The Holy Legionnaire Empire (Austugrican: Szánkty Legio Rikh vo ter Keszi Lant) is a Mock Government that was based on several platforms. Founded in 2013 by Jesse, it is considered one of the first Mock Governments that appeared on Discord, and predates many of the modern servers.
History
The Musgorodian Period (2013-2014)
The first nation formed officially on United Year 0 (2013), June 13th (at approximately 7:58 PM), without a name. This nation had many factions, which eventually led to the first weeks and months of success turning stagnant. Eventually, this organized community was first called Musgorod, alternatively spelled Musgerod, with utter success the nation marched on. Musgorod saw the first government being created in early United Year 1 (2014), which was that of a dictatorship, though initially being referred to as a democratic socialist state-it was not. With the birth of the first nation under the city of Svechnograd (also spelled Svekhnograd), so too did the first armies arise in this era of development and changing times.
The first armies of Musgorod were very weak, usually consisting of 5-10 people each-whom were typically drawn from tributary states and aligned states. The city of Svechnograd gained popularity and rapidly attained a population of over 60 Citizen. During the Factional Era, the primary source of communication between citizens was Skype, the group chats are still open to this day-however they remain unused as of United Year 4 (2017).
The Legionnaire Period (2015-2017)
The Musgorodian regimes lasted almost one year United Year 1 (2014), June - United Year 2 (2015), May) and as it died, a new nation was born, the first empire. The first empire was declared in the summer of United Year 2 (2015) by the Dictator UGX. The first empire peaked at 173 total citizens, of which, ~90 were in the New Legion Armed Forces (NLAF) with the first organized units. These units were combat capable, more so than the Musgorodian and factional units of the past. The introduction of an improved hierarchy was the start of many reforms which created a Roman Republic-like expansionist nation-state.
The introduction of the New Legion eventually led to a need for policing and governmental organizations such as border patrol, public services, and an official Roman-styled dictatorship being declared. The New Legion was massive nation for its time and is considered to be ahead of its times in many departments and ideas later used within Dicsosegia and the many regimes of United Years 5-6 (2018-2019). From United Year 2-4 (2015-2017), the New Legion reigned supreme and was capable of many feats and was by far the most successful of any regimes thus far.
However, in January United Year 4 (2017), the Imperial government formed in the form resembling the Legion government known as the Legionnaire Imperium, or the Legionnaire Empire, collapsed. And, with the transitioning governments, the majority of people moved to Discord as opposed to Skype over the course of months. In United Year 2, Skype was primarily used which was changed in United Year 3 with the addition of discord as a secondary--eventually equivalent--source of communication. By United Year 4, Discord, then, became the official means of communication onward with Skype group chats still open but considered as a secondary means of communication.
The Dicsosegian Period (2018)
The Legionnaire Empire lasted until December of United Year 4 (2017), at which point a new empire was declared, the Dicsosegia regime rose to power, and the House of Conantro was formed in December of United Year 4 (2017). The Dicsosegian regime was partially successful in its goals as it, just as the Legionnaire Empire, lasted one year and this did not collapse until the Great Coalition-AntiFu War in August of United Year 5 (2018). The formation of the Protection Forces--a form of policing and paramilitary force for the purposes of imposing rule and order on determined targets, primarily allies in need on the 10th of November United Year 5 (2018)
The months following were stagnant, and eventually, led to the Conantro's regime taking power in December of United Year 5 (2018). Change in the military organization following the idea that military and espionage units should be nationality-based in order to allow for more fluid activity and cooperation between units. This major event coincided with the official institution of over 109 medals and awards on 17:53 -0500 GMT on Wednesday, February 6th, United Year 5 (2018). On February 9th, a Military Junta took over the empire in order to re-establish a chain of command and remove enemy targets of rebellious forces.
The Holy Legionnaire Period and the Ostercium-Ungyarian Periods (2018-2019)
On March 24th, United Year 5 (2018), the empire was reformed into the Grand Duchy of Ostercia, now the Archduchy of Austercy. At 22:56 EST on April 9th of United Year 5 (2018), the Holy Legionnaire Empire has occupied and annexed the Empire of Vonget, now known as the Duchy of Vongettia, under King John of Vonget. At 07:57 -0500 GMT on April 12th of United Year 5, the Imperial Commission of Australia (which was later abandoned) was established as a colony under Commissioner Shakira Viktoria Osterburg. On April 21, United Year 5 (2018), the Holy Legionnaire Empire was legitimized as a state and collapsed on May 8th, United Year 5 (2018) due to the unification of the imperial states forming Östercium-Úngeria--this marked the beginning the Dual Monarchy period. This collapsed in late August, changing the spelling to Osterricht-Ungyaria while remaining the same entity after countless wars brutalized the empire.
An age of decline had set in after the betray of several high officials. On November 27, the promotion of Rommel to Royal Marshal was given, at the same time the colony of Magareus under the Duchy of Vongettia began under the jursidication of Marshal Rommel. At 9:03 PM on the 23rd of December, United Year 6 (2019), the first Prince, Rogal Kharnski was given his title and rank. And that night, naught but an hour later, he formed a Legion of the Adeptus Athenas also known as “Death Lords”. This age of instability ended, on December 25, United Year 6, Emperor Francis IV Linúk. On the night of the 27th of December, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs was formed to administrate all colonies and puppets under imperial jurisdiction. Also, on the 28th of December at 10:54 PM -0500 GMT, Bruno of Linúk-Avançarius was given his title of Prince and formed the a Legion of Adeptus Athenas aka the “Musgorod” Legion, now known as 9th "Musgorodian Legion" Infantry Regiment.
On the 30th of December, United Year 6 (2018), the Adeptus Demeters formed, which is the recruitment arm of the imperial government. On 31st of December, United Year 6 (2019) at 12:41 AM (-0500 GMT) Marshal Security was created as a private security company which offers guns for hire as well as military technology, including vehicles, though this company disbanded a few months later. The Adeptus Metis formed in order as construction and imperial development agency.
The Isantine and CPQC Period (2020-2022)
Upon the coming of the New Year, on January 1st, United Year 6, at 9:57 PM the the Ministry of Mercantile Affairs formed for the purpose of being the financial and economic ministry of the Imperium. However, a new age of expansion was ushered in at 5:07 PM, on the 4th of January, United Year 6, when Emperor Francis IV Linúk declared the Concil Populusque Conantrean/Caiszarus/etc... (C.P.Q.C.). On January 5th at 6:06 PM the Ministry of Justice as a justice and police ministry as a means of establishing and keeping law and order.

On the 16th of February, the Krigszmerocht publicly displayed their army/ground forces insignia to both the military and civilian population. The Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture and the Brisanyagery Federation were all established on the 17th. This was the day that Adeptus’ became Ministries but also many ministries were renamed and given more functions. The Ministry of Education’s goal is to education as many CPQC citizens as possible, particularly students, while the Ministry of Culture tries to promote the Ostergeric culture and language. The Brisanyagery Federation was originally founded for the purpose of regulating and promoting Brisanyagery as a sport and to get people actively involved in said sport.

On May 9th, a new system for military mobilization was adopted with the Emperor, on the matter, stating: “Roughly fifteen-score days and four years ago, the New Legion instituted their mobilization system and--for the first time--had a system to conscript manpower into the armed forces. This server functioned as follows: Major politicians, Council Members(/Senators), and Generals gathered men of allied or citizen origins to their banner and would be responsible for both arming as well as leading them into battle. We will bring back this system to commemorate the soon coming 5th anniversary of the founding.”
Furthermore, May 10th was declared and celebrated “Mother’s Day”, and, on May 11th, a Isantine zodiac calendar and animals were adopted officially making United Year 6 to be the Year of the Dragon--with United Year 7 set to be the Year of the Leviathan.

For everyone that will read my piece, I want to tell you this: Thank you for your support and continuous growth towards the wellbeing and advancement of this community. I thank you all for supporting not only one another, but for supporting me. For those of you who knew me back when I was a mere private in the military, it has been an honor to serve in this empire. But I do not believe I am capable of holding this role forever. I have asked Franz to demote me, and to hopefully find someone who can fill my position and perform even greater feats than I have. I am proud of you all for your achievements and hope to see this community grow even larger than it is now. With my peaceful resignation, I truly do hope that this opens up a new gateway for possibilities, and new destinies that can be fulfilled. I will still be here to advise where it is needed. Again, thank you for this opportunity that I have been given. May the light shine down on this community, and bless those who embrace it.”
On June 9th, King Hugh of the British Commonwealth (who was officially declared Duke of Varenmark a day prior) gave his famous Varenheim Address: “My fellow citizens of Varenheim, and Varenese across the globe. It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you today. Over the past few weeks, as your Duke, I have witnessed a period of unprecedented growth for our Empire, and city. We have completed massive builds, and accomplished so much towards the progression of society at large. It is therefore with tremendous regret that I am hear to tell you it will have been in vain, as we will be moving the Grand Duchy of Varenmark, to Datearth. I say it will have been in vain, but not entirely so, for the bonds of friendship you will have made here, on this server, shall forever endure, and transcend servers and time. Now, you may have some questions as to how this transition will function; well, effective June 10th, we shall no longer focus our activity on this server, instead on Datearth, where our allies currently live. I understand that this may be difficult for you, as it was for us to make this decision, but rest assured you will retain all ranks, and we will see to it that you have a place of dwelling. We will now take questions.”
Furthermore, on June 9th, the Dominion of Canada of the Britannaen Prefecture had gone through a Coup D’Etat, which removed the communist regime, temporarily took power. The new monarchist regime has vowed to continue previous relations to the CPQC/Great Isantium.
