The Miku Monarchy is a faction that was started as a one-person faction by TheBestYouHaveEverSeen at the during of Canvas 55, and became a full faction the following canvas with the help of LenEnjoyer as the co-founder. It is also known as Miku and More, though its Chromatic Empire-based name has slowly taken over. The faction focuses on making art for Hatsune Miku and related characters such as other "Virtual Singers" or Project Sekai characters.
While the faction started out not-so involved in the pxls community, it has became very relevant in later canvases, involving itself in conflicts, faction groups, etc.
Despite being referred to as a monarchy, The Miku Monarchy has no monarch other than the kings and queens that place for it.
It is on a goal to collab with every Chromatic Empire principality, currently having the following:
- Metallic Monarchy - Canvas 62
- Watermelon Syndicate - Canvas 64 & 65

Now you've read the basics, there is a video demonstrating this faction's history from Canvas 55 - Canvas 64 that shows most of the information here in a much more entertaining way. You may watch it here.

Direct Allies
- Miku and More was a very active member of the Super Serious Pixel Group, but it left shortly before it died, in favor of the Chromatic Empire
- Due to the Chromatic Empire's second Imperial Reform, All Miku and More vassals and allies are also vassals / allies of ChE.
- These allies are exempt to the previous point as they have vassalship of ChE through other means, meaning they can't be allies because vassals are above allies in ChE's hierarchy

Mascots
- Miku (obviously) - The Miku built on Canvas 55 can be considered a mascot
- Bobby - The user Fluffacorn helped Miku and More significantly in it's early days, and always insisted on making a "Bobby" on top of the art. Unfortunately he lost access to pxls due to a glitch in his computer, and Bobby has been made in every canvas since to show respect
- The Face - A face made during the IWBTG Pxls collab, especially relevant due to the GSm war.
- Mikuddy - A Miku version of the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy's "buddy", it's common for Chromatic Empire affiliated factions to have their own buddys.
History
Canvas 55
This solo art from TheBestYouHaveEverSeen is the first Miku and More art, and was used for the Discord server icon until Canvas 61, when it was replaced with Mikuddy.
See this art on the interactive map for Canvas 55
Canvas 56
This is Miku and More's first full faction art and it's a simple pixel art of Hatsune Miku. This art set the foundation for all of MikuAM's future art with the "Bobby" on top of Miku, and the discord.io link becoming part of most future art too.

Canvas 56a
The art for this canvas was made by LenEnjoyer, with a largely improved version being made by tasakurain. This was the first time Miku and More made art based on a song, which is now pretty common. The art for this canvas was based on the song Lagtrain by inabakumori.

Canvas 57
The art for this canvas was made by LenEnjoyer, and is probably one of the worst arts used for Miku and More (sorry!). During this canvas, MikuAM had to move several times and was struggling in terms of space. In the end, they found space thanks to Trollge Confederacy moving their discord invite to make space. This art was based on the song Tõryansé by tsukiusa.

Canvas 58
The art for this canvas was found and defiddled by TheBestYouHaveEverSeen, and was not based on any song, and instead focused towards having a lattice. Pride flags were later added to the art by LenEnjoyer. In this canvas Miku and More was next to IWBTG Pxls, Zim Art, and Genshin Impact Chibi Clan, these arts being next to eachother is what caused the IWBTG Pxls collab on next canvas and even the Space Collab the canvas after.

Canvas 59
The art for this canvas was made by aliceNobodi and was a collaboration between MikuAM and IWBTG Pxls. The art is based of the I wanna be the guy (IWBTG) fangame, I wanna be the Lovetrap, which features Hatsune Miku, and the song The End of Hatsune Miku by cosMo@bousouP. During this canvas, a face was built onto the stickman while the art was still in progress, it was later dubbed "the face" and was often said with itallics.
GSm "sunray trolling"
This was Miku and More's first conflict, and was handled terribly. During this canvas, Gura's Supermarket was going around the various sunrays, and pasting Gura's Supermarket art ontop of people's art. After attacking IWBTG pxls and MikuAM, a mini-conflict started (see: GSm "sunray trolling").

Canvas 60
In this canvas, MikuAM was part of the Space Collab organized by aliceNobodi and ceadog. The MikuAM portion of the collab was made by LenEnjoyer and was themed around the song 1year by PinocchioP, as suggested by aliceNobodi. MikuAM was involved in the Space Collab Incident this canvas.
Involvement in Super Serious Pixel Group
After Canvas 60, aliceNobodi started a group similar to League of Factions for Space Collab factions called Super Serious Pixel Group. MikuAM was one of the first factions to join, though they did not stay there for that long.

Canvas 60a
In this canvas, MikuAM held a vote for which art to make. The winning art 'Empty' Miku from the popular mobile game Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage and was defiddled by LenEnjoyer. At first MikuAM struggled heavily with this canvas due to the Crucible War taking spotlight over everything else, lack of organization, and a template being put in a rushed location. Though after LenEnjoyer made an improved template and called for help basically everywhere in and outside of pxls, MikuAM finished in record time and was able to make a lattice. The design was heavily inspired by Canvas 56a's art.
x190-SSPG conflict
There was a X190–SSPG conflict, in which MikuAM placers got pinged to help Super Serious Pixel Group. After diplomatic efforts from the Chromatic Empire, TBYHES required future MikuAM members to confirm their pxls username before being verified to ensure they were not griefing x190, this relaxed later on.

Canvas 61
This canvas's art was suggested by mozzapple and defiddled by TheBestYouHaveEverSeen and it is of the song KOISURU☆BEAM by cillia. Next to the art is LenEnjoyer's 50k ego and TheBestYouHaveEverSeen's 25k ego is below.
The Chicanery
Miku and More was a leading figure in Super Serious Pixel Group's struggle to protect IWBTG pxls. (See: The Chicanery)
Becoming a vassal of the Chromatic Empire
Though, at the end of the canvas MikuAM was offered to become a vassal of the Chromatic Empire which offered much better protection and less arguing compared to the SSPG. MikuAM is now distancing itself from SSPG while still offering help when needed, and will, from now on, be part of the Chromatic Empire instead. This means MikuAM needed a "larp name" to be considered a unique vassal. So the name stayed MikuAM regardless, the "larp name" was chosen to be "Miku - A Monarchy".

Canvas 62
This canvas's art was made (part-traced, part-selfmade) by LenEnjoyer and it is of the song Sinktank by inabakumori. Since they were surrounded by Idle Slayers, Metallic Monarchy (MM) built a lattice behind the art. After helping MM, MikuAM focused on helping the Chromatic Empire.
See this art on the interactive map for Canvas 62
Canvas 63
Due to LenEnjoyer Pixel Request, MikuAM's co-owner and #1 placer, LenEnjoyer is not going to be placing for MikuAM this canvas, this led them to make a very small template near the Chromatic Empire, of the "Mikuddy". Placers could make this in their own time as the art piece was less than 1000 pixels in total. Following the "Free buddy movement" from left, Mikuddy was often given a unibrow, resulting in the ever changing text at the bottom.
This timelapse is a little incorrect due to problems with Clueless at the time.

Canvas 64
This canvas was controversially based on the song Plus boy by Reol and is a collab with Watermelon Syndicate. This was the first full art to be built without a discord invite, since most people who were going to join had already done so. This canvas was also a collaboration with Dhilly Propaganda Pxls, which is a mini-faction & Miku and More vassal led by LenEnjoyer. ChE played a huge part in this canvas, with ChAP helping the art progress, and the "Network system for allies" being introduced (read: Second Imperial Reform v1a].
Multiple people can be credited for the art:
- LenEnjoyer - main art
- Pebble_ - hands fix
- Woahdang_Jr - lattice design

Canvas 64a
Bobby, only bobby.

Canvas 65
Another collab with Watermelon Syndicate which was now owned by LenEnjoyer. Art was mainly reused:
- Watermelon Lattice from Canvas 61 (By Woahdang_Jr)
- MikuAM's mascots: Bobby, Mikuddy, The Face, Canvas 55 Miku (By Fluffacorn, LenEnjoyer, grav, TBYHES respectively)
- A scrapped Kaito art from Canvas 64a (By LenEnjoyer)
This was part of ChE's large scale collab, and also marked 10 canvases since MikuAM's beginning, Canvas 55. So it made sense to make various mascots to represent the faction's history.
Canvas 65a
A small theface was made next to High Church of Can, which is a Miku Monarchy vassal that was strongly protected.
