Formal Declaration of the Holy Tsardom of the Daoinian Nation

The first time I've read it, I had a lot of doubts. You know, whether it is going to truly ring with the people that are going to read it, who will be the ones left with the interpretation and acceptation of the new state of affairs and complying with it. And I hope, also, working for its solidification and development. supposed words of the first Tsar, Nikolay Aksynov, regarding the document

Document Structure

Publication Status

The original, from which the rest of the copies were made, is on public display in the National Museum in the tsarist capital of Oktavgrad. Besides, numerous reproductions have been made throughout the years and so it is easily accessible to acquire and have at home.

Legal status

The document was written and published under the ratification of the General Assembly of the Confederation, the collection of monarchs of the allied daoinian states, who have agreed to proclaim archduke Nikolay Aksynov tsar and merge into the Tsardom that he would rule over.

Historical Details

Background

The proclamation was published after the victory in the war against Pandeamonium.

Public Reaction

Population of the states under the Confederation

The general reception of the proclamation of the new Tsardom was extremely positive since there was overwhelming support from the very start of the war to unite under one banner once more and reaffirm themselves as a world power and one nation. Celebrations were held across cities, towns and even villages after the publication of the document.

Central Continent

There was a great divide in how the many peoples of the Central Continent viewed the whole document and what it proclaimed. Some said that this was an ill omen of the coming storm that will ravage their lands and leave the continent under an iron fist of the Easterners. Others, promoted a completely different, more positive outlook on the matter, as they viewed it as a simplification in foreign relations and a possibility for a great alliance between the Consortium and this newly formed empire.

Legacy

Terminology differences

What is interesting to note is the terminology used in the document, mostly the name of the proclaimed state - "the Holy Tsardom of the Daoinian Nation". In the present time, the more widely used term is "the Holy Tsardom of the Oktavgradian Nation". This is the result of the divide that happened within the ethnicity, as there were Daoinians that were excluded from the tsarist state, primarily in the lands that were integrated into the Omanri Sultanate, but as well in few minor states that never decided to join the Confederation out of which the empire was born out of. In turn, the people of the Tsardom "rebranded" themselves as the nation of Oktavgrad, cutting ties in a way with the rest of their ethnicity and creating their own sub-ethnicity.

Transcript of the document

---

I, by Eternal grace, Nikolay of the House of Aksynov, Archduke of Oktavgrad and newly proclaimed Tsar
by the authority of the General Confederate Assembly, hereby state what follows:

Upon our hour of triumph over the foes who have struck us so treacherously, we recollect
on the nature of our victory, for we have attained something far beyond a simple victory. We
have created a sense of brotherhood, a unity that sweeps across all our states and binds them
together once more in the rekindled sense of true brotherhood and fellow kin. Thus, it is now
and here that after long consultations and talks, we, the Tsar and the Assembly, proclaim the
rekindling of our long absent imperial glory, in the form of a new united state, that shall be a
banner to which the Daoininan people will look upon as their beacon of hope and rightful home.

This new form of governance over the land will be further expanded upon with the coming
days and weeks. This statement that we, the Tsar and the Assembly, share now with the world
and bring it out into the day's light is to only herald the coming changes that shall shake the
foundations of the very system on the Eastern Continent and, perhaps, even the very Aonian
world stage of international relations between its honourable nations and peoples that bask in
the glory of the banner they bind themselves to.

It is also to note, to all those that would or will oppose this decision that is stated here, that we,
the Confederation and its aligned states that shall form the bulwark of this new Tsardom, as well
as our faithful ally the Verfande Kaiserreich, are ready to fight to the utmost of our strength and
resources to defend our freedom of choice and newly reattained unity.

Original document, signed by Nikolay Aksynov

I'd say it conveys all points that were meant to be stated. That the period of a fragmented western Eastern Continent is over and the spirit of the old lion that was the Daoinian Empire roars anew. That this new Tsardom is to last the ages and only grow ever more strong, being a beacon to all Daoinian people. And that it shall be defended most fiercely by the people and their brothers, the Winsern, with their great Kaiserreich as the closest ally to this new empire.
