===The Beginning===
 +
In the beginning there was [[NationStates]]. Then [[Euroslavia]] joined and said, "Let there be '''The Kingdom of the Midlands''' (TKotM)" and that happened just as he said. Then, one by one the [[nations]] joined. It was a minor [[region]], but then [[Last Anarchy Order]] (LAO) joined the region and made it great. He created a map, a Freewebs site, and forums and the region prospered.
 +
 
 +
Many notible RPers were in TKotM and it became a recognizable region if only for a brief time. However, all great things must come to an end. TKotM had a constatly declining [[United Nations]] population, but they still supported it. Therefore, they went in a series of wars with [[GCON]]. The GCON backed out of these wars when TKotM was winning. Right around this time Last Anarchy Order left NationStates and the region was never again the same.
 +
 
 +
===The Decline===
 +
TKotM was closely linked to an [[alliance]], the [[Legion of Defense]] (LoD), mainly due to [[Nanakaland]]. He had officially created the LoD back in January 1, 2004 while still in TKotM and about half of his region's population was in it. Nanakaland worked hard on increasing Legion activity and planned to use that new activity to bring life back to the region. However, due to OOC reasons, he left NationStates. TKotM continued down the downward spiral.
 +
 
 +
[[Nanakaland]] returned in November 2004 and returned to his old region with it at a slightly smaller population, 24 members. He watched as it gradually shrunk down to 18 and noted that barely anyone outside the region ever heard of it before. Nanakaland had witnessed regions dying and he did not want it to happen to the great TKotM. The map grew terribly out of date never updated since LAO left months ago and no one ever went to the fourms anymore. Something needed to be done to restore TKotM to its old glory and beyond but Nanakaland did not know what to do. He simply continued to sit in the region as it declined in size and power.
 +
 
 +
===The Restoration===
 +
Eventually, Nanakaland created a new regional map based on LAO's old TKotM map with a few major changes. Some of the regional members signed up for slots on the map via the regional message boards and IM. Eventually, he and Euroslavia created a private IRC channel for the region, but no one went to it. Something more drastic needed to be done to restore the region.
 +
 
 +
Nanakaland worked harder on restoring the Legion of Defense and doing RPs, but as the number of RPs he was doing declined, Euroslavia and he got an idea. Nanakaland moved back in his United Nations [[puppet]], [[UN Peacekeepers]]. Then, the other UN members endorsed UN Peacekeepers making him [[delegate]] so reforms could be done. The map had a new version (3.0) with some changes such as the addition of new islands for room for expansion and the inclusion of more (almost all) of the nations in the region. Meanwhile, [[Witzgall]], Euroslavia and he worked on new forums for the region to help with activity. To top it all off, Nanakaland created a non-password protected region for those interested in immigrating to the region, calling it '''TKotM Immigration'''. TKotM was on a path to return to its old glory.

The Kingdom of the Midlands

Population: 21 nations

The Kingdom of the Midlands is a unique and peaceful continent that boasts a dynamic economy and omnipotent military forces. We exhibit many sought for minerals and resources that are mined and grown without war or competition. Our citizens live rich and fruitful lives without fear of terror, slavery or hunger. As allies we support our region with upmost passion and patriotism, and welcome anyone whom is willing to do the same.

History

The Beginning

In the beginning there was NationStates. Then Euroslavia joined and said, "Let there be The Kingdom of the Midlands (TKotM)" and that happened just as he said. Then, one by one the nations joined. It was a minor region, but then Last Anarchy Order (LAO) joined the region and made it great. He created a map, a Freewebs site, and forums and the region prospered.

Many notible RPers were in TKotM and it became a recognizable region if only for a brief time. However, all great things must come to an end. TKotM had a constatly declining United Nations population, but they still supported it. Therefore, they went in a series of wars with GCON. The GCON backed out of these wars when TKotM was winning. Right around this time Last Anarchy Order left NationStates and the region was never again the same.

The Decline

TKotM was closely linked to an alliance, the Legion of Defense (LoD), mainly due to Nanakaland. He had officially created the LoD back in January 1, 2004 while still in TKotM and about half of his region's population was in it. Nanakaland worked hard on increasing Legion activity and planned to use that new activity to bring life back to the region. However, due to OOC reasons, he left NationStates. TKotM continued down the downward spiral.

Nanakaland returned in November 2004 and returned to his old region with it at a slightly smaller population, 24 members. He watched as it gradually shrunk down to 18 and noted that barely anyone outside the region ever heard of it before. Nanakaland had witnessed regions dying and he did not want it to happen to the great TKotM. The map grew terribly out of date never updated since LAO left months ago and no one ever went to the fourms anymore. Something needed to be done to restore TKotM to its old glory and beyond but Nanakaland did not know what to do. He simply continued to sit in the region as it declined in size and power.

The Restoration

Eventually, Nanakaland created a new regional map based on LAO's old TKotM map with a few major changes. Some of the regional members signed up for slots on the map via the regional message boards and IM. Eventually, he and Euroslavia created a private IRC channel for the region, but no one went to it. Something more drastic needed to be done to restore the region.

Nanakaland worked harder on restoring the Legion of Defense and doing RPs, but as the number of RPs he was doing declined, Euroslavia and he got an idea. Nanakaland moved back in his United Nations puppet, UN Peacekeepers. Then, the other UN members endorsed UN Peacekeepers making him delegate so reforms could be done. The map had a new version (3.0) with some changes such as the addition of new islands for room for expansion and the inclusion of more (almost all) of the nations in the region. Meanwhile, Witzgall, Euroslavia and he worked on new forums for the region to help with activity. To top it all off, Nanakaland created a non-password protected region for those interested in immigrating to the region, calling it TKotM Immigration. TKotM was on a path to return to its old glory.

Geography

The geography of The Kingdom of the Midlans is diverse and beautiful. It must be noted that wastelands form a natural border around Nanakaland and take up much of Super American VX Man's land, deserts are in the area of San Texario, and that the lightest shades of gray on the map represents neighboring regions or the bordering territory unclaimed by TKotM.
