Capital City: Avalon
Major Cities: San Loma, San Salvacion, Los Canas, Comberth,
Meriton, Northpoint, St. Ark, Anderson
Economic System: Mixed Capitalism
Aeseria has a primarily free-market economy, but a
series of legislations have enacted regulations on the economy
to prevent the domination of monopolies. For healthcare, a
two-tier healthcare system is utilized.
National Ideas
Home of the Free: As the first country to overthrow
their monarchy, most citizens of Aeseria consider themselves to
be the bastion, and perhaps the cradle, of modern democracy. As
such, their core values of individual liberty are tough to
compromise. Aeserian citizens are keen to avoid the extremes of
the left or right, and many would rather fight to the death than
accept another authoritarian regime. Foreign interference in the
government will be met with an equally violent reaction.
Victors of the Emmerian Continental War: Having emerged
victorious from the war against Estovasia several years ago, the
Aeserian Armed Forces have developed a dangerously complacent
attitude, and the populace are perhaps too confident in their
defense. While the Second Republic retains a sizable navy during
peacetime, the land forces are severely lacking, and a mass
mobilization will have to occur before the country is prepared
for another war.
Roaring Twenties: Since the turn of the decade, Aeseria
has been in the midst of an economic boom. Gross domestic
product, stock values, and birth rates all continue to
skyrocket, and many optimistic Aeserians hope to find a more
prosperous life in the growing industrial sector. While the
current economic stability continues to bring wealth and
prestige, several economic experts are wary of an eventual
crash, as continuing leverage rates may result in an economic
bubble of untold proportions.
Emmeria First: With the inauguration of Geoffrey
Colburn, the Aeserian government has decided to continue their
"Emmeria First" policy of isolation towards the outside world.
The population has no interest in being tangled in foreign
affairs outside of the continent, and the government will strive
to avoid being dragged into any unnecessary struggles, be it
alliances, trade organizations, or wars. Instead, effort will be
shifted to maintaining old relations with the other Emmerian
countries and the Aeserian Dominions.
[center]History[/center]
[spoiler=History]
Not much information is known about the Proto-Emmerian
cultures. It is believed in popular theory that the first
inhabitants of the continent migrated north from East and West
Cascadus, between 35,000 to 30,000 BC, using now nonexistent
land bridges. The first use of bronze weapons originated along
the southern coast in 3,000 BC, and iron tools were developed
during the 8th Century BC. It was about this time that the term
“Aeseria,” Proto-Emmerian for “our land,” first began use.
By 700 BC, the Western Emmeria consisted of several
fractured kingdoms. The two largest kingdoms were the kingdoms
of Califia, to the east, and Orenia, along the western coast.
Through a series of conquests, these two kingdoms conquered the
smaller provinces between the coasts and modern-day Kivoland. In
530 BC, the royal families of Califia and Orenia merged through
several marriages, combining the two kingdoms to form the
Kingdom of Aeseria. From 400 BC until 1 AD, the Kingdom began a
series of conquests, in order to expand northwards and
eastwards. Initial conquests were successful, but by the turn of
the millennia the indigenous tribes to the north and the Kivs to
the east grinded the invasions to a stalemate. The
previously-taken land was annexed into the Kingdom, and with the
crowning of Alexander I and the publishing of the Nosiben, the
Kingdom entered its first golden age.
After the crowning, the golden age lasted until 510 AD,
when the Kingdom came into contact with the newly-discovered
Estovasian Empire. Powerful from their recent expeditions into
Arxian territory, this empire was immediately considered a
rival, but a steady peace continued for several centuries. In
1000 AD, Aeserians began to explore the lands to the south,
trading and making contact with Hysjann as well as the ancient
peoples of West Cascadus, whom the Emmerians first descended
from. At this point, the large islands of Khesed and Newfield to
the west were colonized. These colonies marked the evolution of
the Aeserian Kingdom into the Aeserian Empire.
In the mid-fourteenth century AD, Aeseria entered the
Age of Exploration. Major trading initiated a naval rivalry
between Estovasia and Aeseria, and by the turn of the century
each empire’s navies engaged each other upon contact. However,
none of these naval skirmishes snowballed into a major war, and
peace was maintained. In 1403, Estovasia began their conquest of
Kivoland. After the Kiv king Sobieslaw was assassinated, and the
Kivish territory began to fold, Aeserian troops entered the
western regions of the Kingdom in order to protect it from the
approaching Estovasian armies. With the Estovasians quickly
approaching from the east, the Aeserian armies were met with
little resistance, and the takeover was bloodless. The
territories conquered by the Estovasians were annexed into their
empire, and the eastern portions of Kivoland were similarly
annexed into Aeseria.
In 1530, gunpowder was introduced to the continent, and
by 1600, muskets and cannons were the main weapons in the
Aeserian arsenal. This led to declaration of an Aeserian
“manifest destiny” to the lands of Cascadus, and the land was
invaded in 1656. The West Cascadian tribes put up a fierce
resistance, but in the face of large numbers and superior
technology, they eventually faced defeat. In 1672, the
resistance capitulated; afterwards, the Aeserian colonies along
the northern shore began to settle farther and farther south.
Later, in 1730, war broke out between the Aeserian Empire and
the -GAB-. A naval war stalemated until 1735, when Aeserian
marines successfully landed on the island. Soon after, the
kingdom capitulated, and it was similarly annexed into the
Empire.
A period of peace lasted until the 1760s, after which
the Industrial Revolution began. After the discovery of coal in
the mountains of West Khesed, Aeseria began to rapidly
industrialize. This industrialization, coupled by the increased
loss of resources to maintaining control in Cascadus and -GAB-,
led to poorer and poorer life quality for the Aeserian lower
class. Tensions between the lower and upper class reached a
breaking point in 1787, when Imperial troops opened fire on a
crowd protesting outside the Royal Palace in Avalon. This led to
a massive movement to overthrow the monarchy; workers in
factories and coal mines declared the National Strike, grinding
the economy to a halt. Imperial attempts to end the strike
through military force resulted in Republican militias engaging
the Loyalist troops. This first skirmish, the Battle of Vitoze,
marked the beginning of the Aeserian Revolution. The island of
Khesed quickly overthrew the Imperial garrison, and a de facto
democratic capital was established in Northpoint. Rural areas
soon threw off Loyalist control after a majority of the military
defected to the Republican forces; shortly after, the Royal
Family’s sphere of influence hardly reached past Avalon’s
borders. In 1799, Republican forces overran the garrison of the
Royal Palace, which resulted in reigning Emperor Hasim II
quickly being executed by guillotine. The rest of the monarchy
followed suit; the Royal Palace was burned to the ground, and
everyone connected to the Royal Bloodline were captured and
similarly put to death. After the Revolution, the monarchy was
abolished, and the First Aeserian Republic was formed.
On January 1, 1800, the First Constitution was adopted.
The colonies of West Cascadus and -GAB- were allowed limited
independence, evolving into federal protectorates known as
Dominions. However, this government was created in haste, and
several flaws became present through the decades. The Republic
remained steady until 1860, were a series of internal disputes
corruption created a hateful sentiment towards the First
Republic government. Skirmishes between the state militias of
Califia and Orenia over trade proved that the weak central
government was inadequate to maintain peace. Consequently,
Federalists gained power after a landslide election, and a
Second Constitutional Convention was arranged. This constitution
detailed a stronger central government, and created a
presidential system. The ratification of this Constitution
changed the name of the Aeserian Republic to the Federal
Republic of Aeseria, commonly referred to as the Second
Republic.
The turn of the twentieth century saw continued peace
and economic progress; In 1903, the first powered flight was
achieved by Aeserian bicycle smiths in Comberth, which pioneered
the way of aerial warfare. This groundbreaking invention was
immediately put to use in the following Great Emmerian
Continental War of 1906, when Estovasia declared war on the
Federal Republic. After a period of economic depression, the
Estovasian Kingdom decided the only way to survive would be to
annex eastern Aeserian territory. Estovasia slowly advanced
until 1910, when Aeserian and Cascudian troops counterattacked
and pushed them back to the original borders. From 1910 to 1912,
the war, now fought over modern-day Frivoland, stagnated into
trench warfare. This led to the war ending in a white peace
through the Treaty of Kaan-Gurru. As part of the treaty, an
independent Frivoland was founded from territory gained from the
Estovasians during their conquests several centuries earlier,
making Kivoland independent for the first time in over 400
years. Later, in 1914, Aeseria agreed to cede their ethnic
Kivish territories along their eastern border to Kivoland,
creating the modern Emmerian borders.
It is now 1920, and there has been a lukewarm peace
between the Emmerian countries for eight years. However, at the
turn of decade, the world has begun to slip farther to chaos, as
the world's unstable monarchies begin to falter after the Great
War. Should the communists dominate Verusea, and the fascists in
Ryudinia and the Cascades, then the claws of tyranny may once
again grasp for the light of Aeserian democracy. A new Twilight
Struggle has emerged; how long can the Federal Republic hope to
once again avoid a conflict on its shores?

[center]Religion[/center]
[spoiler=Valrusianism]
The Old Teachings
The Old Teachings explain of how Roz, the Greatfurir,
came upon the universe as it was an empty plane of soil. He had
with him nothing but a seed, which he planted in the fertile
ground. This seed grew to be a great tree, bearing fruits that
were the stars and planets, out on the far reaches of the
branches. One of these fruits came to be known as -planetname-.
Satisfied with his creation, Roz took up residence in the great
tree, so he could admire his work. Though proud at first, Roz
soon became bored and lonesome living in the great tree. He took
a piece of himself and crafted the goddess Resi, whom he
married. All other gods are their descendants, the eldest of
them Valrus. He then breathed into the wind, and his breath
landed on Hostren, blessing it with life. The greatest of this
life was Man, made in the image of Roz himself. Roz took special
care in governing these men justly and bestowing them with many
gifts. As Roz grew older, he became bored with even his new
creations, and took leave of the entire realm, to walk amongst
the heavens for eternity. Before he took his leave, Roz left his
eldest son Valrus in charge of both the realm of gods and the
realm of mortals, as he favored Valrus more than any other of
his children. Baz, Valrus’ younger brother, took spite at this
and revolted, beginning a great war between the gods. This was a
time of chaos and bloodshed, so much so that Roz saw it
necessary to return and sort it out. He banished Baz to the
roots below the great tree, where he would shepherd the lost
souls of cowardly mortals, and those of false heart. He placed
Valrus in charge of Hearthaeven, the realm where brave and true
spirits would be admitted. Roz left again, and the gods have
remained relatively without conflict since.
The New Teachings
In 1 AD, King Alexander I published “The Nosiben,” which
consisted of the New Teachings. It is a universally accepted
addition to the religion describing a more modern direct
interference of the gods in the mortal world. It is described
that when the fractured Emmerians were at their weakest point,
during the center of the dark ages, the god Valrus rose from the
sea to speak to an Aeserian hunting party. He said he would only
provide the power they needed to be reborn as a people to those
who would use it correctly, and he trusted the group as one of
the bravest, most pure of heart in the kingdom. The Aeserians
accepted and were taught the ways of thriving in their climate.
In return he asked they spread their influence, and his word, by
means of glorious conquest. And so they did. The hunting party
became a band of great warriors, traveling far and wide
spreading their message and knowledge to the worthy, and slaying
peasants in righteous combat. Their message became gospel to the
people of Aeseria. The leader of the party, Alexander I became
the next king of Aeseria, and a new golden age came upon the
kingdom. This golden age and the scripture of the Nosiben
prompted the transformation of the Kingdom into an Empire, and
initiated a series of crusades against the Arxians in the north
and the Estovasians in the east. From this period until the
Aeserian Revolution, the king was considered divine and blessed
by Valrus’ will.
Reformation
After the collapse of the Aeserian Empire, the destruction of
the monarchy and the Emperor’s execution proved they were not
immortal; consequently, the Old and New Teachings (now commonly
referred to as “Valrusianism”) faced a series of reformations.
Separation of church and state was enacted, and the government
no longer spread the religion as official mandate. The Nosiben’s
teachings now are interpreted in a less militaristic manner,
which promote bravery, courage, and chivalry for all actions in
one’s life.
Modern Statistics
As years progressed, most of the Old Gods have ceased to be
worshiped, save for Roz and Valrus. Currently, about 70% of the
Aeserian population consider themselves Valrusian.

re-establish diplomatic embassies and channels within
eachother's capitals, in order to heal the divide between our

Greetings from Zverskograd,
As the acting head of the Provisional Government of Zverskograd,
I, Sofiya of the Voronin Dynasty, would like to humbly request
an exchange of embassies between our two nations, in an effort
to open an official diplomatic channel between our countries.
The Empire of Ryudinia has been dissolved and replaced with the
Provisional Government of Zverskograd, but we believe it would
be simpler for both parties if the previous embassy of the
Empire were to be reused for these purposes.
Sofiya Voronina
Acting Head of the Provisional Government of Zverskograd
