'''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, with the Admiral as the second-in-command and leader of the navy.

'''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 (Island)|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.

Nova Balreska formerly held democratic elections to determine its Chancellor, who would usually rule for 3–6 months before elections occurred. However, following a vote during the second tenure by FlipppyyJr, the government system was reformed to remove these elections in favor of a short-lived "General Assembly" who would regulate the powers of the Chancellor and could vote to initiate an impeachment process should they believe the Chancellor is unfit to rule. The election system and the history of military coups and rebellions in the nation have led to several conflicts and power struggles throughout the faction's history, and aftershocks of this history continue to impact the nation to this day. Nova Balreska has seen a recent return to democracy, and after various conflicts currently controls Verdantium, Salem, and Fort Verner (formerly Isle [[Hallengard]]).  

Nova Balreska is currently a Republic for the second time now in it's history. In the fallout of Rhonor's War of Folly and weak governments after the war lead to that in late 2018 Nova Balreska held  a vote during the second tenure of FlipppyyJr. The government system was reformed to remove the elections in favor of a short-lived "General Assembly" who would regulate the powers of the Chancellor and could vote to initiate an impeachment process should they believe the Chancellor is unfit to rule. However after the impeachment of FlipppyyJr by the General Assembly, all forms of democracy were removed from the nation, following a transition into Dictatorship during the leaderships of The_VoidSource, ShadowEngineer and Cholaso. During this time the amount of political struggle expended greatly in Nova Balreska, with coups and rebellions largely being how Chancellors were removed from power, with the amount being greater then even before the Dictatorship. The history of military coups and rebellions in the nation's history continue to impact the nation to this day.  

 

Nova Balreska's Dictator-Chancellors ended with PancakesandSyrup12, in a coup lead by his Grand Sea Lord Davisboy2 who with the help of future Chancellor BakIava and his cabinet restored democracy to Nova Balreska, starting what many players consider to be a Golden Age of the Faction. During this time the two Chancellors BakIava and FlipppyyJr dominated the [[Grand Isles]] with the creation of the famous "Balreskan Guard" which would inspire the [[Figureheads|Republic Guard Figurehead]]. Being defeated due to the [[Purshovian Federation|Purshovian]] Admiral Marochev and a coalition of most player factions working together to take down the Balreskans. After various conflicts Nova Balreska currently controls [[Verdantium (Island)|Verdantium]], [[Salem (Island)|Salem]], and [[Fort Verner]] (formerly Isle [[Hallengard]]).
