== Background ==
{{Main|Lothyran Revolution}}
The Empire of Lothyran had recently been defeated by Azyeri, and this political vacuum saw Grand Justiciar Beleth von Kaladriel seize power in a coup d'etat against the emperor. His political agenda was to free all surrounding countries of their monarchies and free the people of Alaxia.

{{Main|War of the First Coalition|Bordo Campaign}}
==== Re-annexation of Bordo ====
Beleth's army of 690,000 men would defeat a coalition force of 650,000 men in the Battle of Bashekh Desert, the largest battle in history. The Lothyranians trashed the coalition forces and then moved to defeat a further 300,000 Quadi-Lazarian men. With this power, Beleth would go virtually unchallenged and the first coalition against him (Azyeri, Quadi, Theon, Tempest, and Urbaxia) dissolved.▼
Following the declaration of the Grand Republic, Justiciar Beleth raised an army of 650,000 men and marched into the previous Lothyran territory of Bordo to the south. Bordo was conquered within two weeks and was annexed back into the Grand Republic of Lothyran. Beleth's grand army was welcomed with roses and flower petals as they occupied major cities and various ports. The native peoples of Bordo believed that them and Lothyran were the same and only the oppressive upper class had separated them.
==== Invasion of Urbaxia ====
After securing this land, the Grand Army began marching up north into surrounding states in order to seize large gold deposits to fund rebellions across Alaxia - haste was emphasised with artillery and charges used more than usual. Special regiments of shock troopers were utilised with cavalry used to secure less protected strategic points. The government of Lothyran refused to acknowledge international treaties - as they were signed by authoritarians. The campaign into 'foreign' nations would begin in 2243.

King of Azyeri Shalleum I led negotiations with other countries to try and curb the republican and revolutionary ideals of the new Lothyran republic, as well as stop any foreign invasions they might attempt. Eventually, Azyeri and the countries of Theon, Tempest, Urbaxia (also known as Burgundia), Quadi, and Ahitereira, formed the First Coalition in 2253. These countries began mobilising a united response but this was slow to coordinate, while Lothyran marched on Burgundia.
The [[Adeptus Militarum]] in Lothyran rapidly began increasing war propaganda to both Lothyran citizens and the peoples of conquered lands. Recruiters went to Lothyran villages and encouraged many men to join the army. As a result, manpower increased from inland and the conquered lands of Bordo and Sapran. The ministry's slogan was 'Free the people! protect our liberty! do not let the despots of enemies destroy our liberty! we are the righteous ambassador of liberty! for the republic!'. Throughout 2258, this recruited 80,000 soldiers from the Bordo, and 20,000 soldiers from the Sapran. Bordo troops were trained at Lothyran training centres, and were stationed to protect the capital of Lothyran. Women were encouraged to work as they were equal citizens of the republic.
==== The Grand Kana of Azar ====

With Ionaean and Sutonese neo-colonialism spreading further, mass mutinies in the Feclarian Army, and the threat of the Lothyran Grand Republic, the [[Grand Kana of Azar]] was established. Politicians in Azyeri would relentlessly protest for the young spinelass King Shalleum to abdicate his throne in favour of his fifth cousin, the King of Quadi. The Kingdom of Lazar would later join in hopes of turning the tides in the war against Lothyran. In 2261, the empire formed, allowing for the amassing of a huge army with men from across the 3 empires.

==== Aftermath of the First Coalition War ====
The grand republic of Lothyran had acquired tremendous profits and riches as war reparations from the victory against the first coalition. However, while the peoples of Lothyran walked the glorious and blood-full paths of liberty and victory, the Lothyran Congress discovered corruption amongst bureaucrats and administrators. To stabilise the country, Congress declared the mass recruitment of new administrators.
New technology obtained from the war allowed for new developments to restore civilian infrastructure and bring enormous productive revolutions to the industries of the republic. An industrial complex began being built where the heavily concentrated iron deposits and rivers laid. New and advanced machinery increased production efficiency tremendously such as steam engines, advanced forge, and streamrolling mechanisms. An extreme amount of steel and iron was produced for both civilian and military needs. Obtained capitals from their victory were used to expand industrial complexes that specialised in productions of steel and iron such as at the capital city Lothyran in the military state of Eatain, and Hoeth, within Osterion, the economic and administrative hub. Meanwhile, in order to mass produce clothes for the citizens, textile complexes at Sapran and Bordo were established. Investment was made from government budgets towards the ports and textile workshops of Thraxia.
In the Arstotzka (Savaja), Sinkajjan, and Zarinmero regions, the Lothyran government budgets invested to expand the gold and silver mines under Lothyran control, with the profits being divided equally in half. The grand republic started to educate people living in protectorate regions too through established public academias and public universities for all living in Sinkajja and Arstotzka. Furthermore, a special military production complex called Arsenal at the Eatain, Bordo, Sapran, and Osterion states, was built to increase military armament productions. The government established official research teams to focus on development of military and advancement of inventions. Rifles obtained from the West Suton Republic and other steam tech obtained through trade with Erdelicht were used as blueprints to reverse engineer and improve Lothyran tech. The Central Bank started to provide low interest loans towards citizens. Thraxia, Sinkajja, Zarinmero, and Azyeri would use the currency systems of Lothyran and establish branches of the Lothyran Central Bank.
The Grand Republic called many heads of states of other countries to suggest the declaration of an official alliance between countries sharing the same ideologies in order to resist against oppressors - emphasising co-operation among Alaxia. This alliance specifically would be about sharing advanced technology, providing financial aid, and using the same currency.
By 2287, Lothyran was seen as the most powerful country in the world.
