"All for the union of Terraria."

Terrarian National Anthem: Space Music The United Lunar States (French: États lunaires unis, Spanish: Estados Lunares Unidos, Italian: Stati Lunari Uniti, Catalan: Estats lunars Units) is an ancient nomadic republic, previously a guild, being officially founded about 12,500 BC when it made it to Space or, actually founded, 12,997 BC [1750 estimate] filled with about 35 million Terrarians, 2 million Spore Creatures, and 13 million Starbounders [1750 census]. ULS architecture is quite similar to futuristic architecture; giant buildings with points, and floating spaceships everywhere. However, the floating spacecraft do not have passengers; they are always automated. Terrarians are special in that they are usually divided into 5 roles (with some others): Fighter, Survivalist, Builder, Farmer, and Miner. Fighters defend the nation. Survivalists are usually ordinary civilians but possess some prowess. Builders build the ULS infrastructure and some act as artisans, blacksmiths, and crafters. Farmers create agricultural sites and feed the Terrarians, and lastly, Miners get the resources required to power items, and build new infrastructure. Plantera usually serves as their guardian (low cosmic), with the 4 Elemental Warriors occasionally serving in places where there are other heroes (such as Earth). The Terrarians themselves, usually have very strong warriors (1 per element), the elements themselves being Solar (the Melee element) Vortex (the Ranged element) Nebula (the Magic element) and Stardust (the Summoning element). These warriors are named Solarium, Vortexen, Nebulis, and Starduston. The ULS has a President, which is elected by the people (aka a Democracy). The current President of ULS is a Farmer named Teron and has been that way for about 36 years. He is defined as a normal ULS president compared to many other presidents in the scale: [Minor, Normal, Influential, Major] due to the rise of Plantera, their guardian. Plantera is not known as tyrannical and usually rules alongside the President. In the current time period, ULS wishes to become cordial with Kuromagna due to the similarities the two nations have. ULS consists of about 17% of the total Terrarian population in the Milky Way Galaxy, the most any Terrarian nation has despite being nomadic. They are also one of the most stable nations in the Milky Way, as not a single civil war has occurred since it had reached space (though one rebellion has occurred.). They are a mainly agrarian society, as industry isn't needed much to create new items. Some are even hunter-gatherers. However, the States were forced to leave Earth behind when GSC, one of the most powerful hordes of the galaxy (not nearly as powerful as spore-nationstates GSC), chose to invade the country. They mostly follow no religion, and are devoted to making as many circles as remotely possible throughout the galaxy. They have no territorial disputes with any nation for obvious reasons (being nomadic, they will abandon the territory they inhabit)

Pros

 * Terrarians can live for tens of thousands of years before turning into Ancient Terrarians, in which they live about 6000 years more before death.
 * Terrarians can survive extreme temperatures.
 * Terrarians are extremely skilled, mobile fighters, especially with wings.
 * Some Terrarians are smart.
 * Armour and equipment of the Terrarians are very durable.
 * Terrarians have excellent relations with Starbounders, a class that is less numerous and slightly less in strength, but is divided into several different orders.

Cons

 * Terrarians aren't durable unless they consume Heart Crystals/Life Fruits.
 * Terrarians are easily susceptible to traps (such as Poison Dart Traps, boulders, and the many traps of the Jungle Temple)
 * Terrarians take a while to settle down in locations; it may take years for ULS to officially set up things on Earth.
 * Terrarian Survivalists that actually attempt to defeat Terrarian Bosses rarely live.
 * Terrarians are rivals with the Spore Creatures; a more numerous race that is near equal in total power. A Spore can easily defeat a Terrarian with about adamantite armour and 400 HP. Although, Terrarians are slightly stronger due to their technology. This rivalry is very old and started around after the Battle of Cornea when false rumours came around that the ULS could attack at any moment and that Spores must attack first.

Languages
The most common languages are English, Spanish and French. Portugese, Catalan, Italian, Polish and Turkish are also common languages, as well as USL (Universal Spore Language) and its dialects.

Religion
The nation is mostly irreligious.

Client States
"'We promise we will treat you with respect under our servitude.'"Client States are divided into 4 types; Tributaries, Vassal States, Subsidiaries, and Satellites.

Tributaries are essentially taxed similarly to the United Lunar States. Vassal States are part of the United Lunar States but tax themselves, Subsidiaries are similar to Tributaries but slightly more independent, and Satellite states have almost all freedom to do as they please but must join the wars of the United Lunar States.

They can request to join the Lunar States and can skip the Survivalist stage, so long as:


 * 70% of that state's residents agree to join
 * 80% of that state's residents agree on the type of state the union will be in (Fighter, Farmer, Builder, Miner, etc)
 * Has been Client State for 10+ years

The United Lunar States lacks any vassals.

Protectorates
"'Do not fear, we shall protect your nation under any and all circumstances'"Protectorates are mostly independent on their own but are protected under ULS and also join its wars. What is different from an alliance, though, is


 * 1) Terrarians are in control of the government
 * 2) The empire joins the ULS even if ULS is the belligerent.

Protectorates can also ask to become a Client State under ULS as long as they:


 * Have been a protectorate for 15 years
 * Can sustain itself well as a Client State
 * Is not undergoing major instability
 * Atleast 60% of that state's residents agree to become a Client State
 * A Client State Type is chosen by that state and agreed upon by 75% of its residents

The United Lunar States has only one protectorate.


 * Kingdom of Lunitaria



Allies


"'We are greatly impressed by your actions, thus is why we are in a pact with you.'"Allies with ULS tend to cooperate with the nation, whether it be an economic or military alliance. Some are in a defensive pact.


 * Lost Empire - $
 * Terankoe - \U/ (Defensive)
 * Cornea - \U/Friend.png

Cordial Relations
"'We will not propose an official alliance with you yet, but we will accept trade relations or a non-aggression pact.'"Those with cordial relations to ULS often trade with the nation, and may become allies. This is the minimum for a union.


 * Kuromagna (may be one-sided)
 * Scorpio Spikal
 * Florae Empire
 * Empire of the Deep Sea
 * Norsai
 * Navy and Olive Domain

Neutral
"'We are interested in boosting relations with your nation.'"Nations with neutral relations have yet to improve or harm relations.


 * Declavan Empire
 * Boztonia
 * Personnia
 * Vermontedan
 * Brenica
 * Funtime Confederation of Tsarist States
 * Lui's Empire
 * UFS
 * Annihilate's Empire
 * Pyton Civilizations
 * Bosnia
 * Romania
 * Rising Sun Empire
 * Frozen Cascadia (unrecognized)
 * Austlandt
 * Qwerty
 * Ducky



Suspicious
"'There could be a scenario where war happens between the two of us. I would not want this to happen.'"These relations mean nothing except increased sensitivity from ULS. Starting relations with dangerous nations that have caused major wars in the past or are rivals.


 * Gammeria
 * Spore civilizations[[File:Annoyed.png|left|frameless|

]]

Dislikes/Rivals
"'You will hope you don't bring relations down any further; you do not want to risk war with ULS!'"Nations in this rank have poor relations with ULS and could risk war at any moment.


 * Great Corruption/Pink Corruption
 * Lurker Armies of Colossus
 * Grotesque Spore Creatures



Hostile
"'One more of that nonsense and it's war!'"Hostile relations is very close to a conflict with ULS. These nations have been at war or just have horrible relations.


 * Bots
 * Spore Rumour Spreaders
 * Miniknog Empire



At War
"'Prepare for annihilation.'"Nations at war with ULS are in active conflict.


 * Crimsonian Hivemind (Winning [3%])
 * Hiveminded Emirate of the Corruption (Winning [2%])
 * Grand Hivemind of the Hallow (Equal)



Total War
"'You have provoked us far enough. You shall be smited at once'""Nations at total war with ULS are fully mobilized in a massive conflict involving Civilians and military units."


 * ULS lacks any nations that it is at total war with.

Founding
The ULS was originally conceived by a group of Terrarians, about 470, who were part of a guild in a far away planet called Adamantia. Adamantia was a planet in a sector by the name of "The Prosperous Terrarian Worlds" which consisted of 3 stellar clusters in the northeastern portion, and was relatively small (although it still took 2000 years to exit) and the sector is named that as there is prosperous Terrarian life. The region is also known to be one of the richest in the Milky Way, behind about 8 other sectors including Earth. The guild on Adamantia was named 'The United Terrarians' and was part of the Kingdom of Mythril (not Mytheralia) which had thousands of minor guilds. The United Terrarians were one of the large ones and were competing for control for the Kingdom of Mythril.

Battle of Mytherlian City
A coalition of small, underequipped guilds attacked the United Terrarians and the Mythralien Confederation in the battle of Mytherlian City. Being underequipped, the two guilds decimated the coalition, and they fell back to a smaller town where they were backed by the largest guild in the Kingdom of Mythril; Tyros Country.

Tyros Country was a relatively authoritarian guild but it had 2,506 Terrarians, much more than Mythralien Confederation (368) and United Terrarians (470). The coalition (excluding Tyros) had about 46 members total all with armour worse than Titanium and equipment worse than Cobalt. However, Tyros unlike the two opposing guilds was not full end-game armour; some members had early game such as silver, gold or even copper armour. Only few members (about 132) were equipped with any armour or equipment better than Beetle or Turtle Armour. Most had Molten or early Hardmode armour.

Battle of Copse
The battle took place in 13,012 BC in the small town of Copse. Tyros charged but its forces were beaten back by the strong United Terrarians, who managed to suffer no casualties. Mythralien suffered 2. The Coalition minor guilds were entirely annihilated in North District (actually the western part of Copse). Tyros charged again and suffered half its guild lost. It then sent its endgame troops and a fierce battle took place in Iron Rock District of the city. Ultimately, it was a draw, with the Coalition minor guilds entirely destroyed, 53% of Tyros Country lost, 14% of the Mythraliens and 9% of the United Terrarians. It was a strategic victory for the Mythraliens-United Terrarians who successfully held back against Tyros. Eventually, a breakaway state would form called the Vortex Empire, a pro-UT state.

Union and Creation of ULS
Mythralien Confederation, United Terrarians, Vortex Empire, and a large amount of several minor guilds formed the ULS, the strongest guild with about 1,595 Terrarians (Tyros was halved in population, then 1/4 of its pop was lost). The United Lunar States was a defensive guild and held Copse, Mytherlian City, Teyi, Ponf, Vortexia, Conjon, and its capital, Solaria. Solaria was the second largest city in Mythril. The unification of ULS angered rival guilds which would trigger the Wars to Maintain ULS Independence.

Wars to Maintain ULS Independence
A coalition of guilds, Tghien Alliance, consisting of mostly copper armors but were huge in hordes with about 960 Terrarians, attacked Ponf of ULS. The battle was in a small city, but ULS victory would cause Tghien to lose over half of its manpower. The ULS troops attacked Yui and conquered the city with little opposition. They continued to march into Tghien territory until the battle of the capital, Bonjir, began.

Battle of Bonjir
Bonjir was the deadliest battle of the war. ULS attacked and scrambled the city defenses easily and marched into the citadel where a long fight would begin. ULS lost about 3% of its MP; the Tghien Alliance dissolved and signed peace. ULS seized all of its cities and Tghien fled to the southeast where they would cause terror upon the minor guilds of the region.

Pax Lunaria
ULS would remain in peace for about 700 years as the Mythril federal troops repelled foreign invasions. Pretty simple. However...

Entering Outer Space
Then, an event would happen as technology advanced and Mythril modernized. ULS would be the first Mythrilan guild to build a rocket to space. Adamantia has 4 moons that can each act as landing points. Then, wings were developed in the very same guild. Wings were very helpful as they could bring one to space. The first wings were rudimentary and could only reach the floating islands. About 20 years later, however, they reached space. The ULS had been officially formed coinciding with the new year: 12,500 BC. Soon the wings reached the first of Adamantia's moons. They even met Plantera who they befriended. But sadly, it was time to exit their homeworld and become a nomadic society. With about 12 thousand members, they invented the Solar Wings which can fly across three whole solar systems and the Grand Luminite Wings, which can fly across entire galactic sectors. There have been further known designs. And with that, they began flocking with the Solar Wings to a new solar system. In their journey, they would attract new Terrarians into their giant, nomadic society.

Flocking Across Worlds
The ULS flocked across solar systems, occasionally encountering habitable planets with a guild-like system of their own. The Terrarians of some of these guilds joined the ULS in the journey across the galaxy. Due to their relatively early wings (Not even Grand Luminite was too fast) it took 2,500 years to cross into the Pyton Sector, a predominantly Spore sector. In 10,000 BC a Spore world named Yes-B was found marking the entrance to the Pyton Sector. There, the giant nomadic horde would rest in a nearby barren planet and invent new wings. These wings were faster and allowed ULS to travel across longer distances. The Solar Wings were abandoned and the GLW were made much faster. By 9,700 BC they were already exiting the Pyton Sector and rested at the Jonbon Sector. The cycle repeated until 6,000 BC when they made the Aether Wing, which can travel across entire solar systems in just hours. When the wing was made, travel was made much quicker and much less exhausting. But, then an event would occur when ULS would have to fight, around 2,100 BC.

The Bot Wars : The Bot Armies vs ULS
The Bot Armies intercepted the nomads at Timpo Planet, where the battle of Timperano, the capital, would begin. The Bot Armies charged into the city, where the natives, Terankoes would attack. A Spore phylum by the name of Lightbo would siege the bot armies but are later destroyed. Terankoes put up a fierce resistance in Timperano, eliminating half of the division before finally surrendering. Then, ULS came in and the bots were unable to score much hits. They eventually surrendered at Timperano and fell back to the twin cities on a different planet, Ceylik and Poponng.

Ceylik and Poponng were about 10 km apart but the bot armies would strike a split ULS army. They attacked and the Terankoes in both cities came to the defence. It was not as effective and the bot armies were ruthlessly bombed with no way of attacking as their weapons were near useless against Solar, Vortex or Nebula armor. They had some chance of attacking the Stardusts but had to surrender. The battle resulted in 120k Terankoe deaths, 270k Bot deaths, and 1k ULS deaths.

The bot armies would soon leave the planet allowing ULS to continue its journey, just 8 months after war began.

Battle of Cornea
The ULS would land in a planet in a nearby solar system, just 12 parsecs away, to create new weapons for them to use. They would become effective in the next war in Cornea, where the Bot Armies would come once again.

The Bot Armies begin the Battle of the City of Cornea. The native Spores, the Eyewalkers, were pushed away by the Bot Armies but it was pyrrhic; Bot Armies sustained a huge amount of losses pushing the Eyewalkers. ULS then began an encirclement of the Bot Armies. The Bot Armies were captured by ULS and sent to space; where they decay in the Huge Junk Pile of Cornea. This battle would start rumours throughout the Spores, that Cornea knew were false.

Battle of Lothoronia
The Battle of Lothoronia was what caused Lunitaria, a small, nomadic nation of Hylotls from Starbound, to become a protectorate of the ULS (in which they still are today). This took place in their capital at the time, Lothoronia. The Bot Armies had pushed off the Hylotls on the other planets; their capital was now exposed. A massive battle took place for the solar system, which took the Bots 9 months to enter Lothoronia's SoI due to fierce Lunitarian resistance. After finally taking the Mining station nearby, they began the Battle for Lothoronia's Moon, Tyronia.

After a 3-month battle, Tyronia was captured. Following the easy capture of space stations surrounding the planet and the destruction of its garrison fleet, the Bots began the assault of Lothoronia. But then, a foreign ally of the Lunitarian Empire had come. ULS.

The Lunar States wanted to stop the expansion of the Bot Armies and an immense battle for Lothoronia began. The Bot Armies charged into the planet, easily taking Ruskovia and Henshin in just 2 weeks. They managed to make it to Gyun Province and nearly to the capital, Listerania. The Bot Armies surged into the capital, where ULS landed. A brutal battle for Listerania would begin.

The Bot Armies entered into the Old Grand Pagoda Library, a massive archive of books of events taking place before the Floran-Hylotl Wars (that would happen just 90 years later and would force the Hylotls out. As a result they would become a ULS protectorate) and the Bot Invasion. However, the Hylotl troops managed to defeat the bot armies in the Old Grand Pagoda Library and sent them running, but the city was encircled and they advanced on the Capitol. Then, ULS would come.

ULS managed to easily defeat the bots, as they had done many times before. They, with the help of native forces, forced the bots out of Lothoronia and out of the Lunitaria. Then, Lunitaria would apply to join ULS as a protectorate, and they are still a protectorate today. These 5 major victories over the bots caused them to ceasefire with ULS. Fun fact: Listerania has SEVERAL times more people than Mytherlian City.

Siege of the Asteroid, Aristonia
After being pushed out of Listerania, the Bots turned their sights on the important mining colony of Aristonia. The asteroid it inhabited was about 190 km large, nearly as large as a small moon.

The Bots still maintained prominence in the Bot Wars of the Galaxy (shown below) and were hungry to continue expanding into other lands.

The assault began on the asteroid that month, and only lasted 2 hours. It was driven back by Hylotl forces. Soon, a blockade of the asteroid was imposed by ships, causing the Siege of Aristonia.

The Siege was easily broken by ships from the Grand Coalition of Nations to the southeast. It is about the same size as ULS. The Bot Armies were driven back, ending the siege of Aristonia.

The area between the Core Planets and the Scutum-Centaurus Arm was a huge hotspot for fighting between Bot Armies and their enemies. Surprisingly, none of the Energy Corps were involved. The final battle against ULS occurred just around 1,260 BC when PE civilization was just beginning, and nearly 1000 years after Timperano. Soon, around 1700 AD (Earth time not ULS time), nearly 3000 years after the Battle of Listerania, the Bot Wars would finally end with a failed invasion of the Spore Creatures on Earth and the capture of the capital, Botana, by coalition forces.

The Creation of the Elemental Emperors
The Elemental Emperors would be proposed by Plantera and chosen by a massive 1000-person battle royale (Plantera would revive those who are killed). There, 4 emperors, all around high mid-tier, would be created to ensure stability in the massive empire. The Elemental Emperors would make sure the ULS doesn't end up dying. The Battle Royale ended up narrowing to 200 after the first hours and 100 after a day. It narrowed into 50 in three days then 10 in just over a week. After about 3 weeks, the 5th place was finally defeated and the 4, a Stardust, Vortex, Nebula and Solar are chosen as the Emperors. Today, the emperors who won the Battle Royale at around 1,200 BC still exist today.

Journey Toward the Planet Earth
After hearing of a very prosperous planet named Earth, ULS began travelling to its estimated coordinates from other empires who know the location of the planet. It took a while to actually know the location from a nearby nation named 'GSC' who knew the coordinates to the planet. In 60 BC, they entered the Procyon system to rest for 57 years and tinker new tech, in which they improved their weapons using a planet of the system's resources. Then they moved directly toward the Solar System and drifted toward the Earth, landing in Scandinavia to a 'comet' or the leaving Spores.

The Wars of Earth
As ULS landed, they had to deal with conflicts against the remaining Spores but managed to conquer Denmark, Sweden and the remainder of Norway and Finland. However, they had to neutralize Fascismo Spore, the Eyelactic Republic, the Erish, the Maggots, GSC, Burria and CST. The Maggots and Erish offered to join ULS as official Survivalists. Fascismo Spore tried to invade ULS but was ultimately crushed. The Eyelactic Republic invaded Norsai causing ULS to invade. CST managed to put up a fight but was crushed, and finally the remainder of GSC was crushed easily. Burria was left alone but is increasingly being influenced by ULS and more willing to join as a Survivalist state (which it would do). Being influenced by Kuromagna's ethireal/ethereal technology and UFS technology, it may develop a incredibly fast wing there that can fly across a solar system in about 45-50 minutes in order to make a full cycle around the Galaxy. However, the threat of the nearby Spore Creatures is increasing every day...the massive hordes of the native GSC (much weaker than Spore-Nationstates/Nationstates GSC) can easily force the United Lunar States out due to the sheer population of the hordes...it has warned everyone. The Spores are coming. Whether the Grotesque Spore Creatures comes in peace or to reclaim its territories, no one knows. No one knows WHEN it will come. Be ready...

ULS then released its Spore territories, which caused a civil war; Novo Spore Empire (Neo Spore Empire) victory. Novo Spore Empire invaded the ULS mainland and failed horribly. ULS was united once again.

And then something catastrophic would occur to the nation...

War with the Grotesque Spore Creatures
Then...that fateful day occurred. GSC issued an official declaration of war to ULS, and just 3 days later to Norsai...

Then, GSC invaded North Specia and invaded the ULS mainland, managing to conquer the lands with ease and forcing ULS out. This was the first major defeat ULS had received in millennia. ULS then began migrating out of the solar system. The prophecies, were infact, true. The invasion was in fact occurring, ULS was warning them this whole time. It was also the first time ULS was forced out of a planet instead of voluntarily moving.

GSC was the fiercest opponent the States had faced since its creation; not even the Bots were able to match its power. However, after accepting a request with Kuromagna, GSC is no longer at war with ULS. It was later known that several Spore officials had decided to lead the war without King Baa's consent in a military junta but the population was made to believe King Baa was leading it, causing King Baa himself to make peace with all nations involved and the officials to be executed.

Second Bot War
With the rising Bots throughout the galaxy, The Second Bot War began. The Bots have attacked Cornea once again and were driven away once again by ULS and prepared Eyewalker forces.

Joining ULS
Note: You can become any of these ranks after 3 years of being in the union. The 3-5 or 3-4 is just recommended years in the union. Note; if your state joins the union, it is a good idea to teach civilians mass migration; ULS moves A LOT.

Trivia

 * The GSC invasion and the results of Cornea were the cataclysts for ULS distrust/resent toward Spore Creatures (who have grown more racist in the past, especially GSC. Why? The Spore Coalition War and harsh treaties imposed by kuromagna). It is still possible, as a Spore civilization, to ally or even unite with ULS.
 * Lunitaria also has a resentment toward Spores, but not because of the rumour spreading, but because of a real Spore invasion which had been repelled. The belligerent was a group of Spore nations, the Spore Core Coalition (SCC), 31 years before the Bot invasion.
