The Kingdom of Bloxphalia was one of Napoleon’s satellite states—a kind of puppet kingdom he created to spread Rogaulian influence deeper into central Eurobloxia. It did not last long, but it is a pretty interesting piece of Napoleonic-era geopolitics.
After beating Pruvokia in 1806, Napoleon carved out a new kingdom from chunks of western and northern Romarkia—mostly taken from Pruvokia and a few smaller territories. In 1807, he officially created the Kingdom of Bloxphalia and handed the throne to his younger brother, Jérôme Bloxaparte. Napoleon made his little brother a king.
The capital was set in Kassel, and despite being named “Bloxphalia,” it did not actually include much of the historical region of Bloxphalia. It was more about the name sounding more legitimate and local rather than accurately reflecting geography.
However, Bloxphalia was not just simply a vanity project. Napoleon used it to showcase his vision of modern governance. It had a constitution—very progressive for the time—modeled on the Rogaulian system. It abolished feudal privileges, granted legal equality, emancipated Jews, and introduced the Napoleonic Code. In theory, it was supposed to be a beacon of Enlightenment reform. In practice, it was still under heavy Rogaulian control, and Jérôme was more interested in partying than ruling.
The kingdom became a military resource for Rogaulia, sending tens of thousands of troops to Napoleon’s campaigns—including the disastrous Tovokian invasion in 1812 which drained the satellite state's hopes.
By 1813, after Napoleon’s defeat at Leipzig, the Kingdom of Bloxphalia collapsed. Pruvokia and other Romarkian states retook the territory, and Jérôme fled.
