The Greater Authority (German: Die Größere Autorität), commonly just historically known as The Authority (German: Die Autorität) and also by its abbreviation TA, is a Discord-based mock government based on Germany. Being historically one of the most influential servers in the community, it is also the most controversial one due to its far-right tendencies.
Founded originally as a German Reich server, it began being more soft on its views, which were fascist and extremist, causing their deletion at numerous points in their history. In 2021, they started gaining a lot more influence as a result of their plans to rebuild following the First Soviet-Authority war, which would make them surpass the 1000 members mark.
TA is a Constitutional Monarchy with a Kaiser and a Chancellor, with frequent elections. Despite the historic right-wing populist tendencies, several lighter ideologies managed to prevail in the leadership, which would help with its view on the international stage. In mid-2024, a two-party system was adopted between the Keitelist Party and the Clear Sky Party.
History
Pre-2018
The server was first founded under the name "The German Reich" by Wilhelm Keitel. The server was initially following the paths of direct fascism, and did not gain much attention due to its size, which had between 50 and 100 members. Not much is known of this period, as it was in a tribal state. However, it is known that the server was banned later on by Discord due to extremism. it is claimed by groups that during this time, the "German Reich" was engaging in small conflicts with other groups, most notable being the "Cryzecian Authority", who on a separate wikipedia, claim this period as the "First Wilhelmic wars"
it is also alleged that it was this conflict that Wilhelm Keitel, who held the alias "Adolf Hitler" had gotten his name from this group, Wilhelm has claimed that this is false.
First iterations
Founding of The Authority
On May 10, 2018, Wilhelm Keitel, along with Red Keitel, decide to make a new server, under the name "The Authority". The server would distance itself from the extremist symbols that made itself bannable, and tried to represent a mix between the Kaiserreich and elements from modern-day Germany.
It originally rose up to 200 members, until June 2nd, when it got banned again due to fascism. The next day, it reformed, this time renouncing to fascism in its ideology.
Second server, formation of the Berlin Pact
The second iteration of TA oversaw its first major growth within the Mock Government community, gaining up to between 400 and 600 members by mid-2020.
In July of the same year, a revolutionary force would start in The Authority. Known as the Authority Rebellion Army (ARA), its objective was to destroy the leadership of TA, and take it over. They were however eradicated in late August-early September.
On September 2nd, following threats from the Kingdom of Poland, The Authority declared war on them, and began nuking the server numerous times. Josef, the owner of the Polish server, would then give his concerns to Julius, the leader of the Roman Empire. This would backfire, as Julius and Wilhelm Keitel would agree to becoming allies, and Julius helping to destroy Josef's Poland.
In light of this, Josef decided to inform the League of Servers of the situation. This would cause The Authority and Rome to be suspended from the organization. In reaction, they declare war on the League of Servers. They would form the Berlin Pact, a military alliance led by The Authority.
Within a matter of a few days, the League of Servers would lose members, causing many to flee during the attacks in October. Eventually, the League would get nuked by The Authority.
Soviet-Authority war of 2020
See also: Soviet-Authority war of 2020
On October 26, 2020, The Authority invaded the Socialist Republic of Norway, which was aligned with Leon's USSR. This would cause the latter to issue an ultimatum to The Authority, which they would deny. Within a few days, the Warsaw Pact declared war on The Authority, causing the rest of the Berlin Pact to be involved.
In the early beginnings of the war, both sides would engage in subversive operations. However, Keitel ordered a strike on Bulgaria, which would cause the server to get nuked later on, causing help to get sent by Leon.
A few days later, on November 21, elections would occur in the Socialist Republic of Romania, which were rigged by The Authority to get control. This would not last long, as Leon ordered to take back Romania, which succeeded. TA therefore had to pull back from Romania.
However, on November 24, the USSR would launch an operation to mass-report The Authority, which succeeded. This would cause the server to get banned again, and would divide TA into two major groups; The Keitel loyalists, who believed into their own reconstruction, and Peter Muller, who believed in rebuilding a new server as quickly as possible to prepare for the Keitels to return. The former would request support from Rome.
In Muller's server, Gran Colombia would gain administrator in the server, and on the same day, decided to raid and spam the server, turning it into an occupied server. This would mark the end of the war.
