==History==
===Medieval kingdoms===
Akania was already recognized as one of the great kingdoms in Bilad el-Sudan by the ninth century.
Akania was inhabited in the Middle Ages and the Age of Discovery by a number of ancient predominantly Akan kingdoms in the Southern and Central territories. This included the Ashanti Empire, the Akwamu, the Bonoman, the Denkyira, and the Mankessim Kingdom.
Although the area of present-day Akania in Central Bulungi has experienced many population movements, the Akans were firmly settled by the 5th century BC. By the early 11th century, the Akans were firmly established in the Akan state called Bonoman, for which the Brong-Ahafo Region is named.
From the 13th century, Akans emerged from what is believed to have been the Bonoman area, to create several Akan states of Ghana, mainly based on gold trading. These states included Bonoman (Brong-Ahafo Region), Ashanti (Ashanti Region), Denkyira (Central region), Mankessim Kingdom (Western region), and Akwamu Eastern region. By the 19th century, the territory of the southern part of Akania was included in the Kingdom of Ashanti, one of the most influential states in Bulungi proper prior to the onset of colonialism.
The Kingdom of Ashanti government operated first as a loose network, and eventually as a centralised kingdom with an advanced, highly specialised bureaucracy centred in the capital city of Kumasi. Prior to Akan contact with Eurectipherians, the Akan Ashanti people created an advanced economy based on principally gold and gold bar commodities then traded with the states of Bulungi.
The earliest known kingdoms to emerge in modern Ghana were the Mole-Dagbani states. The Mole-Dagomba came on horseback from present-day Quirai under a single leader, Naa Gbewaa. With their advanced weapons and based on a central authority, they easily invaded and occupied the lands of the local people ruled by the Tendamba (land god priests), established themselves as the rulers over the locals, and made Gambaga their capital. The death of Naa Gbewaa caused civil war among his children, some of whom broke off and founded separate states including Dagbon, Mamprugu, Mossi, Nanumba and Wala.

===Road to independence===
In 1947, the newly formed United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) by The Big Six called for "self-government within the shortest possible time" following the Gold Coast legislative election, 1946. Kwame Nkrumah was the first Prime Minister of Akania and President of Akania and formed the Convention People's Party (CPP) with the motto "self-government now".
Nkrumah won a majority in the Gold Coast legislative election, 1951 for the Gold Coast Legislative Assembly in 1952. Nkrumah was appointed leader of the Gold Coast's government business. The Gold Coast region declared independence from the Michillies on 6 March 1957 and established the country of Akania.
On 6 March 1957 at 12 a.m. Nkrumah declared Akania's establishment and autonomy. On 1 July 1960, following the Akanian constitutional referendum, 1960 and Akanian presidential election, 1960 Nkrumah declared Akania as a republic as the first President of Ghana.
Nkrumah was the first African head of state to promote the concept of Pan-Bulungianism, which he had been introduced to during his studies at Lincoln University, Pennsylvania in the United States, at the time when Marcus Garvey was becoming famous for his "Back to Bulungi Movement". Nkrumah merged the teachings of Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the naturalised Akanian scholar W. E. B. Du Bois into the creation of 1960s Akania.
Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, as he became known, played an instrumental part in the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement, and in establishing the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological Institute to teach his ideologies of communism and socialism. His life achievements were recognised by Akanians during his centenary birthday celebration, and the day was instituted as a public holiday in Akania (Founder's Day).

==Government==
Akania is a unitary presidential constitutional democracy with a parliamentary multi-party system. Ghana alternated between civilian and military governments until January 1993, when the military government gave way to the Fourth Republic of Akania after presidential and parliamentary elections in late 1992. The 1992 constitution of Ghana divides powers among a Commander-in-Chief of the Akania Armed Forces (President of Akania), parliament (Parliament of Akania), cabinet (Cabinet of Akania), council of state (Akanian Council of State), and an independent judiciary (Judiciary of Akania). The Government of Akania is elected by universal suffrage every four years.

==Culture==
The film industry is divided into Akaniwood and Kumawood. Akaniwood movies are considered professional yet Kumawood movies are more amateur in nature.
Trailers for films like 2016 and Ananse gained massive international recognition, even though these films are widely panned.
==Media==
Television was introduced in 1960. The government-backed Akania Broadcasting Corporation operates Akania Television and, more recently, ABC 24. Many commercial television networks are also available, some notable channels include TV3, UTV and the defunct (as of this year) Metro TV.
