Nationalist State of Ekhinni

The Nationalist State of Ekhinni, commonly known as Ekhinni and formerly known as the First and Second Ekhinine Empire, and the Ekhinine Commune (not in that order), is a fascist dictatorship currently run by SkylarWeston, located in southern Antarctica. While not a democracy itself, Ekhinni was the first nation to implement a democratic system into its government, in the form of political parties, and this continued in the reputation of the state until the establishment the dictatorship.

Ekhinni is a highly developed nation, with colonies, quartz buildings, infrastructure, enchanted weapons, and slimefun. It was the first faction to reach 10 citizens, the faction wealth is well over $1,000,000, and discounting its allies, the Ekhinine military is widely considered to be the strongest in the server.

Week 1
Ekhinni was formed on July 31, 2017,by Ggaming4u. It's capital city was formed as Lower Antarctica City, yet then it was just called Antarctica City. SkylarWeston and DENISPlayzMc joined the faction on it's founding day, each with opposing political ambitions. SkylarWeston was sworn in as the first Prime Minister, and the first leader of the Liberal Party. On August 2, 2017, XxValerioxX disbanded his faction, The Outsiders, and became a citizen of Ekhinni. FuntimeFoxyPlays joined the next day.

Ekhinine-Piepidan War
On August 5, 2017, FuntimeFoxyPlays was being accused to be a spy for the First Piepidan Empire, and after Piepida offered Foxy protection (yet they denied that he was a spy), Ekhinni declared war on Piepida. They won, with a combined effort from Ggaming4u, DENISPlayzMc, and SkylarWeston, who sailed across the Pacific to siege Fliep. It is remembered as a great victory for Ekhinni.

First Era of Dominance
After the Ekhinine-Piepidan War, Ekhinni became a superpower, gaining new colonies in North Australia and Crimea. The political parties increased, and DENISPlayzMc was sworn in as the 3rd Prime Minister on August 12, 2017. On August 16, 2017, Ekhinine Ekhida was dissolved, as New Fliep was destroyed, and FuntimeFoxyPlays was once again admitted into mainland Antarctica. On August 25, 2017, FuntimeFoxyPlays was admitted into the Liberal Party as a Piepidan Nationalist. However, he was kicked from Ekhinni the next day, due to a lack of trust.

South Pacific Treaty Organization
On August 30, 2017, Ekhinni, Greater Lazon, Mordor, and Piepida created the South Pacific Treaty Organization: a military alliance. Due to this alliance, Ekhinni began pumping resources into its ally nations; mainly Greater Lazon. Because of this, Greater Lazon was able to create a colony in Hawaii. This removed Ekhinni from its superpower status, and put itself and Lazon on more or less equal footing. However, Greater Lazon has admitted, even in this era, that Ekhinni was by far the more powerful nation.

Permanent Prime Minister Act
On September 17, 2017, DENISPlayzMc refused to run for Prime Minister, and said he would likely never run again. Because of this, SkylarWeston introduced the Permanent Prime Minister Act, or Article 8 in the First Ekhinine Constitution. Ggaming4u only accepted this under the condition that in the event DENISPlayzMc reran, this article will be nullified. However, the Permanent Prime Minister Act was only one under a proposed section of the Ekhinine constitution. This reads as follows: Ggaming4u prevented this section from coming into power, as it would cede SkylarWeston far too much political power.
 * SkylarWeston is permitted to maintain the Prime Ministerial role for life.
 * The Labour Party shall be the only legal party in Ekhinni. All other political parties shall be outlawed.
 * The Ekhinine Empire will have a government reform from a Constitutional Monarchy to a Crowned Republic.
 * Article 7 of the Ekhinine constitution will be nullified. (Article 7 at the time was an emergency scenario where Ggaming4u would declare himself dictator of Ekhinni.)

Foxy's Final Banish
On September 24, 2017, The Ekhinine Colony of Fowanta declared independence. To FuntimeFoxyPlays surprise, they were met with no resistance. As Prime Minister SkylarWeston put it, "[Fowanta has] become more of a hassle than a treasure." This weakened the nations stance on imperialism, yet set the stance for the nation to be a far more secular and less aggressive state.

Rise of the Socialists
On September 3, 2017, DENISPlayzMc reran for Prime Minister, and won. The Labor Party and Communist Party combined to become the Socialist Party, who elected SkylarWeston as their General Secretary, She immediately threatened a coup. Ggaming4u negotiated with SkylarWeston, and they both agreed on the Socialist Ekhinine Convention. This gave the Socialist Party political domination in Ekhinni.

The October Revolution
On October 7th, 2017, SkylarWeston passed a referendum, which passed 4 to 2, on reforming the government from a constitutional monarchy to a socialist monarchy. However, SkylarWeston didn't completely stick to the Socialist Ekhinine Convention, by giving herself more power over Ggaming4u. This resulted in a diplomatic crisis that rippled all over the world. Greater Lazon, Switzerland, and others recognized SkylarWeston as the new ruler of Ekhinni, while Mordor declared that it was an illegal government and that the First Ekhinine Empire was the true rulers of the Antarctic State. They even offered the monarch and loyalists political asylum, immediately putting the Commune and Mordor on bad terms. SkylarWeston quickly nullified the Constitution, banned the Conservative Party, and allowed Ggaming4u to stay as monarch, as long as he didn't try to regain political control, and agreed his position would be mostly ceremonial.

SkylarWeston VS DENISPlayzMc
On October 9, 2017, DENISPlayzMc returned to Ekhinni, to find the government socialist. This enraged Denis, who challenged Skylar to a duel. Twas an epic fight, with swords, bows, potions, and special equipment. Denis won, cementing his position as a pro at PVP. Because of this, Skylar agreed to the Querec Convention. This heavily increased tension between the Socialists and Loyalists.

The Revolution Starts One Day At A Time
While this was the motto of the First Ekhinine Empire, Ggaming4u and MerryMerryJerry (ruler of Mordor) reused this as a slogan for the underground Royalists movement in favor of returning Ggaming4u as the head of state. A huge project, Project Niagra, was created by the movement to stop a possible bombing of Lower Antarctica City, which consisted of dispensers being placed around the city filled with water. This worst case scenario plan never came to fruition, but SkylarWeston did threaten to bomb Ekhinni several times throughout her reign.

The Last Straw
Although this period of time took place over the second week of October, 2017, this period of time is known to Ekhinni as "The Last Straw". It was the series of events taken plcae by SkylarWeston that made Ggaming4u and MerryMerryJerry plan a coup, abandoning their plan to retaking control of Ekhinni democratically, using Article 4 (the abolition of the state for Ggaming4u to become dictator of Ekhinni). Some of the major events in The Last Straw are:
 * The Socialist Party no longer recognizing The Unification Party as a political entity in the Ekhinine parliament.
 * SkylarWeston amending the constitution, adding these three articles:
 * Article 4 of the Ekhinine constitution will be repealed unconditionally.
 * The Unification Party is hereby banned from entering the Politburo without the explicit permission of the Supreme Chairwoman SkylarWeston. This is based on a three strike system. If the Unification Party enters the Politburo three times without permission, the party will be declared as a terrorist group and permanently banned. This article cannot be repealed.
 * In the event that Ggaming4u attempts to annul any of these 3 articles, the monarchy will be abolished and replaced with SkylarWeston as General Secretary of the Ekhinine Commune. This article cannot be repealed.
 * cvkoning attempting to reform the Ekhinni into a vassal state of Greater Lazon.

Ekhinine Civil War
On October 21, 2017, Ggaming4u and MerryMerryJerry declared Ekhinni in a civil war. This civil war was a vast period of time, and for the full description, it is recommended to see the world-wide effects in the List of Wars & Treaties page. However, here is a run-down of the events exclusively for Ekhinni.

October 21: The Day of Affirmation
Ggaming4u declared the civil war by giving The Unification Party immediate and absolute authority over parliament, and MerryMerryJerry triggering an altered Article 4, this time without the consent of the population. Ekhinni was now a temporary fascist regime, however this nation never saw the full light of day. The Socialist Party was outlawed, and SkylarWeston was tried for treason. Yet SkylarWeston made herself clear. She would not let go of communism without a fight.

October 22: The Day of Action
As its namesake, October 22 was filled with action. SkylarWeston attempted to bomb Ekhinni, but was not permitted due to the Niagra Project that Ggaming4u had set up in anticipation for this. SkylarWeston resorted to Querec, almost completely destroying it. Ggaming4u and SkylarWeston themselves dueled, to the victory of Ggaming4u. In the end, SkylarWeston surrendered, but took out Tertium District with her, using admin abuse to destroy it. It is notable this is a server crime.

October 23: The Day of Anamensis
Lower Antarctica City lay in ruin. Querec was almost completely destroyed. Ekhinni, the power keeping the world in check, had collapsed. But the civil war was over. No treaty was signed and ratified, yet SkylarWeston agreed to rebuild Ekhinni from the ground up, with help from Ggaming4u and DENISPlayzMc. Ggaming4u retook control of Ekhinni, in the form of the Second Ekhinine Empire. Freedom of speech was reinstalled in the government. The Royalists had won.

A New Ekhinni
Ggaming4u wouldn't make the same mistake twice. He needed democracy to quell the masses, yet only two political forces would be allowed in Ekhinni; The Libertarian Party and Autocratic Party. While SkylarWeston was torn between remaining in Ekhinni or joining Switzerland, she agreed to rebuild Lower Antarctica City. Ekhinni's foreign relations were different. Mordor was a proven ally in dark times, cementing their alliance. MerryMerryJerry even talked of a union, yet Ggaming4u remained hesitant to that idea. The Treaty Organization, the great bind of peace, was dissolved due to the conflict in Ekhinni.

Declaration of Independence
Almost immediately after the declaration of the Second Ekhinine Empire, SkylarWeston declared independence, as the Trotskyist Republic of North Ekhinni, which immediately joined the Swiss sphere of influence as Swiss Ekhinni. This nation was unrecognized by all nations aside from Switzerland, severely damaging relations. On November 1, 2017, Ekhinni reoccupied the occupied zone, and SkylarWeston changed the government of the independent Xandler District from a Swiss Colony to an independent nation, claiming to be the spiritual successor to the Ekhinine Commune.

The Fungus
Ggaming4u had had enough. On November 14, 2017, he demanded that North Ekhinni immediately rejoined Ekhinni, and for SkylarWeston to take down the wall immediately, with the threaten of war if she didn't comply. Skylar called his bluff, and Ekhinni declared war on Switzerland and North Ekhinni temporarily. SkylarWeston immediately surrendered. This has been a proud moment in Ekhinine history. Regardless, talks began with Ggaming4u and SkylarWeston on behalf of Switzerland, allowing North Ekhinni to become an autonomous political entity within the Ekhinine sphere of influence. Due to North Ekhinni being a visibly autonomous part of the Ekhinine government, many extreme anti-North Ekhinines, especially the Royalists from the Civil War, have began referring to North Ekhinni and SkylarWeston as The Fungus.

November Leap in Development
On November 15, 2017, Ekhinni gained 2 new citizens: Savvas207 and AntonW123. Because of these 2 players, Ekhinni finally retook its position as the most populated faction, and the most powerful faction too. The two political parties doubled in size, and Ggaming4u announced that Mayors would now be introduced, initially for Querec. Savvas207 won the title on November 17. Lower Antarctica City finally began looking prosperous once more. The future was bright.

Ekhinine-Fowantan War
By November 17, 2017, Ggaming4u had thought that he would never hear from FuntimeFoxyPlays again. He did. After attempts of Foxy to seduce Savvas207 and offering him to join Fowanta, several diplomatic results, and lying about slimefun items, Ggaming4u declared war. While Savvas207 and AntonW123 defended Ekhinni, Ggaming4u himself made the arduous journey to Fowanta. On arrival, FuntimeFoxyPlays immediately surrendered unconditionally. Ggaming4u drafted up the Treaty of Fowanta. The important part of the treaty is Article 3, showing Ekhinni's attempt to contain Swiss expansion.

Political Renaissance
The 2 party system was clearly unpopular throughout Ekhinni. On November 18, 2017, Ekhinni's new citizen, RealAlexGamingYT, and previously mentioned AntonW123 set up an underground Nazi Party, which Ggaming4u discovered and declared the party illegal. The next day, cvkoning created the Stroopwafel party, which was also declared illegal. However, on November 16, 2017, Ggaming4u officially disbanded the Libertarian and Authoritarian Party, and declared Ekhinni a 4-party state, consisting of the New Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, the Stroopwafel Party, and the Nazi Party. On December 13, 2017, Ggaming4u reinstated the Prime Ministerial Elections, and DENISPlayzMc lost his position, while cvkoning was elected Prime Minister.

Montrose War of Independence
On December 12, 2017, DENISPlayzMc declared independence from Ekhinni. Savvas207 wished to remain in the Antarctic State, and so he did, moving back to Eorum District. Ggaming4u went himself to reinforce dominance in the area, and claimed the declaration was illegal. However, he offered to negotiate with DENISPlayzMc, who also wished to remain in Ekhinni, yet wanted his house in an independent location. However, these talks broke down when DENISPlayzMc gave up his independence wish and rejoined Ekhinni, making the entire civil war useless.

World War 1
The First World War was a huge event across the server, and therefore, for an in depth rundown it is best to check out its page in the List of Wars and Treaties Page. However, focusing on Ekhinni, it had given Switzerland almost 2 months to accept a Second Convention of Bern-Zurich, which was intended to stop Swiss over-expansion, relinquish some power to the other European Factions it had been terrorizing, and and to preserve Ekhinni's own superpower status. Finally, they declared war on January 7, 2018. Aestralië immediately attacked Piepida-Banania, and so the Kerguelen was devoted to helping their fellow Floepidans. However, Ggaming4u convinced FuntimeFoxyPlays to switch sides. Ekhinni, Piepida-Banania, and Aestralië then invaded Switzerland through the Alps, and defeated GalacticFurai at the decisive Battle of Bern-Zurich. Ggaming4u then offered GalacticFurai an Allium, as a sign of peace. Eventually, after some bargaining, the Holy Swiss Reich ended the war on terms of peace with honor, and FuntimeFoxyPlays finally rejoined Ekhinni. The Allium is now universally seen as a sign of peace, and has become a great symbol of Ekhinni's harmony and serenity.

January 14 and the Birth of Anti-Floepidism
For the previous month, Ekhinni had been under the complete political control of the Stroopwafells and cvkoning. Some of the things they did were: However, many opponents claimed that these had hurt more than helped Ekhinni. Resources were being drained, and Lower Antarctica City was becoming less and less maintained. On January 14, 2018, 5 citizens ran for Prime Minister. The reigning Prime Minister cvkoning in the Stroopwafel Party, SkylarWeston in the National Bolshevik Party, MerryMerryJerry in the GEAP, and Iowa_Mapping with DENISPlayz_MC in the Democratic Party. In a controversial speech, SkylarWeston began attacking Floepidan Culture, claiming them to be "immature Dutch fucks". cvkoning heavily objected to this rascism, yet SkylarWeston rallied the GEAP and even the Democratic Party, proving her skill as a politician and a speaker. The 3 parties formed an unofficial coalition against the Stroopwafels, and SkylarWeston was elected Prime Minister.
 * Introduced Kerguelenian Sheepism as the state religion.
 * Vastly improved the infrastructure of the Kerguelen.
 * Helped set up an End Colony, Ekhinine Cael.
 * Organized transportation around Antarctica, including a railway from Antarctica City to the Kerguelen, and stairs connecting both halves of Antarctica City.

Consolidation of Power
After her election as Prime Minister of Ekhinni, SkylarWeston began to consolidate her power by making more and more promises to the Ekhinine people, capitalizing on her success after denouncing Floepidism. After a bombing of the Ekhinine diplomacy room, blamed formally by FuntimeFoxyPlays, but some Pro-Floepidans suspect Skylar was behind the bombing, Ggaming4u suggested SkylarWeston possibly turning the monarchy into a dictatorship. The pair struck a deal, having him leave to manage Querec whilst she manage Ekhinni.

The March on Teritium
On January 28th, 2018, SkylarWeston formally proclaimed the Nationalist State of Ekhinni. The GEAP, National Bolshevik Party, and Democratic Party were merged into the Ekhinine National Populist Front, with all other political parties being banned. Lands of political rivals were seized by the government to make way for new political projects, and a new era of prosperity was proclaimed by the government. SkylarWeston proclaimed herself as the Dictatress of Ekhinni. Things were going to be different.

Government and Politics
Ekhinni is fascism to its greatest extent, and SkylarWeston has a grip on every single hair of her citizens.

Constitution of the Nationalist State of Ekhinni

 * 1) The only political party, the Ekhinine National Populist Front, is the only party in the entirety of government. All other parties are banned.
 * 2) During Volkshalle discussions, whenever the 'Skylar Is Angry' machine is ran, all citizens must crouch to the tune of the doors. This machine can only be run once a minute.
 * 3) When a new nation is formed, Ekhinni shall immediately offer aid and attempt to gain political control of their government type.
 * 4) The Dictatress is the all-knowing ruler of Ekhinni. All ambitions of her will be followed, and dissenting from her will result in severe consequences.
 * 5) The Dictatress is the ruler of Ekhinni until the day she dies.
 * 6) The Dictatress always has the final say, on any matter.

Political Parties
The government had two political parties, the Libertarian Party, and the Autocracy Party, yet on November 26, 2017, these doubled into 4; The New Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, the Stroopwafel Party, and the Nazi Party. The parties in the First Ekhinine Empire were the Liberal and Conservative Party, and in the Commune there were the Socialist and Unification party reigned. These parties are now debunked, but they shall be mentioned for reference. The Nationalist State of Ekhinni is currently a one party state until the Ekhinine National Populist Front (ENPF).

National Bolshevik Party
The National Bolshevik Party was a political party ran by SkylarWeston, who reformed the New Socialist Party into the National Bolshevik Party on December 13, 2017. It was the spiritual successor of the Socialist Party of the Ekhinine Commune, and was thus disliked by many Ekhinines. However, the National Bolshevik Party differed from the Socialist Party in its tolerance of the current regime. The National Bolsheviks inherited the responsibility of North Ekhinni, making it "the fungus". While the socialists did want the return of the Ekhinine Commune, it was also balanced out by Swiss nationalism, and the other 3 parties. The National Bolshevik Party had a banner, yet the prime colors were purple and gray. The National Bolshevik Party was merged with the Democratic Party and the GEAP to form the ENPF.

Democratic Party
The Democratic Party was a political party run by DENISPlayzMc, who was elected General Secretary of the Libertarian Party on November 26, 2017. Some other members are Iowa_Mapping and Savvas207. The democrats were more concerned with making a republic out of the Ekhinine state. The Democratic Party did not have a banner, yet the prime color was yellow.The Democratic Party was merged with the National Bolshevik Party and the GEAP to form the ENPF.

Greater Ekhinni Autocratic Party (GEAP)
The Greater Ekhinni Autocratic Party (GEAP) was a political party run by MerryMerryJerry, who elected himself General Secretary of the GEAP Party on January 14, 2018. It was created in the aftermath of the collapse of the '''Nazi Party. '''The GEAP was more concerned in reforming into a Horde, setting up Melkorist as the state religion, and expanding the sphere of Ekhinine influence. The GEAP didn't have a banner, yet the primary color was red. The GEAP was merged with the Democratic Party and the National Bolshevik Party to form the ENPF.

Ekhinine National Populist Front (ENPF)
The Ekhinine National Populist Front (ENPF) is the only remaining political party in Ekhinni. It was created out of a merger of the Democratic Party, the National Bolshevik Party, and the GEAP, turning Ekhinni into a one party state. The party has a merger of ambitions from all three former parties, and its current banner is the current banner of Ekhinni. It's primary colors are blue, black, and white.

Gondor
Ekhinni and Gondor have good political relations, as Mordor, Gondor's spiritual ancestor, was a great ally of Ekhinni during the Ekhinine Civil War.

Switzerland
Ekhinni and Switzerland are in good political relations, due to Skylar's relationship with GalacticFurai.

Kerguelen
Ekhinni and Kerguelen have tense but peaceful relations, despite the fact that Kerguelen declared independence from Ekhinni. Relations are easing up between the two after a mutual hatred of Bananians.

Mainland Ekhinni
The Nationalist State of Ekhinni is located mostly in south-west Antarctica, and is often referred to as the Antarctic State. Around 80% of its mainland territory is located in this region.

Antarctica City
Antarctica City is the capital of Ekhinni. It is divided into two halves, Upper Antarctica City, and the capital sub-city, Lower Antarctica City.

Lower Antarctica City
Lower Antarctica City is a furnished ice cave in West Antarctica, directly underneath Upper Antarctica City. Ggaming4u founded the city immediately when the country was formed, on July 31, 2017. It is a vast region, comprising houses, storage cells, political buildings, the palace of the monarch, and more. Lower Antarctica City is divided into several districts.

Tertium District
The most developed and capital district. Tertium District was completely destroyed after the Ekhinine Civil War, yet it was rapidly rebuilt, meant to be better than its predecessor. Tertium District is the original region of Ekhinni, and was formed on July 31, 2017.

Eorum District
Directly south of Tertium District, this area is mostly contained of houses. The first building was to be FuntimeFoxyPlays' new house after the destruction of Ekhida, yet was abandoned. The Ekhinine Unification Party was based in Eorum District, and earned a less than popular reputation among the socialists, yet was hailed as home by the loyalists, and thus has earned a lot of love.

Xanldar District
To the east of Eorum District lies the Xandlar District, named after SkylarWeston's and GalacticFurai's ship name, Xandlar It is designed to look as gloomy and socialist as visibly possible, and as such, is the central district for socialism and its practices. It contains large, sparse, stone buildings, for housing, and factories.

Vinson District
The Vinson District was directly north of Tertium District. By far the most undeveloped district, Vinson was only formed to appease SkylarWeston, as she didn't want her previously claimed land to become unoccupied by any forces. Vinson District comprises the cave Ekhinni uses for mining resources, and was a condominium of Ekhinni and North Ekhinni. Ggaming4u had a small idea of possible building a few houses in the southern region of the Vinson District, yet this plan hasn't come to fruition yet. The Vinson District was seized by the ENPF to become a classified project by the party.

Upper Antarctica City
Upper Antarctica City is a cozy region surrounded by a thick obsidian wall, directly above Upper Antarctica City. It includes many shops, trading nodes, and defensive towers. It was founded on August 7, 2017.

Chulund
Chulund is a costal town on Cobble Shores.

Gopniks
The Ekhinine Colony of the Gopniks, commonly known as The Empire of the Gopniks, was an Ekhinine colony located in Crimea. kievanrusmapping willingly created his faction as an Ekhinine Colony, under the condition that he would eventually gain independence.

Ekhida
The Ekhinine Colony of Ekhida, commonly known as Ekhida, is a former Ekhinine colony located in North Australia. It was created in the aftermath of the Ekhinine-Piepidan War, as FoxyPlaysMc still wanted to be in the Ekhinine sphere of influence. Ekhida was abolished on August 16, 2017, due to Foxy blowing up New Fliep.

Fowanta
The Ekhinine Colony of Fowanta, commonly known as Fowanta, was an Ekhinine colony located in Montana and Wyoming. It was created on the orders of DENISPlayzMc, on August 7, 2017, to allow FuntimeFoxyPlays to be in the sphere of influence once more. It declared independence on September 24, 2017.

Montrose
The Ekhinine Colony of Montrose, commonly known as Ekhinine Montrose, and sometimes referred to as Kolechia, is an Ekhinine colony located in south-western Colorado, on the northern tip of the Colorado river. It was created on November 28, 2017, yet the two factions that preceded it were both formed on November 23, 2017. It was created when AntonW123, DENISplayzMc and Savvas207 protested to improving relations with Switzerland.

Infernum
The Ekhinine Colony of Infernum, commonly known as Ekhinine Infernum, is an Ekhinine Nether colony around 500 blocks north-west of the spawn point. It was created on December 2, 2017.



Cael
The Ekhinine Colony of Cael, commonly known as Ekhinine Cael, was an Ekhinine End colony around 1000 blocks east of the main end island. It was created on January 2, 2018, but went to Floepida when the Anti-Floepidan Movement started in Ekhinni.

Culture
The Ekhinine citizens engage in pride for their nation. Some memorable parts of their culture is their dedication, tolerance of other factions and their people, and their joking nature. Ekhinians are generally more relaxed compared to Piepidans. The core culture was defined by SkylarWeston and DENISPlayzMc, yet elements of Floepidan culture was brought in by interacting with Greater Lazon.

Skylar Is Angry Machine
One of the main quirks of Ekhinine culture was the 'Skylar Is Angry' Machine (SIA). The origin of this machine dates back to the August 12 elections, as SkylarWeston was not in favor of DENISPlayzMc winning the Prime Ministerial Elections. She constantly opened and closed a door, to show that he was triggered. The next day, Skylar built a larger, redstone contraption, consisting of 5 doors that constantly opened at closed. This was the first version of the 'Skylar Is Angry' Machine. The second version was built in Querec, to be a larger, looser version. The third version was built when the Second Infrastructure Bill was passed, and the Diplomacy Room was rebuilt. It was a smaller, more compact, yet definitely more annoying version. This has become such a part of Ekhinine culture, it even went on the constitution, in Article 6 of the original Constitution.

Royal Glaicer
The First Flag, Royal Glacier, was the first, and only proposed flag for the First Ekhinine Empire, made by Ggaming4u. The blue represented the ice in Antarctica, and the black represented Lower Antarctica City, as a cave underneath the surface. The Fleur-de-lis represented the fact that Ekhinni was a constitutional monarchy.



People's Glaicer
The flag was redesigned after the Ekhinine Civil war. The blue was replaced with a deep purple, to symbolize royal socialism. The star and sickle in the center are direct copy pastes from the Communist Party (note: the hammer is not a direct copy), in the origional flag a Torch from the flag of the union of britain and a darker red were used on the flag.



Regius Secundi
Regius Secundi was based heavily on its father flag, The Royal Glacier. Regius Secundi is Latin for Second Royal Glacier. The blue was darkened and dulled, to accommodate the new blue wool style around Lower Antarctica City. The three stars are symbolic for three things, all ordered from left to right:
 * SkylarWeston, Ggaming4u, & DENISPlayzMc. These are the original citizens and government staff of Ekhinni.
 * Tertium District, Eorum District, & Xandler District. These are the three districts in Lower Antarctica City at the time of formation of the Second Ekhinine Empire.
 * First Ekhinine Empire, Ekhinine Commune, & Second Ekhinine Empire. These are the three stages of regimes in the Ekhinine state.

Capital Flag
The Flag of Antarctica City was actually designed as a flag for a potential Ekhinine Federation. The idea was scrapped, and so was the banner. However, Ggaming4u liked the flag so much, he adopted it as the flag for Antarctica City. The color pallet matches the one of Regius Secundi. The cross does not symbolize much, but the black spaces in between them do. They symbolize each of the 4 districts in Lower Antarctica City. The top one symbolizes the Vinson District, with it being the northern most region. The Xandler District takes the spot on the right, it being the district closest to the east. The bottom space is occupied by Eorum District. The white zone on the left symbolizes Tertium District, it being white to show its specialty as the capital district, and the 4 stars are also nods to each of the districts.

Cobble Colors
The Flag of Chulund was designed when Ggaming4u created the town, after the long neglected cobble hut was finally given a place in Ekhinni. The green represents the trees and grass in Chulund, the gray shows the cobble, and the light blue is a copy paste from the Royal Glacier, alluding to the time period the hut was created. The larger than normal Fleur-de-lis is also homage to the First Empire.

Rose of the Hill
The Flag of Ekhinine Montrose was designed by Ggaming4u for the colony. The whole flag is meant to be simplistic, yet beautiful, much like the colony. The yellow does not symbolize the Union Jack, but instead United Kolechia, one of the brother factions that eventually made the colony. The blue in the background is that of the Reguis Secundi, and you can guess what the Fleur-de-lis symbolizes.

Hadalic Banner
The Hadalic Banner was designed for Ekhinine Infernum by Ggaming4u. The red symbolizes the Nether and the Nazi Party that run the colony. The blue is also ripped from Reguis Secundi, and represents the society of the colony. After going down to reach the Nether, the bar splits off, showing that a society has developed. The black symbolizes the darkness of the nether, and how the colony will stay in the shadows, out of attack.

Imperial Rise
The dark blue symbolises the ice and snow around ekhinni

The Falanga symbolises fascism

National Anthem: Cold Flame of Justice
To The Tune of 抜刀隊 (Battotai)

Welcome to the land hidden deep within the ice,

yet our fires blaze brighter than the furious sun.

Anyone foolish enough to be our enemy,

will be shattered into pieces once our battle is done.

Our glorious citizens have built Ekhinni,

with virtues of perseverance and bravery.

This great nation is home of the pure and just,

the Royal Glacier shall reign in glory!

We have endured troubles and we will endure again,

we have been guided forward by a light in the distance.

This light is a flame, it fuels our bones and flesh,

hark! This flame is the cold flame of justice!

This flame is sharper than any sword,

slashing through evil, with no hesitation!

From our intact and grand cavern beneath the surface world,

our steaming flame of justice has set fire and spread.

Australia, Europe, America as such,

our prestigious culture, they have been fed.

Yet there are those who refuse liberty,

who would oppress beyond the devil's dreams.

It is our rightfully given job

to destroy all threats to democracy with any means.

We have endured troubles and we will endure again,

we have been guided forward by a light in the distance.

This light is a flame, it fuels our bones and flesh,

hark! This flame is the cold flame of justice!

This flame is sharper than any sword,

slashing through evil, with no hesitation!

Military Anthem: Incursion of the Alps
To The Tune of Erika

On a full moon the Ekhinine's stormed a hill;

Incursion of the Alps.

The autocrats tremble as our march begins;

Incursion of the Alps.

As our diligence finally fled

Bern-Zurich we soon began to shred.

On a full moon the Ekhinine's stormed a hill;

Incursion of the Alps.

Knocking on the doors of the Swiss Capital;

Incursion of the Alps.

The Blue Banner hurls into the horde of quartz.

Incursion of the Alps.

The oppressed around the world then rose,

no longer shackled by their old woes.

On a full moon the Ekhinine's stormed a hill;

Incursion of the Alps.

As our tranquil monarch halted the advanced;

Incursion of the Alps.

An Allium of amity is ceded;

Incursion of the Alps.

The Allium guides us to peace,

a brief utopia is leased.

So as you vanquish your enemies remember

Incursion of the Alps.

Trivia

 * The name Ekhinni was based off one of Ggaming4u and SkylarWeston's cities on Colenia, a separate server. The original name of this city was "Ekhinii Knot", which translates to "First City" in Mongolian, and was located in modern day Ghana.
 * The original motto was also based off Colenia. Ggaming4u and SkylarWeston were vassals under a powerful faction called Jorvia, and the motto 'The Revolution Starts One Day At A Time' was the pair's calling card for raids.
 * The second motto, "Tranquility, Justice, Equality", was made by Ggaming4u. It was the basis for Article 2 in the Commune Constitution.
 * Ekhinni was the first nation to go to war with and defeat another nation. In fact, Ekhinni has never lost a war.
 * Ggaming4u originally planned for his faction to be on the island of Cyprus, yet stumbled upon the ice cave now known as Lower Antarctica City by complete accident.
 * While Battotai was selected as the tune of the original national anthem, the Italian National Anthem (Fratelli d Italia) was also considered.
 * Due to the Socialist Revolution, many people saw The Ekhinine Commune as a subject state of Greater Lazon. While this may not be entirely true, it cannot be denied that Ekhinni had been in a state of decline due to social unrest.
 * Ggaming4u has stated that if the Second Empire collapses again, he will most likely not make a Third. Instead, he would either make an Ekhinine Federation or move to Europe.
