Republic of North Ohio

The Republic of North Ohio is a former nation state in the northern Ohio Valley, west of the Breakline. After around 4 decades of rule, internal power struggles and poor infrastructure called the nation to collapse. During it's time, the nation had gained much affluence, and the Republic has achieved almost mythic status, much like former America.

History
Originally founded as a military alliance between the city-states of Sandusky and Port Clinton, the Republic was built around a system much like the Old US, with representatives and three-branch government. The alliance became a nation proper after bringing Bowling Green into the fold, and drafting it's Constitution. It was then, after amassing a large army, that they began to expand militarily. They annexed the Erie Stretch, including Beechvale and Domov, and began south, finding an adversary in Wooster-Ashland, whom due to misunderstandings, gave conflict first, triggering a short war, which led to a mutual unification. To the South and West, they annexed Findlay and it's charge, as well as recolonizing the Great City of Defiance. It was here their expansion was halted by the Limans, a force to be reckoned with. The Limans had reactivated an Old World machine that created great metal War Beasts, whom breathed great fire and rode upon centipede legs. The two power clashed, their lines pushing back and forth, the favour for either side constantly switching. Eventually a treaty was brokered, as many had died, and the people grew tired of fighting. It was here that the sickness in the republic began to spread. Corruption, Expansion, Personal Wars, and Corporatist Politics.
