The Territoriesterritories that are now Durakia waswere relatively sparsely populated until the formation of Durakia, with Dwarven settlementsstates being few and far between. Theories have been made of a expansive Dwarven Civilization that used to inhabit Durakia and Irnac due to recent archaeological finds being publicly released which is suspected to be evidence of large Dwarven settlements acrossdotting the island. The most likely theory is that there was a large Dwarven stateislands, however its population decreased rapidly from someoften greatin tragedyconflict. The islands were generally left alone by the empires of the world, with it not being seen as strategically valuable enough to set up a colony there, with only minor[[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] explorationmissionaries oftaking any semi-permeant settlement on the areaislands. DurakiaWhat is now referred to as the Island of Durakia was settled by the Asendavian Miner's and Labourers's Front during the Great War, after a retreat following the Battle of Tungrad. The AMLF founded the settlements of Wesnov and Arnstal, eventually declaring themselves as the Miner's Republic of Durakia under Arith Linski.
 
== History of Durakia ==
'''Native Period of Durakia (?-1916)'''
 
Little is known of the Dwarven settlements of Durakia, though archaeological finds date themthe toearliest being at least 10,000 years ago. Thesepermanent settlements were mainly small villages builtto around fertile rivers which were isolated from each other by the time of expeditions in the750 1600sAD. ThesesThese settlements still remain or Irnac todayDwarves,with manyknown believing thatas the theorisedPivnich Dwarfspread Nation in Durakia fled to Irnac. The Irnac Dwarves signedacross the Trwatyislands of Irnac with AsendaviaDurakia and NorgsveldetIrnac. in the e late 1500s, with a tribute being paid(referred to notas setErnok up colonies inby the islands.Dwarves) This treaty would go on to be held until the 1920s.
 
Theses settlements still remain or Irnac today, remnants of the conquered Pivnich States. The Feudal Dwarvern regions of Irnac often made agreements to pay tribute to Empires such as [[Asendavia]] or [[Norgsveldet]] for protection.
'''AMLF and the Wesov Landings (1913-1916)'''
 
'''AMLF and the WesovWesnov Landings (1913-1916)'''
[[The Great War]] had put a lot of strain on the Working Class Population of [[Asendavia]]. To fight for better working conditions and social reform, Arith Linski formed the Asendavian Miner's and Labourers's Front. The AMF spread quickly with the unhappy working class, soon getting the attention of the nations fighting against [[Asendavia]]. Funding from [[Norgsveldet]] was essential in the arming and organising of the AMLF. Whilst small strikes and uprisibgs happened across [[Asendavia]], the main conflict was the Battle of Tungrad, which saw the AMLF briefly attempting to take the city. This did not last as Asendavian Forces moved into the City, forcing the AMLF to flee by sea, going east towards Norvaris. They landed at the site of Wesnov, officialy declaring thenselves the Miner's Republic of Durakia with Tarov Hesse as Leader of the Union Council and Linski as Head of Government.

'''Durakia and the Great War (1916-1917)'''
 
After the Wesnov Landings, the newly declared Durakia was forced into mainly focusinffocusing on internal affairs. However, Durakan volunteer groups provided assistence in weapon manufracture and had breiflybriefly fought on all fromtsfronts until the end of the war. The most effective meqns of which Durakia helped was with AMLF agents working their way into convoys and redirecting the supplies to Durakia and its allies.
 
On the 10th July 1917, the Arnstal Agreement was signed between [[Asendavia]] and Durakia, which saw Durakia internationally recognised as an Independant state and saw Durakia exit [[The Great War]].

'''Martov Era (1917-1934)'''
 
By the end of the [[The Great War]], Sariv Martov had gained full power over the Durakan Revolutionary Council, solidified by the Death of Linski in December 1918.He was voted in as the second Head of the Durakan Government, thoigh there is some evidence of electoral fraud, with Martov winning 90% of the vote. He then passed the Civil Defense Act in May 1919 after the murder of Hesse, which is commonly believed to have been orchastrated by Martov.This act allowed Martov to appoint Union Council members as he saw fit and ended elections in Durakia. He appointed [[Martovism|Martovist]] Politician Talin Himler as a puppet leader for the Union Council.
 
Martov's Dictatorship was Totalitarian in nature, and perscuted anyone who was deemed a traitor to Durakia. These included known followers of [[Ademarism]] and other religions, those previoislypreviously of upper class - regardless of political views - and anyone deemed to be showing Asendavian culture or anti-communist beliefs. Those who were caught doing this were executed or put into forced Labour to construct cities like Urnst and Lynal. These acrions, while rapidly urbanising the nation, brought along Anti-Authoritarian Groups suchknown as Sviete od Smer (''English: Liberty or Death'') and Republika Za De Mench. (''English: Republic for the People'') These groups gained a lot of popularty in the early 1930s after Conscription was introduced to fight the Durakan-DwarvenArbeistok WarsSystem.
 
These ations, while rapidly urbanising the nation, brought along Anti-Authoritarian Groups such as Sviet od Smer (''English: Liberty or Death'') and Republika Za De Mench. (''Codexian: Republic for the People'') These groups gained a lot of popularty in the early 1930s after Conscription was introduced to fight the Durakan-Dwarven Wars.
The Durakan-Dwarvern Wars were fought from 1924-1933, where the Conscripted Durakan Army fought the Dwarvern Settlements for their lands. The First War (1924-1926) saw a resounding success for the Durakan Army, who usedmodern arms purchased from [[Great Morstaybishlia]] easily defeated the Dwarvern Settlements on Durakia and the Toria Islands.This also saw heavy investment in the Hailyk Military Fortress, seeing the Hailyk University of Warfare producing some of the best Military Commanders in Novaris, such as Symak Haya, who was awarded the Defender of the Proletaroat Medal at only 23 for his skill in the Battle of Ostrom. The Second War (1928-1929) saw the capture of the Cernov Islands.The third Durakan-Dwarvern War (1931-1933) was not as successful as the first two, with the tired and demoralised Durakan Army failing to conquer Irnac Island, with the seizure of the Northwest Territories only being successful after the unlikely victory of the Battle of Ostrum.

The Conquered Territories were organised into Martovist Puppet States, drawn on vague ethnic lines. These states of Vakarastan, Eteristan and Grestanallowed Dwarven Cultue ro somewhat remain on Irnac, but were plagued with instability and resistance.
 
'''Durakan Civil War and Economic Collapse (1934-1937)'''
 
The Third Durakian Dwarvern War hit the Durakan economy hard as well as bringing the previously sipencedsilenced population to start mass strikes, which were met by firing squads. These strikes made the failing economy to accelerate. Amgered by the government mistreatment, armed revolts began in Arnstal, Kultin, Marlo and Weltam, declaring themselves the Sveitefront (Liberty Front). Martov called the Army to intervene, but Haya, now head of the Army, defected to the SF. This saw a large portion of the Army defect, beginning the Civil War in earnest, between the Svietefront ,Made made of Democrats and Anarchistsanti-martovistss from all sides of the political spectrum, against the Truv Kommunist (Loyalist Communist), Made up of Hardliner Communists and Martovists.
 
The [[Durakan Civil War]] was a three year long brutal war between the Liberty Front Militia, aided by the Kingdom of [[Tretrid]], fighting against the Government Forces and Red Militia.

== Government and Politics ==
 
Durakia is run from two main politucal bodies: the Council of Trade Unions, made of 120 elected representitives, one from each of the 10 Deoartments from each of the 12 regions. The other government body is the Durakan Revolutionary Council, a body of officials dealing with Nationwide Decisions. The DRA is led by the Heaf of the Durakan Governmemt, while the CTU is led by its own Head, appointed by the Union representitives to impose the will of the CTU on the DRA.
 
== Geography of Durakia ==

The two main bodies running Durakia are both seated in the capital, Wesnov. The Durakan Revolutionary Council handles the executive branch of the country. It is headed by the Direklieter, the [[wikipedia:head_of_state|head of state]] of Durakia, which is a position elected every five years. Currently, the position is held by the [[Social Democratic Party|SDP]]. The Direklieter has the power to appoint the Secretaries of Durakia, with approval of the legislative branch, which make up half of the DRC, working as an effective cabinet of sorts. The Direklieter is also in charge of approving some legilature actions, such as appointing Department overseers, the other half of the DRC.

The Departments make up the legislative branch of Durakia, through the Council of Trade Unions. The Council of Trade Unions is an elected assembly of 300 Union Representatives. Union Representatives (SRs in Durakan) are members of the Trade Union led Departments, with each department having two elected officials from each of the 15 Provinces of Durakia, elected every two years. Union Representatives elect the leader of the department, so long as they are approved by the Direklieter, and the Council as a whole elect a Head of the Union Council and Deputy of the Council to oversee the legislature and decide which laws shall be voted on. These two positions are currently held by DWP Leader [[Tarov Hyla]] and [[Social Democratic Party|SDP]] member Emil Petrov, with both accountable to their parties and the Council as a whole, as Leadership could only be held with a majority of the Union Council's support, leading to many coalition governments.
== Culture ==
Placeholder Culture
 
It is most often that Union Councils were led by the same party that held the executive, with maybe a coalition partner as deputy, but this is not always the case. With the differing term limits of Direklieter and Union Council, a Ruling Party can lose favour and seats in the Union Council during their five year term, leading to governments where the legislative and executive branches are led by different parties. The current government is a lighter example of such, with an SDP Direklieter and a DWP-SDP Coalition led Council.,
