Agarntrop is an [[wikipedia:island|island]] and a {{wpl|semi-presidential}} [[wikipedia:republic|republic]] in [[Anteria]].
 
== Etymology ==
 
== Geography ==


== History ==
==Demographics==
=== Kawanakan Discovery===  
===Language===
[[Agarntrop]] was uninhabited until the around the year 250 BC. Around this time, the first records show the existence of a Kawanakan civilisation on the island closely related to the emigration from Southeast [[Catai]] to Agarntrop and [[Ajerrin]] at that time.
===People===
===Religion===
===Family Structure===


Agarn society was virtually indistinguishable from [[Ajerrin|Ajerri]] society at this time and for around the next two millennia: society was composed of various chiefdoms and clans which believed in a heirachal system based on the belief that nobles were descendants of Kawanakan gods and invested with supernatural power. For most of this time, Agarntrop was dominated by the Lahu'i Tai clan.
==Geography==


The barren landscape of much of Agarntrop meant that only a small portion of the eastern coast could be inhabited at this time, so the Ajerri civilisation that existed on the island took up a very small amount of what is modern-day Agarntrop.
[[File:Uprising-mount_kerinci.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mount Karamos, the tallest point on the Agarn island]]


=== Colonisation by Veleaz ===
Agarntrop is an island nation in the continent of [[Thuadia]]. It is located in the Hagalaz Ocean to the south of the Thuadian mainland. The closest country to Agarntrop geographically is [[Elenias]], however it is culturally more closely linked to [[Neuewland]] and [[Prei Meas]]. The island of Agarntrop itself is low-lying and densely populated with a total population of nearly 22 million. Rising sea levels have led to the construction of flood defences and more people moving inland towards Mount Karamos, the highest point on the island at 2134 metres tall. Despite this, Agarntrop is not prone to tsunamis. The majority of Agarntrop's population is located in its urban centres.  
Despite a multitude of efforts to explore and map out the area of modern-day [[Savai]] by [[Asura|Asuran]] explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries, no successful long-term settlements were achieved on the island until the [[Veleaz|Veleazan]] colony of [[Junto]] was built in 1626.


[[Veleaz|Veleazan]] activity continued to expand on the island thereon, and by 1639 half of Agarntrop's coast had been colonised by [[Veleaz]], this colonisation extended to the full coast by 1687, including the more barren north.


During this time, a contraversial event in Agarntrop's history known as [[El Sacrificio]] or the Pō'ino by Kawankanans where [[Veleaz]] enacted a series of colonial policies in the 17th and 18th centuries designed at limiting the rights of and ultimately expelling from the island the Kawankanan population.
===Largest Cities===
====Wagehut====


This resulted in the Kawankanan native population plummeting and eventually being outnumbered by the Veleazans. Policies enacted under [[El Sacraficio]] remained in place until well into the 20th century.
[[File:Moonrise_over_kuala_lumpur.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Wagehut City skyline at night]]


Under Veleazan rule, Agarntrop developed into a federal system. In 1688, the island was divided into two colonies: the sparse and large [[Agarna del Norte]] colony and the small, populated, southern [[Mayor Agarna]] colony. In 1696, a third territory was created from land previously in [[Mayor Agarna]], called [[Agarna del Oeste]]. In 1710, the [[Tierra Naranja]] colony was created from land also previously in [[Mayor Agarna]]. By 1717, [[Mayor Agarna]] had been split into five colonies. This initial federalism was relatively shortlived, however, as in 1756 the entirity of the island was united under the [[Agarn Colony]], a unitary territory of [[Veleaz]].
Established by Neuew colonialists in 1742, the capital city and largest city in Agarntrop is Wagehut. Wagehut has an overall population of 2.3 million, with a metro population of 4.1 million. It is located on the western side of the island, and is the centre of Agarntrop's finance sector. It is home to the Government, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. Since Wagehut experienced an economic boom following the tax cuts of the 1990s, it and the west coast in general has greatly economically outperformed that of the east coast and the centre of the island. Despite this, a great proportion of Wagehut is much less affluent, generally on the south side of the city. This area is home to the vast majority of Wagehut's Aschari community. Wagehut's mayor is [[Heng Sen]], a member of the [[Socialist Party (Agarntrop)|Socialist Party]].


=== Traders' Rebellion ===


It was in the 18th Century that the concept of [[Agarn Nationalism]] first began to emerge with the 'no taxation without representation' movement that sought to exploit [[Veleaz]]'s recent loss of colonies in other parts of the world to either build an independent {{wp|Tax Haven}} on Agarntrop or grant it numerous exclusive features of autonomy that other [[Veleaz|Veleazan]] colonies did not have, such as a legislature. Unsurprisingly, the [[Veleaz|Veleazan]] government refused these demands, resulting in heightened tensions between the Nationalists and Loyalists in Agarntrop.
====Makänder====


These tensions culminated in the 1795 [[Great Arson]], where a riot over taxes that favoured exports to the [[Agarn Colony]] over imports that was arbitrarily imposed by the [[Veleaz|Veleazan]] government snowballed into the arson of several [[Veleaz|Veleazan]] import merchant vessels resulting in the death of hundreds of people and the loss of billions of dollars in today's money.
Makänder is the second largest city in Agarntrop, with an overall population of 900,000 and a metro population of 1.6 million. It is located inland on the northern side of the island, around half way between Mount Karamos and the north coast. Historically a manufacturing hub, Makänder has transformed into a more service-based economy since the 1990s as the manufacturing sector was outsourced to [[Prei Meas]]. Makänder has a large Aschari community, and is less affluent than both Wagehut and Bügens. It has the highest crime rate out of any Agarn city with a population over 100,000, particularly when it comes to issues such as homicide and gun crime. However, violent crime has reduced in recent years. Makänder's mayor is [[Schmidt Alfredson]], a member of the [[Conservative Party (Agarntrop)|Conservative Party]].


Arsons and riots like this continued in ports across the colony, which eventually led to the [[Traders' Rebellion (Agarntrop)|Traders' Rebellion]] starting in 1797, where a nationalist insurrection occured in August that took control of several towns and cities before eventually being put down by the Veleazan army by February 1799.


=== Autonomy ===
====Bügens====


This rebellion eventually led to [[Veleaz]] imposing a more liberal colonial policy on Agarntrop. In 1827, the island was legally allowed its own legislature, tax policy and self-government. This led to the first session of the [[House of Elders]], the colony's legislative chamber, lasting from 1827 until 1839, which was characterised by deadlock and rabble between two furious factions, one which wanted more autonomy and ultimately independence, known as the nationalists, and the other which supported more integration with [[Veleaz]], known as the loyalists.
Bügens is the largest city on the east coast of Agarntrop, and is home to the remnants of Agarntrop's decreasing manufacturing sector. Bügens has an overall population of 700,000 and a metro population of 1.1 million. Bügens is the most affluent city on the east coast of Agarntrop, overcoming the economic stagnation of the area in recent years. Bügens' mayor is [[Hans Beckham]], a member of the [[Socialist Party (Agarntrop)|Socialist Party]].


=== Independence ===
==History==
===First (Ashcari) Inhabitants===
The first inhabitants of the modern Agarn island are estimated to be of Aschari descent, settling from modern day [[Prei Meas]] in the 5th Millenium BCE. These settlers developed nomadic colonies that grew to envelop the whole island during the neolithic era. These settlers, due to their relative isolation on an island, did not initially develop metal tools such as bronze and iron, and thus remained in the early agricultural era for a prolonged period in comparison with the rest of [[Anteria]].


=== Civil War ===
===Development and Trade===
===First Sivuk Contacts===
===Neuew Colonisation===
===Ethnic Replacement===
===19th Century===
===Independence===
===Civil War===
===First Republic===
===Second Republic===
The Second Agarn Republic was formed after the introduction of a new constitution in 1932, that was imposed by President Nikolas Schweirin following his rise to power after the 1927 elections. A civil war veteran and Sivuk ethnonationalist, Schweirin saw the old constitution as being "outdated" and hindering his plans to "reform" the country. After his party - the Grand League of Patriots (GLOP) - won the 1930 legislative elections, Schweirin proposed the new constitution and new system of government to the House of Elders in 1931, which approved the bill. The constitution completely seperated the legislative and executive branches of government, removed or undermined many clauses of the 1913 Rights and Freedoms Amendment, and allowed Schweirin to rule by decree as President for life.


=== Agarn Free State ===
Schweirin continued to increase his grasp on power after the passing of the new constitution. In 1934, he used his executive powers to stack the Constitutional Court with loyal justices, allowing him to continue, amongst other things, the legal segregation of Aschari people from the rest of the Agarn population. Throughout the late 1930s and into the early 1940s, Schweirin used the new constitution to essentially outlaw all legal opposition and construct a one-party dictatorship by the time of his death in February 1947.  
The [[Agarn Free State]] was set out to be a republic headed by a President and with a democratic unicameral legislature, the [[Agarn House of Elders|House of Elders]]. The free state was originally headed by acting President [[Emperor Pedro|Pedro Mariano]] (later known as Emperor Pedro). However, he lost the [[1926 Agarn Free State elections|1926 elections]] to [[Adriano Ap]]. This result was disputed and led to the [[1928 Agarn Coup|1928 coup]] in which Mariano seized power and temporarily suspended the [[1925 Agarn Constitution|Constitution]], however this suspension would eventually become permanent and the [[Agarn Free State]] was replaced with the new [[Agarn Empire]].


=== Agarn Empire ===
Schweirin's successor, Michael Kanstein, continued to impose his predecessor's policies to an even more severe degree. Kanstein ordered the burning of books opposing GLOP ideals in 1948, and terrorised the Aschari community, removing any hope of them achieving equal rights. State-sanctioned attacks on Ashcharis (particularly Kammists) reached their peak during the 1950s. The constitution was amended in 1956 to specifically describe Agarntrop as "a nation of Sivuk heritage and Sjaanist faith," (abolishing the secular state) by order of Kanstein.
[[Emperor Pedro]] permanently abolished the [[Agarn Free State]] in 1932, and replaced it with the [[Agarn Empire]], which was an absolute monarchy that lasted until 1966, and was headed by 3 emperors.


==== Pedro ====
However, these actions soon led to Agarntrop's political isolation in the Sekidean region and resulted in a famine in the late 1950s. The famine led to riots and demonstrations, which the Government found hard to control, particularly in Aschari-majority areas such as the city of Makänder where the Makänder insurgency began in 1957 as Aschari militant groups such as the Campaign for Aschari Action (CAA) began to bomb government buildings in the area and seize control of many districts. By the time Kanstein died in 1961, the Agarn regime was losing the loyalty and patience of the armed forces, law enforcement, and the population.  
[[Emperor Pedro]] was the initial Emperor after the abolition of the [[Agarn Free State]]. He forced through the [[Agarn Imperial Constitution of 1935|imperial constitution]] in 1935, meaning he could stack up the [[Agarn House of Elders|house of elders]] and the [[Agarn Supreme Court|supreme court]] with autocratic loyalists who would essentialy follow his orders. His reign lasted until his death in 1949, and was marked with his extreme brutality and supression, including the use of medieval torture instruments on dissidents.
==== Juan ====
[[Emperor Juan]] was the eldest son of [[Emperor Pedro]]. Juan loosened many of the policies of his father, but still acted in a despotic way. He attempted to open up the poor and isolated nation to world trade, but this caused an internal dispute in Agarntrop and the nation was still seen as a pariah by many. Riots started to become commonplace, and the Agarn people had a growing disatisfaction with the [[Agarn Empire|Empire]] despite the propaganda they had been fed. Juan died in 1961, leaving Agarntrop in a precarious state.
==== Augusto ====
[[Emperor Augusto]] was the second son of [[Emperor Juan]] who became the heir after Juan's eldest son, [[Prince Abascal]], died in a boating accident in 1957. Augusto inherited a country in an extremely dangerous state and was overthrown in the [[1966 Agarn Revolition|1966 coup]].


=== 1966 Coup ===
===Coup D'Etat and 1968 Constitutional Rewrite===
The [[1966 Agarn Revolution]] occured after the military announced they had lost confidence in the Empire and began a {{wpl|coup d'etat|coup}}. They were succesful and deposed [[Emperor Augusto]] who was executed shortly afterwards, and they dissolved the [[Agarn House of Elders|House of Elders]].
===Prei Meas Immigration Crisis===
===Recession===
===Economic Modernisation===
===21st Century===


=== The Federal Republic ===  
==Climate==
After negotiations, the military agreed to hand over power to interim President [[Ipol Naranja]] who scheduled the first free elections since the 1920s to re-open the [[Agarn House of Elders|House of Elders]] in 1968. Shortly afterwards, he passed the [[Agarn Federal Constitution]] which allowed for new elections for the [[President of Agarntrop|President]], [[Agarn House of Elders|House of Elders]], and the new [[Agarn House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] in 1970. It also established Agarntrop as a {{wpl|Federal Republic}}, with 13 states. This system is still maintained today.
==Government and Politics==
===Elections===
===Political Parties with Representation===


=== Liberalisation ===
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="width:80%;"
Despite the recent democratisation, Agarntrop remained a relatively poor country with an extremely high rate of unemployment until the 1990s. However, in 1985, President [[Pablo Asòla]] was elected with a new policy that involved a mass-privatisation of Agarntrop's means of production. Asòla remains a contraversial figure to this day, but for many he propelled Agarntrop to development.

=== The Elders ===
==Infrastructure==
The upper house of the [[National Legislature of Agarntrop]] is the [[Agarn House of Elders|House of Elders]], known as 'The Elders' for short. The Elders have existed since 1827 and have played a role in the [[Agarn Colony]], [[Agarn Free State]], [[Agarn Empire]] and the modern-day federal republic. Since 1970, there has always been exactly 100 elders as defined in the [[Agarn Federal Constitution]] introduced that year. Elders are elected in terms of 6 years, the next election for them being scheduled in 2024. Elders are elected in a system where each state is a constituency with a certain number of Elders dependent on that state's population, the seats are then allocated proportionately in each state via the {{wpl|d'hondt method}}. Elders must be at least 30 years old.

Agarntrop is served by a well-developed and large highway system, consisting of Autoroutes ("A-roads"), Primary Routes ("B-roads"), and Secondary Routes ("C-roads"). Despite the numbering system, many Primary Routes, such as the B-1 highway that consists of a full circle around the Agarn island, have been upgraded to autoroutes since the latter's introduction in 1962, but have maintained their "B" road letter and number, as the "A" letter can only be applied to newly-built autoroutes. Autoroutes and select Primary Routes known as "turnpikes" are managed by the national Transport Department, however other roads are managed by local authorities.

Geography

Mount Karamos, the tallest point on the Agarn island

Agarntrop is an island nation in the continent of Thuadia. It is located in the Hagalaz Ocean to the south of the Thuadian mainland. The closest country to Agarntrop geographically is Elenias, however it is culturally more closely linked to Neuewland and Prei Meas. The island of Agarntrop itself is low-lying and densely populated with a total population of nearly 22 million. Rising sea levels have led to the construction of flood defences and more people moving inland towards Mount Karamos, the highest point on the island at 2134 metres tall. Despite this, Agarntrop is not prone to tsunamis. The majority of Agarntrop's population is located in its urban centres.


Largest Cities

Wagehut

Established by Neuew colonialists in 1742, the capital city and largest city in Agarntrop is Wagehut. Wagehut has an overall population of 2.3 million, with a metro population of 4.1 million. It is located on the western side of the island, and is the centre of Agarntrop's finance sector. It is home to the Government, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. Since Wagehut experienced an economic boom following the tax cuts of the 1990s, it and the west coast in general has greatly economically outperformed that of the east coast and the centre of the island. Despite this, a great proportion of Wagehut is much less affluent, generally on the south side of the city. This area is home to the vast majority of Wagehut's Aschari community. Wagehut's mayor is Heng Sen, a member of the Socialist Party.


Makänder

Makänder is the second largest city in Agarntrop, with an overall population of 900,000 and a metro population of 1.6 million. It is located inland on the northern side of the island, around half way between Mount Karamos and the north coast. Historically a manufacturing hub, Makänder has transformed into a more service-based economy since the 1990s as the manufacturing sector was outsourced to Prei Meas. Makänder has a large Aschari community, and is less affluent than both Wagehut and Bügens. It has the highest crime rate out of any Agarn city with a population over 100,000, particularly when it comes to issues such as homicide and gun crime. However, violent crime has reduced in recent years. Makänder's mayor is Schmidt Alfredson, a member of the Conservative Party.


Bügens

Bügens is the largest city on the east coast of Agarntrop, and is home to the remnants of Agarntrop's decreasing manufacturing sector. Bügens has an overall population of 700,000 and a metro population of 1.1 million. Bügens is the most affluent city on the east coast of Agarntrop, overcoming the economic stagnation of the area in recent years. Bügens' mayor is Hans Beckham, a member of the Socialist Party.

History

First (Ashcari) Inhabitants

The first inhabitants of the modern Agarn island are estimated to be of Aschari descent, settling from modern day Prei Meas in the 5th Millenium BCE. These settlers developed nomadic colonies that grew to envelop the whole island during the neolithic era. These settlers, due to their relative isolation on an island, did not initially develop metal tools such as bronze and iron, and thus remained in the early agricultural era for a prolonged period in comparison with the rest of Anteria.

Second Republic

The Second Agarn Republic was formed after the introduction of a new constitution in 1932, that was imposed by President Nikolas Schweirin following his rise to power after the 1927 elections. A civil war veteran and Sivuk ethnonationalist, Schweirin saw the old constitution as being "outdated" and hindering his plans to "reform" the country. After his party - the Grand League of Patriots (GLOP) - won the 1930 legislative elections, Schweirin proposed the new constitution and new system of government to the House of Elders in 1931, which approved the bill. The constitution completely seperated the legislative and executive branches of government, removed or undermined many clauses of the 1913 Rights and Freedoms Amendment, and allowed Schweirin to rule by decree as President for life.

Schweirin continued to increase his grasp on power after the passing of the new constitution. In 1934, he used his executive powers to stack the Constitutional Court with loyal justices, allowing him to continue, amongst other things, the legal segregation of Aschari people from the rest of the Agarn population. Throughout the late 1930s and into the early 1940s, Schweirin used the new constitution to essentially outlaw all legal opposition and construct a one-party dictatorship by the time of his death in February 1947.

Schweirin's successor, Michael Kanstein, continued to impose his predecessor's policies to an even more severe degree. Kanstein ordered the burning of books opposing GLOP ideals in 1948, and terrorised the Aschari community, removing any hope of them achieving equal rights. State-sanctioned attacks on Ashcharis (particularly Kammists) reached their peak during the 1950s. The constitution was amended in 1956 to specifically describe Agarntrop as "a nation of Sivuk heritage and Sjaanist faith," (abolishing the secular state) by order of Kanstein.

However, these actions soon led to Agarntrop's political isolation in the Sekidean region and resulted in a famine in the late 1950s. The famine led to riots and demonstrations, which the Government found hard to control, particularly in Aschari-majority areas such as the city of Makänder where the Makänder insurgency began in 1957 as Aschari militant groups such as the Campaign for Aschari Action (CAA) began to bomb government buildings in the area and seize control of many districts. By the time Kanstein died in 1961, the Agarn regime was losing the loyalty and patience of the armed forces, law enforcement, and the population.
