Alikakia

A large imperialistic country in the Western continent of the Orange Isles. The have concurred most of the Western continent and a small piece of the east. Alikakia thrives to have all of the West. They have a single country under their control that remains "independent", Paulahia.

Alikakia is ruled by a lone emperor who is advised by only those they choose to be near them.

The country's cities are spread out across the large territory that it holds and allows much of its land to become wilderness. This does not mean that they are lack for people, as they have the largest population at a total of 46.3 Million people living in its 3,161 thousand Square Miles. The main Geography of the country is forested but there rises Mount Wafford in the east of the country, where the wildlands are found, that has glacier biomes reaching to its peak. A smaller less tall range can be found on the south western coast of the country. There is a small cold desert to the west of Mount Wafford and a few savannahs spread out through the country. Wetlands take up large portions of the coastline that is near to the mountain.

The predominant culture of the nation is Rian culture, however there are two smaller subsets of cultures in the most western areas of the country including Shwazen and Romani Cultures. Though these cultures are given little weight in the decision making process.

The major religions of the country are the Rian Folk Culture, The Ponopahakian Coterie, The Slovan Gods, and The Shwazen Folk traditions.

The country shares its two southern borders, one on an island that is divided and the other on the main continental land mass, with Herstia. These two countries are fierce rivals and are always on the brink of war. This uneasy pressure has always caused Alikakia to maintain a strong military.

The northern border of the country is with Ormsheadia and the wildlands, though most people would just say that wildlands is an unexplored portion of the Alikakian Empire. Technically the country also shares a separate northern border with Paulahia, however because Paulahia is a vassal nation it could be said there is no real border there.

The very small Eastern Border on the western continent is against Flok and the eastern border on the eastern continent is shared with Dolakia. The area on the eastern continent is largely inhabited by Orcs.

At current the country is in a naval war of about 2 years long with Bushia. This dispute stemmed from the illegal usage of Alikakian ports on the eastern continent and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon. Though the two are at war this has not made any significant impact on the homelands of either of the countries as most of the fighting is at sea.

History

A little over 100 years ago the nation of Alikakia was a small and divided country that sat in the rough middle of the content. This comined with their lack of significant export crippled the country for centuries before. There was a turning point, and this when King Fegla was able to unite the country. Once his country was brought together he was able to begin producing powerful magical weapons and effects with the knowledge that the two largest research facilities were doing separately during the divide. Armed with new, powerful, and dangerous weapons King Fegla embarked on a bloody path of destruction that wreaked havoc across the Content for 50 some years. After the intial campaign of violence and death had slowed and the King Fegla had passed, his son King Huv began a more strategic conquest of the remaining lands. The last country Paulahia was officially concurred around 15 years ago, though there are still cells of rebel activity in the country.

After the 15 year war of Divine Ash

Alikakia lost all of its hold on the southern island as well as some of the wester peninsula to Herstia. Ground was also lost to Paulahia along the norther coast, as well as Paulahia becoming an independent state while Alikakia was forced to focus more resources elsewhere. The country has gained territory along their Eastern boarder. Alikakia's holdings on the Eastern peninsula have also increased. No progress has been made on concurring the top of Mt. Wafford and it remains technically neutral. The war has left Alikakia with 3,197 thousand square miles after all was settled.

Alikakia was a deceptive and fierce power during the war. Their tact was bold but effective while their troops were dedicated and unwavering. Their victories came slow, but they won many things they fought for.

Near the end of the war, the Reigning Emperor died under suspicious circumstances, and in a turn of events named his third son to become the ruler of the nation. Under his new leadership, the country got to the end of the way and has focused on improving the lives of its inhabitants and decentralizing the wealth of the nation.

The last emperor died in a Shogi match as we was about to lose and keeled over. Doctors determined that he was poisoned, but nobody was able to determine where the poison had come from. The death was three years before the end of the war of Divine Ash.
