The United Sovereign Kingdoms of Rhodevus, commonly referred to as just Rhodevus, is a sovereign, medium-sized developed nation located in the west of Sunalaya, south of the Sunarctic and to the east of Vekalse. It has a total population of approximately 55 million who reside on the 5,692,024 km² sized nation, with Kingstown being the capital city. Rhodevus is a kingdom.

The nation was founded in 1817 when, after two centuries of foreign rule, a bloody transition from occupation to independence took place. On May 5th 1817, Rhodevus, the United Kingdom, and France signed a peace treaty.

The country has seen major growth over the past thirty years after Sunalaya War II of economic, social and environmental growth.

Rhodevus is known as a large island nation. Rhodevus is a member of the World Assembly and the Sunalayan Assembly.

Etymology

The Rhodevan is the name of a native aboriginal who lived in Rhodevus. The word "Rhode" come from the native word 'Rhudo' or bountiful and 'Evulo' which means sea creatures. Over time, Rhodevan fell into disuse as to refer to an aboriginal in a racist context. Afterward, the name to call all inhabitant of Rhodevus changed to 'Rhodeve'.

The standard way to refer to a citizen of Rhodevus is as a "Rhodeve" or "Rhodevan Native".

Education

Education is very important in Rhodevus. All schools in Rhodevus are subsidized to an extent. Schools are classified in a few different ways, which judge how much government funds would go to that school:

• Elementary: Elementary schools are schools which teach grades Kindergarten-8. They teach primary skills such as Science, Mathematics, Language (English, Frecnh Rhodevan) Geography, Art, Physical Education and geography. These schools are usually 90% government subsidized, unless they are classified as religious private schools, wherein they are only 50% subsidized.

• High School: High Schools are schools which teach grades 9-12. They teach occupational skills that range from Science to Business to Art. The average courses that one can take are: Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Calculus, Economics, Music, Art, Drama, World or Rhodeve History, French, Rhodevan, Literature, Accounting, kinesiology and World Religion. All grades must take English and Gym. These schools are 55% subsideized by the government, unless; just like elementary schools, they are classifies as religious private high schools, wherein they are 40% subsidized.

• Military School: Military Schools are schools which teach grades 13-1st year University. As armed service is mandatory, they teach mainly physical courses such as Gym, Weightlifting, Sports, Gymnastics, kinesiology, and Martial Arts. On top of these mandatory courses, all students have various options which will help them with life after and during the armed services. Theses courses include: Biology, Physics Chemistry, Languages, World History, Calculus, Strategy, Mechanics, Architecture and Business. These schools are 100% government subsidized.

All schools systems listed above are mandatory for all people in Rhodevus. After these, the student may decide whether or not to progress in the academic ladder.

• Bachelor's Degree (B): This degree is the first part of University which takes 2-3 years. It includes Military School as the first year and includes many of the same courses. Studies begin to become more specialized for each occupation, with a still generalized overview of the chosen field of interest. Bachelor's Degrees are 30% subsidized by the government.

• Master's Degree (M): This degree is the second part of University which takes 2-4 years. Subjects begin to become specialized, wherein each topic field may have 10-20 different occupational specializations. This degree is recommended for higher level 'white-collar' jobs. Master's Degrees are 20% subsidized by the government.

• Doctorate Degrees (PhD): This degree is the third part of University which takes between 1-2 years. Subjects are extremely specialized and these students are required to teach at least 100 hours of Master's level courses. This degree is recommended for University level teaching and other studious/research based occupations. Doctorate Degrees are 15% subsidized by the government.

• Post Doctorate Degrees/King Degrees (PPhD/KD): This is the final degree of Universities. Very few students reach this degree which takes 1 year to complete. A student would use this degree when specializing in a specialized field. This includes becoming specialized in a field which relates to the chosen specialized field, such as being able to prescribe drugs as a neuropsychoanalyst. This degree is not subsidized by the government.

History

Pre-History

The Natives of the land, officially known as Rhodevan Natives, or at the time Rhodevans, lived harmoniously with the land. They followed average aboriginal cultural procedures of living off the land and only eating what you can finish. With the later discovery of farming in the area and the natural abundance of wheat, barley and sheep, the population expanded rapidly from a few hundred to a few thousand only a decade later.

Rhodevan/Colonial Expansion

During the year 1621, after the One Hundred Years War, the United Kingdom and France lead a joint expedition to the far South West in search of a route to the East. The joint expedition later landed on the shores of Rhodevus. After seeing its fertile landscape and bountiful resources, the French and British opened up two separate outposts and later in 1643, two fully functional colonies. The British one at Port Joy and the French at Acadia.

At around the same time, the Rhodevan Native population continued to grow exponentially. The natives soon expanded off their island, now known as the Imperial City of Rhode. Their own expansion allowed them to meet the British and French colonies. The three groups began to trade and interact resulting in close relations.

Rhodevan-Colonial Wars

The Rhodevan/Colonial Wars was a period of constant fighting between the Rhodevan Natives and the British/French Empires. The war lasted from 1643-1753, with intermittent peace treaties. The Colonials, whose populations needed for Northward expansion, started pushing deeper into Rhodevan held territory which angered the natives. This resulted in guerrilla style warfare between the two groups for the next 110 years. The warring period finally ended with two major plagues sweeping the area. First was the Flux Plague which targeted the unresistant Colonials, killing off 1/3 of their population. The other was the European Small Pox, which infected and killed 90% of the Rhodevan Native Population.

Rhodeve Revolutionary-Civil War

Almost half a century after the wars, Rhodevus finally began rallies for the nation's independence from the British/French governments. In the year 1812, a group of Rhodevan Natives and rebellious Colonials started a mob in the capitol of Kingstown. What soon followed was an all out war between the rebels and the European powers. The fighting reached its climax in December 13, 1813, when the rebel forces were blockading the British controlled city of Port Joy. The blockade had lasted four months.

The French navy was out at sea battling a second rebel division, so the Rhodeve forces had optimistic hopes. On December 28 of the same year, a pro-British group of Rhodeve soldiers infiltrated the rebel blockade and was able to end the rebel hope of capturing the city. With the final destruction of the rebel navy, the French ended the rebel hope of winning the war.

The Rhodeve Revolutionary-Civil War ended on January 2, 1814.

Independence

Even after two years of fighting for independence, the United Kingdom and France was not going to give up their colony. Almost a year after the war, a man named Rubin Machin; a Rhodevan Native/British mixed child started a movement he called Rhodevus. The colony at the time was just referred to as The Joint Colony, but now that the people in essence gave it a name, they now had a stronger connection to the place and less of one to their European motherlands.

On July 2, 1815, a peaceful protest began, with two thousand people and was lead by Rubin Machin. The protest lasted until October 3 of the same year. This protest caused the European nations to fear for a second independence war, so they decided to put it to a vote first in the colony of how many favoured independence, then in between the two European nations to grant them.

The Rhodeve elections began October 20 1816 and ended October 24, with a staggering 89.7% in favour of independence. The joint British/French elections began March 5 1817 and ended March 12, with a 4:3 vote in favour of independence of the colony.

On May 5 1817, the Democratic Nation of Rhodevus was born.

Transition into Monarchy

The Democratic Nation of Rhodevus lasted for 8 years, but the country did not accomplish much in that time period. The citizens hoped that they would become a stronger force in the region by then, but little or no change had happened yet. Rubin Machin, who was at this time 53 years old was a minor senator in the government. Once again, the nation protested the government and democracy was put to a vote. The end result was 90% in favour of change and 100% in favour of having their first true leader, Rubin Machin, be crowned as King.

He was crowned on May 5, 1825. He began to write up new laws and actions that would limit the power of the monarchy as to not allow for all powerful and awful ruling dictators to follow him. He named his heir later that same year; Alfred Montgomery who was the previous Vice-President of the Democratic Rhodevus.

World War I

Being part of the British commonwealth, Rhodevus joined into the war once Britain did. The Rhodeve forces fought beside the British, Canadian and Russian forces.

World War II

By 1939, Rhodevus had completely separated form its European motherland, as well as the Commonwealth. So Rhodevus joined the war at its own pace, exactly two weeks (September 15, 1939) after Germany invaded Poland on September 1st 1939. Rhodevus first sent in troops to the United Kingdom to help guard the country and close ally with the help of the Canadian forces. Rhodevus then lead the Battle of Rostock, which was a failed first attempt at quickly ending the war. The Rhodeve army with troops from all over Europe joined together and tried to land on the beaches of this city, but were met with heavy resistance and ended up retreating with heavy casualties.

From that single battle, 2000 Rhodeve citizens were killed. Later on in the war, Rhodevus invaded Italy, in the first major blow to the Italian Fascist Army. With the help of Canadian and American troops, they were able to take Italy. The Battle for Greece is a long forgotten war between the German ally and Rhodevus. The Rhodeve Navy fought against the Greek one, trying to gain a foothold in South Europe. The battle, which began on October 5th 1941 and ended with a Rhodeve victory on September 13th, 1942, costed Rhodevus 10,000 lives, but lead to the eventual surrender of Greece and later many of Germany's greatest European allies.

Rhodevus also played a significant role in the Eastern stage, with the battle of Wake Island. Wake island is a small circular island near Japan that is a territory of the USA. The Japanese forces had a strong foothold in the island, making it an airbase for the capture of many islands in Indonesia. With 1000 Rhodeve soldiers sent to the island, only 150 survived the 2 month battle for control. The remaining survivors do not speak about what happened because, "The horrors will traumatize even the toughest person."

Rhodevus had a hand in the creation of the Atom bomb, with one of the lead scientists being a Native Rhodevan. Rhodevus was also there during the invasion of Germany, finally ending the War in the West.

King James Wars

King Benner was the reigning Monarch of Rhodevus. He added in new social and democratic policies that would help shape Rhodevus into what it is like now. Benner had two children; James and Diana, with James being the elder of the two by 4 years. King Benner died, being named King Benner the Great, leaving in his will his successor, which happened to be Diana. Diana, who was away at the time of the Reading of the Will, did not know untilshe returned.

James was angry at his younger sister being named monarch, decided to take matters into his own hands. He swayed the allegiance of the 6 Premiers of Rhodevus onto his side. They named him the king's heir and later the King of Rhodevus. James was also able to gain control of the army, navy and air force. Richard Weivar, did not want to have this man become the new king, so he fled the Imperial Palace. Admiral Micheal Timmel, stayed with James hoping to help him make good decisions during his reign.

This began poorly, for once Diana returned home, she was kidnapped and imprisoned. Captain Richard Weivar, who was a close friend and ally of King Benner knew that Diana was meant to take the throne, so started a rebel group in Port Joy. Many other nations and soon to be allies helped Weivar in securing the city, and then the country, freeing the nation of James's reign. Diana was later freed.

Almost a year later, the terrorist group; the Bannerless Brothers, took control of a building holding many ambassadors. National Security helped to rid the building of the terrorists, but not before the Imperial Palace was attacked and captured. Here, Richard Weivar, along with the security, freed Diana and saved the palace.

Finally, King James was acknowledged as the leader of the Bannerless Brothers; as he planned the attack on the ambassadors. The nation was attacked once again by foreign and internal forces, nearly taking control of Rhodevus. Richard Weivar; who was promoted to General, helped retake the nation and later killed James himself, finally ending the King James Wars. The Bannerless Brothers have gone into hiding since then, and the aggressor nation has long since disappeared.
