History
Early history
Not much is known about Kraftia's early years but the nation was originally planned as Kraftistan, before being switched to its current name. On 22nd September 2023, RaspiestDeer meet up with Toain Sealy, Messenger of the Chief. Together, both people constructed the "Kraftia-Crannoghold Road" which would make travel between the countries easier than having to traverse swamps and woodlands.
On 30th September 2023, The Capital City of Kraftia is completed and was surrounded by a acacia wooden plank dome. The Mayor Alberto would run the Capital now. The dome was there because Alberto is something that is called a "gamer" and it was said that he doesn't like it being too bright. This caused a bit of a stir within Kraftia's government
During a scavenging mission to get Mangrove Wood and Roots, RaspiestDeer found a Village in the Swamp which was abandoned many years ago. It has Watchtowers on Trees, a Townhall and even a little Storage. It seems like it was going pretty good which is even more confusing as to why it was abandoned with a lot of wheat still in the Storage. As such, Kraftia claimed this Territory on 15th October to maintain the Swamp and the Village in order to build it up again to make a liveable little place.
The Kraftia Files
On 14th November 2023, the Thundrarch of Thundra, Vinz Izon exposed Crannoghold's true allegiance in the wake of the Khanate's brutal and unprovoked attack on Cauldra, thus the Northern nations quickly came to the conclusion that the Chiefdom of Crannoghold as seen by their vicious demands against Syradine had become a threat in northern Cinder. This fact was made clear after messages between Thundra and Crannoghold known as the Kraftia Files were declassified showing the tribe's intention on the Fortican continent. The intentions of Crannoghold were loud and clear: Expel the Kraftian population just for their local architecture under the guise of them "trespassing" on an ancestral gravesite. If such drivel is stated as an excuse for war in the North, then the nation saying such had no place on the continent. Chief Boggers added fuel to the fire explaining "Kraftia is an ugly nation that ideally should be burnt down. Crannoghold will not stand for foreign interference in our rights and traditions."
Annexation of Kraftia into the S.S.O.C
On 16th December 2023, the Chairperson of the Socialist State of Crannoghold, Toain announced that Kraftia would be annexed to be part of the S.S.O.C in a deal with President RaspiestDeer. Despite heavy backlash from other nations, Toain didn't want other leaders to view him as a bigger tyrant than the former Chief Boggers. Even though the country would be renamed to Kraftistan, the former Government of Kraftia would remain in power within the S.S.O.C's government as ministers with RaspiestDeer taking the mantle as Vice Chairperson. The Crannog-Kraftia treaty terms were listed below:
| Crannog-Kraftia treaty |
|---|
| Article I: The country of Kraftia will keep their existing territories, but will expand their borders south to meet with the Socialist State of Crannoghold |
| Article II: The Socialist State of Crannoghold and Kraftia agree to sign an alliance pact which will engage the two nations under one flag (S.S.o.C) |
| Article III: The Leader of Kraftia will become a part of the S.S.o.C's Government's General Secretary/ Vice Chairperson |
| Article IV: The Socialist State of Crannoghold shall permit the settlement of Kraftia citizens and the investment of the Kraftian capital in Crannoghold, as vice versa with Kraftia permitting settlement of Crannoghold citizens. |
| Article V: Kraftia's Government must agree to build outposts between the space between Kraftia and the Socialist State of the Crannoghold |
| Article VI: Kraftia will be renamed back to its old name - Kraftistan. This new name will be a designated autonomous region of the Socialist State of Crannoghold |
Collapse of the S.S.O.C.
After the victory at Pentref Gwlyptir and the Collapse of the Socialist State of Crannoghold, Flokk Boggerson marched the Flokkite army south to the capital to finally raise his banners and finally regain his birth right. Once Crannoghold was secure and all remaining Socialist forces had routed or been captured, now Chief Flokk Boggerson sought about securing Crannoghold. His first act was to exile the old Socialist Government to the now independent Kraftia and install a non-aggression pact to ensure peace between the two nations. He then re-established the Crannoghold Moot and began work on the Charter of Crannoghold to ensure the preservation of the Rights of Crannogmen.
Despite being heavily wounded in the Battle of Pentref Gwlyptir. The battle scars and other injuries that Toain sustained became mere reminder of the country he had fought for and lost. He would be taken in by RaspiestDeer who took pity on him after the battle. Together with the assistance of Dr. Sergei Krypton, they fitted him back into a new mechanical suit. However, it would be permanent but unlike the one used after the late High Priestess Ashelya attempted to assassinate him, this suit is more streamlined and comfortable being able to fit underneath his normal clothes almost like a skin-tight bodysuit.
