− | The Republic of Nassau was declared during the Nova Balreskan-Burkeland War when the islands of Salem and Harrisburg took up arms against their liege, [[Burkeland]], to join [[Nova Balreska]]. Unlike the other islands, Nassau declared its own rebellion against their Duke, Nelson the "Nasty" of Nassau, lead by a person named Bob Pinkers Schmucklebutt to gain Nassuvian independence. The Rebellion was supported by Chancellor Cholaso of Nova Balreska, who sent Admiral Cheeze to aid the Rebels, while the Kingdom of [[Whitecrest]] supported their ally Burkeland. Both sides sent men to the island to assist their chosen sides in the rebellion, ultimately concluding with Duke Nelson being defenestrated off of the lighthouse and forced to retreat with Whitecrest. | + | The Republic of Nassau was declared during the Nova Balreskan-Burkeland War when the islands of Salem and Harrisburg took up arms against their liege, [[Burkeland]], to join [[Nova Balreska]].

| After their succesfull rebellion, Nassau launched an invasion against Salem, ultimately capturing the island and annexing it into the Republic. After Burkeland defeated Nova Balreska, they then began an offensive against Nassau to resubjugate it, ultimately ending in a peace deal in which Nassau would become self-governing and own the island of Salem, but would remain a tributary vassal of Burkeland. | | After their succesfull rebellion, Nassau launched an invasion against Salem, ultimately capturing the island and annexing it into the Republic.
