He had a relatively easy childhood, being groomed to be Tsar. He was well educated and excelled at World History, Chemistry, and multiple foreign languages, knowing Russian, German, and English by age 12. Adding Swedish and Portuguese by age 16. He was said to be very protective of his little sister Svetlana, and was very mature for his age.

In the year 1874 the barbarian tribe by the name of the Kuvaqs raided Tiskai villages on the Kortemjoki River. Tsar Gregory responds with the deploying the western army against the barbarians. By 1877 the war ended in a Tiskai victory, Vasily now aged 20 was a national hero, as he lead the western army to victory. However, his father had contracted Tuberculosis and could no longer rule.

1879 Famine

Vasily remain isolated from the rest of the world until 1879, when a famine struck the land around Oryshevsk. The capital managed to recover in 4 months but it made Vasily realize he needed a sustainable food source. As his own land was not fertile enough to feed all of his people, he turned south to his neighbor Bretislavia. In 1880 the two nations opened up trade through the Treshchina River (German: Teilt).
