Flag of the Kingdom of Jazirad-Alijar until the 15th of December 2021

## Overview

**The Kingdom of Jazirad Alijar** commonly referred to as Jazirad-Alijar of the KJA is a nation on Season 8 of Polynesia. It was declared independent by Pharaoh Spaghettio which negan the Jazirad-Alijar War of Independence which itself began the Jazirad-Alijar Civil War. The Kingdom lost both wars after the surrender, escape and abidcation of Spaghettio from his seat of power allowing the capital Al'Madi to fall to the sieging Jazirad-Alijar Democratic Front Fighters. The State is now lead by Prime Minister Sealand who assumed power from the abdication of Spaghettio.

## Culture

Jazirad-Alijar had a distinctive culture to the Reublic of Polynesia due to its unique positioning geographically and the culture that came about from it. The nation was heavily religious and believed totally in the leadership of Pharoah Spaghettio seeing him as a God. However religiously the state was majority Sparrowanity and believed in a reformed version of it with emphasis on the smaller Gods in the religion mainly the ocean based ones due to the state being on two islands located in a vast ocean relativley isolated from the rest of the world especially from active city centres.

The main temple in the capital Al'Madi was the main centre of religious activity from all over the nation however its teachings would eventually lead to a religous split with many supporting the churches teachings of belief in the Kabir (Kraken) to be of the highest importance in Jazirads version of Sparrowakism. Those on the opposite believed the Pharaoh to be up as a God alongside the Kabir and others as a direct representative of God on earth. This would lead to much tension and major political differences arose from this.

Alongside the religious aspects of Jaziradian culture many local traditions also developed due to the states isolation from the RoP. Kabiryamn was the main celebration in the city that every 10 days and involved sailors being sent out to capture and kill a squid to free more room for the Kabir to live under the waters. The tradition was mainly in Alijar which was much more rural than the rest of Jazirad. The capital of Al'Madi also held these festivals althogh they were never at the same scale as the ones in the Alijar islands.

## Population Demographics and Land Claims

### Population

The Population of Jazirad-Alijar was tightly knit in its community and was unable to see much growth during its period of existence and only saw decline as it continued due to the wars it would enter itself into. The nation was also very exclusive and kept itself shut off, Even with the smallest of populations they were able to become easily divided against each other due to the isolation from the rest of the RoP forcing the population to become heavily into religion further creating more and more isolation. When the war was declared half the population would drop and then would drop by another following the collapse of the monarchy due to the RoP governments bombings and the siege of Al'Madi by the Jazirad-Alijar Democratic Front who had been able to gain mass support.

### Demographics

The demographics of the state were constantly changing during its short history due to the constant war in the state especially the civil war that played a huge part in the demographics switch as the popular anti monarchy pro RoP side in the conflict the Jazirad-Alijar Democratic Front were also heavily religious believing in the temples teachings about the superitory of the Kabir and had a staunch opposition to those who saw the Emperor as a God even going as far to following their victory removing the position that had let Jazirad since the start and making a millitary council headed by the Prime Minister until the eventual return of the lands to the RoP.

### Land Claims

The land claims of Jazirad-Alijar did not change at all since its start of independence other than the invasions of its land although they maintained theyre claims over them even after the fall of them to opposition forces. The two provinces were the smaller islands of Alijar which were rural and undeveloped areas with slightly different traditions to the rest of the Kingdom on Jazirad with a higher belief in the religous festivals that had developed over time due to the islands isolation from the rest of the RoP which forced them more into believing in the ocean and the religion that sprang from it mixed with Sparrowackism that had crossed from Wicklow to form a new branch of it unique to Alijar. Jazirad was mucyh more built up and was the site of the capital Al'Madi. The seat of the Pharaoh being here made them much more against the idea of the Kabirs supremacy and more in favour of acknowledging the importance of the Pharaoh in their religion.

## History

### Post Civil War and Dissolusion.

Following the civil war in Jazirad the new government decided to effectively begin a program of killing of Jazirad, opting for the cancellation of infastructure projects and more preserving what was left, a mass exodus of civillians had come due to the war and the city had become incredibly unpopular to the general serverbase. The government would soon offer up negotiations to then Prime Minister of the RoP Tommop who would sign a peace deal with the nation ending the War of Independence and the nation. After the dissolution the town would fall into inactivity due to the war and all sides involved regretted the conflict the war would quickly be forgotten by most civillians as it was generally ignored by Polynesians when it was going on.
