==History==
===Pre-Colonial Era===
The earliest inhabitants of Asdania were the Lotic people. Their presence in Asdania dates back thousands of years, although the exact details of their pre-colonial history are fragmented. Later, the Mokgaloan people migrated into Northern Asdania. The Lotic and Mokgaloan peoples co-existed, with the Mokgaloan influence being more prominent in the northern regions.
===Colonial Era===
Asdania was colonized by the French in 1636, becoming known as French West Dania. The colony primarily served as a trading post and a stopover for sailors traveling to French East Dania. The colony's importance expanded significantly after the Dan War (1794-1803), where France gained control over a large portion of the Dan River, further solidifying their hold on the region. This period marked a significant shift in the social and political landscape of Asdania. The French imposed their language, culture, and administrative systems.
===Independence===
The seeds of Asdanian independence were sown in the late 19th century as a growing sense of nationalism and desire for self-determination swept across the colony. In 1897, after years of resistance and negotiation, France granted Asdania independence. The post-independence era was marked by a strong focus on nation-building. Asdania established close ties with its neighbor, Dania, forming the Dan Alliance. This alliance solidified economic and cultural collaboration, contributing to the growth and stability of both nations.
Asdania faced its first major conflict after independence when it was invaded by Nic-Dan during the First Isladanic War. The war ended in a victory for Asdania and its allies.
Asdania was a founding member of the Isladanic Community of Nations, a organization established on 1 May 1965, and headquartered in Champaxe.
==Government and politics==
Asdania is a parliamentary constitutional republic. The president functions as the head of state and the prime minister as the head of government. The government is based on the separation and balancing of powers among the legislative, judiciary and executive. The legislative power is held by the parliament and is elected every four years by a system of party-list proportional representation.
Asdania is administratively divided into ten provinces, each with its own governor and regional assembly. The provincial structure allows for decentralized governance and promotes local autonomy.
