Novayan East Indies (Armanya)

The Novayan East Indies (Spanish: Indias orientales novayanolas; German: Novayanisches Ostlinden; Filipino: Silangang Indiyas ng Novaya) were the overseas territories of the Novayan Confederation in the continental world of Celina (otherwise known as Helliene) starting from 1768 and later on 2035, governed for the Novayan state from Morales through the military governorate which ruled the continents of Aegialeus and Falmart.
These territories were ruled through a military occupational authority initially, before it was later transformed into a military governorate after colonization efforts and governmental reorganization. After the fall and later dismemberment of the Aegialean Empire, the Novayan East Indies would be ruled from Novaya both directly and indirectly. Its territories included the Aegialean continent (where the capital of Anemore is located at), Valzardes quadrant, Malkriv region, Zelgari region, Quelriones region, Falmartian continent, and Lronmakis quadrant. Platfast was the first seat of government, which then moved to Anemore (recently a heavily-militarized and fortified urban city) at the behest of Konstantin von Aegialeus' Novayan colleagues.
==History==
The Novayan East Indies was formed in 1545, when an expeditionary force under Admiral Konstantin von Aegialeus landed on the shores of western Aegialeus and launched an invasion which decimated many Aegialean armies sent to crush them. Rallying those disgruntled and disillusioned with the Aegialean Empire under his leadership, he took over many population centers before marching upon Platfast, capital of the wretched empire, which was subject to a devastating siege that shattered the imperial defenders there.It was also there that the imperial nobles, clergy, aristocrats, commanders and magicians, especially those who gladly enslaved or even exterminated those they consider subhuman, were brutally and horrifically tortured before they were executed.
With the sacking and occupation of Platfast complete, the expeditionary armies rallied forth to conquer the rest of the empire, acquiring more forces and factions who sought vengeance against their hated enemies.The more militant and vengeful of these groups were deprived of killing civilians when Admiral Konstantin disavowed any notions of any outright genocide on the part of those who sided with him, but were allowed to slaughter any imperial armies involved in the "dilution" of local cultures and religions. Said groups were also allowed to butcher cities or towns which arrogantly supported the Aegialean military, racial, political and religious supremacy and take the remaining peoples of such places as slaves, with young and middle-aged women being served as war prizes. The rest of the Aegialean Empire was conquered in a few more months, dooming it. From its remains, a series of military colonies were established to create a minority that would become the dominant minority.The colonists who settled initially consisted of English, Hispanic, Atlantic, East Europan, German, Darcsen, Fusonese, Aztecs, and Zeromench persons who were in the poverty line or in the middle class, before recruiting Russians, Germans, French, Japanese, Prussians and later Americans and Filipinos; after declaring its loyalty to the Sovereignese State, the colonies would include black slaves and natives from the Amerigos, the former being purchased just so they could become free in the East Indies and the latter so they don't have to deal with the Americans. In 1935, 115,000 Novayans moved to the East Indies. After the Novayan-Valkyrur War and subsequent divine military intervention in 2015, the Novayan Confederation saw at least 57,000 people move to the East Indies. As a result, Admiral Konstantin became the first autocratic military governor of what would become the Novayan East Indies.
The dismembered empire was then transformed into a series of colonies, later becoming governorates and captaincies by the 1700s. Platfast was home to the Governor-Militant and his government, before in 1812 moving to Anemore.Anemore was a heavily-militarized and fortified city, once a town left ignored by the Aegialean Empire, which sees it only as a minor trade hub and not anything else; because of this, Anemore became home to the largest center of crime brought upon by lack of imperial development there. It was only after the devastation of Platfast that the Anemoreans contacted Admiral Konstantin, asking him if they could properly develop their town. The result was the three centuries-long Anemore Development Project, which sees its transformation from a town to a city, then to a metropolis; by 2042 in the Armanyan calendar, it has already became a megalopolis. In 1897, East Indian forces invaded Falmart to put down the Saderan Empire; with the backing of the gods of Aegialeus, the gods of Falmart were forced to yield.
The so-called Sovereignese East Indies would later become the Novayan East Indies in 1939 after the nations of Greater Novaya was united into a federal state. It aided the Novayan Confederation in the Second Great World War, though only as part of the Novayan Armed Forces. It was also responsible for causing the German Civil War between an alliance of democratic and monarchist forces and the Nazi Party, culminating in victory for the former.Though Germany was indeed occupied, the Flensburg Government was retained after the civil war, serving as the government of the Kaiserreich until 1991, when Germany was reunified. It was only in 2012 the Novayan East Indies would play its most significant role in the Novayan-Valkyrur War of 2015, a war which almost shattered reality and forced the gods to intervene.
In 2035, the International Union discovered the existence of the Novayan East Indies, whose presence was kept unknownGovernor-Militant Konstantin made it clear that he will not participate in Armanyan politics, as his only concern was Celina 20 years after Novaya declared war on the Valkyrurs was immediately looked upon globally with distrust and concern, despite the fact the Novayans were very content with the results. Attempts by the United North American States to force the Novayan Confederation to yield and adopt Western democracy and thinking as part of a plot to transform the latter into a collection of independent nations failed after the Novayan East Indies, whose spies were stationed in Armanya, launched an operation that destroyed the Central Intelligence Agency's assets and revealed what the Americans tried to do. As a result, the Saiyanese Federation, the arch-rival of Novaya, was angered by the Americans' attempts at destroying its arch-rival and immediately abandoned the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in favor of joining its rival, culminating in the establishment of the Unity Pact, an organization whose use of clear, concise languages led to many nations in Afronenda, South Amerigo, the Middle East and Atelansia to join.According to Governor-Militant Konstantin, he expected the world to reject North Amerigo, but never expected such nations to join after remembering everything the Americans had done during the Cold War.
==Government and politics==
===Federal government===
Composed of three branches of government, all headquartered in Anemore, the colonial government is the federal and national government of the Novayan East Indies. It is regulated by a strong system of checks and balances. Administratively, the government is operated by a civil-military bureaucracy, or stratocratic bureaucracy, wherein the administration of the East Indies was handled by military personnel; in 2029, power was devolved to the local levels to allow greater representation.
*The executive branch of government is headed by the Governor-Militant, who is the commander-in-chief of the East Indian Colonial Military as well as the autocratic military governor, can veto legislative bills before they become law, and appoints the members of the Admiralty and other officials, who administer and enforce federal laws and policies through their respective agencies. The position of Governor-Militant was hereditary, so only those of Konstantin's family were eligible.His daughter, Admiral Constantina, was the heiress apparent.
*The legislative branch of government is helmed by the East Indian High Command, Admiralty, General Staff and General Courts, the latter of which holds greater prominence and consisted of the Senate or Colonial Council and Chamber of Representatives. The Senate has 100 members (2 from each state), elected for a six-year term. On the other hand, the Chamber of Representatives have 725 members from various districts and regions, including those in the frontiers and peripheries.
*The judicial branch of government consists primarily of the Supreme Court, the appeal courts, and the regional courts.
===Administrative entities===
The states that made up the Novayan East Indies were divided into five categories: military captaincies, bureaucratic governorates, archepiscopal theocracies, frontier colonies and peripheral colonies.

===Military and national security===
The Novayan East Indian Colonial Military was divided into the East Indian Colonial Army, Colonial Aerospace Force (divided into the Air Force and Space Force), and Colonial Navy; also operating under it were two independent arms: the Civil Guard, which served as the police force tasked with maintaining order in the urban, suburban and rural regions; and the Colonial Gendarmerie, which consisted of militia forces and border patrol security forces tasked with maintaining order in the local precincts, frontiers, peripheries and remote areas. As of 2070, the East Indian Armed Forces had about 10.5 million personnel, with 3.5 million serving as active duty personnel and the remainder serving as reservists or auxiliary forces.
The Novayan East Indian Colonial Military was ultimately the largest combined armed forces in Celina. In Armanyan circles, the combined total numbers and strength of the East Indian Military and Crusader Commonwealth Armed Forcesstanding at 4.5 million personnel, with 2.5 million in active service and 2 million in reserve duty meant that the Novayan Armed Forcesstanding at 3 million personnel, with 1 million serving in active service and 2 million in the reserves has become the first-largest combined armed forces, with the United States Armed Forces,standing at 2,127,500 personnel, with 1,328,000 active personnel and 799,500 reserve personnel Soviet Armed Forces,standing at 17,650,000, with 4,900,000 active personnel and 12,750,000 reserve personnel Chinese Federation People's Liberation Army,standing at 2,545,000 personnel, with 2,035,000 active personnel and 510,000 reserve personnel and Hindustani Armed Forcesstanding at 2,610,550 personnel, with 1,455,550 active personnel and 1,155,000 reserve personnel behind it. Despite this terrifying personnel number and strength, the Novayan Armed Forces, Crusader Commonwealth Armed Forces and Novayan East Indian Colonial Military were independent of one another, though it is unclear whether or not any of the other two would respond to emergencies from any one of the three militaries.Said emergencies include godherjas or "god wars", human wars, et cetera.
Law enforcement was handled by the Civil Guard and Colonial Gendarmerie. The Civil Guard was divided into the Judgement Corps and Public Security Force. The Judgment Corps served as the on-field civil court forces tasked with handing out sentences, penalties and punishments when the courts were all used, and is best described as judges, jurists, enforcers, executors and civilian observers rolled into one. Meanwhile, the Public Security Force served as the law enforcement forces tasked with maintaining stability, peace and order in the East Indies, and worked alongside the Judgment Corps in detaining individual persons, as well as the Colonial Gendarmerie and Colonial Military in extremely high profile cases such as terrorist activities.
The Colonial Gendarmerie, on the other hand, was divided into the Frontier Security Force, Colonial Militia, Internal Corps and Interior Corps. The Frontier Security Force was tasked with border and remote patrols, while the Colonial Militia handles security in the peripheries and fringe locations; both, however, cooperate in all such locations and, alongside the Colonial Navy and Air Force, perform coastal patrols. The Internal Corps served as the internal security forces tasked with anti-foreign and anti-domestic subversive activity operations,this includes those agitated by Aegialeans who still seek to restore the Aegialean Empire militantly and the Interior Corps served as the equivalent of SWAT teams and paramilitary forces tasked with high-profile missions.
