History of Dragon Republic: From Monarchy to Republic

2000 years ago, The Dragon Empire was established when the 3 tribes united with their knowledge with architecture, agriculture, language, religion, and unity. The 3 tribes were types of Dragons, Flying Dragons, Earth Dragons, and Fire-breathing Dragons. The empire was small and controls a quarter of the Dragon Republic borders. The empire started trading with other countries with spices, rare gems, gold, and weapons as they eventually started working on weapons and military. The empire was lead by a Tchn who was named, The Great Warrior. His name was not known but, he was praised by the Dragons and remembered as a hero that saved the Dragon Empire from a major war that divided the continent and fight off Discord from causing chaos in the Empire. 1000 years ago, The major war was named the Centuries War. The Griffins, Ponies, Dragons, Yaks, Turkeys, and others started to have disagreements and ethnic tension. This caused wars, genocide, destruction of cities and homes. It was chaos with many of the population without any home, or their families. The war could have lead to the end of civilization if it kept going. The war ended 700 years ago with The Great Warrior's sacrifice as he fought off the last remaining armies on a mountain which is now called, Martyr Mountain. The Empire rebuilt and was boosting on industrialization despite loose of land. 350 Years ago was when Equestria and it's larger enemy, Ponyiana started to annex all the nations to rival each other. However, unsurprisingly, the Dragons rebelled against both sides during the long occupation. 224 years ago, Both sides decided to decolonize the countries and The Dragon Kingdom was established as a Equestrian-friendly Absolute Monarchy that changed into a Equestrian-friendly Constitutional Monarchy 10 years later. The economy started to boom as they started spreading Equestrian culture and religion. They supported Celestia and would fight with Equestria despite the fact, Equestria has the Elements of Harmony while the Dragons have themselves and weapons. The reason why they used weapons and guns than just fire is, they believed that fire would be close range than far range. They became an military and economic power. Another large conflict came out and it was a WWI-Esc war just about 101 years ago. However, it lead to economic gaps, rebellion, and high unemployment after the war. The Dragon Kingdom economy started to tank because of this, Dragons lost their jobs, their homes and even, their honeymoon with the royal government. 59 years ago, the King assassinated the Prime Minister and toke power to establish a  Absolute Monarchy. This angered the citizens and an year later, they finally rebelled after the King started to silence critics. Including the DRNP, Dragon Republican Nationalist Party. The party criticized the monarch for being a Equestrian puppet. The King exiled the party and it's members to Bicineno and the citizens had enough of the rule and rebelled causing riots, wars, and assassinations. The revolution had been very powerful overwhelming the government and it's military. This became a worldwide phenomena with other nations rebelled like Bicineno which became a Communist state and Ponyiana was overthrown to establish a theocracy of the Marack religion, A religion that believes anyone with god powers are evil and cruel but, who saves the people are the heroes and would be praised. Equestria's was very small but, it was to establish a Republic but, died out when in a year due to of lack of support. The party returned to the Dragon Kingdom within the rebellion to be the spearhead of the revolution. The revolutionaries became close to the capital, Tikirit. They seized the Equestrian embassy and the Royal Palace. The King and his Royal Family fled including Equestrian representatives back to Equestria. The royal government collapsed and was overthrown. The DRNP was praised as they created, The Dragon Republic. They teared the old royal flag down and burned them. They ripped down statues of the monarch and destroyed countless amounts of portraits of the past monarchs. They erased the traces of the monarchy. afterwards, they celebrated on the streets with the new flag raised over the Dragon Republic. After a couple of months, Elections were held with President and Prime Minister. The new Dragon Republic was disliked by Celesita because, the change. However, the elections were to the DRNP causing it to be a Dominant-Party State and later a Single-Party State. The Dragon Republican President, Ianhf Nazax resigned from power and given power to his Vice President, Nifajo Nifoh, father of Kanglufh Nifoh, the Current President. He became a influential leader and started to turn into a Socialist state as he built homes, schools, and hospitals with his ways to boost the economy and started selling oil. It became the first country to sell oil. He kicked out all of Equestrian workers that were from Equestria to nationalize it's resources and gain more independence. Celestia of course, hated the new government and the new President. Nifajo was benevolent and focus on economy and the people by making the Dragon Republic the highest standard of living, have military power, higher education, better healthcare, and with a powerful economy making it a economy juggernaut by trading and selling resources like spices, oil, gems, and gold. Greed was suppressed and recognized as a disease by the Dragon Republican Ministry of Health and Safety. They would jail greedy Dragons or consul them to be a perfect Dragon Republican. He did all of this without any brutality. Coro, Bicineno and Dragon Republic united as the the United Socialist Republics. This lasted for 3 years before being dissolved after failed attempts of unifying the political ideologies. The Dragon Republic was an Autocractic Single-Party State but, it doesn't mean they don't have democractic elements. They held elections for Prime Minister and Parliament to represents the 120 districts to vote for their representives of the districts. It still like the old kingdom but, the Kingdom used 3 parliaments with the House of Royals, House of Elders, and the Council of Districts and the House of Elders are at the upper house while the Council of Districts and House of Royals are in the lower house. However, 42 years ago, Equestria started to attack the Dragon Republic by Celesita to bring back the Equestrian-friendly government. The Dragon Republican Armed Forces stood on their ground and fought back. The Equestrian military was destroyed within 5 years. Keep in mind that Celesita doesn't have the Elements of Harmony with her anymore at the time. Plus, if she did that, that would have been catastrophic and may lead to a mass extinction to Dragons and would have angered the world leading to the world going against her as being "dangerous". Plus, after the major war, they made a peace agreement that any powerful weapons shall not be used for war as they did which includes the Elements of Harmony unless, powerful being takes over which, the Dragon Republic isn't. The war was easily defeated and the Dragon Republic made an event called, Victory Day. 37 Years ago, a parade was started and a celebration was planned even, the speech from Nifajo. After 2 hours of the parade, a pony use her magic and killed Nifajo by one shot. 4 more ponies came out and started shooting the citizens, the soldiers and the government officials. This killed the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign Affairs, 5 Presidential Guards, 30 soldiers, and 68 Dragon Republicans. others were injured and rushed to the hospital. 2 out of the shooters were killed and 1 was missing which was the one who killed Nifajo. The shooting lasted for 1 and a half hours. 2 months later, they held a funeral to the ones who died. It was a sad moment of the Dragon Republic and the world as they lost a great leader and 107 Dragon Republicans. Kanglufh Nifoh was elected by the parliament as the new President to replace his father and a new Prime Minister. Kanglufh was furious and blamed Equestria for killing Nifajo. War started back up again for that reason. But, the shooters weren't ordered by Celesita so, the one who ordered the attack remains a mystery and the shooter who killed Nifajo. This leads us today with the Dragon Republic building Anti-Magic Napalm Missiles to attack Equestria and the conflict spilled over to Appaloosa. The war became an economic crisis with loss of jobs, houses, cities, and citizens. This leads us to the story now...

The First Contact in 58 years

The royal guard was trotting across the halls of the Canterlot to Celesita and Luna's throne. He opens the doors and stops at his tracks. "We got a message from the Dragon Republic." said the royal guard as he gives the message to Celesita. Celesita opens the message and reads it off. It's a letter about making relations with Equestria and Dragon Republic and ceasefire their conflict. The letter also said, the war is troubling for their people and it's economy. Celesita agrees and decided to organize a visit. "Tell them we will be sending a representative to have a state visit." said Celesita.

Twilight and her friend were at their conference table in her castle when Twilight got the word from Celesita. "Ok, we all know the Dragon Republic." said Twilight. "That country who hates us and are full of greed?" said Rainbow Dash. Twilight responded, "No, that's not the actual case." She used her magic to pull out the Dragon Republican History book about it's culture, history, it's people, and their ways to run a nation. "This is the book about the Dragon Republic." said Twilight as she opens the book and turns the pages. She reads out about the Dragons and debunking the lies made by either side. She also told them that, they are a military power and may actually, find ways to kill alicorns with Anti-Magic. The Mane Six were in shock as they cannot absorb that. "How is that possible? They are weak! They are just a bunch of barbarians!" yelled Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, that what you said there is very wrong and insulting to them!" said Twilight, "It's actually illegal to say such things. If you keep this behaviour, the Dragon Republican Government will jail you!"
