United Socialist States of Eldham

"Vipipo dé'i malojos yo Éldoxo'O!" The United Socialist States of Eldham (USSE) is a socialist nation in the far Southeast of Eldham on the continent of Serrona. It was founded by Aboniert Ormnidus and is currently led by General Secretary Chelovek Iz Serebra.

Sérotat Kingdom and Sérotoix Civil War (In Lore)
The land in Eldham that the USSE is situated upon is in Eastern Serrona, an area that had remained inhabited for possibly thousands of years. After the development of agriculture in the region, semi-permanent settlements were created on and off in the area. At this point in history two main species came to inhabit the region of Eastern Serrona, being the Eternyri and the Lo'Oix each with their own unique cultural traits, religious affiliations, and beliefs.

The two peoples were first united during a fierce military campaign led by an olitex (The word meaning something close to 'king') by the name of Yatosir I, whom originated from the Lo'Oix tribes in Northern Vanargard. around thirty-two years before the arrival of Athaz the Traveler in Eldham. The man, though promising to increase the power of the region and promote power to the people, quickly fell into tyranny thus hanging forth roughly two decades of brutal authoritarianism.

After the introduction of the Travelers Tongue to the area by people from Western Serrona, and later Rathnir, it was at this time that a major linguistic shift began to take place in addition to a cultural one with the indigenous languages of the region first adopting written forms of language based upon the Tongue's scripts and structure. This introduction of foreign influence however also brought forth a wave of anti-monarchism resulting in distrust of the Sérotoix government and ultimately the breakout of a civil war.

At the time of the Rathnirians arrival to Eldham, this civil war was burning forth against those who wished for a democratic mode of government and those who supported the reign of Yatosir I. This is when the socialist ideology began to disseminate into Serrona and mixed with the already local desire for self-rule, sovereignty, and freedom, and ended up being picked by the rebel groups in the civil war.

Eventually the war came to an end fracturing the Sérotat Kingdom (Sérotat Olitex Idé in Lo'Oi) into areas controlled by five separate tribal leaders, one of these people being Aboniert Ormnidus from the Eternyri people living in Ljordmir, whom had travelled to Rathnir and studied nations such as Braznichiya and the UBSR. The five tribal leaders came to a consensus and established a foreign-inspired democratic government founded upon the ideology of socialism.

Formation of the USSE
After the creation of the Eldham world and server, several people began to settle in the Southeast quadrant on the continent now known as Serrona. One of these individuals were AboniertBigsky whom established the USSE. The nation was officially formed on May 28th, 2021. Aboniert appointed LeoBelgicus to be his Vice President and shortly after several cities such as Garkogorod, Port Crelov, and Fort Morskoy were established.

Expansion and the Treaty of Achadia
The territory of the USSE quickly came to expand both North and West after its foundation as a result of these areas being incredibly sparsely populated. There was also a small nation by the name of Achadia which the USSE would sign a treaty with (the Treaty of Achadia) which formed them into an autonomous state and a part of the union. The modern borders were settled upon not long after with the foundation of neighbors such as the Grand Colony of Xeka, Jarldom of Kolssonafell, and the Colony of Vanshire.

The Andlirian War of Subjugation
The United Socialist States of Eldham played a role of assistance during the Andlirian War of Subjugation which broke out between the nations of the Drakesland Autarchy (now the Regnum Drakaes) and Andliria. This war was promoted by Aboniert Ormnidus and cemented a long-lived alliance with Drakesland.

Death of Aboniert Ormnidus
On June 14th, 2021, the first President of the nation, Aboniert Ormnidus, suddenly passed away from a stroke resulting in the immediate promotion of Leo Belgicus to the role of the nation's President in order to finish his term, with him appointing than Chair of the National Assembly Xeroise Ronango'O to be his Vice President. In actuality outside of lore purposes, it is believed he was banned for exploits or account sharing.

The Second Coalition-Ellysian War and Ellysian Governorship
After the end of the First Coalition-Ellysian War there was a broad sentiment of distaste towards how the war had ended since the First Coalition and the UNA allowed for the Ellysian Empire to reform. Ultimately, when the Second Coalition-Ellysian War broke out, the USSE would join the Second Coalition and supply troops for battle as they had an increasing amount of military might and would be able to help. After the victory of the war and dissolution of the Ellysian Empire, they played a role as a governor for the Third Administrative Zone of the Coalition where they helped establish the nations of Cognia, Garxijos Yawos, the Confederation of Anarchist Communes, and the Helian Kingdom. After this, they would also become a member nation of the Anti-Radical Syndicate. After the war, the USSE also assisted in destroying Ellysian rebel groups and ultimately would host the criminal trial for Jjmoney08032 in the USSE-owned city of Port Crelov

Treaty of Vostroya
With nearby nations growing imperialistic and powerful, the United Socialist States of Eldham cemented an alliance with Xeka, a colony belonging to Sørgliste, in order to ensure peace in the region. They signed the Treaty of Vostroya which established this alliance and a defensive pact.

Tensions with Vanakunir
Tensions began to rise between Vanakunir and their neighbors after their war with Volonté because a town by the name of Alicuna had been set up on the Vanshirian border with the USSE's Autononomous State of Achadia. Things went peacefully however as the Mayor of Alicuna made an agreement to move any homes on the USSE's side of the river to the North, and that anyone who remains to the South can perhaps be given dual citizenship to the both the USSE and Vanakunir. This also resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Kamieniec with the colony of Newkunir that established a non-aggression pact between the nation of the USSE and the colony. This was met with anger however by Skinyee whom wanted to encourage a war in order to make territorial annexations in the States of Achadia and Vanargard.

This culminated in a request from Skinyee, the leader of Vanakunir, to the USSE and Xeka to join their nation, a request that they politely refused. Offers were made from the USSE to establish an economic pact so that Vanakunir could have access to the taiga and perhaps a non-aggression pact, but Skinyee declined this. After the refusal, Vanakunir laid claim to a Northern chunk of the USSE's territory which undeniably broke the previously signed Treaty of Kamieniec with Newkunir as the colony was going to assist in the oncoming war effort. This resulted in the beginning of the Kunir War, the war being named after the capital of Newkunir.

The Kunir War
Please see the Kunir War page.

Dé'I Débalo'Oa Dakoroto
After the loss of the war, Vanakunir began to divide up the USSE's territory. They took a large section of Vanargard and Achadia and gave it to Newkunir, and intended to leave the rest of the nation untouched as to not take any inhabited towns. They however than made a deal with Welpish in secret and sold the near entirety of the states of Croscograd and Kiurtrog to Anglunia. This was the most densely populated part of the nation and comprised of the four largest cities in the nation. The entire land was sold for merely 69,420 dollars.

The division and selling of the USSE's territory without keeping in mind the near fifty citizens of the nation became known as the Dé'I Débalo'Oa Dakoroto, or The Great Humiliation. Anglunia informed the USSE that the land would only be given back if they could pay a total of 800,000 dollars despite the fact that the USSE had never gone to war or agitated Anglunia, adding to the pain of the division. Over forty people in the towns of Garkogorod, Fort Morskoy, Port Crelov, and Crosotex, had to pack up their goods within twenty-four hours and were forced to move West towards the incredibly sparsely populated town of Nizkaya in the mostly untouched state of Ljordmir or out of the nation outright, there were less than five people opting to remain behind.

Proposition Seven
After the Kunir War, the government decided that major reforms were necessary and so Proposition Seven was put into effect after a landslide voting in favor of it. This put the nation on track to becoming a multi-party state, reinstated the usage of the National Assembly, formalized the legal code, reshaped the legislative process, and abolished the ministries with executive commissions. This stabilized the government and prevented mass emigration after the war.

Inauguration of Xeroise Ronango'O
The first two Presidents of the nation were not elected to their positions with President Ormnidus being appointed as he was the founder of the nation, and President Belgicus becoming President as a result of the line of succession. On July 13th, 2021, the first Presidential election happened when President Belgicus' term had ended. There were two candidates who chose to run for the election being Xeroise Ronango'O who ran on behalf of the Communist Party and had approval from both former Presidents and Diogo Tégontoga of the Tulipanist Socialist Party. Xeroise won overwhelmingly with just under 80% of the votes, an outcome likely supported by the fact Xeroise had a long history within the nation and had been very influential in the government beforehand.

The Anglunian Retrieval
After the Kunir War, Anglunia had annexed the states of Croscograd and Kiurtrog, but shortly after the inauguration of Xeroise Ronango'O the land was purchased back from Anglunia after an auction was held for the land.

Tsukanovia Secessionist Crisis
Soon after the mid-July election season, one member of the Tulipanist Socialist Party by the name of Egór Tsukanov had grown frustrated with the overwhelming support of the Communist Party. On July 24th, 2021, the player was given land ownership to the city of Crosotex, something intended to be temporary. He proceeded to change the name of the city to Tsukanovia and declared independence. Later that night after being threatened extensively by the government, he surrendered quickly. Later that day, a court case by the name of the State of Croscograd vs. Egór Tsukanov took place which resulted in Mr. Tsukanov being charged with High Treason and being given the penalty of a $5,000 fine and indefinite banishment from USSE territory.

Deautonomization of Achadia
On July 27th, the National Assembly met in regards to what to do about the Autonomous State of Achadia. The autonomous status of the state had been given in the corresponding Treaty of Achadia but after the Kunir War, the state had been left almost entirely unpopulated including the government officials living in Vostroya as they fled for the Wandenreich not wanting to live under Newkunir's shadow.

The former State Governor of Achadia denounced the Treaty of Achadia and with this the National Assembly held a vote to dissolve the Autonomous State of Achadia and form the State of Atoxa in its place, removing the autonomous status of the region and changing the name to not cause confusion with Wandenreich's city of Achadia. The vote was passed unanimously by all five members of the National Assembly.

Cession of South Vanargard
After the breakout of the Kunir War, massive international distrust of Vanakunir was present across Eldham. Seemingly in an attempt to repair their diplomatic relations with their neighbors, on August 1st, 2021, the leader of Vanakunir gave sections of land back to nations including the Grand Republic of Xeka and Galica. One of these cessions was of South Vanargard, one of the territories they had annexed during the Kunir War, which was given back to the United Socialist States of Eldham.

POPGOV Assembly & Mumo'Oa Ko Reforms
The Mumo'Oa Ko Reforms (meaning the Long Step Reforms in Lo'Oi), sometimes called the Proposition Ten Reforms, were created on August 4th and passed into law on August 5th. This intended to further stabilize the government, boost the economy, and fix upon the failures of the previous Proposition Seven reforms. The Proposition Seven Reforms had, amongst other things, turned the nation into a multi-party state which had polarized the political landscape of the nation and debatably caused the Tsukanovia Secession Crisis.

It was the economic setback and political disagreements that caused the government to call for the First Popular Government Assembly or POPGOV Assembly. This allowed for any and all citizens to criticize the government and propose new reforms and debate about the state of the nation before a consensus could be reached and proposed into law.

The proposition that came out of this was the Mumo'Oa Ko Reforms which established many things but most notably abolished the multiple political parties in the nation and returned the nation to being a one-party state led by the Communist Party of the USSE. It also formalized the military to be more convenient and based in the Minecraft meta instead of real world military strategies, set forth the precedent and encouragement of business endeavors, set up the foreign market district in the city of Kazkaya, set forth a goal of diplomatic relations with other nations, formation of the State Central Bank, and formalized a plan for the building of Kazkaya and the Trans-National Road System.

Cession of Kronstadt
Also on August 4th, Xeroise Ronango'O and the leaders of Vanakunir's Newkunir colony came to an agreement. In Newkunir's territory there was a massive squatter settlement by the name of Kronstadt (unrelated to the Viodoxan city of the same name) which was run by communists and had massive hammer and sickle statues and they decided that they did not want to deal with it and so they offered to give the land around it to the USSE. This was promptly accepted and most of Atoxa and North Vanargard which had been previously owned by Newkunir was now firmly back in the hands of the USSE returning the nation to nearly the same size as it had been prior to the Kunir War.

The Socialist-Garix Split
On August 6th, the former USSE governed land of the Confederation of Garxijos was brought into conflict as an armed terrorist group called the Garxijos United Liberation Front (or GULF) began a coup against the socialist government of the nation. This was immediately followed by public denouncement from the USSE, the rescinding of economic aid, and Garxijos being kicked from the Socialist International.

While Garxijos and the USSE prior to this had been close allies beforehand, the illegal coup severed ties and the USSE tore apart the alliance and military support that had been dictated as per the Treaty of Transarxa signed after the Second Coalition-Ellysian War. Additionally, while the USSE had offered to militaristically keep the socialist government in power, the support was declined by the socialist government.

Inauguration of Quintus Solokov
On August 23rd, 2021, a Presidential election took place after the end of Xeroise Ronango'O's first term. She had decided not to run again after her first term to take a break from politics and because she felt she had accomplished enough as she had successfully rejuvenated the entire nation after the Kunir War. Ultimately, two candidates decided to run for the role of President. These were Quintus Solokov and Jurij von Richthofen. Rogale would run alongside Richthofen as a Vice Presidential candidate and Red Solokov ran alongside Quintus Solokov as their Vice Presidential candidate.

The Solokovs ran upon a platform endorsing gradual expansionism, international proletarianism, centralization of the government, and economic development whilst Richthofen ran upon the platform of mass infrastructure development and economic incentivization with the endorsement of former Presidents Belgicus and Ronango'O.

The actual election would be the closest to ever happen in the history of the nation, Quintus Solokov would win by a mere singular vote and promptly was inaugurated as President of the United Socialist States of Eldham with his relative of Red Solokov as Vice President.

The Kolssonafell Merger
Over the course of a week up to August 28th of that year, the Federation of Notos have been offering provincial status for the nation. They claimed their reasons for doing so was as a result of Notos' population being confined to a small land area. Given the Jarldom's overall struggle with obtaining it's Independence, the Jarl and his population greatly considered the idea of becoming a State within a larger nation.

Right before the Jarldom was about to join the Federation of Notos, the Jarl of Kolssonafell received at letter from the current President of the USSE; Quintus Solokov, it being an offer of a defensive union between all nations in Serrona. The Jarl, previously knowing about a desire of the USSE to form a larger state with their neighboring nations, proposed that same idea, and compromised with the Jarldom's citizens on joining the USSE as an Autonomous State. At 4:48 AM on August 29th, 2021, the Jarldom of Kolssonafell joined the United Socialist States of Eldham as The Autonomous State of Kolssonafell.

The Solokovian Era
During the Presidency of Xeroise Ronango'O, the state of the nation has since been regarded retrospectively as the Golden Era for the quick and efficient restabilization and growth of the nation after the Kunir War which put it back on the map. With the Presidency of Quintus Solokov, the dynamic and powers of the government began to change quite drastically, ushering forth a new era typically named the Solokovian Era. The National Assembly was promptly, at least temporarily, abolished giving complete legislative powers to the President. This was intended to stabilize the nation and eliminate alleged espionage.

Additionally, Solokov planned heavily in regards to development. A transnational road system, sometimes called the Long Axis, was created connecting all the major cities of the entire nation, at its creation it was the longest and largest single road system on Eldham. On top of this, cities like Kazkaya, Manzig, and Vostroya were quickly expanded upon at his demand and with the efforts of the much more resilient populace. The nation in general reaped the benefits of its strong development and economic boom as the nation's population began to grow drastically.

A fundamental part of his Presidency was his international policies which greatly differed from that of past Presidents. He had been much more willing to be harsh on foreign nations that disrespected the USSE and was more in approval of territorial expansion. This could be seen in one of his first acts as President with the merger with Kolssonafell. His efforts to expand socialism abroad had also been seen to great effect across Serrona as he established the Larian Pact which provided communication and funding to communist parties across Eldham including those in Enbaira and Nova Azcoria. He also assisted and endorsed revolutions such as that in the Imperium of Pergamos from which the PRP was established.

Vostroyan Worker's Strike
Since August, the city of Vostroya had been repopulated and had expanded massively being home to a massive military citadel and large farms. These efforts however had gone without the assistance of the federal government, something that had greatly disappointed the populace of Vostroya as they were not receiving any aid or attention despite being such an objectively influential city in the nation. The city had yet to be connected to the major transnational road system, the ice boat road to Laria which connected the two cities had been destroyed after the Kunir War and never fixed, and Vostroya had little economic activity.

On September 18th, 2021, early in the morning, the workers of Vostroya went on strike and refused to give economic aid to the rest of the nation and all business and production practically ceased in the entirety of Atoxa. The government promptly sent out an assembly of workers to start connecting Vostroya to the economic hub in Kazkaya via a superspeed road system. While this would have likely taken most nations/people several days to conduct, the workers completed the connection to Vostroya in around 2~ hours. This greatly pleased the workers of Vostroya who promptly went off strike and harolded the efforts as "communist magnificence".

"Vostroya is a historic town for the U.S.S.E, abandoned after the Dé'l Débalo’Oa Dakoroto. Yet once again, it seems like the government is abandoning the people of the North in favor of the cities that they live in. Seldom do we see any officials in Vostroya, and never have we received material support. The entire town has been built by the labor of the people in Vostroya, despite the negligence of certain key officials to protect and support the workers. We believe in the communist party, and that with our collective power, the government will take heed of our demands. After all, are we not communists?" -Vostroyan Mayor at the time, Chelovek Iz Sereba

Neihrenspried Epidemic
Starting on October 1st, the Neihrenspried fungal disease was reported in the State of Atoxa and quickly expanded into Croscograd. This resulted in several attacks from those completely infected with Neihernspried was eventually the disease was quickly fought back as the USSE had amounted an immense scientific expenditure on preventing the spread of the disease. Several containment sites and world class fungicidal suits were made as a result of the epidemic and at least a few people died.

Inauguration of Chelovek Serebra
At the end of President Quintus Solokov's first term, they had decided that they would not run again. This opened room for a new person to run for President at the end of this term. Ultimately, two major candidates would run for the Presidency during this election season. The first was Gaboliver Urabon and his Vice President, Mandes98, who argued for an end to USSE isolationism and a dramatic change in government structure to become much more decentralized. On the other hand was Chelovek Serebra and their Vice President, Pogge Richthofen, who advocated for a continuation of the Xeroist-Solokovist ideology in the USSE and carrying forth the torch and precedent set by the prior two Presidents.

On October 4th, the Presidential election took place with around 62% of the vote going towards candidate Chelovek Serebra. This resulted in their prompt inauguration as President with a formal speech being given later in the week to the National Assembly in the People's Hall of Kazkaya.

The Bull's Eye War
On October 8th, one of the first major decisions of the Serebran Presidency, the USSE decided to assist the Triple Entente in the war effort against Skjoldrbrodir in what would become known in the nation as the Bull's Eye War and abroad as the Zamotz-Skjoldrbrodir War. Around a dozen USSE soldiers fought at the Battle of Hefnaheim where the war had been won. The USSE was also involved in the peace talks.

The Pergamosian and Navarnan Mergers
On October 11th, after a while of such talks, the nation of the People's Republic of Pergamos held an official referendum regarding their entry into the USSE as an Autonomous State for integrity and security. Over 80% of the Pergamian population agreed to the referendum and the National Assembly of the USSE had unanimous agreed for Pergamian integration into the nation. Three days after Pergamos joined the USSE, the People's Republic of Navarna, formerly known as the Kingdom of Navarna, also joined the USSE as an autonomous state.

Government Structure
The structure of the government is a single-party state currently led by the Communist Party of the USSE in its present form. The nation is led by an executive head of state and government, being the General Secretary in addition to the Deputy Secretary, whom are elected in a directly democratic nationwide election every six weeks. In order to prevent tyrannical actions from them, virtually all their actions can be vetoed by the National Assembly which consists of many citizens and politicians.

The National Assembly consists of representatives from cities around the USSE, with all cities getting a minimum of one representative in the form of their mayor. If a city has at least 10 or 25 citizens, then that city will gain an additional elected representative for each threshhold to compensate for the larger population. They decide on the legislative process, establish checks and balances for government officials, and declarations of wars and treaties, amongst other things. The Deputy Secretary acts as chairman for the National Assembly, and can break ties in votes if they occur.

The nation currently comprises of five integrated states, three autonomous states, and one protectorate. The integrated states consist of Croscograd, Kiurtrog, Ljordmir, Kolssonafell, and Atoxa. These states are full parts of the USSE and can be considered the nation's "core territory". The three autonomous states are Pergamos, Navarna, and Prubensia. Autonomous states are different than integrated states in that they have control over their own domestic policies, instead of being directly under the federal government. The one protectorate is Merconis. Protectorates are mostly independent countries that are under the influence and protection of the USSE.

There are a total of six Commissions each led by an individual Commissioner. These exist to situate out specific domestic needs of the nation on a national level. They are as follows: Commission of Security, Commission of Industry and Development, Commission of Culture, Commission of Foreign Affairs, Commission of Justice, and finally, the Commission of Information and Media.

Economy & Industry
The USSE generally speaking outright bans foreign businesses from conducting business operations within national territory without explicit permission and often times taxing from the government. Additionally, completely private businesses are outright abolished within the nations with all businesses being owned in some form by the state. On top of this all, all businesses are run and operated in a style of worker cooperative where each employee democratically leads the business instead of it being led by a singular individual.

The USSE is a major Eldhamite exporter of alcohol, regularly producing large amounts of beverages such as crimson wine, knight's love, and vodka. Much of this is often done through the large Blue Swine Wine company founded by USSE citizen Mr_BluePig. Additionally, the USSE has other businesses such as the Worker's Cooperative which assists in both domestic and foreign building projects whether that be outright building for other nations, collecting supplies, or working on national projects. The nation has also been a major agricultural producer producing virtually all crops imaginable on Eldham including corn, beetroot, potatoes, carrots, and more.

Political Parties
The nation having multiple political parties was abolished on August 5th, 2021, with the Mumo'Oa Ko Reforms but prior to that after the passing of the Proposition Seven Reforms, the nation had three political parties. The Communist Party maintained control of both the National Assembly with three seats and both the Presidency and Vice Presidency at this time and as a result they had control of the entire government. After the Mumo'Oa Ko Reforms the country was returned back to being a one party state led by the Communist Party. While the nation had multiple political parties though there were two other political parties which saw intermediate electoral success including the Tulipanist Socialist Party and the Worker's Green Front.



Literature
The USSE's Commission of Culture operates tasks relating to the cultural development and progression of the people in the nation, and this includes the publishing of books. Educational texts like the Sentient Species Manual of Eldham have been published which categorize and evaluate the different species and ethnic groups of sentient creatures on Eldham. A series of historical scripts have also been published. Most of these were written by Xeroise Ronango'O.

Media
The USSE's Commission of Information and Media operates a series of programs relating to public information and media outlets. They operate a newspaper called the Red Star which covers both national and international events. There is also the Lyudi Radio based out of Kazkaya.

National Anthem
You can listen to the national anthem of the USSE here, subtitles included with the video for the spoken lyrics.

English Lyrics:

We are the builder of the coming world, We are the seeds, the field, and till, We are the reapers to the lives unfurled, For our people are the future's pure will! So fly in the wind, our crimson banner, Advance upon the paths in which we draw! We are the future, the faithful fighters, We are the workers of Eldham! Lords of factories, emperors of the world, Start measuring your power by the gram! We are the armies, the banners that twirl, We are the workers of Eldham! So fly in the wind, our crimson banner, Illuminate the lives which we damn! We are the future, the faithful fighters, We are the workers of Eldham!

Military
The main military junction of the nation is the People's Army of the USSE which is run and operated by the Commission of Security. They also operate military bases in Kazkaya, Laria, and Vostroya.

Geography
The eastern part of the nation, around the areas of Croscograd and Atoxa, is host to large tundras and taigas, often regarded as the largest contiguous snowswept area in Eldham. There are also several mountains in this area, concentrated particularly in northern Atoxa with the Northern Range. Traveling slightly north or west of this, you'll begin to see less snow as the temperature increases, leading to many magnificent pine forests. In the western part of the country, particularly in the state of Kolssonafell, you'll find more plains and oak forests. The warmest part of the country is Pergamos in the northwest. About half of the state is either savanna or desert, leading to it having a very distinct look compared to other parts of the USSE. The only major part of the nation that is not on the physical continent is the state of Kiurtrog, which consists of various islands in the Sea of Lélo'É. In the Eastern part of the nation's continental crust, there is a large series of rivers that tend to run North to South and flow out into the previously mentioned sea. This connects maritime trade deeper into the center of Croscograd and Atoxa.

Vexillology
The nation's flag is split evenly with cyan on the top and red on the bottom. The red is meant to represent blood spilled against tyranny and imperialism, being adopted in lore during the Serrotoix Civil War. The cyan color represents tranquility, meant to contrast the red. It is also meant to vaguely resemble the sky still existing as it always has, even over a sea of blood spilled in opposition of oppression. The star is meant to represent the prosperity of the nation and it's people long into the future.
