===The First Steps (1923-48)===


After the formal restructuring of the Veridian Union, the next goal was the massive buildup of military and full implementation of the Youth Scouts. In accordance with the Five-Year plans set in 1923 through 1948, the state exerted political and unconventional force on nations in the Gondwana continent. Such nations would be Toloria, Genosha, Owha, and Elbina.
After the formal restructuring of the Veridian Union, the next goal was the massive buildup of military and full implementation of the Youth Scouts. In accordance with the Five-Year plans set in 1923 through 1948, the state exerted political and unconventional force on nations in the Novaris continent.


The need for these five-year plans was primarily out of obtaining materials and resources not present on the Veridian Islands. Toloria and Genosha had their democratically elected governments replaced by a one party fascist state who held Pro-Union views in 1942 and 1946. However, Elbina and Owha still held Caliphate-leaning sympathizes.

===Military Intervention in Northern Gondwana(1948-1955)===

Unhappy with the efforts in Elbina and Owha, the Union Commission set forth another five-year plan to overthrow the individual nations via military invasion. At first this would be seen as aggression and possibly spark a conflict between the Caliphate and the Union. The Commission relied upon a black flag operation to gain an acceptable caucus belli in which to lead a military force into both nations.

In 1950, the state of Genosha and Toloria were attacked by an unknown force in Elbina and Owha.

Bewefull is the official state religion of the Veridian Union. It's origins traced back to Pre-Colonial Felidae tribes, it was promoted in lieu with the fascist's natalist ideals with Christian influences. A trait of the Bewefull is the prominance of large families or procreation. It sees children as a blessing from God and it promotes compulsory procreation, abstaining from most forms of birth control and sterilization. The religion is chiefly in the Veridian Union, but there are some adherents in Toloria, Genosha, and elsewhere.

With the formation of the Veridian Union, the Bewefull exploded in popularity. However the more traditional elements, albeit minor, campaign against the state's policies on abortion for medical reasons.

Enforcing a fascist curriculum on schools depended on the teachers delivering it. All teachers had to be vetted by local officials. Any teacher considered disloyal was sacked. Many attended classes during school holidays in which the curriculum was spelled out and 97% of all teachers joined the Teachers’ Association. All teachers had to be careful about what they said as children were encouraged to inform the authorities if a teacher said something that did not fit in with the nation's curriculum for schools.

History was based on the glory of the Union – a nationalistic approach was compulsory. The faltering democratic government in the late 1800s and early 1900s was explained as the example of democracy's failures. The rise of communism and the Pax Caliphate was seen as degeneracy that sought the end of the way of life under the Union.
