History

Foundation of the Allied States

The Allied States of Avergnon are a collection of corporate ruled and directed entities that have over time built one another up through a series of trade unions and pacts of necessity. While having only recently pulled themselves into any significant attention from the world at large, Avergnonian history dates back many centuries.

The original founding of the Allied States is rooted in the signing of The Treaty of Vessalia (Vessalia is the central duchy of Avergnon, also home to the current governmental sector). The treatise was proposed as a solution necessary to end an increasingly violent series of conflicts between the seven most powerful Trade-Princes of the Avergnonian region. This conflict, remembered as The Brother’s War, was the defining moment for the fledgling conglomeration. As the various ruling trading companies exhausted their wealth and manpower on Land Disputes between themselves, the rival nation of Ghalsaint made use of the moment of weakness to execute a quick, and decisive attack of opportunity against the Avergnonian region.

Ghalsaint almost succeeded in their endeavor, marauding their way almost into the heart of Vessalia before being halted by a unified Royal Avergnonian Military and pushed back to their homeland (During this extended pushback of Ghalsaint’s invading army the 322nd Royal Dragoons-- led by none other than Lewis Pontegnone himself, distinguished themselves as a venerated regiment with honors standing to this day). As a result of this war, a unified Avergnon experienced an economic Golden Age, though it was bought by a bloody and horrific conflict, costing the Allied States nearly 19,000 lives. The Brother's Stand Memorial was constructed following the war to honor both the unification of Avergnon and those who bravely gave their lives for the fledgling nation and rests in the center of Vessalia.

The founding treatise was orchestrated by the young businessman and war hero, Lewis Pontegnone, who would go on to become the first Elected Archon of the Allied States. Lewis would lead the Allied States into their economic Golden Age and be remembered and venerated as one of the most honored of the young nation’s ruling figures.

The Treaty of Vessalia revolutionized Avergnonian politics, establishing the Economic Electors System still used by the Avergnonian Elector Counts to this day (See Avergnonian Government for further political system explanation). As well as a host of additional reforms and institutions within the newly formed ruling party in Avergnon which still stand today.

These include Avergnonian Military Reforms such as, Compulsory Royal Avergnonian Military Service of all males of the Avergnonian Central-Class, the institution of the Avergnonian Dredge-Class Draft Reform, the legalization of Avergnonian Wartime Acquisition of Private Militaries Reform, and Avergnonian Emergency Wartime Industry Acquisition Reform ( Also the long outdated Mandatory Musket Ownership Bill ). Civil Reforms such as, Avergnonian Independent Income Rights, the Avergnonian Corporation Freedom Act, the Avergnonian Financial-Class Voting Regulations, and the Avergnonian Private-Sector Investment Act. And finally the signing of the Constitution of Roiseuller established the standing rights of the citizenry of Avergnon.
