'''Daobac''', officially referred to as the '''Daoan Congressional Republic''' ({{wp|Vietnamese|Daoan}}: ''Cộng hòa Quốc hội Đảo Bắc''), is an eastern [[Ajax|Malaio]] island nation located within the [[Ajax|Kayatman archipelago]]. The country is comprised of the two main islands of [[Bautroi]] and [[Dammay]] as well as the two lesser islands of Anhtrai and Chịgái located south east of [[Bautroi]]. The nation's capital and most populous city is [[Congvat]]. Its population of 8.5 million people are highly urbanized and is evenly distributed between the islands of Bautroi and Dammay. Daobac also shares a maritime border with [[Kajera]] to the south east. The island nation encompasses a total area of 83,520km<sup>2</sup> (32,250 sq mi) and has a population density of 102/km<sup>2</sup> (264.2/sq mi). Daobac's {{wp|exclusive economic zone}} (EEZ) extends 200 {{wp|nautical miles}} from the island's coast and is approximately xxx,xxx km<sup>2</sup> (xxx,xxx sq mi) providing it with abundant fishing grounds. Daobac has three official languages ({{wp|Vietnamese language|Daoan}}, {{wp|Malagasy language|Nylele}} and {{wpl|Sundanese|Raji}}) and recognizes four regional languages ({{wp|Marshallese language|Kajeran}}, {{wpl|Japanese language|Tsurushiman}} and {{wp|Gilbertese language|Rilik}}). Daoan is the {{wp|lingua franca}} of the country and is used in public services, business, media, education & commerce. However, most Daoans are proficient in at least one other languages: either {{wp|Malagasy language|Nylele}} or {{wp|Gilbertese language|Rilik}}. The nation's {{wp|national curriculum}} states that students enrolled in Daoan schools, both public and private, must be proficient in Daoan and a second language of their choice. As a result, education institutions generally offer both Nylele and Rilik as second language options to their students. Both Nylele and Raji were chosen as both were commonly used throughout the Ozerosi nations as a common tongue in both day-to-day social, political and mercantile/commercial exchanges. The country's ethnic diversity has prompted the government to promote a sense of {{wp|civic nationalism}}, expanding the definition of the Daoan identity to include not only ethnic Daoans, but also its other ethnic groups who permanently reside in Daobac.

Throughout the classical age tribes from the [[Ajax|Malaio]] and [[Ajax|Ochran]] continents sent explorers to both discover new fishing grounds and establishment settlements throughout the [[Kayatman archipelago]]. The islands of Bautroi and Dammay were two among the many islands that were settled by these tribal explorers. The islands of Bautroi and Dammay are considered as the cradle of Daoan culture & civilization and over the centuries these settlements developed their own unique cultural identities. Tribes on both islands were hunter-gatherer societies in nature and relied primarily upon the sea for nourishment, transforming them into a sea-faring society. Ships from both islands regularly raided and pillaged other tribes throughout the archipelago and the nearby Ochran mainland. Daobac first rose as a identifiable {{wp|polity}} at the dawn of the 3rd century in the year 200 when the first [[Daoan Conclave]] was established as an alliance Daoan Pirates. It is considered by modern historians as among the first {{wp|quasi-state|proto-state}} in the region. In the 10th century the Conclave would come into conflict with the expanding [[Tahamaja Empire]] and would be incorporated by the Malaioan maritime empire in the 11th century. The [[Siriwang Eruption|eruption of Mount Siriwangi]] in 1353 ended Tahamajan hegemony over the region and its former territories, including the Daoans, regained their independence. This however brought the Daoans into conflict with the Kajerans throughout the 14th and 16th centuries who, under [[Laina Tiimaja]], sought to unify the Kayatman archipelago under her rule. The Daoans would ultimately lose and became incorporated under a Kajeran proto-state. The Daoans would finally gain their independence in 1845 from Kajera in a general referendum after series of political & social upheavals rocked the islands of Bautroi and Dammay. 

In the contemporary era, Daobac is a {{wpl|Unitary state}} with a democratically elected {{wp|Presidential system|president & legislature}}. The XXX party however has become the {{wpl|Dominant-party system|dominant-party}} in Congress, the legislative body of Daobac, since its independence from Kajera. It is a founding member of the [[Association of Ozeros Nations]] and maintains close diplomatic relations with its members. The [[Daobac Self-Defense Forces]] (DSDF) is the unified armed forces organization of the country, though has a small number of active personnel, is maintained by a significant military budget which allows the armed forces to procure advancedh ardware. Although in its early years Daobac remained as a poor and largely agricultural country, the nation was able to rapidly industrialize and transform its economy through its adoption of a {{wp|free market}} economy. The Daoan government was able to effectively integrate itself into both the regional and global economies through a series of evolutions & transitions in its economic sectors. The country maintains policies of minimal {{wp|trade barriers}} and {{wp|tariffs}}, an {{wp|export-oriented industrialization}}, and management of accumulated funds from various {{wp|foreign direct investment}}. Daobac's economy is dominated by the services industry and is well known for exporting key technologies in the fields of {{wp|environmental engineering|environmental}}, {{wp|chemical engineering|chemical}} and {{wp|aerospace engineering|aerospace}} engineering. The [[Daobac Space Corporation]], a for-profit {{wp|state-owned enterprise|state owned company}}, is the premier commercial {{wp|launch service provider}} of the [[Association of Ozeros Nations]]. Various {{wp|investment banking|investment}} and {{wp|venture capital}} firms comprise the bulk of the nation's financial service sector. It has the 12th largest GDP per capita in the [[Ajax|world]] and its citizens enjoy high standards of living such as: easy access to affordable {{wp|education}} and {{wp|healthcare}} services, subsidized and livable {{wp|public housing}} as well as {{wp|infrastructure|public facilities}}. The country ranks highly in quality of life, civil liberties and {{wp|economic freedom}}. In spite of these highlights the Daoan law is infamously known to be {{wp|draconian}} in nature. {{wp|Freedom of assembly|Rights to assembly}} and the ability to critique the government are severely curtailed resulting in low levels of {{wp|political freedom}} in the country. 
== Ethymology ==
== History ==
=== Early History ===
The earliest evidence of human settlement on the islands of Bautroi and Dammay came from fossilized remains of {{wp|archaic humans|primitive humans}} that dates back to two million years ago. These ancestors of {{wp|homo sapien|modern humans}} thrived on the islands of Bautroi and Dammay and formed small social groups centered around small groups of between 20 - 40 individuals. Fossil records show that these primitive human societies survived until they became extinct around 105,000 - 100,000 years ago. Modern humans eventually arrived and settled the islands in 5,000 years ago. Tribes from the [[Ajax|Malaio]] and [[Ajax|Ochran]] mainlands sent explorers to migrate and establish settlements throughout the Kayatman archipelago. This period of migration and  settlement occurred throughout the years 4,000 - 3,000 BC, with most settlements being confined to their individual islands. These settlers formed various {{wp|hunter-gatherer}} tribes throughout the islands and although initially reliant on foraging on the islands to find food, the tribes quickly learned that the seas were abundant with resources. The tribes quickly took the seas in search of food, and when they made contact with other tribes throughout the archipelago, pillaged and raided their neighboring tribes for resources and slaves. Until the 10th century the Kayatman archipelago became infamously associated as a place of runaway piracy where various tribes regularly attacked explorers and other merchant vessels that passed through the archipelago. A distinctly Daoan {{wp|polity}} came to existence with the establishment of the [[Daoan Conclave]] in 200 CE. Ancient records from this period of time show that the Conclave was an alliance between Pirate Lords on the islands of Dammay and Bautroi. The alliance was made due to the shared cultural background between the two islands and their common embracement of the raiding and pillaging way of life. Though ancient records from this period of time states that the Conclave was simply an alliance, Modern historians generally agree that the Conclave was organized and operated as a {{wp|quasi-state|proto state}}, taking the form of a confederation between the Doaan Pirate Lords. The Daoan Conclave was able to exert its influence over a substantial number of islands in the Kayatman archipelago throughout and was regarded as a major power in the region throughout the 3rd and 10th centuries. 

=== Tahamajan & Kajeran Rule ===
The Daoan polity would eventually come into contact with the [[Tahamajan Empire]] in the 10th century which led to a century long guerilla conflict when Daoan raiders, now turned pirates, ambushed and harassed [[Tahamaja Empire|Tahamajan]] vessels and settlements. The Daoan Pirates however were unable to sustain their guerilla tactics indefinitely, as the Tahamajan had greater resources to replace the vessels and manpower they lost compared to the Daoan Pirates. By the 11th century the Daoan Conclave agreed to be incorporated into the Tahamajan Empire, in exchange the Daoan Pirate Lords were granted {{wp|Letters of marque|commissions}} from the Tahamajans. The commissions made the Daoans privateers under the Tahamajans which permitted them to continue their raiding and pillaging way of life against non-Tahamajan vessels and settlements as well as protecting the Kayatman sea from incurssions.
=== Independence ===
Lacking significant natural resources, the early years of the nascent Daoan nation lagged behind economically, technologically and socially behind its more modern neighbors. The [[Hanaki War]] of 1927 saw the rise of a neo-Tahamajan movement at [[Pulau Keramat]] resulted in Daobac being drawn into the conflict and its partial occupation by [[Pulau Keramat]]. The end of the war resulted in the defeat of Mzanzi and neo-Tahamajan elements in Pulau Keramat. Daobac's economic recovery was centered in transforming the island nation into a hub of fishery and mining activity of the Ozerosi-Karaihe seas. Funds sourced from, among other things, war reparations by the Neo-Tahamajan polity allowed the Daoan government to initiate various social programs. Among them were: livable and affordable public housing projects for the Daoan population. The Daoan government invited Ozerosi and Karaihe nations to invest in Daobac's fishery & mining sectors, with various deregulation acts passed to incentivize foreign investment in the country.

== Government & Politics ==
Daobac is a republic with democratically elected president and legislature and is structured as a {{wp|unitary state}} without the establishment of large subnational units such as {{wp|province|provinces}} or {{wp|federated state|states}}. However for administrative purposes the country is subdivided into XX {{wp|district|districts}}. The [[Constitution of Daobac|constitution of Daobac]] outlines the President of Daobac as both the {{wp|head of government}} and {{wp|head of state}}. The [[Congress of Daobac]] is the nation's {{wp|unicaeramlism|unicameral}} supreme {{wp|legislature|legislative body}}. Both the President & Congress are directly elected by all citizens above the age of 18 in a General Election once every five years. While no term limits are applied to members of Congress, the President may only serve a maximum of two terms. The [[High Court of Daobac]] is the nation's highest court of deliberation, whose judges are nominated by the President and approved by Congress. Daobac has been able to maintain a stable {{wp|liberal democracy|democratic}} political system since 19XX with {{wp|universal suffrage}} granted to all citizens at the age of 17 and above. Politics in Daobac is dominated by the [[Progress & Prosperity Party]] (PPP) who has been in power since 19XX. The PPP has been accused of implementing various electoral reforms throughout the decades, many of which are considered as {{wp|gerrymandering}} measures as it raises the bar for opposition parties to enter elections. While the PPP has acknowledged that the election laws it passed has benefited the PPP greatly, the PPP continues to deny allegations of gerrymandering. Instead, the PPP continues to argue that the reforms it did was in order to increase minority representation in Congress. In spite of these allegations and severe curtailing of opposition voices, elections in Daobac are still widely considered free from electoral fraud.
