The Federal Republic of Sheaman, commonly known as Sheaman is a country located in the South Pacific east of Australia and north-east of New Zealand. It compromises of 15 states of which one of them (Tedesu) is to become a country. Sheaman is an island an island nation surrounded by ocean but is not far off of New Zealand, Australia and Tonga. The country consists of around 26,900,000 people and is the 52nd most populated country in the world behind Venezuela in South America. Sheaman was discovered in 1681 by Sheaman and his crew but were stranded for 7 years until they were discovered by French explorers in 1688. Sheaman immediately became a colony of France until 1701 when England annexed the island after a year-long war and it became the Colony of Sheaman under English/British rule. Sheaman would gain independence in 1889 under the leadership of Edward Taylor and after 3-year war and would officially cut ties with the United Kingdom in 1923 after removing King George V as monarch of Sheaman after a war. Since then Sheaman has been a prosperous nation and became a Federation 1950 after the States Act 1950 was given Presidential assent.

Sheaman is a Federal Parliamentary Republic and has been since the 1st of January 2023 after removing the monarchy the same day. Sheaman has two capital cities; North Shriel and South Shriel which have a population of 2,500,000 and 3,400,000 respectively holding a lot of the whole population of the country. Sheaman is a very economically powerful nation and has a very strong military due to the conflict in Tedesu and has one of the world's leading militarizes.

### Before Discovery

*Main Article: Shean People*

Sheaman's first settlers were supposed to have settled in around 4,000 BC most likely from boats and were known as the Shean (Hey-in) people. They formed the Kschska tribe around the same time with many leaders coming and coming under different rule. Eventually by around 3900 BC a civil-war-like event happened between the Rearataskai and Hakaunatas families which lead to the Hakaunatas family winning leading to Szha'Tal'Te Hakaunata becoming tribal leader around the same time. Their dynasty would reign under the discovery of the island in 1681 and under their rule they would experience a lot of prosperity and never faced another war. One thing the Hakaunatas despised however was traitors and the fear of members splitting off to form new tribes. The Hakaunatas made many advancements such as bronze age tools like dagger and swords and building equipment. They tended to live in triangle houses which were triangular shaped houses made of wood, thatch, straw, mud, stone, wattle etc and they picked triangular shaped houses because they believed that a family should consist of three individuals and no more. The family structure consisted of a mother, father and child and when the child comes of age they can leave their home and construct a new one with their partner and continue the cycle.

### Discovery, French Colony & British Colony

In 1681 the island would be discovered by French explorer Sheaman and his crew which included; Oliver Cart, Sir Theo, Beatrice and many more crew members. The island would be named Sheaman by his crew, although he did not accept the name and refused to call it that instead suggesting the name Île des grands espoirs or Isle of great hopes in English but the name was rejected by the crew insisting on the name Sheaman. Unfortunately for the crew they arrived shipwrecked rather than a safe entrance onto the island and thus they found themselves trapped on the island for 7 years until they were discovered by French explorers. They were reported to the French government who sailed back the months later, given supplies, aid and food and taken care of. The king of France laid claim to the island as established it as a French colony.

The French Colony would be established in 1688 and the name Sheaman was picked for the colony's name becoming the French Colony of Sheaman with Sheaman himself picked for Governor of the Island. Sheaman however posed a threat to the government with his progressive ideas and was soon removed in 1689 physically by execution for speaking out against the French government and monarchy. The French colony experienced some minor problems such as minor uprisings but generally wasn't faulty until the English-french war for Sheaman (1700 - 1701). This war ended in an English victory and the whole island of Sheaman came under English ownership in 1701 creating the English Colony of Sheaman.

The English colony experienced rapid immigration to Sheaman as per the English's plan to increase the population in the island and by 1750 North & South Shriel both had over 20,000 people living there. The country grew on an agricultural economy for many years and the native Sheam people's rights were completely ignored and many were even killed for insulting any white person. Throughout the 1700s the sugarcane business would be quite successful and in high demand with a lot of sugarcane growing in Sheaman's subtropical climate. The late 1700s in Sheaman would mark a pivotal period when Maxifolianism began to rise in the 1770s and the rise of this religion which was founded by Maximilian Colton-Gray began to change opinions in the country. After the death of his father, Max (Maxifolian) Colton-Gray would succeed his father as the figurehead of Maxifolianism in 1789. No longer did people accept that the British had control over the island and in 1798 the Maxifolian Uprising would begin. The uprising lasted 5 years and throughout most of that time the battles were long and never found any success but in 1803 after many attempts to win the Maxifolian rebellion fell after the Battle of the Guns in April 1803 leading to the the end of the conflict and Max Colton-Gray was imprisoned but later broken out. Another Uprising would happen from 1808 - 1809 but failed miserably with little to no changes after the war. There would be a long period without war in the 1810s & 1820s until 1831 when the 3rd Maxifolian Uprising began. This time the Uprising was much more successful as they began pushing back on the colonial government in 1836 and threatening to take the capital. It wasn't until 1839 that the capital was taken and after another two years the government was overthrown completely. This event led to the British finally getting involved and ended the Uprising war and began the Maxifolian War for Independence in 1841. The Independence war went well for the Maxifolians and soon by 1843 they were easily fending off invasions from the most powerful country in the world however in 1844 they began to be beaten in many battles and an armistice was signed the same year. To keep Sheaman under control but no upset they gave Sheaman semi-independence being able to govern their own laws, hold their own elections but still being exempt to things such as defence & military, welfare, economic policy, constitution, foreign policy/relations, immigration, energy regulation and more minor things.

The 1844 General Election was held in Sheaman in August and the Free Liberal Party won the election with Max Colton-Gray becoming Prime Minister at the age of 94 becoming the oldest Prime Minister ever elected to office in Sheaman history. His government was considered relatively successful and started up business in Sheaman as they now had some control of their own economy. He died on the 30th of August 1850 at the old age of 100 years old and was succeeded by his Deputy Prime Minister Eianedre Johan two days later on the 1st of September 1850. He would last one year and make little to no significant changes in his premiership but would be replaced in the 1851 General Election by Martin Von Coloras, a German immigrant in his late 30s who had gained popularity for his moderate stance on politics and relatable attitude. His government went on to win another four elections in 1852, 1856, 1860, and 1864 until losing the 1865 General Election to TRA leader Brody Halls who would go on to become Prime Minister in 1865. Coloras' government passed many significant acts such as the Police Act 1853 that allowed town & cities to create a police force, the Education Act 1859 that reformed the education system and local schools. In the Police Act 1861 he would no longer make local police forces an option now making them mandatory and one of his last acts was the Orphanages Act 1864 that made it a legal requirement for all children that don't live in a home to be considered for an orphanage. Coloras would be replaced by Brody Halls who remain Prime Minister until 1875 when his party failed to win a majority two times in a row and he resigned. His premiership he would pass the Education Act 1870 that made it mandatory for children aged between 5 - 12 to attend Primary School which replaced the 1863 act that required 5 - 10 year olds to attend school. In 1875 the election that year would start to show signs of weakness for TRA when they won yet another minority in the election as FSP began to rise in popularity Many voiced concerns for the rise of FSP but around the majority of individuals were supportive of independence and saw the rise of FSP as a good thing. In 1876 in an attempt to win back a majority another snap election was called but it only led to a smaller minority and so the government tried again three years later after legislation was failing to pass and they gained a few seats but still remained a minority. This was concerning to the government and in 1880 they tried one last time to try and win a majority of seats but instead they were elected out of government with FSP winning a majority government.

As the 1880s began and an anti-British, pro-independence party began its first term in government it dawned a new era in politics and in the country. FSP began making radical changes such as the military act 1880 which established an illegal military in Sheaman. This event was considered a violation of the constitution of Sheaman and was directly against the British government and so Britain decided to simply just demand that Sheaman reverse the act. Prime Minister Edward Taylor refused to do so saying; "It's time to stand up against the British government and its oppression. We fought since the 1790s for our independence but when the option came Max Colton-Gray took to large sum of money and accepted a barely independent government." Instead of the British government retaliating they simply just cut the government's budget and attempted to shame them but to no avail the government of Sheaman just passed more minor anti-British laws. In 1882 FSP called an early election in an attempt to increase their majority and secure a stable government but instead they got a hung parliament and entered a coalition with FL in an attempt to remain in power. FSP would come under a lot of pressure to call another election as the party already became unpopular but in 1883 the United Kingdom whad enough and declared war on Sheaman which added fuel to the fire and FSP called another election and won a massive majority and allowed FSP to fight back. FSP would become much more powerful in the 1880s onward because of the 1883 election and allowed them to pass policies they supported and push through with military spending. Throughout the independence war the party experienced little success even losing many battles as the British invaded the island but in late 1885 the war would begin to turn in favour of Sheaman & FSP and when the 1886 election was called they easily won the election with a slightly reduced majority. The war really started to turn in late 1887 with the British being fought off the island for the first time and it seeming like the war was soon to be over. The British however, would retaliate by landing a massive amount of soldiers on the shores in summer 1888 as a last resort attempt to win back the nation but as soon as it begun, the British were forced of the island on Christmas Eve. A settlement in Spring was signed to enable an armistice and on the 18th of June 1889 Sheaman gained independence.

### Independence & World Wars

As Sheaman gained independence and the constitution was written many people in Sheaman rejoiced with celebrations such as the Summer Independence Celebration which happened moments after the news was heard that Sheaman had become a fully independent country. Edward Taylor as the Prime Minister of Sheaman remarked the success of the war and the massive success that independence brought. He would also go on to thank the people for supporting his party and supporting the war for independence, sticking with him and remaining loyal to the cause. As the early years of the country went on the 1890 election would show that even though people were happy about independence, they now found that independence was secured and the need for FSP in government was lowered. The election led to a small majority government and surprised the Prime Minister who wasn't sure whether to continue as Prime Minister. In the 1892 General Election his party lost the election to TRA who won a small majority government and replaced the 12-year long government with a traditionalist government. Politics would begin changing after FSP was voted out of office as well as people beginning to lose interest in independence so politics shifted towards standard Liberal vs Conservative politics. The traditionalist government didn't last long when the 1893 snap election due to problems between the traditionalists and conservative traditionalists (a faction in the party). FL would go on until 1897 when they were voted out as in their 1st term in government they didn't do much in retrospect to the RFM government and FSP government. The traditionalists won the election due the the the party attempting to work with factions in the party so the party won a functioning majority in the 1897 General Election. Throughout the 1890s and 1900s the Socialist Action Party started to garner attention with its big election in 1897 when it surpassed the Free Liberal Party and became the 2nd largest party in Sheaman. Both the Traditionalists and Free Liberal were concerned in this sudden rise of Socialism and worked closely to combat the rise of socialism in Sheaman. This did not end successfully when the 1905 General Election came around, voting out the Traditionalist government and voting in a minority Socialist Action government. This was a massive change for the country and raised concerns that massive changes would be made too quickly. Socialist Action were upset with its minority and called another election in 1906 leading to a small majority being formed.

The late 1900s and 1910s saw a change in politics when the Free Liberal Party refused to participate in the 1907 General Election and then proceeded to dissolve later that year. The government called the election in 1907 after losing their majority in parliament and legislation being blocked. The Traditionalists managed to find themselves the largest party in parliament after the election, forming a minority government the same year. The Traditionalists would continue to call elections throughout the 1910s to form a majority government but would continuously fail to do so throughout the years leading to four Prime Ministers in 11 years. In 1912 the Socialist Action Party and Left-Wing Revolutionist Party would come together and form the Left Revolutionary Action Party in early 1912 leading to a much more united left and a much better election result in 1912. The 1917 General Election was the last election before the end of the 1st Sheaman Civil War (1918 - 1919) leading to LRA winning 189 seats which was just two seats shy of a majority. TRA and ADSP understood that if they didn't form a coalition then LRA would form a government so a coalition was fortmed between the party that had only three seats more than LRA.

Months before the end of WW1 Wallace Tizelle and his army would storm parliament in July 1918 and demand that the Prime Minister Keith Bett, give up his position as Prime Minister and hand it over to Tizelle. Bett refused to make him Prime Minister so one of Tizelle's men shot Bett and then proclaimed Wallace Tizelle the new Prime Minister. Tizelle would dismiss all MPs in parliament and establish a provisional one-party state on the same day, declaring the (1st) Democratic Republic of Sheaman the following day.
