Having been created on May 24th, 2021, the Kozak Company was the first company of the Unified State, and by far it's most powerful in terms of overall stability. Having filled a 50 member roster on its first day and peaking 27 online, the company had a promising future. Kozak is where the majority of mid to high ranking officers began before being transferred to future companies. Initially under the command of Captain Ophion Kyro, the company was usurped by [[JJ Arçanüm]] after Ophion was exposed to be Linus Rhodes, an Arcadian loyalist. The Kozak Company had a complete roster filled with both veterans and rookies alike.

[[File:The_Birth_of_The_Unified_State.png|thumb|<u>'''The Unified State'''</u><p>Pre-Uniform Era: Launch Day]]The Unified State officially launched publicly on May 31st, 2021. There was an astounding amount of members who attended festivities for the day to show their support and pride of the rebirth of the State. General Kusan presented his troops at the base stairs of Onnet Town, after which a speech was given by Kusan which concluded with a unanimous “Hail State!” resonating among members. Following a successful launch day, on June 1st, 2021, Graal servers shut down. Speculation among the ranks suggested that the administration disrupted their efforts to revive the State and prevent it from launching. In the past, admins and the State have had a rough history, but this did not end the patriotism and energy within the guild. Members celebrated through a Discord voice call which built cohesion between older Statesmen and new generation members alike. Even The State´'s founder, Auel Vist, despite having retired, decided to join in on the fun night. <blockquote> “''We may not have been able to play the game, but our spirits thrived through a server-wide Discord call that lasted hours into the night.''” </blockquote>The Unified State returned to Graal on June 2nd after servers were running efficiently again. The State Military would then launch an aggressive front of propaganda in the effort to assert dominance in the Graal Military Community. Every guild was seen as opposition. Sergeant Major Reggius began logistics work and created in-depth activity rosters for each company. War was on the minds of Statesmen that day. A mass assembly of State troops arrived in Destiny, coined as "The Southern Conquest", led by General Kusan. The goal was to conquer Destiny primarily and then transfer back North into Swamp and Deadwood respectively. This would not be an easy task considering Arcadia, who was referenced as “The Sleeping Lion," officially owned the territory of Destiny. They had shown a strong and lengthy presence in the community, but their strength was dwindling as the days went on, opening the possibility to eliminate it.[[File:Photograph2.jpg|thumb|The Unified State in a voice chat after the server unfortunately shut down for a short period of time.|467x467px]]

As they began gathering soldiers to claim Big City Caldera, word is received that Arcadians and its allies were gathering in Battle Arena. Arcadia with their allies, collectively referring to themselves as "The Vehm", sought to respond to the Unified State's ultimatum of surrendering Destiny or a state of war. The Unified State hastily began gathering troops and approached Battle Arena with approximately 22 soldiers. However, to high command's surprise, Arcadia enlisted the help of four different militaries to aid in their battle, topping over sixty troops upon entering the battle. The Vehm was prepared to eliminate the Unified State's dominanceupcoming monopoly once and for all to prevent it from seeing the light of day in the future Bastion system. With odds stacked against them in regard to sheer numbers, battle experience, and organization, the Unified State was looking at a steep uphill battle, under the screenshot system nonetheless. Despite this, with the help of several key tips from [[Donald]], a former Arcadian who played a monumental role in the thriving victory by assisting the Unified State with valuable information.

After hours of battling, Imperio Quin, an Arcadian ally, would collapse towards the end of battle, as their tag was mass kicked by Hizack. The Unified State would eventually come out victorious and the Vehm was humiliated in front of the entire Graal Military Community.

With an eye toward neutralizing the State rebellion, General Kusan assembled an army of soldiers. In due time, the primed Unified State declared war on the 225th Infantry Division. Whistle staring at an offline tag, motivational speeches were given in order to preserve the thrill and air of distaste towards the 225th Infantry Division for a more efficient performance in the battle. However, despite the climax of war, Choco conceded soon after. The State proceeded to the train station and claimeddubbed the 225th Infantry Division as cowards.

[[File:Treor's official declaration of war on The State.png|thumb|<u>'''Treor Serenissima'''</u><p>Official War Declaration|324x324px]]After Arcadia's defeat, State had uncontested control of almost the entire map. It was [[Soft]], a former Arcadian Consul, outraged by the newfound success of his enemy, who launched Treor with the aim of destroying State's military and political dominance within the Graal Military Community. He united two nations under this banner: Jan's Nolvendore and Jason's Forctus - guilds which had been victim to a long string of military defeats at the hands of State. With the launch of Treor, him and [[Ajax]] convened with the leaders of the 225th Infantry Division (who had rebelled from the rule of Logan) and Arnithen to launch the first large-scale invasion under the [[The Bastion|Bastion]]'s ruleset. Anticipated to be a long-term, back and forth war spanning the entirety of July, it was dubbed "The July Campaign".[[File:Iamgay.png|thumb|<u>'''The July Campaign'''</u><p>Army of Ajax & Soft vs. The Unified State|250x250px|left]]The July Campaign was the heaviest military and political defeat that The Unified State and its allies had received. Opposed to the anticipated month of conflict, Treor led an offensive that took the whole map in three days, emerging victorious on all fronts.

With Soft's goal achieved and his troops later falling inactive, he dissolved Treor.

Both iterations of the government unpredictably concluded to a catastrophicpoor end, resultingalbeit inwith massiveinitial failuresuccess. The government was mostlymainly an on and off project, instigated by Joe Kyro, and later Vulnus Regium individually.

The second time a government was implemented resulted in initial success. The elections process was executed smoothly, with slight delay. Subsequent to the completion of the parliament, Chancellor Vulnus, suddenly went inactive without a trace nor a heads-up. He had promised elected representatives a Constitution (which was drafted but incomplete for a while). After lacking mutual effort to withhold it on its feet, the government indefinitely went dormant. However, there were a few parliament members dedicated to their departments, namely Reggius and JJ. Reggius issued modern ID cards to all State officers and NCOs, while JJ released art projects and took record of Unified State citizens' talents. The Parliament would remain in its dormant State until the end of the Unified State era.

Following Auel Kusan's retirement, JJ Vist was appointed General of the Unified State. During his first few weeks as General, JJ reformed the remaining three State companies and got rid of inactive members throughout the guild's core. The reforms met with high success and activity, albeit said activity did come at the cost of the dissolution of CrUeL. With no time to waste, JJ led the Unified State and its allies to battle once more. Statesmen had not seen battle in over a month, sohence this was the perfect opportunity for everyone to get in on some action. With the assistance of Nekron and the Order, The State Military successfully invaded Arnithian and Kronborg territory. The Unified State's allies would follow these victories by declaring battles of their own, starting with the Order stronghold. The Order's initial invasion was unsuccessful, as they tried to attack Nolvendore and their allies alone. However, JJ came up with an entirely different plan and called for a second invasion, which met with great success for his allies. Under JJ's leadership, the Unified State's first few battles were won swiftly. These victories, sadly, did not last very long.
