Galawen is a medium-sized region, with a thriving community of 15 nations and only 5 World Assembly Members.
The straight-backed, broad-smiling populace of Galawen eagerly dismissed concerns of oppression. Denizens generally have very few political freedoms, but some limited freedom is afforded to citizens of nations in the region. The economy of the region is very strong, with a large number of very powerful trading powers. The median tax rate of the region is 31%, but is frequently higher for the wealthy. The economies of nations in the region tend to be heavily weighted towards the private sector, with on average 24% of the economy comprising the public sector. Stoking commercial activity is a major priority for governments, accounting for an average of 9% of public expenditure.
Galawen does not prioritize education in any meaningful way. The region's law enforcement is arguably too well-equipped and overzealous, arresting citizens who dare to commit the most minor of infractions. Defense is an overarching priority for governments within the region. One might suggest they are compensating for something. Public transport is an afterthought, with only 2% of total government budgets in the region being devoted to it.
Throughout Galawen, governments find themselves confused, with administration departments being so bloated that staff do not know what other staff are doing, with an average of over 9% of government budgets being devoted to Administration. Some government provision is made for healthcare, but at an average of only 4% the provision for healthcare in the region is paltry. Welfare in the region is minimal, with only a small amount of expenditure being devoted to spending on social security. Governments in the region are avowedly atheist - no public funds are allocated to spirituality.
In Galawen, Social inequality is total, with wealth being held by a tiny fraction of the region's populace. The environments of the nations in the region are almost universally appalling.
History
867: A Sut'ki horde rides south and crushes the Holy Galawanian Empire, the other nations of the region, despite their religious differences ride north and drive back the new 'Manlidarvik people'. The new nations of the Holy land and the Kingdom of Shydale are formed.
998: Shydale breaks apart
1827: Shydale is reunified by the the commiserated
1912: This is when the history of Galawen starts. Before this time; the UK of Chreees had just conquered the remnants of the People’s Republic of Shydale. The Commissar was handed over to Phariopian authorities by the Shydalians. The Khaarmani declared their own ‘Tribal Republic’. The Jaubish have a colony in the Sut’ki peninsula.
The Phariopians occupied a 10 mile zone in DeWalde, the southernmost province of old Shydale.
The Khaarmani subjugated the province of Neutralia from the Chreeesish.
JaubLand initiated the reformation of her armies, making it a modern fighting force.
The Ruler of Manlidav, Emperor Ban'Shuk VI, has passed away.
The UK of Chreees, The Ard Imperiacht of Caerhold, The Dictatorship of Conwayland and The Empire of JaubLand declare war on the Empire of Manlidav.
The Empire of Phario condemns the invading nations. After some diplomatic magic, the Emperor of Phario persuaded the Gu h-àrd Ceusair de Tighearna agus daoine of Caerhold to pull out of the Manlidavik War.
After having lost faith in the war, the UK of Chreees pulled out of the war and issued an ultimatum to JaubLand to pull out of Manlidav.
The Empire of Phario and the Holy Empire of Hazdaland signed an Anschluss, forming the Empire of Old Phario.
The Empire of JaubLand and The Dictatorship of Conwayland signed an Anschluss, forming the United Empires of JaubLand and Conwayland.
JaubLand accepted the Chreeesish ultimatum, afterwards condemning both Caerhold and Chreees.
Pope Karl V died.
The Holy Land accepted the offer of protection from Caerhold.
The Isles of Rengard invented the ‘plane’.
Pope Karl VI is elected as leader of the Holy Land, with the leader of Caerhold missing out at second place.
The Empire of Old Phario colonized the Federation of Serif-Periogi, renaming it to ‘Kjellmart’ 1913:
The Phariopian scientists invent the ‘tank’
The Jaubish and Caerholdian forces attack the Sut’ki, after the biggest raid by them on the Caerholdians.
The Galawenian nations discover lands to the west, including New Galawen and Halgria.
The UK of Chrees, The United Empire of JaubLand and Conwayland and The Priderodikan Empire signed a declaration of independence, forming the Confederacy of Independent Sovereign States (C.I.S.S.)
The Halgri Caliphate crushed their rebellion.
Chreeesish forces attempted to board Jaubish ships stationed in West Bay.
The Empire of Caerhold formed a military junta, disowning over a third of its lands.
The CISS and the League of Galawen (excluding Chreees), attacked Chreees and a conditional peace was signed within a few weeks.
The League of Galawen was dissolved and the Phariopian Assembly replaced it.
After two weeks, the control of the Chreeesish mainland was handed over to the Isles of Rengard. Post-1913:
After years of stalemate and endless war, the CISS and the PA agreed upon their differences and signed a détente.
During the 1960s and 70s, the countries of Galawen collaborated on a space mission.
In 1972, the Halgri Caliphate launched an invasion of the Galawen mainland and advanced with crushing speed through the southern nations. The governments took refuge in the northern countries
In 2003 the Galawenian Space Station (GSS) was launched and the governments took refuge there until the space colonisation plans were ready to be deployed.
After over three hundred years (cca. 2300) of travelling cryogenically frozen through space, they arrived at their destination - System A-1. There, all the nations decided to go separate ways, colonising all systems within 30 light years.
