Jura

Sani tribe

The **Jura Forest Alliance** or **Juraniya Alliance**, known simply as **Jura**, is a country in New Canada with a population of 126,304 people. The capital of Jura is Quebec City with a population of 132 people and the most populous city is Saguenay with a population of 39,210 people, with a majority of the country being dispersed within their broad forests in family clans.

In 2166, Red Nation colonists encountered the native Jura tribe in Saguenay and persuaded them to join their country. After the countless acts by the Red Nation going against their religion's beliefs, Jura officially declared independence from the Red Nation in 2182 and later influenced their disbandment and future successions such as Virtania and Idris.

The nation is based off of tribes and government decisions are controlled by a council including one person of every tribe. Notable tribes include the Yano tribe native to Saguenay, Kono tribe native to St. Johns, and the Sani tribe native to Quebec respectively.

While the Jura people may seem very primitive compared to surrounding countries, the country's hardworking ethics and preservation of nature has allowed it to advance at a moderate pace.

## History

### **Fight for independence**

Months of protest were acted by the Kono and Yano tribes for the Red Nation's actions against Yano beliefs, such as the treatment of not just the natives but the people of Nunavut and the lack of healthcare for those outside Yellowknife. While the Red Nation's control of their land was slowly crumbling, they agreed to the mass and gave Jura independence in the forests of Quebec. Jura was officially declared independent from the Red Nation on March 5, 2182.

### **Expansion**

After the Red Nation's collapse in 2183, Jura spread their territory and inherited the city of Quebec. The ruined city became a home to some of the natives, and the Sani tribe formed from them, declaring it their capital city. Throughout the years, Jura naturally gained control of the cities St. Johns and Saguenay, with the tribes Kono and Yano settling there respectively.

### **Suffering from war**

In 2208, the Siege of Kono occurred, leaving the Kono tribe threatened by French genocide. Fighting for freedom, insurgency remained prevalent and well known Kono warriors were killed in insurrection. By the first week of the war 19,120 Kono people were recorded to have been killed out of the 23,350 (83% of the Kono population). This genocide would harm the future of the Kono tribe for generations to come, with Aqissiaq Tyee being the last surviving suitable chief. Proving himself to the heir, the French Colonial War served as a trial for Tyee, who was a revolutionary leader and commander for Kono in the war. Receiving aid from the Reunited States of America, the Jura Forest Alliance successfully defended their culture at a brutal cost.

### **Recovery and reclamation of Kono**

With only around 3,000 surviving citizens of Kono, it became a minority tribe with Yano recording 27,890 people in 2209. Aqissiaq would then serve as a revolutionary leader in the Second California Civil War as Juran aid.

## Government and politics

Jura is a constitutional republic with a tradition of focusing on neutrality and peace. The government is equally split between existing tribes through the council, including one person of every tribe.

### **Foreign Relations**

The closest relation Jura holds is with the neighbouring Reunited States of America, which Jura is a tributary state of due to their protection during war. As seen in the French Colonial War, the RSA was responsible for saving the nation from genocide and the relation between countries has been very close since then.

Jura would also support the Reunited States of America aid Rookono during the Second California Civil War, sending in around 100 men to patrol the forests of Rookono.
