Marzani Mamming, Council chairman of the revolution. (Head of the worker’s union governance and administration council.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]History: The lands of Aroristan have a complicated history, starting out as a riverine and coastal based society revolving around numerous city states [/SIZE]most being embroiled in wars for the limited metal deposits on the coast, change came though colonization inland let to large rural communities growing that lacked the protection of the great cities on the coasts leading to the rise of a nobility and dozens of petty kingdoms sprang up one after another, this too led to wars for territory but contrary to the hundreds of years of low intensity warfare between the city states this period ended after a short 150 years due to the great warlord Martines del Torra uniting the various city states and kingdoms under one political entity, known as the holy empire of Aroristan. This federative monarchical empire then entered into an age of prosperity under the leadership of capable emperors and saw a period of rapid technological advancement that eventually culminated into the creation of the arquebus, this being the weapon that changed everything.
With the del Torra family having been in the process of centralizing the empire for hundreds of years through the forging of marital ties and revoking privileges of the burghers in the cities the empire was sufficiently united and prepared to commence an expedition into the iron rich lands in the east, the conquest itself was not the hard part though, instead it was the occupation with hundreds of years of guerrilla warfare and brutal oppression taking place the Drandian lands became one giant warzone. It wasn’t until the mid-nineteenth century that the Aroristanians finally ended the incessant rebellions, marrying the Heir to Aroristan to a distant descendant of the ancient Syzik family, creating the Empire of Arori-Drandia under joint rulership in eighteen-fifty-three.
[SIZE=10.5pt]Unburdened by the infighting that had plagued the prior empire, Arori-Drandia was able to make good use of the ample supplies of iron and coal in Drandia, rapidly modernizing and becoming a world leader in heavy industry, establishing one of the most expansive networks of railroads in the world, that in part continues to this day.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The rich lands of Drandia allowed the empires shipyards to enter a renaissance unseen before along with a giant agricultural revolution thanks to the new large market to supply.
The power projection the navy allowed for and aided by significant technological advancements in weaponry, abounded as Arior-Drandia fought to earn its place as a global power.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]When the Great War came the world did not find Arior-Drandia wanting, holding over twenty million soldiers under arms at its peak. Despite its great strength however, all was not well within the Empire. The death of ruling Emperor, Charles del Torra the Eighth, under mysterious circumstances in nineteen-seventeen brought suspicions upon his only son and heir Charles del Torra the Ninth, accusations of murder flew and a succession crisis occurred.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]The Empire was torn apart by infighting as claimants rushed to take the throne, gathering whatever support they could get from the military or people. With the Empire’s heartlands falling into anarchy the frontlines collapsed, allowing the Empire’s enemies to push deep into Imperial territory as the military chose sides.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Dozens of factions emerged, supporting this or that claimant or aiming to establish this or that government in place of the monarchy.[/SIZE]
Seven years of bloody, costly, destructive civil war ensued, lasting long after the Great War ended. In nineteen-fourteen the Empire’s population was thriving at over three-hundred-million, in nineteen-twenty-four when the civil war was declared over with the signing of the Treaty of Alda the population was less than half that number.
[SIZE=10.5pt]The ultimate result of the Civil War was the abolishment, and execution, of the Monarchy and the emergence of two similar but distinct states, one in Aroristan and one in Drandia. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]In Aroristan the civil war took a bloody turn between various noble factions in the rural inland lands fighting for various heir claims and the cities rising up to throw off the yoke that had been placed on them for centuries, free peoples militias roamed the lands and it wasn’t until the navy, a traditionally lowborn controlled arm banded together with the revolutionaries and established the central revolutionary front, this organization allowed them to unite the various rural militias under it and in a process of 30 years successfully abolished any system of nobility and exterminated any landed noble along with his family down to a third cousin, this purge while damaging large amounts of diplomatic relations allowed the nobility to finally be quelled and now the republic of Aroristan, rebuilding but filled with potential and a brother to the east. All that awaited them was spreading the revolution to the farthest reaches of the world.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Terrain: fertile fields in the west[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt]ern part of the country slowly becoming more rugged as one goes east, thick forest marshlands exist in the south, plenty of natural harbors exist thanks to the abundant river estuaries.
The railroad systems between Aroristan and Drandia are tightly knit together thanks to their long history being a unified empire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Population: 72 million people, of this 28 million is the adult population.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Abundant resources: wheat, oil(Southern and coastal regions), tungsten(to the east), natural gas(Northern regions), corn, cotton, coffee, lifestock and fish.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Scarce resources: Iron and coal deposits, silk and rarer textiles, copper, chromium, molybdenum and other various rare metals.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Products: Quality foodstuffs and clothes, Arsenale de Liberazione ships, artillery made by Ansaldo engineering, trains, tractors, medicines and quality bred horses.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Culture: The Aroristani is a man hailing from hundreds of different places, there are the urbanites on the coastlines, sailors, factorymen, chemists and traders. Proud workers of the great revolution. On the coasts high arori is generally spoken which is the official written language, because of the very high urbanization rates on the coastline most citizens are accustomed to a large number of social services and generally well educated. Inland one will find the rural Aroristani though, he is a farmer, a soldier, a woodsmen or miner. Generally living in less urbanized regions working in union organized farming collectives, thanks to the centralized location of the collectives a lot of social services are offered from those locations. A more rural dialect is sproken in these lands.
The Workers union governance and administration council is responsible for ensuring the social rights of the workers are maintained, thanks to their great influence in the actual implementation of most law the people enjoy a relatively high standard of living.
The republic is under the constant surveillance of the commission for the persecution and re-education of royalist and insurgent elements though, a commissioner is present in every village, and in the cities large secret bases are rumoured to exist, their mission is to exterminate any royalist elements domestically and investigate outsider royalist influences, in addition to this they maintain the policing of the nation persecuting insurgents that desire to institute such oppressive institutions as capitalism or fascism.
Lastly the army itself exists, the peoples liberation army, present in hundreds of garrisons spread around the nation every man is expected to serve in the army for 3 years to go through basic training, along with a month of training every year. The coastline is under the jurisdiction of the navy while the inland regions are recruiting bases for the army.[/SIZE]
