'''The Free Land of Emberwood Coast''', better known as Emberwood Coast (ˈem:bər:wo͝od kōst), is a nation that exists on the northeastern coast of the [[Aurora|Auroran Continent]], that has land borders with [[Axdel]] to the east and [[Quartz Fern Coast]] to the south. Its capitol (and largest city) is Aura, which is home to almost 43 million people. The country is highly technologically advanced, featuring a robust research sector as well as a relatively advanced Space Administration. The large lake in the southwest, Mapleleaf Lake, is home to a vast array of temperate wildlife. Most of the nation is cooler due to the nation's low latitude, and oceanic currents often develop multi-day long rainstorms over the capitol, Aura. Aura is home to the headquarters of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]].

Aura is home to the headquarters of the [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]].
 
Modern day Emberwood Coast was originally settled by a mix of small uspalrian and Human villages in the early 7000s BCE. As civilization of the continent progressed, marginalized groups and exiles coalesced into a loose alliance by the second century BCE. In 122 CE, after refocusing their armies Kormistazic forces took [[Aurelia]], the largest of several communities in the area. Later, however, collapse of Kormistazm and eruption of Mount Koriba in 512CE allowed the region to develop independently once more, now with significantly more advanced technology from under Kormistazic rule. The are remained independent until the early 900s, when the Second Kormastazic Empire reconquered the area and held it until 1575, when it was officially ceded to the Morstaybishlian Empire. Up to this point, it had primarily remained agrarian, sending food east towards Kormastazm but remaining otherwise underdeveloped. Morst rule brought modernized cities and greatly expanded maritime infrastructure, leading to rapid technological and cultural growth, as well as the development of a regional identity. A brief anarchist revolt just before and during the outbreak of war in 1904 initially seemed fruitless, but laid the groundwork for the eventual formation of Emberwood Coast after a broader leftist coalition fought for and won independence from Morst rule in 1970.
 
Emberwood Coast is governed by a mix of volunteer and elected council officials, with a devolutionary model leaving decisions to local and regional groups whenever possible.

=Etymology and Vexillology =
===Emberwood===
''[[Acer aurum|A. aurum]]'' is a species of maple tree in the ''Acer'' genus, which is native to the coastal midlands of the Mapplethorpe valley and west of the Auric Mountains. The tree sports dark golden to burgundy leaves which lighten in the fall to a bright yellow which lends itself to many Emberitian symbols. As it grows almost exclusively within the borders of modern day Emberwood Coast, it operated as one symbol of cultural identity during the occupations of the Kormastizic and later Morstaybishlian Empires. It first saw use as a name in the spring of 1970 with the initial independence declaration from Morstaybishlia in connection with Norograd, when the breakaway principality was renamed from [[History of Emberwood Coast|Westmoore]] to Ember Valley. When revolutionary leadership voted to further secede as a full nation from the Noroist Republic, it became known as Emberwood Coast.
 
===Flag Designs and Revolutionary Iconography===
==== Lotus Flag====
The initial revolutionary flag sported a lotus emblem, as well as stars for the constituent provinces of the governorship. The original designer is not known, but the symbol hails from an infamous televised address of Aura Precinct Chief [[William C. Watson]], responsible for violent crackdowns on protests and demonstrations in the late 1960s. In a news conference on July 5th, 1968 he said of the protesters, "This must end. No movement of freaks and regressives can, or will, succeed while I am in control of this city. The residents of this city must be protected from this antisocial movements at all costs." In the background of the broadcast, a lone protestor can be seen with a small cardboard sign with text reading "We Could All Use A Little Sin" ringing a stylized lotus flower. Recovered recordings of the broadcasts briefly show the protestor cracking the wooden handle of the sign over the Precinct Chief's head before the feed cuts to a title card.
 
Line 92 ⟶ 117:
In 2019 a political realignment was accompanied by a democratically flag redesign that saw a departure from the lotus symbol and an embrace of [[History of Emberwood Coast|triple bar]] imagery as [[Wikipedia:Syndicalism|syndicalist]] groups retook government for the first time in two decades. The current design is credited to [[Cilantro (Vexillologist)|Cilantro]], a professor at Kaleidoscope University.
 
=History =
''Main Articles: [[History of Emberwood Coast]]''
 
=== Early Settlements and Agriculture===
The first recorded evidence of sentient habitation is traced to Stone Age dark-skinned humans from central Aurora who are the ancestors of today's Native Emberitians. Archaeological digs dated to 6500 BCE indicate they lived in small, nomadic, and pastoral tribes and spread over the northwestern coast of the peninsula and the forested highlands to the south. As west Auroran cavan civilizations consolidated intoaround the Kormistaziccity empirestates of Laqytia, these nomadic peoples were constrained towards the northern coast, limiting their spread to the northwest coast of the western peninsula. Semi-permanent settlements existed in a novel format, cultivating semi-organized fields of grains that were shared between traveling groups in an arrangement that still exists (albeit in a more motorized format) in current day Aurora as the Nyerrian peoples. Civilization was, at least until the 6th century CE, limited to small villages. The most advanced of these utilized bronze tools, and sparse steel implements from more advanced empires that had filtered through the mountains separating the coastal highlands from the Lyr Valley. By the 7th century BCE, these groups had unified into a loose coalition under the name "Aronia".
 
===Cultural Expansion ===
As other human civilizations expanded across the continent, other species including u[http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria[Species#Usprian_Elves%7CUsprian spalriansElves|uspalrians]] and [[Vulpine|vulpines]] were forced from their lands as ethnic human empires began to solidify to the east. These ethnic groups settled and intermingled with the semi-nomadic cultures to form more permanent cities. Irrigated farms and contemporary aqueducts helped support larger settlements, spurring a further population boom. This boom was further compounded after the nearbyexpanding Kormistazic ruleempire suffered defeats to Solto and Teban armies. This, coupled with decline of established empires allowed for steady growth of local city-states, the strongest of which was the city of [[Aurelia]] near modern day Aymes around the early 2nd century BCE. nIn the 2nd century CE, the Kormistazic civilization andempire began to encroach on Aronian land, seeing its potential value as a new province. The few existing cities formed small armies to counter imperial incursions, and resisted being conquered by the Kormistazic for over a century. Due to resistance by the SoltoSoltics and Tebanother unruly satellite civilizationscivilisations, the Kormistazic were unable to devote enough resources to conquering the AroniansAronian at the time. However, in the 1st century CE, the Kormistazic defeated these civilizations including the Aronians. Continued raids by [[Axdel|Kormistazic]] forces slowly eroded the city's infrastructure and military strength until, in 122 CE, it was conquered. Further campaigns brought the remainder of the region, save for a few small towns, into Kormistazm rule.
 
=== Democracy and Emberitian Identity===
Later, however, the collapse of Kormistazm and eruption of Mount Tore in 512CE allowed the region to develop independently once more, now with significantly more advanced technology from under Kormistazic rule. The region's unique geography lent itself to a somewhat reduced impact from the disaster, helping the area "catch up" in technological development with its larger neighbors. Valerian refugees brought further new technologies including the compass, spinning wheel, and carding machines; as well as leading to advancements like wood-pulp paper in 611CE, and wind-powered grain mills in the late 770s CE. These discoveries coupled with advancements in steelworking, archery, and military science allowed the alliance to remain free of outside rule nearly until the end of the millennium. With that time, small but growing cities were establishing identities as centers of refugee and immigrant life, leading to extensive democratic structures and forestalling inroads of capitalism significantly. Worker's councils oversaw production of grain and steel, construction and maintenance of infrastructure, even staffing and administration of a contemporarily advanced public education network. This lead to the largest of the cities in that age, [[Kaleidoscope#History|Vale]] (modern day Kaleidoscope), having a population in excess of 100,000 people in 804CE. In total, the current land area of Emberwood Coast was estimated to be home to over 300,000 people in the year 800 CE, almost a full third of which having genealogies originating outside the region or continent. In 913, however, the militaristic and expansionist second Kormistazic Empire made signifigantsignificant inroads into the region. Numerous battles slowed but failed to stop this advance, leading to the reconquest of the area and it's settlement by Kormistazic nationals. Interestingly, only a partial reconstruction of the region took place, leading to abandonment of some population centers (including Aurelia, Birdsong, and Imi). This lead to a resurgence of agrarian and pastoral lifestyles, capitalized upon by Kormastazic leadership in the form of grain quotas and mandatory exports in order to fuel its eastern expansion. While this did strengthen the military efforts in campaigns like Staynicca, it severely reduced quality of life in the Aronian province. Cavan settlers from Kormistazic territory occasionally evicted and killed human, vekaiyun and uspalrian farmers with the help of local forces. Strained imperial forces held the Aronian land despite efforts of democratic agitators and independence movements until the late 10th century, when weakening central leadership allowed for the organization of a number of underground organizations as well as the further development of proto-syndicalist ideology. Kormistazic rule was never fully broken, however, and the reformation of the country as the Third Kormistazic Empire only further solidified the authoritarian policies enacted on the land.
 
Conscription was common for the residents of the region, as Kormistazm turned its eyes to colonialization and conquest. Population in the Aronian province fell by nearly a quarter due to famines, foreign conflict, and displacement. Further Kormastazic conquest in Arcturia necessitated development of Aris (modern day Rockport) as a contemporary maritime hub in 1190. The first real imperial investment in the Aronian province, it was receiving cargo by 1228, and building ships by the end of the 13th century, helping to enable something of a golden age in the empire. This was short lived, however, as a plague outbreak in the early 14th century stunted growth of the Third Empire. Subsequent effects of this decrease in productive and economic output landed the Morstaybishlian Empire far ahead in development, setting the stage for the Morst invasion of Kormastazm two centuries later.
Line 109 ⟶ 134:
In 1575, after more than 50 years of war, the Third Kormistazic Empire fell to Morstaybishlia. Aronia was redubbed "Ember Valley". Treatment of what was now Ember Valley moderately improved over Kormistazic rule, though this was primarily as a result of technological advancement as opposed to any mandate from imperial leadership. The next two centuries primarily saw development and modernization of agricultural zones left over from both independent and Kormistazic development, but in 1872 the city of Aura broke ground as part of a maritime shipping expansion mandate. Strain on food supply lead to development of overseas agricultural colonies in Arcturia, necessitating a convenient port for overland transfer towards inland Aurora. Food, naval arms, guns, and notably, slaves, all found their way through Aura and west towards the heart of Morst land on a regular basis. The city grew rapidly and attracted many immigrants, particularly racial and special minorities who invariably found low-paid work as deckhands, porters, and laborers at warehouses and dry-docks. As in generations before, this further diversified the demographic milieu and began to generate political radicals in earnest. In 1855 a series of anarchist-affiliated bombings on statues and provincial government buildings spurred military intervention and a further crackdown on intellectual institutions; however further industrialization and the now readily available printing press made stopping the ideas, if not the operatives, of anarchist and communist thought next to impossible this far from the seat of imperial power. Railroad lines, by contrast, began to make inroads towards the coast and in 1861 the first cross-mountain line completed a route from Aura to Andel. This somewhat alleviated the difficulties imperial authorities had in policing the governance, but did not cure the central problem for the sprawling empire: manpower. The Factory Act, a Morst law passed in 1869 initially saw limited adoption in Emberitian factories but quickly fell defunct as industrial demand climbed with the increasing quality of life expected in more advanced nations, most notable among them being Staynes and Cathalrus. These exports and growing naval demand for ships-of-the-line to meet the increasing demands of the Morst Admiralty came to a head when in the fall of 1904 the first shots of the [[Great War]] were fired.
 
The first two decades of the 20th century saw over 11,000 conscripted men from Ember Valley die in combat as part of offensives by the Imperial Powers. Of the nearly 50,000 who returned, nearly half were severely wounded, and they returned to a governorship that had lost an estimated 140,000 civilians to food and medicine shortages between 1905 and 1917. The halt of the slave trade, while obviously widely accepted as a positive, had unintended consequences; the combination of freed peoples who were suddenly released in the province as well as the returning veterans of the war strained an already threadbare supply chain almost to the breaking point. Discoveries in fertilizer, refrigeration, and chemical pesticides helped prevent full-scale famine but were unsuccessful in holding unrest at bay. The late 1920s and early 1930s featured the Morst "War on Slavery", necessitating the expansion of shipyards at Aura and the development of a new city, Portside, to accommodate the fleet expansion for the Cerenarian and Concordian Oceans.

Work programs helped alleviate direct action and terrorism somewhat, but had an inverse effect on regular workers, and again, radical theory spread like wildfire in the close working environments of ship's hulls and high-rise skeletons. By 1940, political violence in Korstazia had begun to spill over into Noroist violence in some small Emberitian towns, and police militarization began sharply increasing. Lone ceremonial guards around government buildings were replaced with IFVs and body-armored troops, yet by 1957 there were scant months that passed without a [[Emberitian Revolution|separatist demonstration or attack]]. Notably, all but two bombings managed to avoid civilian injury.

The onset of the late 20th century brought the anti-imperial sentiments of rock music, recreational substance use, and a new explosion of leftist ideologies from both inside and outside the empire. This proved to be the final straw for the independence movement, and on January 19th, 1970, an assault on the Bayside District Armory netted the Free Land Alliance over 3,000 long guns, three armored fighting vehicles, and numerous pieces of body armor and other equipment. This marked the first shots fired in the Emberitian Revolutionary Movement, and prompted a violent (if limited) response from imperial authorities. February 1st and 26th each saw heavy fighting in Aura and Rockport, particularly the latter date which saw the seizure of the [[MBS Victory|''MBS Victory'']] as well as [[Emberwood Coast Military|three destroyers]] that founded the backbone of the resistance's nascent maritime force. Following a skirmish with two Morst cruisers, the ''Victory'' suffered severe hull damage that left her beached on the east beach of Aura. Rather than attempt to repair the hull damage, anarchist fighters opted to reinforce the seaward-facing side of the ship and build around it, forming the first 250 meters of the [[Aura Bastion Emplacements]].
 
=== Post-Revolutionary Organization===
[[Thesius Crumpus Vorenstein|Lord Thesius Crumpus Vorenstein]], governor of what is now Emberwood Coast, parts of Lyrevale, and Northern Quartz Fern Coast, cracked down on the protests that were flaring up around his estate with police. When they were just eighteen years old, Syng stood in front of an officer who had been attacking a man, and refused to move. Three days later, on January 18th, 1970, Lord Voernstein was exiled and Syng, who'd lead several of the revolts before their incident in front of police, was then elected as temporary leader of what was briefly "The People's Republic of Ember Valley."

A relatively young nation, Emberwood Coast has been around for only 40 years. The nation is a breakaway territory of [[Noroist Axdel]] (which itself was a breakaway from the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]) since the outbreak of the [[The Auroran Imperial War| Auroran Imperial War]]. As tensions grew and war raged on, the citizens of the coast could no longer allow themselves to add to the fight.
===Post-Revolutionary Organization===
A relatively young nation, Emberwood Coast has been around for only 40 years. The nation is a breakaway territory of [[Norograd]] (which itself was a breakaway from the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]]) since the outbreak of the [[The Auroran Imperial War| Auroran Imperial War]]. As tensions grew and war raged on, the citizens of the coast could no longer allow themselves to add to the fight.
 
As the bloody fight for independence was being waged on the outskirts of the administrative region, numerous rock songs spurred the coastal population to action. Among them was [["This Free Land"]], which eventually was adopted as the national anthem. In April of 1970, rebel leaders became signatory to the Norogradian secession, but dropped out of the treatise in 1971, after whispers surfaced on the possible use of nuclear weaponry to end the conflict. Out of this fight rose a democratic government; [[Chance Syng]] was elected president on January 9th, 1972 SD. This officially began the existence of Emberwood Coast as a sovereign nation.

The shift to a syndicalist government strained relations with other more conservative governments, and combined with the death of the former head of state caused relations with the UK and Further compounding this, following reorganization efforts, the Defense and Disaster Response council voted to cancel orders from South Hills for offensive multirole aircraft and naval vessels to divert the funds to domestic industry.

===Administrative Councils ===
The national Executive division is composed of thousands of people, organized in specific work groups, each reporting up to more general meetings until the oversight council. These are elected via single-transferable vote through different blocs (one nationally, six by general vote for specific geographic regions, and five by limited relevant vote through different industries). Each can be removed after a vote of no-confidence after a petition by any citizens of Emberwood Coast.

Additionally, the city is just West of the Border with Axdel, making it a hotspot for overland trade, with several warehouses, depots, and rail stations. Over a dozen mag-lev stations connect Rockport to the Axdelian Border. The city also has the nation's highest building, not to be confused with the ''Tallest Building''. The nation's tallest structure is located in Aura, and is shorter by ten meters because of the natural elevation of the northern part of the country.

Aura is Emberwood Coast's capital and largest city, with over 40,000,000 residents. Its [[Aura metropolitan area|59-rally metropolitan area]] has been the nation's largest since its organization in 1970 and is the fastest-growing metropolitan area in Aura, with about 2 million residents. East Aura hosts not only the nation's two chip-fabrication factories, but also Aurora's largest superconductor plant. Southern Aura is a bustling cultural center, highlighted by the Gateway Arch and Southgate Mall. Central Aura is one of the densest urban areas on Urth, featuring the historic Broken Light walk and the Twin Arcologies. [[Portside]] is home to over 8.5 million people and features the majority of Emberwood's maritime establishments. While Aura contains more coastline, the capital has stricter regulations on industrial seaside development. Therefore, Portside has more ports, harbors, and drydocks, and hosts most international trade for Emberwood. Food exports from Portside include staple crops like wheat and corn from Myriad, and orchard products from the city of Kaleidoscope. [[Rockport]] is the military headquarters of the Coast. It contains the Rockport Naval Headquarters, as well as North Coast International Airport. Additionally, the city is just west of the border with Axdel, making it a center for overland trade, with several warehouses, depots, and rail stations. Nearly a half dozen high-speed rail stations connect Rockport to the Axdelian Border.
