'''Axdel''' (Axdelian: ''Ax̂delii''), officially known as '''The Federation of Axdel''', is a sovereign federal state consisting of three constituent countries; [[Korstazia]], [[Lyrevale]], and [[Quartz Fern Coast]]. It is situated on the Axdelian peninsula of South-West [[Aurora]], and borders the nations of [[Emberwood Coast]], [[Great Morstaybishlia]], [[Oceansend]], and [[
The land on which Axdel sits has been inhabited by sapient species' for potentially up to a million years, with the arrival of the first anatomically modern [[Cava]] in the area. The first civilisation in the area was Laqytia, a collection of agricultural city states. From the iron age the region was conquered by the influential Kormistazic empire and its numerous satellite states. The empire collapsed and was re-established two times under dozens of imperial dynasties. The Third Kormistazic Empire established and administered colonial territories on [[Arcturia]] for several centuries. After a five decade long series of invasions by Morstaybishlia in the 16th century, mainland Kormistazm surrendered and was incorporated into the empire. After the end of the first [[Posolic Wars|Posolic war]] in 1810 the region was granted principality status, bearing the modern name of Axdel, and after the end of the [[Great War]] in 1917 it became a semi-independent Dominion. Axdel gained full independence after a socialist-led coup, forming the [[Noroist Axdel]] dictatorship and triggering the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. Lyrevale and Quartz Fern Coast seceded after the war, with the former rejoining Axdel in a federation after the its [[Lyrevale Civil War|civil]] and [[Lyrevale Continuation War|continuation]] wars. The Noroist government collapsed in 1996 after a slow, bitter two year [[Axdel civil war|civil war]], with the present democratic government succeeding it after a short transition. The majority of Quartz Fern Coast was incorporated into the federation in 2003 after a referendum following the collapse of its authoritarian government in the years prior.

===== Morstaybishlian Colonial era =====
After conquering Kormistazm and consolidating control over its vast mainland, Morstaybishlia began looking increasingly outwards from Aurora with the goal of overseas exploration, expanding trade and establishing new colonies. This was largely borne out of competition with other Auroran powers, who were also pursuing similar goals in Arcturia and the [[Cerenerian Ocean|Cerenarian ocean]]. the MBE was uniquely experienced amongst its competitors with its numerous developed ports, large presence on the east Arcturian seaboard and its successful domination of Kormistazm. The lessons already learned from its enterprises in the previous centuries and its vast labour force it could draw from gave it an immense advantage, and lead to the empire becoming a powerful influence across the globe. Long term economic downturn from the collapse of the Kormistazic empire alongside its rapidly growing cities meant Cavan labour from the area was amongst the cheapest and often the most willing for the difficult work of establishing colonies overseas. Whilst cava were legally protected against slavery, transportation to penal colonies was a common punishment for minor crimes such as theft or vagrancy until the late 19th century, providing a bountiful supply of workers. Many Cava also emigrated voluntarily, travelling in large numbers to any more accepting country or colony. The vast majority would travel to other Cava majority countries such as [[
