History
Origins
The origins of the settlers of Anvard begin within the Varathian Empire before its decline. In mid-November of 2019, a group of Varathian settlers led by VolutionFs migrated into the seemingly empty jungles of Tenochtitlan to found the City of Anvard under the Varathian flag, but not too long after the settlers founded Anvard, the city of Alexandria declared its independence from Varathia. On December 2nd of 2019, after some talks between the settlers of Anvard, the settlers declared their independence from Varathia very shortly after Alexandria declared its independence, forming the Free State of Anvard.
The One Day Siege
With the arrival of the Bobangan people, Tenochtitlan was dissolved and Bobanga became the new state that disputed Anvardian territory. About two weeks later, the First Scholar of Bobanga, DarkyDu, constructed a fort within Anvardian claim with the intention of reclaiming Tenochtitlan's losses. The Anvardian militia quickly responded to the threat to Anvard's sovereignty by besieging the fort and demanded that the government in Dar-al-Vexler recognizes Anvardian claim. Upon receiving a refusal to recognize Anvard, a short siege ensued, and DarkyDu was pearled but was shortly released after Bobanga had recognized the Free State of Anvard.
Colonization of Calormen
The Anvardian demand for a source of beetroot originally inspired the colonization of Calormen, the agrarian town of Samsara Mosa is settled along a beautiful oasis and has access to its own aqua nether.
Ez2Crew War
After Bobanga was conquered by the Ez2Crew Empire, Anvardian sovereignty was once again threatened and rose to arms with the coalition that was rising around the world to beat back the Ez2Crew-Bobangan threat. As a result of the war, Anvard took the territory it had occupied during the weeks long war.

Summary
Anvardian coalition forces initially had a significant chance to fight back against the federation after two days of arming the citizen militias of all allied forces. Though upon the third day, after the Bobangan Federation probably realized that they were vastly outnumbered and had most likely pulled some strings with Savaguard, and the Anvardian alliance had now been informed by Savaguard that they were going to join the war if any Eslentians were pearled. Essentially this had created a scenario where it became impossible to defend Anvard and win the war without bringing in one of the server's largest powers thus preventing any momentum that the alliance had over the Federation.
Prelude to the War
Since Eslenti's founding and knowing of their past behavior on the server and in other iterations of the civ-genre, Anvard was not particularly trusting of Eslenti but Anvard was willing to cooperate on friendly terms with Eslenti. In the beginning, Anvard had offered to help aid the construction of the Eslentian capitol, discussed buildings roads between our countries, a defensive alliance and Anvard was willing to sell land off to Eslenti to give them more room for development. Though we still remained suspicious, but we had hoped that Eslenti would truly be the peaceful nation that they had promised to be since their founding and it had started to look like that they were true to their word. Later a Eslentian oligarch had approached Anvard explaining that it was rumoured that Bobanga was planning on attacking both Anvard and Eslenti soon to reclaim lost territory. Anvard, along with other member states of the IWW (International Workers of the World), prepared for a war with Bobanga, and we were in full confidence of a victory against Bobanga. A few days later, the President of Anvard had caught wind of a secret Eslentian-Bobangan alliance and Anvard started to suspect that its "ally" Eslenti may have not really been on Anvard's side since the start.
Late-April Eslenti approached Anvard asking if Anvard was willing to confederate, though at the same time as Eslenti conducted raids as they asked Anvard to join the confederation, this betrayal and poorly conducted diplomacy was deeply insulting to Anvardians and immediately rejected offers to confederate and prepared for a possible war with both Eslenti and Bobanga. Anvard reached out to Alexandria and Varathia following the raids, hoping that they would at least condemn the actions of Eslenti and Bobanga if they didn't want to join the conflict directly. Alexandria had offered a safe haven for Anvardians to flee to for safety, but had refused to actually enforce the safety and had let Eslentians raid any property that any Anvardians resided in within the city of Alexandria. At the same time, Varathia decided to abandon Anvard after both nations had talked of reunification of our two nations. Though the Emperor of Varathia ignored and didn't respond to any pleas for help.
