Sedamacia is a region that is part of the larger nation of Zetania. It is in Ward 2. Currently located in Northeast Zeta, it borders Cresta to the north at the Loma Sur Mountain Range and Segarra to the east. The region's capital is Alana.

Lore

Indigenous inhabitation

Sedamacia was first settled around 20,000 years ago. The land was very protected due to the vast rainforests in the region at the time. Many native groups inhabited the land at the time, such as the Machakwi and Kuyemak people, two hunter-gatherer groups. The two people groups had somewhat of a rivalry against each other, which led to many conflicts at the time. The groups often fought each other for dominance over the other group. The groups both did partake in many activities, such as competing while hunting.

Ancient Galea and Tsiyi

In 1365 BC, as civilization became more advanced, many of the natives began farming instead of hunting, as well as building permanent housing. A man by the name of Luian Helan helped lead the other people, and eventually established the Kingdom of Galea, whose territory is now part of all of Cuyamaca and most of Sedamacia. Many villages were established, such as the ancient village of Tsiyi, the most developed and populated village there. Tsiyi was a major center of commerce and trade with other villages. Eventually, Tsiyi became the capital of Galea. The kingdom itself lasted for 6000 years until the Velarians invaded the kingdom.

Velarian rule

Around 1353 AD, Galea was invaded Velarians who overthrew Luian and took control of the kingdom. They then absorbed the kingdom into the Velarian Empire, and the capital was moved to Honova, which is now modern day New Wellsboro. The new ruler was a man by the name of Chayton Waya, who ruled over the remaining Galeans with an iron fist. Emperor Chayton was very respectful to his people, but mistreated the native Galeans horribly. He mainly enforced strict rules for the Galeans only, and had many of them put into slavery. Galeans who did not comply were either tortured or killed. The Galeans didn't take this very well, and began to revolt.

The Tsiyi Uprising and the Alayan Revolution

In 1543 AD, many people in the new Velarian Empire weren't so happy with their new government, so they began to revolt. Many people in Tsiyi sabotaged the ports and threw cargo into the ocean. People in Honova burnt down government buildings and raided the Honovan Palace. Many others elsewhere supported this movement. One man was named David Alayan. He was a general who led the Velarian 3rd Regiment, the most powerful army in the kingdom. Many of his men supported the need for a revolution. One day, the regiment marched to the capitol and demanded that Emperor Waya abdicates. When he refused. the people rioted harder. This marked the start of intense fighting in the region. On December 28th 1563, the Velarian Army opened fire on rioters in Honova. The Honovan Massacre sparked even more intense fighting. In retaliation, with even more shots fired, on January 12th 1564, David Alayan marched toward the capital with his regiment from Tsiyi. He managed to pick up more soldiers on the way there. While on the way there, a Velarian Army regiment fired upon the regiment at Talon Creek, beginning the first major battle of the revolution. After many hours of fighting, Alayan came out victorious, and marched on. After his army grew in size, and many battles were won, he reached Honova. There, he engaged against the 32nd regiment, a very powerful regiment that guarded the city. Whilst the two armies were fighting, Emperor Waya managed to flee the city and went back to sovereign Velarian territory. After Alayan won the battle, the army marched into the palace. The palace was guarded by a group called the Guard of the Key. Seeing that they most likely wouldn't stand a chance against Alayan's army, the Guard of the Key immediately surrendered. Alayan's army marched into the palace, and in front of growing crowds, proclaimed the brand new Republic of Alayan.

The Republic of Alayan

In 1571, David Alayan declared the creation of the Republic of Alayan. He guaranteed the fair treatment of the people, and the start of a democracy. His supporters cheered for him, knowing that he would lead the country to greatness. Many new reforms were made to the government, such as the abolition of slavery and many anti-Galean laws. Even though many people supported many of his reforms that were made to the country, many of the people still felt left out. Many of the people found out that the reforms had still not affected the Sedalis, an ethnic group who was mainly found in northern Alayan. They believed that the reforms were only made to the other Alayans. Even worse, many of the laws that David was supporting were mainly anti-Sedali. Many people started civil rights movements. however they were quickly shut down. Due to this, David founded the Alayan Civil Protection Agency, who were mainly meant to crack down on civil rights groups. One day, a group of civil rights activists who were peacefully protesting were shot down by the ACPA. Almost all of the Sedalis were furious with David. Then, on May 16th 1915, Alayan military general Alexander Robertson declared independence for the Republic of Sedalia.

The Sedalian Revolution

After seeing the declaration sent by Robertson, the Alayans immediately began sending troops into Sedalian land. The Sedalians fought hard against the Alayans. The first major battle was at Limestone Gorge, in which the Alayans won. The Sedalians first successfully won a battle at the Battle of Cardiff River. The two sides both continued clashing at each other for the remainder of the war. The most major battle of the war then happened at the Battle of Fort Allison, which resulted in a key Sedalian victory. The Alayans continued to march toward the Sedalian capital of Solana Beach, then continued to get pushed back. This continued until February 10th 1925, where at Taiga Hills Town Hall, the Alayans surrendered. The two countries signed a treaty, which ceded five of the northern provinces to the new Republic of Sedalia.

The First Sedalian Republic

Map of the First Sedamacian Republic and its bordering states

The newly independent Republic of Sedalia led by president Alexander Roberto was a huge success. Many people began enjoying the many benefits of the new country. Many were finally happy that everyone was treated fairly. The capital was moved to the brand new city of Alana. The country's economy began to grow and its population began to increase. Furthermore, trade and commerce was increasing. However, President Roberto wanted more power, so he began to turn the country into a large one-party dictatorship, with himself at its center. Furthermore, he wanted influence, and wanted to show that Delacia wasn't weak. To increase influence, Sedamacia joined in the Altean Civil War in 1945. Many were supportive of this, however as the war turned seemingly unwinnable, many were against the war. The president continued having Sedalia fight in the war. As public opinion drastically shifted away from staying the war, many were calling for the resignation of president Roberto.

Helan Restoration and the Reunification

Eventually, President Roberto died on on May 21st 1986. After that, vice president Mason Newman took office. Newman was a staunch supporter of the leader before him, and supported many of Roberto's policies. He pledged to continue fighting in the Altean Civil War and continued to distance themselves with Alayan, which was now the Kingdom of Cuyamaca. However during the leadership of Newman, a group of Sedalian royalists wished to restore the House of Helan that had been ruling Galea before the Velarians invaded, Many in both Sedalia and Cuyamaca saw this government as the only legitimate form of rule, and on February 10th, 1991, Newman was overthrown in a coup d'état by the royalist faction, installing Azuras IV as the new King of Sedalia. Eventually, a treaty between Sedalia and Cuyamaca was signed in the August of 1993, uniting the two nations under one crown, becoming the Kingdom of Sedamacia. President Wilson Thompson of Cuyamaca was made Prime Minister. Thompson was loved by the people. He pledged to remove Sedamacia from the Altean Civil War, and to repair the broken bonds between Sedamacia and Velaria. On July 6th 1991, Sedamacian troops in Altea were sent back home. Meanwhile in 1983, the Velarian government under president Yuri Volkov issued a referendum on annexation into Sedamacia. With a total of 94% "for" votes, Sedamacia then proceeded to annex Velaria as an autonomous republic on September 23rd, 1998, with Volkov becoming its governor, eventually becoming an official province of Sedamacia in July of 2004.

The Boberton War

In March of 2021, Sedamacia along with Cndaria and Cypress supplemented troops in Boberton which were fighting a civil war against a rebelling territory of the city. The primary cause of this was that Sedamacia was a strong ally of Boberton, and also wanted to extend relations with Cndaria and Cypress. Following a defeat for the allies, Sedamacia then took some time to upgrade its military by strengthening its navy among other things.

Cold War with Sand

In early 2021, tensions between many nations against the State of United Sand (SUS) began to rise, with one of those nations being Sedamacia. The Sedamacian Air Force personally performed several air strikes on various government buildings in the city. Aside from that, Sedamacia hasn't made any attempts to invade the city yet. Sedamacia is one of the only anti-SUS nations to not join the Sand Secret Salvation Militia, an organization aimed at liberating Sand from it's Crimsonist authfur rule. When prime minister Matthew Brent was asked about why he didn't join the SSSM, he replied "We prefer to take these matters on our own volition, as we want to be a nation that liberated Sand, not a nation liberating Sand under someone else."

Sedamacian-Velarian War

Geography

Sedamacia is located in northeast Zeta, on the southwestern side of the Northern Ocean. The nation occupies a decent amount of the Great Northeastern subcontinent, a mostly forested landmass relatively near Secunda. Mostly being surrounded by land, it is home to a variety of forests and habitats.

The western area of Sedamacia is covered in mostly plains and forests, while the eastern area contains a greater variety of forests and swamps. Also located in the east is the Loma Sur Mountain Range, which was formed 82 million years ago when the Crestan Plate collided with the Greater Northeastern Plate, forming the mountain range.

   Liberal Progressive Party: 70 seats
   Conservative Republican Party: 20 seats
   Vacant: 12 seats

The federal system consists of several layers of government, that being the national law, provincial law, and local law. Local law is mostly handled via municipal governments, as most counties in provinces are typically consolidated city-counties. Local officials such as executive and legislative officials are elected via a plurality vote by citizens depending on districts and areas set by the municipal government.

The Sedamacian government is split into 3 different branches

  • The Legislative branch: the branch responsible for making national law. The legislature has the ability to declare war, make treaties, and impeach the current president
  • The Executive branch: the branch responsible for the maintaining and running of the Republic of Sedamacia by the President, as well as enforcing law. The president can appoint people to government positions and appoint officers.
  • The Judicial branch: the branch responsible for interpreting law, and overturn laws they find unconstitutional. The justices are appointed via the national congress.

Sedamacia's legislative body is bicameral, operating under 2 chambers, that being both the Common Assembly, and the Senate, making up the Sedamacian National Congress. The Common Assembly has 102 members. Each 2 members represent an electorate. Electorates are determined based on population. The Senate has 21 members. Each 3 members represent each ministrate.

Administrative Divisions

Sedamacia is a federal state, therefore the nation has been divided. Each region receives a great level of autonomy.

Provinces

Sedamacia is split into 6 different provinces, and 1 federal district, all run by a separate head of government, that being the governor. Each province, has its own separate provincial government, and are allowed to make their own provincial laws separate from the national law, and receives a large amount of autonomy. Provinces are still somewhat affected by national law however. Provinces can vote in the national congress.

Parties and elections

Sedamacian general elections are held every 2 years. Elections begin in April and last until May. Voting is non-compulsory, and is open to all who are 18 and up.
