History

The Amarian Combine was founded by its current members (Umetuč, Alftheimn and Aucuses) in 2405 afther the decision to extend the functions of the already existing Amarainist Economic Block (established the year before). The Amarianist Constitution was signed by the heads of the three states in Tålakjemeqa in Jenuary of 2405, thus officially establishing the Combine as a political and economic entity.

Geography

The Amarian Combine is situated in the Equatorial belt and, therefore, experiences a relatively hot temperature all year round. The southern coast and islands on the Combine are engulfed in a dense rainforest and other tropical forests, while the western coast on the continent of Kitkras is covered in a sandy desert where temperatures can get concenringly high. The Combine's land includes several mounains and higlands, as well as open planes and valleys. The most notable geographical reliefs are the Čytmekjem mountain range in Umetuč and the Everlasting Blaze Platou in Aucuses and Alftheimn. The only river inside Amarian territory is the B̨obočim River in north-western Umetuč. The Amarian Combine is historically split between two regions: the Tumetuč Islands and Midseashire.

Politics and government

The Amarian Combine is a federative parlamentary authoritarian republic composed of the nations of Umetuč, Alftheimn and Aucuses. The Combine is directly governed by the Umetučite President, who assumes the title of Head Coordinator, and ministers from all member states. Combine's authority regards national defense, economic affairs, foreign politics and education. The Combine has the capability to make directives regarding areas under its control that must be followed by member states. The three members, however, have the possibility to self governate and enforce state laws as long as they do not conflict with Combine directives.

Military

Each member of the Combine has a separate army (considered "departments" of the Amaraian Armed Forces) that can be used for state specific endevours. However, the individual armies are organized and administrated by Amarian officers who also command and lead the troops in times of war. Singualr aramies can be called by the Amarain administration at any point and must cease any other activity they were occupied in to respond to the Combine's call. To limit abuse of this ability, tha Combine can only summon armies in times of war or national emergencies. A similar system is used for the Amarian Navy.

Foreign relations

In 2408, The Amarian combine is a member state of the Transnational Assembly (formerly known as the South Sea Bottling Group) and a member of the International Fueling Treaty since 2407. The Amarian combine has close economic and ideological connections with its IF comrades, especially Geranhul-ya, Basar and Tarrgein while also maintaining economic relations with its TA allies, such as Morich, Kanbon and Saxet-Monteri which, in 2407, lended a substantial amount of military equipment to the Combine to use in the M.I.L.F. War. Overall, the Combine alligns itself more towards the interests of its IF associates, creating some tensions with its former allies. Alegedly, the Combine is thought to have aided M.I.L.F. and other terroristic organizations in several attacks on TA member states like the Syrovohan Confederacy.

Demographics

The Amarian Combine is home to several ethnic groups. One of the major factors keeping them together is the Amarianist religion, fractured in several sects. The Majority of these groups inhabit the Umetuč isalnds while the kitkrasian mainland is mostly evenly split between Alftheimnish and Aucuseans with small kironian and geran populations.

Tarahanist Religions

Church of Origin

Has the oldest established ecclesiastical body among Tarahanic religions in Midseashire. They believe in the Goddess of Nature and Fertility, the Matriarchal Empress of Creation ー Bethella. Bethella was originally the queen of the earth and mother of giants in early North Midseashirean folklore, but later became part of the greater Tarahanic canons and was eventually transformed into a major figure due to some sequences of historical events. Today Bethella is known as the "White One" that served the Supreme Creator, the Oldest One.

Church of Everlasting Blaze

The second oldest among the major Tarahanic churches of today. They believe in the Sovereign of Law and Order, the Embodiment of Fire and Light ー Eincuses. Everlasting Blaze seemed to be the most prominent across history, taking part in the establishment of almost all major historical powers across different Midseashirean civilizations. Although its conceptualization and how it came to be associated with Tarahanism is still beneath the fogs of history, its sacred scriptures, the Searing Slate, correlate Eincuses to the "Golden One" that served the Supreme Creator.

Church of the Storms

Came into fruition around the same time as Everlasting Blaze, the Storms was fairly limited into the coastal and riverine regions until around 527PL when the first Midseashirean regional union was formed. They believe in the Chasm of Storm and Calamities, the Tyrant of Blood and Seas ー Arromedeas. Unlike the first two, the Storms were a mixture of local folklore and foreign elements from the neighboring Kitkrasian regions, mostly brought in by tradesmen, seafarers and vagrants. Stemmed from numerous deities that surround the domain of calamities, water and war, the greater Tarahanic canons eventually added him as the collective representation of those authorities. He is believed to be the "Azure One" that served the Supreme Creator.

Church of Eternal Darkness

The youngest among all the Tarahanic Midseashirean churches, it was once an unorthodox belief with the same status as the Church of the Fallen and is found only in the Amarian Archipelago. They believe in the Sovereign of Dreams and Cosmos, the Great Architect of the Spirit World ー Amaria. Quietly they grew into power and eventually near rivaling the influence of the Orthodox Churches. Ultimately due to some sequences of historical events, they were recognized and eventually incorporated into the greater Tarahanic canons. The Amarian Arcanum states that "He" is the "Crimson One" in the myth of creation that served the Supreme Creator.

Church of the Insane One

A controversial figure in the Tarahanic canon is The Insane One. He is not mentioned in the creation myth like all the other major terahanic figures and is technically not accepted by the orthodox sects. The Insane One is common in minor myths and prayers that were popular among sailors and is always depicted as a horned snake, grumply slithering in the shadows of the other dieties. He is said to represent the will and aspiration to power, a creature always plotting its rise to power at the expense of its superiors, who he sees as oppressors and undeserving of the power they possess. Its known in the myths as the "Arcane One", supreme master of artifice and adaptability, capable of, according to the most popular myth, "building himself a pair of legs out of sticks and mud to escape the fury of its oppressors". Followers of The Insane One value intelligence and creativity as a tool to achieve one's goals and, consequentially, cultivate an almost fanatical cult for technology and machines.
