The Federal Republic of Adumara, commonly referred to as Adumara, is a nation on the continent of Concord. It borders the nation of Yuno, and is directly west of South Hills(SHACOG). Because of its location, Adumara experiences relatively mild seasons. The Taikow and Marion island territories are very tropical in nature, and most land that is not urbanized is covered in Dense Jungles or sprawling, sandy beaches. The Marion islands are the ideal place for vacations to take place, and because of this, the Government generates tens of thousands in income from tourism on those islands. But the Taikow islands are a completely different story, having a long history of terrorism and piracy from those few who opposed the Annexation of the Islands by Adumara. Because of this, the southern islands chain is rarely visited by tourists and those not involved in the military or there for Government duties.

History

The first records of a state date back to around 7,000 years BC(est.), where the Kingdom of Ardan reigned. Many years after, in 5,200 BC, another kingdom rose, and soon was followed by 3 others across what is now modern-day Adumara. Wars, Trade, Diplomacy, and other interactions occurred between these states for several millennium, with very little outside interaction.

Eventually, in 340 BC, the 5 Nation states unified into the First Confederation, which was a loose grouping of like-minded states. This allowed for rapid expansion and goals to be set outside the confines of the region for once, and Adumara quickly became a regional power, after expanding Eastward for a while. This eventually ended in the First Adumaran Civil War, which was the bloodiest war known in Adumaran History, with an estimated casualty count of over 960,000 civilians and soldiers loosing their lives, and countless more being injured.

The Second Confederation was formed in 572 AD, this time with a single ruler to call "King", although he was mostly a puppet for the Lords of the Kingdoms. The Imperialist Age started in 800 AD, resulting in even further expansion Eastwards, and even a few minor over-seas colonies(the exact whereabouts lost to time). But this imperialist attitude also caused tensions to rise between the Lords, and selfishness to run rampant in the Confederation. This resulted in the Second Adumaran Civil War, which was far less bloody and destructive than the last, but changed the minds of Adumarans forever.

After the Second Civil War, the Lord of the Kingdom of Ardan, Lord Haldir, became tired of such disorder and chaos, and decided to take matters into his own hands. He began a campaign to take over the other kingdoms, and finally unify the 5 Kingdoms. 3 of them fell relatively quickly, as they were weakened by the Civil War, but the last continued to fight on for a long while, using guerrilla warfare, but finally conceded several decades later.

This new "Adumaran Empire" once again became a massive power, expanding overseas territories, and attempted colonization of Gondwana and Arcturia, which eventually failed. The Third, and final, Adumaran Civil War broke out in 1642, but didn't officially end until 1768, when the final kingdom was reconquered. But, this war had weakened the Nation, and a line of several bad Kings resulted in the loss of overseas colonies, as well as the loss of huge chunks of land out East, forming most of what is modern Adumara. But the Islands and part of the Adumaran Desert remained independent.

Years later, in 1860, the Confederation/Empire was finally reformed into the Republic it is today, and began to prosper once more. A full history can be found here(WIP): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MKVLE1nFZOazilJerKHNuYlBEm5NmAcXKG7LUZnQQTs/edit?usp=sharing

Island Unification War

AAF troops storm Toron Island.

The Taikow(southern) and Marion(northern) island chains had long been independent, only the Marion islands being admitted to the Confederacy late in its life, and the Taikow islands not being forcefully admitted until much later.

The Island Unification War was a conflict that lasted between 1953 - 1960, between the FRA(Federal Republic of Adumara) and the TAC(Taikow Anarchist Coalition) over control of the Taikow Island Chain. It started when the Adumaran Government took an interest in the renewable energy industry, or what little there was of it. The Taikow and Marion Islands had been known to have massive dormant volcanoes scattered across them, which were a great source of Geothermal Energy. Since there was no government ruling over the islands that was recognized by anyone, the FRA decided to send a Battleship to scare the natives into surrender in 1952. Instead, when the landing party arrived, they were captured, skinned alive, and then cooked to death, all in front of their crew mates on the ship. The Battleship quickly steamed home to notify the FRA.

The following year, the FRA showed up with a massive task force, at least 18,000 strong, and landed on the largest of the Islands to use it as a staging ground. The Island was mostly open terrain, so it wasn't too terrible difficult to subdue. But the other islands in the chain were a completely different story. It took around 3 1/2 more years to fully conquer the islands, and another 3 1/2 years to kill the remnants and Guerrilla Fighters. Even to this day it is an extremely unstable territory, with citizens mainly staying to the towns and cities of Toron, while the other islands have massive geothermal plants on them with a strong paramilitary presence.

Konrak War(Operation Sandstorm)

Adumaran Howitzers prepare to fire on KIF positions.

The last District to be absorbed by the Republic, the Konrak Desert has historically been a politically and socially unstable region. While the Empire was in decline, the Arid region broke off in 1834 and became the Konrak Principality, ruled by a Grand Magister and a Prince. In 1862, when the Republic had stabilized, it attempted an invasion of the Principality, but failed quite miserably, underestimating the level of organization it had acheived.

The FRA tried once more to take back the desert region in 1993 in Operation Sandstorm. This war would last from 1993 - 2001.

The invasion began in the middle of the night, when around 430 Adumaran Army soldiers took the town of Dumar, with little resistance. Once fortifications were set up, and a makeshift airfield dug out, Sea Stallion Helicopters began airlifting men to Dumar, totaling up to 4,350 men. But near the end of the airlifting process, Konraki warriors attacked Dumar, but were successfully repelled 7 times due to the more advanced weaponry and better experience of the AAF forces. Eventually, when the airlifting ended, ground convoys had arrived with around 74 Main Battle Tanks, and 870 APCs, and the AAF advanced into the Principaility, fighting off the Konraki warriors harrassing Dumar.

Within the first 2 years, 14 other towns and cities had been reconquered, and bye early 1997, well over half the nation had been subdued. By this point, the Grand Magister was willing to surrender, and almost did before he was murdered by the Prince, who ran off deeper into the desert with military forces that were loyal to him, and founded the Konrak Independence Front(KIF). Many men and women respected the Magister's decision, and surrendered to the FRA, who's numbers in Konrak by this point were swelling to 7,800. Most of the nation was quickly conquered, with only a small area occupied by 3 towns remaining with the KIF. The KIF received weapons and supplies from a nation who had recognized them and were backing them, known as the Stellar Archipelago of Syllvania.

By this point, the FRA government was getting tired, and decided to have one final push, which worked remarkably well, and crushed the KIF opposition. The few remaining Rebels, estimated around 68, scattered throughout the Konrak desert, and occasionally skirmish with FRA police and military forces.

Politics

There are 2 primary branches of the Adumaran Government: - The Executive Branch: The Chancellor and his Advisory Cabinet. The Cabinet is made up of 5 officials chosen by the Chancellor, who are the following: Grand General, High Admiral, Minister of Trade, Minister of Domestic Affairs, and Minister of Foreign Affairs. These 5 men and women have the power to direct the affairs of each of their respective branches, under the oversight of the Chancellor. In times of War, the Chancellor takes the lead in Domestic Affairs and branches of the Military, with the branch heads leading under his control. The Chancellor serves 5 year terms, and appoints his or her own Cabinet each term. They can hold up to 3 total terms(15 years) per career. The Chancellor is voted for directly by the people using the Instant-Runoff Voting System. - The Federal Senate: Made up of 20 groups, with two members each,(40 total) of Representatives from 20 different Districts of the Adumaran State. These two representatives are elected by the people using the same Instant-Runoff Voting System. Both representatives are chosen by the people of the District. They vote on Domestic Matters, with the Minister of Domestic Affairs overseeing the entire Senate Conference. Another thing to note, the senators representing more heavily populated areas get a larger say in the matter. This system, called the Burke-Voting System(after the man who invented it), will be described more in-depth later. This branch also acts as the Supreme Court and head of the Judicial System.

Territories, Dependancies, and other Colonies are not represented in the Senate until they have been admitted as a District. This is done when the population has surpassed the minimum of 3,000 registered citizens, turned in the required payment(debated on the spot with the colonial administration), and have met the Adumaran HDI Standards. Territories and Colonies are ruled by Viceroys who are permitted to sit-in at Senate meetings, but do not vote on most matters not pertaining to their region. They answer directly to the Minister of Domestic Affairs.

Burke-Voting System: If a District has a population of ______ they get a vote of ____

Less than or 10,000 citizens gets 1 vote

10,000 - 20,000 citizens gets 1.5 votes

20,000 - 50,000 citizens gets 2 votes

50,000 - 100,000 citizens gets 2.5 votes

100,000 - 200,000 citizens gets 3 votes

200,000 - 500,000 citizens gets 3.5 votes

500,000 - 1 million citizens gets 4 votes

1 million - 5 million citizens gets 5 votes

5 million - 10 million citizens gets 5.5 votes

10 million + citizens gets 6 votes

Organization

The FRA is currently organized into 20 different Districts, and 2 territories, which are the Marion and Taikow Island Chains.

Domestic Policy

Poverty Rate: 4.5% as of 2017. It dropped from 18% in 2015 due to multiple programs set up by the Adumaran Government to reduce poverty and unemployment.

Adumaran Armed Forces(AAF)

The AAF is comprised of 4 branches: The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Special Operations Division.

Equipment of the AAF

Most Adumaran Army soldiers utilize the ACA CG-15 as their primary weapon, while Adumaran Special Operations Soldiers utilize the more advanced ACA CR-18.
