The Palermonian 1st Empire was a Kingdom styled group that existed in ROBLOX around 2009 - 2012, traces may go back even further but have not been researched.

History
Palermo dates back to 2009 under the name Sunset, before creating a Colony named Palermo around September, 2012.

Palermo was an attempt to get Sunset to be bigger (Originally having around 12 - 20 members since 2009), although upon a war with Blocks, The Palermo Colony broke away from Sunset with 50 Colonists, later annexing Sunset as a State of Palermo. Sunsshines around this time OFFICIALLY gained leadership in Palermo.

Palermo eventually ridded the old Colonial Government and created the 1st Palermo Empire.

Palermo's Government at this time was an elected Prime Minister, the King, and Council for watching elections and making rules, then finally the members.

Palermo's Community was filled with there own Culture, Palermonians. This was at the time one of ROBLOX's Various Cultures that used to exist, only Palermo managed to get the 2nd Largest (1st being the 2012 ROBLOXians).

They were known for Lake Palermo, and allied all kinds of groups. Many groups that hate modern Palermo would love the 1st Empire.

Lake Palermo goes back to a long period on ROBLOX, having an ancient Community. The group itself was made in 2009 but it may go back further. Palermo was a good place to be around this time.

Palermo was also known for its technological advancement. Palermo developed the first Bullet Proof Coat of Arms Shield, and later were to develop planes all on there own.

November
The 1st Empire was converted into a Communist Government in November, 2012, by Jack0414. It featured 3 Branches of the US Government and the Dictator. This caused protest on the walls and a decline in the good feeling of Palermo.

GenCaik, a former Canidate for the Last Prime Minister Election, stated during this; This is not fair. People shouldnt have to work 24/7 on an online game

It remained with protest and worry but still decent to be around compared to most other ROBLOX Groups until 11/19/12, when The Palermo Army opened fire at a bunch of Citizens at Castle Palermo during a peaceful protest.



The first bullets launched the Palermonian Civil War, which left the Empire in ruins. Over 60+ people were forced to quit ROBLOX.

December
Palermo was destroyed, Lake Palermo was non existant, TPA was gone, the Government was destroyed, and it was over all ruins. The Republic of Sunset annexed Palermo within this time, re-recognizing itself as the 2nd Palermo Empire. The divided 1st Empire rejoined quickly.

Last Successor States
The Communist First Empire remained existant in various groups, including Griffin Squad and the Republic of Versovia until just before Summer. At the dawn of Summer South ROBLOXia invaded Blocks then Palermo. Within this time they also claimed ownership over Versovia and won against Griffin Squad. By this time the 1st Empire's last successor states were gone.

Eventually Palermo would rebel and win liberation from South ROBLOXia, but the 1st Empire remained just a memory, and a goal to work towards getting back. To this day Palermo works hard trying to rebuild the 1st Empire, but cannot quite get there.
