Crimpor

Flag of the Republic of Crimpor

**Crimpor,** officially the **Republic of Crimpor** is a small, Fulcrum (mainly Jabeyrack) backed Republic in Southern Helinska which broke away from the Socialist Republic of Kokinos in 1930 following the Jabeyracki victories against the KSWP-led Kokinos in the Third Intervention, resulting in the major cities of Enotilopolis, Neopolis and Crimpor City being under Jabeyracki control.

In 1930, Regent Lassov of Jabeyrack announced that these territories would form a new nation called Crimpor, named after its capital. The moderate Crimpor Democratic League, led by the war hero Ashwin Giorgos, swept the 1930 Crimpor Elections, and cemented the CDL as the dominant party in the small country, beating out the KSWP (C). Crimpor would also become a Barony in the Holy Empire of Polmaria, with Alar Calano acting as the Baron. The Baron would have very little power, and would essentially serve as a figurehead.

Throughout its 25 years of existence, Crimpor's politics have been dominated by the moderate CDL, with the CCF and KSWP (C) remaining niche oppositions with little influence. This one party dominance has led to corruption and complacence creeping into the CDL, but these problems were mostly kept at bay while the popular Ashwin Giorgos lived. When he died in 1948, things began to get worse, but they were still manageable, and the CDL remains ever popular to this day.

In 1954, Pallis Ioannis- then Regent of Crimpor- held a referendum on whether the country should remain a part of the Federal Kingdom of Polmaria. The majority (67%) of the populace voted to become a Dominion i.e. Crimpor would be independent but their head of state would technically still be the Monarch of Polmaria (at the time Queen Elaina Fedali Calano). The title of Baron would also be replaced with the title of President, and the President would be appointed by the Polmarian Senate.

## History

### The Interventions and the Formation of Crimpor (1930)

By 1930, the Interventions had already been raging on for nearly three years. In Jabeyrack, the Longerian government had been overthrown, and Kavasia V had been killed by Kokinan troops. The new government- the 1929 Coalition- wished immediately to regain control of Jabeyracki troops stationed near Cremdel Beach, who were under Longerian command at the time. They sent Veeldin- a former Regent of Jabeyrack who had come to power through dubious means- to oversee this, with the Regent of the time Lassov likely hoping Veeldin would die on the mission.

Veeldin arrived at the army encampment, which had begun to look like a permanent settlement, under the guise of bringing reinforcements in the form of tanks and new equipment manafactured as a part of the 1929 Coalition government's military reforms initiated by Councilman of Defense Eck Dremand. Many soldiers in the camp were dispirited and disllusioned with the Longerian Sect, and with the frequent fighting resulting in the death of most Longerian officers, the opinions in the camp were mostly anti-Longerian.

As part of her mission, Veeldin approached two of the most prominent officers in the camp. First she approached Nomvit Asenov, who had taken control of the Camarian Foreign Regiment after the death of its previous officer in Neopolis. Although Asenov was suspicious of Veeldin at first, considering her a despot just like Kavasia V, he decided to help her upon learning that she was acting on the orders of the Margov and the Council of Six. Next, she approached Orion Papoutsis, the leader of the Kokinans who were supporting Jabeyrack in The Interventions. Orion was bitter at first, blaming her for the deaths of many after she abandoned the Second Intervention, but eventually agreed to support her.
