History
Founded in 1432, the Empire of Foxomexra was a loose confederation of feudal states that owed a measure of allegiance to the Emperor, seated in the city of Ardgan. Although usually united against outside threats, infighting within the Empire was common, and land was constantly exchanged both through peaceful means and through wars between rival feudal lords. Gradually power within the Empire came into the hands of a limited number of kingdoms as the many smaller duchies and kingdoms eventually faded out of existence at the hands of more powerful foes. As the Empire grew, so too did its enemies - to the west of Foxomexra was the Gabilian Range, a vast mountain range that had formerly restricted interaction between the Empire and those that lived on the other side, however as power centralized the stronger kingdoms that comprised Foxomexra looked outwards for ways to expand their influence, bringing them into conflict with the Empire of Hereal.
In 1728 the first of many conflicts between Foxomexra and Hereal began, lasting 6 years, and resulting in a stunning defeat for Foxomexra as they struggled to adapt to the mountainous terrain of Hereal. Foxomexra attempted again in 1740 to gain a foothold in Herealan territory, but the failure of the Foxomexran kingdoms to collaborate with each other led many to question the stability of the Foxomexran imperial system. As the war continued, the kingdoms of Foxomexra began discussing how to best adapt to defeat the Empire of Hereal, and in 1743 the kingdoms signed the Imperial Unification Treaty, under which the kingdoms of the Empire agreed to relinquish a substantial amount of their independent authority over to the Emperor, most notably in the case of military coordination if ever Foxomexra should find itself in a state of war.
Although the war that began in 1740 was ultimately unsuccessful for Foxomexra, the new system under the Imperial Unification Treaty would show great benefit to the Empire in 1779, when Foxomexra tried to invade Hereal for a third time. The united strength of the Foxomexran kingdoms' military forces were able to win many substantial victories against Hereal, reclaiming territory that was lost in earlier wars against their western foes, and gaining a foothold within Herealan territory. In 1793 another invasion into Hereal was launched, during which most of what is now the Province of Firen was conquered. Seeking liberation, in 1809 the territory that now comprises the Province of Lydia revolted against Hereal, and after fighting alongside Foxomexra, chose to seek membership as a kingdom within the Empire. The Empire of Hereal was able to stay together until finally falling to Foxomexra after a 7 year war which began in 1821, and the Kingdom of Hereal was established in what is now known as the Province of Hereal.
In 1843 political unrest within Foxomexra led to violent overthrow of the Emperor, and the installation of a democratic form of government in Ardgan. The kingdoms of the Empire revolted against the new government, however popular support for the new government was widespread and the Empire broke down into chaos. A brutal civil war erupted, with the kingdoms fighting each other for control of the Empire as revolutionaries attempt to overthrow the monarchical systems and put in place governments that would better represent themselves. Order was not restored to Foxomexra until 1856, with the Republic of Ardgan reigning above the crippled former Empire and assisting newly formed republics that had replaced the old feudal system. A system of government was put in place where each republic would be represented within Foxomexra as a province of the country and would hold elections where the common citizen would be able to partake in government.
Longstanding disagreements between the provinces of Rugia and Indal regarding their border in eastern Foxomexra eventually led to the breakdown of peaceful discussion and conflict ensued in the summer of 1898 when Rugian military forces suddenly began marching into territory belonging to Indal. Both parties rallied other provinces to their side, with the Province of Bhuner aiding Rugia and the provinces of Drulin and Firen helping Indal. Attempts by the Federal Districts of Ardgan to make both sides resolve the conflict peacefully were unsuccessful, so in late 1898 federal soldiers began to march into contested territory and demanded the warring sides cease their conflict. The Province of Rugia refused to yield to the federal military's demands, and issued a declaration of war against the Federal Districts, after which Bhuner and the Province of Hereal followed and did the same. Throughout the course of the war, the provinces of Lydia and Vernon remained neutral, and the war ended in 1901 with the Federal Coalition forcing a surrender of the Eastern Pact. The war, dubbed the Eastern War by contemporary historians, resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths collectively on both sides and re-sparked the Herealan rebellion which had previously died out for decades prior to the war.
