Isakiona

### Intro

Isakiona is what is the remnants and ruins of what was once Zhao after the nation was annexed by the Qin State, and they would migrate across the Yellow River and go to Siberia, where they had to fight the Siberian Khanate and was a success soon being assimilated by the Tungusic people but with 50% Chinese. The capital is Yakutsk

## History

### The Retreat of the Zhao People(221 BC-178 BC)

Soon after the annexation of the Zhao Dynasty by the Qin, they retreated out of the Yellow River to get out of the state and not end up like the other leaders, soon they would come out against the Xiongnu and lose the in The Battle of Ider River. They would try to find another destination, and found Siberia, soon they would fight the Siberian Khanate which were weak and unstable in this timeline, soon they will fall to rebellions and Zhao refugees. The Zhao would soon make another nation named New Zhao, but this would be short lived, as the calvary commander of the army would establish a military coup against the government, making Isakiona under Emperor Isaki I.

### The Lena Wars (144 BC-128 BC)

Shortly after the death of Emperor Isaki I, the heir, Emperor Bao Wong was to succeed his father, and he did, but he had a lot of obstacles. Like for example, paying tribute and becoming a vassal of Han, the dynasty demanded, soon they denied, and the Lena Wars happened. The Han Chinese however weren't equip to the cold and faced raiding from the Xiongnu Tribes, starvation, food shortages, and dehydration. This made it easy for the militia to use guerrilla warfare tactics against the Han. The emperor of the dynasty was irate by this and demanded an immediate operation to turn the tide of the war that had been going on for 14 years, and they had came up with Operation Winter, where they built tunnels and ambush them underneath while also flanking them. This worked for a while until they had made one fatal mistake, THEY FORGOT TO GIVE THEIR MEN WINTER CLOTHES! They would die and the Han surrendered only 2 months after.

### Birth of the Empire of Siberia (17 AD-60 AD)

The Isakionans would later expand all the way into Siberia, well most of Siberia, excluding the Ural Mountains, they would also expand into the Manchurian and Korean province annexing them into autonomous regions, later the Empire of Siberia is born and they would interest politics in Eastern Asia, like spreading their religion, Legalism across the world and burning the books of Confucius. Establishing a central government and destroying feudal states. The Empire is fully an empire.

### The Quick Fall of Siberia (60 AD-89 AD)

However the feudal government being replaced by a centralized government didn't fare too well in the ancient world of antiquity, the EOS would collapse only a few decades later. The reason why is because the nobles didn't like the new government and the country was unstable after their leader died from pneumonia, and they collapsed, not existing for 1700 Years later.

### Rebirth (1796-1895)

In this alternate timeline, everybody in Europe (only the people though) were buying in the revolutionary ideas of the French Revolution, even the Russian people, leading to many revolts and rebellions, causing instability and making Russia collapse, only present in Caucasus, Novgorod, and Moscow. The Leader of the region, Isakiona at the time, Ai Fen, decided to create her own country and bring back the Zhao-influenced state of Isakiona. They worked with Davinia, another fellow Asian country, this created many revolts in Europe before even WWI.

### Frenemies (1919-1937)

Shortly after the revolts, the once allies of Davinia and Isakiona became enemies because they were opposite ideologies, with Isakiona being a Isolationist Nationalist Capitalist Junta Shogunate, and the Davinians being communists. They would have many border conflicts and when the Soviets reached Siberia again and declared war on them, they supported the USSR, but overall it was peaceful and relaxing, until they had a little flavor, a Japanese flavor.

### WWII (1937-1941)

Shortly after the Japanese declaration of war against China, the Isakionan leader, Shogun Isaki XII had been hoping for Eastern Siberia since the Japanese had own the East of Siberia for decades after the collapse of Russia, and he wanted to pass through the Lena River, because the borders were on the Lena River. So the Shogun decided to join the Front against the Japanese, commanding the army, the shogun began Operation Behemoth and Operation Leviathan, where they would begin bombarding them with dynamite underground in tunnels and artificial waves from dynamite. This succeeded until it stalemated in 2/8/1940 and so a year later in August 9th, 1941, they signed a treaty.

### The Cold War and onwards onto the modern day

Being a capitalist dictatorship in 3 communist sovereign states would be the end of you right? Wrong, the Isakionan Shogun in WWII made forts, walls, strategies and weapons like communication bombs that make rebellions to make this a very unlikely situation. They would also trade with the USA and be on the side of the capitalists despite being isolationist. Their own wars, the Siberian Wars, which the Soviets unsurprisingly and humiliatingly lost. After the war the economy skyrocketed because of economic reforms, making it one of the richest nations.

### Future Chapter 1: The Trade Wars

However history is never peaceful and the long peace ends with a World War! The Trade Wars have begun. It all started with the European Union becoming a federation of nations but since the Middle East didn't like this they put sanctions on NATO and the European Union along with a blockade named the Homs Blockade, a European ship was trying trade with Israel and put the Europeans out of Middle East but it was shot down because the protectors were too paranoid. The European Commonwealth and NATO declared war on the Middle-East Coalition unfortunately Turkey was in both sides and thus were neutral and didn't go into the war despite being in NATO, the Europeans asked and they refused, so they forced their troops into the nation. The Trade Wars have just started and now the whole world is at war except for some neutral and isolationist countries. Isakiona is on the NATO side and sends waves of soldiers to the Russian border and use tunnels to destroy the militia of Russia, they would also use trench warfare again, the war ends when Beijing and Moscow is taken and occupied, creating the Treaty of Beijing in 2055. *Under Construction and TBC*

## Geography

The Geography of Isakiona is very hard to go through because of lakes, mountains and the cold, making it almost impossible, but it is known as an icy, frozen, country.

## Politics

The Shogun has all the power except the prime minister and the senate, and is not a democracy, making it an autocratic society.
