Alcris-Laraniem merger

In September 2022, Laraniem merged with the region of Alcris, with which it had had close ties for many months. This involved a full move of all of Laraniem's inhabitants to Alcris, and the shutdown of Laraniem as it was turned into a museum of its history.

Background
By mid-2022, Laraniem had become almost stagnant. The region had a population of around 20, but this was falling rapidly, and only consisted of around 5 active members (Koxor, Hagston, Hetland, Edropia and Down Unian). In June, after having had close relations and cooperation for many months, Alcris announced it was seeking closer ties with Laraniem than before. This led to the beginning of the Clarity Summit on 16 June, which aimed to strengthen ties and possibly form an alliance between the two regions. An alliance, a joint newspaper and roleplay system, and a system of dual citizenship were proposed. While it was meant to take a 1-2 days to consider this agenda, it ended up lasting nearly three months, with both sides contributing various ideas for cooperation. Alcrisians took part in LaraLeague in June and July 2022, with Alcris's Mistletoe Coast winning the competition. From mid-August, with Laraniem's activity falling and relations with Alcris rising, negotiations began for a full merger between the two regions.
