Dark Zion

Dark Zion was a regency and eventual empire that existed in 00000 Land of Nod. It was heavily departmentalized and moderated by a vast network of Ministers, all of whom reported directly to the Emperor. The nation's collapse marked both the end of the Nodic Wars and the end of 00000 Land of Nod's political relevance.

History

The history of Dark Zion was comparatively brief compared to those of its contemporaries, having formed and ascended to power in less than a decade. Originally a regency that formed in the absence of a weaker government (whose name is now lost to time), its head of state, Regent Metatron, quickly gained popularity and influence due to his sweeping social reforms: welfare, healthcare, social security, and education flourished under his regime. Foreign relations began anew with the new government, and Dark Zion soon gained favor in the international arena.

Rather soon after the government's reformation, Dark Zion began to mobilize its armed forces on its neighboring countries. Due to the relative poverty of the surrounding nations, Dark Zion was able to rather easily and smoothly expand; the masses accepted their Zionist 'liberators' and, save for the officials of the annexed governments, all sang the praises of Regent Metatron.

Soon enough, however, tensions would begin to arise between AG333 and Dark Zion due to territory disputes. Although the dispute was solved upon the surface, the two nations would begin a short rivalry that Zionist officials intended to solve with force. However, they decided to wait for an opportune moment to strike, letting the international community believe things had been resolved completely.

Dark Zion participated in the attack on Elgarve, deploying several new technologies that would establish the regency in the region as a political superpower. Zionist involvement was relatively minimal, however, due to the coronation of Metatron as Emperor of Dark Zion.
