Aragan Empire

The Aragan Empire, also referred to as the Empire of Araga, the Aragan Union, the Aragan Federation, the Aragan Imperial Republic, the Greater Aragan State, or simply Araga, was a nation lasting four out of the seven Earth Worlds on Monsoonjr's Minecraft Server and the Mappercraft Minecraft Server. By the end of Earth World Mark VII it was the one of the two predominant nations left on the server, owning territory primarily in the eastern hemisphere. The nation was founded in Earth World Mark IV, initially being referred to as Armyima before changing its name to what it is today.

Government
The government of the Aragan Empire by the end of Earth World Mark VII was, in sum, a parliamentary system led by an unelected powerful head of state, within an asymmetric federation composed of states and territories. The division of executive, legislative, and judicial power in the nation was complex, with it having to be shared by multiple government bodies and positions depending on the situation. The supreme law of the land was the Aragan National Constitution, which detailed the nation's organization of government and fundamental principles.

Executive power in Araga was mostly held by its two main leaders: the Fuhrer, the Kaiser, and the Chancellor. The Fuhrer has definitive control over the nation for the most part and the ability to change ministries and government bodies. They are also the commander-in-chief of the army and can call for votes in the Reichstag. Since the modern establishment of the position, the Fuhrer has always been Skali. The Kaiser, while being a mostly ceremonial position, still has the responsibility to exercise authority, enforce laws, and ensure stability within the Aragan Empire. The latest Kaiser was Tomad, with the position being held by Extra before having been impeached by the Reichstag and replaced with by Skali. The Chancellor is the head of the Reichstag, essentially being the equivalent to a Prime Minister in how they are the majority leader of a given coalition. The position of Kaiser and Chancellor — especially after the implementation of the Aragan National Constitution — were most often held by the same person; each position's powers are heavily integrated with one another. The latest Chancellor was Tomad.

The legislature of Araga was the Reichstag. The Reichstag had the general ability to vote and pass laws which would had to be approved by the Fuhrer. Political parties were able to be created within the Reichstag, which would represent certain blocs or interests; however, left-wing parties and pro-Starymglian parties were repressed. These parties were able to form coalitions with each other in order to govern, with the leader of said coalition informally being called the Prime Minister or leader of the Reichstag. The Fuhrer tended to be the leader of the current coalition, although this technically did not need to be the case always.

A judiciary branch also existed in the nation, with there supposed to be a national court and national judge. In practice, most judicial power was exercised by the Reichstag.

Religion
The national religion of the Aragan Empire was Christianity, with equal tolerance for all denominations; it is the only religion recognized in the country's constitution. Religious minority rights were recognized in the constitution; however, Jews and people of non-Christian faith did not enjoy most of the rights as the rest of the population did.

History
Most of this section was ported from the previous wiki; some parts still need expansion or refinement.

The Beginning
Araga having secured claims over Germany expanded into the Netherlands, claiming the ruins of Vasque. However Vasque was weakened from many wars and Tomad, Razer and other players started working on rebuilding the city.

Araga at the beginning was surrounded by enemies, with the French to the south and the Estonians to the east. Araga was establishing relations with TL, but with Estonia hating TL, there was nothing Araga could do.

Construction of Vasque
The Construction of Vasque was probably one of the most important events in Earth World 4 history. The city got rebuilt within 2-3 hours. The palace got reformed into the "Reichstag" and it became the government building of Araga. Over the course of EW IV and EW V, the city would go through nearly constant renovations.

However, Vasque would also suffer from other wars.

In EW VII, many of the renovations done to Vasque would be undone.

Wars
The Eesti War:

The Estonians and Harinians wanted revenge (also Fedex thinking that he got looted by Tomad) after Pangea 2 and declared war on Araga. TL, Mat, and others came to help defend Vasque. Fedex and his soldiers pulled out of Vasque after about 1-2 hours of battling in Vasque. This was called one of the most fierce battles in Aragan history.

Franco-Aragan Skirmish of Alsace-Lorraine (ADP Union vs. France; French Victory):

Lapania wanted revenge on France and told Araga to declare war on France, which Araga however not wanting to fight in this war still fought and Araga lost the war. It was considered one of Araga's military failures in EW4.

THE ULTIMATE WAR (omg so ultimate xd):

Lapania declared war on Estonia and bombed Tallinn, Araga united with Lapania and formed Laurania. Araga helped in the bombings of Tallinn and Tomad went to Lyvonis but nothing was achieved after Batran told Lauranian soldiers to stay away from the city stating that he had nothing to do with the war. Lauranian soldiers bombed France's capital, Bordeaux, which led to the grieving of Havana. Lapania after the grieving of Havana, Lapania soon declared war on all of Europe (almost everyone). Tomad, Extra and TL thought that Mat was going nuts and the Vasque Riots started (later turned into the Vasque Revolution). This resulted in the breaking of the Lauranian Union and further fighting. After the dust settled, Batran decided to rollback a lot of the cities, damaged by the grieving. There was no clear winner in the war.

Second Eesti War/Rekt War/Eagle's Landing's Final Phase (i think fedex has autism): 

Tomad finds Fedex's "secret" base and destroys it and skirmishes continue in Europe. Vasque gets bombed again.

The Aragan War:

Araga declared war on Karpostyr because they were told that Laurania got betrayed by some of the people within Karpostyr. Tomad goes to Istra and griefs it, thinking that Multi was still in Karpostyr. Tomad then goes to Talin and is met with resistance, the Battle of Talin started and resulted the city's houses to be burnt, blown up by tnt, and mined. Rektistan led by Fedex then declared war on Araga, and starting pushing Tomad out of Talin. After the Battle of Talin, Fedex and his soldiers went to Vasque City and griefed it. When Fedex and his soldiers were griefing Vasque City, Tomad was griefing Istra a little bit more, and then started moving to Syracuse to burn it down. When Multi got on to see the griefings, he told Tomad that he declared independence from Karpostyr. After when Multi told Tomad that he declared independence, Batran tped Tomad and Multi to Minsk, the Battle of Minsk started resulting a little bloodbath. The griefings of Istra were seen to be illegal because Multi declared independence, resulting Tomad getting banned for 4 days.

Heijwa Siege of Vasque (Heijwa vs Araga, formerly Armyima):

The Heijwan Tribe, an NPC faction originally coming from Arabia but migrated to Poland after the Arabians took over their lands. They heard about the great cities of Western Europe and traveled to there. Desperate for treasure and supplies, the Heijwans sieged Vasque. The Auranian Corpsmen, a Vasco-Imperian group originally coming from the Imperian army in Aurania, threw open the gates in rebellion. Eventually the Heijwan siege was a failure, and whats left of the Imperian remnants, outside of Karpostyr, was killed off.

Second Heijwa Siege of Vasque (Heijwa vs Araga and Allies):

Heijwan Tribe tried an alternate approach and built trenches near Vasque, the Araganians built similar and both raided each other for an hour before the Heijwan Siege failed and they fell back. After this siege, the Heijwa tribe split into splinter groups and headed for other parts of Europe.

Estonian Independence:

Freezepond declared Estonia to be independent from Fedex, with the backing of Araga. Fedex being in the outer world with his secret base, lost one of his important cities in Europe.

Jay's War:

The War has been divided into two stages: "Jay's War on Fedex" which promptly led to the "Lapanian-Starymglian War" through Fedex's participation. It started with Jayslastname (ingame Jamesyn?), declared war on Fedex without a casus belli other than "F#@$ Fedex", a small skirmish was made until both sides declared white peace shortly after getting bored. However, soon after, Mat had asked Batran and Fedex for land in Britain, their hesitancy caused Mat to demand it. Fedex said, with Jay's War on Fedex in mind, "I am tired of being pushed around" and formed Rektistan and declared war on Mat. Brief skirmishes were made with several observers, however when Tomad offered to become a mercenary to Mat to join the action, Fedex got really mad and "pulled a TL" and declared war on Aragan Union, despite Batran's protests against it. Tomad in hand, declared war on Starym traveled there with his army to grief. Tomad claims that Toadster "betrayed him" and Toadster wants to join Starym, Fedex and soon Batran got suspicious and allowed Toadster to be on their side but not in their faction. Tomad later soon threatened Batran (and Fedex), that they should rollback Vasque (which was flooded by Fedex and his crew), or else they will form a militia against them (and maybe do it every world). La Rochelle got caught up when Aragan Union raided it. After all this, both sides soon agreed that they should end the war. Batran managed to re-establish communication with Fedex and convinced him to agree with a rollback for all cities (since La Rochelle and other neutral cities was damaged in the war). Fedex, Tomad, and Mat decided to make a peace treaty. It ended with the treaty of Talinn.

Second Annexation of La Rochelle:

King of the City State of La Rochelle, willingly joined the Aragan Union, on the following terms: He becomes General of the Aragan Navy, and if the AU were to go to war, the former Rochelais land, can declare neutrality, within the Union.

Alliance with Lapania
Araga was looking for allies, finally they settled an alliance with Lapania and even had a brief unification with Lapania, which was called "Aurania." Tomad aka Jon521 was pretty unhappy with this name, considering it had nothing to do with Araga but with Aurania, another nation in Rhobar's Server and Monsoon's server. Note that this union ended after the 'ultimate war' and before the HRE and ADP were formed.

Imperialism and Expansion, EWs IV and V
After the many wars and constant turmoil in Europe, Araga wanted to expand silently. Some of it's previous members had been from the now dead Maekoria, in Australia. This was the first colony to be made, as Aragans reclaimed and renovated the outposts in Australia. The region was renamed to 'Ostralasia.' Next, Asuka, a large nation in southern Africa, united with Araga, securing Aragan control over that region. Afterwards, the congo and eastern Africa would see heavy colonial expansion from Araga. During this time, the ruins of the old Tamil empire were also reclaimed by Araga, and a mass colonization effort would begin for India as a whole, with the north, Burma, and Pakistan all beign colonized. Araga forced Korea to unite with Araga later on in EW IV. This opened up Aragan interest in other continents, on which there had been only brief interest before - Eastern Asia, Southern Africa, and the Pacific had seen relatively little development or settlement before these colonization programs. The most developed areas claimed by Araga were Asuka and Australia, but the majority of Aragan colonization was through construction of new outposts.

Cold War
Araga and Starym had a minor cold war in EW4, however it was not as big as the one in EW5 and EW6.

Unifications
Foundation of the Holy Roman Empire:

TL, Tomad, Serbian, Anda, and Extra meet in Vasque City and, after an hour of discussion, found the Holy Roman Empire. The HRE subsequently elects Anda as Emperor by a slim margin.

ADP Union:

Darmia, Araga and Panathaea unite into the ADP Union after the fall of the HRE. The ADP Union had tons of land in Europe (from the Netherlands to Ukraine). The Union was formed to protect Europe from foreigners and Estonia. It was one of the first attempts to make a European Union. However, this Union would not last after Panathaea left and later on Darmia would leave.

Araga would unite with Asuka, La Rochelle and Korea, having their influence throughout the globe.

Cold War 2.0
Starym and Araga had a cold war, seeing who would be the best superpower in the world. New inventions and weapons would help expand both nation's powers.

Construction
Araga in EW5 was growing very fast, after the vast Vasque expansionism, Araga wanted to make other major cities through Aragan lands. Copenhagen, Berlin and Charleston would be created.

Superpower
Araga in EW5 reached superpower status, rivaling the Pan American Union and Starym. Everyone basically wanted to show how big their dicks were.

Wars
Mat's Revenge War:

Mat declared war on the whole world, all the nations around the world thought he was a madman (also pretty retarded). He would be forced to be in Charleston and be killed multiple times. He would grief other cities, but the grieving would have minor damages. Mat was being tired of getting hated on by multiple people, yet he also stated that he was trolling. He would later apologize in Rockford Hills or Skype.

"Occupation" of Vasque:

Tensions have became known when Starym discovered an alleged spy in their ranks associated with Araga. They angrily kicked out the spy and "declared war on Araga". Because of the little to no members of Araga were online at the time, Starym swiftly "occupied" Vasque, claiming to raid and grief it. Eventually this caused some drama, leading to Fedex saying that it was all a "prank", calming things down. An NAP was still re-affirmed later.

The Starym-Araga War (mainly PAU, "Lapania", and Starym vs Araga and Finn):

The war was mainly based around the three superpowers and primarily fought in Lyvonis and Vasque and not rest of the world, with only half of the factions invvolved. It dated back to Staryms prank occupation of Vasque, after this Aragans began to fear war is coming as rumors flood around that Starym was planning an attack and break the NAP. The Aragans concluded they need to attack first It started with Araga catching Starym by surprise, Gathering around what the Starymglians could ; they tried to save Lyvonis, unluckily for them, the city had taken serious damage thanks to people already online and not able to fight back the ambush ; While Lyvonis was griefed, an aragan member was banned when he accidentally broke beds in Lyvonis ; Extra. The war is mainly divided into two major battles and a couple minor ones. The war from here would come down to The First Battle of Lyvonis, Mich was only one on at the time and was attacked, and later left. Batran gathered at least 5 people (including Fedex) to storm the server and help counter attack. The battle of Lyvonis was indecisive as Batran's bed was broken by Extra, for some reason people left Lyvonis (probably to return to Vasque to prepare for another assault) and a temporary ceasefire was undeclared. Lyvonis was heavily griefed during this time. However, this gave time for Fedex's Reorganization to launch an assault on the undefended Vasque (which later turned out to be regrouped by Aragans), while Batran was left to lead the defense (although it was only him early on). A few minutes later, Fedex attacked Vasque on his own, with the bare reinforcements of Jeriel (who also provided supplies to defense and offense), Fedex manages to stay alive and grief until more people could come in, The fighting was down to Vasque, the battle raged for half an hour, until the first ceasefire was declared, then broken a few minutes after, as Fedex claimed it to be "So lag goes away ". This gave way to the first talks of peace, with Tomad suggesting rollbacks for both cities and white peace (but was denied by majority of Starym). The Aragan forces started to leave, and Slime__Time left Araga because his house was griefed. After the ceasefire was broken, the fight was on, with even more lag, and Starym's inferiority on the field, Vasque's design made it easier to the Starym soldiers to sneak behind and cause damages to the city, eventually, the Aragans got torn down by the Starym Elites which started to arrive late in the war. Tomad claimed that Multi had helped in the planning (Operation: Imperia), leading to suspicion within the Starym lines butt was quickly dismissed "for the sake of unity" and would be dealt with later. The war went on late into the night, with most members offline in both factions, it was down to about 5 people, and only one in Araga's side ; Tomad. After an hour of guerrila fighting from Tomad, and as everyone was sick of the fighting, Tomad agreed to peace. The peace treaty hasn't been signed, but the terms are already decided (Rollbacks, with 7 stacks of TNT, 10 stacks of diamonds, a mending book, Starym and Araga can't be at war with each other for rest of the world (by default), and territorial gains) and Tomad later accepted them. Extra and Asdf's bans would last until the 5th, as they were by accident. The war ended on January 5th with the treaty of Helsinki (see below)

The Starym-Araga War (Continued):

After making the treaty, Batran copy-pasted the terms of conditions Tomad agreed to on skype into the Treaty of Helsinki. People teleported to Helsinki and began signing the treaty. It changed when Tomad was the last one to be given it. However, despite the agreement, Tomad had gotten mad when the British isles was demanded. He claimed that he didn't agree specifically to the British Isles part and broke the ceasefire and attacked Bordeaux. Fedex responded by raiding Crimea. Eventually, Tomad reached an agreement with Batran that instead of getting Scotland and Ireland, Starym would gotten Alps and Ireland alone. Eventually, Tomad agreed to sign the treaty. The Final treaty following demands from Araga (in exchange for allowing rollbacks): Rollbacks, with 7 stacks of TNT, 10 stacks of diamonds, a mending book, Starym and Araga can't be at war with each other for rest of the world (by default), and territorial gains of Ireland and Alps. Controversy later stir that they agreed to ALL cities and while the other side said they agreed on rollbacking only Lyvonis and Vasque. Making Batran rollbacking all the cities, but later planned to only revert only certain ones back later. Many parts of the treaty were still controversial and not fully accomplished.

Starym-Araga Relations
Araga and Starym relations were pretty stale at the time, but they once even agreed on making an alliance which many people thought was weird. But this alliance would not last long with many wars between Araga and Starym breaking out.

Expansion in the East
Expansion in the East was done by Araga, after inspired by "Manifest Destiny," Araga moved in to claim Storckberg and started buying Latvia and Lithuania from Estonia. Crimea/Ukraine would be given to Araga from Asuka.

Golden Era
Earth World 6 was the Golden Era for Araga, cities like Berlin, Munich, Wurzburg, Copenhagen, Crimea, Danzig and other cities were springing up throughout Araga. National Wonders would be created, such as the Brandenburg Gate, Madras Palace, Reichstag and to some degree "Fortress Netherlands" aka Vasque City.

Cold War 3.0
The Cold War in EW6 was between the PAU, Araga and Starym, this time it was pretty fuckin' chilly, with both nations having insane amounts of wealth and weaponry. Once again, everyone was measuring how big their dicks were.

Relations
Araga had tons of relations with many nations, such as the PAU, Starym and the Maple Kingdom. Araga had good relations with the Pan American Union and being neutral with Maple. However Starym and Araga were seen as rivals in Europe.

Expanding Cities
Berlin turned from a crater (from the Ultimate War) into a major city in Araga and possibly Europe. The Political Capital of Araga, which it was called by the leader at the time Tomad. Copenhagen also became a major city, with Zacarin working hard to turn the Nordic Countries into something that would light hope to the North. Danzig was also created by TheCambrian, it was the capital of the Autonomous Region of Poland-Lithuania, a powerful duchy in the East.

Wars
Juji-Jiji Invasion of Copenhagen:

The first barbarian siege in EW6, the Jiji tribe from Poland had been split apart since Ew5 due to Aragan incursions after they had attacked Vasque. One became the Juji and the other became the Jiji. Eventually they managed to find each other again and formed a confederation to take revenge on their enemies. They began by sieging Copenhagen, who is defended by Zacarin and SolaceES. There was a total of six flags that Zacarin and SolaceES must defend, eventually the Juji-Jijis breached the city and captured three of the six flags before being pushed back by Zacarin and Solace (after dying so many times). Zacarin and Solace met the final boss and defeated it before dying themselves. In the end they won the siege.

Siege of Lyvonis and Berlin:

Lord Karutemo came up with a proposal to "attack" Starym by occupying their capital. Agnius and Tomad agreed with this idea and the three went off to attack Lyvonis, who had a gathering of ten members at the time. The Aragans took the watchtower before being pushed outside before taking the watchtower again, before being all killed. Later on the aragans held a meeting in Berlin, they were later "pranked" when Starymians launched fire arrows at the roof prompting the siege of Berlin. After the "event" they all went home.

The St. Petersburg Crisis:

There was a height in tensions when Pibb had claimed Siberia and Japan, causing Multi and Pibb to have an argument over skype. Aragan Parliament voted to unclaim Siberia unanimously, but Pibb had largely ignored the decision. Tomad got annoyed of Pibb and kicked Russia out from the Union and exiled him. Tomad later on sent Aragan forces to occupy St. Petersburg and other outposts in Russia. Pibb, Extra and Tomad later made a deal on downscaling this crisis and ended it.

War in Russia (Araga vs. Russian Rebels "in Exile in Siberia"; Russian Political Victory, Aragan Military victory):

After the St. Petersburg Crisis, "many" Russians wanted independence and an end to their puppet status from the Aragan Federation. They called for a referendum for independence and stated a lot of reasons on why they wanted this referendum. Many members of the Reichstag found some of the reasons behind this referendum to be "dumb" or "not making any sense", Tomad had grown tired of the Russians and gave their lands to Thundermaster99 and exiled Pibb and his friends from the Federation. Pibb, still not recognizing this, somehow returned to being Russia and declared themselves to be the "Russian Revolutionaries" (Basically Russian Government "in Exile in Siberia") and doing several attacks against the Federation's major cities and even St. Petersburg itself. Tomad later sent in forces to grief St. Petersburg as payback to Pibb's attacks. After the attacks, the Aragans had got annoyed of Pibb and just thought if we just left him to be, we wouldn't have to deal with Pibb. So the Federation gave Russia full independence. They would not re-take Russia as long as they didn't annoy the Aragans. The Russian casualties in this war were very high meanwhile the Aragans had zero casualties. GSG Nine (Aragan Special Forces) played a big role in the war by taking out "terrorist" threats and taking out Russian bases.

War in France:

Skali really wanted Araga to intervene in the partitioning of France. Tomad however not wanting much with France decided to just go with the plan. GSG 9 forces would fight the Starymian soldiers which turned France into a zone of constant warfare. The GSG 9 Forces would be outnumbered 1 to 3, with some minor support from Yes_Im_Hacking and other players in Araga. This would be considered a big military victory for Araga, but a loss in political victories. In this war Araga gained Alsace-Lorraine and Calais.

Pan-American Civil War:

After a poll in the Pan-American Union chat, of whether they should join Araga or not, gained a 'yes' majority, it sent a small panic throughout those in PAU. Mat and Fiyu and others declared a coup in the Pan American Union, however a handful of Loyalists to Dan would disagree with the coup and the civil war started. Mat thought Araga was supporting the Loyalists and declared war on Araga. Araga would cobble monster Havana with Asdf (Arabia). Later the war would end with an Aragan/Loyalist/Arabia victory.

The Second Araga-Starym War (Araga, Columbia, Hispaniola?, Delthea?, Malatya, Arabia vs. Starymglia, Maple Union; No real winner):

Also known as World War III to many, the war took place at September 4th 8:30 PM EST to September 6th 8:30 PM EST, peace talks began at 7:12 PM EST but a treaty was finally passed at 8:52PM EST. The war was considered to be one of the most destructive wars in Mappercraft history with almost every (mostly major) city being griefed in some way. The war started when players gathered in Catan to mess around and loot, Fedex was called to dispose of them. However, a similar thing happened in Lyvonis soon after when people started to place doors everywhere as a prank. Araga, who became more confident from days earlier from planning, then demanded their Pre-Helsinki Treaty borders back, initially including; Scotland, Ireland and Czechia, land losses that had been a point of lost pride for the nation. Starym refused the demand, concerned others would take advantage, and also still frustrated from Arabia's meme war earlier. Fedex then taunted Araga, refusing the demand and mocking them. Araga declared war soon after when Cambrian ordered Tomad to declare war on Starym, and Maple who joined in soon after. Imperia affirmed neutrality, and Arabia declared war on Starym. Fedex (and friends) went to Germania to attack major cities whilst some Aragans cobble monstered Lyvonis, doing severe damage, and then greifing other various cities like London and Catan. The Columbians, seeing Maple distracted in the war by the Arabians and Aragans, declared war on Maple (with Auburn league required to follow in soon after, despite claims by factions like Delthea that they were neutral) causing Freezepond of Maple to turn to Columbia and attack a couple cities there, shortly after the war declaration, Fedex declared war on Columbia honouring their alliance with Maple. A truce was offered by Araga at the end of the day, as it was pretty much a work/school day tomorrow, but Starym refused. The war did not conclude on this day, instead, a stalemate developed as people logged off for the night. The damage after the first day to the cities was large: Lyvonis was a wasteland, London and Berlin had both been moderately bombed, Catan and other cities throughout Europe and America sustained minor damages.

The Second Araga-Starym War (Continued):

The third day of the war was pretty much the calmest time. While Tomad began to talk with Batran about peace and Aragan demands, there was several attempts by Starymians/Maples and Aragans/Columbians/Arabians to grief each other's cities, leading to small skirmishes, with varying degrees of effect. Later on in the day at roughly 7:00 PM EST, Batran and Tomad talked again about various things regarding peace, Tomad gathered other major leaders of the war in a skype call and Dan made a document for the peace treaty, soon to be called Treaty of La Rochelle after some debates (Previous proposed names: Treaty of DDD, Treaty of Treaty of Treaty). The Aragan Side hoped for at least some land gains while the Starymian Side had mainly aimed for White Peace. After some talks, they agreed to exchange land and resources and the treaty was finalized at roughly 8:52 PM EST despite the war de jure ending 22 minutes earlier. Czechia and Scotland became Aragan in exhange for Alsace-Lorraine and Trabzon being ceded to Starym. Arabia gained Adana and some of Interior turkey. Maple was paid diamonds, and in exchange it lost all of it's Russian and Scandinavian lands to Russia and Araga except for Estonia.

Unifications
Araga had many unifications in EW6. Russia would join the Aragan Federation, however they would leave and then re-join the Federation. Iroth in late EW6 would join the Aragan Federation.

Politics
In EW4, Politics in Araga wasn't really talked about as much in EW6, the only major political parties in EW4 were the Communist Party which dominated Storckberg and the East of Araga. The Nationale Front (Nationalist/Fascist) which dominated the West of the nation. However the differences between both parties, they agreed to have peaceful and good terms as national pride is rooted in Aragan politics

After the fall of the Communist Party, Right Wing politics became dominate in Araga.

In EW6 however, politics was talked about a lot, the Reichstag aka the Parliament would change Araga as debates and agreements were held there. The Nationale Front (now Conservative/Nationalist) was still alive at the time and enjoyed their political power over Araga. However there was a rivalry between the Social Nationalists (aka the Aragan Revival Party led by Skali) and the Isolationist Fascists (led by Extratere). Right Wing Libertarians were neutral in politics with TheCambrian leading the political party. Near the end of EW6, the leading party became the Aragan Revival Party which made Skali the leader of Araga.

Aragan Federal Crisis:

Due to instability and conflict within the Aragan Government, a brief crisis bordering on civil war occurs within Araga. Tensions between Extra and Skali split Araga into two: Extra leaving the union with some of his loyal client states and Skali taking up the mantle of the rest of Araga. Two duchies also break away. PAU responded by sending a team to support Skalis government (although Lapania supported Poland.) Starym responded by declaring official neutrality before stationing troops in southern France. PAU turned back due to their own troubles at home. Fearing it could affect them also, Starym (Batran) formed ATLOS (Anti Terrorist Linkage Operations of Starym). After some time, a full civil war is avoided and an agreement is made to reunify all of the lost members and lands back into the Aragan system. Proposals to reform and restructure the Aragan government are accepted and meetings set to occur within a few days after the reunification.

Earth World Mark VII
In the aftermath of the Second Aragan-Starym War and by the beginning of Earth World Mark VII, Araga was put into position as the most powerful nation of the Earth World series. During the time between the end of Earth World Mark VI in late September, 2017 and April, 2019, the Aragan discord server had formed and the structure of the government had been sophisticated with the drafting of their official constitution.

Earth World Mark VII began on April 21, 2019. As the world began members of the Aragan Empire had begun to undertake several initiatives, which included the "Vasque Restoration Project," a plan to tear down the water-insulated superstructure that had dominated the city since Earth World Mark V, and an infrastructure plan, which most importantly facilitated the creation of new ice highways and the furbishing of currently existing ones. Despite lower activity in terms of Aragan members regularly playing on the server, morale was still high and Araga was by far the most active nation.

[WIP]

Companies
The Aragan Empire throughout its lifespan has enjoyed its various companies that helped compose the nation's economy, whether it be public companies created and centrally managed by the government, stated-owned enterprises that had to undergo a process of nationalization, or privately-owned businesses. As of the end of Earth World Mark VII these included:

Aragan Public Companies
As dictated by the constitution of the Aragan Empire, there exists several companies that are centrally managed by the Reichstag alone. The most relevant ones included:


 * Araga nationaler Transport (AnT): A publicly-owned company whose purpose is to facilitate the construction, management, or destruction of various transportation networks, which included ice highways, railroads, and pedestrian roads.
 * Bank von Araga: The central bank of Araga which housed the valuables held and directly managed by the government.
 * Waffenfabrik Vasque City: The state-owned company responsible for the creation of weapons, armor, and tools and the distribution of said things to the population of Araga.

Krimean Fried Chicken
Krimean Fried Chicken was a company ran by Vikkezi that exclusively sold cooked chicken produced from his automatic chicken farms in Crimea. It is one of the longest lasting companies in the Earth World series.

Danzig Stone Refinery Concern
Danzig was a company founded by Cambrian_. Its headquarters was in the city of Danzig in the state of Poland-Lithuania. [WIP]

Frikom
Frikom was a company founded by LordKarutemo. [WIP]

Menders
Main article: Menders

Menders, also known as Menders Inc. was a company founded by AbolishSuburbs. Its purpose was to sell valuable items such as enchanted books, maxed-out gear, elytra, and shulker boxes as well as other items such as fish, salmon, and saddles. It officially became a public company in Earth World Mark VII after the drafting of the constitution of Araga.

Geography
By the end of Earth World Mark VII, the Aragan Empire was one of the two predominant nations left on the server along with the Pan American Union. The country virtually took control of all of the Eastern Hemisphere, asides from France, after annexing the Empire of Starym and its vassal of Imperia. The country spanned from Asuka in South Africa to Russian Siberia.

States and Territories
