Nova Balreska
Nova Balreska is a democratic faction born out of the defeat of the Verdantine Sovereignty, when the Verner Expedition, supported by Whitecrest, took control of Verdantium and established a new nation out of the occupants of Fort Verner and the ex-Verdantines. It is ruled by a Chancellor elected every 3 months, with the Admiral as the second-in-command and leader of the navy.

History
Formed from the Verner Expedition's navy after it successfully defeated and conquered the Verdantine Sovereignty, the first Chancellor of Nova Balreska was Kagaros, with subsequent terms and Chancellors being elected through elections once every 3 months. A small group known as the Verner Expeditionary Militia Force, which had helped the Verner Expedition in its war, was given the old island of Fort Verner, whereupon it renamed itself Hallengard, the island was renamed to fit, and it was declared a vassal of Nova Balreska.
Despite the close origins of Nova Balreska and Hallengard, friction would later arise between the two factions over the vassal status of Hallengard, a tension that would hit its peak in August of 2016 when Hallengard was invaded and conquered by the Blackwind Pirates under the leadership of Pirate King ExtremeFireTroll, becoming his own vassal. Due to the presence of the pirates, Whitecrest offered its support in helping Nova Balreska drive out the pirates from Hallengard, and continued to assist in the war until Blackwind decided to abandon the island. With the pirates gone, Whitecrest backed out of the war, however Hallengard and Nova Balreska would continue to fight until Hallengard was at last defeated and once again returned as a vassal to Nova Balreska. However, this victory for Nova Balreska would be short, as in January of 2016 Whitecrest demanded Nova Balreska release Hallengard and grant its independence, a demand which Chancellor WilkosGaming agreed to.
During the second term of Chancellor FlipppyyJr to reform the government, Nova Balreska held a vote for a government reform in which elections would be removed in favor of a "General Assembly", who would be responsible for regulating the Chancellor, and should the need arise would have the power to impeach the Chancellor. However, after the impeachment of FlipppyyJr, the powers of the General Assembly were eroded by the following chancellors until its eventual dissolution by Chancellor cholaso, resulting in Nova Balreska's infamous period of coups and rebellions due to now being the only way to remove a Chancellor from power.
This system of dictatorship ended with the coup against Chancellor pancakesandsyrup12, in which Grand Sea Lord Davisboy2 overthrew the government with the assistance of Whitecrest and restored democracy, which Nova Balreska continues to use to this day.

Trivia
- Nova Balreska contains both the former Verdantine salt mines and the Sword and Star Tavern.
- The spawn-island of Nova Balreska is named Verdantium, eponymous of the former faction, the Verdantine Sovereignty.
- Nova Balreska takes its name after the origin of the settlers to Fort Verner, who were members of a Balreskan refugee expedition to escape their war-torn and razed homeland.
- The faction is known for its historic instability. During the War of Rhonor's Folly in Autumn 2018, Chancellor Rhonor was killed, SaiIingAway resigned, and Davisboy2 was captured, leading to a temporary Admiral Junta consisting of xxXNIEGEXxx, PancakesandSyrup12, and un1que1012. Ultimately, Admiral xxXNIEGEXxx was chosen to be Chancellor after the war's end. This series of events is rivaled as the most rapid changes in leadership only one-- January 2020 saw Chancellor Cholaso die due to an accident, FlenTiX ousted, and cheeze587 captured by Whitecrest, leaving PancakesandSyrup12 as the only viable candidate for the Chancellery.
