Jabeyracki Winter Offensive

Belligerents| **Raghdad Pact*** Jabeyrack
* Sultanate of Kherfiyyah

The **Second Intervention** was a failed invasion of the Socialist Republic of Kokinos by the nations of Jabeyrack and Kherfiyyah. It was part of the Interventions.

## History

### Battle of Neopolis

The Battle of Neopolis was the opening battle of the Second Intervention.

### Capture of Fort Ioannis

As the first act of the second intervention, a small Jabeyracki squad of rangers assaulted Fort Ioannis, which was blocking one of the main routes to the city of Neopolis. The fort was manned mostly by conscripts, ill-prepared to fight Jabeyracki Rangers, one of the most skilled branches of Jabeyrack's military. After just a few hours of fighting, the fort was seized by Jabeyracki troops.

After the capture of Fort Ioannis, Jabeyracki forces quickly captured the city of Neopolis. According to the Kokinan government, a massacre of around 20,000 people was conducted in Neopolis by the Longerians, but this claim has not been confirmed by any reliable sources.

### Defense of Retgard

The Defense of Retgard was when the tide turned in favour of the Kokinans. After the defeat at Retgard, the Jabeyrack-Kherfiyyan coalition collapsed, and Jabeyracki troops were forced to retreat to Neopolis and Cremdel Beach as their Kherfiyyan allies returned home. With the intent of relieving troops trapped behind enemy lines, Jabeyrack launched the Third Intervention.
Ionescos

**Ionescos** is a city in northern Kokinos, being one of the last Ionian settlements that barely survived the Ionian Genocide. Prior to its handover to Kokinos in 1955, it was a part of the Di'Aamascene Accords, being known as either "Di'Aamascene Ionia" or "the Ionian Exclave". The town is currently the capital of the Ionescos Special Autonomous Zone

The **Faithful Rising of Esket** (O'Leary Shrine Language: ***Volandos ph'esqueta***) was a large-scale uprising conducted by the elvish population of Esket against Clan Sorrel, their political overlords. It was primarily led by Kayas Melnaus, a Seer and radical adherent of the Spirits Graol, but minor elvish separatist groups participated as well. The rebels were militarily crushed in the attack on the Gilded Keep in 1895, but the unease generated by their actions led to a series of reforms and reconciliation attempts by the Sorrels. In particular, the Sorrel Law of Commerce was repealed, and a dialogue between the family and the elvish Shriner community on Esket was established.

Hakken

**Hakken**, originally **Haaken**, was an Astavaran city in Central Helinska. It was situated along the Bok River across from Haar.

For generations, it was under the control of the House of Este, an Astavaran family in the Despotate of Ionia. Following the death of Hubrecht von Este, it was renamed Hakken and merged with Haar to form the city of Hakkenhaar, which later became the capital of the Kingdom of Astavara.
Federal Republic of Derenakya

Flag of the Federal Republic of Derenakya

The **Federal Republic of Derenakya** is a former colony of the Montelan Federation in Merelaux which gained its independence after decades of fighting its Montelan colonisers, with the fight being led by the Derenakyan People's Independence Front. However, gaining independence did not cause all the country's problems to disappear- tribal divisions between the various tribes threatened to tear the country apart, and with Montelan forces leaving the area the government found itself under a significant amount of stress to control the country.

The first High Minister of Derenakya- Mahmed Wakalinos- was considered a "Montelophile" by most, having surrounded himself with Derenakyans loyal to his regime and the Montelan Federation, with the Derenakyan People's Independence Front being largely excluded from the government despite their efforts in the freedom struggle. Many bemoaned the fact that despite gaining "full-independence", Derenakya remained under Montelan influence.

The Acelan minority in Derenakya, which was previously ambivalent to Montelan rule, broke out into revolt shortly after the country gained independence in 1954. Militant fighters targetted the Derenakyan National Army, and an inter-racial war seemed likely for much of Derenakya's history.

After the Vetomuls Crisis of 1955 resulted in Derenakya gaining much of former Nostovia and all of the Republic of Glosveffia, two new communities were thrown into this volatile mix, resulting in more strife.
Northern Province

Flag of the Northern Province as of 1955

The **Northern Province** of the Kanorian Empire was created in 1955 following the initial successes of the Greater Kanorian Armed Forces in the war against Valeron. It was one of two provinces created out of the initial territorial gains of the war, with the other being the Ashenstein Province. Due to the ongoing war, elections to the Northern Provincial Assembly and Chamber of Councillors in the region were delayed until the end of the war.
Kanorian Revolution

### Outcome:

Collapse of the Tarnist Republic of Kanoria:* Creation of the Republic of Kanoria (pro-Fulcrum), People's Democratic Republic of Kanoria (pro-Internationale), Kanorian Confederation, and State of Düllsberg
* Kanorian Westists and Longerians crushed
* Cult of Tarn suppressed in the November Purges of 1938

Lemetiate of Jazberk

The **Lemetiate of Jazberk** was a splinter state of Polgan that existed from 1910 to 1911. Shortly after its founding, a rival warlord state launched an invasion of Jazberk. Over the course of a year, Pelarosi troops had taken the capital, Szendrodvarke, and the inexperienced Jazberki army was forced to unconditionally surrender.

Jazberk's legacy would be preserved by Liamist secessionists in Szendrodvarke that rose up in 1929 who would go on to found the Polmarian state of New Jazberk.
General Secretaries of the ACP

The **General Secretary of the Agranid Communist Party** serves as the overall head and in charge of all party related activities, including deciding candidates, overseeing committee meetings and helping keep the Party united.

Until Abanau Mosul Alwind died in 1954, the Kherfiyyan Worker's Republic was a one party state- meaning that the General Secretary of the party had near unparalleled power, second only to the Leader of the KWR. When Mosul died, this changed, as multi party elections began to occur and the KWR transitioned into a parliamentry democracy- with opposition parties like the Kherfiyyan Democratic League emerging.
Fall of Karostain

The **Fall of Karostain** refers to the collapse of the Karostain Empire's colony--Codasiful--in Helinska, 1929. As Karostain had waged war against many of its neighbors, the event was largely celebrated in Eastern Helinska. It also marked the end of a foreign imperialist power on Helinskan soil and, to most, the beginning of the end for modern colonialism in Helinska. Western Karostain was seized by the Bryne International Security and Defense Affiliation, while Eastern Karostain was split between the Polmarian-aligned states of Kurvack and East Kurisal, as well as the Dhernish vassal-states of the Qaricel Clan Council and West Kurisal.
Monarchy of O'Lear

The **Monarchy of O'Lear** is the form of government in which a hereditary sovereign rules over the Union of O'Lear and its possessions, in tandem with the legislative College of Clans. It was established during the O'Leary Unification War by Alvar I Aastersen.

List of ICO Agencies

**ICO Agencies** are semi-autonomous international programmes working under the administration and supervision of the Interstellar Cooperation Organization. Many of the organizations are intended to facilitate development, environmental restoration, or international security. This list, which currently consists of 16 agencies, is organized chronologically by programme importance/international relevance.

## Primary Branches

### Security Council

*Main article: ICO Security Council*

Established in 1954 as the authority on international military, administrative, and peacekeeping matters, the ICO Security Council (ICOSC) was originally made up of nations: 6 permanent members and two rotating, the latter of which served terms of two years. In they years immediately following the War of the End-Times and its increase of the ICO's authority, it was decided that the ICO required a direct spokesperson with national bodies of its own, acting as a neutral intermediary and representative of the wider international community at large rather than of one specific bloc. As such, the position of the Director-General was established, made up of 3 executive officials decided by the Security Council.

In 2045, citing an "increase in national obstruction", the joint national-international system was replaced by the Directors-General entirely. They continue to serve the role of executive authority today, though much of the day-to-day management is relegated to Directors (together with the ICOSC comprising the Directorate).

### Directorate

*Main article: Directorate (ICO)*

Created alongside the position of the Director-General, the Directorate acts as the central administrative and bureaucratic arm of the ICO, with all of its various organs and the Directors for which the Directorate is named falling under its auspice. The Directorate is the main source of economic and political analysis for ICO's legislative branches and Security Council; it administers Transitional Authorities, operates political missions, prepares assessments that precede peacekeeping operations, appoints the heads of departments and offices, conducts surveys and research, communicates with non-state actors such as media and non-government organizations, and is responsible for publishing all of the treaties and international agreements the ICO is a signatory to, mediator of, or otherwise important to.

### Observatory Council

*Main article: ICO Observatory Council*

One of the most recent additions to the ICO System, the Observatory Council (ICOOC) was created alongside the 2098 Member-State Reform Summit, wherein the ICO's authority in its member-states was greatly increased. Since then, the Observatory Council has acted as essentially a continuation of the ICO's 1954 form-- that being a forum for sovereign nations to vote on climate summits, sanctions, and forward global initiatives.

Karoksani National Democratic Party

The **Karoksani National Democratic Party** *(KNDP)* or **Partia Narodowo-Demokratyczna Karoksan** *(PNDK)* was a syncretic, authoritarian political party that served as the sole legal and ruling party of the short lived Republic of Karoksan. The PNDK functioned as little more than as a puppet and mouthpiece of Elburt Novak- the party's leader and dictator of Karoksan- and there was no significant opposition to Elburt from the PNDK during its existence.

The **National Assembly of Adenwadoa** is the unicameral Parliament of the Fulcrum Republic of Adenwadoa and acts as the main governing body of Adenwadoa. It is headed by the Prime Minister and consists of 20 elected members from across the country.

The National Assembly is responsible for governing the country and making all decisions. It was formed by the Republican Adenwadoan Forward Party led by Elirs Starven and backed by the Fulcrum, who wished to replace the old Theocracy.

The first elections to the assembly took place in 1954. Due to the AFP's role in liberating the country from Nostovia and the lack of a significant opposition, the AFP won with a landslide 17/20 seats, and Elirs Starven became the first Prime Minister with Benry Corlin as his Deputy and Home Minister.

Eight Pillars (ICO)

The **Eight Pillars** are a set of basic guidelines and objectives intended to foster peace among nations. They were adopted by the ICO's Security Council and Forum nearly unilaterally shortly after the end of the War of the End-Times. Since then, the Eight Pillars have often been referred to in international laws, mandates, decrees, and other such documents.

## Content of the Eight Pillars

According to the ICO's official website, the Eight Pillars are described as follows:

* *Cooperation:* Peace can only be achieved through mutual gain and mutual effort.
* *Justice:* The rule of law must be upheld and all accountable to it.
* *Equality:* Discrimination based on species, race, nationality, religion, gender, or other monikers is a non sequitur to peace.
* *Commitment:* Peace will not be achieved with half-measure solutions.
* *Sustainability:* Resource deficiencies motivate conflict; sustainable methods prevent such violence.
* *Initiative:* To preserve peace and save lives, preemptive measures are sometimes necessary.
* *Education:* Our children are our future.
* *Peace:* The ultimate goal.
Kokino-Ionians

**Kokino-Ionians** are one of the ethnic groups recognized and designated by the Socialist Republic of Kokinos. It is the largest ethnicity in Kokinos, numbering at around 43% of the population, and consists of Kokinans, Ionians, along with some Airolian, Kanorian and Katavian populations that have been present in the country before 1950.

The "Kokino-Ionians" were officially designated in the Kokinan 2080 Census Act, part of the KSWP's policies of "separating" the country's minorities
Karolos Marinos

Marinos in 1950, shortly before his departure to Astavara

Karolos Marinos (born August 7, 1901) was a Kokinan officer, member of the Kokinan Socialist Worker's Party, and the leader of communist partisans in Port-Vamosa from the start of the Novo Gavian Bush War in 1926 until 1928, when he was replaced by then-Lieutenant Tryfon Argyris and recalled to the mainland, where he fought in the Battle of Red Bay and Third Intervention. Injured by a Jabeyracki sniper in Revolucia, he left active frontline service in 1931, and was transferred to the general staff. He was appointed Military Advisor to the Astavaran People's Republic in 1950.

The **Gresian Autonomy**, officially called the **Gresian Socialist Republic** (**GSR**), referred to a puppet state of the former Republic of Gresia that were under the military occupation of the Socialist Republic of John following the Gresian-Fulcrum War.

It was contested by the Gresian resistance movement.

The Autonomy comprised the former states of Daminian, Koxor, Ramseloi, Granlanders, and Stoland. It neighbored the Fulcrum-Republic of Motezor.
Nanzkya

**Nanzkya** is a moderately sized city in Jabeyrack that was formerly a part of the Pelarosi Triumvirate. It was the site of a massive battle during the Jabeyrack-Pelaros War, and has become one of the richest and most well developed cities in Jabeyrack due to the efforts taken by the Nanzkya People's Conglomerate.

A member of the military junta backed Law and Order Party, Al-Aziz is on the more moderate side of the party, and has worked to improve the country's relations with the outside world. Still, his government has continued more or less the same Alahist, nationalist and protectionist policies as his predecessors as is the norm for military ruled Aazarkan.
Jabeyracki

**The Jabeyracki** were an ethnic group in Polmaria, being the dominant group in Jabeyrack and having significant populations in all Provinces of Polmaria, including the colony of New Polgan on Melos. They are the largest of the three ethnic groups in Jabeyrack- with the other two being the Quesi People and the Ucklivians.

**Konrad Palonovich Ulnev** (1888-1955?) was an Iljekyan statesman and war criminal who served as Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Executive Committee of the Workers' Party of the National Association from 1938-54, and led the short-lived Pioneer's Republic from 1954 to '55, when he mysteriously disappeared. The Pioneer's Republic was occupied and dissolved by CETO soon after, and CETO's main goal became locating Ulnev and putting him to justice, though he was never found. Rumors say he fled back to mainland Iljekya.

It was also uncovered that he had plans to launch a Second Great War against the rest of Eredan in 1956, just a few months prior to the CETO invasion of *Pionetska*.

In 1956, the Allied War Crimes Tribunal found Ulnev guilty of war crimes, crimes against sentient species and crimes against peace, stating that Ulnev was responsible for much of Iljekya's rampant sentient rights violations, such as forced deportations, the destruction of Reinish and Dersochian culture, and the murder of up to 10 million people. The war crimes tribunal found him guilty *in absentia* and sentenced him to death by hanging.

**Jiang Yongcheng** (CH: 蔣雍誠), born **Shō Jirō/Jiang Erlang** (蔣二郎) was a Cathese politician and revolutionary who served as the third Prime Minister of the WKF. Born to a middle class family in Huicheng, Jiang was disgusted by his "Spiritually Kanikawan" father and uncles, and joined the the NRP at the age of 15 under the name **Jiang Yongcheng**. He served the National Revolutionary Party in the Kalsheii Revolutionary Wars first as an informant, and then as a member of the NRP's propaganda department.

During the Great Anti-Colonial Struggle, he personally oversaw the struggle sessions targeting his family members. As a member of the NRP Propaganda Department, he heavily promoted the traditional Cathese saying of "大義滅親" (placing righteousness above family loyalty, and punishing one's own relations in the cause of justice), urging Cathese people to criticize their family members for acts of treason. He also heavily promoted Hong Wei thought during this period.

Despite his young age and lack of military accomplishments, Jiang quickly rose through the ranks of the NRP, becoming the head of the NRP Propaganda Department in 2017, then Foreign Minister in 2024, and finally Prime Minister in 2030

## Timeline

* **November 1956:** Though no formal peace treaty was signed after the Fulcrum invasion of Kanoria, the Fulcrum's decision to abolish its Fulcrum-Republics in Kanoria, divert their resources elsewhere, and hand over its remaining territory to Felrin created a tense pause in fighting.
* **December-January 1956/57:** Limited contact between the Imperial Kanorian Government and the Felrin Republic occurs, but is constrained to minor skirmishes and hostile maneuvers. Neither side wishes to attack in the dead of winter.
* **February 1957:** Thawing begins. Confrontations along the line of contact escalate, in a series of clashes largely sparked by the Imperial Kanorian Army.
* **March 1957:** *Declaration of a State of War against the New Despot*, a proclamation by Marco Velsin, is read in Felrin, officially starting the conflict. It is noted for its condemnation of Osea I by comparing his actions to the abuses of the old Despotate of Ionia, underscoring the developing philosophical movement that Felrin was the next Granfel.

**Jodril** is a landlocked city in North-Western Jabeyrack and acts as a major agrarian powerhouse in the country, producing the most food grains. Although it is a fairly economically stable city, it is also the city with the highest percentage of poor people in Jabeyrack, and has lagged behind economically and socially from fast growing cities like Davanpor and Feril and even from stable cities like Jabeyrack City and Yaelivin.

Konstantinos

**Konstantinos** (Not to be confused with the masculine given name Konstantinos/Constantine) is a Kokinan city located in the Iordanou River District. Since 1955, it has enjoyed special status of being a subdistrict-level Special Economic Zone and the only city in Kokinos where gambling is legal, and has since developed into being the "Gambling Capital of Helinska". Recently, during the expansion of Laskou's Wonderworld in Konstantinos, the Wonderworld Ruins theorized to be Viltauri were discovered

The city gets its modern name from Konstantinos II, Despot of Ionia from the Athanoulis dynasty, who founded the settlement as a fortress after the Athanoulis abandoned Viltauri for Granfel. He initially wanted to call the city Konstantinoupolis, but as the name was considered to be "too long", it was shortened to Konstantinos. The city became a prominent industrial city before being razed by Monarcho-Westist occupiers and destroyed in the Cataclysm. During the time of the Republic of Kokinos, the city itself was too destroyed and abandoned, with the population living in a few shanty towns on the outskirts. In 1951, a massive cleanup and rebuilding project began to prepare the city's transformation into the gambling capital it is now
Jürgen Seresia Kaspar

**Jürgen Seresia te Aelta-Idigon ves Kaspar**, born **Jürgen Otto Kaspar**, was an Airolian Lemet, statesman, Councilor, and last child of the Kasparic Dynasty, reigning at the end of the brief *Templiat Imperialis* period (1338-1428), during which the Council was de facto permanently suspended and a single Lemet appointed with 4 non-Kasparic Lemets in an advisory role.

Jürgen was born in Aeilun in 1399, ascending to the throne in 1416 at the age of 17 and reigning until his death in 1428. He was son of Krista Larissa ves Kaspar and grandson of Fichser Otto te Keltasstadt-Aeidil ves Kaspar. His brother was intended to succeed him as he was a year older, and as such, Jürgen spent much of his early teenage years traveling as a Klingenreisende. However, his brother would die only a year before his mother, leaving Jürgen as the sole heir to the dynasty, and thus Lemet.

Jürgen's contributions to Airolia were largely cultural and economic; he oversaw a renewal in religious-artistic practices, an advancement of avant-garde performing and musical arts, the expanding of theaters, and continued trade with other nations. However, he also began a process of establishing social safety nets and slightly reforming taxes, which were nothing less than treason to many other nobles. His ideology is impossible to truly pinpoint exactly, as is the case with many absolute monarchs, but the strange and short-lived Kasparic Socialism was inspired largely by Jürgen's policies. Some modern historians have labeled him a form of Michaelist monarch, though it is unknown if Jürgen had ever personally heard of this ideology.

In response to his policies and a diminishing power among aristocrats, he was killed inside of the *Aureiipalat* and buried somewhere unknown unceremoniously. Following his death, the directorial system was immediately reinstated and the Kasparic remnants in Helinska and in Kalshei hunted down. Despite this, several pretenders rose up after Jürgen's death claiming to be the deceased Lemet, and it was common belief that the Lemet had not truly died. The *Sacrarium Rosarii*, initially a makeshift shrine to the dead Lemet, has since become one of the most famous and well-maintained historical sites of the ancient Lemetiate of Airolia.

Contemporary historians, who were almost entirely of clerical or aristocratic background, paint the reign of Jürgen as incompetent, insane, and unbecoming of a Councilor. Accusations of Jürgen even being irreligious or atheistic were publicly made due to his somewhat-progressive stances, which modern historians think may have some merit. However, modern historians dismiss much of the other claims made regarding his rule as rhetoric to discredit the imperial system and benefit the directorial system.
Kingdom of Reine

## Kingdom of ReineRegno d'Reino

The **Kingdom of Reine** is the successor state to the Archduchy of Reine, having existed since the elevation of Archduke Eugene I to King Eugene I in 1984 following the Reinean transition to democracy. The success of Reine's transition to democracy and defascistization is often times contrasted with Lesovia's, which remained a largely corrupt and unstable flawed democracy struggling with Cadrilla's legacy even a century after the dictator's death. Post-fascist Reine successfully modernized and liberalized, surpassing Carosthania as the second-most populous country in Eredan in 2086. However, after nearly a century of "economic miracles", the economy began to stagnate. Coupled with the large-scale refugee crisis from climate change, Reine has seen several resurgences of the far-right and other extremists in the 22nd century
Michaelism

**Michaelism**, named after Michael Calano, was a political philosophy of "enlightened despotism" popular in some Helinskan monarchies from roughly the 14th to the 19th centuries. It combined liberalism and tolerance with an increase in central state authority. It was founded in the Principality of Polgan, but was not always employed there - the principality went through periods of conservatism and tyranny.

The philosophy of Michaelism was popular in northeastern Kanorian states under the Despotate of Ionia, and later in Ionia as a whole, until it was suddenly undone by the Ionian Centralization.

One proponent of Michaelism was Prince Corvus of the Laron.
Kanorian invasion of Quesi

### Battles

None yet as of 2196

The **Kanorian invasion of Quesi** was a large-scale military action undertaken by the Kanorian Empire shortly after, and a result of, its occupation of Laronia in 2196. It was supported by an attempted naval blockade.

## Background

The Kanorian Crisis turned violent in 2196 when Imperial Kanoria invaded its neighbor to the northeast, the Republic of Laronia, under the guise of protecting ethnic Kanorian interests there. After an intense bloodletting, the Imperial Kanorian Army drove the elected Laronian government of Julian Sita into exile in the Polmarian Quesi Region. The government of Polmaria continued to recognize Sita's government as the legitimate administration of Laronia, rejecting the Kanorian-installed Laron Provincial Assembly.

Tensions between the Kanorians and Polmarians escalated, culminating in an imperial ultimatum that called for Julian Sita's extradition. Polmarian Prime Minister Alexander Silvas held a public speech rejecting this ultimatum and reaffirming his commitment to Sita's cause. Anticipating this response, the Kanorians moved their forces to the Quesi border and began conducting drills.

## Timeline

> "Additionally, the 4-9th Army Corps, as well as the Laron Army Corps under the supervision of our BPA comrades, have been ordered to conduct a police action inside the borders of the Polmarian Kuesi region so that they might extract and extradite the arch-criminal Julian Sita. Armed resistance from the Polmarian side will be met with force."
> — Kanorian ambassador to the ICO
>
>

The situation in the new Laron Province of the Kanorian Empire was messy. The so-called Laron Provincial Assembly, set up by imperial authorities, was a rubber stamp mechanism dominated by the BPA, and was thus boycotted by most native political parties. Many of these parties had been armed by the government during the invasion, but all of them were disgruntled and opposed the new regime.

The occupational government had to contend with acts of open defiance across the country, ranging from civil disobedience to armed rebellions. Some resistance movements were led by underground guerrilla commanders such as Irvin Petras, who had went into hiding after the fall of the country. Military revolution was not a viable large-scale project, however: the bulk of the Imperial Kanorian Army was stationed in occupied Laronia and could readily maneuver to suppress local resistance whenever it got too serious. Major urban centers had largely been pacified, as well, with the nerve center of the Kanorian occupation at Seden.

### Start of the assault

It was reported in late 2196 that the Quesi cities of Quendil, Verack, Nebarack, Arkos, and Port-Valos were under heavy aerial bombardment by the IKAF. The bombing campaign was reportedly extended across the entire breadth of the Quesi region soon after.
Jazberk (province)

**Jazberk** was a medium sized province in the Republic of Polmaria, having a population of 28 million people and being one of the founding members of the Second Republic. It was directly preceded by the Republic of Jazberk, and before that its territory was under the control of the Republic of Volaysia.
KNF Fesodia

The KNF Fesodia was a Karostainian Ravager class pre dreadnought that was built on Eredan, but then transferred to Karostain's Helinskan colony in 1917, two years after the KNF Beol.

## Sinking

The KNF Fesodia would famously be sunk in the only battleship versus battleship surface engagement to ever happen between two nations in any battle on Helinska after the cataclysm by the Volaysian battleship VNV Karlov East during the Battle of Kalsan Strait. Unlike the KNF Beol, the other Ravager class sunk during the battle, the KNF Fesodia would suffer heavy crew losses due to the more chaotic nature of her sinking. Out of her 2245 total crew, only 23 would survive.

The **Mandate of South Bargad** was a federation of 3 Prithanian colonies in South Bargad established in 1918 following the Bargad Revolt. The de-colonization of the region in 1954 was exceptionally ill-coordinated and violent, which tarnished the career of Labour prime minister Edward Graham and led to the 1954 Liabroni-Bargad War.

Lesovian Oligarchs

**Lesovian oligarchs** are business oligarchs in Lesovia who rapidly accumulated wealth in the 1930s and 40s due to Lesovian privatization of the economy and the Cadrilla regime's ending of all business and market regulations in 1933. Since the establishment of the Second Republic and privatization of the economy in mid 1933, privately owned Lesovia-based multinational corporations led to the rise of Lesovian oligarchs. Most of these are connected directly to the highest-ranked government officials, such as the president.

Liamist People's Party

The **Liamist People's Party** was a political party in New Jazberk. Originally led by Frevin Banyel, it was responsible for the independence of New Jazberk through the Szendrodvarke Riots. Later, after the death of the moderate Frevin Banyel, the L.P.P. became more radical, calling for New Jazberk to become a Lemetiate and preaching a return to "proper" Liamist ways, something that made them unpopular with many citizens of New Jazberk. On top of this, the successor to Frevin Banyel was a Foleshi Priest from the Longerian Sect named Hend Viskov. The unpopularity of the Longerians as well as the lack of charisma from Viskov's side led to the L.P.P. not winning a single election (for Prime Minister) since Frevin Banyel.
New Jazberk

Flag of New Jazberk

**New Jazberk** refered to the city of Szendrodvarke after it attained independence from the Republic of Volaysia. Later, after the 1942 Volaysian Collapse, New Jazberk controlled all the former territory of Jazberk as well as some Pelarosi and Cleovokian land.

## History

### Szendrodvarke Riots (May 3rd-5th 1929)

The Szendrodvarke Riots were largely organised by the Liamist People's Party and were headed by Frevin Banyel. Volaysian Riot troops were unable to stop the peaceful protestors, who (with advice from JCP officers) were able to seize the Governor's office and declare independence. Frevin Banyel was elected first Prime Minister of New Jazberk.

### Turmoil and a Lemetiate (July 1929)

After the election of a parliament, New Jazberk found itself divided into two factions- the pro Longerians and anti Longerians. After a series of shady assassinations, Valko Antiv and Gonvia Vandi, two major leaders of the Anti Longerian faction, were assassinated. Longerian priests were elected to replace them. Just days after the death of Gonvia Vandi, an emergency vote was conducted and New Jazberk officially turned from a Secular Republic into a Longerian Lemetiate.

### Loss of a Leader (August 1929)

In August, 1929, Prime Minister Frevin Banyel was assassinated by Lassov and Yaeliv of the Jabeyrack People's Party. In the elections that followed, Arbus Evin of the New Jazberk People's Party won the post of Prime Minister, but was arrested by Officer Cendiv, who assumed the title of Lemet and dissolved the parliament. His rule did not last, and JPP militants quickly freed New Jazberk and it returned to its roots of a secular republic.

### Grand Duchy of New Jazberk (September 1929)

In September 1929, Prime Minister Arbus proposed that a Calano monarch be installed in New Jazberk to oversee the parliament. He argued that this would increase New Jazberk's unity with the rest of the Holy Empire of Polmaria. This proposal passed, and Albert Gerson Calano was appointed to the post of "Grand Duke". This move also strengthened relations with the Barony of Kurvack and Republic of Kurisal, as Albert is the brother of Zofia Eretrusea Calano, Baroness of Kurvack.

Jom

Jom in 1925

**Jom** was an *Independent* politician in Jabeyrack and also served as a judge in the country from 1913 to 1921. In 1921, at the behest of Lassov- a member of the Margov from Western Yaelivin- Jom contested the 1922 elections in Nebarack as an anti-Grand Alliance candidate. Jom won against the incumbent Quesi People's Party MP with a vote share of 59%, and joined later supported the Gedshiv Regime and was appointed the Councilman of the Courts.

Jom was one of the more pro Polmarian politicians in Jabeyrack, and was a bitter opponent of the anti Polmarian Gedshiv on many occassions. When the Jabeyracki Civil War broke out, Jom- along with Councilman of Finances Avalov- backed the young General Valos against Gedshiv.

Jom's faction won the civil war, and under the new Valos Council of Six, Jom managed to gain a lot more leeway in his actions.

Jom's career was brought to an end when the entire Council of Six was either assassinated or gravely injured during Veeldin's Coup. Jom himself was not fortunate enough to survive, and was killed with an improvised explosive while presiding over a mundane court case.
Krasna

The Krasna are the fourth largest ethnicity in Lesovia. They are red-skinned Humans and follow Liamism, and because of this, they were heavily discriminated by the Lespians as well as other blue peoples. The Krasna are native to the Lesovian province of Krasnastan, and make up around 11% of Lesovia's population
Keith I

**Keith I**, called **the Great**, was King-Emperor of Karostain until 1802. He is mostly known for his military successes, the most famous of which was his defeat of the Yugolski Imperial Navy at Bernarbor, and for his modestly successful plan to establish a unified "Karostainian national identity." Other accomplishments include the conquest of Aleurusia, establishment of Karostainian fortress-states along the Yugolski coast in the context of the Ninety Years' War, and chartering of Karostainian expeditions to the distant land of Helinska.

He is sometimes cited as the greatest of the Karostainian monarchs, being the last of them to personally accompany troops in battle (during the Second Reinean Revolt). He was succeeded by his son, Tietrich I, who mainly followed up in Keith's cultural programs before succumbing to illness in the fifth year of his rein.
Great Fleet of Salbath

The **Great Fleet of Salbath** was a combined flotilla of the O'Leary Armed Forces in 1928. It was made up of all three major military formations of the Union of O'Lear: the 5th Naval Legion under Erik Sorrel, the 8th Naval Legion under Bastien Baxter (who also served as *de jure* supreme commander), and the 13th Naval Legion under Holt Frederiksen. It formed off the coast of Salbath, and defeated the Treaty of Tradition in the Battle of the Warmwater Chain.

It numbered a total of 109 vessels, including 89 combat ships (11 of which were capital-class) and 20 support ships.

Laron River

*This article is about the pre-Cataclysm geographical feature. For the post-Cataclysm geographical feature, see Laron Channel.*

The **Laron River** was a river that flowed from the northernmost part of Airolian Helinska--now the Republic of Laronia--, along the states of Polmaria, Ionia, and the HMOFS, ending within the Laron Basin. It was a hugely influential trade hub that provided immense wealth to settlements along its coastline, making it a target of numerous wars.

The development of Jabeyrack was largely defined by trade along the Laron River, pronounced most especially through its iteration as the Jabeyracki Republic of 1507 to 1825.

During the Cataclysm, the fault lines running along the Laron River and other parts of the continent would roughly simultaneously begin to shift significantly, expanding into the modern-day Laron Channel.
Lucian I

**Lucian I** was the fifteenth King-Emperor of Karostain. He is remembered for his disastrous military and economic programs, which included a string of defeats in the Ninety Years' War resulting in the loss of the final Karostainian fortress-states along the Yugolski littoral and a failed invasion of Lesovia. He was also unsuccessful in his attempts to expand Karostainian influence abroad through the use of foreign policy, such as during the Kanikawan–Kon Thiet War.

To finance his disastrous wars he levied high taxes on the Karostainian colonies in Helinska.

Upon his death, there were serious discussions on the abolition of the Karostainian monarchy and its conversion into a federation of equal states. However, these did not get anywhere.

The **Kherfiyyan Liberation War** was a conflict that lasted from 1907 to 1911, during which the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah, as well as various republicans and former Ionian Rebels under the Kherfiyyan Rebel Alliance fought to liberate the northern portions of Kherfiyyah and bring them back under the fold of the Kherfiyyan state, taking them back after several decades.

By the conclusion of the war, the Sultanate of Kherfiyyah- headed by Sultan Mehred IV- had managed to bring Kherfiyyah to territorial might not seen in decades, earning him and Grand Vizier Abdul Lateef El-Ameen an impeccable reputation and legacy as uniters as heroes.

## History

### Dissolved

1992

The **Laronian Junta** was a right-wing nationalist military regime instituted in the Republic of Laronia for a brief period from 1991 to 1992. It was led by discontented officers within the Laronian Army who opposed the ruling Laronian Liberation Committee. To build support, the junta pushed claims on the Quesi region, enraging Polmaria, as well as the Republic of the Fish and Foot Islands (from its scheduled independence on January 1st, 1992). This latter claim drew the ire of Kanoria, which was at this time quite sensitive to perceived reductions in its Central Helinskan prestige ever since the Imperial Conference of 1972. If Laronia invaded Fish Island just a week after it was released from its status as a Kanorian protectorate, the Kanorians would look silly. As a result, Emperor Osea II guaranteed the independence of Fish Island.

In response, the Laronian Junta invaded the Dullsberg Province of Kanoria. They were quickly defeated in detail by the aging Kanorian officer Karl Josef Nachtegaal and fled back across the border. Pursued by a combined force of Kanorian and now Polmarian armies, the Junta was cornered in Sedenia and forced to resign. Faced with the opportunity to (re)build their presence in Central Helinska, neither Kanoria nor Polmaria wanted to withdraw their forces even after achieving their military goals.

This began the long and troubled period known as the Joint Laronian Occupation, or JLO, in which Kanoria and Polmaria competed for local influence, destabilizing the country and beginning a generations-long push for reform that culminated in a civil war.
Lemetiate

A **Lemetiate** is a form of government unique to Liamism. Most Lemetiates are ruled by a Lemet, but the specifics of the government vary from Lemetiate to Lemetiate. Many Lemetiates in history were theocracies, often holy councils, however there have been some exceptions and secular governments who have taken the name of Lemetiate.

Historically, Lemetiates were primarily a state that existed in the early medieval and colonial eras and often looked upon as outdated by the turn of the 20th century. However, some persisted nearly into the 21st century, and Liamist revolutions calling for theocracies or pseudo-theocracies did emerge across the world in the 1920s and early 1930s.

Katavian Oil Baronies

The **Katavian Oil Baronies** or **Katavian Trade Baronies** was the term for a collection of despotic rulers in Katavia post-Cataclysm. The six 'Barons' often went to war with each other but retained several key similarities, namely the widespread use of forced labor and slavery among all of the rulers. Despite the region's longtime division between hundreds of different tribes and civilizations, the uniform enslavement of nearly all of the natives by mostly foreign rulers sparked nationalist sentiment amongst the inhabitants of Katavia, leading to the Brothers' Revolution and the creation of a singular Free State of Katavia.
