1700s: Georgian Era
1800s: Georgian Era to Early Regian Era
Georgius III oversaw the expansion of the Lucis Empire at its height but suffered a recurring and eventually, permanent mental illness that drew the King insane. On Christmas X809, He spoke nonsense for 58 Hours. He died on the 29th of January X810, Having ruled Lucis for more than 50 years, the longest rule than any monarch before him or after. He was succeeded by his son, Georgius IV. When Georgius IV was crowned, He was morbidly obese, weighing 245 pounds with a measurement of 130cm. He banned his wife, Caroline from his coronation and was very unpopular with the public, except in Accordo. His heavy drinking contributed to his death in X812, ruling for only a year and a half. He was succeeded by his brother, Willus IV. Willus or William was a very popular King. He established laws for the benefit of agriculture and was well-mannered. He was called the 'Sailor King' due to his service with the Royal Navy. He oversaw Nihhon-koku integrated into the Lucis Empire as well as managing the growth of Zanarkand and New Akiba. He was Nihhon-koku's first Lucian Emperor and was dubbed as "The First Beloved Emperor" in Nihhonese history because he abolished absolutism and feudalism. He died in X827 and was succeeded by his brother, Regis Lucis Caelum CVI. Regis ruled for five years but oversaw the Lucian expansion into Basel-Ebel as well as opening a trade route into Africanna as well as Esthar and Balamb. He also oversaw the grant of independence to Indiae, Guinea, Alteria and the return of Western Erebonia to the Erebonian Empire. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Regis Lucis Caelum CVII. While his brother's influence kept the peace, His rule could not. Imperial Aggression was ruling over Europa and Asianna and that the Monarchies of the world were being threatened with death and abolition. Surprisingly, He managed to keep the influence out of the Commonwealth and used his powers to lead the country into the First Europan War. He encouraged trading with Asianna nations such as Quenmin, Joyonghea and Bethausia. He also allowed the refuge of last-living Bethausian monarch, Judith Imhild; who then married his nephew, William Edwardius Caelum. He had no legitimate heir and appointed his older brother's son, Regis Lucis Caelum CVIII as his heir. He died a month after the war ended and was succeeded by the latter. Regis Lucis Caelum CVIII was intelligently wise and popular with the people. It was him that prevented Absolutism and Imperialism from ever entering into Commonwealth space. At the early years of his rule, the Niflheimian War of Independence was looming around but prevented it from gaining ground, this lasting only for a mere 2 weeks. He also oversaw the Quenminese expansion into numerous Asianna nations. It had violated the treaty that ended EWI and Regis knew that the Quenminese rebels had supported the Niflheimian rebels with 3 other Imperial Countries, The Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance, Guadosalam Federation and Archadia-Archedes. In 1930, He dissolved relations with Quenmin. Had relations continued, The UK would have remained a neutral. He also oversaw the grant of Parliament to the Lucis Empire territories as well as the grant of independence to some countries. This gave way to the organization of 15 countries known as the Commonwealth of Nations with the King remaining head of state in 12 countries that included Altissia, Basel-Ebel, Zanarkand, Rubrum, New Akiba, Concordia, Lestallum, Tenebrae and Solheim, Jutland-Gimli, Nihhon-koku, Nibelheim-Saxe-Hanover and the UK itself.
His reign oversaw the Second Europan War. His Prime Minister, Winston S. Churchill stood as inspiration to the people to fight. He made numerous visits to the different fronts and was very popular. He even stood as a fireman during the Imperial Bombings of Insomnia. The words of his Prime Minister Churchill drove the Lucis Commonwealth to stand against the Imperials, Archadians, Guado, Russites, Calvardians and Quenminese. The UK was the leading Allied nation during the war. The UK also sought the protection of Gallia-Bruhl from both the Atlantic Federation and the East Empire. By the end of the war, He oversaw the further decolonization of the Lucis Empire. He died in X873, managing the reestablishment of the Quenminese nation against a new threat, Lorica. He was succeeded by his son Regis Lucis Caelum CIX but died after 2 months and was succeeded by his son Regis Lucis Caelum CX but his rule only lasted for 2 months also due to a scandal. He then abdicated in favor of his brother Georgius V He oversaw the preparation of every nation under threat from the Imperials and even went as far as providing arsenals for Quenmin, Joyonghea and Bethausia. He then participated in the 1949 Samcheok Diet where delegates from the UK, Quenmin, Joyonghea, Bethausia, Esthar, Dalmasca and Erebonia met to find ways of countering the Lorican threat. The diet also signaled the start of the Allied nations that is known to everyone in the modern day. His rule also oversaw the spark that ignited the War of Lorican Aggression. His Prime Minister, Clement Williams managed the affairs of the nations while he could only look from afar. He died in 1957 and was succeeded by his son Regis Lucis Caelum CXI. Regis refused to be King but had to accept the task since his brother, also named Regis, was still in his 20s. He wanted him to 'find his path' and only then will he abdicate in favor of him. Regis oversaw the Lucis Commonwealth's accelerated decolonization of the 1960s. He also made plans for the agriculture and trade sector in order to save the economy from being bankrupt. As King, it was not his task to control the economy but had made proposals that parliament approved. He only had 3 daughters and one of them married the Crown Prince of the Erebonian Empire. He appointed his younger brother Regis as King. He abdicated in 1961 and was succeeded by his brother, Regis Lucis Caelum CXII. Over the course of his 9 year rule, He was focused on setting his sights on not only the further decolonization of the Lucis Empire but also improving relations among foreign nations. As the War was still prevalent, He focused his plans on further increasing ways of saving the Lucian Economy and preserving the value of the Gil. His plans produced the Economic Edict of 1965 and made it possible that the value of the Gil would be preserved. The Edict also provided plans for improving trade with Asianna, Europa, Amerigonna and Africanna Nations. He then proposed another plan, and it produced the Economic Edict of 1967. It revised the old edict and provided a newer layout but the edict issued a much more strict ban on drugs to prevent Lorican Opium from entering into other nations. He then abdicated in X896 (1970) in favor of his son, Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII. As the war neared its end, He did not focus on further improving armament support but focused into peaceful negotiations. He drafted his plan for a peace treaty to end the 25 year war. His rule oversaw the decline of the Commonwealth contribution to the war since the UK no longer had the military strength that it had in the past. He submitted his draft in 1974 to Parliament and was approved. This eventually gave way to the Treaty of Thien Dai that ended the war. In 1977, He immediately focused on setting up diplomatic relations with former enemy nations. His act of revitalizing the peace was well-received. He made a full peace treaty with the Archadian and Guadosalam, Russite and Calvardian nations but only negotiated peace terms with the Atlantic Federation, Lorica and the East Empire as the Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis was looming.
1900s: Present Regian Era
In the 1980s He assigned his closest friend, Belgen Gunther to independently manage the Royal Gallian Army. As early as 1980, He started to produce plans to make Gallia-Bruhl fully independent. He was then in talks with William IV of Tristain la-Fontaine to unite Tristain with the UK. Tristain had been serving under the UK in every war it had been. The UK and Tristain were similar in matters of politics and culture. In the 1990s, He set his sights on preparing the UK and the Commonwealth for the new millennium. He also initiated support to Archadian refugees during the Sanguinoso Colpo or the Archadian Revolution of 1990. Regis firmly supported the Nationalists and eventually they won. Regis was among the first of the heads of state of the Allied nations to welcome the new government. He did not start trade relations with Archadia until 1997. In local affairs, He established numerous colleges in the UK as well as in other Commonwealth nations. He was also instrumental in improving the quality of education offered in each universities. In 1995, He visited the University of Tokyu and was made honorary councilor. He then visited his alma mater, the University of St. Georgius to speak to the Class of 1995.
Other foreign affairs also included his visit to Quenmin in 1993 where he made trips to numerous landmarks, including the Thanh Bac Memorial. He concluded his state visit by signing the Thien Dai Agreement. Then in 1994, He visited Joyonghea and made numerous agreements with Joyonghean officials as well as visiting numerous landmarks, including the famed Chuncheon Obelisk where it stood over the place where Edward Samegawa officially proposed to Chae Hwa-young. He concluded his visit by signing the Samcheok Agreement.
By 2000, His rule has made numerous achievements, earning him the nickname "Foreman Reggie" for his restoration of the peace around and reducing the Commonwealth influence that started since his uncle, Regis CXI's rule. However, This peace would soon end. Regis was shot to death by Iedolas Aldercapt, who led the Niflheimian Rebels during the Second Lucis Civil War, A reminiscent of the Niflheimian War of Independence. Iedolas sought a republican government within the Lucis Isles and end the Commonwealth rule and instilling a fully Republican-Socialist ideology within the Commonwealth. From 2008 to 2010, Lucis and South Niflheim was under Republican rule with most of the Parliament fleeing with Regis' family to Tristain, where Henrietta, Queen of Tristain la-Fontaine offered refuge. Regis was succeeded by his son, Noctis Lucis Caelum.
Noctis was only 21 when he ascended to the throne, being the youngest to ever ascend in the modern times. Noctis ruled the UK from Tristain from 2008 to 2010. He returned in early 2010 to personally command the Lucis Armed Forces in Accordo. When the war ended, He personally dueled with Iedolas, killing him with a strike of Noctis' katana through the Iedolas' chest, avenging his father. On the 25th of July, Noctis formally reopened Parliament a day after he married his long-time lover Lunafreya Nox Fleuret and immediately set his plans to work to restore Lucis and Niflheim. Accordo and Northern Niflheim were left untouched. He appealed to other Commonwealth nations to send engineers to revitalize the capital and other cities. He initated the UK Plan 2010, which was a plan to restore Lucis and Niflheim under 2 years with numerous help from other Commonwealth nations. In the affairs of Bethausia, He oversaw the ascension of his cousin, William Edwardius III as King of Bethausia. His cousin was 25 when he ascended, making Noctis the youngest to ascend in modern times.
Before moving back to Lucis, He issued the Randgriz Agreement that made way for a full and total Gallian Independence with Gallia having its own head of state and Parliament. This action made Noctis very popular in Gallia-Bruhl. Noctis is a supporter of total Gallian independence. He was backed by his best friend, Welkin Gunther. On August 18, 2010, He finally granted Gallia its full independence with Cordelia gi Randgriz succeeding him with the title, Archduchess of Gallia-Bruhl. He also oversaw the union of the United Kingdom with Tristain, changing the complicated name from United Kingdom of Great Lucis and Accordo to United Kingdom of Great Lucis and Tristain-la Fontaine but majority still use the name United Kingdom of Great Lucis and Accordo to denote the Lucis Isles and Tristain la-Fontaine.
Noctis is also known for his love of Nihhonese culture, being that he was born in Akihabara, Tokyu; The site where the first Lucians in Nihhon-koku were settled. He became known as "King of Nihhonese-Lucian Culture". Being young at his age, He was both serious and very playful with children. This contributed to his popularity among adolescents. Unlike other Kings before him, He was passionately open-minded but not shallow. Noctis as King was very serious and had deep thoughts about the future of the Commonwealth.
From 2012, Lorica once again became aggressive against other nations along with the East Empire and the Atlantic Federation. This prompted Noctis and other Allied Leaders to once again initiate Exercise TRIOC in 2012, then on 2013, 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the Imperial Crisis began with Noctis being placed as the main figure of the Commonwealth of Nations and with Quenmin leading the Allied nations.
