The Asurine Coast (Lûlian Asurinica) was a small state to the south of Lûl which was eventually absorbed into Imperium Lûlium, until it regained its independence once again near the end of the server. It was founded following the Massacre on Midway by Scæþing refugee jusipat after moving from a temporary base in the west near the borders of what would become Tianchao. Its name is derived from the great quantities of Asurine within its quarries.
Settlement and Early Days
Player jusipat founded what would become the Asurine Coast following the disastrous Midway Massacre. After much deliberation and nearly an entire ingame year of scoping out a settlement, jusipat settled on an isolated atoll just south of Lûl. Original infrastructure on the atoll was solely limited to a hole in a small hill that contained the bare necessities for basic survival.
Eventually jusipat would begin construction of a small compound on the island made out of limestone, cobblestone and asurine bricks. The Asurine Coast's raison d'être was to be the industrial hub of the eastern hemisphere, employing the Create mod. Its fellow neighbour of Lûl was not consulted prior to the founding of Asurine so close to their borders. If conflict were to break out due to the shared proximity, jusipat planned on keeping the Asurine Coast under his domain. Luckily bcfoss was not troubled by the establishment of the new state.
Admission into Lûl
At its own insistence following the consolidation of the Western Economic Zone (WEZ) into the new nation of Tianchao, the Asurine Coast was reluctantly admitted into the Imperium Lûlium by bcfoss. He accepted after jusipat's contribution to the expansion of Lûl towards the east involving digging for andesite and clearing required land for new construction. Under Lûlian law, the Asurian Coast was now protected from external threats at the cost of its own sovereignty and the necessary annual payments of tribute to bcfoss.
Pax Lûlium
Under the protections afforded as a subject of Lûlinum, the Asurine Coasts' manufactories were upgraded and expanded during this period of stablility and peace.
Contributions to the Empire
Asurine participated in the Conquest of Scæþing, producing arms and providing manpower to Lûl during the conquest. DaLogangster and jusipat both fought in Scæþing.
Independence
Following an extended period of inactivity within Lûl, Asurine declared formal independence from Lûl during the Year 41 to no Lûlian opposition. Redevelopment of the island followed this declaration, including upgrading the walls and urbanising within the walled portions of the claims.
Collaboration with Tianchao
Just before independence, jusipat collaborated secretly with Tianchao following the extended inactivity of Lûl on anti-magic technologies. This would lead to nothing however, as jusipat grew frustrated with being mistrusted and kept in the dark regarding Tianchao's revanchist policies.
New Foreign Policy
As an independent nation, Asurinica would symbolically adopt the French motto ASURINICA EST RENÉE, Asurine is reborn. Asurine foreign policy was dictated by staunch isolationism at this time while simultaneously maintaining cordial relations with its previous overlord Lûl.
It was agreed between Lûl and Asurinica that independence would be acceptable under the condition of continued cordial relations. Asurinica was unaware of the raid carried out on Lûl by Tianchaoese forces following its split from the Imperium.
Asurine Countermeasures to Magic
Unlike the members of Tianchao, jusipat remained convinced that in the event of war against Lûl that magic could still be beaten by use of grapeshot cannons, guerilla tactics and dense urban fighting conditions to lure players in and to negate mobility. Asurine invested heavily in the development of cannon technologies, the mass production of conventional weapons such as muskets and heavy bucklers, explosives and aeroplanes.
