Lucite

The Empire of Lucite

History: Lucite was founded by jmvvana and KingJohn/Morpheus/KingOfSweden/whatever else after the Budapest Pact of September 2015. Nations prior to Lucite were largely unorganized and almost completely demilitarized. Lucite was a group of cities under a single flag, each city giving one (usually the mayor) representative to the Congress of Lucite. The first president was elected days after Lucite's creation with jmvvana at the helm. Everyone in congress had equal power, and a vote required more yes votes than no to pass. President served as moderator of the meetings and had no special powers. Lucite went to war with several nations, but most notably Greenville. At this time, Nations and cities began massing weapons together and using them in wars. The Greenville War is commonly seen as PCB's WWI, as most nations fought in it. After this war, Lucite went under minor reforms, removing the President position and replacing it with the Prime Minister position. Claudia was elected as the first Prime Minister of Lucite and served several months until jmvvana was once again elected. Several wars and many months later, Lucite and Qatar entered a cold war. Qatar used several members of the Lucite Parliament as spies to gut Lucite from the inside out. This ended with many reforms to the Lucite system, and almost all nations ceased operations in fear of being banned. After several stagnant months, Lucite was revived and reformed, jmvvana was elected as Prime Minister again, and Estevaobuilder was elected as Chancellor. At this point, countless cities and even other nations were absorbed into Lucite, and we amassed a larger military than the rest of PCB combined. Lucite was the world's only superpower, without any competition. In this time, the UAE (Formerly part of Lucite) agreed to be absorbed into Lucite creating the Lucite Empire. The Lucite Empire was divided in two, the Union of Lucite led by jmvvana as Prime Minister controlled the East and much of the PCB Map while the Confederacy of Lucite led by KingJohn controlled the West. Tensions between the two parties rose steeply in the coming months, and KingJohn wrote the Rose Act, ceceding the Confederacy from the Union. The last war held on PCB before their banning was the Lucite Civil War. Union forces controlled most of the Map, with the Confederate Royal Forces controlling cities like New Hanson, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jakegrad and others. The communist city of Jakegrad converted to a capitalist system and deserted the Confederacy in favor of the Union. Many cities followed, leaving Dubai and New Hanson, the Confederate Capital. After several tense days, Vexnorz of Dubai pledged neutrality, edging the war in the Union's favor. KingJohn was banned soon after the war ended, leaving the Lucite Union the sole power of the world once again. Lucite effectively controlled most of the map and most of its major cities. After the Lucitian Civil War, Lucite reformed its government again, stopping most elections and building new parliament buildings and infrastructure. Apex, with cities such as Axiom and Freehold was created. Several of Apex's cities were on the Alga Sea, which was a major threat to Lucite's Capital, Budapest. A cold war ensued, leaving Lucite as the winner. Freehold ceceded from Apex and created Bayonne. To prevent future conflicts on the Alga Sea, Lucite and Bayonne created ASTO, the Alga Sea Treaty Organization. More cold wars followed, such as the cold war with Lunden on the Belport Sea and the cold war with Volare. Lucite is currently the largest nation memberwise, citywise, landwise and militarywise. #WereNumber1

Fictional History: In the 1400s, much of the Abbaco Desert was led by kings of different kingdoms. King Trioleon of Budapest had a dream of uniting all of Abbaco into one nation, and after capturing these kingdoms he did. He became the first king of Lucite. blah blah blah, time passes, war war war, history history- oh cool!- we're in the 1800s. Lucite is at war with an arabic nation in the west, and wins, woo hoo! (see "War" a play by jmvvana) blah blah blah more wars, you get the point. Theres a lot of lore that I can't cover because there are many wars over hundreds of years. Just know that we're the best. always.

Cities: Too many, dont bother asking me because I lost my "Book O' Knowledge" (book of all Lucitian Cities since the beginning).

Members: See section above.
