Zamotz Confederation

"Glory to Zamotz!" The Zamotz Confederation is a Nation located on the isle of Zamotz. It was formed by the Reunification of the nations of Kolnor, Nova Varomia, Elatsania and Shirokaneza, and is publicly considered a successor-state 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: 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 Confederation
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 Confederation". After mutual agreement from most parties involved the new nation would be named "The Zamotz Confederation". The Confederation didn't want to stray too far from their predecessors but also wanted to be distinct and different to their past so changing from a union to a confederacy would do that perfectly.A flag design couldn't be decided upon so the Confederation 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 Confederation led to many Zarissian provinces which used to be unified under the Zamotz Union considering leaving and joining the Confederacy. The nation of Nova Bibshmibbia split its provinces, Kolnor and Nova Varomia so that the province borders and system could be more simple and easy to run however at the time still were governed by the same province government due to not having enough time to organise two separate province governments. Kolnor and Nova Varomia kept their respective territories. With the four founding provinces now mainly set up they could now focus on perfecting the constitution which would determine how the newly formed Confederation would operate on a day to day basis. A system similar to the previous Zamotz Union was suggested but after a discussion on how that would function inside the confederation it was decided that a new system would need to be drafted up. The system would take inspiration from the Nova Bibshmibbian government and use similar methods of running specific departments. Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb drafted up the "Treaty of the Shmiggies" which would have a basic description on how the government would operate: However there was some discussion on the number of councillors as Kadia Yelxidor believed one per province to be to little. The discussion on how the government would operate would continue on and a conclusion couldn't be met.
 * The three nations unite into one formal entity, known as the Zamotz Confederation, and retain the right to leave the Confederation as they wish.
 * The Confederation will consist of four provinces, Nova Varomia, Kolnor, Shirokaneza and Elatsania, which will all have representative Councillors, being chosen by each province in any way they see fit (Monarchy, permanent position, oligarchy, democratically elected, etc.). These Councillors will vote on passing bills/laws and will be the highest ranking position in the Confederation.
 * A Prime Minister will be elected every 15 years and this Prime Minister will appoint each of the Ministers to each of their respective ministries
 * The Ministers will be the head of their Ministries, and appointed by the Prime Minister. These Ministers will include:

Independence From Uraka
In 08/06/2023, The nation declared independence against the Uraki leadership (Previously being a vassal of Scartha, which joined the Imperium). The Second Uraki Imperium was rapidly declining over the course of a week, after a declaration of war from CATO. After the Imperator abdicated and took his Domain with him, many of the remaining provinces outside Osria, Drakkenheim and parts of Rodinnbrok declared independence. Among these was Zamotz, wishing to avoid a war with CATO.

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. Their merge with Nova Bibshmibbia would later lead to the formation of the Zamotz Confederation.

Nova Varomia
Nova Varomia (Bibshmibbian: Nova Varomja) is a Province and Town in the Confederation. Located in the Northern part of the Country in the Subcontinent of Maddrak.

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.
