Equatannia: Difference between revisions

Line 82:

The two most populous districts that make up the portion of Equatannia on the Starr Peninsula, Greater Equatannia and the Federal District, were once independent tribal nations that were formed after The Great War Migration lead thousands of refugees and defectors to the region. The two nations never exhibited political conflict or hostility with one another and eventually came to the agreement to unite as one federalized state in 1920. This resolution was forged over the course of six months now known as The Internal Ambition by a committee formed of ambassadors from both nations. After a period of influence throughout the 1920s and the approval of a referendum passed by the native inhabitants in 1933, the sparsely populated Isles situated south of the Starr Peninsula were annexed into the Republic as the third governmental region. The modern Constitution was ratified by The People's Assembly and The Regional in 1936.

A majority of Equatannia's recent history was spent in a period of isolation that was brought about through administrative policy by Olympia Starr, the nation's first and longest-serving President (1920-1937). This policy was introduced as The Foreign Affairs Neutrality Resolution due to fear of conflict from surrounding nations during the foundational years of the fledgling federal state, and was in place from 1937 until 2019. The Foreign Affairs Neutrality Resolution forbid the Federal Government of Equatannia from interacting with any foreign national state, while allowing near-open immigration from all Urth nations. The policy was repealed after The Federal Reveal Act was passed by Congress and signed by current President Melinde Roswuud on December 21, 2019~~. Equatannia joined the World Assembly on May 10, 2020 and joined The East Pacific region on May 12, 2020~~.

=== Pre-Migration ===

==== Pre-Migration (?-1914) ====

Little is known about the inhabitants of the Starr Peninsula and Isles prior to The Great War Migration. Archaeologists have come to the conclusion that the earliest settlements were founded by dwarven nomads whose descendants are still present in modern-day Equatannia located in small communities of dwarves throughout the nation. These settlements traded among each other, proven by tool and accessory fossils, but were ravaged by rival natives on the eastern side of Irnac in the decades leading up to the Migration.

=== The Great War Migration ===

==== The Great War Migration (1914-1918) ====

This migration of refugees and defectors arose from the violent beginnings of The Great War and began as a repetitive cycle of settlement and displacement for various groups fleeing from their home countries. These groups would flee invading armies into sovereign states that disallowed immigration, so they would be deported or detained. This cycle eventually led thousands of individuals from primarily the eastern continents of Urth to settle primarily on the western side of Starr Peninsula and sparsely throughout the northern portion of the peninsula. A majority of these groups arrived using simple boats and rafts carved from local lumber, leading to many casualties during the trek.

It is believed that many of these caravans knew of the unclaimed native lands in the Equatannian area due to word of mouth transmission and ancient regional folk tales. Many groups set off on the journey with no solid evidence that the landmass even existed, yet the endeavor paid off. The first settlers arrived in the area of modern-day Equity Bay and quickly established the city that is the nation's capital today. Equaa quickly grew as hundreds of other transports arrived with those seeking asylum, and the citizens there welcomed them with open arms. Further north, smaller groups of settlers arrived quite later than those that had previously arrived in the southern portion of the peninsula. These groups struggled to gain enough populace to form multiple cities as the Equaa had already done, so they consolidated into the village known as Freebelsta today.
