Kingdom of Darnussia was the first united nation established in the area of modern Darnussia. The King Darntus I was crowned after the bloody War of Narikatonite Succession in 775 and was the only one of the Three Darnussian Nations throughout the history that was under the rule of the Narikatonites.

Birth of the Kingdom
The Kingdom was centered around the Island of Narikaton and Merenbürg was named as it's capital as the first act of King Darntus I. Island of Shirmania was also part of the young Kingdom named after it's great leader. At this time the Semitic Narikatonites living at the Islands and Mainland Darnussians were considered different people and uniting the mainland to the Narikatonite-led Kingdom was the first priority of King Darntus I. This egnited the Unification War of Darnussia that was fought between 777-780, ending in a triumphant victory for the new king, Darntus I. The mainland was joined to the Kingdom of Darnussia and the blending of the two people began.

Darntus split the country into 4 Grand Duchies, with one Duke in command of a certain area. These new provinces were Duchy of Narikaton, Duchy of Shirmania, Duchy of Alkavon and Duchy of Doressa. He himself was the ruler of the entire Kingdom, but the Dukes had significant power among themselves also.

After the tragic death of Darntus I, his son, King Darntus II was crowned as King of Darnussia. Unlike his beloved father, Darntus II was a brutal leader and he was not too fond of Jewish population at the islands. He tried to enslave the Jewish population, which eventually led to his murder. Both sons of Darntus II had their spot on the throne, but they died before reaching maturity. After 11 years of rule under the Noble Council Darntus II's cousin, Simon Raux, Hereditary Count of Clenon was crowned King Simon III of Darnussia. He had found christianity during his time studying abroad and brought it with him to Darnussia. He converted the pagan Darnussians into Catholic Christianity during his reign as the King of Darnussia.

Brief Revolution
During the 18th century there was a large uprising that took place all over Darnussia. Darnussia was in a massive famine and the workers were getting angry at the King and the Nobles. This lead to what is now known in Darnussian History as the Brief Revolution. The reason it is called the Brief Revolution is because the workers and the peasants for a brief period time overthrew the monarchy of Darnussia. The revolution was lead by three men who formed a Triumvirate. The three men were Carlo Abruzzi, Aurelio Sasperi, and Moshes Federer. The men declared Darnussia a Republic and declared that every men had individual rights. The Triumvirate passed popular legislation to eliminate burdensome taxes and to give work to the unemployed. The revolution only lasted 345 days because the King with assistance from different countries and mercenaries led an army against the Darnussian Republic and successfully restored order to the Monarchy. After the Brief Revolution the men who formed the Triumvirate were arrested but later released for unknown reasons.

End of the Kingdom
Even though the Brief Revolution failed, it introduced Republic to the majority of Darnussians and the opposing of the monarchy grew larger in the next century. Kings and Nobles had to make admissions and a Parliament was created in 1815. The King still held the power in the nation, but the Dukes lost most of their power and influence at the Duchies of Darnussia to the new parliament. The Final king of Darnussia, Cecil I, well known homosexual, finally abolished the Monarchy which was the end of Kingdom of Darnussia in 1966. Parliament became the ruling body of the nation and Most Serene Republic of Darnussia replaced the Kingdom.
