Orientia, officially known as the Oriental Oceanic Republic (Japanese: 東洋海洋国; /toːhoː taioːko̞kɯ/), or simply The Republic, is a transcontinental, transoceanic federal republic located in the Pacific Ocean. Spanning from the continent of Asia through Oceania to the Americas, it covers an expansive area of 287 million square kilometers (110 million square miles), making it the second or third largest country in the world by total land area. With an estimated population of nearly 688 million people, Orientia is the second most populous country globally. The national capital is Tokyo, and the largest cities include Hoozdo, Lima, Tenochtitlan, and Melbourne. It shares borders with Amenria to the west and south, the Arctic Sea to the north, and the Texas Republic to the east.

Orientia emerged from the Pacific states of Amenria. Disputes over sociopolitical matters with Amenria eventually led to the War of Dusk and Dawn, resulting in Orientia declaring independence on July 17, 2043. Since its founding, Orientia has evolved into a federal republic granting considerable autonomy to its territories, distinguishing itself as the sole republican state on Earth. Serving as a transcontinental and transoceanic nation, Orientia attracts a diverse array of ethnicities, including Polynesians, Altais, Anglicans, Hispanics, and Americans. Notably, Orientia stands as the only non-theocratic country with the second-highest concentration of Awakened humans.

The region encompassed by modern-day Orientia holds a historical importance, as one of the oldest inhabited areas on Earth and home to ancient civilizations. The Chinese civilization flourished here, being one of the earliest cradles of civilization. Other ancient civilizations that persist to this day include the Polynesian and Native American civilizations. While several independent polities once existed in the eastern region, they gradually merged with neighboring civilizations over time. China, Russia, and the United States emerged as dominant civilizations in the region before the outbreak of the Third World War.

As a highly developed nation, Orientia boasts a substantial portion of the global gross domestic product (GDP) and holds the title of one of the world's largest economy by nominal GDP. The country excels in various sectors, particularly automobile and technology manufacturing, alongside a thriving service sector and mining industry. Arguably, Orientia ranks highest on the Human Development Index among all nations, with commendable performance in areas such as healthcare, education, and overall quality of life.

Recognized as a WMD state, Orientia maintains the world's eighth-largest standing army in terms of military personnel and holds the status of the third most powerful nation, thanks to its abundant reserves of Eternium and Celestium. Consequently, its defense system ranks highly advanced, comparable to that of Amenria. Orientia's robust economy, innovation, military strength, and influence in international affairs contribute to its status as a major global power. As the largest spiritual nation and home to the highest concentration of awakeneds worldwide (accounting for 2% of its population), Orientia leads in awakened education and possesses a significant number of awakened guilds.

Etymology

The name for Orientia in Japanese is 東洋海洋国 (pronounced Tōyō Kaiyōkoku), which translates to "Eastern Oceanic Republic." However, it is often abbreviated as 東国 (Tōkoku) or 東海 (Tōkai). The characters 東洋 mean "eastern" or "place where the sun rises," while 海洋 means "oceanic" or "crossing oceans." 東国 (Tōkoku) is typically used as an adjective to refer to the country. Prior to the adoption of 東国 in 2043, the pre-Orientia countries used various names to identify themselves. For example, Taiwan derived its ethnonym from "Tayowan," which was the name used by the indigenous Siraya people. In Chinese, Taiwan is written as 台湾, which literally means "beautiful terrace." Japan is derived from the exonym "Nippon" or 日本, meaning "the sun's origin." Russia is known as Россия, meaning "country of Rus," where Rus refers to a group of eastern Slavic people. Australia is derived from the Latin term "terra australis," while New Zealand comes from the Dutch term "nieuw zeeland," meaning "new sealand."

In the English language, Orientia is the name used to refer to the country, which is a combination of the word "orient," meaning "east," and the suffix "-ia," meaning "land." The term "orient" originated from Middle English and was borrowed from Old French. Its etymon is the Latin word oriēns, meaning "the east," "daybreak," "dawn," "sunrise," "rising," "appearing," or "originating."

In English, a citizen of Orientia is commonly referred to as an "Oriental." The term "Oriental" can also be used adjectivally to describe the country, such as in phrases like "Oriental values" or "Oriental forces."

History

Lemurian Era

The pacific ocean of what is now part of Ascion's territory, was the site of the lost continent "Lemuria". The continent was heavily contested by many kingdoms ruled Jinns, each competing over for resources. The unending war resulted in the destruction of the continent, rendering it inhabitable. God would later sunk the continent deep into earth's crust, and transformed the Jinns into a supernatural being of energy that cannot be touched, felt, or heard unless through a medium or accumulate a massive energy enough to merely appear.

Antiquity

Antiquity age of East Asia, Far East Russia, the Americas (North to South), and Polynesia witnessed the emergence of various civilizations and significant historical events.

In Japan, ancient civilization can be traced back to the Paleolithic era, with cultural developments during the Yayoi period (300 BCE - 300 CE). This period marked the introduction of rice cultivation, metalworking, and the establishment of organized agricultural communities. Buddhism from China had a profound impact on Japanese society during the 6th century CE. While Taiwan, known for its indigenous tribes, particularly Austronesian tribes (which, would expand throughout the pacific and gave birth to Polynesian tribes) saw interactions with neighboring regions. The island's history is characterized by indigenous influences. The indigenous Siraya people used the name Tayowan, meaning "beautiful terrace."

North Asia, particularly Siberia, hosted diverse indigenous cultures and tribes such as Buryats, Evenkis, and many more. Ancient civilizations like the Scythians (8th to 3rd century BCE) and Xiongnu (3rd century BCE to 1st century CE) left their mark. These societies adapted to the harsh environments through hunting, fishing, reindeer herding, and nomadic herding.

While in The Americas, people crossed from Siberia through the frozen Bering strait during Ice Age, where they eventually settled throughout the newly found continent, showcased a rich tapestry of civilizations. In North America, Native American cultures flourished, including the Ancestral Puebloans (from approximately 1200 BCE) in the southwestern region, known for their elaborate cliff dwellings and pottery traditions. The Mississippian cultures (9th to 16th century CE) created impressive earthworks and established complex social structures. The Iroquois Confederacy, formed around the 15th century CE, brought together multiple tribes in a political alliance. In Mesoamerica, encompassing regions of present-day Mexico and Central America, witnessed the rise of renowned civilizations. The Olmec civilization (1200 to 400 BCE) developed a sophisticated society with monumental stone heads and influential cultural practices. The Maya civilization (from approximately 2000 BCE) thrived with advanced writing systems, intricate city-states, and astronomical knowledge. Meanwhile, South America was the place for remarkable civilizations such as the Norte Chico civilization (around 3000 BCE) in present-day Peru, known for its impressive urban planning and monumental architecture.

Polynesia encompassing numerous islands in the Pacific Ocean, witnessed exploration and settlement by Austronesian people, who eventually was known as Polynesians later. These seafaring communities, including the Maori in New Zealand, Hawaiians, and indigenous peoples of Samoa and Tonga, developed navigational expertise, cultural traditions, and distinctive art forms. Monumental structures like the moai statues on Easter Island stand as testament to their achievements.

Medieval and Renaissance Era

The Japanese medieval period is often referred to as the "Feudal Era." It began in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century. During this time, the samurai class rose to prominence, and the country was politically divided into numerous feudal domains. The Kamakura Shogunate (1185-1333) and the subsequent Ashikaga Shogunate (1336-1573) exerted control over Japan, with periods of political instability and internal conflicts. Zen Buddhism gained popularity among the ruling class, influencing art, culture, and philosophy.

While in Taiwan, its medieval history was shaped by various powers seeking control over the island. In the 16th century, European explorers, such as the Portuguese and Spanish, arrived in Taiwan. The island became a crucial trading post and witnessed conflicts between indigenous peoples and European colonizers. In the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company established a colonial presence, followed by the arrival of the Chinese Ming loyalists and eventual Qing Dynasty rule.

North Asia experienced the expansion of the Russian Empire during the medieval period. Russian explorers and traders ventured into Siberia in the 16th century, establishing trade routes and fortifications. The Russian conquest of Siberia continued through the following centuries, leading to the colonization of vast territories and interactions with indigenous Siberian peoples.

The medieval Americas saw the flourishing of powerful civilizations. In Mesoamerica, the Aztec Empire reached its height during the 14th to 16th centuries. The empire's capital, Tenochtitlan, became a magnificent city with grand temples and a sophisticated political system. In the Andean region, the Inca Empire continued to thrive, expanding its territory and constructing impressive architectural marvels, such as the citadel of Machu Picchu.

North America during the medieval era was characterized by the continued presence of diverse Native American cultures. The Mississippian cultures declined, but other indigenous groups, such as the Hopewell and the Ancestral Puebloans, maintained their cultural traditions and built impressive settlements and ceremonial sites. European explorers, including Christopher Columbus, made their way to the Americas, marking the beginning of the European colonization and the subsequent impact on indigenous societies.

Between the 10th and 14th centuries, Polynesian navigators embarked on expansive voyages, settling distant islands across the vast Pacific Ocean. These remarkable journeys, known as the Polynesian Expansion, led to the colonization of Hawaii (around 1000 AD), New Zealand (around 1280 AD), and other remote islands. Polynesian societies thrived, maintaining intricate social structures, linguistic diversity, and artistic traditions.

Extraterrestrial Relations

Main article: Amenria § Early relations with Hurites and Nodics

It was also during the medieval period, several Hurite individuals in New Eden broke their non-interventionist clause and interacted with humans. Many Hurites came to Earth and engaged with East Asians, most notably Chang'E, who met a human named Houyi in China (now part of Amenria) and bestowed upon him the Elixir; and Kaguya, who was sent to Earth as a baby, hidden inside a bamboo. She was found and raised by a human couple in Japan. As she reached adulthood, the Emperor of Japan at that time was captivated by her beauty and made contact with her. The Emperor exchanged letters and insisted on marrying her, while Kaguya refused over fears of the danger a human-Hurite hybrid would pose to the young planet. She stated and announced that she's not from Earth and would soon return to her home planet. However, the Emperor persistently pursued Kaguya, even going as far as chasing her when she was escorted by her biological parents to the Hurite moon station. The early contact between Hurites and humans would later lead to Mugen's transformation.

Modern Era

At the turn of the 20th century, the region experienced profound changes. Japan emerged as a dominant power following its victory in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), establishing itself as a major player in East Asia. Japan's rapid industrialization and modernization efforts propelled it into a position of influence and expanded its colonial empire, acquiring territories such as Korea and parts of China.

In North Asia, several countries experienced notable developments. The Russian Empire underwent a major revolution in 1917, leading to the establishment of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union emerged as a superpower, exerting significant influence across the region. It played a crucial role in World War II, and its geopolitical rivalry with the United States shaped global politics during the Cold War. Soviet Union fell in 1991, and was repalced by the Russian Federation until 2040.

China went through a series of significant changes in the 20th century. The fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1911 marked the end of imperial rule, leading to the establishment of the Republic of China. However, political instability and internal conflicts plagued the country. The rise of the Communist Party under Mao Zedong culminated in the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, which transformed China into a socialist state and a major global power.

Meanwhile, Japan emerged as a major player in the early 20th century. The Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century led to Japan's rapid modernization and industrialization. Japan's expansionist policies in the first half of the 20th century, including its involvement in World War II, brought significant changes to the region. However, Japan's defeat in 1945 led to its occupation by Allied forces and subsequent democratization. Japan rebuilt its economy and became one of the world's leading technological and economic powers.

South Korea and Taiwan also experienced remarkable growth during the modern era. Both countries transformed from agrarian economies into industrial powerhouses, known for their high-tech industries and global export dominance. They emerged as key players in the global economy, contributing to the development and advancement of various sectors.

Southeast Asia saw significant changes during the modern era. Many countries in the region gained independence from colonial rule, leading to the establishment of new nations. The Philippines became independent from the United States in 1946, followed by the independence of Indonesia from Dutch colonial rule in 1949.

Vietnam experienced a long and tumultuous period, marked by French colonial rule, the Vietnam War, and the division of the country. The conflict ended in 1975, leading to the reunification of North and South Vietnam under communist rule. Other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, achieved economic growth and stability during this period, attracting foreign investment and becoming important players in regional and global trade.

In the Americas, the United States established itself as a dominant global power during the modern era. It emerged as an influential player in international politics, participating in both World Wars and becoming a leader in the global capitalist system. The United States experienced significant social changes, including the civil rights movement and advancements in technology.

Latin American countries underwent various political and economic transformations. Several countries experienced periods of political instability, dictatorships, and economic challenges. However, countries like Brazil and Mexico emerged as major regional powers, with growing economies and influence in international affairs.

Further south in Oceania, Australia and New Zealand continued to develop as modern nations during the modern era. Australia's population grew, and it became a significant player in the global mining industry. New Zealand experienced economic growth and social reforms, becoming known for its commitment to environmental conservation.

The Pacific Island nations faced challenges associated with their small size and vulnerability to climate change. They sought to assert their cultural identities and address the environmental and economic impacts of globalization.

Global Cataclysm

Main article: Global Cataclysm

The cataclysm is an ongoing event that began in 2030, resulting in the awakening of superhuman abilities in humans. It was triggered by a dimensional rift caused by a massive war in Realm 7, involving elves and an orc faction. The elves escaped to Realm 1 and settled in areas around Siberia and the Arctic, establishing a civilization known as the Hyperborea.

The impact of the cataclysm was far-reaching. It led to the emergence of awakened humans with extraordinary powers, the foundation of the Golden Circle, the outbreak of the Third World War, and the War of Dusk and Dawn. These events reshaped the geopolitical landscape and caused significant upheaval globally.

The public's perception of the cataclysm varied, with some viewing the awakened humans as a source of hope and inspiration, while others harbored fear and uncertainty. The cataclysm brought about a new era of extraordinary abilities, challenging societal norms and raising complex ethical questions.

Independence

The independence of Orientia, a transcontinental and transoceanic country, can be traced back to a significant political conflict that unfolded between Tianshi, the reigning emperor, and Mugen, his trusted aide in the nation of Amenria. The ideological clash between the two individuals, with Tianshi upholding monarchism and Mugen advocating for republican principles, served as the catalyst for a profound transformation in the region.

In the years leading up to the independence movement, Mugen began sowing the seeds of rebellion. It was during the period from 2041 to 2042 that he founded the "Rising Dawn," a faction committed to challenging the prevailing political system within the Pacific states of Amenria. The movement quickly gained traction as Mugen articulated a vision for a more inclusive and democratic society, attracting a diverse range of individuals disillusioned with the existing order.

The rise of the rebellion marked a turning point in the history of Amenria. Mugen's dedication to his cause galvanized support and fostered a sense of hope among the populace. As discontent grew, the calls for change resonated across the nation, igniting a spark of revolution that would ultimately reshape the region's destiny.

The culmination of the rebellion occurred in June 2042 when the rebels launched a daring assault on the capital city, Mutiara. The streets became battlegrounds as Mugen's forces confronted Tianshi's loyalists in a struggle for control and liberation. The conflict escalated, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake, as both sides fought fiercely to assert their vision of the future.

The decisive encounter between Mugen and Tianshi became emblematic of the deep-seated divisions within Amenria. It represented not only a clash of political ideologies but also a clash of personalities and aspirations. The battle showcased the intensity of the struggle and the profound impact it would have on the nation and its people.

However, as the conflict raged on, the devastating toll it exacted on the land and its inhabitants forced both Tianshi and Mugen to confront the dire consequences of their actions. After a month of fierce fighting, a realization dawned upon them: the path to a brighter future necessitated compromise and reconciliation. Acknowledging the futility of the continued conflict, they engaged in negotiations, seeking a resolution that would bring an end to the bloodshed and pave the way for a new era.

In a historic moment of reconciliation, Tianshi and Mugen reached a mutual agreement. This watershed moment gave birth to Orientia, as Mugen's long-held dream of a new nation in the east, liberated from the shackles of the previous regime, became a reality. On July 17, 2042, Orientia officially declared its independence, marking a pivotal moment in the region's history.

The journey towards establishing a stable and prosperous Orientia was fraught with challenges. Rebuilding shattered infrastructure, reconciling disparate factions, and fostering national unity became paramount objectives for the fledgling nation. Yet, despite the trials and tribulations, Orientia demonstrated resilience and a collective determination to chart its own course.

Today, Orientia stands as a testament to the power of ideals and the unwavering spirit of those who strive for change. It spans vast territories across Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, embracing its transcontinental and transoceanic identity. Committed to democratic principles, cultural diversity, and socioeconomic progress, Orientia serves as a beacon of hope and a symbol of unity in an interconnected world.
