Francia

**Francia** was a state in western Europe in Neo-Europe and the Commonwealth of Neo-Europe. It bordered Basque, Iberia and Catalonia to the southwest, Frisia and Prussia to the northeast and Romia to the southeast. Following the creation of the Human Commonwealth,Francia , like all states of Neo-Europe, was incorporated into the Pan-Humanist union.

## Creation

Francia had a difficult formation, with both supporters and opponents in and out of France, which provoked the **French Civil War.** Eventually, the pro-Neo-Europe side, the Integrationists, won and France was incorporated. Later, the French-speaking parts of Belgium and Switzerland were added, as was Monaco. A notable exception is France's oversees territories; the Nationalists were allowed to keep them following a treaty. This soon became the independent nation of French Guyana, as most other territories were slowly sold off to other countries, such as various Realm states.

## Organisation

Like all states, Francia was divided into **Departments**. These largely mirror France's own Departments before integration. Each Department, as well as major cities, elect a Mayor who manages the local issues. Departments are mostly equivalent to France's representation in the Neo-European Commons, although some are divided into two or even three. Furthermore, each Department is divided into several Constituencies, which gives them representation in the Francian Assembly.

## Demographics

### Ethnicities

White ethnic French make up around 84% of the population, with Black French at 13%. The rest includes other European ethnicites, Arabs, Indians and Turkic peoples. However, these figures are not totally accurate due to the large amount of intermixing; at least 30% of 'White French' claim at least one black/Arab ancestor in the past five generations.

### Languages

Francian is the regional official language and lingua franca. Despite this, especially in the north, an Anglisch-based creole is quite commonly spoken, known as **Franglisch.** Likewise, Anglisch is used in some settings and a large proportion of the population can speak it.

Breton has survived, albeit barely, as a very small minority language. The native speakers are in their low thousands and, despite Federal attempts to preserve the last actively spoken Celtic language, numbers have continued to decline.

### Religion

Francia is, overall, quite an irreligious state, at 68% identifying with no religion, with significant minorities of Christians (Catholics) and Muslims, at 14% and 16% respectively. The remaining 2% are formed of various other religons, from Judaism, to Roman Paganism, to Uberlebanism.

## Culture

### Cuisine

French Cuisine is regarded highly throughout Neo-Europe; the national cuisine is perhaps most inspired by what the state has to offer.

### Drinks

Various wines are still consumed, albeit less commonly. Vineyards remain common, and wine is one of Francia's most prized exports.

## Relationships

Francia has somewhat of a rivalry with both Britannia and Prussia, although this is mainly a less serious thing. Regardless, jokes about the two rival states are common.
Karl Becker

State Portrait of Premier Becker, 2047

```
Prev Adam Bronstein | Next Isaac Powell

```

**Karl Frederich Becker** (1979-2072) was a German Politician who served as the second Premier of Neo-Europe from 2043 to 2048. Before that he served as German Minister of Culture from 2026 to 2029.

## Early Life

Becker was born in East Germany in 1979 to Ursula (Nee Bran) (1953-2038) and Sebastian Becker (1946-2044), who both owned a bakery, where he worked until his early twenties.

Spending his childhood in late East Germany somewhat shaped his views, especially his notion of anti-communism.

In 2001, he passed from the University of Bonn with a degree in Mathematics.

## Political Carrier

Becker had significant influence in Germany in the 2030s as a major persuasive figure, campaigning against the military government.

By 2033, he became involved with Wolfgang Von Stuttgart's Optimatium Party and was the de-facto leader in Germany while Wolfgang was away in Britain.

In 2039, he joined the Federal Cabinet and served as Secretary for Defense; in this role, he was quite influential in the French Civil War, especially regarding funding, although he made an effort to step back from military tactics.

## Premiership

He became Premier upon Adam Bronstein's resignation in 2043, at Emperor Wolfgang's request. It is believed this was partially to show Wolfgang's gratitude, giving this position to a trustworthy supporter.

He drafted both The Treaty of Bern and The Pan-Arabic Acts.

He was succeeded by Chief Treasurer Isaac Powell in the 2048 election, the first public vote for Premiership. He resigned from the Cabinet later that year after a brief stint as Educational Minister.

## Post Premiership and Later Life

He retired from politics altogether in 2051, resigning from his Commons seat, and set up the Becker Institute, a charity providing support to bereaved families.

## Death

Becker died of natural causes in 2072, being survived by his wife and children. He was given a state funeral, with Emperor Wolfgang giving his eulogy,

## Personal Life

Becker was raised agnostic and never considered himself Christian or spiritual.

He married Eva Schneider (1983-2078) in 2006, and they had a son, Frederich (2007-2102) and a daughter, Anastasia (2012-2119)
National Party

The **National Party,** officially the **National Party of Neo-Europe,** sometimes known as **NP,** is a right wing political party in Neo-Europe.

## History

The National Party is a right-wing Party which was founded in 2089. Opponents have called it 'the successor to the Optimatium Party' due to a similar political position. However, they believe they have more appeal to the working class than the Optimatium Party. They remained in opposition until 2110, where they gained a huge majority in the Commons and the leader, Alexander Mikos, became Premier. His premiership saw another difference with Optimatium emphasis on regional identity. The first three Premiers have emerged from the Party are Mikos, Carlton and Van Helsing. All three have faced some level of national crisis and all led Neo-Europe through dark times - the Civil War and the Third World War. In the 2 1 305 onwards, they began to be less in favour of state capitalism, privatizing several industries. Some argued this was out of fear of appearing Communist which is significant given the National Party's unofficial stance as 'Anti-Communists'.

They headed the Monarchist Bloc before and during WWlll and were supported by the Nordican Government.

They have so far been in power from 2110-2140, and again unofficially from 2145/officially from 2150 until 2162, and again from 2166 until 2171. In the 2150s a divide began to occur many disliked the more moderate policies of Van Helsing, especially Konstantin Smirnov, whose faction broke off in 2160 to form the Orthodox Party.

## Key Members

### Premiers

The National Party has provided the most Premiers of any elected party, at four, and the second most Premiers for any party (so including the Optimatium Party). The Premiers are as follows:

* Alexander Mikos
* Alois Carron
* Catherine Van Helsing
* Benito Brossi

Other members:

## Legacy

Mikos continues to rank as one ofthe nation's favourite Premiers, in part due to his assassination. The Nationals have proved themselves capable of compromise, working in coalitions with various parties, from Fascists to Liberals.
Isaac Powell

State Portrait of Premier Powell, 2052

```
Prev Karl Becker | Next Frederich Gruber

```

**James Isaac Powell** (1997-2071) was a British politician who served as the third Premier of Neo-Europe from 2048 until his resignation in 2061.

He is remembered for consolidating Neo-Europe's early years and leading Neo-Europe through the Anarchist Crisis.

## Early Life

Powell was born into a middle class family in Liverpool, to Jonathan (1968-2047) and Kathleen (Nee Simpson; 1975-2073), as the eldest of three boys.

Powell attended Oxford University, gaining a degree in Economics, following which he became an accountant .

## Entry Into Politics

He joined the Optimatium Party in 2034, and was part of Wolfgang Von Stuttgart's inner circle for a time, advising him, especially with financial issues. He formally entered the Federal Cabinet in 2041, first as Undersecretary to the Treasury, before becoming Chief Treasurer in 2043, a position he served until 2048.

## Premiership

The 2048 Premiership Election saw the incumbent Karl Becker fight for his position against Jonas Schmidt and Michael Webb following the triggering of a leadership bid by Webb. Powell entered later, being the only other eligible figure in the Cabinet. While not necessary, Emperor Wolfgang thought it best to have a public vote for Premier following victories in Europe. Throughout the campaign, Becker lacked enthusiasm, which brought Powell forward, with him eventually being successfully elected as the third Premier of Neo-Europe.

He oversaw the purchase of Hong Kong in 2048, visiting the city in person to do so.

### Anarchist Crisis

Powell took on a major role throughout the crisis, ordering restrictions to be placed as soon as trouble was heard. However, he and much of the Federal Cabinet were willing to go further than necessary, even declare a civil war, which the Emperor fully opposed. Wolfgang soon stated that if they declare a Civil War, he would dissolve the Cabinet and give himself all their powers; Powell and the Cabinet stepped back in line. Tensions with the Emperor continued for the duration of the crisis and the two never properly reconciled.

There was a minor scandal that surfaced in 2060, which reported that he was using public funds for his own gain; he subsequently resigned in March 2061, although he also stated he had served 'long enough' as Premier and had fallen out of favour with the Emperor following the Anarchist Crisis.

## Post-Premiership

Due to the scandal, he remained mostly out of the public eye for the final decade of his life, moving full-time to his villa in Francia in 2067. He attended several national events in the 2060s.

## Personal Life

A lifelong bachelor, he never married, though it was often speculated he was a closeted homosexual.

This came to public light in the mid-2060s, as it was discovered Powell lived with his partner Edouard Brussard (2012-2118), in his Francian Villa.

In his final years, Powell grew weaker and developed a malignant cancer which eventually resulted in his death in 2071, aged 74.
Ekrim Tekin (disambiguation)

'Ekrim Tekin' may refer to multiple things on this wiki.

## Ekrim Tekin Proper

So far, the true 'Ekrim Tekin' can be divided into three:

1. Ekrim Tekin
2. Ekrim Tekin (Clone Copy)
3. Ekrim Tekin (Female Copy)

The first refers to the original, naturally-born and lived Ekrim Tekin who fought in the Third World War and ascended to Neo-Europe's brutal dictator.

The second refers to his notable clone who was implanted with a copy of the original's conscience, thereby serving as a continuation.

Similarly, the third, this time a female clone, was given a duplicate of the Clone Copy's mind, although this time it is more complicated as they both live simultaneously (although most of the memories of the Clone Copy were destroyed due to a radical plan by Tekin where he seemingly allowed himself to be captured by the Domolaki.

## Other 'Ekrim Tekins'

Ekrim Tekin has had thousands of clones of himself. Some called themselves 'Ekrim Tekin,' others did not.
CEHN

**The Confederation of Extraterrestrial Human Nations,** known by its acronym CEHN, pronounced *Sen,* was a short lived breakaway state that existed in the 2220s from much of Neo-Europe's extraterrestrial territories, prominently Mars, Callisto and Titania. It was led by Cassia Tstatsos.

## Member States

The whole of the Neo-European Colonies on Mars were members, as well as:

* Buzlu, Titania
* Tekinkara, Callisto (Renamed as Honestus)
* Grisea, Moon (for a short period)

Map Lore Wiki Vandalism

The following is a complete list and breakdown of times that the Map Lore Wiki has been intentionally vandalised by it's own creators. This sort of Vandalism is mostly done by TheBlazingEmpire, often in the form of alternate articles of an actual Map Lore topic, however some have impacted the general use of the wiki.

* GUISS pages will occasionally link somewhere unexpected. This results from a series of edits from the 15th of June 2021 to a number of GUISS related articles without any Hyperlinks. TheBlazingEmpire "gifted" these links to Secretspy, only for him to not notice that the links were intentionally wrong. As a result, Some of the incorrect links persist to this day.
* The page Checoslovakia is a clone of the Czechoslovakia page altered to reference Formula 1 Driver Sergio Perez, due to his nickname "Checo" sounding similar to the Neo-European state. A number of aspects of the page are altered to references of Perez, including the flag. The Page was created on the 30th November 2021.
* Cassia Tstatsos was an incorrect spelling of Cassia Tsatsos that persisted into its wiki page. The Incorrectly named article was migrated to the correctly named page on the 17th March 2022. It then existed as an Orphaned Redirect page, meaning no pages linked to it, and that once accessed, a user would be immediately rerouted to the correct page. The "Beanz edit" of this page has it's origins in a text conversation between TheBlazingEmpire and one of his friends, in which the phrase "Cool Beans" was spelled incorrectly, and thus, autocorrected to Von Beans. This prompted a meme posted to the GML discord on the 7th September 2022, which was then referenced by a satirical what if, among several posted to the What if Channel by Jakenobi 82 days later, and was the first time Cassia Tsatsos became implicated in the "Wolfgang Von Beanz" joke. The Tstatsos page was discovered by TheBlazingEmpire on the 30th November, and the edit published the following day. It recursively iterates on itself, after a section dubbed "Ascendence", becoming more disrupted as it recurs. The page references numerous things commonly referenced by TheBlazingEmpire, including Map Lore's predecessor Cursed Maps. The page's Hyperlinks become increasingly broken, redirecting externally to Wikipedia articles and YouTube videos related to the concept of Beans. The page ends with a "Paedophilia Accusations" section, a reference to multiple Neo-Europe articles, particularly presidents in the Wolfgangian era.
Belarus

Belarus, an autonomous region of Nordica, is found in Eastern Europe, and was formerly independent. It joined Nordica in 2037, and gained autonomy from Sudriland following the **Anarchist Crisis**. It borders Sudriland to the North, Smolensk to the Northeast, GUISS (RSS, SSEU) to the Southeast, and Neo-Europe (Prussia, Trans-Poland) to the South.

Official State Portrait of Premier Rothschild, 2065

Lloyd Nathan Rothschild (2003-2096) was a British Politician and former banker who served as the fifth Premier of Neo-Europe from 2064 to 2074, and Commons Deputy for Shropshire and Herefordshire from 2050 to 2074. He also served as Health Minister in Frederich Gruber's cabinet from 2062-64, and as Chief Secretary to the Treasury under Isaac Powell from 2055 to 2061.

## Early Life

Rothschild was born to affluent parents **Nathan** (1967-2039), a banker, and **Caroline,** nee Gilbey, (1971-2057) in Portsmouth, as the second-eldest of four children.

Rothschild lived in Britannia during his childhood, and attended Oxford University, where he read Biological Sciences.

Like his father, Rothschilld initially sought a career in banking, having moderate success there as a Chief Secretary of the World Bank.

## Entering Politics

Rothschild, an Optimatium Party member since the early 2040s, decided to campaign for a position in the Commons in 2050, representing Shropshire and Herefordshire. Following the 2055 election, Premier Powell selected Rothschild as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, the second most prestigious position within the Treasury, second only to the Chief Treasurer. He remained in the position until Powell's resignation, seeing him a backbencher for several months. He returned to the Cabinet during Gruber's first reshuffle, seeing him be given the position of Health Minister. Rothschild initially refused the position and vyed to become Chief Treasurer, though Gruber insisted that role was taken and cited his biology degree as a reason for being Health Minister. Rothschild reluctantly obliged.

## Premiership

Following his predescessor Gruber's resignation, Rothschild was selected as Premier.

[TBA]

## Later Life

### Paedophilia Accusations

Several individuals, mainly males, accused Rothschild of sexually assaulting them as children. Emperor Wolfgang, in part not wanting the hassle of another Premier scandal, placed a gagging order on the matter and personally compensated the victims, who agreed to remain quiet. However, Wolfgang did eventually agree for an investigation, which was limited by the state bureaucracy, as well as Rothschild's powerful status.

## Death

Lloyd Rothschild died peacefully in his own home in Cardiff on 11 September 2096. Proposals of a state funeral were snubbed by Emperor Franz, who claimed he had 'always felt uncomfortable while around the man. And with the allegations.... No. No. I will not allow it.' Despite that, a moderately large funeral was still held and Franz made a brief visit.

## Personal Life

### Wider Paedophilia Accusations

Following Rothschild's death, dozens more individuals came forward to talk about the abuse they faced due to him, victims who at the time were sometimes as young as four. Emperor Franz criticised his late father for his complacency, and it showed the scandal went far deeper than anyone would have expected.
Proxima B

Proxima B, known to the Domolaki as **Narungark** (literally *The Place of Forgotten Despair)* is an **exoplanet** in the orbit of the nearest star, **Proxima Centauri**. The planet is unusual as it defies a number of expectations about it. It is difficult to enter the planet's atmosphere, owing to strange interference, believed to be some kind of force field. Likewise, the planet should be tidally locked, and have little atmosphere due to radiation from its host star, but doesn't. In addition, strange structures have been found on the planet's surface.

## Expeditions

so far, three human expeditions have occurred to the exoplanet, one by exiled CEHN Leaser Cassia Tsatsos, and two during the space race, from Neo-Europe and Nordica.

### Tsatsos' Expedition

Tsatsos was the first to arrive at the exoplanet in 2247, although her crew were ravaged by their attempts to enter the atmosphere, and pressured by illness. It was at this point where she was discovered by the Domolaki, who initiated her into their group, extending her lifespan and curing her of illness in the process. The wreckage of her ship would be discovered by both later expeditions.

### Space Cruiser Hayat

The crew of Hayat became the next to successfully penetrate the atmosphere. They arrived in late 2253, finding Tsatsos' ship in the orbit of Proxima B. although initially unable to get through, a later attempt the following year would prove successful, although not without a heavy cost to life.

### Hagall Interstellar Vessel

The crew of the Hagall were the third to attempt a landing on the exoplanet in late 2254. Owing to communication issues between the Hayat and Neo-Europe, they were not warned about the danger they would be in when they attempted to land. In doing so, their ship was badly damaged, and much of their crew died as a result of the impact, or the depressurisation of the Aft section of the ship. What was left of the crew set off for Proxima E, before crash-landing on the exoplanet. They would make a successful landing a few years later, manned by two AI-Androids. They would encounter both the saqzodur and the Domolaki. They found the assimilated Imelda Marcos, and Peter Stoker before returning to Proxima E.

## Flora and Fauna

### The 'Saqzodur'

The native race (most likely a group of closely related species and subspecies) on the planet is the crustacean-like **Saqzodur'*. This is a Domolaki name for them, and can be transliterated as* 'Those that consume the blood of our children.**

## Domolaki Colonies

The Domolaki have had a long-lasting presence on the planet, with scouting trips first taking place in the 2020s, over 200 years before any human mission arrived.
New York

New York, a state of Nordica, is found in Central Laurentia. It was a former part of The United States. It was ceded to Nordica in 2050, following the **Treaty of Halifax**. It was admitted in 2068. It shares a border with New Britain to the Northeast, and Delaware.

## Creation

New York was created as a state in 2068, although was part of a protectorate of Nordica prior to admission. Its admission was delayed by a dispute with the rest of its protectorate, which would become Delaware. It became a protectorate following the joint invasion of America by Nordica, Neo-Europe, and GUASS. It inherited Long Island, and an area around New York City.

## Organisation

New York, like all states, is governed by it's **Assembly**, in charge of much of the day to day operations of the state, with only a few notable exceptions. It's Assembly is around average size, with 104 members, with about 1 member per 113 thousand people. This correlates to 12 **State Representatives** in the Federal Government, leaving New York slightly over-represented. This gives New York more influence than the states of New Britain, Ingria, and Novaland, but less influence than the states of Denmark, Sweden, Delaware, and Huron.

Unlike most states, New York is further subdivided into Communities, of which there are 7. As it is considered a **city state**, it has no Municipal Areas

### Communities

* Jonker
* Broncksland
* Manhattan
* Brooklyn
* Queensborough
* Nassau
* Southold
Ingria

Ingria, a state of Nordica, is found on The Baltic coast, and was a former part of GUISS. It was sold to Nordica in 2112 and was expanded by the **Treaty of Moscow**. It was admitted in 2116. It borders Suomi and Karelia to the North, Volgoda to the East, and Novaland, Velikiya to the South, and Estonia to the Southwest.

## Creation

Ingria was created in 2216 following the purchase of land from GUISS. At the time, ingria only held the southwestern most portion of it's modern state, gaining the rest, including the city of Petersburg from GUISS in the 2150 Treaty of Moscow, at the end of the Third world war.

## Organisation

Ingria, like all states, is governed by it's **Assembly**, in charge of much of the day to day operations of the state, with only a few notable exceptions. It's Assembly is above the average size, with 111 members, with about 1 member per 94 thousand people. This correlates to 10 **State Representatives** in the Federal Government, leaving Ingria slightly under-represented. This gives Ingria the same influence as Novaland and New Britain.

Ingria is further divided into Counties and Municipal Areas, of which there are 10 of the former and 4 of the latter.

Prev [Title Created] | Next Radhika Siva

```

**Jagvir Agan Singh** (2084-2173) was a Punjabi politician who served as the first Premier of the Commonwealth of India, coming from the state of Punjab, from its creation in 2135 until his resignation in 2157. He demonstrated his strengths in the ten years leading up to the Third World War, and during it - showing he was capable and served their national interests. Prior to this, he briefly served as the third Governor of Punjab from 2119 to 2120, and was a leading activist for greater Indian autonomy *within* Neo-Europe, rather than secession.

He was a founding member of the **Ekata Party,** but was federally associated with the National Party too.

## Early Life

Singh was born into a Sikh family in Patiala, then part of the Dependency of Punjab in 2084, to Harish Singh (2047-2121) and Nirmal Kaur (2051-2129), as the third of five children.

Singh studied Law at the University of Cologne, graduating in 2105. This gave him a taste of Europe, and helped contribute to his ideals around a Federated network of states.

## Political Career

Singh was first elected to the Punjabi Assembly in 2116 as a member of the ruling Unity faction, a selection of Punjabis who sought unity with Neo-Europe.

### Governor of Punjab

Singh became Governor of Punjab by default in 2119 following the resignation of the previous Governor, Ahmad Yunis, but announced he would not be seeking a full term in the forthcoming election, deciding to

## Premiership

### Resignation

He resigned in 2157 following twenty-two years as Premier, content with his achievements.

## Political Views

Singh was a strong proponent of Indian unity, albeit a unity based along cultural, rather than religious lines. Singh spoke at length around Jawaharlal Nehru being a major inspiration for him.

Although part of the campaign for greater autonomy across India, his personal views were not unlike those of the National Party of Neo-Europe, especially given his views around the importance of culture.

## Personal Life

Singh was a non-practicing Sikh in his later years, but continued to conform to the religion culturally.

He married the Prussian, **Eva Gosling** (2091-2188), in 2124 while he was living in Berlin. They had two children together - **Jagvir** (2126-2232) and **Angela** (2129-2198). His son would become an actor based in Indomalaya, where he was often cast as the 'Indian stock character' in their movies, while his daughter would pursue a political career, only to be executed on Tekin's orders following a failed uprising in Lahore in 2198.

## Death

Singh himself would die in 2173, following complications after contracting the Scavravirus. He was given a state funeral in Delhi, though due to the restrictions by the virus physical attendance was restricted. It was nonetheless broadcast throughout India, and Neo-Europe as a whole.

The Socialist State of Iranian-Azerbaijan was created after the 2150 Moscow treaty and was seen as an successor state to the Socialist State of Iran. 4 months after the treaty was signed there were major debates on what to do with the 4 remaning states of Iran (GUISS)- West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan, Ardebil and Gilan. Some suggested incoperating the states into the Socialist State of Azerbaijan, creating a 'greater Azerbajian' but in the end this was rejected and the SSIA was established in 2150.

Socialist State of Idaho (SSI)

The Socialist State of Idaho is a state of GUISS and a member of the Socialist Union of North America that was founded in 2055 after the USA's collapse and GUISSan occupation. The SSI borders Marxgrad and Oregon to the west, Neveda to the south west, Utah to the south and Greater Louisiana to the east.

### Geography

Idaho is a Rocky Mountain state with abundant natural resources and scenic areas. The state has snow-capped mountain ranges, rapids, vast lakes and steep canyons. The waters of the Snake River run through Hells Canyon, the deepest gorge in the United States. Shoshone Falls falls down cliffs from a height greater than Niagara Falls.
Tekin Family

The **Tekin** family, sometimes known as the **Tekin Dynasty,** is an originally-Turkish family best known for being the paternal family of Supreme Marshal Ekrim Tekin.

## History

The Tekin family has its origins in Ottoman Turkey, with several possible origins, including meaning 'Prince' and 'lucky'.

Ekrim Tekin claimed he had descent from both Muhammad and Genghis Khan.

## Members

*See also Family of Ekrim Tekin*

**Recep Tekin** (2034-2123) was a well-known actor who starred in many Turkish-language films, and was Ekrim Tekin;s great-grandfather. The author and women's rights activist **Sinem Tekin** (2101-2189) was a distant cousin of Ekrim Tekin's, as was the British journalist **Elizabeth Tekin** (2096-2175).

## Relations to Other Families and Additional Ancestry

Ekrim Tekin's mother, Katerina Aksoy was half-Greek on her mother's side, from the **Kypianos** family. Her grand-uncle, **Dmitris Kypianos** (2046-2149) was a Grecian politician who was the Governor of Grecia from 2104-2113. Several of his grandchildren were killed in Tekin's purge. Through Kypianos, a connection can be made to the Greco-Iberian Papalazarou family, whose most notable members were Supreme Marshal Hector Papalazarou and his father, the musician **Justinian '*El Griego*' Papalazarou**.

Through Tekin's paternal grandmother, **Birce Tekin** (Nee Yousuf; 2068-2163) the Tekin family has Albanian and Arab (specifically Omani) ancestry. She was born to a Turkian mother and a half-Omani, half-ethnic Albanian father, **Edi Yousuf** (2041-2135), who himself was born in the Albanian region of south-western Slavo-Balkia. Through Yousuf's Arab side, the Tekin family descent to Muhammad can be identified, and if his Albanian side is traced further back, some evidence of Jewish, Russian and Spanish ancestry can be found.

The Tekin family has left an immense impact on Neo-Europe/The Human Commonwealth and the world at large. Owing to Tekin's role in major events throughout the twenty-second and twenty-third centuries and his legacy, it can be seen as one of the most influential families in history, easily rivalling the Stuttgarts.
Timeline of Events

This is the full timeline of events, from 2020 (the point of diversion) until the present, by decade.

## 2020s

The 2020s saw almost every nation be hit by several strains of the Coronavirus, with sometimes catastrophic results putting health services at breaking point. As a consequence of this, economies began to collapse and political upheaval became more common. Fascism, monarchies and military dictatorships returned, but so did revolutions and socialist sentiments. Economic Blocs like the European Union collapsed due to this pressure.

## 2030s

*Main article 2030s*

The instability of the 2030s continued, but this was soon followed by an era of order in Europe, with the promises of guidance from Wolfgang Von Stuttgart as well as the growing influence of the Nordic Council. Nations began to merge for the sake of security, so this decade gave rise to the likes of **The Union of Anglo-Germany** in 2034, the Federal Republic of Nordica in 2036 and **Czechoslovakia** in 2037. The seeds of socialism are set in Russia by 2039, with the '**Bloody Struggle**' beginning.

## 2040s

*Main article 2040s*

The 2040s saw the ideals of socialism spreading through Asia and beyond, as well as Europe being dominated by Nordica and Neo-Europe, the successor to Anglo-Germany. Other rival nation-blocs, such as Nuovo Romia, were defeated and integrated into Neo-Europe.

This period also saw the expansion of the European powers beyond the continent, with Neo-Europe taking the Maghreb and Nordica seeing opportunities in the Atlantic Ocean and the East Coast of America.

Importantly, this decade saw the downfall of the United States, from a once-renowned superpower to a laughing stock. It was isolated from its longterm allies and suffered a series of embarrassments, including the French and Japanese Civil Wars as well as the Second October Revolution.

In 2049, a union of Asian Communist states - GUASS - was established following a bloody struggle throughout Eurasia, cementing the rise of the three superstates of the world.

## 2050s

*Main article 2050s*

Despite opposing ideologies, the 2050s were in many ways a period of cooperation.

The decade saw the culmination of America's decline, seeing a brief era of ineffective opposition against the new powers of Europe, ending with it's division between the Three superstates.

In 2055, The Anarchist crisis began, engulfing most of Europe in turmoil, as well as causing the Nordican Civil War. The following years would see GUISS enter it's isolation, from which it would not truly emerge until the early 22nd century.

## 2060s

*Main article 2060s*

The 2060s were mostly a period of consolidation for the Three Superstates, with them incorporating territory taken in the prior decades into their respective spheres.

The decade would also see the unification of Indomalaya, from three smaller realm affiliated nations.
Optimatium Party

The **Optimatium Party** was a former major political party in Neo-Europe and, for a time, the only legal and state party.

## History

The Optimatium Party was the state party of Neo-Europe from its foundation until 2089. For this reason, 7 Premiers are from this party. Founded by Wolfgang Von Stuttgart himself in 2030, it had the primary aim of overseeing the unification of Britain and Germany following the collapse of the European Union.

Several members of former conservative parties such as the British Consenatives, the German CDU and the French National Rally - integrated with the Optimatium Party, and several influential figures switched affiliation to the party, such as former British Pnme Minister and later Governor Nigel Johnson (formerly of the British Democrats).

Wolfgang summarised the party as '***Equality, Tradition and Stability***,' which later became its slogan. However, from the mid 2070s, as Wolfgang took less responsibility, Factionalism began to occur within the party, with two main groups of 'Rightists' and 'Leftists', divided on the level of traditionalism the party represented. Along with growing demands for true democracy, many saw the system was in need of changing. Wolfgang continuously insisted that once Neo- Europe is stable, party restrictions would be lifted

## Ideology

Ideologically, it supported a mixed economy of State Capitalism but was socially right wing, as can be seen in its anti-mass immigration policies and the 'Anglo-German supremacy.' However, some actions can be considered progressive, such as the 2067 'De-centralisation of Religion.' As Wolfgang founded the party, it initially matched his ideology perfectly, although his role naturally reduced over time.

## Legacy

Only a year after his death, his son Franz left and stripped the Optimatium Party of its privilege as the State Party, allowing the formation of new parties for the 2090 Commons Election. The Party was elected 56 Seats, and with each election this continued to dedine until 2 1 10, when no seats were recorded. With great reluctance, the Party officially ceased operations in 2112. In the two decades following the First Amendment, some famer Optimatium officials joined either the ideologically similar National Partv or the more extreme Fascists.

Persia

**Persia** was a state of The Commonwealth of India within Neo-Europe. A former region of GUISS acquired as a result of the Treaty of Moscow, it bordered the Indian state of the Punjab the east, the Commonwealth of Turkestan to the north, Levantia, part of the Commonwealth of Arab and Maghrebi States to the east, Arabia to the south, and GUISS to the north. As with all states of Neo-Europe, it was absorbed into the Human Commonwealth following its creation in 2278.
Mariana

Mariana, a state of Indomalaya, is a group of Islands in the Western Pacific Ocean. It has been a part of Indomalaya since it's formation, but was a former part of the United States. it was ceded to **Malaya** in 2050, following the **Treaty of Halifax**. It was incorporated into Indomalaya in 2065, but was a territory until (), when it was admitted as a state.
Botten

Botten, a state of Nordica, is found in Northern Scandinavia. It has been a part of Nordica since its formation. It borders Saami to the East, Fjordland to the Northwest, and Sweden to the South. It also shares a divided, man made island with Pohjanmaa.

## Creation

Botten was **created as a state in 2036, upon the foundation of Nordica**. It inherited the far North of Sweden, Finland, and Norway, however, the land gained from Finland and Norway were ceded to Saami upon it's admittance in 2062. Initial plans for the **2182 States Act** would have increased the size of Botten drastically, however, a different plan would see the creation of Götaland instead. It was this plan that was chosen to divide Sweden, and thus, Botten remained unchanged.

## Organisation

Botten, like all states, is governed by it's **Assembly**, in charge of much of the day to day operations of the state, with only a few notable exceptions. It's Assembly is below the average size, with 86 members, with about 1 member per 40 thousand people. This correlates to 3 **State Representatives** in the Federal Government, leaving Botten slightly under-represented. This gives Botten the same influence as Hushi, Vinland, and Bruniland.

Botten is further divided into Counties and Municipal Areas, of which there are 7 of the former and 2 of the latter.

### Counties

* Västerbotten
* Norrbotten
* Kiruna
* Arvidsjaur
* Lycksele-Malå
* Vilhelmina
* Storuman

### Municipal Areas

* Umeå
* Luleå

## Relations

In spite of the typical relations between Finnic and Swedish states, Botten has extremely strong ties to Pohjanmaa across the Gulf of Bothnia, even building a man made island solely so they could share a border. (In the past, they had an overland border before the admission of Saami) The two states have a similar sense of values, infrastructure and culture, owing to somewhat of an isolated position from the core of Nordica on the Southern Baltic. This is a somewhat controversial position in the face of the larger rivalry, propagated by the larger states to the South.

Although their close bond with Pohjanmaa is seen as a sticking point by the other Swedish states, Botten maintains very close ties with Sweden and Götaland, owing to a shared culture and history. Sweden in particular is important, with Botten being fairly reliant on them economically.

Like most Scandinavian states, Botten has an affinity for Norway and Fjordland, mainly a result of hundreds of years of history. In the present, the rugged landscapes aren't as much of a draw for Botten, although the two's fjords are frequently visited.

Alongside this, neighbouring Saami has close ties, though not to the extent as Pohjanmaa, for similar reasons. It is sometimes viewed as the 'Third Wheel' of the Northern Baltic.
Neo-European Civil War

The **Neo-European Civil War** was an internal conflict within Neo-Europe that lasted from 2119 until 2124, caused by Slavic separatists establishing a breakaway republic, which in turn led to debates around sovereignty throughout Neo-Europe, also seeing armed conflict in North Africa and protests in India. Neo-Europe was ultimately victorious, with all territory falling back under federal control.
Mars (Human Commonwealth Domain)

**Mars** is an extraterrestrial domain of the Human Commonwealth, made up of several separate settlements across the red planet.

## History

Upon the disbandment of Neo-Europe, all of the state's former territories fell under the control of Ekrim Tekin's new state, the Human Commonwealth, including Mars.

## Regions

Mars is divided into four principal regions.

### Alsada

Alsada is the second-largest region in terms of population, though its capitol, Bowie, is the home of regional government and has the strongest links with the Human Commonwealth.

Delaware

Delaware, a state of Nordica, is found in Southern Laurentia. It was a former part of The United States. It was ceded to Nordica in 2050, following the **Treaty of Halifax**. It was admitted in 2068. It borders New Britain and New York to the East, Huron to the North, and America (Virginia, Columbia) to the West.

## Creation

Delaware was created as a state in 2068, although was formerly a protectorate of Nordica prior to admission. Its admission was delayed by a dispute with what would become New York. Delaware became a protectorate following the joint invasion of America by Nordica, Neo-Europe, and GUASS. It inherited all of Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, as well as upstate New York.

## Organisation

Delaware, like all states, is governed by it's **Assembly**, in charge of much of the day to day operations of the state, with only a few notable exceptions. It's Assembly is around average size, with 105 members, with about 1 member per 136 thousand people. This correlates to 14 **State Representatives** in the Federal Government, leaving Delaware slightly under-represented. This gives Delaware the same influence as Denmark, Sweden, and Huron.

Delaware is further subdivided into Counties and Municipal Areas, of which there are 10 of the former, and 5 of the latter.

Layne Family

The Layne Family were a line that included a number of notable figures, including two of French Guyana's Presidents as well as terrorist and political figure Ania Layne.

## History

The Layne family were descended from mainland France, with ancestry tracing back hundreds of years prior to that, though the start of the family is lost to history. This branch specifically begun with **Fernand Layne**, who fled to French Guyana following the French Civil War, marrying local **Florence Bonard** not long after. The couple had two children: **Tristan-Pascal** in 2048 and **Chloé** in 2056. Tristan-Pascal would be in numerous relationships over his life, having children with three separate people, though would be a largely absent father. On the other hand, Chloé would suffer from progressive selective mutism for most of her life, beginning at age 15. This would largely inhibit her ability to form relationships, though she would be the avenue by which the family lineage would continue when she met **Ettore Perret**. Though Perret proposed in 2081, they would never marry, as this triggered an episode, which would last a number of years. Despite being engaged, they would agree not to marry until Chloé regained her speech, though by the time that happened her priorities had shifted. In the interim, the pair had their first child, Jean-Yves in 2083. Over a decade later, in 2096, they would have a second child, **Orianne**. Both would go on to have children of their own, with Jean-Yves fathering **Marine** and **François** with wife **Lilian Leclerc**; and Orianne having only one child of her own, **Ania**. Of these, only François would have children. The Layne family would continue this way for a few generations, though would be completely wiped out by the Domolaki attack on French Guyana.

## Prominent Members

Jean-Yves Layne was a politician, who served as the President of French Guyana, being the longest serving president at the time. He would be quite the controversial figure, with many criticising his actions surrounding the Sanctorum Crisis and Scavravirus Pandemic, though with equally as many viewing his rule as successful.

Orianne Layne was a major figure in French counterintelligence during the Third World War. She was a somewhat decorated war hero, and was crucial in a number of operations, such as leading Alliance forces into a trap at Massaret.

Marine Layne was another to serve as French Guyana's President, succeeding her Father. She was a known religious extremist, and destroyed the last of her families reputation, with many of her father's allies turning on her.

Ania Layne was a initially counterintelligence agent under her mother, though went on to join Judeo-Christian Terrorist group Sanctorum. She was a close acquaintance of Sebastian Bauer, and was responsible for the 2167 Hallifax Bridge Terror Attack. She would later become a key backer of paramilitary group Espejismo, and was instrumental in the Falklands Clone Crisis.
