[/img]|125px|border|alt=|Flag of Adumara]]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
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 56,000 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.
