Sotrania



= People's Republic of Sotrania = The People's Republic of Sotrania, or better known as simply Sotrania was a parliamentary republic located in the continent of Onthukhan, Eldham.

The origin of the Sotranian people
Sotrania as we know it originates from the Orueh people who mixed with the Saitaman people of Sakura. The Sakuran Groups were an ethnic minority inside the nation of Iremith. They were natives to a few small islands that were annexed by Iremith a long, long time ago.

Their islands we're rich in resaurces, specifically emeralds which they used to create durable weaponry. They we're also known for their abilities to navigate in the sea and their mines which followed the Saitaman design. They we're organised by a general nicknamed Tom, who became an unofficial ruler of the secret rebellion that was at the time gathering supplies for the war, walling of the capital island called Hokaido and crafting weapons out of emeralds and diamonds for the rebellion.

The king of Iremith known as Kartof of house Oakheart (AdmiralKartofel) called Tom for a dinner at the palace. Tom was accompanied by his guards and the Admiral by his. As they drank and spoke, Admiral said loudly: "Tom, my friend, do you swear eternal loyalty to your nation and me as your king?" "I do" replied Tom "Then why do you conspire against me and your nation?" Announced the king. "Execute them."

Suddenly fighting broke out. The king and many of the people involved in the fighting we're injured. A few Sakuran Soldiers camped outside the castle and fought off the reinforcements of Iremith. The Sakurans inside the castle retreated, running towards the ocean. There they escaped via boats towards Hokaido.

The naval intelligence of the Sakurans really showed there as they managed to make it to the capital almost one day before Admiral Kartof. During their escape they started shooting arrows towards the navy of Iremith slowing them down and eventually losing them.

When they arrived at Hokaido they resupplied at the fort they inside a hill where their mines were also located. However Iremiths forces arrived before the army could gather at the walls, forcing the garrison troops to retreat inside the fort. Many attempts were made to breach the walls of the fort but they we're met with great resistance. Then lighting struck at the fort dealing damage to the Sakurans. This was seen as a bad omen making the Sakurans retreat by digging to the other side of the fort and then once again the sea.

After they retreated they were scattered all around. Here are the recorder migrations of the Sakurans

Saitaman: The Saitamans are the group that migrated to Eldham, mixing with the Orueh population of Sotrania. Legend has it that the name Sotrania originates from the commontongue adaptation of the Orueh word "Sotrenshja" meaning land of Sotren (a famous Orueh king that first united the Orueh city states) The Saitamans took the ruins of the Sotrenshja kingdom and built on its lands. They brought their culture and architecture with them at their new capital. They called the island (now known as Oriataun) Okinawa or sometimes Okina and built their Saitaman styled houses there. The most ancient Saitaman design is the mine of Oriataun as it looks exactly like the mine at Hokaido. The migration happened in waves. The first wave lived as a minority inside the Orueh kingdoms. This wave wanted a democracy so that they could appoint their own leader. However they were most likely forced to leave by Oceanum or executed with some of the Orueh people. The second wave introduced the monarchy. This wave was more organised with many of the Sakuran leaders descendants being a part of it. They were the ones who first conquered Okinawa and tried to expand into the surrounding area. They were forced to submit to the Forge but unofficially acted on their own and gained independence after the Forge's collapse. (It is important to note that the Saitamans shortly stayed in a settlement they created at Serafini which they named Osaka before migrating to Eldham.)

Alvar: This Group of the Sakuran people sailed to Serafini, then split into two. One of the Alvar groups was erased due to being intermixed with the natives and assimilated. The other one took control of an abandoned city on the mountains once called Chimu. This city was called Alvarium by the Escharian historians that visited it however it was called Alvar by the Sakurans. Alvar quickly became prosperous with the old building being replaced, new more beautiful walls being constructed, new farms being created and most notably new gardens being made all around with all kinds of flowers and animals roaming the place. The Chimean civilization was greatly admired and respected by the Alvar Sakurans. They preserved the old totems, building a museum to store them. When they learned that the island nation became independent many migrated towards Saitaman Sotrania leaving the city undefended. Many conquerors took this land over. As i am writing this the land has been renamed to Blizzard and many of the Alvar culture there has been lost.

Nostra Terrans: This group fled to Aezenfjord. It is less recorded as it was quickly assimilated by the natives.

Caminus Monsrod: Another of the groups that fled to Serafini, they quickly were forced to flee out and scatter to the many cities of Rathnir.

Start
The modern Sotrania began at the Realm of Fire rebellion. when dukasv settled in Oceanum, then controlled by Rage o' Fire. Soon after, the land would be annexed by The Forge. Dukasv would further lobby for independence of the Saitama Khanate, which would finally be granted when the Scions decided they wanted to be done with his antics.

The Great Revival
The revival period began when PM Bogo was put in charge. Most of his acts are lost to history. However we know that some notable changes happened back then. Most notably he was the one who signed Saitama as a protectorate of Kaladinia. This, at the time, was one of the interests of the then weak Sotrania. We also know that the population started growing back then, something that would continue for the rest of Sotrania.

After he resigned dukasv, the founder of the Saitaman Nation was placed in charge as the first monarch (Khan). He married twice. Both of his wives were exiled due to their inability to produce a healthy offspring. He also caused a population boom to the small nation.

First Political war
The elections were heated, the NAS and CDP were in a huge battle against each other. The NAS had nothing to show for their work, the election was humiliating at a massive defeat of 8 to 1 (The only vote the NAS had was a vote from Ulfric himself). This was the main event to trigger the chain of wars that is about to happen in the following months. The CDP ruled for 2 days until the population crisis started. The school period in most countries have begun and a lot of players had to leave, leading to a massive drop in population. At the height of the crisis Sotrania almost collapsed. After the crisis Sotrania experienced a massive boom in population, it had grown it's economy and began more diplomacy with other nations.

Breaking Point
On the 30th of September 2021 Prime minister mishatmesh_badui resigned because of personal matters. Ulfric immediately demanded new elections, his claim was that Soviet_Pheonix (Now Prime Minister) was not chosen by the people. his demand was rejected. Badui at this time started hearing voices, he called the voices "them" after a while he went back to normal and when asked about "them" he has no clue about any voices. when elections came the Crown Party was created by DarthPavel. At the elections the CP and NAS announced a coalition against the CDP, after the CDP protested the coalition was disbanded. When the elections were over the CDP had 8 votes NAS had 7 and CP had 3, the CP did an act which was against the law and illegally funneled votes to the NAS, thus the elections were cancelled and the CDP was placed on top. Dukasv feared Ulfric will revolt if the CDP will stay in power so he exiled Badui and Soviet from the nation. the NAS and CP were placed in charge of the government and Badui revealed he had made a deal with Oceanum and he has a home. A short while after that TheChristmasDuck was banished for "Traitorous acts for the CDP", this was when they new government started showing their true colors. After a while Badui felt threatened in Oceanum and got citizenship in The Iron Freeholds. After some time had passed Soviet and Duck were forgiven but Badui was still exiled as the monarchy saw him as a trouble maker, at this time the CP and NAS started arguing which led to them splitting apart. Anti CDP propaganda was not uncommon at all in these times which led to most new players picking the side of the monarchists. Badui was defeated mentally, all his hard work went down the drain, Badui started planning a coup, to plan it better he needed to return. Badui was lucky as right at this time the Monarchists wanted him back, he was heavily restricted but ultimately free to speak his mind. At this time the Sortanian government bought Kythnos from Oceanum.

Second Political War
The planning of Badui's coup was cut short after he and Ulfric did an experiment in Sotrania. Badui knew a part of the government was homophobic so he decided to go in disguise and see if the government will restrict him. His suspicions turned out true as his disguise was banished by the CP and the backlash resulted in the banishing of ciocanul17 (A member of the CP) after he admitted to being racist. almost all of the CP were against the disguised Badui staying which led to the CP becoming very unpopular. The CP saw this as a valid reason to form an emergency government which was seen by Badui and Ulfric and more as a dictatorship. soon Badui and Ulfric joined forces to make the National Democractic Party (later changed to Central Alliance Party after they found out what the NDP is doing in Germany), a union between the CDP and NAS. Badui joined Ulfric in Kythnos where Ulfric started gathering forces for a revolution. Soon Soviet joined them and they had a solid plan and were ready to fight. Just a day before the fighting was supposed to happen SrVain, a part of the revolution forces wanted to turn in their plans to the monarchists for 2 stacks of diamond. Vain was banned from the revolution but denied he ever tried to sell the plans and said he was just trying to steal their diamonds for the revolution. When the war came Badui managed to convince the Shogun and Khan to surrender with a deal that the monarchy will stay but be very weak. When the war started Badui entered the city alone, the Sotranian army was unready and unequipped so they had no protection. Badui found Pavel unarmed and brought him to Kythnos where he locked him in the rat church. The war ultimately ended when the princess of Sotrania (Booper) surrendered and the NDP (now CAP) secured hold of Sotrania.

End of the Second Political War and the start of the Third Political War.
the end of the second political was has brought an end to the divide inside Sotrania. Though grudges still exist the country is mostly peacful. Well that is what everyone thought before former dictator traurigcamper decided to set sail to Aquatos. Sotrania stayed mostly peacful until traurig revealed his plan for a revolution which caused great tension and fear of spies in a period known as the "War of the Sussy Spies". Then started the involvment of other nations in the revolution. Helos was first on the side of the revolutionists but then switched to the side of the now rulling party CAP. Tensions exploded when a secret deal between Aquatos and the revolutionaries was uncovered that sold weapons to the revolutionaries which were later used to kill civillians. Aquatos asured they will stop their involvment with the war and send troops.

The war and the end of the Republic of Sotrania
when the revolution of traurig arrived the forces in Sotrania already knew with the help of Helos that Aquatos was on the side of the rebels. The Sotranian and Helosian soldiers fought bravley but failed due to technical reasons (the queue was so damn long so badui bought a fast pass and the fast pass didn't work and badui was late to the war). Sotrania then used it's alliance with Oceanum and became an autonomous province of Oceanum.

The period under Oceanumite/Othmyrran rule
Following the integration of Sotrania into Oceanum, the country had mostly been reduced to ruble. After the war, many people died and most of the rest chose to leave the now province, with many going to Solandia or Nova Azcoria. With the former great nation ruined Twovo took over and now Badui, which has been brought back to life by dough the Kuala tried to get reelected.

Revolution
Right after his reincarnation Badui started a revolutionary movement with a single goal: Bring Sotrania back. They operated in secret and started diplomatic talks with multiple nations to hopefully get their independence, the most important ones being Zamotz union and the U.S.S.E The revolution also brought to the attention of Zamotz that Othmyrr has passed a decree which says they will recognize and support every state that succeeds from Zamotz which was one of the reasons they declared war.

THE WAR
As luck would have it, the nations the revolution was in touch with both declared war against Othmyrr! The Revolutionaries saw a huge opportunity and immediately declared its full independence from Othmyrr ,along with the rest of Othmyrrs provinces, and later becoming a protectorate of the U.S.S.E to gain protection.

Today
The nation has regained its independence as the People's Republic of Sotrania, a socialist democratic state which was set up by the revolutionaries.
