History
The history of Christos can be divided into 3 era: The Colonial Era, The Empire Era, The Republic Era.
Colonial Era
The Colonization The start of the The Chris Empire begins with a young man named Chris being picked to colonize a new world for the United States government. Among the other people chosen he was the designated leader of the group and although he was working for the United States government, he knew that the U.S.'s reach was too thin. So while on the voyage to the new planet he came up with ideas of breaking away from the U.S. and making a new nation on the new planet. When they landed on the new planet he christened it Christos Prime and claimed it for the U.S. He then discovered the colony of Benedict Town in honor of his last name. As time passed the colony grew and expanded, discovering new areas to settle, new neighbors to meet and new ways to live. The U.S. sent dozens of aid, tools, food, weaponry and more settlers to expand their new territory. The new government headed by Chris thrived becoming governed in a totally different way then the U.S. Seeing this different for of government me used, worried the U.S. So they sent a new governor to take the place of Chris. With that Chris moved out of Benedict Town and founded a new settlement called Chris City.
The Revolt & Gaining Independence Time passed but as was predicted most people liked and missed the way Chris ruled Benedict Town and disliked the Governor the U.S. installed. The U.S. governing style was out of touch to the locals that talks of revolution spread from Chris City to Benedict Town to each city and town. Many people started to leave U.S. controlled cities and towns, like Benedict Town, and move to Chris City; arming themselves with the aid that was given, brought and stolen during the journey. Then the War for Christos Independence began. First starting with small raids and burning farmland to seizing towns. The battle plan was to march from city to city before arriving to Benedict Town and laying siege to the town. Many towns surrendered peacefully accepting the government that they had before but for some loyalist towns it was pure war. Then Chris and his followers arrived at the outskirts of Benedict Town, waiting for them were a multitude of U.S. soldiers and armed loyalists. The battle lasted for 5 days then on the fifth day the U.S. retreat trumpets sounded and a transport ship left the town. With that the people chose Chris to be their King eternal, and Chris declared that the newly formed nation would be called The Chris Empire. Two months after the war a formal independence declaration from the U.S. delivered by the former Governor was given to the new nation. Thus solidifying the independence of The Chris Empire.
