The Technocratic Union of Altayria (Officially “Technocraticum Unio Altayria"), is a country located in a mountain range in Central/East Asia. The country itself sits in the middle of the Altay Sea and Altay strait, bordering countries like The Russian Federation, Albion, The Ottoman Empire and The Mongol Federation.

The TUA consists of four main culture groups: Altayrian Romans, Ming Chinese, Karaman Turks and Lyons. Conquered territories other than the core part of Altayria have been since 2417 a series of autonomous territories mostly controlled by the current cultures of those nation, but with the Altayrians having the final say in most governing there.

The TUA went through underwent through some change in history but is nowadays known as a Dual-parliamentary democratic technocracy (DPDT). Where the Advenans and Humans are put up as heads of government. This way, both races are represented equally in government. All others are classified as either under the Human category or the Advenan category, though political parties are mainly ruled by the Human-Advenan majority.

The nation of Altayria itself was born from the small nation state of New Terra, which gradually had grown to it’s tremendous size during the Unification Wars and with it’s current size during The Altay War. In these wars, New Terra grew to large size comparable to the origin of Rome. After the Unification Wars they proclaimed Greater Altayria. Later on, they invaded the smaller nations of Karaman, Lyon and Ming. After that they made them into smaller autonomous regions with limited power.

The nearby island of Khyargas is factually not under direct control of Altayria, but the micronation of Khyargas is a Altayrian Protectorate (**Tectumque)**. Altayria only got to expand to it’s current borders without any small or major overseas territories. Though there are future plans to have research holdouts all around the globe.

Together with Khyargas they are part of “The Accendentque Accord”, a research cooperative where they both aid each other with the further experimentation of technologies and studies. Although the research is more beneficial to the TUA than for Khyargas in most situations, both understand that through this cooperation, more can be achieved for the two of them.

Internationally, Altayria has been through it’s highs and lows. Once being the fastest advancing nation in the world towards being more equal to the other powers of the world. This technological development could’ve continued onwards, but was halted by Altayria itself because the people couldn’t culturally adapt at that rate. As of now, Altayria stands as a secondary power in the world, having left it’s mark in the local region and upholding a prestigious legacy that is still carried on to this day.

## History

### **New Terra [2243-2333 AD]**

#### **The Old Roman Expedition**

*"Whatever is done well enough is done quickly enough."*

- Augustus Caesar

In the year 243 AD, the Roman Empire set out an expedition force to scout out for new land and if possible, settle there. An enormous expedition was assembled for the task.  They were supplied with enough people and resources to survive for years. The idea is that this expedition would be so large, that it would be enough to colonize in one go and return, without the years-long process of trying to make the colony self-sufficient. The entire expedition crew could survive for years on sea.

Most crew members consisted of people who were tired of the life they lived in the Roman Empire, and thus were very eager to sign up for the job. Alas, the crew would never return back to report their success. 120 days after setting sail, the crew got hit by a extremely violent and powerful storm, never seen on such a scale. The entire crew passed out during the storm. And while they were passed out, a rift through time appeared and went through it.

The expedition eventually woke up on a unfamiliar coast, and don’t remember anything about their former past in the Roman Empire. Estimates suggest that only 80% of the entire fleet managed to be together in one place, 16% strayed away and the remainder all on the bottom of the sea or elsewhere. The remainders set up a small settlement, which would later become the capital of Nova Terra itself.

#### **A New “New World”**

Months after the crash and surviving, the former expedition starts to notice ruins of people that were here before. The first thing that they noticed is that the ruined buildings and wrecks were unusually, very advanced unlike anything they’ve seen before. Towering ruined buildings and transports that looked like they were powered by some resource or fuel, rather than through force and manpower…

One year after the establishment of Nova Terra in 2243 AD (245 PAD), a small scouting group noticed a large wreck along the Facultas River. It seems to be a gigantic iron vessel. Around the vessel, they noticed a large settlement of people. But these people don’t look anything like any human at all… After the group walked in closer to their settlement, they immediately made contact with them, even though not a word had been said yet.

#### **Unfamiliar, but like us**

The strange people explained that they are explorers that chart the sea of stars in what used to be this vessel. No-one from the scout group believed a single thing of what they just said. Seeing as they thought it was impossible to ever leave the planet. But after some convincing, some talk and the big ship seen in the back, the Romans finally accepted that they were these former explorers.

They also explained as to how they immediately communicated with the Romans without flaw. They communicate through telepathic bursts. It can be used to instantly talk to whoever or whatever, no matter their language. The privacy of a conversation can be controlled to those involved in the conversation. So for example: they can talk to only one person, and he could hear them while the others can’t. The only thing they’d hear is meaningless mumbling sounds from them. The signals can also act like normal speaking, where everyone in the vicinity could hear them talking.

One noticeable thing is that they too, were tasked to explore places from their empire. Where they eventually found their way to Earth, only to come crashing down as well. Another thing is that they don’t remember a thing about their past, their empire, their former culture, not even their own identity.

The first thing the Romans brought up by the Romans was if their people are foreign to this land. They promptly said that the planet they were living on wasn’t their original home. And thus, came up with the conclusion that these people were foreigners out of this world, aliens. After that, they told about their story and that showed how similar the two are. Last thing they questioned is: “Why didn’t you people repair your vessel?”, and they said that they accidentally locked themselves out without any way back in. All tools necessary for repair were completely locked up in there. Breaking in was and is also impossible due to the hard and thick armor of the vessel. The vessel and place itself would later be named “Locus” by the Romans. The leaders of the foreigners requested if they’d let them get escorted to their settlement, Nova Terra, for an arrangement with the expedition leaders.

#### **The Dawn of a New Terra**

*"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."*

- Marcus Aurelius.

After some talk with the leading people of the settlement of Nova Terra, they both come to realize that they shared many similar fates. August Victor, the leading member of the former expedition met with the leading members of the aliens. Proposed to them the following: To work together with the Romans, for the two races to collaborate and cooperate in this unfamiliar world they found themselves, lest stand alone and frail in the unknown.

Flag of New Terra

The aliens were debating amongst themselves, with the Romans only able to hear unintelligible noises. They agreed upon the following condition, a compromise you could say. Their condition is that the two races should rule together in joint-cooperation. Two ruling people, one human and one amongst themselves. This way, both are represented when it comes to leading their people. And that it’s never in favor for one. The Romans were discussing the details further on. Like what type of governing should be used, titles and established rules of this new country. Eventually, all was agreed upon and in 2243 (245) AD, the two races formally united under their own banner and nation: The Dual Republic of Nova Terra (NT).

August Victor would become the first elected Prometheus of the republic, whereas Conviva Extraneus would become the first elected Saffi of the Republic

Due to the memory loss of the aliens, the Romans have given them a name: The Advenans/Adveni. After that, they’ve given themselves new names, deduced from the names the Romans have as well.

#### **Progress for Survival, Survival for Progress**

After the formation of the republic, things began to prosper greatly under the union. The Advenans were welcomed with open arms by the Romans, with only so few standing neutral or lower about them.

Technologically, they began very low, but became extremely advanced very quickly. The Romans only had their own knowledge, tech and strategies. But with the help of the Advenans and small studies on the hull of the local ruins and science vessel Locus, things started to pick up the pace. Though forgotten in their minds, they have already far outclassed the former Roman Empire in just 30 years of technological and military progress.

Former Roman legions have been upgraded with weapons that are ancient, yet highly advanced. Spears, swords, shields, armor and even crossbows, made from legendary materials of the outer Locus’ armor itself. Certain siege weapons were also made from the materials of the ship.

The materials were extracted through simple methods, which was good enough because it could be smelted afterwards very easily. There was also a whole lot to gather, due to the massive size of the ship itself. They were also thinking of breaching through the armor to get inside the ship, but it was protected by an even harder layer of armor, no simple tool could breach. So the only thing they were able to get out of the ship was its softer outside armor.

Nevertheless, this was enough to assemble a great amount of advanced Roman Legions. These legions were all equipped with said weapons. Leading troops of the military were garnished with prestigious accessories to show their rank and intimidating might. Even to this day, the same style and color is even used in the modern military of the TUA.

But before all these technologies were conceived of, they’ve come to notice quite a lot of tribes around their territory. The leaders in Nova Terra have decided that they all should be brought together under one flag, to unite the surrounding territories of Altayria under one flag. Further conquest would also help understand more about the current world itself, its rich land and further insights.

### **Grand Altayria [2333-2439 AD]**

#### **The Unification Wars and Grand Altayria**

Conquest of the tribes was swift due to the overwhelming and unmatched military that swooped all over Southern Altayria. All were soon quickly integrated into the empire with minimal losses. Sometimes, there was not even fighting needed to annex the smaller tribes. Just the military prowess was intimidating enough to join. Some were even so impressed, they straight up want to join, even without an ultimatum sent to them.

New Terra also met 3 other nations close and or on par with itself. To the south and east of Altayria lay:

1. Karaman (The New Karaman Caliphate)
2. Lyon (The Kingdom of Lyon)
3. Ming (The People’s Republic of Ming)

Lyon was part of the small remainder of the expedition. The part that went adrift had established their own state, following the orders of the ruling royalty that rules over the realm. The nations of Karaman and Ming were nations that claimed to have established themselves recently.

Nonetheless, the conquest of the tribes was going very well for the Romans and Advenans, having conquered almost all of current day Altayria. Only they weren’t able to conquer the other three nations due to it being more than they could handle at the moment. But the conquests came to a grinding halt when they were making their advance to Northern Altayria. The region there was mountainous, and the tribes there have entrenched themselves very deeply in that position. Large amounts of legionnaires died, trying to climb the treacherously defended mountains. Eventually they were able to take the mountains, but not without its own losses.

In 2332 (334) AD, all neighboring tribes were conquered and integrated into the republic. 19 years of conquest has finally come to a halt, now that the region has been fully united under one flag. Due to this unification, The Dual Republic of Nova Terra has decided that a new name and flag should be decided for the unified nation.

Flag of Grand Altayria

And in 2333 (335) AD, the nation changed into The Unified Dual-Republic of Grand Altayria, usually referred to as Grand Altayria (GA). The name is based upon the name of the region itself, and its name was discovered and referred to the many ruins of this area. Unfortunately due to all the expended resources, both from Locus and the Earth itself, Grand Altayria has depleted all of the available materials. Conquests can’t be done for now, and the nation went into a state of peace and isolationism. Their main focus for them was to develop the conquered territories to further bolster Greater Altayria itself. Sadly, due to the lack of resources and no real way of conquering, Grand Altayria got struck by a technological stagnation. Progress wouldn't come soon.

Nonetheless, the Altayrian Romans and Advenans here made quite the legend of their conquest. Stories about the legionnaires standing against hundreds of combatants, yet standing victorious without facing many losses. Another story suggest that one tribe managed to get their hands on old world artillery, and when they fired upon the sole legionnaire scouting the area, he managed to withstand the blast and report the tribe’s activity there.

#### **The Second Expedition**

In 2365 (367) AD, having somewhat recovered from the stagnation, Grand Altayria has plans to set out expeditions to discover far out places. The goal of them is to find others out there, make contact with them, learn more about this world and if possible, find or learn about the Old Roman Empire. 4 years later, The Second Roman Expedition was set, sometimes referred to as the Altayrian Expedition. During the expedition they’ve encountered unique places that have never been seen before, met new and rising nations and learned more about the world and how it got to this point.

To the Altayrian Romans and Advenans’ surprise, they’ve come to realize that they have been brought forward in time, and have come to the conclusion that the storm was some sort of portal or rift that put them 2000 years in the future. They believe to have arrived in what is around 2237-2241AD, with the current year actually being 2369 AD. They’ve also come to realize that the former Roman Empire that was based in Rome is no more. The Roman majority of Altayria are literally the last remnants of Rome on Earth. The news was shocking to hear from many Romans, seeing as some were able recall a little of the glory of Rome and it’s might. Also reading some stories they were able to find in the ruins. But at the same time, they are also relieved, seeing as they are now able to seize their own fate and destiny, away from the grips of Old Rome. Or some see Altayria itself as a continuation of Rome, claiming Rome just moved to a different place than it dying out.

It is with the discovery of the outside world that Grand Altayria reached a new era, the First Industrial Revolution for them. This brought many things to their industry, development, exploitation of land and science. This all revitalized old technologies and brought in new ones. Unique new technologies that would first come to light are simple firearms, automobiles, taller constructs and industrial facilities. Industrial Advancements would be led by the Industriae Incrementum Department (IID). A research division specialized in coming up with new ideas for the area of industry.

#### **The Altay War/Second Unification Wars**

But this revitalization and golden era of Altayria would eventually lead to the nation becoming overconfident in its capabilities. Because in 2400 with the wake of the new century of The Gregorian calendar, Grand Altayria decided it would be an excellent time to invade and attempt to incorporate the kingdoms and nation of Karaman, Lyon and Ming into their own. It first started with the invasion of Karaman. Thus beginning The Altay War of 2400. Confident enough of its capabilities, Altayria decided to invade the other neighboring nations to speed up the process. Formally starting The Altay War, sometimes referred to as “The Second Unification Wars”.

These incursions went terribly for Altayria. Altayrian troops were not experienced in early modern warfare and also haven’t seen fighting since 2313, 87 years ago was the last time they’ve had any fighting to recall from. Only Advenans were able to recall the combat experience and the Altayrian Romans only noted down basic tactics from those conflicts. The enemy constantly was able to find holes in the frontline to poke through and surround us. And the nation was even on the verge of collapsing. Even when there was enough to fill the lines, there wasn’t enough to make a breakthrough of the enemy lines.

Council of National Intelligence Logo

Any practical form of war was not going to work here. The only thinkable way they could think of winning now is through subversive action and stirring up a conflict within the enemy. Thus Grand Altayria created their own agency, known today as the Council of National Intelligence (CNI). The idea was simple, simply take over through subterfuge or distract the enemy enough for them to become diverted enough to fight. For these operations were exiled pan-nationalists wishing to join the TUA used as the main infiltration force. They would either cause enough of a ruckus at their home front, start a civil war or complete takeover. This way, they thought that victory would be more ensured, seeing as there’s also a large presence of pan-nationalism throughout these nations, strangely enough.

These operations were to be immediately executed, in hopes of securing a multiple victories as fast as possible. The combined plans for these operations was to be named: “Protocol Code “Azure”” (PCA).

#### **Subversive Warfare**

The first operation, codenamed “Operation Gaul”, was to be targeted towards The Kingdom of Lyon. Their mission, was as follows: Depose the Lyonan Dynasty, to which a peace negotiation could be handled. The operatives would be first transported into the capital of Lyon itself, to which they must infiltrate the Royal Palace of Augustus. After all was set, hold the royal family hostage and if they are willing, announce their surrender. This went without any flaw for the CNI.

After the negotiations, the following peace deal named “The Treaty Of Daniae” was established on April the 9th 2413, at 9:15 am:

1. The Integration of Lyon
2. Conquered territories would be occupied, and after the war they’d become autonomous regions.
3. The Lyonan Dynasty was to be deposed, but they were allowed to rule the now controlled territory. Making them officially the first house of royalty in Altayria.

Some may call this one of the slowest conquests in recent history (13 years). Yet the operation was so recent and quickly done, it might’ve been one of the quickest of its own kind (taking only 51 hours in total).

Operation “Glacies Crepito” would be targeted towards the People’s Republic of Ming. Out of all the operations, this one would become the most difficult of them all. Mainly because there isn’t a lot of information of location, and their security was at an all-time high. Nevertheless, the operation would make all the difference with what it all caused. Because even though there was not enough intel about the nation, Altayria knew of one thing. They were in quite a power struggle. The only thing that needed to happen was to assassinate the Ming Premier Zhu Yuanzhang, and the rest would completely erupt. Enough so, that they would be able to move in without too great of a resistance.

Though a little bumpy, the operation was eventually a success. The Ming operatives were able to sneak in and assassinate Zhu by poisoning his dinner. A famous quote from one of the operatives:

“You could say I helped some soul out, by making sure he has food for the rest of his life”.

After that, the suspected happened. The power struggle was able to fully rage on and there was now a multi-civil war within the Ming Republic. Out of this opportunity, Altayria Swept in and dealt the final blow, and announcing the surrender of Ming

Negotiations followed, with “The Treaty Of Karamay” was signed on September 21 2416 at 14:08:

1. The Annexation of Ming
2. Occupation for the duration of the war, with them becoming autonomous after the war ended.
3. All leaders of the Ming civil war are to be sent to the National Mental Health Department, where they would stay until their mental issues have been resolved (, which more of an excuse to imprison them).

This operation only took much longer than Operation Gaul (1368~ hours)

The only failed operation of the war was “Operation Blatta”, targeted at the Karaman Caliphate. This was the only operation to have really failed out of Code Azure due to some unexpected actions. But first, the operation was planned as so: Plant explosives at key logistical locations, munitions factories, warehouses, etc. After that, the expected results was that they would have nothing to support the soldiers on the front. This would have come to be if it wasn’t for the infamous “Shelling of Içel”. Where the notorious Admiral Retorta Anima rejected any order not to bombard the coastline, she used Altayrian Naval Vessels bombarded the coastal city of Içel whilst all the assigned operatives were establishing themselves there, Injuring and killing a important amount of operatives in the process.

The admiral became infamous for this tragedy, being stripped from any position in the navy. Despite the rough setback, it didn’t matter anyways. Altayria was already finished with the other fronts and had enough capability to singlehandedly defeat Karaman.

After 17 years, the final war had concluded, and sealed with “The Treaty of Adana”, which was established on December 12th  2417, at 12:50 pm:

1. The Incorporation of Karaman.
2. Autonomy would be granted to the people of the region
3. The former caliph Karaman Bey will be deposed and stripped from his power.

### Technocraticum Unio Altayria [2439-]

#### Transformation

17 years of horrendous conflict, the war was finally over. Hundreds upon thousands have died on the battlefield hoping that they would make quick gains and return back home in a couple of months or years, and yet, thousands had to suffer years of avoidable conflict which eventually became useless in the end due to the use of covert actions. Altayria tried their best to make sure it’s citizens believed the soldiers actually fought for the war, rather than that subversive activities have done it. This information was soon to be leaked out by the rouge admiral Retorta Anima, who was recently fired from the navy. The last thing she did was to take the remainder of the fleet, sailed into Nova Terra and parked there intimidatingly. People at the time presumed she would bombard Nova Terra as well, leave almost nothing remaining of the great city.

But then, after she gained all the attention of the people there, an announcement was held which might have defined Altayria as we know it today:

“You’ve all been lied to! We didn’t win the war because of our sheer might and tactics, we’ve only won because we just did simple subversive activities. Thousands of soldiers had to die on the battlefield, only to have it all account to nothing more! Some people, especially Advenans live up tens upon hundreds of years, only for them to die needlessly on the frontline. Ask this to yourselves, are these the people really wise enough to be put in charge of this nation!?”

After that speech, she took off, sailing away with the remainder of her fleet. Without firing a single bullet, a single cannon, she just set off. Not to be seen again for now…

At first people just thought that she was just talking crazy at the time, maybe she is even. But the truth then further leaked out to the wider public. Soldiers explaining that it is all true, locals from conquered territories saying they have never seen any fighting close to them. This caused massive instability in Grand Altayria, which was already on the brink of economic turmoil because of the war. It would not take long for the desire in a change of policy…

#### **The Altay Spring**

Unrest was raging on in Altayria during the 2420’s, all time high unemployment, mass strikes, and calls to take down the government. All attempts to silence any revolt, would only create more revolt. Grand Altayria’s sun is setting, with a new one rising to take its place. The person stepping in to take this sun, would be none other than the Revered “Archimedes Illustratio”. An architect that worked up his way through with unrelenting force, passing every class and year like it’s a trivial act. He worked several years in as a teacher in The Grand Altayrian Engineering Institute, teaching others the great significance of architecture. In 2389 he wrote a book called “The Art of Wall”, which had simple and advanced architecture methods explained and written down, inspirations and the most famous part of all, The Arcology Theory, which explains about an enormous ecological and urban complex which would take up less space per person and house thousands

Alas, he would not continue his architecture ambitions any time soon. In 2406, he was drafted to join the war front against The Kingdom of Lyon. He would remain in that dug in trench for 9 years not really fighting anyone until the end of the war. Even after the surrender of Lyon, the duty thereafter was to stay as garrison in Lyon. After the occupation and war, he returned back home in Alba Columba, only to see that The Grand Altayrian Engineering Institute has been closed down for the moment. “11 years of doing nothing, and I come back to this?”

Having nothing else to do, he visited his family in Nova Terra to visit his relatives for vacation. While he was there, he saw the chaos that erupted when Admiral Retorta Anima made her announcement. The last sentence really inspired the fine mind of Archimedes. He asked himself this question: “What if I took matters into my own hand?”. This question filled him with new purpose, he immediately planned his next move. His plan was to form his own political union party, which obviously needed quite some support but most importantly, an Advenan working by his side. The only question is, who? Who holds the same viewpoint as him? The only other possible contacts he had were either people from The Grand Altayrian Engineering Institute, or some war-friends he made.

Luckily, he was able to recall one Advenan which he was good friends with for quite a while. Videntis Socium, an Advenan who was an associate of Archimedes when he was still studying class. Funnily enough, military records of Army Group Gaul Caesar indicate that he was also involved in the Altay War. He was with the engineer corps of his army group, just in a different division. Videntis didn’t study further in architecture or construction engineering, he was more intrigued by old world technologies and wishes to uncover it’s secrets. He became more known for his self-made title of “Archeologist-Engineer”.

In the military records, he was able to find out that he lives in his home at the Science capital of Accendentque. So Archimedes set out to his home there. When the two saw each other again, they rejoiced, because it has been quite some while of course. Archimedes was invited inside for some delightful cup of coffee. Archimedes explained that he isn’t just here for idle chatter and visit, and explained to him about the formation of their own political party. The two knew about the truth of the war, about there being no actual reason for their military force because of the CNI. Videntis agreed that things should change for the better in Altayria, and wishes work together with Archimedes to improve things around here. Thus, in October 31st  of 2427, this was considered the official of their political party: The Union Forward (UF), which was a party that wishes to improve the conditions of Altayria and to also strife for it to be one of, if not, the most advanced nation on Terra.

#### United Nos Movere

*"Like an ice cream parlor with different flavors, and there being one that’s just old spoiled milk"*

-Archimedes Illustratio

After the announcement of The Union Forward, the party grew steadily under Archimedes and Videntis. Archimedes would plan most of the improvements himself, whilst Videntis acts as the advisor/consultant and does most of the support gaining for the party, sometimes he was referred to as “The Party’s Seer”, for he surprisingly knew a lot of the specific desires of the people themselves, even if he hadn’t asked or knew it beforehand. With their plans and hindsight, they had the highest chance of gaining lots of support.

But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t some form of competition. There were other radical parties wishing to take control of Altayria through their own means. Parties like The Duxist Front (DF), The Technocratic Socialist Party (TSP) and of course The Greater Altayrian Bastion (GAB), sworn itself to keep its position during these uncertain times.

They had their ideological differences, but the radicals ultimately shared one goal: To bring down the old ways of governing and to replace it with their own. Funnily enough, they had had one common thing about their ideology. They didn’t want to give the slightest chance that buffoons, idiots, fools would take the leading roles of the country. And were more their own flavor of the same kind of thing.

The Duxist Front was quite extremist itself, and were firm enemies of the Technocratic Socialist Party. Whilst the Union Forward and The Greater Altayrian Bastion were more rivals than people who truly despised eachother. DF and TSP performed more harsher actions, whilst GAB and UF were more reasonable and formal about their campaigns and movements.

DF was made up of many veterans of the Altay War, and formed militia’s across the country making the life of any and all socialist they could find horrendous. The same also happened vice versa with The TSP. Though Duxism has caused more casualties than that the TSP. It was because of these actions that they didn’t really become popular amongst the people of Altayria.

Meanwhile, GAB and the UF were in a more formal competition against each other. And had more similar ideals when compared to each other. But their competition mostly consisted of holding campaigns, promising improvements and to make Altayria Great again. Though even this competition was somewhat more one-sided (because of the unpopular decision to start the Altay War), The Greater Altayrian Bastion didn’t really gain that much of a support from the populous, whilst The UF was rapidly gaining them. Not only because of hindsight and their plans, but because of the growing popularity of the ideology it has over the unpopular GAB. Because at this point, the people were sick and tired of idiots.

Greater Altayria Elections 2430 AD

During the elections of 2430, The Union Forward has far surpassed all other competing parties and gained the most support of the people. With the end of the elections resulting with The Union Forward now in control of Altayria. Their first course of action was to recover the declining economy of Altayria, which had been suffering for the past 10+ years.

#### **Restoration**

Their economic recovery plan was named “New Change” (RAAO), it was A 7-year plan to restore Altayria from the ruins of The Altay War and to bring it to a greater stage of importance to the world.

The first part of the plan named “Restituo”, was to give jobs to the retired soldiers of the Altay War. This in turn would not only help recover the economy, but also pacify the rowdy extremists of The Duxist Front and The Technocratic Socialist Party to find more meaning in their own life than just making life miserable for others.

The second named “Aedificabo” was to further industrialize the nation itself. This reason itself was proven during The Altay war, where many industries were repurposed for war. Even that economy was in itself quite pathetic. So that’s why in a future situation where Altayria has to either defend or assert itself, it needs the use of a stronger economy. But of course, it’s main purpose now is to help recover the people and improve quality of life on average.

The third part named “Augere” was a plan for an improvement of infrastructure. To get around Altayria was also quite the trouble, with transport options costing you quite a lot. And even if you had fast transport, you’d only have access to a few places via railway.

The fourth and final part named “Opulentos”, was a plan to make the currency more valuable. Because for quite some time, The Aureus hasn’t really gained its value internationally in the last few decades, mainly because old smelting methods were still commonly used to make the currency. Money laundering was also a popular thing to do because of this. The way the Aureus worked was also complicated enough, so that’s why they want to re-invent the Aureus into something new that works best. Back in the day, 1 Aureus would be worth 25 Denarius and 1 Denarius consists of 10 Sestertius

The Aureus now works in a way that 1 Aureus = 100 Denarius, and that 1 Denarius = 100 Sestertius. This way, the currency would stay more stable. Along with a more up-to-date usage of smeltery.

And in the span of 7 years, all of the listed plans were made true and worked out successfully. Economically, Altayria skyrocketed and people were living in their golden age of progress. From this, the nation was able to invest it back into institutions and the advancement of science. It’s because of these actions that Altayria has reached a completely new era. But in the current presidency of Archimedes and Videntis, a national referendum was held that ultimately altered the fate for Altayria itself.

The referendum was held, asking if “Political candidates should follow through an entire institute to elect themselves”. This itself was practically fully backed by the public and by many seats of the Assembly. And thus, in 2439, it was official that you now must own a doctorate to elect yourself and your party. The main reason for the backing was because people wanted smart people to make the decisions, and not made by some random individual feeling imperialistic one evening. If there is a decision to be made, it would be best if it was discussed amongst the educated people of the country.

With this referendum, another was held shortly after that. It was the question of the identity. The referendum simply asked: “Should Altayria bear a new identity and coat for its recent transformation?”

This vote was supported by around 90~% of the population, and on the 2nd of February, 2439, Altayria bears its current name: “The Technocratic Union of Altayria” otherwise referred to as “Technocraticum Unio Altayria” (TUA). And to this day, it still holds that name.

#### **Retirement and the Future of Altayria**

After the next elections of 2441 were around the corner, Archimedes announced that he will be retiring from his current position as co-leader of The Union Forward. He said that he’d rather pursue his ambitions he had a long while ago and study to further architecture and designs. For the rest of his life, he continued giving class to students of the reopened Grand Altayrian Engineering Institute. He then retired from teaching at the late age of 68 and died of old age at the age of 75. At his death, hundreds of people attended his funeral.

Videntis Socium would run 5 more terms of presidency until he retired, and Pallas Mackenzie took in his position as Saffron. Videntis continues his archeological discoveries of the old world to this day, hoping to discover something groundbreaking for the future of Altayria.

Around the year 2470, relations between Altayria and The New Republic of Khyargas begun to improve. And in 2497, a research accord had been signed between the two nations, named “The Accendentque Accord” which is based around the research capital of Altayria.

Under the guidance of the new Altayrian government, technological advancements came out at a rather fast pace, plus the adept economy of Altayria, quality of life would become very high here for its time. But to make sure the people aren’t constantly in a phase where they have to adapt to new things, the technological advancements have been slowed down somewhat, with current discoveries only being allowed to slowly come around. This halting of progress has stirred up some scientists in Altayria, wishing for great advancements to not be withheld for so long. A conspiracy has been formed around the idea of Accelerationism in Altayria.
