Social Democrats of Kurvack

The **Social Democrats of Kurvack** are a left leaning political party in Kurvack and a member of the United Republican Alliance of Kurvack. They were formed by Okelpo Elfiron after the strong leader Sheplov died of a stroke, initiating the dissolution of the Kurvacki United Independence League.

When URAK was formed, the SDK was one of the biggest non-Liamist parties in the country, and thus it was able to push its leader- Okelpo Elfiron- as the URAK Prime Minister candidate.
Quesi

Cultural Flag for the Quesi Region and The Quesi People

Map of major locations in the Quesi Region

The **Quesi** region of Jabeyrack was the territory possessed by Jabeyrack on the Western Coast of the Laron River. Due to its seperation from the mainland, and its majority forested land area, the Quesi People were very culturally distinct from the Jabeyracki and the Ucklivians of the Eastern Coast. However, their shared history as regions of the First Kingdom of Polmaria and their history with democracy in the form of the Council of Six led to the region jointly declaring independence from Polmaria with Jabeyrack, and a Quesi politician- Aivun Farlion, representing the Quendil Miner's Union- was even a member of the Interim Council of Jabeyrack.

The Quesi People have been fairly loyal to Jabeyrack for most of the nation's history, with Quesi Seperatism peaking under the administration of the First Grand Alliance. Kayeros, the Councilman of Defense for the Grand Alliance, was notoriously bad at managing the military, and Quesi militants were able to gain a lot of power in rural Quesi and even the city of Quendil.

The Quesi region sends 8 MPs to the Jabeyracki Margov- four from Quendil and Verack, one from Nebarack, Port Monroe and Port Valos each and one large district- "Quesi Rural"- representing the forested and sparsely populated hinterland of the Quesi cities.

## History

### Polmarian Era (1800s)

By the early 1800s, Polmarian settlers- mostly from Jabeyrack- had arrived in the Quesi Region, founding the city of Verack to replace the local Quendil as the administrative capital of the region. Early Polmarian rule saw suppression of local red skinned Quesi politicians, with blue Polmarians from the Eastern Bank of the Laron River being given undue amounts of power and representation in the area.

Organisations like the Quendil Miner's Union had formed by the 1880s to combat the Polmarian imperialists and campaign for self governance. Originally the Quesi Independence movement was headed by Liamist Priests, but they soon fell out of power due to the relatively low Liamist population in Quesi. Soon, politicians like Aivun Farlion emerged as the heads of the Quendil Miner's Union, and their violent rebellions replaced the peaceful protests of the Liamists.

The QMU and Quesi People as a whole sabotaged Polmaria's invasion of the Ionian Rebel Alliance, ambushing supply convoys, killing officers and blockading routes. Despite this, weak resistance by the Ionians led to Polmaria's victory, and the Quesi region experienced an influx of Ionian refugees from the South.
Republic of Vermelho

1928

The **Republic of Vermelho** was a quasi-state that controlled parts of eastern Kokinos in 1928, following the overthrow of Novo Gavia

In the late stage of the Novo Gavian Bush War in 1928, in a last ditch attempt to gain support from the populace for the Red Rebel Alliance against Socialist forces, Marco Spyros, the leader of the Red Rebels, launched a coup overthrowing Novo Gavia, declaring the Republic of Vermelho and expelling all Lespians from the country. However, this only left behind a power vacuum that allowed socialist forces to quickly sweep through the remaining territory held by non-socialist forces, and within a month Vermelho was forced to evacuate to the islands of Hesota and Vamosa, ending the Novo Gavian Bush War

The current regime in Port-Vamosa is still officially called the Republic of Vermelho, and still claims to be the legitimate government of all Kokinos and Crimpor
Balthasar Sorrel

**Balthasar Sorrel**, who briefly reigned as **Balthasar I**, was an O'Leary noble who served as the Head of Clan Sorrel, last independent Lord of Heliogatenberg, and the self-professed "Trade Baron" of Esket. He was a major figure of the O'Leary Unification War, and later among the most influential members of the College of Clans.
Provincial Federation of Marinta

Flag of the Provincial Federation of Marinta

> Salve o Ditador! There is nothing wrong in Glorious Marinta! Marinta prospers and blossoms under our everlasting watch! Our people love us! Our enemies have been trampled by our glorious military! Our everlasting Dictator and his most trusted officials shall last ten thousand years!
>
> Marintese Propoganda

The **Provincial Federation of Marinta (*Federação Provincial de Marinta*)** is a former colony of the Kingdom of Lesovia in the continent of Merelaux. A large federation made up of numerous ethnicities and cultures, Marinta is united behind a fascist central government and subject to the whims of the Marintese Military Junta. For a time after its independence, Marinta was a democratic state with freedom of speech and a growing economy, but after the Junta seized control, the nation has declined in all metrics.

As of 1955, Marinta remains in a sorry state. The Dictator, or *El Presidente*, Jose Marintas and the Marintese Junta squander the nation's resources on expansionism, a strong military and excessive spending to fuel their lavish lifestyles with little regard for the people of Marinta. Rebel groups have begun to emerge, but with the country's strict gun control laws as well as the effective destruction of the black market, these groups have been crushed, with their poor training and lack of resources also contributing to their losses.

Marinta's rebellions have failed to coalesce into a singular movement. The Junta's effective subduing of the rebel movements and effective propoganda machine have kept a large part of the public docile and suppressed. Still, Marinta is constantly embroiled in political scandals and plagued with instability. Even their entrance into the Central Eredan Treaty Organisation has not helped improve their image.
Rygard War

*Not to be confused with the War of the End-Times.*

Belligerents|  Realm of the Stone KingLordship of Dullen* Csegrup

The **Rygard War** was a classical conflict in the Sea of Rygard that pitted various Litugian-speaking brigand nations against the Kingdom of Slovania. It ensured that neither party would completely dominate the archipelagos off the eastern coasts of Helinska.
Raemond Taverly

**Raemond Taverly** was an O'Leary diplomat, military administrator and historian. He was the youngest son of Jaeson Taverly, a veteran of the Battle of the Neck. A very young child during the War of Changing, Raemond grew up protected behind Clan Taverly's walls at Two Folds. He entered royal service at an early age and traveled Helinska, undertaking several missions to the Di'Aamascene Accords, Khilseith Ascendancy, Lemetiate of Lyrinae, Advisory Body (briefly), Kingdom of Eldcyning, and Sultanate of Kherfiyyah to legitimize the reign of the Augustine Throne from 1946 to 1953.

During that time, he wrote a journal of his childhood experiences during the War of Changing, which he intended to serve as an addendum to the *Chronicle of the Black Iron Heart* by Cyran Virwenys. Taverly met Virwenys on several occasions during his travels, with the long-lived elf mentoring him in the art of the historian.

In 1955, Taverly was assigned the prestigious task of establishing formal diplomatic relations between the Union of O'Lear and the Federal Kingdom of Polmaria. He met personally with Queen Elaina of Polmaria for this purpose.
Sheplov

Sheplov in 1930

**Sheplov** was a Kurvacki soldier and anti-Karostainian politician, who wished to liberate the region from Karostainian rule and rejoin the Holy Empire of Polmaria. In 1907, he founded the Kurvacki United Independence League in Koveron to organise resistance against the Karostainians.

In 1929, Karostain lost its colony and the KUIL was backed by Jabeyrack and was able to gain control of all of Kurvack. At the behest of Sheplov, Zofia Eretrusea Calano was appointed the Baroness (later Countess) of Kurvack, holding nominal powers but lending some legitamacy and prestige to the new nation.

The Kurvacki United Independence League won the 1929 elections with ease, taking 83/90 seats to the Kurvacki Parliament.
Prince Corvus of the Laron

 Duchy of Cislaronia (1333-37)
 Principality of Polgan (1337-72)
 Left-bank Laron rebels (1372-85)

### Species

Human

**Corvus of the Laron** was a Laronian-Polganian noble, army officer, and magistrate. He first came to prominence in the early years of Polganian reign in the left-bank Laron territories, when Michael Calano still reigned. Corvus rose through the ranks of the army and used his influence to support Michael's reign and tolerance for Laronian customs. However, when Michael died and his deeply conservative son Philip Calano ascended to the throne, most toleration for the ancient traditions of the Laronian people were thrown out the window. In 1373, Corvus was elected leader of a coalition of Laronian nobility and peasants in a rebellion against the Calano dynasty, styling himself **Prince Corvus of the Laron**, with the regnal name of **Corvus I**. He was also nicknamed **Corvus the Sunbird**, after the national symbol of Laronia.

His Michaelist uprising against the Calanos was considered the first act of a truly independent Laronia, and for this, Corvus was revered by the modern Republic of Laronia. The city of Corvus Iyuba, as well as the 1st Corvus Armored Brigade, were named after him. He "symbolized all that was brave and independent about the Laronian people" and was commemorated as a national hero of the Republic of Laronia.

His rebellion was eventually crushed in 1385 by troops of the High Duchy of Camaria. Incidentally, this was the first major act of cooperation between Polgan and Camaria, which started the long sequence of events that formed Polmaria.

## References

1. ↑ After Michael Calano crossed the Laron and occupied the Duchy of Cislaronia, effectivelly annexing it into the Principality of Polgan, he took the ceremonial title of "Prince of the Laron", which Corvus claimed for himself after disputing Philip Calano's legitimacy.
Redouins

**Redouins** were an ethnic group in the lands formerly belonging to the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah and later belonging to the Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic. Originally, they were the dominant inhabitants of the desert stretching from Ostahim to the Agranid Lake, this dominance was rapidly brought down as Kherfiyyan colonists flocked to the area, displacing the locals and becoming the dominant group in the region. Traditional Redouin society was made of various regional semi-nomadic clans who would herd livestock in rural areas

## Redouins in the K.W.R.

Redouins were integral to the creation of the Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic, and many Redouin militias supported the KWR. Unfortunately, many early Leaders of the KWR (most notably Mohammed Al Pasha) failed to recognize these contributions and even passed bills limiting Redouin rights. In the end, a scandal involving suppression of Redouins caused the resignation of Al Pasha, and indirectly lead to the KWR Civil War, which at the start of the war was seen by some as an ethnic conflict between the Kherfiyyan Mosul and Redouin Kalwana.

   Redouin liberties did rise slightly under Abdul Gazim Nassau, Al Pasha's successor, but Nassau's short reign and shaky support lead to very limited progress.

After Nassau's assassination and the beginning of the KWR Civil War, one of the three main candidate's for the next Head Councilman and the leader of the Kirlan capital region was Rasheed Kalwana, a Redouin tribal leader who was backed by the Socialist Republic of Kokinos. In the end, Kalwana ended up controlling only Kirlan in the form of East Kherfiyyah, while the rest of the KWR was controlled by Abanau Mosul Alwind, who was a Kherfiyyan colonist, but also a supporter of equal Redouin rights. Under Mosul's rule, Redouin representation in the Worker's Congress went rapidly uphill.

In Kirlan, the regime under Rasheed Kalwana had grown increasingly corrupt and nepotistic, where Kalwana would give important positions and benefits to Redouins of his clan and other "allied" clans. This led to his downfall in 1930, where he was assassinated and replaced by the Kherfiyyan Botros Qadir, who would purge many Redouin tribal leaders associated with Rasheed Kalwana from the Worker's Congress
Republic of Eirstad

* Flag
* President
* Chancellor

The **Republic of Eirstad** is a medium sized nation in the continent of Eredan which borders the Central Eredanese Federation to the north and the Interstellar Cooperation Organization's Republic of Aetòsa to the south. The country was founded in 2040 as the direct successor to the Fulcrum Republic of Eirstad, encompassing the same territory but with a different constitution.

The Republic was formed following the 2040 Eirsten Coup, during which the Eirstad Socialist Party's government- headed by President Sebastian Eirent- was overthrown by a popular military coup headed by General Phillip Toft. The ESP- which had held power throughout the existence of the Fulcrum Republic of Eirstad- had slowly turned the country into a liberal democracy and had begun implimenting green policies as well as opening diplomatic channels with the Central Eredanese Federation. While beneficial in the long term, these policies killed many jobs in the short term, creating the perfect environment for the military to seize power.

Currently, Eirstad's President is the independent politician and former general Gustav Hartling, who succeeded Jakob Kruse of the Traditionalist Party in 2181. The country's Chancellor is currently Niels Schmidt of the Alliance, who assumed the post after the dismissal of the Progressive Party government during the 2195 Eirstad Government Scandal, replacing the Traditionalist Anker Gudberg who was the interrim Chancellor.
The Flight of the Death Guard

***Flight of the Death Guard*** is a 1653 illustration of the Battle of Wauberg during the War of the Astavaran Succession. In that war, the Astavaran Death Guard almost exclusively sided with Matthijs I. They played a pivotal role in Matthijs's early successes. In late 1649, the Death Guard led an army of Matthijs supporters against forces loyal to antiking Artemio I on the fields outside Wauberg. Matthijs's army was broken by the timely arrival of Ionian troops on the field, sending the Death Guard into a hasty, bloody, and disorganized retreat.

The painting depicts the broken ornamentation of a fallen Death Guard in the foreground, while his mounted compatriots attempt to flee in the background. The Death Guard, long a symbol of Astavaran military prowess, never recovered from their defeat in this battle.

*The* *Flight of the Death Guard* is a lurid allegory for the fall of Astavaran traditionalism and triumph of the Artemsie dynasty. The government of King Artemio I attempted to ban distribution of the illustration but failed. The true identity of the illustrator was never discovered.

Quendil Miner's Union

The **Quendil Miner's Union** was a Quesi nationalist and anti-Polmarian organisation in the Quesi region of Jabeyrack. It was led by Aivun Farlion and played a major role in helping gain Jabeyracki independence and helped craft Jabeyrack's system of governance and prevented Fulcrum of Jabeyrack leaders like Sebastian Monroe from making the country a one-party state.
Republic of Aazarkan

>
> Rallying cry of the Law and Order Party during the 1997 Aazarkani Coup

The **Republic of Aazarkan** is a mid-sized nation in central Merelaux which borders Kariq, the Interstellar Cooperation Organization, Buyinko Libertariate, the Federal Republic of Aladora and the Triumvirate. It was officially formed in 2056 when Prime Minister Anwar Al-Sadiq abolished the Khedivate, however it existen in practice since the 1990s when the military formed the Law and Order Party and staged a coup following the failed 1995 Invasion of Kariq, reducing the Khediv to a figurehead and resting power in the junta and the junta controlled Council of Aazarkan.

The republic has followed isolationist policies for its entire existence, leaving it completely cut off from most world trade. Additionally, sour relations with most of its neighbours have left it isolated on a world stage. With its oil reserves empty and the Aazarkan canal no longer the economic lifeline it used to be, Aazarkan has slowly begun to open up to the rest of the world under Prime Minister Nadheer Al-Aziz, even allowing an ICO mission to survey the 2195 elections in the country.
President of Ionia

The **President of Ionia** is the directly elected head of the executive branch of the government of the Federal Republic of Ionia. When the country was first formed in 1972, it was a parliamentry democracy, with the President having little power and the Chancellor of Ionia being the 'real' leader of the country. However, as time went on, successive Ionian Democratic Party Presidents- tired of having all their descisions crippled by the Labour Party controlled Chamber of Councillors- began to expand the power of the position, often with military force, until the President and Chamber of Councillors became roughly equal in power.
Quendil

**Quendil** is a landlocked city in the Quesi region of Jabeyrack and acts as the cultural capital for the same. Quendil has been a hub for mining in Jabeyrack, and produces much of the countries natural resources such as stone, timber, iron etc. Due to its strong Quesi identity, Quendil maintains a degree of seperation from the rest of Jabeyrack and rarely gets involved in mainland politics.

Rygard Pact

The **Rygard Pact** was a military alliance of states – five Helinskan, one Kalshei'i, with one partner state in Merelaux – founded in 1956. Legally formed by the First Conference of Rygard in Courolojord, its stated purpose was to provide a layer of security, especially maritime security, to the states of Helinska, but its implicit purpose was to serve as a geopoltical counterweight to the Fulcrum. It takes its name from the Litugian word for the sea connecting Helinska and Merelaux.

## History

The rapid expansion of the Fulcrum in the 1950s, dominated by Polmaria, Airolia, and the Socialist Republic of John, estranged multiple nations throughout Yulea, especially in Helinska; the Affiliated Freylan Commonwealth had joined the Fulcrum but was dissatisfied by the loss of their Laron Territories as a *quid pro quo* for joining; the Taverly Affair, in which Polmaria threatened to annex the County of Katavia from O'Lear, drastically worsened relations between the two countries; the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah was territorially threatened by the Fulcrum-sponsored Upper Basin War of 1954-55; and most significantly, the Fulcrum invasion of Ospalar had compelled the Republic of Ospalar to aggressively seek out allies in the summer of 1955.

These four states formed the central core of the Pact, though the Republic of Balvala and Zenshan also joined due to their close economic and security relationships with Freylan and Ospalar, respectively. Rasvetla Slobia was a "partner" or "observer" state.

## Overview

### Collective defense

In accordance with the First Conference of Rygard, an attack upon one member of the Rygard Pact was treated as an attack upon them all.

### Theater command

The **Supreme Allied Commander – Helinska** was responsible for military operations in Helinska. This position was filled by Jeziel a Ulmar. A counterpart for Kalshei existed as well.

### Rygard Political Office (RPO)

The Rygard Political Office was a covert military intelligence bureau that ostensibly coordinated with political parties throughout Helinska; however, it also secretly provided support to the Gresian and Valeronian resistance movements. It was led by Tomard Reese, a military officer from the Affiliated Freylan Commonwealth.
Sentopolis

Sentopolis was a city in Eastern Kokinos, and the capital of the Sentopolis District. The city's close proximity to Floropolis, as well as being the birthplace of the Kokinan Socialist Worker's Party and many of its founding members, made it a "secondary capital" of Kokinos

*"With a population of 320 thousand, the city of Sentopolis is a large settlement surrounded by dense forests and mountains, making it easier to defend compared to Floropolis. Some have proposed to make Sentopolis the new capital instead of Floropolis, but due to the "city" being a bunch of wood huts with dirt roads, it is not an appealing place"*

-*Guide to Kokinos, 1928*

In 1932, the Kokinan government began building a series of factories in Sentopolis in its new industrialization project, leading to the city becoming a manufacturing hub filled with smog. Up to 70% of consumer goods made in Kokinos are manufactured in Sentopolitan factories.
Prime Ministers of Staptonsburg

The **Prime Minister** of the Republic of Staptonsburg is the head of the Stapton government and is indirectly elected by the Stapton people through the Stapton Chamber of Representatives. The position was established in 1942, following the formation of the Republic after the 1942 Volaysian Collapse.

Quirin Luitger Bach

## Quirin Bach

Bach in 1953

Quirin Luitger Bach (born September 14, 1897) was an Airolian born Kokinan writer and politician who served as Minister of Information since 1955, and was one of the few non-Kokinan members of the Kokinan Socialist Worker's Party. By 1955, Bach was the highest ranking non-Kokinan KSWP member and government official in Kokinos.

Born in Aquilon to a working class Airolian colonist couple, Bach and his family were left behind on Helinska after the Cataclysm. They followed a group of Airolian Kokinans across the Laron River to Nicolopolis, and then to Bechosa. After Novo Gavia began its Lespian supremacist rule over eastern Kokinos in 1915, Bach, who was against the regime, chose to go to Sentopolis on his own to meet up with the Sentopolis Militias led by Markos Siantos, the precursor to the KSWP. He joined and followed the militia on their way to Retgard and then guerilla warfare against Novo Gavia, all the while learning Kokinan and writing books and memoirs detailing the ideology of the KSWP, his experiences with them, and the sheer brutality of the Novo Gavian regime. His works were published and sold in Di'Aam. After the establishment of the SRK in 1927, Bach was given Kokinan citizenship and invited to the KSWP. The 1920s were a time where the KSWP was largely xenophobic and distrustful of foreigners, especially Blues, though Bach was an exception who had the respect of Markos Siantos and Stefanos Svolos, the leading figures of the KSWP at the time

An outspoken supporter of Stefanos Svolos, Bach was appointed the important position of Minister of Information by Chairman Stavros Siantos both to appease the reformist side, as well as improving Kokinos' image to the international community. His experience and expertise in presenting and promoting the KSWP to the world was also a reason for consideration
Rutter family

The **Rutter family** was a notorious, powerful, and corrupt political family in West Astavara that threatened at times to overtake its elected State Council. They were deeply criticized for "weakening democracy in Astavara." Their actions were largely uncovered and prosecuted by Hubrecht op den Dries, who later became the President of West Astavara. Several members of the scandalous family were imprisoned or fined, and the remaining members lost much of their credibility.
Theleuria

**Theleuria** was a kingdom in modern-day Kokinos, described in 14th century Airolian records as being located "between the Cremdel and Iordanou rivers". The kingdom is described as being particularly warlike, and is believed to have controlled much of the modern-day Cremdel Bay at its height. It is said to have "ceased to exist" roughly a century before the Airolian conquest of Di'Aam

Few archaeological evidence of the Theleurians exist. In 2033, a weathered stone monument with writing inscribed was discovered on Hesota Island. The writing was in a now-extinct, indecipherable language, and was barely legible due to centuries of erosion. Some believe that the monument may have been erected by the Theleurians, but the Kokinan government removed the entire monument a few weeks after its discovery due to concerns by locals over people rushing to see the monument and disrupting their way of life. The whereabouts of the monument have been unknown ever since, and no findings have been published

It is not known if the Theleurians were a unified culture/linguistic/ethnic group and identity, or just the name of a kingdom or tribe that ruled over the land
Flavio Lorenzo

Lorenzo in 1953

Flavio Gabriel Lorenzo (born September 19, 1910) was the sixth Finance Minister of the Second Republic of Lesovia and the second son of Lesovian corporate oligarch Jacinto Lorenzo. He gained his post through the economic influence of his family's company in Lesovia. Due to his corporate background, Lorenzo's corporatocractic economic policies led to Lesovia's economy significantly improving, and the manufacturing sector becoming more profitable, at the expense of the quality of life and work environment of the working class.
Sedrian Senate

Makeup of the Sedrian Senate as of 1955

The **Sedrian Senate** is the Upper House of the Parliament of the Republic of Sedry, with the Sedrian National Assembly being the lower house. The 27 Senators are chosen by a variety of methods. 6 Senators are chosen by the Church of the First Son, essentially reserving these seats for the Sedry Christian League. 7 Seats are elected by local city councils from across Sedry, and are meant to act as representatives for local issues on a national level. The remaining 14 seats are elected by Sedrian Citizens who have received a good education.

As the Senate is the upper house of the Sedrian Parliament, and has a lesser population-wide mandate than the Sedrian National Assembly, it holds far less power than the Assembly. The Senate does vote on laws, but as the Senators are outnumbered by the Parliamentarians in the Assembly, the will of the Assembly usually prevails. The Senate does have one unique power over the National Assembly; in case the Prime Minister has been found to violate a Sedrian law or to have acted not in accordance with the Constitution, yet they enjoy a majority in the National Assembly, the Senate can begin an impeachment motion against the Prime Minister.
Polmarian-ICO System

The **Polmarian-ICO System** was a security framework created by the Treaty of Courienta at the conclusion of the War of the End-Times. It made the Second Republic of Polmaria subject to the authority of the International Cooperation Organization in various ways. Under this system, the Fulcrumite Party of Polmaria was officially disbanded, but was almost immediately succeeded by the Social Democratic Party of Polmaria in both membership and policy.

## Terms

* The Second Republic of Polmaria was prohibited from entering a multinational military alliance (e.g. the Fulcrum) without the permission of the ICO Security Council.
* The Second Republic of Polmaria was initially required to abandon its support for Clan Aastersen's claim on the O'Leary throne, but this clause was later removed by request of the O'Leary government itself, following the Aastersen-Baxter Compromise of 1961.
* The Armed Forces of the Republic of Polmaria were limited by 25 percent.
* Fulcrumite Socialist influence (e.g. parties, organizations, unions) within Polmaria was to be disbanded or otherwise discouraged.

Laronian Security Forces (2114–present)

## History

### Founded

1972

The **Republic of Laronia** was a sovereign state situated on the left bank of the Laron Channel. It was established by the Imperial Conference of 1972, which divided the Old Kanorian Empire of Osea Zana and granted independence to the Laron Province.
Emanuele Thouden

Emanuele Thouden in 1955

**Emanuele Thouden** is a Kanorian politician from the United Democrats of Kanoria and is the leader of the Civil Front in the Laron Province of Greater Kanoria. He lead the Civil Front (Now the Imperial Front) in the 1955 elections to the Laron Provincial Assembly alongside Roberto Hotanser of the Heartland Prosperity Party. However, him and Hotanser were viewed as uncharismatic, while an extensive campaign and support from former Redshirts led to the Kanorian People's Party led by Emily Fisher winning 44/70 seats, leaving the UDK at just 17 and the HPP at a measly 9 Administrators from the region.
Shriners

The **Shriners** were an elvish sect native to the island of Esket, in the northwestern reaches of the Union of O'Lear. They are venerated as "stewards of the Spirits Graol" and were exempt from military conscription. The Shriner community maintained the peace between Clan Sorrel and the Graolist faith on Esket.
Pasquale Pescado

**Pasquale Pescado** was the 37th President of Fish Island. He was elected in 2194, but had been a well-known force in local politics since 2180. He led the Citizens' Movement - Bounty, a centrist organization with ties to the ICO. To achieve a majority in the Parliament of Fish Island, his government also consisted of several center-right, corporatist parties that were more sympathetic to BISDA.

Prior to his election, he was a noted lawyer who argued several cases before the Yulean Court. He met several lifelong political allies, acquaintances, friends, and even his wife during this time in his life.

During the Kanorian Crisis of 2195, Fish Island came under threat by the Kanorian Empire. Pescado invited ICO troops to defend his country, causing the collapse of his parliamentary coalition and his removal from office. ICO political pressure led to his reinstatement and the stationing of troops in Fish Island. He was derisively known by the opposition as "Pescado dar Marionette" (*Pescado the Puppet*) for this incident.
State Use of Offensive Mass Media

The **state use of offensive mass media** to further the goals of states has changed the nature of international politics in the 22nd century. The growth of global interconnectedness beginning as far back as 1900's, growing through technological advancements such as Ospalar's AMPRNET which later was revisited after the War of the End-Times by the surviving powers and developed into the internet, had grown into unprecedented levels, forming the most interconnected global society in history. This interconnectedness has allowed for the mass dissemination of media, which may contain explicit or implicit political messages which has been used by various state actors to achieve various goals.

### List of State Sponsored Use of Mass Media

#### Unity (State Affiliated Social Media Platform)

The Unity social media platform which is funded, moderated, and run by the ICO has been alleged to be a tool to monitor and manipulate the citizens of the ICO. The belief that Unity is a tool of the ICO has led to the creation of various competing social media platforms with privacy as a core selling point. ConCur served as the largest of these prior to the Kanorian Crisis, which led to an ICO-spearheaded ban, sanction, and seizure by international security forces. Now, the most popular of these is the social media app Cxyszysc, which has over 200 million downloads.

#### Operation Verdant Blade

During Operation Verdant Blade, the ICO invested many resources into denouncing or otherwise debasing unhelpful politicians, companies, and other influential figures who refused to adopt climate regulations. CEOs, chairmen, and other key personnel of high pollution companies, as well as important military staff when necessary where forced to resign in part due the ICO's use of mass media.

#### Selton (Alleged)

Some have alleged that state sponsored mass media was responsible in whole or in part for the growth of Selton separatism and the resulting Ospalan Civil War. Proponents of this theory have pointed out that separatism was not present in Selton for most of its history in Ospalar but rather a recent phenomenon coinciding with the growth of the internet. Proponents of this theory have blamed various actors for Selton separatism. Polmaria has by proponents been blamed for spreading Selton Nationalist propaganda to form a Polmarian friendly Selton State, while others blame the ICO for using mass media to weaken the Ospalan state to make the region easier to govern. This theory is believed by 76% of Ospalans, and is the most popular in Lonala, where 88% of the population believe in this theory. Outside of Ospalar, this theory is controversial and has no consensus.
Roberto Hotanser

Roberto Hotanser in 1955

**Roberto Hotanser** is a Kanorian politician from the Heartland Prosperity Party and the deputy leader of the Heartland Prosperity Party in the Laron Province. He helped Emanuele Thouden lead the Civil Front in the 1955 elections to the Laron Provincial Assembly. However, him and Thouden were viewed as uncharismatic, while an extensive campaign and support from former Redshirts led to the Kanorian People's Party led by Emily Fisher winning 44/70 seats, leaving the UDK at just 17 and the HPP at a measly 9 Administrators from the region.

Republic of Gresia

The former Republic of Sorons, now the **Republic** **of** **Gresia**, was a war torn nation that had a devastating civil war from 1915 to 1918 which brought the nation to utter chaos. It's only now that the republic has been reunified under the mighty Gresians.

The young ruler Gresian II quickly took matters into his own hands in fixing the ravaged nation. He first took to reshaping the military structure, the farming industry, and the economy. After 10 months of fixing the nation, Gresia became strong once more.

Gresia has 7 states. They are: Daminian, Koxor, a land of drunks, Motezor, Ramseloi, Granlanders, the poorest state, and Stoland. These are the states of Gresia.

Gresia by 1954 had been crushed in a war against the Socialist Republic of John. After the collaspe of the Northern Coalition and the fall of Valeron. The Gresians were soon succeeded by the Fulcrum Republic of Motezor, a Fulcrumite-aligned rump state up the whims of their Johninian handlers. Gresian resistance however was heavy, and organizations immediately began taking up arms against Fulcrumite occupation following conventional capitulation.
Rostorkalis Incident

The **Rostorkalis Incident** (known to Ospalan nationalists as the **Rostorkalis Massacre**) was an armed confrontation in the Ospalan city of Rostorkalis on March 2nd, 1962, whereupon 5 ICO peacekeepers from Airolia and O'Lear fired upon a crowd of 34 unarmed Ospalan civilians following physical assault on the peacekeepers. 4 civilians died and 9 were injured during the brief firefight, with an additional 3 of the injured dying from their wounds in the following week. The peacekeepers responsible were found guilty of manslaughter by the ICO International Court and dismissed from their respective militaries, though neither Airolia nor O'Lear pursued further legal action against them following the international tribunal.

The shooting was prompted by an attempted intervention of mob lynchings of ethnic Johninian settlers from the Johninian occupation of Ospalar, which turned into a brawl between international peacekeepers and Ospalan citizens after the armed intervention. While hundreds of incidents in the same vein occurred during international governance of Ospalar, none garnered the same media attention as the Rostorkalis Incident.

Its legacy remains rather controversial, with the ICO softly curtailing (not banning) coverage of the event and nationalist groups/parties latching onto it. Several Ospalan nationalists charged with large-scale acts of domestic terrorism attributed the ICO intervention at Rostorkalis as a motivation for their actions.

Republic of Kurisal

The **Republic of Kurisal** *(1929-1938)* was a small, briefly lived city-state in the Holy Empire of Polmaria, being formed in 1929 following the fall of Karostain in the Kurvack-Kalaroos region in 1929 and the subsequent annexation of Kurvack by Polmaria. The Republic initially only controlled the eastern half of the city of Kurisal, with the western half- along with western Kurvack as a whole- being controlled by the Dhernish vassals of West Kurisal and the Qaricel Clan Council, although these would soon be ceded to Polmarian Kurvack and Kurisal within a few months.

Kurisal was established as an independent state due to its large proportion of non-Kurvacki peoples at the request of Ishvar, who had formed a splinter group of the Kurvacki United Independence League- the Kurisal United Party- just months prior. The city's independence was an early point of contention within Polmaria, with Kurvacki leaders demanding that Kurisal- the region's most prized city- be given to them. This conflict was made worse following the death of Kurvacki Prime Minister Sheplov, whose personal friendship with Kurisal's First Councilman Ishvar had kept tensions at bay.

In 1938, Kurisal's First Councilman Ishvar died, being replaced by the far less popular technocrat Mavant Koveron. With Ishvar gone, the Kurisal United Party's support declined as the new Liamist People's Party looked poised to win the elections under Yemron IV. Seeing an opportunity, Kurvack quickly began preparing its military on the orders of Home Minister Stefan Kuris, despite initial opposition from Prime Minister Okelpo Elfiron. Kurvacki reserves under Shelrin Kalar stormed the city, arresting Yemron IV and Olros Vandenya for plotting an 'extremist takeover' and annexing the Republic of Kurisal into Kurvack.
Southern Provincial Assembly

Makeup of the Southern Assembly as of 1955

The **Southern Provincial Assembly** is the unicameral provincial legislature of the Southern Province of the Kanorian Empire. It was formed in early 1955, shortly after the Kokinan-backed People's Democratic Republic of Kanoria reluctantly agreed to join the Kanorian Empire (at the time known as Greater Kanoria).

The Provincial Assembly is elected once every 5 years, and is responsible for the finances, police forces, local officials and local governance of the province, with foreign affairs, defense and some other elements being handled by the Central Kanorian Government and the national legislature i.e. the Chamber of Councillors.

The first elections to the assembly were held in February 1955, and looked to be a tough race between the Kanorian People's Party nominee for the Governor Karlson Bauer and the Civil Front nominee Paul Gruber. During the leadup to the elections, an extremist communist remnant in the area known as the Crimson Front attacked and injured Paul Gruber, and despite the KPP condemning the attacks, there was a surge of anti-left wing sentiment. Following the attacks, the Civil Front asked Prime Minister Marco Velsin- himself a Civil Front politician- to hold early elections due to their candidate's inability to campaign. Velsin obliged, and although this decision was fair on the surface, the attack had hugely dented the KPP's popularity, and holding early elections ended up crippling them, leading to a narrow Civil Front victory.
Quesi Progressive Party

The **Quesi Progressive Party** was a political party from the Quesi region of Jabeyrack. It was founded after its predecessor- the Quesi People's Party- was ousted from power in the 1922 Jabeyracki elections due to its unpopular role in the First Grand Alliance and the widespread suppression of the opposition and corruption from its leader Aivun Farlion.

After the humiliating electoral defeat of the Quesi People's Party in 1922, with not a single QPP member being elected to the Margov, Aivun Farlion- the former QPP Councilman of External Affairs for the First Grand Alliance, and then leader of the QPP- was unanimously ousted from his leadership of the party, largely due to the efforts of Vondel- a former judge who had gained a large following from the more traditional Quesi populace of Quendil, alongside Eck Dremand- a war hero who had recently joined and stolen a lot of Farlion's supporters from Verack. Aivun Farlion was ousted from power, and Vondel became the new leader of the party.

A few years later, in 1923, when Bulrav was elected, several members of the QPP were arrested for corruption during the Grand Alliance government. In order to save face, Vondel rebranded the party to the "Quesi Progressive Party", removing many Farlion loyalists and old guard members from the party.
Staptonsburg (province)

**Staptonsburg** was a medium sized province in the Republic of Polmaria, having a population of 32 million and being one of the founding members of the Second Republic. It was directly preceded by the Republic of Staptonsburg and Noveaux Kolodeaux, and prior to that it was under the control of the Republic of Volaysia.

The Novo Gavian Bush War was a civil war in Novo Gavia between the Novo Gavian government and red Kokinan rebels fighting against the regime's racial discrimination and systematic oppression of the majority population.

The first phase of the war was between Novo Gavia and various rebel groups known internationally as the "Red Rebel Alliance". The alliance was a loose coalition with no clear goal or motives other than their shared hatred towards the Lespian apartheid regime. The alliance soon fell apart as the largest faction within the coalition, the socialists, broke off and established the Socialist Republic of Kokinos, condemning the other Red Rebel factions as "counter-revolutionaries". The SRK then captured the Novo Gavian capital, New Granfel, renaming it to Floropolis and starting the second phase of the war.

In the second phase of the war, the remaining Red Rebels rallied under the warlord Marco Spyros, who along with the Liamists agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Novo Gavia to fight against the SRK. This move was unpopular among the populace, and the SRK quickly condemned them as "collaborators" and "traitors". The SRK gained occupied more land during the second phase, causing international concern and Jabeyrack to launch the First Intervention, which resulted in an SRK victory.

In the third phase of the war, Spyros launched a coup overthrowing Novo Gavia, establishing the Republic of Vermelho, and expelling all remaining Lespians from the region. Vermelho's hold on the mainland was short though, and in less than a year it was forced to retreat to the islands of Hesota and Vamosa, and the SRK claimed victory over the mainland. The Second Intervention happened at the same time, also resulting in an SRK victory.

People's Concurrence of John

The **SRJ Reunification War** was a conflict launched by the Treaty of Tradition in 1926 with the original goals of recapturing the Incorporated Territories from the Di'Aamascene Accords, subjugating the various post-Cataclysm splinter states, annexing the People's Concurrence of John, and re-establishing the Socialist Republic of John. However, this aggression also triggered a response from the Aquilon-Askalis-Jabeyrack Concordance and its allies, especially the Union of O'Lear, Republic of Ospalar, and Republic of Volaysia. The Free State of Katavia supported the Concordance side of the war until its civil war.

The **Second Revolution** was the first major conflict in the Republic of Cathei. It saw a coalition of revolutionaries opposing the pro-Kanikawa Yangxi Government in Xijing, which was led by Shi Zhenxiang. While the Revolution failed to overthrow Shi, it destabilized southern Cathei and shattered Xijing's rule over the region, contributing to future warlordism. The National League would reorganize in Southern Cathei and eventually build a stable, semi-unified government that would last until Kanikawa's invasion of Cathei a few decades later.
