History of Packilvania: Difference between revisions

Communist rule was characterised by considerable economic growth, military expansion and political influence abroad. Nevertheless, the country pursued the systematic extermination of human beings. Working with the government of the Packilvanian puppet state [[Drakkengard]] and the colonial government of the [[Commonwealth of Albanares]], the [[Carriers of Mercy]] under the leadership of [[Amhoud I]] rescued millions of humans and built up armaments. In 1985, they started the Second Packilvanian Civil War and defeated the Communist Party. They reestablished the Sultanate of Packilvania as a Feline-led Paxist dominated political order under the [[Bedonite dynasty]]. Their reign has seen accelerated economic growth, military expansion, political influence etc. Nevertheless, modern Packilvania remains a relatively isolated protectionist theocratic absolute monarchy under its current [[Sultan of Packilvania|Sultan]], [[Namdun III]].

In 19561951, Prince Amhoud became a senior commander at the Department of Reeducation and Indoctrination. He was responsible for the detainment and transport of humans to the desert reeducation camps where many of them died. In that position, he felt the full weight of the horrors of the felocentric regime of [[Gideon Muktan]]. He started to build up a secret network of allies to transport humans to Allegheny, Albares and [[Tissandra]]. Originally they had disguised their work as spreading Communism to foreign nations under the guise of foreign felinotarian aid.

In 1966, the [[Carriers of Mercy]] had 200,000 members and over 1,4 million volunteers. By 1966, the [[Carriers of Mercy]] had rescued 28 million humans and became a powerful faction in the Communist Party that quietly but noticeably advocated for Prince Amhoud Bedon to become the General Secretary of the PCP after Ishikan.

In 1968, the PCP faced international sanctions, failed harvests and dangerous levels of population growth, widespread proverty, inequality, government corruption and other socio-economic issues. In response to these socio-economic issues, the PCP used more propaganda and brutality. In its weakness, Prince Amhoud and the [[Carriers of Mercy]] smuggled weapons from neighbouring nations, coordinated with dethroned nobles and ostracised Paxist clergymen to retake control from the Communist government.

In 19771974, Prince Amhoud launched a massive arson attack on the Trans-Packilvanian Railway that transported freight and passengers from [[Bingol]] to [[Shakar]] (where most of the reeducation camps were located. The [[Carriers of Mercy]] destroyed many reeducation camps and rescued millions of people who fled on land and by sea to surrounding nations. The capital city of [[Shakar]], Sharkol, was taken and a new government was proclaimed over Shakar called the Packilvanian Transitional Authority. It claimed legitimacy as the true government of Packilvania and sought international recognition, with ambassadors being sent to powerful foreign nations. To gain foreign respect, it brandished its credentials as a human-liberating organisation.

The war lasted another teneleven years. Paxists Thiswere powerful statement, galvanised the religious community of Packilvaniagalvanized to rebel against the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]]. Uprisings arose in major cities and people burnt down government buildings. Small bands of militias formed across the nation and pledged their loyalty to the new Sultan. The forces of Sultan Amhoud I captured Halaler in 1974 at the Batttle of Halaler. Ukanar was captured in 19751978 following the Battle of Abkeder. Kharyat and [[Jumhurikesh]] fell in 19781975.Sultan [[Amhoud I]] captured Halaler in 1983 at the Battle of Halaler. By 19791984, only [[Mekedesh]] and [[Rigaryat]] remained in Communist hands. By the end of the year 1985, the Communist were defeated at the Third Battle of [[Bingol]]. CommunistThe leaderfalling Barol Makhmuden committed suicide along with 300 members of the CommunistYaladir government. In their act of suicide, they used a major scorched earth policy that saw more destruction of public infrastructure and loss of life than had been done by the [[Carriers of Mercy]]. At the desolate city of [[Bingol]], the Sultan declared victory over the Communists and that Packilvania was free from Communism. The holy city of [[Adrien]] in [[Ashura]] was taken along with the Far North of Ashura province. On the steps of the [[Temple of the Restoration]], the Supreme Magister Venam Muhadek proclaimed the restoration of the Sultanate of Packilvania and crowned Prince Amhoud as Sultan [[Amhoud I]] of Packilvania.

Parliament was convened for the first time in decades. It comprised of representatives from across political, social and religious lines. Soon into the process, it became clear that Sultan Amhoud I and the [[Carriers of Mercy]] wanted to establish a theocratic quasi-absolute monarchy. Despite the struggle with more liberal forces, the Sultan's power and charisma won over dissidents. Thus, on 23 FebruaryAugust 19801985, the Constitution of Packilvania was promulgated and the present form of government was established. Fundamentalist Paxists took over positions in the judiciary, policy, armed forces and civil service and proceed to fashion a [[Paxism|Paxist]] society. The nobility were rewarded for their contribution to the civil war through the restoration of their titles and lands and access to new business ventures through the privatisation of state-owned enterprises. The government of Sultan Amhoud gradually did away with Communist-era economic policy and undertook economic reforms such as establishing special economic zones. However, the government remained a dictatorship.
