"What if I'm do something wrong or am unknowingly bearing contraband?" were thoughts that went through his head, but they were unfounded.

The samurai in charge of the routine search stand before Lord Ukishiro once they have finished and bow, before opening the gates.

Despite not noticing anything external, Genta suspected the foreigners might have felt uncomfortable during the search. It was never a pleasant situation, and he hated it most than ever, but precautions were rationally founded.

From the Southern Gate, they would go north for a few dozens of meters and then go east until they reached a small, one-storey palace. At the same time, an elegant, younger canine arrived from another direction on a horse and dismounted it. Genta got off his horse and performed dogeza.

"Your Royal Highness, these are the Scottish instructors" he said in Japanese. The younger canine approached them with a serious-looking face and nodded.

"Professors, this is the Royal Husband Hozumi" Genta explained in Japanese to the foreign guests. "He will be your employer, and he would like you to instruct two of the King's children."

(So sorry, I've got very little free time since the strike ended)

Hozumi looked at them as if he was examining them for a moment, yet trying not to stare too intensely. Then, he spoke in a very rudimentary Scots to the foreign instructors.

"Come me. Your new students here" and turned around, heading towards the building near them.

Lord Ukishiro gestured for them to follow the Royal Husband into the wooden structure as he would walk by their side.

The Royal Husband entered the wooden building and left the sliding door open behind himself for his guests to follow inside.

Despite its exterior closed appearence, the interior would be gracefully illuminated as its wood-and-paper walls were open towards the back and lateral garders, filling its rooms with a mixture of warm sunlight and green reflections from the surrounding vegetation. A koi pound would be visible from the very entrance on the other side of the structure.

Hozumi removed his shoes before stepping on the tatami and went to the area were two figures were already sitting un seiza. They greeted each other and ended up sitting next to each other.

Meanwhile, Lord Ukishiro would stop at the entrance and nod at the instructors, gesturing for them to enter without him.

Once they would have entered, the Royal Husband would speak a slow Japanese, trying to let the foreigners understand as much as they could.

"These are Prince Taiki and Princess Ikumi. We usually don't allow commoners to get this close to the members of the Royal Family, but for the sake of their learning and readiness to face an increasingly interconnected world, I ask you to be as comfortable with them as possible, and may you help them become as good as native speakers of Scots and Gaelic."

He finished with a nod of respect. The instructors might not noticed it yet, but the Kurotsume society valued teachers and instructors almost as much as nobility.

While the prince and princess remained silent for now, Taiki showed a serious-looking face as he usually did during first encounters, while Ikumi smiled slightly, being a lot more confident than her brother.

After taking a moment to observe the room in awe, the two instructors took a moment to process what was just stated to them. The professor then replied in slow and broken Japanese, "We will happily carry out tasks, and again, it is honor to be able to instruct your children." She then bowed slightly towards the Royal Husband out of respect, and then to the two kids.

Post self-deleted by King of the Ghosts.

If anyone's interested, I wrote a thing

Chapter I: Beginnings

It's worth pointing out that TGFS founded the ULN many months before the date below, but he was alone there, not doing much, so the actual founding occurred a bit later, in my view.

The region was established by The Great French State on October 31st, 2017. This was Z-Day, and as such, borders were temporarily closed. The first Parliament of the region was created.

The region began its first of many roleplay (RP) events during Z-Day. They also joined the Alliance of Small Regions (AMR), a multi-regional alliance. This alliance died very quickly due to inactivity from the other regions.

Chapter II: Early Growth and Development

Many prominent members of the later ULN joined pretty early in its history, such as 224 and Spaceania. Political parties were created, and the legendary Tinhampton joined. Two militaries were set up. The first military was a peacekeeping force used only for defense, although it could also be used against raider regions. This army was owned privately by the Democratic party. Second, the official military to be used more traditionally.

The first election commenced, and the Democrats won. The Grand Socialist Party was also formed and received seats in Parliament. A regional census was created.

The peacekeeping army was sent on its first defending mission. The National Assembly, a lower house of the Parliament, was envisioned and was being tinkered with at this time. Grande sumba became Delegate, and although they felt unqualified for the position, they led the ULN for a time.

Afterwards, 224 was elected Delegate because of Grande Sumba's confidence issues. This established the precedent of Delegates being elected informally based solely on WA nations' endorsements and not actual elections as other regions do.

The Grand Socialists underwent a bit of a schism, with some starting the new Social Liberal Party. All three main parties had equal political standing, none dominating the others. Meanwhile, the Peacekeepers became the Napoleonic Guards (NG) while the official army became the French Foreign Legion; however, the name Peacekeepers was still used to describe the NG.

Some moments of importance at this time were The New World being liberated by the NG, and the National Assembly was officially ratified and put into being. The NG then began a large-scale campaign of defending, to much success.

The validity of independent candidates became a hot-button issue for a while, but the independents were declared legal, and the matter subsided over time. Meanwhile, the official names for the armies were dropped, and the generally accepted and used ones were the Democratic Party Militia/the Peacekeepers and ULN Militia.

The ULN's two armies began increasing in size to the point that the ULN had several colonies, leading to an extended period spent solely on managing them and sorting out regional alliances and relationships.

Chapter III: The Government Debate

Grande Sumba returned to political prominence when they unexpectedly became the Delegate, prompting a back-and-forth between them and 224. Some nations called into question whether or not formal elections should be established for the Delegate position, which started a more significant discussion about the government in general. (This was because WA Nations had chosen Grande Sumba, whereas a popular referendum selected 224.)

This discussion eventually turned to complaints about the complex nature of the government, so Spaceania created a rough draft of the Government of the ULN as they would like it. Catalonya, the mastermind of the National Assembly, raised issues over the idea of provinces within the region as Spaceania had suggested. The argument quickly turned into how the region should be run.

As the conversation was underway, Catalonya suddenly claimed that the nation Puma gradualness (Puma) was actively planning a coup against the region and had approached them regarding it.

Puma was the Vice President of the Democratic Party, thereby implicating Spaceania (as the President). Spaceania immediately denied any knowledge of a coup. As the debate escalated, Spaceania accused Catalonya of crafting the narrative of a coup to remove Spaceania's ideas from the discussion. Puma claimed to have been asking people if they wanted to leave for a new region they were starting, a far cry from a coup. Puma felt attacked and decided to leave the ULN for this new region.

Puma's departure ended the heated debate over Spaceania's "coup." Catalonya continued making enemies due to their often condescending and lengthy writing style. 224 announced their intention to leave the ULN primarily due to the drama.

Chapter IV: True Culprit Revealed

After a short cooldown, Puma unexpectedly returned and claimed that Catalonya had attempted to recruit them for a real coup against Spaceania specifically. 224 then entered the conversation from their new region and backed up Puma. 224 claimed that Catalonya tried to convince them that Spaceania was trying to get rid of them. These revelations caused most people to side with Puma. Catalonya quickly lost all support for their side, especially when they called Puma and 224 "beta males" and stated that they were superior to the others since they were European. Catalonya was also caught blatantly editing Puma's quotes, so far as to make them twice as long as the original quotes.

Puma regained their previous positions within the Democratic Party and got their citizenship back. After seeing their support slip away, Catalonya began accusing everyone of being the coup masterminds, and they very quickly became an obnoxious criminal in the eyes of everyone. Then, a bombshell was unleashed.

In a very long post, Municipal states, a minor political figure, revealed that Catalonya had recruited them to act as a spy with the end goal of essentially couping the region. This was the final nail in the coffin for Catalonya, as TGFS stepped in at this time after quietly observing everything. They and Spaceania coordinated the official trial of Catalonya to begin immediately.

Catalonya began a downward spiral, going to insults and other demeaning actions. After a short while, TGFS took the initiative and banjected Catalonya outright.

Chapter V: Stability

After Catalonya was banned, Puma left the ULN to pursue their new region (the Free Union of Nations/FUN) full-time. 224 joined FUN.

A dual government emerged after a tie in the election between Spaceania and Paisos valencians (Paisos), the leader of a minor communist movement. Tinhampton also entered the higher levels of government in this election cycle. It was then discovered that Puma said some anti-ULN things, and then some minor drama ensued. Puma continued with their negative posts to the point that the ULN closed its embassy.

During this time, something incredible happened. The nation Lindesia first joined NS in the ULN. This is incredible because Lindesia would later form the International League of Nations (ILN), a powerhouse and a significant player in all of NationStates in 2018, although the region is dead now.

Anyways, a minor controversy occurred when Paisos suppressed some posts critical of him, removed a lot of tags from the region, and added bizarre tags such as raider and anti-capitalist, leading to a massive backlash against them. This occurred as Tinhampton questioned why Spaceania had a puppet in FUN.

TGFS and Space resolved the situation peacefully when Space deleted their FUN puppet, stating that they believed people could have multiple nations in different regions, but they respected Tinhampton's concern. After that, Paisos Valencians was fired as Co-President of the ULN by TGFS, leaving Space as sole President while Tinhampton was Delegate.

After that, Puma was declared the "complete master" of FUN. The ULN then found out about the existence of Puma's puppets within the ULN and cracked down on them, the most notable of which was Paisos. It was later revealed that Puma had no puppets and that this was a trick by Puma to get rid of some ULN people he didn't like. 224 came back from FUN after being banjected there.

After the puppet bans, both Lindesia and Tinhampton left. Lindesia's sister's nation had been unfairly caught up in the bans, and Tinhampton saw the government as ineffective against Puma and decided to go.

Chapter VI: The Great Troubles

A region called The Free Sovereign Nations (FSN) issued two warnings of an invasion of the ULN. Some FSN members signed these warnings, notably the nation Kitten Combines (KC), who will be important later. The FSN said they were hired by an anonymous person or persons who claimed to have been mistreated by the ULN.

No one took the threat seriously since TGFS was an executive founder and could easily undo all damages to the region. But after the FSN was revealed to be a massive invader force, TGFS decided to play it safe and made peace.

After that, FUN refounded with Assyeria, a prominent FSN member, in the new office of Co-Founder. (Puma was still in charge and retained significant influence, though.) Assyeria then pressured Puma into making embassies peacefully with the ULN, and the ULN agreed so long as no one from FUN did anything stupid. However, it was just a short time before something significant happened.

Assyeria received some crucial information and revealed it to the ULN. Catalonya, using the puppet KC from earlier, was attempting to subvert both the ULN, FUN, and FSN. As it turned out, the FSN threat of invasion from earlier was a fraud. KC created this threat of their own initiative, and the actual FSN was not involved in any part of it. KC planned to enter FUN, wait until they had a lot of influence, and banject everyone. Next, KC would use their lofty government position within the FSN to destroy the ULN and blame Puma. By the time Assyeria posted this information to the ULN's RMB, they had already coordinated with Puma to banject Catalonya/KC and their puppets from FUN.

Catalonya/KC went on damage control and banned many people from FSN. After posting on the ULN RMB, KC was banned from there. The FSN and KC entered a battle over the FSN. The FSN and Assyeria withdrew from the FUN during this battle, and Puma regained complete control. The battle ended after the FSN successfully banned Catalonya/KC from the region, and everyone rejoiced.

Tinhampton returned and became Delegate quickly due to their popularity. Meanwhile, Lindesia's ILN was being set up into its modern form.

It was then found that Catalonya/KC was banned from NS entirely after repeatedly breaking site rules, and the ULN celebrated.

Chapter VII: Peace

The ULN had just defeated its greatest enemy, and peace returned after so much time spent fighting. 224 left for the ILN but returned shortly afterward. A merger of the FUN and ULN was in the works between Puma and TGFS. The ULN's militaries also began the first major operation in a while, creating several new colonies.

The ULN's "Ad Victoriam!" catchphrase was first used here. The merger was agreed to, and the FUN moved to the ULN, with Puma being given the position of Vice Delegate. Puma began doing something similar to Paisos, removing and adding tags. The merger was soon determined to be a coup attempt, and Puma was banned. After a mass warning system went off (first used during Catalonya's ban), Puma was banned from over 12 regions and ULN colonies.

The FUN fell apart, followed by the FSN, where Puma gained a prominent position. The FSN under Puma refounded to the Royal Sovereign Nations, which tried and failed to pose any threat to anyone. Puma was then deleted from NS for unknown reasons. Malumynumen (Mal) joined the ULN around here.

During this time, the remnants of the FUN were conquered by the ULN.

Adylica first appeared here as the founder of Adylicatpeel EMPIRE (AE, see the History of AE and the UFN for more). This was back when AE was a raiding region. Adylica was also the founder of the UFN.

RP flourished, beginning an extended period where RP was the primary purpose of the region instead of politics. A long time passed without any significant events.

Chapter VIII: The Great Inactivity

In an infamous spectacle across NationStates, the summer of 2018 was host to one of the worst inactivity plagues the site has ever seen, and the ULN was also affected. During this time, Adryvia became involved with the ULN and Lardyland.

The ULU Local Group was formed, being the unofficial alliance between the ULN, UFN, and Lardyland.

Lesbia, a prominent ULN member, joined.

The ULN-Lardyland relationship grew, and Spaceania became involved in both regions heavily. Adryvia did something similar.
Spaceania created a series of factbooks explaining the government, which helped boost government participation.

During this time, the Lily War occurred, an event I won't detail here but is described in my other histories (namely Lardyland and the UFN), and the ULN had some involvement. Adryvia worked for the Lardyland/Lily forces and, as such, caused controversy, but it died down quickly. Ultimately the ULN had no interest in the conflict and once even told Adylica to go away upon mentioning the affair.

Chapter IX: Transition in Culture

The ULN began a culture change soon after the Lily War ended. Lardyland natives posted more regularly, which is what prompted this. Interestingly, the Lard culture and the native RP meshed naturally and effortlessly. Meanwhile, a newspaper was created, and editions were issued.

However, for unclear reasons, the ULN-Lardyland alliance broke down. I speculate that the ULN began to see Lardyland as a joke region that relied too heavily on memes. Adryvia was banned from Lardyland. (Not sure why)

Later, Spaceania began remaking old documents such as the citizen test and various laws. Kittydog/The Finnish USSR, later a prominent UFN figure, joined the ULN at this time.

Chapter X: A New Alliance

Orange nassau joined and caused drama with TGFS over Spaceania's involvement in making bills, which some saw as too much power. Importantly, Adryvia supported Nassau, giving credibility to the argument. Ultimately the argument was left unresolved; however, this sentiment persisted for a long while afterward. By this point, the region was still a democracy, but Spaceania, with TGFS's support, had a clear path to staying in various high offices for the foreseeable future. Most people recognized this but agreed it wasn't a big deal since Spaceania had the region's best interests in mind. After this incident, the Universal Freedom Alliance (UFA) was created with the ULN as its foremost member. The UFN joined it.

Then, Spaceania made an amendment discussing the role of ministries. This was met with more than the usual opposition, led by Tinhampton. They didn't like it mainly because the constitution already defined the role and questioned why Space wanted to redefine it. Spaceania was successful after getting the amendment passed, but this event is notable since it was one of the few times Spaceania's laws faced serious opposition.

Chapter XI: Minor Dramas

A history of the region was made and was updated until around February 2019ish. (Hence me making this one.) Pinochet Executionists, the Delegate of Lardyland, became involved with the ULN and achieved some political office and a small following. Their most significant actions were a proposed senate reform bill and a run for a role in the Federal Council, an upper legislative body. The ULN hit 40 nations at this time. Pinochet won the position and officially proposed the bill, which passed.

When the Oscarian Civil War broke out in an unrelated region (see my history about it for more info), Adylica tried recruiting the ULN to their side (The Kingdom of Oscaria). Tinhampton called Adylica out for sending recruitment telegrams without marking them as such. The Commonwealth side then contacted TGFS, and the ULN joined it after realizing that they were the legitimate government of Oscaria. Adylica later withdrew from the conflict.

The RP flourished again; meanwhile, the ULN Militias, which had long since lost their original purposes, merged into the Imperial Army.

Chapter XII: The UFN Strikes Again

The UFN left the UFA and created the UFRC. The UFRC's original members were the UFN, Lardyland, Nasunia, Actually Nothing, and the Iberian Empire (The remnants of the Kingdom of Oscaria). The ULN was asked to join but refused, saying that the alliance was identical to the UFA, except that the UFN got more power. Spaceania raised concerns that this alliance was more of a UFN-dominated empire, and Adylica indicated their agreement with that statement. This incident severely strained UFN-ULN relations, as the UFN was seen as a power-hungry region led by an equally power-hungry tyrant.

Around here, I joined NS in the ULN under Lord of the spectres. I asked why some stuff was happening since I didn't know. I left for Lardyland soon after due to Adylica, who had been annoying people there for a long time.

Actually Nothing withdrew from the UFA following the UFN's statements. At this point, the UFA only consisted of the ULN and Lardyland, and Adryvia proposed disbanding the whole thing. The Lardyland-ULN relationship deteriorated following some drama regarding Adryvia, and the UFA was over.

Chapter XIV: Foreign Policy

It's worth mentioning here that The United Empires of Carson (UEC) was a region that was a close ally to Lardyland and had existed in the local area for a while. Still, they became a significant power within this region of NS by this time.

TGFS was becoming increasingly inactive, and although they were on vacation mode, they'd CTE soon. The ULN discussed what to do, and Carson engaged in a debate over it. The result was inconclusive, but they decided they'd refound with Space or someone as the founder.

Adylica tried getting the ULN to join the UFRC again but failed. Frustrated, Adylica insinuated that Mal wanted the UFN dead and their embassies closed, which went nowhere and was dropped. After Lardyland controversially "raided" the Embassy, the ULN closed embassies and officially disbanded the UFA, though it was already dead in practice. The Yellow Empire raided the Iberian Empire, and it fell. TGFS was so inactive that the ULN decided they'd refound unless they got active again. Pinochet proposed a Lardyland-ULN alliance, which was rejected.

After an extended period of peace and calm, the Ballpit scandal happened in Lardyland. (In summary, Ballpit infiltrated the LL ranks, used mass suppression under the ruse "following site rules," was caught, then ejected.) This mildly affected relations when among the chaos, Adylica tried yet again to get the ULN to join the UFRC and failed again.

Chapter XV: New Developments

Because the nation Adylica was plagued with bad history and drama, the person behind it gave it to Spaceania and made Aestorus and Aestorusia, the latter founded the Free Enclave, the temporary UFN successor state.

TGFS was about to die, and everyone knew, so plans for the new founder emerged. As the line of succession was created, they CTEd. Methods to archive the old region on Wayback were devised and later executed. (These were my primary source for all of this!) During this time, Adylica/Aestorus tried getting the new region to join the "Enclave Empire" and failed.

Chapter XVI: The Transition and Later Developments

Adryvia became the new founder, and Lesbia became the Delegate. The old government was introduced into the new region, and elections commenced. Another dispute arose over Spaceania's possible over-involvement in government, but it was resolved peacefully. TGFS refounded and returned to a rejoicing ULN. They expressed their wish not to be the founder again.

Meanwhile, Spaceania became inactive, too inactive. They were in danger of CTEing, and the ULN went into a mild panic. On March 16th, 2018, Spaceania CTE'd, was put in a similar state as TGFS before their return. Thankfully they returned a few months later.

Afterwards, the UFN and ULN began discussing a merger; however, the details surrounding this proposed merger are not publicly known. To my knowledge, the only thing the public had access to regarding the union was a single post on the UFN's RMB, which just said the merger was happening. Most curiously, the ULN didn't even acknowledge the merger's existence (I found no mention of it on the RMB), and the UFN was up in arms over it (most active members did not like it). The merger was eventually suspended by the ULN and outright canceled by an extremely reluctant Adylica.

After a while of peace and regular activities, some members wanted to change the region based on perceived corruption in government, mainly regarding how a group of five or so nations was solidly in charge of the region. This sparked a more significant debate over the region's future. Spaceania granted these requests for change, and the region transitioned into a new form of government.

Chapter XVII: A New Merger

After a short discussion, the ULN merged with Meat (Lardyland's temporary successor state) to form the Union of Lardy Nations (UMN, formed around March 16th, 2020); however, the merger was short-lived. It failed because one disgruntled founding member (Mal) left and took half the government with him after not being given the office that was promised to him. Despite the other half of the government's best efforts, Pinochet Executionists, the head of government, didn't respond quickly enough to prevent a regional collapse around April 8th, 2020. (See my history of Lardyland for more.)

Chapter XVIII: Post-UMN

Shortly after the UMN, many prominent ULN members moved on to other things, including Spaceania, Adryvia, Mal, and others. The ULN became very inactive and stayed at around ten members for a long time. Around October 2nd, 2020, the region entered a state of hibernation and has been dead since then.
