=== The Great Wandering ===
=== The Great Wandering ===
In late June 2018, three settlers (Hroerek, Argead and Jykri) descended from the vast wilderness and set sail towards the +,+ quadrant in hopes of establishing a new homeland. All initial efforts failed as the land was claimed and staked by many of the nations within the region, however, this bad fortune was turned around with the finding of the island of what is now Fredericksland. The land was untamed and what settlement had occurred during the time when it was still Lesopena was all but abandoned when discovered. Thus, a new homeland for the settlers was found and made out of the island.
Hroerek was of common birth and was never destined to lead a nation and people, it was only forced onto him when his family farm was destroyed by "sea people". Escaping on a boat with 2 other people, his group set sail around the +,+ quadrant to find new land to start fresh. All initial efforts failed as everywhere they went was either claimed, heavily contested or uninhabitable. They were however able to find the island nation of Lasopena completely abandoned as if something bad happened to make the previous settlers suddenly run away from home. It was left in a condition where it was like people were still living there, but nobody was in sight and all was quiet.

=== Establishing the Government ===
=== Ratification of the Constitution and Founding of the Nation ===
In the following days of the re-settlement of Lasopena, Hroerek crowned himself Prince of the new nation of Pruthenia & he appointed a former noble Argead as Chancellor of Pruthenia. Together the first Pruthenian Government with the other settler ratified the Pruthenian Constitution of 2018 declaring Pruthenia a "Federal Socialist Constitutional Monarchy" on the renamed island of Fredericksland.
In the following days of this settlement period on the now abandoned island it was clear that a formal government would need to be established, to legitimise this new state a constitution was drafted and then approved by all.

While the now refurbished properties were enough for comfortable living it was clear that better and more spacious living quarters were required if the nation was expected to grow. To provide the level of security and safety required for a prosperous settlement it was determined that the core of the new town would form within a fortified zone. From start to finish the construction of the main fort took over a week and was very strenuous on the already limited resources available to Pruthenia. After construction the city was zoned and the construction of three new buildings began, the palace, the factory and the brewery.

=== Claiming of Jerusalem ===
⚫
== Government ==
The Kingdom of Jerusalem was suddenly abandoned with all the former inhabitants committing suicide in a suicide pact. Prince Hroerek heard of this and then claimed the majority of former Jerusalemite territory as part of Pruthenia. Men were sent to inspect the former Kingdom and they found this was a joint Jewish-Christian-Muslim nation which Hroerek heavily disapproved of, so Hroerek forced through the "Renaming Act" which allowed the government to rename all the former Jerusalemite territories and take down all "heretical symbolism" such as the cult of Kekistan's symbols all over the Kingdom. The Pruthenian Government are hoping for people to come and re-settle the new territories but none have come.

The People's Principality of Pruthenia functions as a semi-constitutional monarchy, where power is shared between the prince and the chancellor. Section 4 of the Pruthenian constitution defines this power sharing arrangement as "the Chancellery and the Monarch who share power on behalf of the people of Pruthenia." To assist in administration and decision making within the country the chancellor can form and dismiss a council where they can then appoint ministers; there are no formal ministerial titles.

Pruthenia's agriculture sector is extremely limited as the terrain and makeup of the land makes it unsuitable for the farming of anything other than simple wheat.
