Regional Map

The New Caligacuan Republic (Icelandic, Járnfuglalýðveldið) or Caligacua (Icelandic, Járnfugl) is a nation located in the Southernmost part of the Western Continent bordering Zoolandia and sitting directly above Anteminia. The capital Munroeson, named after the founder and rebellion leader prior to re-establishment, sits in the lower island region of New Caligacua. Of the 30 million+ population, 85% or more identify as not aligning to any particular reason, with the other 15% aligning to either Christanity or other popular religions. Due to its location and riches, New Caligacua is home to a large amount of refugees, rich aristocrats, billionaires and other individuals reigning from other nations. Records state New Caligacua, in its tourist community, to be possibly the most diverse nations on the planet.

The nation's GDP, settling at around $6.5 - $7 Trillion, is the second highest on the planet as of 2021, earned in large part from extreme amounts of goods exporting, mineral exporting, fruits, spices, colonisation and embassy work across the globe, alongside the three oil patches in use by New Caligacua.

New Caligacua is split largely into Political Constituencies, whereupon civilians may vote for which person they would prefer to lead their specific Constituency. The person voted in by the populous then gains a seat for their party in Parliament. A Constituency's candidate is in charge of the area's council, maintenance, police force, law and other civil duties under the Prime Minister and his/her cabinet of selected ministers.

## **History**

### **Middle Ages**

During the middle ages of New Caligacua, civilisation on the continent was largely based on families, kingdoms, wars and races. Specifically, the country was largely split into a collective of 7 kingdoms - Reinfell, Archus, Antem, Furis, Mo'nrou, Ecclesey and Bo'en.

* **Kingdom of Reinfell:** A kingdom of purely Avalonians, Reinfell resided in the Easternmost coasts of what is now Caligacua. The house held extreme prejudice and hostilities to those not in the house of Reinfell, and actively attacked those of other races for even being near their land.
* **Kingdom of Archus:** Reigning from the swamps of Southwest Caligacua, Archus were a kingdom of nobles and pacifist healers taking refuge in the swamps of the country after being forced out of their home by the Furis. Little is known about Archus due to their privacy, although it is rumoured that almost 95% of their civilians were that of Noobian travellers from elsewhere.
* **Kingdom of Antem:** The smaller of the seven kingdoms, Antem resided in the lower isles of Caligacua near present-day Anteminia. It is known that people residing in Antem's walls were likely large fish tradesmen.
* **Kingdom of Furis:** Somewhat more violent than Reinfell, Furis resided in the peak of the now Gulf of Tristonia. The ideology they held was similar to that of something rarely seen in the modern day: Seek, destroy, conquer. And that they did, pushing back and dissolving hundreds of kingdoms in their time.
* **Kingdom of Mo'nrou:** Sprouting back from the Munroe family tree, the Kingdom of Mo'nrou held a large settlement of land near the far South of Caligacua near the modern day town of Iche. It is known that the kingdom was one of the only living ones to protect themselves from Furis, especially as they were attacked several times more than other surrounding kingdoms. They are rumoured to have been known for valour, courage and bravery in battle.
* **Kingdom of Ecclesey:** Not much is known about this kingdom other than the fact they pioneered significant trade routed through the mid-west of Caligacua.
* **Kingdom of Bo'en:** A rare and foreign sight at the time, Bo'en was a kingdom of mostly furrian and fureens, native to the Northern mountain districts of Caligacua. Due to their reclusive and strange nature, the kingdom was quickly shunned to the bottom of the food chain, although remnants of their history are actively seen in what is now the border to Zoolandia.

Throughout the period of the Middle Ages, these kingdoms would actively go to war over race, creed, land or trade, never truly agreeing or allying for long periods of time, as was typical with kingdoms at the time.

### **Empire Growth + Imperialism**

Three of the larger kingdoms listed above, Furis, Reinfell and Mo'nrou, would find themselves actively fighting for dominance over borders and land across the nation. Specifically, the areas surrounding their kingdoms. Several battles were fought in an effort to stake a claim on the untouched land, and thus the following conclusions were drawn:

**Kingdom of Mo'nrou**: Southern peak of Caligacua.

**Kingdom of Reinfell:** Northeastern Caligacua and the main coastline.

**Kingdom of Furis:** Parts of the Gulf of Tristonia.

Other kingdoms were also permitted claims.

**Kingdom of Bo'en:** Reclusive ownership of the mountain region.

**Kingdom of Archus:** Absorbed by Furis.

**Kingdom of Ecclesay:** Absorbed by Bo'en.

**Kingdom of Antem:** Absorbed by Mo'nrou.

#### **The Furrian Purge of 1858**

In 1858, hostilities towards furrians peaked once more as land troubles continued. Specifically between the Kingdom of Bo'en, Kingdom of Furis and Kingdom of Reinfell.

The two kingdoms believed it necessary to rid the country of the plague that was " beast-people ", and so they tried. The war, known historically as " The Furrian Purge of 1858 ", is actively used as a point of reference to compare with the more recent Fureen purge of the 20th century.

In an effort to contain the Furrians from expanding outwards into the rest of Caligacua, Bo'en was quickly absorbed into Reinfell which now changed to the Kingdom of Telenovio, engulfing most of the mountains and East coast.

### **Modern Caligacua**

#### **The People's Democratic Republic of Caligacua**

As of the turn of the 1900s, and the industrial revolution, each kingdom sought it necessary to form into states rather than kingdoms. They were as follows.

**Kingdom of Mo'nrou = The People's Democratic Republic of Caligacua**

**The Kingdom of Telenovio = Telenovio/New Telenovio/West Telenovio + The People's Kingdom of Berwuna**

**The Kingdom of Furis = Lower Kangani**

Caligacua, the larger of the states, held most of the land present throughout the continent, including most if not all of the west coast, most if not all of the east coast, the southern coastline, and access to all active trade routes in and out of Caligacua.

Due to active conflict in the surrounding states over the division of Furrians once more, it was time Caligacua put it to and end. As of the early 1900s, it was declared that no more wars were to be fought over Furrians, and if a nation did not like them, they were to house them elsewhere.

#### **Royalty**

Until its reunification in the 2000s, Caligacua has always had a royal family in control of its politics and wares rather than a parliament, specifically the family of Munroe, Froune and Eccles. In the 1900s, the reigning family would be that of the Frounes.

The Royal Family had several critiisms over their time of reign, be it corruption or blatant lies. The list of monarchs is as follows.

**King Philip Froune I - 1850 - 1900**

**King Archibald Froune - 1900 - 1925**

**Queen Anne May Froune -** **1925 - 1954**

**King Philip Froune II - 1954 - 2003**

**Heir:**

**Princess Isabella Froune**

**Rise and Fall of the Non-Combat Zone**

As of the mid-late 1900s, the countries surrounding Caligacua, alongside it, signed a treaty with the few formed countries above and around it to form a non-combat zone around the continent, restricting all nations entering it from creating conflicts and battles within said waters as a method to preserve safe trade and refuge for all.

Ultimately, the NCZ created more issues than it solved, and was frequently violated by groups across the globe, and thus was dissolved in the late 1980s.

#### **The Western Unification**

At the turn of the century in 2000, the nations inside of Caligacua had been moving so fluently with one another, shared the same currency, and worked closely to a point where it was brought up in the continental summit that the nations combine into one larger nation, a unified state. The nations would still have ownership of their specific areas as constituencies under the crown, but would lose their title as official countries under the following premises:

**Western and New Telenovio -** End the civil war over Furrians and combine to form the states of Haj, Valehorse, Dirad, Lasser, Viridian, Kons and South Kons.

**People's Kingdom of Berwuna -** Transfer monarchy to Caligacua as noblesmen, form the states of Spasse, Usse, Westaites, Whitle, Northaites, Vexxon, Kellsby.

**Lower Kangani -** Despite their exclusive nature, they were to allow more non-noobians into their borders and form the states of Nihev, Teti, Ura, Rhull, Exetan and Tol.

#### *2003 -* **The Fall of Old Caligacua**

Possible one of the more notable events involving Caligacua was its death. During July 2003, Caligacua, still ripe and recovering from the merge with 4 other nations, was invaded by the growing nations of Boden and Tristonia.

The Royal Family, whom would have been in charge of the defense forces present, failed to represent Caligacua and thus the nation was collapsed inwards, with military forces fleeing to the South away from invading forces. The Royal Family, unlike those which had been forced to remain, fled out of the country, with the king rumoured to have taken refuge in The Seal Federation.

#### **Life Under Boden and Tristonia**

Life under Boden and Tristonia, especially for those living in the nations recently dissolved, was hell. Most of the poorer regions of Telenovio and Kangani were ultimately thrown back into extreme poverty under Tristonia, with a large majority of the government sticking to the coastlines and the Southernmost peak and border region completely ignored in terms of political benefits.

Boden, however, told a different story. Despite being a much richer and economically surpassed Tristonia, it held its own people rightly on a higher pedestal than those placed within Caligacua, and thus the area it owned was more of a breeding ground for Bodenians rather than a home for the others, and thus several hundred rebellions grew under their noses, most for fair lives, the others for a rollback and a replacement of Caligacua.

#### *2003 - 2004* **Rise of the CRF**

In the Southern region of Tristonia, in Iche specifically, was one of the more violent rebellion groups: The Caligacuan Resistance Front. Unlike its predecessors of civilian protest groups, the CRF had no intention to remain peaceful, an arsenal of military gear and air force technology to make it so. During the years of 2003 - 2020, active battles occurred inside of Tristonia over holding the town of Iche and Crestview Air Force Base, with Tristonia successfully being held back for years despite their might.

**Regional Group Leader:** Arthur Munroe.

#### *2005 - 2020* **Rebellion and Resettlement**

From 2010 and onwards, it was made evidently clear to Tristonia that the CRF were done with playing games. As of the following November, the group had successfully integrated to the lower islands of Caligacua, taking the mantle of New Caligacua.

On January 5th, 2016, New Caligacua was officially declared an official nation, albeit under constant fire by Boden for the land it held, with invasions planned by the larger nation to annex it by force, albeit unsuccessful.

#### *2020 - 2021* **Liberation of Old Caligacua**

As of 2020, the reigning state of Boden fell into anarchy, the government turning against one another over the Caligacuan situation. Having built up a rather impressive naval force over the years, Caligacua saw it necessary to take this opportunity as they would never get it again.

As of January 11th, 2021, New Caligacua pushed forces into Boden and annexed it into their own territory, reclaiming half of their lost empire and making a hard push to reclaim order in the country, successfully.

Two days later, in a matter of coincidence, Tristonia fell alongside Boden as poverty had riddled them useless, with New Caligacuan forces pushing over the border and reclaiming their entire empire back, as well as colonising a large section of Tristonia as repayment for their misdeeds.

This was only the start for Caligacuan colonisation.

#### *2021 -* **Colonisation**

As of 2021, New Caligacua has colonised one nation and several smaller island nations for the use of biome preservation, trade, naval power and global development. Most importantly, more than half of the previous nation of Tropicana has been put under the rule of New Caligacua and several parts of the Anteminian coast have been set for military, resource and scientific usage.

## **Geography**

New Caligacua is largely diverse in its geography, featuring thick forested swamplands to the Southwest, Steppes to the Southeast, Heavy mountains to the North, and arctic regions on the Southern Islands.

### **Climate**

Depending on where you are in New Caligacua, it may range from blistering cold to average temperatures, with highs of 15°C, and lows of -25°C. The average temperature stands at around 0 - 5°C.

## **Government**

### **Law**

Law throughout New Caligacua is dictated by Parliament and the Prime Minister, with votes being voted on frequently. Several notable laws include:

**The Gun Freedom Act -** Allows all civilians access to firearms given complete background checks, usage checks and permit.

**The Freedom of Speech Act** - Allows for every civilian to say and believe as they please as long as it is not harassment, terrorism, extremism, violating privacy laws, cause for concern or sexual harassment.

### **Parliament**

Parliament in sorted into a group of seats and is settled in Seapoint Manor's Commons Hall.

The front of the hall houses the speaker, electorate whips, assistant speakers and military aid.

The centre of the hall features a seat for the Prime Minister and the leader of the Opposition.

The left three tables are reserved for the Party In Power, AKA the party whose leader is the Prime Minister.

The right three tables are reserved for the Opposition, AKA the party voting against the Prime Minister.

The back four tables are reserved for third parties, other parties, or parties which do not fall into the opposition or PIP.

### **Military**

#### **New Caligacuan Army**

The smaller of New Caligacua's fighting force, the Army stands as the ground units and infantry of the country. Of note, New Caligacua's Army handles most if not all armed vehicle usage, including the 5th Armored Cavalry Regiment and others.

The firearm of choice for the New Caligacuan Army is the SA80 A2.

#### **New Caligacuan Navy**

The larger and much more well known force of New Caligacua is its navy. Led proudly by Admiral Hoi To, the navy protects the shores of the nation with its many ships and carrier fleets to protect the seas from intruding forces. In the liberation of Old Caligacua, the navy played a crucial part in making sure terror did not flood through the region in an instant.

Alongside surface ships, carriers, destroyers, frigates, and other ships, the New Caligacuan Navy prides itself in a large arsenal of submarines used in times of need as a powerful combat hand.

#### **New Caligacuan Air Force**

Similar to the Navy, the New Caligacuan Air Force or NCAF, pride themselves in their innovation and skill in the skies. With completely original engineering and top level flight training from the likes of retired AWWNB fighter pilots, the New Caligacuan Air Force is one of the more formidable forces to deal with in the skies.

**Known Squadrons:**

* Munroe / 4th Air Division, 10th Tactical Fighter Squadron.
* Dragon / 7th Air Division, 15th Tactical Fighter Squadron.
* Auspex / 2nd Air Division, 3rd Aerial Reconnaissance Squadron.

### **Foreign Relations and Aid**

Prior to collapsing, Caligacua was a part of the I.P.K.C, Caligacua, utilising aid operations and assistance to house AWWNB refugees and military veterans as not to be killed by Chadistan.

As of 2022, New Caligacua assisted in the economic aid of Tropicana (West), and Tamazghia.

No other international aid has been carried out.

Caligacua has urbanised extremely fast, with most cities native to the coastlines and southern regions of the country. They feature extensive ports and export docks for the mass amount of trade Caligacua enters monthly.

### **Health**

New Caligacua is protected under Universal Healthcare, meaning that instead of paying for healthcare every time you visit a hospital and through insurance, you pay it through your taxes and receive healthcare for free as part of your tax. This system has so far shown to work and pioneer medical knowledge in most of the world.

### **Terrorism in New Caligacua**

Despite extensive security measures, New Caligacua has shown large levels of terrorism due to the amount of countries it has enveloped into itself. With the introduction of The Heimdall Initiative, terrorism has dropped significantly, but is still being monitored extensively.

## **Culture**

### **Art and Architecture**

New Caligacua is home to several famous architects and painters, featuring a myriad of art schools and performing arts schools.

### **Media + Technology**

One of the most pivotal part of New Caligacua is the technological advancement of The Heimdall Initiative, a large scale state security and surveillance system. The document below explains the function of the system in more detail.
