Coat of Arms of Zarexium

The Coat of arms of Zarexium is one of the most important coat of arms on Nimetis.

Design
The Zarexian coat of arms is a cross with 2 circles. The cross shows the enemy the strength that protects the two circles. One circle is the courage and diligence of the country; the other is the fortune which Zarexium should protect. This coat of arms was introduced in the end of the 17th century in 1696.

History
In the times of the Zarexian Empire was the Zarexian coat of arms located in the center of the Zarexian flag. The Zarexians have always referred to it as a fortune-teller, which should assist them in times of war. The Zarexian Imperators have used it to strengthen the self-confidence of the army. So they have believed that the Zarexian Empire can not fall. This, however, was an error. In the Nimetis War 1 in 1784, five years before the Zarexian Empire decayed, the Zarexian Empire had its greatest extension. 60% of all Nimetis was influenced by Zarexians. In Zarexium, however, there was a great famine, which gave rise to a civil war. The opponents of the Zarexian Empire used it to back Zarexium and defeat the Zarexian Empire. After the fall of the unique Zarexian Empire, the Zarexians accused their coat of arms had brought misfortune.

From the year 1789, Zarexium was occupied for 10 years. Only 3 years after the occupied time, the current coat of arms of Zarexium has been removed from the flag. After the revolution in 1856-1858, the coat of arms was again recognized as the coat of arms of Zarexium.
