Kingdom of Vrankija

The Kingdom of Vrankija, or colloquially, Vrankija, is a sovereign state situated on several islands and the main landmass on the server of Minecraftage.com. It is a large country ruled by the leader Danel Volicej (CrispyTeabag) and it has a population of 4. The capital is Thorsbije, located in the eponymous province, Thorsbije Capital Province. The King right now is Danel ven Sulet. The RDI (Republic Development Index) is 0.863 as of the 12th February 2020 report, which is "high" and places first on the server.

The capital itself sits on the Capital Province, which in itself is a small island at the northern part of the Kingdom and it forms one of the seven provinces. The land in this area is quite flat with a few hills and many trees. The area to build the city was flattened so that buildings wouldn't have to be sloped up to accommodate the surrounding area. Buildings are built on one level. Other notable provinces are Zetland and Ejssel, both for their initial discovery and proximity to the Capital Province.

Attempts are being made currently to expand upon the kingdom abroad to other islands but none have succeeded as of yet. To the north of the Capital Province (the northernmost province in the kingdom), there is a landmass but it unclear and unresolved who owns the landmass and what the conditions of it may be like. Expansions may be made on this landmass if the conditions are suitable and the ownership isn't disputed.

The nation's name was established on 7th February 2020 but the plans for the sovereign state were laid down in late December in its current condition. Countries prior to this date as far back as November 2019 on another island, during a Communistic-style era.

The capital of the sovereign state, Thorsbije, is a major economic, cultural and political hub for the country. This is where most of the trade occurs. Thorsbije host some notable buildings such as The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Staathejdergaat (the city hall, yet to be built in the Uldaat district of Thorsbije). The name Thorsbije means Strong City (Vrankian: 'Thors' meaning strong and bejestid, (shortened to bije, in this instance) meaning city) as it is a prominent area of interest and business. The city is split into six districts; Biusned, Uldaat, Oftejraaken, Sloomlaat, Linkelspraak and Suidmaarkit with Uldaat and Ofterjraaken having the best reputation while Sloomlaat has the unfortunate reputation of being the worst area to live in the city. Sloomlaat is mainly made up of cheaply built apartment buildings and small homes. The government is trying to improve the area.

November - December 2019: The Communist Era
The history of the nation goes back into November 2019 (the exact date is unknown). The nation was situated about 2000 blocks southwest of the current state. The nation was known as the REE Republic and it was under a Communist dictatorship. The republic was abandoned sometime in mid-December. The last known photograph taken was on the 2nd December 2019 overlooking the communist block buildings where the main city was situated.

Mid-December 2019 - January 2020
The nation was starting to form at this time but there was no declared name of the kingdom at this point. The leader of the country declared the name of the kingdom later on. The first settlement, Thorsbije, was established on the North Island and as it was the only settlement, it was declared the capital of the nation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the first building to be constructed, starting construction on 28th December 2019. Various citizens of different parts of the world and inside the nation have come along to help with the construction of the nation. Various talks were made throughout this time to see when other, smaller and less ambitious settlements were to be drafted but none have been as of yet. A road has been planned to be constructed through 2020, leading off the west part of the city/province and onto the main southern landmass. As of 8th February 2020, the road has not yet been constructed as the western half of the city has not been planned yet but construction will start and hoped to be completed by the latter half of February 2020.

February 2020
As of 8th February 2020, construction has somewhat halted. Some fixes to the Ministry's staircase have been completed and a few roads have been extended but the country is approximately the same state as it was when it was pictured on 11th January.

As of 9th February, construction has restarted with the fifth floor being completed and the sixth and seventh still under construction.

As for other provinces, little expansion has been made there as of the 9th February 2020. The Capital Province is the only province that has had any construction on it whatsoever.
