| − | === Creati, of the Republic===
| + | '''Nassau''' was a Democratic Republic in the southern end of the [[Grand Isles]], that was a former tributary of [[Burkeland]]. They gained their freedom in a rebellion and later gained full independence. Nassau was lead by a popularly-elected Governor, who was elected for three-month terms, with the Admiral being the second-in-command and the leader of the navy. |

| − | === Creation of the Republic===
| + | The Faction formed [[Whitecrest|Kingdom of Whitecrest and Nassau]] with [[Whitecrest]] after a decisive victory against Whitecrest in contesting lordship over the island of Freeport. |
| − | 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 thrown off of the lighthouse and forced to retreat with Whitecrest. | |
| | | | |
| − | 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.

| − | ===Establishment & Independence===
| + | After their independence in late 2024 however, the nation is lead by the Grand Admiral, under which different squadrons exist as a disunited naval force. These squadrons are owned by a person who creates them and become a member of High Command, and set their low ranks' position in their squadron and Nassau as a whole. |
| − | On September 18, 2020, Nassau became a playable faction into Tradelands, and thus with it a navy and government was created to support it. The fledgeling nation under the leadership of Governor Apple_Turnovers and Admiral v0ws quickly found itself embroiled in a new conflict encompassing the entirety of the Grand Isles, as Nova Balreska was once again attempting to reconquer Perth from Whitecrest. Although Burkeland would involve itself due to an internal coup rising within Whitecrest, Nassau would be called to war when Hallengard seized the opportunity to assault Harrisburg, in which timely Nassau and Whitecrest intervention saved the island.

| − | | |
| − | Things would begin to take another turn for Nassau in September of 2020 when word reached the Grand Isles that Purshovia was invading Burkeland, and so it was quickly brought into yet another war to defend its liege. However, things would take a drastic turn when Nassau seized the opportunity to declare its independence from Burkeland. Due to the sudden announcement of this declaration by the Governess Apple_Turnovers, the Admiral v0ws declared a coup against her out of fear of Burkelandic retaliation, however the coup would be disbanded when a diplomatic agreement was reached between Burkeland and Nassau for Nassau to be guaranteed its independence in exchange for the island of Salem and giving temporary reinforcement to Burkeland, being granted the fort island of Saint Christopher in exchange.

| − | ===Foreign Imperialism===
| |
| − | With its newly founded independence, Nassau would try to take the opportunity to grow and improve its navy, however on December 27, 2020, Nova Balreska declared war on Nassau to take control of their Fort, a war that resulted in a devastating loss for Nassau. With the loss of their islands, Nassau was forced to form an alliance with Whitecrest in an attempt to resist Nova Balreskan imperialism. The two factions would fight against Nova Balreska in the coming months of 2021, climaxing when the Purshovian Admiral Marochev arrived in the Grand Isles to reclaim the fort of Clydesdale which had been lost to Nova Balreska, crushing Nova Balreska and allowing Nassau to successfully retake Saint Christopher during Purshovia's blockade and bombardment of [[Verdantium (Island)|Verdantium]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a consequence of the war against Purshovia, Nova Balreska was forced to give independence to the island of Salem, a nation which Nassau quickly moved to seize. Despite the defenders of Salem proving to be a strong adversary, Nassau ultimately would conquer the island, though this would not last long as Nova Balreska quickly struck once again to retake the island from Nassau.

| − | In a small break from the constant external conflict and war Nassau constantly found itself in, the elections of July 2021 proved to be an almost comedic relief, as interest turned domestically when the Governor ser50, alongside many other high-profile individuals, was barred from running in the elections, resulting in the election of the unsuspecting Governor blueskydiamondgaming. His rule did not last long, as he quickly went missing, in which the civilian BeyonderJ6 attempted to declare himself Governor before being swiftly put down by Admiral SquidTrain, who took the seat of Governor for himself until the next elections could come.

| − | Nassau would be given its period of peace again, though it would be broken in September of 2021 not by Nova Balreska but by Whitecrest instead, who sought to conquer Saint Christopher for themselves. During this war, Governor Poutpout_army resigned from his position with a temporary Naval Junta being set up for the remainder of the conflict. The war ultimately ended in Whitecrest ending its aggression, finally giving Nassau a victory after its many losses to Nova Balreskan expansionism.

| − | ===The Dragon & the Rats ===
| |
| − | In February of 2022, the Grand Isles were upturned when the Blackwind Pirates began a series of expansions which had never been seen before, with the Imperial Marine Corps quickly seizing the island of Perth from Nova Balreska and the Rogue Raiders attempting the same on Fort Verner. With Perth no longer under Nova Balreskan control, Admiral skulldragon7 decided to attempt to try and claim the coveted island for Nassau, though this would backfire heavily when Blackwind not only beat back the Nassau offensive, but captured the fort of St. Christopher as well, once again leaving Nassau with no territories to call its own. Relations quickly turned on their head between Nassau and Blackwind though, when an unexpected and long-dormant force reappeared in the Grand Isles - the Empire of Inyola.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On March 22nd of 2022, Commander Y'Gert of the [[Inyola|Inyolan]] Imperial Navy announced his presence to the Grand Isles, sent to destroy an Inyolan rebellion which had established a base in the Grand Isles. Nova Balreska and the Kingdom of Whitecrest agreed to assist Inyola in driving the rebels out, with Nassau and Blackwind agreeing to defend the rebels at any cost, and so the Imperial Alliance began their attack against the rebels. However, the war took an unforeseen turn when the Imperial Alliance was utterly devastated by the rebellion, only managing to sink 2 Camels of the rebellion while losing 2 Alliances, 2 Camels, a Phoenix, a Retaliator, and 2 Binglehoppers. With this loss in hand, Inyola instead turned their eyes to the Purshovian islands of Cannoneer's Key and Clydesdale, seeking to take them for itself to establish an Inyolan base within the Grand Isles and drive out the long-hated Purshovians, however this also quickly turned sour when shortly after landing on Cannoneer's Key, the entire Inyolan invasion fleet was lost with none of the defending Poseidons sunk, trapping the Inyolan invaders on Cannoneer's Key and leaving Clydesdale unchallenged in the hands of Purshovia. These losses have kept further Inyolan aggression to a standstill, and current conflict between the rebellion and the Imperial Alliance remains a standoff.

| − | | |
| − | The state of internal politics in the Grand Isles remained much the same between Nassau and its adversaries, while Whitecrest did attempt to siege and claim Saint Christopher oncemore, they were once again beaten back by Nassau and so the fort remained in the hands of Nassau, though something would happen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Scramble For Freeport===
| |
| − | Nassau would elected lisainwonderland as their new Governess, everyone hoping for a time of peace. That would change once Whitecrest announced their claim over the island of [[Freeport]], which made Nassau also claim the island for themselves. War would be declared between the two nations a week later, with the battles only taking place on the island of Freeport. The Nassuvian Navy would defeat the navymen of Whitecrest every single battle with minimal casualties. After their victories over Whitecrest, Nassau would annex Freeport into their Republic. | |
| − | | |
| − | However after the the War was over, due to Whitecrest struggling to stay aflout the two nations would come to an agreement which would see Governess lisainwonderland became the Queen of a new faction in the Grand Isles, while Late-King gghostwolff would become the Duke of Fenwick. Most of the original Whitecrest leadership would be filled in by ones from Nassau, and the [[Whitecrest|Kingdom of Whitecrest and Nassau]] would be declared.
