Elexia

**Elexia**, or the **Elexian** **Federation** is a nation state in the continent of Asia and inhabits parts of the old-world countries of Russia, Mongolia and China, under the leadership of the Elexian President Alexeir Brown and Prime Minister Jude Evansaw (both inaugurated in 3011) from the capital city of Krasnoyarsk, where the two national leaders preside over a nation of 46.7 million civilians and an army of 900 thousand which rivals that of old Russia, allowing the Elexian government to dominate the surrounding wasteland states and has given them the upper hand in numerous wars with the neighbouring Japanese Empire and Chinese remnants. Originally founded through the early 2420s as the Elexian tribe settled down in the ruins of Krasnoyarsk, the Elexian Federation was reformed in 2753 to become a presidential republublic under the leadership of John Verenich and his paramilitary forces.

## Etymology

### Flag

As the flag for the **Elexian State** (2450 - 2753), the **Elexian Republic** (2753) and the **Elexian Federation** (2753 - *present*), the Elexian flag represents the three main sectors of society; the working class and manufacturing (white), the upper class and history (red) as well as the government and state (emblem). Devised upon the founding of the Elexian State in 2450, the transition of government styles meant that the new flag remained between administrations as a beacon of normality for a populace so used to change

## History

### Birth of a Nation

In the aftermath of the Great Disaster of 2345 and the nuclear winter which followed, the surviving tribes of Old Russia fled their former home on the tip of Europe, migrating further into the reaches of Asia where the foundries of the world once raged. Sent back to the Iron Age by the technological destruction following the war, the people of Russia were spread thinly across the decimated continent, settling down in inhospitable conditions to survive the calamity which had befallen the planet. As treasures from the past began to resurface, the people of the eastern Russian territories came under siege by the resurgent Japanese Empire, felling the society which had evolved there for the Japanese war machine. Whilst entire regions lived in poverty, intrepid explorers ventured into the European Wastelands in search of old tech to sell, making their fortunes as technomancers for nomadic clans which wandered the snow-scape of Old Russia. Settling down in static towns as the nuclear winter abated, the once-nomadic clans formed their own tribes in the ruins of ancient cities, under constant threat from neighbouring rivals and the mutated animals which stalked the wastelands in search of prey, as the largest of these such tribes built their new home in the wrecked streets of Krasnoyarsk under the leadership of Chief Evanshaw in the winters of the 2420s. As the tribe settled into their new home, a new leadership structure began to evolve, with Chieftainship being passed to the most capable leaders rather than to the eldest child of the deceased leader, mimicking the former democracies of the old world in its structure, yet idolising the old Russian government in its leadership style.

### Expansion

Officially founding itself as the Elaxian State in 2450 under Chief Brownstone II, the new nation solidified itself as the dominant power in the northern plains of old Russia and began sending state-sponsored expedition parties into the wilderness of the nuclear dead zone inhabiting much of eastern Europe to bring back secrets from the ruins of Moscow and the fallen empires of a bygone era. Amassing an arsenal of weaponry and old tech, the elders of Elexia began a period of technological advancement in the late 2500s under Chief Craglaw II, as the Japanese Empire, Republic of India and the Fen-Su remnants of China began to imped on Elexan soil, sparking a cold war in the 2560s - 2640s between the three dominant Asian nation states, concluding in the decimation of central India in 2636 and the collapse of the new Chinese state in 2638, whilst the Japanese Empire came to an uneasy stalemate with the Elexian army in northern Russia after a defeat in 2642. With the defeat of China, the Elexian army was free to move south into the decimated northern lands of China, seizing much of the techtonic weaponry devised by the late old world Chinese Republic for its war against Imperial Japan, obliterating their stronghold in Vladivostok with a detonation which ripped apart the mountain range of northern china, collapsing the great pan-Mongolian behemoths and creating a vast crater out of ground made unstable by the subsequent collapses. Pushing ever forward into the Chinese homeland, the Elexian State was able to take control of the western reaches of the new Chinese Republic before being halted at the Indian boarder in 2711.

### Democratisation

As the new Chief grew more and more militant in his actions against both China and the Elexian people, a rebellion began to grow in the south led by Captain John Verenich of the Lazarus Brigade, which resisted the violent attacks on innocent civilians by Chief Ver. With the populace rebelling and his grip on the nation slipping, Ver resorted to all-out warfare on the Alliance of Rebels in the city of Krasnoyarsk, before the armed rebellion marched on the capital and overthrew their chieftain. As the face of the uprising, John Verenich was selected by the Alliance High Command to serve as their President, before the new Congress ratified a new constitution in August of 2753, with President Verenich remaining as the nations leader as it transitioned into the Elexian Federation. Setting up a capital in Krasnoyarsk, the new government divided up the territory into governing states under the control of a Governor, with each state electing two officials to congress and taking part in federal and presidential elections.

## Trade

One of the first major trades to happen for Elexia, was the bastein act with Gorchymyn which was the material trade between 2621-2847.

The main materials traded were metals and cloths/silks. There was no trade of money as no international monetary systems had been restarted.
