Zamotz Confederation

The Zamotz Confederacy was a nation created to ensure the safety of the isle of Zamotz. It was formed by the four founding provinces Kolnor, Bibshmibbia, Elatsania and Shirokaneza and is publicly considered a successor to the previously dissolved Zamotz Union.

Formation of the Zamotz Defence Union
Near the beginning of summer, 145 SMP Balake declared Shirokaneza independent from the Federal Union of Zarrissia. In his declaration he stated, "I'll keep this short and sweet, since there isn't much to sugar-coat. Over the past couple of days, discussions internally have been going on regarding whether or not Zarissia will continue to exist as a single entity. Seeing this, and already questioning whether or not the Roju council wanted Shirokaneza to remain in the nation, we have came to the collective decision to leave the Zarissia. We appreciate the government of Zarissia's hospitality for the past month or so, and hope to maintain positive relations with the nation, alongside all of our other neighbours in Onthukhan." This declaration would set in motion the events which led directly to Nova Bibshmibbia forming the Zamotz Defence Union in the near future.

As summer of 145 SMP was coming to a close King Councillor Okomi Hokan of Elatsania would also declare Elastania independent from the Federal Union of Zarrissia. In his declaration he stated, ''"Greetings, fellow Eldhamites. The peoples of Elatsania have jointly agreed that our time in the Zarissian Union must come to an end. With us being skeptical of the integration of the Zamotz Union into the Aristios-Portavel government from the beginning, genuine attempts were made to make the Zarissian Union one that would function. However, instead of being greeted by equals that would work to ensure the equality and functionality of the Union, we were met by a regime that subtly kept itself as our superiors, maintaining their governmental majority through a clumsy system of bureaucracy that made it harder for Zamotians to exercise the right to vote and self-expression, whilst limiting the seats of Zamotians in the Senate. Out of protest, Elatsanians did not fill the Zarissian census, and we were met with a removal of all Senate seats. At the time, I was still sure that the Union could somehow be preserved. However, it quickly became evident that this could not hold true, as the Zarissian government moved closer to integration of the Zamotz Union far before trying to settle any issues. By the time their half-hearted attempts at preservation began, it was far too little, too late. I could not ignore the calls from my peoples, my friends, and the rest of the Elatsanian leadership - the time to secede had come. As such, for the first time we've been independent in decades the Elatsanian State unilaterally declares independence from the Zarissian Union with all of the lands held by the Province of Elatsania prior to the dissolution of the Zamotz Union. Though we regard our colleagues in Aristios and Portavel as friends, we no longer wish to fly the same flag."''

After seeing both of these declarations, Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb of Nova Bibshmibbia would set a plan in motion to unite the three nations of Zamotz to ensure the safety and security of the isle. Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb proposed the idea of the Zamotz Defence Union to both Blake and King Councillor Okomi Hokan and after negotiations it was clear that both Elatsania and Shirokaneza were both in favour of joining. The document was drafted and after several changes it was signed by:


 * King Councillor Okomi Hokan of Elatsania


 * Dredd Kijimuta of Fort Velithangka


 * General Primeminister Kadia Yelxidor of Nova Bibshmibbia


 * Smakhhpyn Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb of Nova Bibshmibbia


 * Kolnor Consul Roshi Dcrazydude of Nova Bibshmibbia


 * Nova Varomia Consul Ashren of Nova Bibshmibbia


 * Shirokanezan Shogun Balake Olea

With the document complete Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb would declare it official in an announcement to Eldham where he stated, "In light of recent events on the Island of Zamotz, Nova Bibshmibbia and the newly independent Shirokaneza and Elatsania have came together to sign a mutual defensive alliance named the Zamotz Defense Union. Not only is this treaty a mutual defence pact, but it also achieves for further cooperation between the Zamotian nations and strives for a more united Zamotz." This announcement would finalise the creation of the Zamotz Defence Union.

Founding of the Zamotz Confederacy
After the Zamotz Defence Union's creation talks about reforming the Zamotz Union spread throughout the three nations of Elatsania, Shirokaneza and Nova Bibshmibbia. The three nations came together to discuss if this possibility was something that was in demand to explore. Once all nations had confirmed that they wanted to unite under one flag again like it was during their time inside the Zamotz Union discussions on what the official name and flag would be of this Zamotz Union successor state.

Many discussions occurred about how this unified government would operate, the name of this new nation and the flag which would represent it. Many names such as, "The Reformed Union Of Zamotz", "United Provinces Of Zamotz" and many more were suggested but the one that stood out and was chosen over the others was "The Confederacy". After mutual agreement from most parties involved the new nation would be named "The Zamotz Confederacy".A flag design couldn't be decided upon so the Confederacy decided to use one of Kadia Yelxidor's as a place holder. The placeholder design had four colours representing one of the founding provinces with the Zamotz isle in the centre. With the nation's identity almost complete the nation decided to publicly announce its formation to the people of Eldham. This formation of the Confederacy led to many Zarissian provinces which used to be unified under the Zamotz Union considering leaving and joining the Confederacy.

Elatsania
The state of Elatsania (Traveler's Tongue: Riverside), simply known as Elatsania, is an oligarch state on the Eldham Isle of Zamotz. Founded by Indusian natives on the Isle, the state considered itself independent from the colonizing country of Neubaykonia since the city of Indusia's founding in Autumn of 72 SMP, but did not receive international recognition until an agreement with Neubaykonia was brokered in Summer of 73 SMP. It would later join Zarissia during the Zamotz Union's merge with Aristios and would leave Zarissia to join the Zamotz Defence Union in Late Autumn of 145 SMP.

Kolnor
Kolnor was mix of two founding provinces of the Zamotz Unio n but after the Zamotz Union merged with the nation of Aristios to form the Federal Union Of Zarissa, Kolnor became independent. After their emancipation from the Federal Union Of Zarissa, Kolnor joined the nation of Nova Bibshmibbia and became its largest province. The merging of Kolnor into Nova Bibshmibbia had a massive land increase for the small nation. Overall Nova Bibshmibbia 's territory had a 300% increase. The merging of Kolnor started a new age for Nova Bibshmibbian politics, as the nation had to evolve to accommodate for the new political landscape. There merge with Nova Bibshmibbia would later lead to the formation of the Zamotz Confederacy.

Nova Bibshmibbia
Nova Bibshmibbia (Bibshmibbian: Nova Bebshmybja) is a nation located in Onthukhan, more specifically in southern Portavel and north of Zamotz island. Nova Bibshmibbia was founded in late Winter of 122 SMP, after Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb bought the land from the Portavel, a province of the Zamotz Union at the time, and is considered a successor state to the fallen nation of Bibshmibbia. The name Nova Bibshmibbia, comes from the language of Bibshmibbian. The name is formed from the word "Nova", Bibshmibbian for New, and "Bibshmibbia", Bibshmibbian for "Land of the Shmiggies". Nova Bibshmibbia in traveller's tongue translates roughly to "New Shmiggies' Land". Nova Bibshmibbia would go on to form the Zamotz Defence Union to unite the nations of Zamotz.

Shirokaneza
The city and nation of Shirokaneza, founded in the Autumn of 72 SMP, is a settlement located on the Eldham isles of Zamotz. Noted for its military prowess, Shirokaneza played a significant role in several conflicts on both Eldham & Rathnir, assisting the Zamotz Union during its rise to power in the process. It would later join Zarissia during the Zamotz Union's merge with Aristios and would leave Zarissia to join the Zamotz Defence Union in Late Autumn of 145 SMP.
