Scarlet had its roots in the Basilka's Elections of 2721, which Scarlet became president of the republic. The Nationalist Party, led by Scarlet, established the Clockwork Republic, beginning to expand the limits of the country to the east. The Army entered several territories of the former Clockwork Republic. In 2744, the Scarletians Army were victorious, forming the Scarlet Police State with the unification of the Clockwork, Saint Veronika, Rust Bastion, Rust Harbor, Scarlet Tobacco and Scarlet Desert republics.
