Sarenium, officially the United Republic of Sarenium, is a country comprising the west of the African continent, the west of Europe and numerous smaller islands. It is the world's largest country by total area. Neighbouring countries include Mingotopia to the east, States of Southwestern Africa to the south and Akarov to the far east.

Sarenium has been a longtime commonwealth creator, its conquests from the monarchy period of 600BCE to 1400CE led to longtime hatred for religious centers. As a result, most of Sarenium is predominantly atheist and since the 1500s, it has been the crown leader of the democratic forefront. Sarenium has since then been considered a valuable member of New Polation, giving the world the first of recorded history, the first inventions of sailing, gunpowder and democracy. Sarenium's largest city and capital is Sydney, the CBD of the city houses nearly 600,000 people whereas the Greater Sydney area houses over 60 million people, Sydney is positioned south of the Strait of Gibraltar, making it one of the most touristic and trade-vital cities.

Sarenium is a developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world, with the world's 5th-largest economy. Sarenium's military expenditure is the world's 5th-largest. Sarenium ranks highly in many international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, health, education, economic freedom, and the protection of civil liberties and political rights. The Saren Ambassador to the NPGA is the chairperson of the NPGA, the executive authority of New Polation and it hosts the Commonwealth of Nations, including Rhinelux and SSWA alongside the annual SAVAQ, VYRSA and AKSAR ministerial meetings.

History

Pre-1300s

Main Article: The Monarchy

As early as 230BCE, Sarenium has had a recorded history. Saren soil was confined to Espanol and the tip of Africa by agreement with native tribes. The Sarens perfected writing and built the first messaging network, the Royal Messengers, they became famed for their capabilities and their usage was well known to hostile elements of the Germanic Banner. Saren ideals of heredity and inheritance of rank were left to be, the Senate kept the Monarch in check but overall, it maintained a relatively basic posture. By 600CE, Sarenium had evolved to control southern Franco and all of Western Africa, its sights were set on the wealthy nations of South Africa, subjugating and controlling most of those nations by the end of the 7th Century and beginning the naval age. Sarenium began with discovering and dominating much of South America and making strong ties to Northern Americans, it became well known that Sarenium was a powerful nation by the end of the 14th century as it had controlled all of Africa and almost all of South America. Worship of the Pantheon was widespread and without a doubt a very vital essence to the Monarchy.

1300s-1600s

The Monarchy had begun to be seen as corrupt and with the wealth it had acquired, bickering politicians and disconnect between the classes began to cause mass waves of hatred against the Monarchy and Senate. With the Slatsen Tribes emerging a new threat loomed in the north of the Rhine River. Saren military structure was highly above others and prevented catastrophic military coups and maintained order and respect. As a result, the military did little to aid the populace. In 1546, King Oswald IV died in suspicious circumstance, resulting in his son, King Fahariaz XXI being crowned. Fahariaz took the meaning of 'suspicious circumstance' far too seriously and began to persecute educators, scholars and brought dissent upon the people. In 1556, 1569 and 1591, three purges were carried out. The first two ordered the killing of almost one thousand soldiers, generals and scholars. The third ended his respect and deemed him a traitor to the gods when he killed two priests in the process. The two priests were low level members of the Pantheon but were nonetheless important. Throughout his monarchy, the presence of General Julius Caesar proved a threat, Julius Caesar was stationed in south-western Polack, his proximity to Sydney worried many of the elder Senators. In 1591, the threat of a Caesar interference went so high that he was given a message stationing his legion (XIII Fulimantia) in South Polack. Upon hearing of the purge that ensued months after he chose to take over the Governorship of Brasilia, taking over the Saren Navy command there and maintaining proximity. In 1594, he returned to Sydney and ran for the Senate, winning a seat and taking control of a party known as the 'Civics Party'. His public persona made him ideal for revolution and he brought about one, in 1599.

The Triumvirate

Caesar's revolution was built for the people, to appease the wealthy Senators and to keep himself alive, he opted for equal power. Between his close confident, Marc Antony and one of the Senate's greatest orators, Senator Savafid. The House of Savafid had been 9th in line to the Monarchy and by effect was most disappointed in the removal of the monarch. Instead, Savafid agreed to take on the role of 'Consul', the leader of the Senate. Caesar became Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and Marc Antony became the People's Tribune. This agreement was short lived, in 1603, a messenger ran through Sydney alarming the public to the death of Julius Caesar. Marc Antony feared for his life and his former military status made him the head to turn to in the eyes of most Generals. Generals Tiberius and Zelekh were both stations with their legions in Espanol and prepared to march south when the order from Savafid came to stand down. Marc Antony was killed leaving Sydney to rejoin Tiberius and Zelekh by a crossbowman later killed by the Extraodinarii of Savafid. The Praetorian Guard left Sydney for Brasilia and returned with Legion XIII two years later only to be ordered back to Brasilia. In later years, Savafid began to burn much of Caesar's dream of what is today called a democracy, he clenched the military with an iron grip and threatened starvation on the families if any hostility was shown. In 1604, Caesar's son, 'Augustus' Octavian Caesar was found to have survived a house fire intended to kill him. Octavian became convinced that Savafid was responsible and disappeared into the public before he could be hunted prompting the burning of the Great Library in Gibraltar. The Library housed documents about the monarchy, Caesar, important events, people and legislation. Protected by the Guard of the One Hundred, Savafid personally chose to attack it in an official visit to the library. His personal Extraordinarii were there in assistance.

The First Democracy

Octavian returned to Brasilia where he mustered an army nearly 7 legions large, he had support from the Espanol Legions and was capable of returning with his father's will and Caesar's secretly written constitution. The Legions sailed to Melbourne on the south-east tip of Espanol and marched north. Savafid had loyal legions but they were in the Middle East or away on Madagascar. His nearest legion was in Sicily and its Governor was loyal to Caesar and kept the information from the general. Savafid was killed under Patricide charges and his death sparked Octavian creating the first Saren constitution in 1607.

The 100 Year War

Sarenium was wounded in its internal feud that it allowed Slatsen tribes to unify under a single banner. Instilling confidence in a wounded military was costly and took time, time in which the Sarens lost northern France and most of Italy. Territorial disputes began to ring out and as a result, the newly created constitution of Sarenium called upon the military to adhere to the Presidency. President Octavian Caesar served for a period of 12 years, pushing the Slatsens back before he resigned to prevent the recreation of a monarchy. Traditionally, the President was seen as a superior office and many amendments were made to prevent the Presidency gaining too much power. In 1654, the Sarens lost the first major battle, after a forty year stalemate, they lost the Battle of Nice, losing Nice was a major blow to the Saren navy and it served as a symbolic loss to Sarenium as it was not taken back until 2010. The war ended in 1711 after the Sarens were proving to relentless and the battle was becoming a loss to the Slatsens. Slattsenw only completed reparation repayment in 1821, exactly 110 years after they first began to pay. This 100 Year War resulted in Sarenium gaining access to gunpowder, the precursor to rifles and by the war's end, the large debate over Saren prowess became moot as Sarenium had granted independence to all of South Africa and much of the East. Maintaining the South American territories by granting semi-autonomy, Saren dominance was diminished.

Constitution of 1742

The powers of the President became too many, and after realizing how much the President is let loose, the decision to separate the Presidency from Parliament was made. The first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton, was sworn in by the President and served for a period of five years before losing the general election.

Post 1800s

As the industrial revolution raged, Sarenium's wealth was restored and it could return to maintaining South America freely, that was not the case as poverty struck out at South America with the flu and Sarenium opted to provide limited assistance out of fear rather than to protect its colony. This resulted in another continent being relinquished and the reasons are still the source of heated debate today, in 1866 the Saren Parliament issued a formal apology and paid nearly 40mn Dollars in assistance fees as a sign of apology. This was accepted and the relations between Sarenium and those nations remains peaceful.

World Wars

The Nazi Reich entered four years of war with Saren, Vaquasian and Vyrmshirean forces. The three nations joined forces after the Treaty of Adelaide which committed the nations to preventing Slatsen aggression. In 1918 Slattsenw was forced to pay reparations to Liverite and Sarenium before its government collapsed and it reformed into a new government. In 1939, the Slatsen Nazis, joined by the Facist Reich of Euthenasia attacked Sarenium, Vyrmshire, Vaquas, The Texan Union and States of Southwestern Africa. Rhinelux, a Saren commonwealth was also called upon. The six year war ended in Slatsen/Euthenasian surrender after Slattsenw lost Sicily and its Danish possessions.

1935 Reformation

Removal of the Prime Minister's office to the sole leadership of the President as a precaution to remove miscommunication in the event of Slatsen hostilities.

2016 Reformation

Since 2016, the United Republic's constitutional reform has revamped the workings back to the 1700s as a result to counter corruption and curb the powers of the President. The latest reform has been instituted without a hitch.

Present Day

With Sarenium having held the regional Presidency and now hosting and chairing the newly founded New Polation General Assembly. Sarenium also has legal status over the Commonwealth of Nations which meets every second year to discuss the future of tri-national cooperation. Since the 1950s, Sarenium has held annual technology and social justice meetings among international activists. Saren universities rank in the top worldwide, however, high school and primary education are somewhat less funded. Gay marriage has been legal in Sarenium since 1978 under President Reginald Orbem, social justice has been continually highly ranking in Government priorities.

Government and Politics

The President of Sarenium is currently Tyson Orbem (since 1st August) and his office is considered to be head of state but is practically a ceremonial and tie-breaking position.

Elected every five years, President Orbem will be departing office either at his resignation or in 2021.
