Commonwealth of Embasora

The **Commonwealth of Embasora** is a Federation with its constituent states called Marinas, it is one of the 11 original nations of the Antares System and a founding state of the Antares Confederacy. It has a developed economy and is rich in natural resources.

## History

Feared to have been wiped out by the volcano Mt. Sabij, which was mistakenly thought to be dormant, the original settlers of Embasora were instead forced to relocate to a safer, if less hospitable island chain. Their struggles in the first few decades forced the implementation of harsh, restrictive measures by the Directorate of Embasora which culminated in a civil war and subsequent overthrow of the Directorate in 116 AL, a provisional government made up of some of the marinas then existed until 122 AL, when the Commonwealth of Embasora was proclaimed with the signing of the Consitution.

A fiercely democratic system has endured ever since, but largely failed to alleviate the strain on their society.

## Culture

Amongst Embasora's many films are two beloved franchises: Gilgacrab and Crabcules. During the Vrul War a long-awaited crossover film was made, featuring the showdown between the two. However, the film was met with poor reviews and low box office showings. The poor reviews were largely blamed on the Vrul War, which had negatively impacted the whole entertainment industry. The UTP/Screk war also saw the film industry failure of "Werewolf of Sabij".

Crabs are very prevalent amongst Embasora's culture with crab being a popular dish and in many cultural works.

Embasora is home to Hỏa Chủy University, whose research efforts into magma venting have helped pacify some of the largest and most volatile volcanoes on the capital of the Republic of Torix, torix.

## Politics

Embasora has developed a very strong democracy after the overthrow of the tyrannical regime, boasting the highest voter turnout rates in the entire Confederacy. Constitution Day is a major holiday, with mass celebrations lasting a week or more. The fierce democratic tradition engendered anger at the tyrannical government of UTP, which was likened to the Directorate that once ruled Embasora.

The constituent states of the Commonwealth are called Marinas, the name coming from how they are situated on the ocean. One of them is the Federal Marina of Song Long, which had seen vast economic recovery as Antares war production accelerates.

Along with the Sabmadi Republic, Tehnali Republic, and the Union of Thanh-Jenal, the Commonwealth of Embasora participates in Dejen United, a joint venture headlined by the Dejen Fleetyards.

## Economy

Initially impoverished and without the means to exploit the immense mineral wealth of its home islands, the reunification of the Antares System is slowly transforming Embasora. Investments from the nearby Sabmadi and Tehnali Republics have caused the nation's economic growth to skyrocket, although challenges remain in ensuring the booming economy is one that benefits all Embasorans. Later economic activities included printing, such as posters of the iconic Fall of Melaka. War time production would boost the economic recovery of the Federal Marina of Song Long.

## Geography

The Commonwealth of Embasora is the sole nation on the planet Vinh, orbiting the star Dejen in the Antares System. Vinh's tropical moon, Ziva, is home to the Sabmadi Republic and the Tehnali Republic.

Volcanism remains a major issue in Embasora; the eruption of Mount Sabij was the loudest recorded eruption in history, and resettlement may someday be necessary once more.
