900 AD. After a very controversial election KJ3, distant son of KJ2 was elected to the throne. The whole nation had to wait for the results of the far away town of Lone Oak, before the results were complete. A few juridic battles were also fought which are of no interest for any serious historian of today.
What matters is that KJ3, was not, to put it mildly, very clever. His nickname was indeed the Stupid One. He didn’t understand much about ICS, size 5 strategy and any diplomatic subtilities. He just pretended he did, and went on with his business as best as he could, not much that is.
For only the most fanatics students of the history of our beloved nation, we give, despite the lack of interest a few informations about this blurred period : neither dark, nor bright, just plain stupid. And at last, we cannot help but smile at the “stupid pun” of those ancient times : KJ3 the SO(B).
940 AD, Barbarians unrest near SG 1. KJ3 pretends that everything is fine and refuses to allocate new forces to the region. 2 horsemen and a diplo shall be enough against elephants. Remember Pyrrhus, he added in a mixed up memory of the Roman history. The same year a hut yields 8 ferocious red horsemen. One of true brave horsemen meets his fate.
980 AD, Democracy is discovered. Next one will be chivalry. Caravans gather in Zamorna to Build the statue of Liberty. Not an easy task with a government who refuses to give subsides to anybody.
Barbarians again, from a hut again. This time the victims are settlers. Will KJ3 ever stop putting innocent to such a useless death. (as if death was ever useful, note of the historian of today).
1000 AD, a few military journalists report some troop movement near the Persian border. Octavius, Military spokeman of the KJ3 government explains that the soldiers like the sun and the beaches in this area.
1020 AD, Barbarians once more, from a hut once more. Diplomats left alone to an horrible death.
1060 AD, Tragedy strucks. The city of Naples is destroyed by barbarians. Government forces were unable to answer the barbarian threat, despite many warnings. A motion of destitution (impeachment for the modern reader) is discussed in the congress. KJ3 remains confident (or doesn’t understand the situation). He founds KJ3 City, it’s better than Naples he explains with his finest sense of psychology and then goes to Zamorna to supervise the building of the SoL.
1080 AD, The Statue of Liberty is build and in what many see as a fitting conjunction of events, KJ3 is impeached right thereafter, two turns before the next elections he was of course dreaming of winning. And so ended the reign of the Stupid One.
