Gaurma

Gaurma officially the Federal Republic of Gaurma, also sometimes called the Protectorate of Gaurma, is a country in the Naval Art Roleplay. It has existed in its current form from 3898, after it lost much of its land to the breakaway nations of Laji'irk, Pankar-Koram, and Akhiyo-tiyo, which has now joined their northern neighbor, Orugyn. The country is located on the continent of Balkania, in the region that the Gaurmay call Kiarma, which encompasses most of the neighboring nations. the country isn't landlocked as it has a small sliver of land that connects to the Kavka Sea.

**Gaurma pre-Balkanian Continental War**

in 3890 Gaurma was a much larger nation, having a population of 420 million people. It had a much larger military and was quite friendly with its northern neighbor, Orugyn. its Southern neighbor, Rikija wasn't on that good terms, after a war ten years prior. at this time Gaurma's capital city was Alun, located on the limakiazh River, though the largest city in the nation was Gaginak located on the Venrea River. with a metropolitan population of 31 million people, the city was perhaps the largest on the continent. at the time Gaginak had 1/3 the population of Orugyn, which at the time had a population around 100 million. though other notable cities were: Zangona City, Ji'iro, Ilun. Ji'iro, and Ilun at the time were called federal subjects, large cities that functioned like states. Gaginak wasn't a federal subject as it was the capital of the state of Venrea.

Zangona City was the location of the Holy See of Zangona, a small microstate where the religion Fowehnmism had its capital. Fowehnmism is the largest religion in Gaurma (pre-war and present day). Fowehnmism comes from Castokionism, which has another opposing sect called "Thofo'omatism".

**Early communist troubles**

it first started in late 3889, on the 29th of Morsugue, there was a riot in the town of khainei, in the state of Unsora. it started over issues with coal mining, particularly several accidents that had happened in nearby coal mines. workers refused to work, until the government did something to prevent such accidents. the riot first started as a simple protest, but eventually the situation escalated. while nothing was fully proven, there was some suspicion that the Communist-Democrat party was funding the riot hoping for a national revolution.

the GNA sent troops to try and pacify the rioters, but were unsuccessful. after one GNA soldier and ten rioters were killed, the remaining soldiers tried to prevent the riot from growing. after several weeks of riots in Khainei, it was put down on the 15th of Serri by GNA soldiers in heavy combat gear. it was labeled the Khainei massacres as 100 rioters were killed, though the rioters were labeled as rebels by the government. while the riot in Khainei was done, there was a substantial amount of communists still around.

eventually the communist-democrat party accused of treason and was dismantled as and official party. the Liberal-democrats would relabel themselves as the Liberalists, to distance themselves from the communists.

**Gaurmay-Beyrat crisis**

one of the GNN's top captains: Dimakh Genoi, had left a note on the 17th of Einmassour, one month after the Khainei riots ended. the letter would say:

“if you’re reading this then i suspect I have already begun. many may be confused by my actions to come, but I can no longer stay silent. This country is no longer mine, it doesn’t help its own people and even massacre them. I’ll teach the government what happens when it ignores the problems of the people. It was founded to help the people against a cruel government, but now it has circled back around. The people are crying for liberation. And I can no longer serve such a cruel country in good conscience. I’ll see if Captain Ke’ez of the M-1 will come alongside me. He has always been a man I could see eye to eye with. When I set sail I’ll inform the crew what is happening, if they follow me, then we shall be a menace to this foul nation, and any of it's allies! If they do not agree, then I shall spare the boys from trouble. They can go back to the mainland, but I’ll at least deal a blow to this foul nation”

the following day Gaurma issued a warning to other nations that the two submarines: V-2 and M-1, with their captains: Dimakh Genoi and Akhim Ke’ez had gone AWOL, and their actions were no long the responsibilities of Gaurma. the two had just stolen two of Gaurma's most modern submarines: the V-2 was a submarine aircraft carrier, that carried three float planes, the M-1 was an experimental midget submarine carrier, it carried three smaller midget subs inside of it. the two submarines could theoretically stay at sea for almost 50 days.

on the same day the government of Gaurma learned of the sinking of the merchant ship Poknins Sokir, near the nation of Nort. The GNN organized a fleet of 20 destroyers, 6 light cruisers, and 1 carrier to hunt down the two rogue submarines.

on the 20th of Einmassour, the two submarines would refuel via an oil tanker near the Solairious Empire. the oiler i would then be scuttled by the submarines. after that the two turned south to flee from the perusing Gaurmay fleet. they would decide to sail towards Beyrat, just south of the Solairious Empire, to try and hide for some time. at the same time Beyrat was ready for the submarines should they show themselves.
