Kingdom of the Netherlands

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, commonly referred to as Holland, was a nation situated on the European continent. It encompassed the modern day countries of the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, most of England, and Wales. It bordered France to the south (until France was dissolved) and Hoeland to the east. The Netherlands was the biggest European country in terms of population, with a then-staggering fourteen members. It would be one of the leading nations on the server up until its dissolution. The country would be dissolved on January 10th, being a founding state of the Roman Republic. It was one of the only countries not to be revived following Rome’s collapse, instead becoming an alleged illegal war faction (of which its leader was banned).

History
The United Provinces of the Netherlands were formed the day before the server opened, October 23rd. The members quickly moved to obtain superior gear, and built the city of Amsterdam. Due to this, as well as the fact that many veteran players were in the nation, caused the international community to generally consider Holland to be the leading nation in the game. Holland quickly took on this mantle in regards to international affairs, harrassing their southern neighbor France due to a border dispute, and dealing with terrorists such as Fiyu and Sazo's Bigmanland. Also, Holland contributed heavily to the collapse of the Vincentarian Federation of Mappercraft Colonies, through constant mockery, as well as several different Dutch-supported occupations of the Vincentarian capital. However, Holland's domestic policies would be less than ideal, as Multi would choose to revolt, destroying some of Amsterdam and prevent interference in the Indonesian-Northern European War. However, Holland would later lead a coalition to destroy Indonesia in the Indonesian War. In the peace deal, Holland would acquire the colonies of Sulawesi and England. After the Slavic-Egyptian War, Holland was generally considered the only major power in Europe. When the former members of Indonesia returned to the server, Holland would lead another coalition in the Antarctic War, once again destroying them. Eventually, the first prime minister of Holland, Bonito Pibb, would gain more power in the government, forcing other members like LordKarutemo, Agnius06, and AbolishSuburbs out. With these players gone, Pibb was able to enact his Roman Empire unification plan, convicing and coercing almost all European and North African nations to join the new Roman Republic. This would spell the end of Holland as a force in the world, as they were not revived following the Collapse of Rome. The minor nation of Old Pandsburg would occupy the ruins.

Leader of the Kingdom
Originally, the Netherlands was formed as a sort of anarcho-monarchist union, with Skali as a relatively inactive absolute king. However, due to Multi's Revolt, Agnius, Skali, and AbolishSuburbs would get together and form a Provisional Absolute Dictatorship to transfer the nation over to a democratic consitutional monarchy. This would succeed in an election on December 25th, 2020. Bonito_Pibb would win the election. However, no other elections would ever be held, due to the nation's unification into the Roman Republic, which had its own system of elected government.

Conflicts
Multi's Revolt: Occured on November 14th, 2020. Lower-class member of Holland, Multi, tired of his relatively poor position in the country, launched a revolution. In response, Agnius06 declared himself temporary dictator in order to supress this revolt. Dutch members AbolishSuburbs and StanFlash supported Agnius in defeating Multi.

Indonesian War: Occured on November 17th to November 18th. Holland (as well as much of the rest of the world) feared Indonesian aggression, especially after the Indonesian-Northern European War (which resulted in the destruction of the United Territories of Northern Europe). For this reason, the Dutch decided to act premtively, and declare war first. A large collection of volunteers supported them. However, Indonesia decided that anyone volunteering against them was a sworn enemy, and thus declared official war on any nation that had a volunteer to Holland. This resulted in an extremely large coalition against them, containing (in addition to Holland) Vinland, France, Hoeland, Egypt, Almondia, Sevalonic Federation, Slavic Empire, Svedland, Joseon, and Sardinia-Corsica. It is because of this that this war is considered the second in the Coalition Wars. After a day of fighting, the Indonesian members were banned in a controversial decision by then-owner Vegatable, resulting in a Dutch victory. In the peace treaty, Holland recieved the lands of England, Wales, and Sulawesi. The only other nation in the coalition to get land out of the peace deal was Hoeland, recieveing Cornwall.

Antarctic War: Occured on December 8th. After Vegatable was removed from ownership, the new owner Multi decided controversially to allow the former members of the Indonesia to be unbanned. They immediately created a nation in Antarctica, and proceeded to act similar to previously. Holland once again decided that they would strike first, declaring war as soon as possible after the required 3 day war immunity period for new nations. This time, Antarctica did not declare war on any nation that volunteered. Holland would still recieve a signifigant amount of volunteers from France, the Red Empire, and the Gator Federation. After about 2 hours, Antarctica was forced to capitulate. Holland annexed their land (although unclaiming it shortly after). After this, the members of Antarctica would go seperate ways, setting up different nations. After a day or two, some of them were banned for attempting to loophole the rules. The ones who were not banned went inactive, ending the coalition wars
