| '''Ankahira''', also known as the '''People's Republic of Ankahira''' ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahiran}}: ''Repoblika Vahoaka ao Ankahira''), is a {{wp|sovereignty|sovereign}} {{wp|Island country|island nation}} located in the [[Banfura Sea]] of the [[Vehemens Ocean]] approximately SOMENUMBER of kilometers off of the continent of [[Coius]]. It nautically borders [[Estmere]] via [[Kingsport]] to the northeast, [[Gaullica]] via [[Nouvel Angelet]] to the southeast, [[Nasana]], [[Rwizikuru]], and [[LOREM]] to the northwest, and [[LOREM]] to the south. The nation is estimated to have a population of roughly 12,859,986 citizens with its capital residing in the city of [[Maintinana (city)|Maintinana]], which serves as its {{wp|Singapore|capital}} city, a {{wp|Administrative_divisions_of_China#Provincial_level_(1st)|province-level city}}, and a major political, social, and economic hub.
| |
|
| |
| Human settlement on the islands has occurred ever since roughly 327 BCE, with settlements initially being founded by {{wp|Austronesian people|Sublustrian}} sea-faring tribes. Though significant mixing between Bantu and Sublustrian peoples did occur, later arrivals of {{wp|Bantu people|Bantu}} migrant tribesmen was largely resisted, preserving the {{wp|Malagasy people|Ankahi people}} as a distinct ethnic and linguistic group from the rest of Bahia. The region unified under the [[Kingdom of Sambanara]], which lasted from 1389 to 18XX. The region was first discovered by [[Estmere|Estmerish]] explorers in SOMETIME, with the [[House of Solofonantenaina|Sambanaran monarchy]] granting increasing concessions in exchange for industrial, educational, and infrastructural development in the islands. The region was a ''de-facto'' colonial possession of Estmere, with the Sambanaran monarchy having been slowly reduced to a ceremonial role, by the mid 18XXs. The region was fully subsumed into [[colonial Estmere]] in 19XX. The region fought with [[Estmere]] on the side of the [[Great War (Kylaris)#Grand_Alliance|Grand Alliance]] during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] seeing moderate fighting during the conflict, with both Estmerish and Ankahi-Estmerish forces skirmishing with [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] forces numerous times.

|
| |
| Increasing education, population, industrialization, independent printing publications, and the growth of urban areas in Ankahira, combined with a growing awareness of {{wp|African socialism|Bahian equalism}}, {{wp|statism|statist}}, {{wp|pan-Africanism|pan-Bahian nationalism}}, and {{wp|republicanism|republican}} ideals, in the wake of the Great War led to the foundation of the [[Ankahiran National Association]] ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahiran}}: ''Fikambanam-pirenena Ankahiran''; ''FPA''). The organization, the predecessor to the modern-era [[Ankahiran National Party]] ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahiran}}: ''Antoko Nasionaly Ankahiran''; ''ANA''), began a campaign of non-violent protest known as the [[War of Words (Ankahira)|War of Words]] which negotiated {{wp|self-rule}} and a relatively independent political sphere by 1950. The Ankahiran National Party, then under the country's first {{wp|Malagasy people|Ankahi}} {{wp|head of state}} and {{wp|head of government|government}} -- {{wp|Muhammad Ali|Auguste Mamitiana}}, began implementing and promoting pan-Bahian socialist policies, though it maintained cordial relations with Estmere by maintaining many core Estmerish commercial interests. The region saw stable economic growth from 1955 on through the modern era, being under the rule of [[President of the People's Republic of Ankahira|President]] {{wp|Paul Biya|Gabriel Razafinjato}} of the Ankahiran National Party since the country's inaugural elections in 1989.

| Ankahira is a {{wp|Unitary system|unitary}} {{wp|dominant-party system|dominant-party}} {{wp|parliamentary system|parliamentary}} {{wp|constitution|constitutional}} {{wp|republic}} comprised of SOMENUMBEROF provinces. The economy is almost entirely dominated by the manufacturing and shipping of goods, with most economic activity by percentage occurring in the sectors of {{wp|shipping}}, {{wp|industrialization|industry}} and {{wp|finance}}, though there is still significant specialized agricultural market within the country. Its primary industries are {{wp|financial services}}, {{wp|industrial manufacturing}}, {{wp|shipping}}, and {{wp|telecommunications|telecoms}}. Ankahira is a member of the [[Community of Nations]], the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]], and SOMEOTHERORGANIZATIONS.

| The region was, like the neighboring [[Rwizikuru|Colony of Rwizikuru]] isolated and surrounded by [[Fascist Gaullica|Gaullican forces]]. As a result, in consultation with the [[House of Solofonantenaina|Ankahi monarch]] [[Andrianavalona III]], the region was placed under {{wp|martial law}} and governed directly from [[Ashcombe]] with [[Head of state of the People's Republic of Ankahira#Governor-General]] [[Nathaniel Berkeley]] serving as the military governor of the region for the duration of the conflict.

| [[File:Biya behind podium.jpg|300px|thumb|left|[[President of the People's Republic of Ankahira|President]] [[Gabriel Razafinjato]] giving his inaugural address, 1990.]]
| |
| On midnight of 1 January 1990, [[Estmere]] officially granted Ankahira its independence, as agreed to in the [[Maintinana Accords]], and power was transferred to Ankahiran political authorities with an official [[Handover of Ankahira|ceremony]]. [[Gabriel Razafinjato]] was inaugurated at noon of that day, with now-former [[President of the People's Republic of Ankara#Governor-General|Governor-General]] [[Ezra Lloyd-Sutherland|Lloyd-Sutherland]] departing [[Maintinana (city)|Maintinana]] for [[Ashcombe]] shortly thereafter. In his inaugural speech, President Razafinjato thanked Estmere for "doing much to ensure our nation be placed on the path of modernity" and pledged to "represent all Ankahirans, both [[Euclea|foreign]][[Coius|-born]] and native born, and to do well by all by continuing the blessed peace and development we have enjoyed thus far."
| |
|
| |
| Per the [[1989 Ankahiran inaugural election|1989 elections]], the [[Ankahiran National Party|Antoko Nasionaly Ankahiran]] was granted a three-fourths majority within the legislature, now known as the [[General People's Congress (Ankahira)|General People's Congress]] ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahi}}: ''Ankapobeny Kongresim-bahoaka''; ''AKb''). The ANA-dominated AKb then convened and elected [[Theodore Raharinaivo|Théodore Raharinaivo]] as the first [[Premier of the People's Republic of Ankahira|Premier]], who was subsequently approved by President Razafinjato.
| |
|
| |
| Razafinjato, along with Raharinavio, quickly set about reorganizing the government from the federal system established under Estmere into a unitary system in order to "maintain the systems of power established by [[Auguste Mamitiana|Comrade Mamitiana]]. Known as [[Ny fandaminana indray Fe-potoana|the Reorganization Period]] ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahi}}: ''Ny fandaminana indray Fe-potoana'') the various councils of the region saw themselves stripped of their power to govern locally and began to send representatives to Maintinana to serve within the [[General People's Congress#Congress of the Elders|Congress of the Elders]]. In addition to this the government quietly established a quasi-secret police known as the [[National Security Services (Ankahira)|Matoatoa]] and passed multiple [[National Security Acts of 1990|pieces of legislation]] restricting racial violence and allowing government surveillance in order to "maintain the security and balance of the nation." The changes in governance, while overall popular given the accomplishments of the ANA, saw some resistance by local leaders as well as the opposition [[Democratic Union Party (Ankahira)| Democratic Union Party]] ({{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahi}}: ''Antoko Sendika Demokratika''; ''ASD'') in the form of the [[1990 Ankahiran protests]], which were quietly repressed by the [[Ankahiran National Army|security forces]] along with the Matoatoa that same year.
| |
|
| |
| In addition, the government expanded many of the [[Mamitianaism|Mamitianaist]] {{wp|African socialism|Bahian equalist}} policies implemented during self-rule by focusing on developing rural areas and linking them to the central government, further expanded the welfare and healthcare systems to all citizens, saw the creation of a job guarantee program, developed many new public works projects, made the {{wp|Malagasy language|Ankahi language}} the co-official language of the nation, and increased funding for education.
| |
|
| |
| The period following independence also saw intense integration of Ankara into regional and international affairs, with the region signing many {{wp|Entrepôt}} trade pacts and agreements with foreign countries, most notably [[Estmere]], [[LOREM]] and [[LOREM]].
| |
|
| |
| The 1995 elections within the country saw the return of the ANA to its position of power within the government, once again retaining its three-fourths majority within the Parliament. Following these elections, President Razafinjato declared that he and his party had a "mandate from the people" to continue his policies. Diverging somewhat from the policies of [[Mamitianaism]], the nation also pursued a unique foreign policy, positioning itself as "the link between [[Euclea]] and the rest of [[Coius]]" and securing trade, finance, and manufacturing deals from both sides of the political spectrum. These policies, a form of {{wp|Socialist market economy|equalist market economics}} now known as [[Mamitianaism-Razafinjatoism]], saw many Ankahirans benefit economically.
| |
|
| |
| Subsequent elections in 2000 saw the ANA continue to maintain its grip on power, the installation of [[Masoandro Rakotoniaina]] as Premier following the decision of [[Theodore Raharinaivo|Théodore Raharinaivo]] to decline the position, and saw a deepening of the government's direction on [[Mamitianaism-Razafinjatoism]], with its policies being continued into the new millennium.
