Asmeoran People's Commune

## **Overview**

The Asmeoran People's Commune is a Social Protectionist country in the region of Gaul and upper Iberia. The nation is home to the Asmor and the Aligothic people who are collectively referred to as Asmors despite different ethnicities. Due to this oversight tensions between the two ethnicities are high at points in time and both don't shy away from violence upon the other. The Aligothic people are in the minority population wise and are seen as such politically, usually seen as second class when compared to an Asmor citizen. Asmors tend to identify as religiously catholic and Aligoths are known to identify more protestant.

The nation currently has a social market system in place as per the ruling party's policies. Though previously a kingdom, the government was overthrown in a communistic revolution in the autumn of 1921 bringing to the forefront a pro-Aligothic Social Protectionist government, only further rising tensions between the two ethnic groups.

## **Historical Information**

### **Campanian Era (12 AD - 250 AD)**

In 12 AD during the Campanian expansion, the Campanians came upon a group of people they called the Asmeriti. A collection of tribes mainly found in south western Gaul. The Asmeriti were a nomadic people that had originated in modern day Eastern Deinstechia and had crossed over into Gaul from Gothic lands in the East. The Asmeriti through the contact they had with the Campanians began to further develop their culture, establishing a common culture with their fellow tribesmen, and founding an identity in the Asmeriti. They also picked up upon the Campanian religion of Christianity, which flooded their tribes quickly converting a majority of the Asmeriti to the religion making them one of the earliest adopters of the faith.

In 45 AD, the Campanians began to take heavy interest in the region of Gaul due to the many mercantile opportunities. With this interest came the concern of the Emperor that the costs of controlling the region through the might of the Campanian army would leave the empire at a disadvantage. The present Legatus came up with the solution of setting up a vassal state under the control of the Asmeriti people who would ultimately fall under the jurisdiction of the Campanian Emperor. From this vassal state the Asmeriti would produce record numbers of wine and other food produce for the Campanian Empire. This led the Campanians to a realization that Gaul would be the perfect region for their agricultural interests, leading to further developments of the Asmeriti vassal state now called **"Asmericum"**

In 112 AD, the Campanian Empire began to face problems as it's territory now covered most of the regions of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Facing "barbarians" from all regions, the Emperor turned to the vassal states of the empire in this time of military need. The vassal states of "Stechicum", "Brezlicum" and Asmericum answered his call, upon their response the vassals were granted full membership within the empire becoming full states and recognized as such. The vassal states would enter into the border conflicts and their people would fight in the Imperial army until it's eventual downfall.

In 250 AD, a rise of inflation and threat of invasion from the East hastened the retreat of the Campanian forces from the region of Gaul moving back towards their homelands to defend the empire. This migration left the now Asmeri alone outside of a cohort that was left behind to ensure security for the Empire's interests. With the departure of the Imperial forces, morale of the Asmeri people began drop as fear of invasion from the south and the lowering of the standards of the military left the people in a worse state. The once prosperous state now began to wither away as it's produce became nearly worthless from the rabid inflation would continue as the Campanians lost their eastern territories.

### **Birth of a nation (250 AD - 450 AD)**

In 258 AD, The cohort left behind began to take charge outside of the authority of the Campanian Emperor. They began to demand tribute and sought to break away from Imperial tradition. Establishing new laws and pushing for a more feudal based society. Eventually in 259 AD a revolt broke out, native Asmeri began to riot and attack the feudalists, burning down massive stores of food produce and destroying military infrastructure. From the mass of rioters rose a leader known as the Doux. The civil unrest would last for 2 years, resulting in 2 million casualties. The end result saw that the Asmeri would decide their own future as they saw to it that the feudalists were wiped out.

With the destruction brought by the unrest, a famine struck the fledging nation as it began take further steps in it's own sovereignty. The Doux would take charge in the region slowly working to organize the nation. Following Imperial tradition the Asmeri would found their own army and write their first laws into order. By 450 AD, The nation would take shape no longer known as the Asmeri but now the Asmers. The Doux would become the first King of the Asmer people and they would found the **Kingdom of the Asmers**

### **Rise of the Asmers (450 AD - 900 AD)**

With the kingdom now established the King began to push the Asmer people forward, leading to a heavy focus on expansion with military force. The Asmer military would advance forward across the region, uniting the region under a single banner. In 600 AD, The Asmers would come into contact with an actual kingdom known as Heragothia. Heragothia and the Kingdom would enter tense relations until finally the Asmers had enough of the petty squabbles between diplomats, finally declaring war on the Heragothians. The war would last 10 years until finally the Asmers would emerge victorious, conquering the region of Heragothia and taking in the remaining citizens.

In 700 AD, The Asmer kingdom would come into contact with the Stechnian crown. The former vassal state of "Stachicum" had become a mighty kingdom, stretching from the Eastern Gothic Lands into Eastern Gaul. This brought serious consequences to the diplomatic table as both kingdoms were quite large and a war would be highly costly. The Asmerians approached the Stechnians with a tribute to begin good relations. The Asmerians bought the Stechnians a pig's head, a cuisine in Asmerian culture, but interpreted as an insult to the Stechnian king.

### **The 50 Years War (900 AD - 950 AD)**

900 AD would mark the start of the **50 Years War** between **the Stechnian Kingdom and the Asmer Kingdom.** The war would see destruction across both kingdoms as the armies would clash, 5 million people would lose their lives in the war.

## **International Relations**

**Falangist State of Almeria**

Status: **Uneasy**

Asmeora being a communist nation brings it at odds with it's neighbors of differing ideals, though the government of Asmeora seeks to ease tensions with it's neighbors, as the nation is primarily focused on it's neighbor the east in Deinstechia. Asmeora's relations with Almeria have been tense though Asmeora does see it's neighor as a fellow follower socialist ideals, the Asmeorans do understand that the Almerians likely do not see it the same and have been content to leave the borders between the two nations fairly guarded.

Imperial Confederation Of Deinstechia

Status: **Sworn Rivals**

One of the longest rivalries in Europe, Deinstechia and Asmeora have had a historical rivalry throughout the ages, stemming from their neighboring borders to disagreements on religion and general politics. These tensions have led to the nations having extremely tense relations even into the present day. These tensions have only rose once Asmeora had it's communist revolution in 1921. The most recent scuffle between the two nations led to the creation of a DMZ between the nations as a way to prevent further bloodshed.

**Soviet Socialist Republic of Khornalovinsk**

Status: **Allies**

Although half way across the continent, The Khornalovian people are the closest allies of the Asmeoran people. United together through the world as fellow communists, the Asmeorans view the Khornalovians as their brothers in arms and are willing to die alongside them if necessary, for their ideals and security.

Though historically long distance rivals, the Asmeorans and Khornalovians consider each other settled from the past and focus upon what lies ahead for their respective nations.

**The Republic Of Väusland**

Status: **Neutral**

Asmeora has a storied history with Väusland especially following it's revolution. The Asmeorans see the Väuslandic people not as rivals or friends but feel more neutral towards it's northern neighbor.. Asmeorans are openly critical of the nation's system and wish to avoid heavy trade as the Asmeoran committees fear Väuslandic corporations manipulating deals and twisting relations further.

* By extension, Asmeora has severe animosity towards the Väuslandic based **Holy Settish Order of the Reformed Church** due to their leanings towards Fascist ideals and extremist religious views.

**The Holy Scovijan State**

Status: **Neutral**

Relating to the Scovijans, Asmeora has little care for their religous squabbles but does find their hatred for the catholic church intriguing, due to their rhetoric of anti-communism and heavy religious ideals a furthering of ties between the two nations is **HIGHLY** unlikely.
