It's current capital is unknown including their passports, and during the events of New Shingleton, the policies within the Union of Ruralia contributed to the Union of Ruralia on the verge of collapse and the further weakening of the communist bloc in Eastern Mesothemia.

History
The history of the Ruralians began during the height of the Mesothemian Empire, once a glorious empire feared by many, turned into chaos as the Ruralians began arriving in Central Mesothemia, causing havoc across the borders of the Mesothemian Empire,

Eventually, the Mesothemian Empire took control of Central Mesothemia, brutally oppressing rebellions by the Ruralians, eventually over time the Ruralians swore loyalty to the Mesothemian Empire, but the spread of Christianity contributed to the divide and collapse of the Mesothemian Empire, during the collapse, the Ruralians massacred barbarians migrating into Central Mesothemia, in which this action feared many barbarians and avoided migrating through the lands.

After the collapse of the Mesothemian Empire, the era of Ruralian kingdoms began, migrating, during this era the Ruralians began migrating into Southern Sidan for livestock and land, and were opposed by the Amphicians.

Southern Sidan
Ruralians began its seperation from their beliefs and their cultures, one of these Ruralian groups began migrating to Southern Sidan for more livestock and better opportunities, however these Ruralian groups in Southern Sidan were seen as eyesores by the Amphician Christians in Northern Sidan, however Ruralian villages managed to avoid devastation due to a mountain.

During the arrival of powerful empires conquering the region, both the Amphicians and Ruralians residing in Sidan fused their cultures, however the bitter rivalry did not erase the violent clashes and tensions between the two groups.

The violent clashes and tensions between the two sides escalated when the Acharenossa Empire began gathering slaves to build a massive wall on the mountains dividing Southern Sidan between its northern counterpart, the purpose of these walls were for Amphician and Ruralian communities in order to stop Amphician clans from attempting violence against Ruralians.

Because of the devastating defeat of the Acharenossa Empire and the spread of Islam within Sidan, the Amphicians resorted to migrating to Ruralian villages to the south, but due to the history of violent tensions between the two groups, a heavy war was fought between the two sides, the Amphicians won, which gave the opportunity to settle within Southern Sidan, the Ruralians however managed to flee completely out of mainland Sidan, ending thousands of Ruralian history within the region.

Duchy of Ruralia
During the seperation of Ruralian groups after the collapse of the Mesothemian Empire and the spread of Christianity, the Duchy of Ruralia was formed along the Oder River, over time the small kingdom conquered land and turned into a massive kingdom, carving the legacy within Central Mesothemia and contributing to the creation of other Ruralian states and kingdoms throughout Central Mesothemia, and eventually most of Western Mesothemia.

The Duchy of Ruralia was conquered by nomads who formed a empire that claimed to be the successor of the Mesothemian Empire, and conquered the mainlands and the former capital of the Mesothemian Empire, and proclaiming themselves as the emperor of the entire Mesothemia, however due to the lack of money to maintain provinces within the new Mesothemian Empire, and the kings princes were tasked to divide the provinces, the princes were also having a lack of money to maintain the provinces and allowed farmers, the population and the armies to carve land for themselves, contributing to a complete mess of the new and proclaimed Holy Mesothemian Empire.

Ruralia remained as a duchy, but due to feudalism and the population, the Duchy of Ruralia was reduced to no more than a small territory, the Ruralians also faced scrutiny and discrimination by the Central Mesothemian population, however not much of the Duchy of Ruralia had major events occuring, but it became the victim of a massive plague which decimated the Ruralian population.

The Duchy of Ruralia lasted a thousand years into Central Mesothemia and ended in the Napoleonic Wars, as the king of the Holy Mesothemian Empire was devastated by Napoleon's army, and during his evasion from French capture, dissolved the Holy Mesothemian Empire to avoid Napoleon from achieving the crown and taking over the empire.

Napoleonic Wars
The Napoleonic Wars completely destroyed Central Mesothemian kingdoms and the complete destruction of the Holy Mesothemian Empire led to the borders to change, to the Ruralians, they saw the Napoleonic Wars in a completely different image, as they saw the collapse of the Holy Mesothemian Empire, the Napoleonic Wars also contributed to the beginning of Ruralian Reunification and further distancing from the kingdoms and alliances of Central Mesothemia, further angering them.

Napoleon began invading the Holy Mesothemian Empire and in a few months half of their kingdoms fell under French Rule, most of these kingdoms were occupied and turned into several puppet states, the Ruralians heard of the devastation of the Holy Mesothemian Army and also began rebelling, this was however crushed, and by the time of the crushing of the rebellion, the Holy Mesothemian Empire had been dissolved, ending thousands of years of total feudal rule over Ruralia and beginning a new era for the Ruralian states and the people.

The Napoleonic Wars eventually ended after the French lost in the war in 1815, however by this time the damage had been already done in Europe, and waves of nationalism had completely spread across Mesothemia and began the era of empires collapsing from unrest by several minorities within their countries.

Ruralian Reunification
The ideals of a united Ruralian state began in 1825, 10 years after Napoleon had dismantled the Holy Mesothemian Empire, despite the legal, administrative and political disruptions caused by the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, the German-speaking Ruralians of the old Holy Mesothemian Empire and a common linguistic, cultural and legal tradition. Mesothemian liberalism offered an intellectual basis for unification by challenging dynastic and absolutist models of social and political organization, its German manifestation emphasized the importance of tradition, education, and linguistic unity.

The remaining Ruralian kingdoms were incorporated into the New Confederation, however many Ruralian kingdoms opposed the incorporation of Ruralians within the New Confederation, stating it as an attempt to eradicate Ruralian culture, as a result of the conspiracy, many Ruralians raged rebellions throughout the New Confederation, opposing against it and further spreading Ruralian nationalism and the creation of a Ruralian state.

Eventually, in 1845, the ideals of a united Ruralian state became possible as the leader of the Ruralian Kingdom of Wehrgoch, William Schmidt, began a policy militarizing the kingdom, conquering and incorporating many small Ruralian kingdoms throughout the cities, many Ruralians saw the Kingdom of Wehrgoch as the legitimate successor of the new and united Ruralian state, and many Ruralians joined William Schmidt in an attempt to reunite the Ruralians, however there were many setbacks, as the New Confederation had prohibited many minorities within the confederation from leaving, as a result a massive rebellion occured with William Schmidt as the leader, with the Ruralian Kingdom of Wehrgoch joining with him.

After a 5 year civil war, William Schmidt emerged victorious in the Ruralian Civil War, establishing the Kingdom of Ruralia in the aftermath of the civil war as a union of several states with the Ruralian Kingdom of Wehrgoch acting as the main leader of the new Kingdom of Ruralia in 1850 with William Schmidt announcing that the Kingdom of Ruralia will last centuries and will become a successful empire. The formation of the Kingdom of Ruralia dramatically altered the balance of Mesothemia.

Colonization (1870 - 1918)
In mid 1870, the scramble for undiscovered lands began in Mesothemia as a result of the formation of many imperial superpowers within the region, with many imperial powers all of them wished to strengthen their presence, military, population and army by colonizing many undiscovered lands and settle outlaws and many other people alike within their colonies, the Kingdom of Ruralia was one of those imperial superpowers who also joined in along with the colonization.

In 1871, Ruralia had set up 5 settlements across the world, although their locations are unknown they have prospered into major port cities and the Kingdom of Ruralia had sent settlers to populate the land and send many tribals in these undiscovered lands to the United States of Megaton and Columbia for slavery and as a result the United States of Megaton and Columbia declined due to slavery being outlawed 6 years earlier as a result of the Columbian Civil War and in 1873 resources beneficial to Ruralia were discovered and many mining towns were set up in these settlements.

Plantations were also constructed in these Ruralian colonies including a seperate administration and army division specially trained and equipped to deal with the weathers and many wealthy people were invited to settle in the colonies. Over time the Ruralian colonies would expand and had reached their full limit in the year 1893. Slavery was also allowed in the settlements.

However, there were many negative effects on the colonies created by the Kingdom of Ruralia, with the slavery issue being intense, many of these slaves would discover a jar and in 1902 the slaves would rebel against the Kingdom of Ruralia and its colonies overseas, eventually by the extent of the rebellion half of the country would fall under the slavery rebellion but the Ruralians retaliated by sending more forces to quell the rebellion and in 1905 the rebellion was put down. This would eventually leave a legacy for nationalism across the continent.

However, the Ruralian colonies would abruptly end by the outbreak of the First Great War, in 1915 most of their colonies had fell under the allied powers of Mesothemia and in 1916 their last stronghold fell to the allies, eventually 2 years later Ruralia would surrender after the loss of their allies in the First Great War and after the signing of the treaty Ruralia would lose all of its colonies.

First Great War (1914 - 1918)
The First Great War began as a result of disputes and competition between the imperial powers in Western Mesothemia and Central Mesothemia, the Kingdom of Ruralia was one of the main countries in an alliance which was formed weeks prior to the First Great War, during the First Great War, the Kingdom of Ruralia lost many of its colonies and invaded the Sultanate of Sidan and nearly won the war, however due to the intense exhaustion of troops fighting in the frontlines a democratic revolution ensued within Ruralia and the kingdom was forced to sign an armistice marking the end of the First Great War in 1918.

During the beginning, the Kingdom of Ruralia began aiding its allies in a war against a certain country and many countries followed suit declaring war on the Kingdom of Ruralia as a result of the aid forming the Western Coalition, the following year the Kingdom of Ruralia and its allies formed the Central Powers in an attempt to destroy the Western Coalition, the Kingdom of Ruralia began invading Western Mesothemia the following day after forming the Central Powers and the Western Coalition attempt to hold their advancements.

As a result of the Western Coalitions efforts, Ruralian troops were stopped from entering the capital of France in 1915 and were pushed back in the process, contributing to a year long stalemate which involved the usage of chemical warfare and the mass genocide that ensued by Ruralian troops in occupied territories.

In the overseas frontlines, Ruralia had lost
