the southern part of the nation along with a majority of the military as his escort. Over the next several months, General Molkiva was able to build up military support acquiring some detractors from the Supreme Leader along the way. There were several battles that transpired over the next year; however. the war itself only lasted 15 months.
Molkiva's military strategy was much more modern compared to that of the Supreme Leader, and as time went on Supreme Leader Maij's military allegiances started to falter as leadership began to fear a victory by the rebellion. This resulted in the peaceful surrender of many military personnel on the battlefield to Molkiva out of fear for their lives. Rather than executing the prisoners, Molkiva offered quid pro quo's to his former peers: their life in return for unwavering loyalty, support, and continued fighting against the mother nation. Those that pledged allegiance to Supreme Leader Maij were publicly executed, and left on the streets for others to see as a reminder.
Molkiva's ability to out maneuver the Supreme Leader with strategic victories, military personnel capture, and city occupations led to the continued suppression of the Supreme Leader's sympathizers to the lower part of the nation. After the victorious conquest at Praav, the Supreme Leader was willing to concede to Molkiva. Days later the two entered peace treaty negotiations. The treaty resulted in the birth of North Jericho as an independent nation, free from Jericho, along with the annexation of all the previously occupied cities.
The battle at Praav was such a defeat to the nation of Jericho that Molkiva deemed it the new capital of North Jericho just days after the peace treaty was signed. Molkiva was crowned a hero the people of North Jericho. He also agreed to serve as head of state as a Military Governor temporarily until the nation was able to form a new government, legislature, and constitution for her people.
Molkiva's leadership was so well respected amongst the new nation that the government structure started forming itself around his leadership. In the winter of 1979, during the constitutional convention, military and civilian leaders decided to implement a monarchy and establish General Molkiva the King of the newly formed nation. Reluctantly, Molkiva agreed to the term. On March 24, 1980 Molkiva was crowned and officially became the monarch, King Asaph I, of The Kingdom of North Jericho
