Danubia-Carpathia (Chemgotan Milleux)

The **Danubian-Carpathian Federation** (Romanian: Federaţia Dunăreo-Carpatică Bulgarian: Dunavsko-Karpat·ska federatsiya Hungarian: Dunai-Kárpát Szövetség) or simply referred to as **Danubia-Carpathia** (Romanian: Dunăreo-Carpatică Bulgarian: Dunavsko-Karpat·ska Hungarian: Dunai-Kárpát) abbreviated as **D-C** was a multinational Great Power which consisted of Bulgaria, Romania, Moldava and Hungary along with processing several territorial possessions seized from Greece, Ukraine and Turkey during the expansion of the Danubian-Carpathian Federation, it owned the majority of the eastern portion of the Balkan peninsula, it shared borders with Yugoslavia to the west, Austria to the northwest, Slovakia to the north, Ukraine to the northeast, Greece to the southwest and Turkey to the southeast across the Bosporus. The capital city was the Romanian capital of Bucharest where political affairs were discussed and enacted within, in coordination with the rest of the Federation, the cities of Sofia and Budapest were also recognised as national capitals in their own right, the largest city of the Federation was Constantinople, formerly known as Istanbul. Overall in accordance with legal means, Bucharest was agreed to become the capital of all Danubia-Carpathia. Formerly the Danubia-Carpathian Federation was recognised as one of the world's leading Powers and rapidly developed and adapted progressive socioeconomic policies to accelerate it's growth with positive population and economic ranks which over exceeded many sovereign states at the time. At it's core the Danubian-Carpathian Federation was a Federation between three primary Autonomous Republics, those being Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, Moldova, which was named Bessarabia within the Federation was considered an Autonomous State rather than it's own individual separate Republic, as it was primarily ethnically Romanian. Danubia-Carpathia also consisted of several more Autonomous States which were Gagauz, Transnistrian, Székely, Csángó, Carpato-Rusynian, Aromanian, West Thracian, East Thracian and Centropian Autonomous States.

The concept of Danubia-Carpathia originated from the mid 2030s as due to the development of neighbouring nations between Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania and to deter any foreign influence targeting the Eastern Balkans, this caused the three nations which served as the gateway to East and West to become more dedicated towards strengthening relations between each other and multinational unity along with the idealism shared by the European Union and the common military alliance of NATO helped to shape the unique identity of establishing the Danubian-Carpathian identity within the following decades. Eventually in 2057, delegates from both Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary met in Bucharest to formulate the creation of the Danubian-Carpathian Federation which would follow the political system of being one of the world's first direct adhocratic regimes which empathised the values of self-reliance, self-governance, individual initiative and self-organisation although it continued to maintain a bureaucratic hold over it's politics as many parties within the legislature were ambiguous in deciding the passing of laws, reforms, enactments and bills. This led to inequality rising between different subdivisions of the Federation, stirring internal instability and disproportionate economic cooperation between the Autonomous Republics, this resulted with the increase of misguidance and misinformation being spread throughout the government, the first contribution towards the collapse and ultimate failure of Danubia-Carpathia. Despite this, Danubia-Carpathia saw substantial growth and development during it's existence prior to the proclamation of the Stratocracy and the rise of authoritarianism which grew from regional nationalist groups primarily from the Romanian Republic. Another factor was the excessive local demand towards upkeep and modernisation policies which saw many traditional installations become liquidated which enthralled Conservatives throughout the Federation, as conflict began to emerge within the politics of the nation, an emergency government was proclaimed as the rise of the Stratocracy was heavily indulged with the political controversies revolving with the Danubian-Carpathian central government.

Overtime, the political situation worsened with the continuing rule of the Junta and Romanian Nationalists. As the internal Danubia-Carpathia politics became one-sided, disunity amongst the constituent Republics and Autonomous States began to grow with the political fiasco having become out of control for many within the governmental legislature, as the Junta's Council began to rule with an iron fist, a coup was launched against the Stratocracy which was successful and a provisional government subsequently replaced the ousted military regime, a success for the unification of the nation and that reforms towards the revival of Democratic ideals such as Liberty was cherished and was hastily being enacted through new laws with the creation of the provisional government, months later, Hungary and Bulgaria declared their independence respectively from the remainder of the Danubian-Carpathian Federation kick starting the collapse of the Great Power. Overtime minor conflicts ensured to maintain the existence of Danubia-Carpathia, but these attempts for unification were short lived and were poorly prepared, eventually all constituent members succeeded the Danubian-Carpathian Federation with each Republic declaring themselves independent, despite this conflict was inevitable, and the formerly Autonomous Regions proclaimed themselves as de facto independent nations from their former Republics they were once apart of within the wider Danubia-Carpathia. Internal conflict was rampant within the years following the dissolution of Danubia-Carpathia, similar to that of the Soviet Union's dissolution, many nationalists, radicals, regionalists and secessionists proclaimed their independence and thus started armed military conflicts to reunify the nations or to preserve the independence of the former Autonomous Regions. Other groups such as paramilitary, terrorist and rebels in regards of linguistics, ethnicity and religious preferences also revolted throughout the former Danubia-Carpathia following it's collapse, after many years of internal conflict. A United Nations led coalition aimed to enforce security, reconstruction, reconstitution and restructuring of the newly established nations, eventually, the United Nations coalition force managed to reinstate control to Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, but some breakaway states such as Bessarabia, Centropia and Kyevikuta managed to maintain their independence and were fundamentally recognised by the international community as their own respective nations and were admitted into intergovernmental organisations such as the United Nations and the European Union.

After the fall of Danubia-Carpathia, it's legacy was remembered by many residents of the former Federation decades following the dissolution of the nation. Attempts and efforts to reinstate the Federation has been made and the closest attempt in doing so was in Romania, whereas Danubian-Carpathian political activist almost won the national elections, but the power held by the Danubia-Carpathia Party was quite influencal in affairs within Romania as a whole on a political and social basis.
