Tsardom of Russia

The Tsardom of Russia (also stylized as Tsardom_of_Russia) was a country that controlled most of European Russia as well as Karelia and some parts of eastern Belarus during Season 2. It also held small territories in Armenia and Antarctica. The Tsardom was founded by BipolarBear12 on July 7, 2020, as a frontier province of the Roman_Empire. BipolarBear12 was then crowned first Tsar of Russia under Roman control, and he adopted the regnal name Tsar Andrey Matveyevich Tretyakov ("Царь Андрей Матвеевич Третьяков" in Cyrillic). After the fall of Rome, Russia became its own empire and rose to become one of the most prominent lands on Imperia.

Founding and Early Days
The Tsardom was founded on July 7, 2020, by BipolarBear12, who had just joined Imperia earlier that day. He was enlisted into the Roman Empire and received permission to establish a Roman frontier colony that would later develop into Moscow. With the permission of EpicCoolGuy923, who was acting Emperor of Rome at that time, BipolarBear12 was crowned the first Tsar of Russia and granted the privilege to participate in the Senate.

A couple weeks later, Russia, along with the rest of the Roman Empire, participated in the Ohio-Ireland War against Gixk. Rome lost the war when the gynoid MuN7 sold kills to Gixk. After this treachery was uncovered, MuN7 was destroyed and replaced by SeR0r, and the Balkan State, which was governed by MuN7, was granted to BipolarBear12's brother, bringing the Balkans into personal union with Russia. It would remain this way until the collapse of Rome.

Dissolution of the Roman Empire
The Roman Empire was disbanded on August 23, 2020, due to members' inactivity and political pressure from the outside. In the aftermath, several major successor states developed: The eastern portions of the Empire all went dormant except for Russia, Mongolia, and Holy_Phoenicia, while Western Rome was reformed under mr_Craft59 and Benelux continued to prosper. Each one of these successor states agreed to form an alliance for defense and cooperation called the Eurasian League the same day the Empire fell.

Two days before Rome fell (August 21), BipolarBear12 began construction of St. Epic's Cathedral in Moscow, which was intended to be the global center of Sorzism, a religion founded by the Tsar that worships the chief god Sorzys. The construction of the Cathedral's exterior would not be completed until October 23, and, unfortunately, the interior could not be finished before the map was reset for Season 3.
