Gattamir Empire

The Gattamir Empire, located in the vast deserts of Badongalona, emerged from the vacuum left by the withdrawal of the Gorskalanian Empire in 1600. Its formation on 21/05/1700, marked a significant shift in the region's history.
Foundation and Economic Basis
The empire's inception was driven by a group of royalists who believed that the Kingdom of Oalado, which had ruled Badongalona, was too conciliatory toward foreign powers seeking access to its abundant oil reserves. This group, often comprised of heirs to former kingdoms predating Oalado, orchestrated a coup on 19/05/1700, overthrowing the reigning monarchs. The Kingdom of Oalado was rechristened as the Gattamir Empire, a name derived from the Badongalonan god Gattamir, symbolizing order.
The empire's prosperity hinged on its control of the region's oil resources, which provided immense wealth. This financial advantage enabled rapid modernization, including the development of a technologically advanced military.
Military Advancements and Technological Progress
The Gattamir Empire's military prowess was impressive, allowing it to assert control over its territories and protect its interests. Its modernization efforts extended to other sectors as well, promoting technological advancements and infrastructure development. This ambitious agenda was, however, fundamentally tied to oil revenue, making the empire vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil markets.
The Oil Wars and Decline
The Gattamir Empire's ascendancy was challenged by the Oil Wars, a protracted 25-year conflict. The Quantonian Empire, grappling with an oil shortage, sought to secure access to Badongalona's resources. The ensuing war resulted in immense destruction, loss of life, and economic turmoil. The Gattamir Empire's military, while formidable, ultimately succumbed to the sustained pressure exerted by the Quantonian Empire.
Collapse and Aftermath
On 01/01/2020, the Gattamir Empire fell, marked by the collapse of its government and financial ruin. The empire's ambitions and aspirations crumbled, leaving Badongalona in a state of upheaval. The region fractured into independent city-states, each grappling for control and stability.
The United Council of Nations of Gleron (UCNG) intervened to help maintain order and oversee the transition, as Badongalona faced numerous challenges in rebuilding and establishing a new trajectory. The empire's legacy remains complex, characterized by progress and conflict. It serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of overreliance on finite resources and the toll of prolonged conflicts on a nation's stability and prosperity.
The Gattamir Empire races mainly consisted of Trotons and Wolven.
