Confederation of Akarechi

The Confederation of Akarechi is a Member State of WSNV, located in the northeasternmost part of Eldham. It replaced the Republic of Yujava as part of a reformation after it gained independence from Drackar.

Background
The land that now comprises Akarechi was first settled by the Ellysian Empire after the end of the First Coalition-Ellysian War with the creation of towns then known as Nordinbad, Taernsby, and Damaranth. The extensive imperialism of the Ellysians eventually resulted in the formation of the Second Coalition (now known as the Anti-Radical Syndicate) which demolished the Ellysian Empire during the Second Coalition-Ellysian War.

After the Empire's dissolution, the territory of the land was divided into five administrative zone with the CoAC comprising of a section of land that was a part of Zone Three as governed by the United Socialist States of Eldham.

The province of Yujava was formed after the dissolution of CoAC, as an semi-independent province of Yunria, in the wake of the Uraki Imperium's invasion of the northeast. After Yunria merged with the Third Ellysian Empire, Yujava would rebel against the government. Soon after, it would join the Kingdom of Drackar, who possessed the strongest military in Eldham.

During the protection of Yujava by Drackar, many said they wanted to reunite with their socialist brothers in then Aspélla. After the Independence Referendum, it joined Asperia and together formed the Asperian Interregnum, which was later renamed to Workers' Syndicate of North Valresh.

Diplomacy
Thanks to the groundwork laid by CoAC, Akarechi has enjoyed relative peace, having managed to avoid heavy involvement in any significant conflicts. It is a more isolationist nation, keeping close relations with their neighbors and allies, and rarely engaging in diplomacy with anyone else. In spite of its isolationist behavior, Akarechi has been apart of many alliances. It was a member of several regional groups: the Northern Summit and its successor, the North Eldham Organization, as well as the Ruby Syndicate. Alongside this, they were a part of the Socialist Internationale, an organization of socialist-aligned nations on both Rathnir and Eldham.

Although their diplomats' flawlessness in their profession, their diplomatic apparatus took a heavy hit during the negotiations with Aureus, which were swift to take advantage of CoAC's governing system and capture its then capital, Salisbury. It was unable to recover since then, especially due to Drackar's handling of foreign affairs.

Governance
Akarechi is a semi-presidential republic, the president being in charge of diplomacy, but delegating this power to the diplomatic body. It's provincial council is in charge of allocating resources and capital to projects. It is split into 5 Bureaus (sometimes called committees). The President, along with the Council are elected for 2 months, unless a state of emergency is declared, when the Governance remains the same until the issue is resolved or marshal law is declared, in which case the Commander in Chief becomes the head of the state.

Savalay
It is the biggest city of the Confederation and served as its capital until the introduction of the new capital Qasr. In the founder's designs it was supposed to be a city in the trees, which can be deduced from the size of the tree in the center, popularly called "The tree of life". It quickly transitioned to a walled city, with wooden fortifications. Savalay was quick to industrialize, thus becoming the heartland of the nation and becoming the capital of Yujava.

Qasr
Also called the "City of sand" or "The Great Mines", it is the new administrative capital of Akarechi. The first settlers called it قصر (Qasr) which translates to castle or fort, due to its role as a walled military base, with little to none functional houses for citizens. Since those days though, the walls fell and now the only part that is still visible is the Porte d'eau.

Culture
Thanks to it's predecessor which welcomed every culture, religion and race, Yujava is a ceulturally diverse nation. There are 4 main cultures which can be observed.

Lo'Oix culture
There is a small Lo'Oix impact to the region. This is as a result of the United Socialist States of Eldham governing the area that the state was under for around a week and changing the names of multiples cities to ones based in the Lo'Oi language and encouraging adaptation of Oxintoism in the whole region that comprised of the Third Administrative Zone, deeper investigation, and given the freedoms that exist in this territory, ancient cultures prior to even the Ellysian Empire have shown their resurgence, such is the case of the Krudizian Culture and many more

Yamatoan culture
Brought here by the inhabitants of Yamato and is mainly expressed in building styles. It is manily seen in the central parts of Savalay. It focuses on wood houses with great thermal isolation, and no industrial buildings.

Ellisyan culture
Parts of Ellysian culture can still be seen in the town of Nova. Ellysian buildings are usually fort or castle-like, big and in points where they would be easier to defend than attack.

Cog culture
After its rapid industrialization, CoG started helping CoAC on the path to modern manufacturing industry, which can be observed on the banks of the river that once bordered Savalay, and now serves as a main waterway for small boats to and from Aedexgate.

Geography
The land which comprises Akarechi has vast deserts, mesas, forests and mountains. They are also connected to two seas which are in turn connected by interwoven rivers. They control the towns of Savalay, Qasr, Nova, Aedexgate, Klitvandre, Fort and L'éclair.

Vexillology
The flag of Yujava has a yellow-red-yellow triband field with a green chevron and a red, star-shaped, charge.

The banner is similar, but rotated 90° so that the chevron is at the top. It utilizes the same symbolism with a chevron and star.
