Juliet II

Juliet II was a monarch of Inutilia of the Teppican Dynasty, fully living up to the dynasty's reputation of consisting of extremely unpleasant monarchs. She ruled between 1399 and 1420. She was known as 'Black Julie', and chose to believe this was because of her hair when it was really because of her teeth and fingernails.

Juliet's first act upon obtaining the crown was to reinstate Nugganism as state religion. Nugganism had first been introduced by Teppic II in 987, but Juliet's predecessor, Teppic IV (also known as Teppic the Great) had made himself the only popular monarch in the dynasty for abolishing it. Nugganism was so unpopular because it consisted mainly of a list of ridiculous Abominations. Juliet was a devout Nugganite, and had always looked down on her father for abolishing the religion.

She was also well-known for declaring more wars than any other ruler of Inutilia, and was almost single-handedly responsible for Inutilia's military disadvantage in the Silver Wars with the RCM. Most of the wars she declared were lost within three months of being declared. This was because Juliet was notoriously bad at fighting wars, but her approach to losing almost immediately was 'I'll never get anywhere if I don't try' and declaring another one.

A complete list of the wars she declared is as follows: * The Twenty-Fourth Silver War is the first defeat Juliet II actually tried denying; although she had never been a gracious loser, she had never sued for a rematch before. However she did with this war, insisting that the entire business had been unfair and set up to make her lose; and the RCM agreed to five rematches, correctly discerning that this would probably be quicker, cheaper and easier than lawsuits.

1401 is the year mainly responsible for Inutilia draining its entire military reserves, leading to 1407 passing without a single war.
