Oligarch is the Frontline in the War against Sirion and Fontan on East Continent.
Contents
Introduction
Oligarch is a proud realm with a rich heritage written in blood and tears. We stand on the border between the overpowering Sirion and the diabolical Fontan as a bulwark to the southern states. We are locked in struggle against these foes. Our republic stands proud in the fray, strong and stalwartly defending all that is honorable in East Continent.
News Papers
- The Oligarchian Observer It is still young, needing good writers and editors.

Prehistory
Oligarch is one of the oldest realms on the island. Having been around that long, Oligarch has made many enemies and many allys. Oligarch has outlasted several realms, notably Omsk and Coimbra and Eleador. More recently, Rancagua and Avamar fell as well.
Throughout the turmult that has engulfed the island, Oligarch has stood strong for its principles and its allies. A sad note in its history is that many of its allies have been destroyed, but the destruction of Omsk, Rancagua and Avamar has sent many highly trained and motivated nobles into Oligarch's welcoming arms. Oligarch has been a refuge for many nobles - whether banned from their realms or through the destruction of their realm. Many different people now call Oligarch home, and many people call themselves Oligarchian.
Current History
I am not the most knowledgeable about our history, so I shall begin right now.
- We just delivered Fontan a severe bloody nose in defeating them twice in Krimml, and driving them out of Dulbin, now running a TO.
- We finished the TO and have gained Dulbin. We also started a TO in Evora, whether we will finish it is undecided. But, for the first time in a very long while, Fontan is definitely losing, and we have more CS than them. It seems that even with our massive overpopulation we are managing to continue being the effective and powerful realm everyone in our alliance knows and respects.
- We took Evora, but didn't hold it. We quickly turned around, and smashed a Sirionite force, driving them back
- Our armies were again led by our great General Arnaud to astounding victory, with two resounding battles in Braga, and a victory in Montijo. We began TOs in both places, isolating Krimml.
- The TO in Montijo was halted by Sirionite forces, but almost no Oligarchian casualties occurred, as we had already moved out
- Braga was taken over, and peace negotiations with Fontan began
- Mere hours later, Fuinir, King of Old Rancagua, declared war on Oligarch, because we tortured one of his infiltrators, who had attacked one of our lords and stolen some tax money. He gave us three days until he attacked.
- The infil had been tortured against the orders of our Prime Minister, Sakima. The next day, our Judge, Elaira, stepped down, and elections began. The candidates were many, all of them excellent.
- I, Hireshmont was elected Grand Justiciar in the interim elections
- In an epic two-front battle. Oligarchian forces, outnumberd 2 to 1, battled Old rancaguan forces to a standstill in Ashforth. Simultaneously, in Greatbridge, a 23k Siron/FOntan force was soundly defeated and routed by a 20k Oligarchian force.
- Mere days later, we launched an invasion into the Kazakh peninsula (OR territory) and, almost without a fight, pushed in to Kazakh and eliminated virtually all OR forces in Gadlock and Kazakh.
- At the same time, Dulbin rebelled
- I don't have the time to record our history in two places. So, if you want to see history from around February 1 to the present day, check out the The Oligarchian Observer!

Diplomacy
Oligarch is actively at war with the realms of Fontan, Old Rancagua and Sirion. The struggle is in a slight balance, the smallest change could tip the whole thing. Oligarch, though, seems to be winning.
Branches of Government
- Ministry of State (MoS) - This ministry works on overall plans, diplomacy, and general overseeing of the realm. It could be described as a senate with the Prime Minister's job to hear debates over the issues brought before the Ministry.
- Ministry of War (MoW) - This ministry works to develop and enact war-time operations concerning battle and troop movement.
- SARS - This is our elite strike unit.
- HSF - The Homeland Security Force is dedicated to keeping our taxes high, our regions fit, and our people willing to continue the war.
- WCC - The Worst Case Council is here to predict and prepare for the worst case possibilities. It could be described as a "think tank", with no actual authority. This group is private and not public. To be be approached by it is a great honour.
