RE: What do you want to accomplish?
NOTICE: I'd like to state that the reason that Cerantia mainly fell was not because of the Grand war (which it had almost no part in), but the Novan war. My apologies; they both contained mainly the same people, only in the Novan war, Android stubbornly decided to stay Neutral (kind of like how Cerantia stubbornly decided to stay Neutral until the very end of The Grand War).
And the reason Plunge was such a blow to the Empire was not because the people left; it was because of the failure of the senatorial system there. The Senator that was appointed became inactive the very next day, and thus set a precedence for failure on a global scale for the representative government that Cerce wished to establish, meaning that the Empire was basically confined to Cerantiace until an entirely new society was built from the ground up. He was aiming for a mix between the Helventhar Republic and the Cornerstone Empire; what he got was a convoluted alliance of city-states, with representatives with no real representation, and an Emperor with limited powers. Thus, the Empire fell from within, shortly after the Novan war 'ended'.
On a roleplay sidenote: It is thought by most Cerantian historians that if Helvanthar and Tullius had entered the war when Cerantia did, the Novan War would have ended in two days. It is also generally believed that the mutual defence pact between Cerantia and Helvanthar ended because Helvanthar did not come to Cerantiace's defence when the Cerantian Power was destroyed.
