Herrich was a nation that existed from 62BFG-8AFG and resided on the Nothern Continent.

Geography and pre-culture
Herrich sat on the left-center of the Northern Continent. Before the formation of the nation, the area was known as little more then a frozen backwater filled with tribals bickering and fighting for whatever land could be made.

The majority of Herrich was grasslands while southern Herrich was filled with beaches.

Formation of Herrich
Herrich was originally a state of Ferra after the collapse of the Empire of Man. In 65AFG Harold Von Darren declared succession from Ferra following and failed colonial coup. After 3 years of fighting Herrich gained independence and Von Darren as its 1st President.

Military
Herrich's military was a defense force made up of volunteer troops. There was no need for an expansive or well-equipped military. Most Herrich soldiers were under-equipped and lacked the amount of training seen with other nations of the time.

Politics
President Harold Von Darren ruled over Herrich till his death in 8AFG and was Herrich's sole president. His Isolationist sentiment was carried into official policy as Herrich denied any foreign aid or expansion.

This proved a detriment when the nation of Gargantia invaded Motu, resulting in thousands of deaths.

Capitol Rebellion
When the public learned of Herrich's denial of aid during the Fall of Gargantia. Fringe movements like the Herrich Fascist party rose to prominence asserting that Herrich's Isolation has killed more lives then it could have ever saved.

With backing from foreign nations such as Ferra Imporium and Fructum Imperii, these parties merged into the Herrich Imperial Movement and declared war on the government.

Fights in the streets if Capitol City raged for 2 years until a bomb exploded in President Von Darren's office, killing him and his cabinet. In the power vacuum, the Imperial Movement rose to prominence and its leader Edward Mathews II made himself president of the Herrich Empire, officially ending Herrich as a nation.
