Azad

Founding of A New Nation
Azad's story first begins on the eve of a civil war. Azad, know as Astrya before the Aristios Civil War, declared independence as Aristios fell into a war between the two factions of the Empire of Aristios and the Commonwealth of Aristios. This decision was brought on by a seemingly distant and uninterested peoples. Representation was limited and the fires of war in mainland Aristios helped to distance the already apathetic people of Astrya. As other provinces within Aristios broke off to form independent nations, Astrya followed suit, with a new name: The Trader's Federation of Azad.

Choosing of A Name
To start a budding nation, a name had to be chosen first. While originally names like Yiddos, Yiddas, Khuyiddos, Kos, Hemanutha, and Djan were among the litter of names, Azad won out in the end. Kos as a not-so-close second runner up was defeated in a vote of nine for Azad and two for Kos. Azad's name translated from real world Persian, means "free" and Azadian means "freeman"; a characteristic that perfectly described the newly freed people.

Early History or the "Beginning Age of Azad"
This period of time, the "Beginning Age of Azad", can be simplified into the formation of the government and early diplomatic relations. The government structure can be simplified into two simple words: "Monarchist Oligarchy" (More information on this can be found in government-structure). Relations during this time are bare bones and mainly smaller matters. Notable treaties include the Taernsbia-Azad Defensive Pact, recognition of Abaddon's independence from Aristios, and joining the Peacekeeper's Union of Northwestern Eldham (P.U.N.E.) and later known as League of the Setting Sun (L.S.S.).

Middle History or the "Growing Age of Azad"
The middle chapter of Azad, or the "Growing Age of Azad" encapsulates the growth of Azad's borders and populations as well as a time of instability in the outlying wilderness. Azad's exponential growth during this time is attributed to propaganda/recruiting campaigns and sound diplomatic maneuvers. Advertising Azad brought many new people to the nation to help in the expanding of new towns and cities. This new work force brought on new projects and ideas to help the young nation flourish. This influx of citizens also brought a territorial expansion in the way of Ostartia, an island nation to the east of Azad. This peaceful transition of land added to the growing federation. With the good also came the bad in the form of bandit attacks and squatters. Bandits seemed to flock to Isothonikos, the capital of Azad during this time, to attack during key moments. These bandits came to Isothonikos during important government meetings that took place only once a week and attacked when there was a large concentration of players, but these interlopers were quickly defeated by Azadian forces, never to return. While the bandits were drove out, another problem presented itself: squatters. Squatters had formed a town a little ways south of Isothonikos, which resulted in heated discussion and some complications. While CSkiddy and a user only known as "Skipp" debated over the land, users Kaladrian and Potato_Dragons fought with Monkey_Monks outside of Wahatayn. While a trial did not happen, it almost cost negations. It's notable that both parties acted in the best interest of their factions. Eventually the squatters left peacefully and Azad made an effort to clear every possible entry point of squatters into Azad, which led to the "Baumstadt Incident" near the "Fall of Azad".

Late History or the "Fall of Azad"
The beginning of the end for Azad began slowly and then erupted into violence. This period in time is very short, but has influences from every time period in Azad. While the line blurs between the "Growing Age of Azad" and the "Fall of Azad", a clear line can be made for the "fall" with the beginning of tensions with Aristios as a result of the "Baumstadt Incident". Tensions with the origin nation of Azad had been tenuous since even before the Aristios Civil War ended. Some users in Aristios called to "GET ASTRYA BACK" and "Let's launch a full scale invasion of Astrya" only days after Azad had declared independence. Weather these were jokes or not, comments like these only served to inflame worry among Azadians. As messages and debates between the two nation's leaders continued to do nothing but exacerbate pressure on the peace, accusations finally arrived after the clearing of Baumstadt as a anti-squatter precaution by Azadian citizens, now labeled as the "Baumstadt Incident" due to the confusion and arguments surrounding it. On a patrol of Azad by users Imviplayss, Super_abbe, Potato_Dragons, Pandasabotage, Dudelyfudder, they came in contact with the fort called Astrya Novum. This created a conflict with users SirLad, Azrielz, and others in which a fight ensued. This incident was the straw that broke the camel's back for Aristii-Azadian relations, eventually resulting in a mass abandonment of Azad and Stoneworks by much of Azad's government and citizens due to toxicity. This collapse of the government except for two high-ranking officials, users BMan28yye and Imviplayss, resulted in the dissolution of the Trader's Federation of Azad ."+== Communiqué from the Trade Federation of Azad ==+""Aristii Chancellor specifically heard of this and decided this was an affront to them as they believed that city was theirs. Yes, they believed the inactive city, in territory ceded to us when we broke away months ago, and has been marked as Azadian territory in maps these past months…was theirs. They demanded compensation to which we obviously refused. Their next decision was to have leadership in Aristios CLAIM TERRITORY ELSEWHERE on the coast of Azad. Many may have wondered why Azad left Aristios during the coup. Is it so hard to imagine when these are the types of decisions made? We hope this situation resolves itself quickly and professionally. We don’t need any unnecessary drama and Aristios certainly doesn’t need a greater stain on its name. We don’t see this as a reflection of the Aristii people who we know to be good and honest, but the leadership that plagues and has plagued the nation over the past few months. If the leadership doesn’t remove this claim by tonight let that be a reflection of the “new and improved” Aristios. Azad will remain open to discussions and mediated by @Apollyon if the Aristii leadership is fine with it.""To finish this off, here is Sirlad's own map showing Azad controlling its entire peninsula: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/909146865293987881/922558878372212816/unknown.png""And the territory they claimed in Azad: https: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/909146865293987881/922567055214018600/unknown.png Hail Azad!""-Deleted User (Thought to be Rico)"

Post History or the "Age of New Azad"
After the complete dissolution of Azad from outside influence, a small band of citizens from the now defunct Trader's Federation of Azad created a "New Azadian State" to keep the Dream, history, culture, and legacy of Azad alive. These resilient users: BMan28yye, Pandasabotage, Imviplayss, GammaSean, Yuh, reeboy23_alt, Potato_Dragons, and MikeCoffee decided to keep on going by establishing the nation of New Azad: a government in exile. After the "Fall of Azad", some Azadian citizens decided to join back with Aristios and assimilate, but they still try and keep Azad's history and culture alive within another nation. Users super_abbe1 and Dudley_Fudder, previous Azadian citizens, helped to create the province of Astrya Novum in the place of Azad. This province under marshal law by user Azrielz served as an attempt to integrate Azad, but now military presence has lessened with prospects of a governor loyal to Aristios. The Aristios government then labeled all users still in league with Azad in any way as terrorists, even the innocent that had not participated in the battle at Astrya Novum. This denouncement of New Azad and talks of a trial for those that had participated in the battle at Fort Astrya Novum eventually blew over as evidence was brought forth and it seems as though the supposed trial was either forgotten about or did not matter anymore. During this time the U.A.P.P. (United Azadian Preservationist Party) was created in Aristios by former members of Azad to keep the history and culture safe in the homeland of all Azadians, even if it was under the government of Aristios. Another event on the path was the separatist movement of the A.S.P. or Azadian Socialist Party by user reeboy23_alt, but the A.S.P. is a insignificant state attached to Happanika, the capital of New Azad. Events since have taken a turn for the better as it seems as though New Azad is on a path of peace and a new start in this chaotic world. During this time of peace, New Azad has begun the development of Happanika and finding fellow allies within Eldham. One such state New Azad found friendship in was Aquaris, an island technocracy very near. This growing relationship and need of allies lead to New Azad transforming into the Technocratic Azadian State and entering into the Technocratic Concordat. While they have placed a heavier focus on progress, the Nuvenos still are an important part of Azad. Socialist independence!

The A.S.P (Azadian Socialist Party) has broke off of New Azad and is renaming it's self. The first city we are building is called Nothos. Glory to the worker! Hail the Worker! Hail Azad!

-reeboy23_alt Fall if socialism in Azad

The Socialist State of Nothos (AKA as Azadian Socialist Party) is no longer a thing do to no land, no members, and lack of a army, and the fall of Nothos dose count the Socialist Party so there is no more socialism in Azad. Hail the worker, Glory to the worker, Glory to Azad.

-reeboy23_alt Official Announcement from the Technocratic State of Azad

As of 3-21-22, the New Azadian State(New Azad) has officially become a technocracy in a unanimous vote. While this may change the aesthetic and goals of New Azad, we still hold true to our ancestral ways and lore. This change mainly stemmed from our desire to develop New Azad as a beacon of progress and our relationship with other nations that share our goals. We will continue to serve the Nuvenos and the Legacy of Azad, but we will do so with an intent on the advancement of technology. This change will not affect any of our existing diplomatic relations, but will ally our selves with the Technocrat Concordat.

-@BMan28yye | Azad, @Pandasabotage | New Azad, @Yuh | Aristios & Azad, @MikeCoffee, @FaveCookie (Aquaris)

Hail the Technocratic Concordat!

To Keep the Dream Alive!

Hail Azad!

Post-Post History or the "Birth of the Monarchal Republic"
Following the collapse of The Federation due to military invasion by Aristios, the former nation had been turned into the province of Astrya - the former name before independence - under Aristios. While a military occupation and pacification force had been stationed in Astya for some time, they were eventually pulled out due to the willingness of the local Azadians to cooperate. Under Aristios, the province had grown to heights close to that of the Federation during it's peak. The people and land rich, moderate autonomy, and representation in the Senate of Aristios ensured that the people had freedoms. This time was not to last as it had as the people and leadership of Astrya had felt that they had been disconnected from the rest of Aristios for some time. Disconnected by geography, culture, and religion, the people had drifted farther and farther away from the Federal Republic - especially in leu of the separation of Zamotz. This detachment came to a head when a bill was proposed by the leadership of Astrya(Abbe, Dudley, aac, Catlovee, BMan28yye, Yuh) to the leadership of Aristios(Logui and then transferring to Echo after the election). Whith their arguements made, Aristios granted Astrya independence as a protectorate. This nation, newly christened "The Monarchal Republic of Astrya", created a new government with a balance between the senate and the Vassilias(the ceremonial monarch of Azad, which is in reverence to the Odigos of old). Now, the Republic stands tall and ready to face whatever challenges that should be thrown at them!

Making up for past mistakes:

Today I am glad to make it official that Astrya Novum will be granted its desired autonomy and it is officially being made a Protectorate of Aristios.

From now on Astrya Novum will be known as the Monarchical Republic of Astrya!

Though it has been fun having them in our government for the last 5 ish months now it is time that they get their well deserved freedom and ability to do as they wish. Now do not get me wrong: as a protectorate they will still be a part of Greater Aristios however they are now free to run internal politics as they wish as well as much much more. They will still be represented by the Aristios purple on maps however they will fly their own flag.

I do hope that this can make up for any wrongs we as a nation may have caused to Astrya and we wish to remain close for as long as time.

Everyone Congratulate Astrya!

Ave Aristios!

Ave Astrya!

Ave The Republic!

The Trader's Federation of Azad
(Written by CSkiddy before the Fall of Azad)

Welcome to the Trader’s Federation of Azad! Our nation is founded on principles of freedom, faith, and (above all) wealth. There is, however, more to Azad than it’s principles. Across the peninsula you’ll find verdant forests, lush and humid tropical jungles, and vast expanses of desert. In the northeast, situated on its coastal isle is the Jewel of the nation, and the capital, Isothonikos. It’s rich culture and Nuvenossi faith are the beating heart of the nation. It’s neighbor, Skagos is another island, home to a seafaring people’s and their sturdy wooden houses. To the South is the city of Haila, a sandstone citadel; It’s great walls and palace spires piercing the clouds. Just West of Skagos are the glorious sky islands of Su’il, a great temple to the Nuvenos providing safe passage to the islands above. The desert-warrior city of Saldae lies just south of them and participates largely in the protection of our great state. Finally are the cities of Codagos, a Kossi colony in the dry hills, and Gammonia, ocean gate of Azad. Whether it’s singing praises to the gods, crafting lucrative trade deals, or building monumental structures to stand the test of time we hope you can find a home among us! Glory to the Nuvenos! Hail Azad!

New Azad
(Written by BMan28yye)

The New Azadian State, known as New Azad, is a small island nation located on the western side of Eldham. The capital of New Azad, Happanika, sits to the North of Redoriv's easern border, East of the world border, South of Aquaris, and West of Astrya Novum. The little island that is Happanika is of influenced by the humid sea air and the tropical climate to create a architecture that is very similiar to the historical buildings of Azad.

Lore
(Written by TranstronicEngineer)

The Flag of Azad
The Trader's Federation of Azad is home to the wealthy and holy. It is the region known as the Gilded Land, buried with sand and gold. The nation bears a flag, like all states, symbolic of all it means to be a citizen of the country. Symbolic of what it means to be an Azadian.

Azadians live in a hot region, and one of our primary gods is the sun god, so the sun is an important symbol to us. The sun on the flag contains three swirls in the center, which are symbolic of our three gods in the Nuvenos triumvirate. The gold is symbolic of our love of money in Azad, it being a trade nation filled with greedy yet pleasant merchants. The red and orange symbolize fire, not only in reference to our hot climate, but also in reference to our fiery souls. We love our money, religion, and freedom, and will fight for it all fiercely. The spirit of Azad is one of raging fire, enveloping the entire land with its warm embrace.

May all that bear witness to our shining flag know of our golden hue flame that burns deep in the core of our souls. Let all know of our wealth and prestige that we flash with dignity. Let all know of our hardened bodies, torn and stitched back together by the sands of time. And let all know of our divine blades, so sharp that we may pierce our enemies so deep, our memory will be ingrained into their minds for eternity.

Azad: "Home of the wealthy, holy, and free!"

- Ancient Azadians -
(Written by TranstronicEngineer)

In times of old, existed the Ancient Azadians. They were a people of dark complexion, which bore runic tattoos all over. Their hair was often dark, most being black, braided with gold rings. Most notable was their yellow eyes, though.

The Ancient Azadians gazed at gold so often, that many believe the valuable resource reflected its very color into their eyes. Their "golden eyes" became synonymous with their name.

Their name would eventually fall into obscurity, though. Upon being corrupted by the Deep Dweller, Tőnuth Tarr, the Azadians of old were shunned by their gods. Their wealth dwindled, and their home became a stranger. Over the course of several years they would leave Azad and join new nations. They mixed in with other races and cultures, pure bloods eventually dying out. Rumors persist that few pure bloods remain to this day, though, immortalized through blessings by the gods. Some say it is the work of dark magic instead, if the rumors are to be believed

Those of the modern day Azad are mixed, most being of Kossi decent. There are few though who still bear the blood of Ancient Azadians. They are usually recognizable by their eyes. Like their predecessors, they too bear the golden eyes, but they don't always show. It is said that some people of the old blood only have their golden eyes revealed upon returning to Azad. Others may always have had gold eyes, though.

- Azadian Armor -
(Written by TranstronicEngineer) When it comes to modern Azadian armaments, the style is quite unique. The design is inspired by both ancient Azadian and Kossi culture. Curved shoulder pads and sharp points are prevalent across Azadian style. Leather skirts and fins are common in Kossi style.

The armor is different depending on the material, with different helmets, fins, and carvings. Iron and leather armor are typically removed of Azadian runic carvings. Orange tunics and frills are almost always associated with iron and leather creations, being a sign of lower ranking. Iron and leather armor are typically worn by the low class in Azad. Gold armor is a rare occurrence in Azad, being adorned only by the wealthy and powerful at special events. This armor is notable for its runic carvings, red fin, and closed helmet.

Daimond armor is common amongst the middle and high class of Azad. It bears runic carvings similar to gold armor, but with more references to the Nuvenos. Gold lining is prevalent among this armor, symbolic of wealth. The helmet has an almost T-shaped opening, inspired by Kossi design, and the chest piece has a purple gem in the middle. The fin is purple too, the purple coloring meant to serve as symbolism towards the Odigos.

Finally, there is the greatest of armor, Netherite armor. It is the rarest of armor to be found in Azad, only great warriors being equipped with such regalia. It has gold lining as well, and it's own set of runic carvings. The shoulder pads are more prominent in size, and have leather frills dangling from them. The helmet is open with a gold fin on top to symbolize holiness. Overall the armor is bulkier and simply stronger than all previous mentions.

Slight differences are apparent in the armor depending on where a person lives in Azad. Eastern Azadian armor features its own set of runic carvings, and has forward facing fins. Western Azadian armor features different runic carvings and has sideways facing fins.

- House Suddra Armor -
(Written by TranstronicEngineer) The armor of Azad is unique, featuring it's own style inspired by two different breeds of people. There's more than just the standard military armor, though. Each house that governs the nation has its own type of armor. Some are only slight adjustments to the standard gear, and others are quite different.

House Suddra is the house that patrons over all matters of religion in the nation. They are greatly dedicated to the Nuvenos as well as the divine leader of the nation, the Odigos. Because of their dedication, they've been selected to serve as the temple and royal guard. They bear golden masks connected to their helmets, and white tapestries draped over their armor. They also have white fins on top of their helmets.

The soldiers that serve as protectors of holy sites as well as government officials are known as the Tronik Guard. They are considered the most elite warriors in Azad, fending off foreign invaders and protecting the nation's leaders.

Government Structure
(Written by CSkiddy)

The Trader's Federation of Azad
Okay, so. The Government of Azad will be a Monarchist Oligarchy led by the Odigos and Patriarchs/Matriarchs of 5 or so Houses. The first 5 or so Patriarchs/Matriarchs of the Houses will be chosen by the Odigos from among those that volunteer except in the case of an overlap wherein the applicants in question will be voted on from among their House. These 5 leaders will vote and drive the bulk of the decision making for the nation. All citizens will be required to join a House. Each House will have a specific set of characteristics/mission statements that will offer a deeper sense of identity within the nation as well as a purpose. As of now, the 5 Houses will be 1) A House of War 2) A House of Wealth 3) A House of Infrastructure 4) A House of Agriculture 5) A House of Faith. Each House will have its own set of channels within the National discord where they can coordinate and plan public policy/project proposals, write lore for their House, and anything else a House Patriarch/Matriarch may feel is necessary.

Votes from within the Houses for new Patriarchs/Matriarchs will be held every two weeks on a day to be determined based on the greatest availability. Alongside these House Patriarchs/Matriarchs are Government positions such as Minister of War, Admin., etc. These positions will be chosen by the Odigos to start and can be replaced by a simple majority vote within the House Council. It’s possible to be both a Patriarch/Matriarch and hold one of these positions, but in the case that such a person is unable to fulfill their duties, will be replaced. A House Council meeting will be held weekly on a day to be determined by House Patriarchs/Matriarchs based on the greatest availability. Here, policy for the nation will be discussed and votes will be made. At the end of meetings, House Patriarchs/Matriarchs will have the opportunity to present their own proposals that can be voted on. House Patriarchs/Matriarchs can organize projects within their own cities at their discretion, but if they want to incorporate the manpower, land, or wealth of the nation will need to present such a project before the council.

In addition it’s both possible and encouraged that Sub-Houses are formed and exist within the broader Houses. For example, a House that prioritizes the production of sugarcane can form within the broader Agriculture House. You are required, however to have at least 2 members within and present your Sub-House and it’s name to both the Odigos and your House Patriarch/Matriarch for official recognition as a legitimate House. In the case that the leader of a Sub-House is voted House Patriarch/Matriarch the person will remain leader of their Sub-House and their Sub-House will assume the role of the broader House in Power. The previous Broader House will be demoted to a Sub-House. Sub-House elections/interactions are considered outside the legal realm of the Government and are expected to organize themselves.

New Azad
The New Azadian State, while keeping true to many aspects of the government, has developed an adapted from of governance. The largest change to the government would be the dissolution of the positions of Odigos and Defteros. This removal roles within the government was to honor the positions(Formerly occupied by CSkiddy and TranstronicEngineer respectively) as well as to create a council of the most powerful and influential citizens of Azad. This "Gilded Council" (called so to honor the former name of it in The Federation) serves as the only governing body within New Azad in which laws, policies, and other decisions are decided upon by a majority vote. All councilors hold equal voting power and responsibilities in the service to Azad. Councilors are chosen by majority vote. Current Councilors: Pandasabotage, Imviplayss, and BMan28yye. The House system of governance has remained intact with the minor change that the first Patriarchs/Matriarchs instead being chosen by the council.

Laws
(Written by CSkiddy)

National Law
National law breaches will henceforth result in a fiscal punishment, while house laws/disputes are punished according to the respective patriarch's discretion (this can include gladiatorial combat among other things) Moving forward acts of


 * 1) -Theft
 * 2) -Homicide
 * 3) -Treason
 * 4) -Heresy

Are made illegal and are punished in accordance with their respective severity (ranked from top to bottom above)


 * 1) Acts of theft include (but aren’t necessarily limited to) that of taking items dropped on accident, items from chests, and property.
 * 2) Acts of homicide include the murder of the citizenry of our nation/cities as well as diplomats or other foreigners within or outside our borders. The punishment is especially severe in such cases that result in diplomatic incidents.
 * 3) Acts of treason include any conspiracy to overthrow or harm the leadership or sovereignty of our nation and our cities.
 * 4) Acts of heresy include the illegal practice or proselytizing of pagan faiths within or outside of our borders. All citizens are expected to practice, in some form or another, the Nuvenos faith and live in accordance with its principles.

Law of Claimed Agriculture
Moving forward, farming outside of claimed land is illegal and punishable with fines up to the discretion of gov. officials. This is in an effort to provide those that specialize in agriculture the ability to make adequate money and to boost the local economy.

Added later by BMan28yye in New Azad: (Take heed that these laws can be changed by the government at anytime to ensure the "freedom, faith, and (above all) wealth" of all citizens of Azad)

Policies
(Written by CSkiddy)

Policies are edicts from the government of Azad to the people. They are not as harsh as laws, but have the same authority.

Recruitment Act
Moving forward citizens are awarded a sum of $500 for every new citizen they bring into the nation. If those new citizens remain active for a week or more they are awarded an additional sum of $600

House Changing Act
Moving forward those that join a house will have one free opportunity to change houses. Following this they will be charged for every switch. The cost of the change in houses will increase with each consecutive switch at a rate to be determined accordingly.

Added later by BMan28yye in New Azad: (Take heed that these policies can be changed by the government at anytime to ensure the "freedom, faith, and (above all) wealth" of all citizens of Azad)

Religion - The Nuvenos
(Written by CSkiddy and TranstronicEngineer)

What is The Nuvenos?
The Nuvenos is a triumvirate of three gods.. Happanika (the dancing god), Kipek (the truthsayer), and Visveos (god of woes) are their names and are worshipped at the discretion of any practitioner of the Nuvenos faith. They preside over certain aspects of the natural world and a number of minor gods serve their interests. Each god has its own creation story that their disciples claim to be divine doctrine. The patron and primary god of Isothonikos is Happanika. Colloquially considered the dancing god he presides over the aspects of fire and fertility as well.

The Nuvenossi Faith (Abridged)
In the Nuvenossi Faith there are THREE primary gods; Happanika, Visveos, and Kipek. Depending on your particular beliefs ONE of these gods created the world and all of its inhabitants (Happanists-Believe Happanika created the world) (Visveists- Believe Visveos created the world) (Kipekists-Believe Kipek created the world) or they all worked together (Nuvenists). No matter what though we all believe that the three exist. There are also a great number of Demi-gods that represent the aspects of the natural world. They each serve one of the three primary gods. Finally there is a spurned fourth god, Tőnuth Tarr. He represents all things evil and corrupted. He presides in his hell and works to undermine the Nuvenos and their creations. This is a short summary of our faith and the more elaborate texts can be read in the Faith channel.

The Nuvenos And What They Patron Over
Happanika presides over courage and strength basically. Kipek presides over truth and wisdom. And Visveos presides over emotions and healing.
