The '''Kingdom of Kaltsburg''' is a monarchy in the Northwest quadrant of the server founded in 2018. It is the third Kaltsburgisch country to exist (preceded by the [[Old Kaltsburg|First Principality and the Kingdom]]). It borders [[Varkonia]], [[Lusitania]], [[New Thoria]] and [[Lumière|Lumiere]] throughout its territories. Founded in 2018 the nation has never participated in any conflict and maintains friendly relations with every nation it has contact with.


Characterized by its strict baroque and human-sized architecture, every town has a unique style to planning and design. The Kingdom provides free factories, materials, food and tools to its citizens through its system of warehouses and public factory buildings.
== History ==


Having gone through a few population and wealth booms and subsequent declines, the latest iteration of the nation started in June 2021, when it was revived by original founders deyan and nokiababy.

=== Principality ===
The First Principality of [[File:Kaltstadt.png|frameless|20x20px]] Kaltsburg was established on the 18th of August, 2018 by deyan. Later joined by nokiababy the two spent a couple of days establishing the country's borders by placing flags, signs and building essential structures in the peninsula. A few days after they were joined by HobbelJesse and TeqhZem. The few spent 3 days removing the Mt. Hafen in the southern part of the peninsula to create space for a port town (Hafenstadt). After establishing contact with the [[SPQR|Roman]] Emperor, Kaltsburg was officially protected militarily by them by treaty. The Romans came to Hafenstadt and built the many factories the town used to have. The Principality was flourishing with big expansions of wheat production, recruitment of new members, construction was booming and the political structure was getting in shape. The Royalist Party [[File:Kaltsburg Party PurpleColor.png|frameless|14x14px]] and the Freedom Party [[File:Kaltsburg Party BlueColor.png|frameless|14x14px]] were established and running for the first elections on the 31st of August. By the Prince's decree, a colony (Neue-Kaltsburg) was established a couple of seas from the mainland with the first settlement Niederburg. Infrastructure (by road and rail) now had connected the entire peninsula. Architecture was very plain and loosely based on 16th century European architecture.

[[File:Hafenstadt.png|left|thumb|310x310px|The old town square of Hafenstadt|alt=]]During nighttime in Europe (where the majority of citizens lived) a terrorist griefed and destroyed most of the country's infrastructure and essential buildings. Since all members were new and unexperienced, a lot of the buildings were not reinforced and there were no bastions present, therefore the grief was too much for the citizens to handle. By the Prince's decision, citizens gathered their most essential belongings and moved the Neue-Kaltsburg. The Protection from the SPQR was officially over following the migration.

==== Rise ====
The 31st of August concluded the first elections and the Principality was officially elevated by the Prince, following a ceremony with the first Prime Minister nokiababy and the newly elected Prime Minister K_WilhelmII of the Royalist Party. Here the buildings were now twice as big since the country had way more land. The Kingdom was concentrated in Die Hauptstadt, though there was never an official government building present. New members were constantly recruited, peaking at 13 active members. Duchies and Counties such as [[file:BonnFlag.png|20px]] [[Bonn]] and [[file:Niederburg flag.png|20px]] [[Niederburg]] respectively were established and flourished. Bonn was the industrial powerhouse of the state as it held a lot of factories and an XP farm. Railroads, roads and canals were being constructed. It was at this point that the Kingdom joined the [[UNC]]. The domestic political system was reformed turning Parliament into the Royal Council, with appointed nobles from the King.

Following the treaty of Ravenna, the Romans cleaned up the Kaltsburg peninsula, which led the two founding members deyan and nokiababy returning to rebuild the country. With a new,renovated architectural style, more experience with the server and resources from the colony, Kaltsburg's reconstruction officially began on the 5th of December 2018. While the Prince hold some properties in Neue-Kaltsburg (or East Kaltsburg), the territory is now under Roman control with old Kaltsburger citizens appointed as local governors. The Territory may legally seek independence a couple of months in the future, though with the lack of active population that is very unlikely for now.

In May 2019, the Principality experienced a huge population growth, almost doubling its amount since the same time in April. Many new territories were acquired in the former lands of Varsany with the [[File:Flag weizenland.png|19x19px]] County of Weizenland (later renamed to Nederland) being expanded and the [[File:Flag fennland.png|22x22px]] Duchy of Fennland and [[File:Bonn CoA.png|19x19px]] County of Neubonn being established.

==== Kaltsburg-Leuven ====
In Mid-Late 2019, the Duchy of Leuven was established and began developing. By that time most citizens of Fennland had quit and Kaltsburg was almost completely abandoned. In February 2020 deyan, as monarch of both nations, merged the two countries to make things more simple. On the 17th of February the Office of Governor of Kaltsburg was established for Kaltsburg to have an active leader in the region as deyan had moved to Leuven.

=== Heraldry ===
All Arms of political entities are handled by the Government. Arms that represent sub-national entities are simply an animal (that represents the given area) on a one-colored shield. In-game however mostly flags are flown as the arms are used in documents and maps out of the game.
