DAY 5: 2014, SYRIXIA'S CRAZIEST YEAR
Instead, Harrington spoke vehemently about liberty, and democracy. Her final remarks are forever remembered still today. They are, "I know not what path others may take, but as for me, give me democracy or give me death!" A pro-republican revolution was imminent, however John Sirus stepped in and said that Harrington's speech was fantastic and inspirational but in order for the People to be truly cared about, a Communist revolution was needed. A proxy war was fought between the republicans and the communists.
The communists won and everyone united under John Sirus and Patricia Harrington, who were now engaged. They planned to have their ceremony if they won the revolution, and if they lost they would commit suicide together. Tensions were high, and the people, wanting their leaders to survive, fiercely attacked the Imperial Palace. Emperor Senlok II was ousted and dismembered alive, then burned, thrown into hydrochloric acid, and laughed at all through the whole process.
John and Patricia Sirus were wedded happily and the People's Republic of Syrixia was founded officially with John Sirus was its Premier (A reference to the original Head of State's title, "Pameiro") in the same year, 2014 CE. People's Council officers were elected and core military officers were not fired, but instead manipulated. Everything was almost normal, except for the invasion of Ixelonia, which continued upon vote of the People's Council and approval of the Premier. The year 2014 CE was and still is probably Syrixia's most important year, as so much happened in it that it practically could've been covered in its own section in this website.
The Democratic Union, an offshoot of the official Regional Assembly of the North Pacific dedicated to preserving democracy and peace, intervened and stopped the invasion. It was agreed Syrixia and Tomb would take all of Old Ixelonia and Ixelonia would move to a new continent and become totally independent.
Syrixia then applied to the Democratic Union in order to increase ties with its neighbors. To do so, it had to make some changes, and the People's Council transformed into a Parliament, creating the Republic of Syrixia. All its leaders remained in power, and adjusted quickly to the ideological change. All claims to Ixelonia were dropped and no one knows where Ixelonia is today. Later, Syrixia was admitted to the DU as an observer state, and will be fully admitted in a few months.
However, during mid-October of 2014, Drake Steinberg, the former leader of Ixelonia, who was ousted when Ixelonia moved to a new continent, was infuriated. He hired thieves to steal artifacts from Syrixia's allies and gathered all the anarchists in the world. He created a fifty million man army and committed terrorist acts everywhere he went. His headquarters was in the province of Osship, of which he completely took over from the government.
However, the Syrixian government managed to gather all the nations of TNP and put a stop to Steinberg. The 100 million man army Syrixia gathered destroyed the anarchists' armies, whom numbered at half of TNP's army's numbers. Steinberg escaped to Ehm, the capital of Territorio Di Nessuno. Osship was liberated. All those who supported Steinberg were either deported or executed, depending on their actions in Steinberg's army. Only 1/27 of the anarchists were executed, however, as many nations deemed execution inhumane and condemned Syrixia.
After that, a letter threatening against Syrixia from Yugoslavia, addressed in the 1970s, stated that Syrixia had to move ethnic Syrixians out of the Balkans. After the letter was discovered on Thanksgiving 2014, it was revealed that if the Syrixians were not taken out of Europe, Yugoslavia would attack Syrixia or have its successors attack Syrixia if it fell. The date of attack was set by Yugoslavia on the last Thursday of November, in 2014.
Serbia declared war the following day and Syrixia responded with a nuclear bomb. The European Union voted to have its members declare war as well, and Russia and China followed suit. The North Pacific aided Syrixia against Europe, but TNP was extremely outnumbered. TNP powers began researching ancient civilizations' formations to trick the Europeans, and Syrixia and its main allies began developing tons and tons of nuclear bombs.
Soon, the Europeans and China began attacking TNP, striking in Syrixia's capital, Balamb, where they were defeated by TNP's highly advanced weaponry. However, it was a diversion, as the main force of Europeans (and Chinese) went the opposite direction and marched towards Minas Ersul, the capital of the Republic of Eumenor. They were right outside the city's boundaries when the battle began. Syrixian forces and Eumenorian forces got the jump on the enemy, and even though they were outnumbered, they knew the land. They DESTROYED the European (and Chinese) legions.
A peace treaty was signed and the minority of Syrixians in Europe was left alone. The people of Europe and its nations never really hated the Syrixians, it was only the government of Serbia that did, and once it was nuked, its allies came to its aid. After this, a victory celebration was held in Pigletville, the capital of an old TNP nation known as Guslantis.
The Eknorve Civil War shook the Pigletville Ball to its knees. Cronaali terrorists, wanting to kill the Vilsuun of Cronaal, who was attending the Ball, struck at Pigletville. They kidnapped two of the Prime Minister's three children and ransacked the city. The armies of Syrixia and the Republic of Kalti stormed the city and liberated it. The Guslants, however, did not take kindly, and kicked the Syrixian and Kaltian armies out. The children were not rescued and had to free themselves.
The kids found King Fredrik of the Kingdom of Tronkandal and escorted him to the ball. The third child, David Sirus, a smart teenager who was learning politics under his father, the Prime Minister, realized what was going on in an instant (according to an interview) and brought the kids back in. They stepped into a room filled with a special experimental healing gas, and they were healed in about an hour.
It was then that the Prime Minister gave his impeccable "We Will Never Surrender" speech, which is immortalized in Syrixian history to this day. The ball went on well and after it ended, Syrixia's first ever true democratic election cycle began since the founding of the Republic of Syrixia, due to the end of Prime Minister Sirus' term of office, as well as the other Ministry heads' terms of office. Shaw Atlas, Savus Archelius and Auel Vist were all re-elected for their respective Ministries, and Alfred Nursson was elected as the second Prime Minister of the Republic of Syrixia.
Nursson followed in the footsteps of Sirus and sent his nation to war to assist the Cronaalis in the Civil War against the main force of the Cronaali terrorists. Cooperating with Guslantis once more, Syrixia fought bravely and defended the Crimson Palace, the most prized building in Cronaal, home to many ancient artifacts on display. However, Syrixia had entered without permission from Cronaal, and even though Cronaal was fine with the assistance, the Democratic Union was not.
In December 2014, the Guslants withdrew from Cronaal. Under much pressure from the Democratic Union, Syrixia followed suit and apologized to Cronaal. The Cronaalis requested Syrixia to return but Prime Minister Nursson denied, wanting to avoid more pressure. Nursson also renamed the country to the MOST SERENE Republic of Syrixia, after an amendment to the nation's constitution was proposed that made Syrixia much more peaceful.
That's it! See you on Jan. 2!
