[[File:Kermario_Carnac.JPG|thumb|right|200px|An alignment of {{wpl|menhirs}} in the Eśen Hill complex.]]Azmara has been permanently inhabited since at least 14,000 BCE, where the first {{wpl|arrowheads|arrow}} and {{wpl|spearheads}} date from, with {{wpl|agriculture}} emerging in around 3,750 BCE. The {{wpl|Bronze Age|Azmaran Bronze Age}} is said to have spanned between 1,700 BCE and 500 BCE, during which it is thought the wheel was introduced to Azmara. Archaeological finds from this era are defined chiefly by {{wpl|jewelry}} and {{wpl|weaponry}} found at {{wpl|burial mounds}}, {{wpl|stone circles}} and {{wpl|menhirs}}, of which the Eśen Hill complex remains the most prominent example.

The onset of the {{wpl|Iron Age}} in Azmara is thought to have coincided with the arrival of {{wpl|Celtic peoples|Tenic peoples}} in the region, who are thought to have brought significantly more advanced {{wpl|metalworking}} to the region and become the dominant culture. It is known that the Tenic inhabitants were active traders with the [[Solarian Empire]], with Solarian coins finding their way into Azmaran historical sites and writer Gaius Septimus describing the "peaceful barbarians of the northeast" as a "reliable source of tin".

During the 1st and 2nd centuries CE a cultural shift is thought to have taken place in Azmara, with Septimus commenting on the "warlike Ascimari peoples" displacing the native populations as {{wpl|Germanic peoples|Weranic peoples}} are thought to have moved south into the region to escape bad harvests and social unrest. It is unknown what the ultimate fate of the Azmaran Tenic culture was, yet many theories believe that they gradually assimilated into the Ascimari culture over the course of the next few centuries.

Runic inscriptions in a form of the {{wpl|Elder Futhark}} are common from the 4th century CE and detail the existence of a loose confederation of {{wpl|elective monarchy|elective}} {{wpl|petty kingdoms}} with inscriptions detailing {{wpl|religion}}, {{wpl|war}} and {{wpl|politics}} amongst the petty kingdoms. The consolidation of ''Midlatun'' (modern day [[Mideltuun]], [[Westmaark]]) as a key source of power is documented from the 8th century onwards and is thought to have been the earliest major settlement in the modern-day country.

===Sotirianity, Marauders and Rudolphine Confederation===
| country = Azmara
From the early 9th century, Mideltuun had emerged as the ''de facto'' capital of the Ascimari peoples through a campaign of {{wpl|vassalage}} and would be visited by [[Sotirianity|Sotirian]] {{wpl|missionaries}} St. Wiljâm and St. Jorś in 854. On the 25th January, Þurisas of Mideltuun, the state's monarch, would pay {{wpl|homage}} to the Pope, which is widely commemorated as the conversion of the Azmarans to Sotirianity. Despite this, {{wpl|religious syncretism}} with traditional pagan beliefs was widespread among social classes and the introduced {{wpl|Latin alphabet|Solarian alphabet}} would be used alongside {{wpl|runes}} as opposed to supplanting them.

1848 Revolution; Commonwealth established; liberal Forþgaaners fight conservative Jorśites for power.<br>
[[File:Arbo_-_Battle_of_Stamford_Bridge_(1870).jpg|thumb|right|200px|An 1876 depiction of a battle between the Confederation and the Eastern Marches.]]Many of the smaller petty kingdoms suffered during this period from [[Marauder Age|marauder]] raids on coastal settlements and newly-built monasteries within Azmara. Much of the modern-day state of [[Nordberg]] would be occupied from 872 and would be used as a base for further raids and demands for {{wpl|protection money}}, causing many of the smaller petty states to be absorbed by Mideltuun as protection. Ultimately during the 10th century this threat would retreat and the [[Nordberg (city)|city of Nordberg]] would be recaptured in 992, with the Ascimari largely ''de facto'' unified under one ruler.
-1849-1861: Forþgaaners<br>
 
Universal education established.<br>
The formal unification of the {{wpl|petty kingdoms}} into one state would occur as a reaction to the 1025 invasion of [[Borland (Kylaris)|Borland]] by the [[Estmere|Eastern Marches]] as the Ascimari united into the [[Western March]] for defensive reasons. Soon after this, they would join with other Weranic states into the [[Rudolphine Confederation]] to resist Estmerish conquest, which would be formalised as a {{wpl|confederation}} of states in the 1044 Treaty of Vorausdorf. A disputed monarchical election would see the southwestern portion of the March split off as the Duchy of Groonbank in 1075 yet remain a state of the Confederation.
-1861-1867: Jorśites<br>
 
-1867-1873: Forþgaaners<br>
Religious syncretism in the two states would end with the formerly largely pagan Confederation's adoption of Sotirianity in 1106 as Azmaran rulers adopted and enforced religious conformity and joined the Confederation's crusades in modern-day [[Ruttland]] and [[Caldia]]. Sotirianisation would see {{wpl|Latin language|Solarian}} increasingly become the language of government and a stricter {{wpl|feudal system}} enforced on the state with a clearer division between {{wpl|nobility}}, {{wpl|clergy}} and {{wpl|peasants}}, who served in {{wpl|vassalage}} to the former two categories.
-1873-1876: Jorśites<br>
 
-1876-1888: Forþgaaners<br>
A reunion of the two states, now ''de facto'' {{wpl|hereditary monarchy|hereditary}}, through marriage would happen in 1237, with the {{wpl|personal union}}, commonly referred to as the Union of the Twin Crowns or Groonbank-Westmaark, becoming a key player in Confederation politics through its dominance of the Ostbank {{wpl|imperial circle}}.  
Death penalty abolished.<br>
 
-1888-1895: Jorśites<br>
The next few centuries would see a growth in the power of Azmara's cities, key amongst them the new twin capitals of [[Aalmsted]] and [[Aalmsted#Boroughs|Stefansburg]]. This resulted in the creation of the ''{{wpl|burghs|burijen}}'' system of autonomy to the cities from feudal lords in exchange for direct taxation and the creation of a ''{{wpl|burgher|burijer}}'' class outside the {{wpl|feudal system}}. Attempts to manage peasant unrest over the 15th and 16th centuries would also lead to the creation of a class of {{wpl|emancipation|emancipated}} peasantry across the states, many of whom would serve as itinerant workers for nobles or come to own their own property.
Jorśites form National Coalition.<br>
===Amendist Reaction and Independence===
-1895-1897: National Coalition<br>
[[File:Reformationsdenkmal_Hospitalhof_06.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A statue of Herman Marcksssun, founder of the {{wpl|Wesleyan theology|Westmarckian}} school of Amendism.]]The teachings of the Amendist Reaction were brought to Azmara by [[Herman Marckssun]] and his followers through the 1523 translation of the Bible into Middle Azmaran. They would initially see heavy suppression, with Marckssun being excommunicated in 1525 and executed for {{wpl|heresy}} in 1528, yet would gain significant traction amongst ''burijers'' and free peasants over the next few decades and lead to the passage of the 1554 Edict of Kyningsmer, officially legalising Amendist worship in exchange for a special religious tax.
-1897-1900: Forþgaaners<br>
 
-1900-1906: National Coalition<br>
Jorś III, the Union's ruler, would convert to Amendism in 1578 and establish it as the state's official religion, which would bring him into conflict with the devout Catholic Rudolphine Protector Otto VIII, ultimately leading to him and other Amendist leaders crowning Maximilian of Ostbrücken as Protector and beginning the [[Amendist Wars]]. These would bring significant destruction and a high death toll to the state, yet would end in 1607 with the Peace of Frankendorf enshrining ''{{wpl|cuius regio eius religio}}'' in law.
Rise of the labour movement; Workers' Party forms. Forþgaaners rebrand as Gold Flame.<br>
 
-1906-1918: Gold Flame<br>
The governments of Groonbank-Westmaark would struggle during the 17th century as their relationship with the Confederation and with the ''burijers'' and free peasantry grew increasingly strained. These were exacerbated by the rule of [[Otto IX, Rudolphine Protector|Otto IX]] as Rudolphine Protector from 1645, who was a strong believer in the {{wpl|divine right of kings}} and suspend the Reichsrat, the Confederation's legislature, in 1664. This move would provoke significant unrest in Azmara directed against both Otto and Margrave-Duke Siimun IV, who was seen as too supportive of Otto.
FPTP abolished; emancipation of women in Fifth Amendment.<br>
 
-1918-1921: National Coalition<br>
The unrest would culminate in the declaration of the independent Azmaran Confederation in 1665 by a group of nobles opposed to Otto IX and Siimun IV and the Azmaran Revolt as much of the ''burijers'' and peasantry rose up against the Rudolphine Confederation's attempts to put down the independent state. While their attempts succeeded in returning much of historical Westmaark to the Rudolphine Confederation, the Azmaran Confederation would consolidate control over much of historic Groonbank over the next few decades and would align themselves with the [[Soravia|Soravian]]-[[Valduvia|Platavian]] alliance against [[Cislania]].
-1921-1924: Workers'-dissident Gold Flame<br>
 
New Liberals form from dissident Gold Flame.<br>
The outbreak of a succession crisis in [[Ruttland]] in 1711 would lead to the [[Ten Years' War]], which Azmara would use as an opportunity to gain international recognition and regain historic Westmaark, a goal that Azmara would successfully realise after [[Gaullica|Gaullican]] entry into the war as sovereignty would be affirmed in the [[Congress of Cislania]]. After the war, would come further into Soravian influence as the ruling Soravian Halte-Haldorfs would marry into the politically dominant House of Ryksmark, with [[Frederick I of Soravia|Frederick I]] serving as Chancellor of the Azmaran Confederation in {{wpl|personal union}}. Due to the economic benefits of Soravian ties and the Ryksmark-Halte-Haldorf family respecting the {{wpl|parliamentary system|proto-parliamentary}} governance of the [[Althing (Azmara)|Althing of the Estates]], the Confederation era has often been referred to as a "Golden Age" in Azmaran historiography.
-1924-1933: National Coalition-Gold Flame<br>
 
New Liberals rename to Radicals, Azmara enters Great War on the side of Gaullica despite mass public opposition, after suspension of 1927 and 1930 elections for war effort a general strike amidst growing threat of occupation brings down the government and Azmara withdraws from the war.<br>
The outbreak of revolution in the Rudolphine Confederation and the declaration of the [[Weranian Republic]] in 1786 threatened much of Azmara's political elite. Azmara would thus join the First Revolutionary War to restore the Protector yet would ultimately be overrun by the Weranian army, with the Confederation being dissolved and the revolutionary Republic of Westmaark formed in its place in 1794. The Republic would attempt significant reforms but would ultimately be preoccupied with the outbreak of a Second Revolutionary War and ultimately absorbed into Werania in 1798.
-1933-1954: Workers'-Radical<br>
 
Key workers' rights established, Azmara re-enters war, welfare state established, National Coalition collapses as moderates from Sotirian Democrats from its ashes.<br>
The ultimate defeat of the Weranian Republic in 1801 would see the return of the last Chancellor's son, Stefan, to Azmara, who would be crowned King Stefan I of the Azmarans by the Althing of the Estates. Stefan I would pursue {{wpl|enlightened monarchism}}, stripping back the power of the nobility and appointing many ''burijer'' and peasant ministers, liberalising restrictions on Catholics and [[Witterites]] and reforming Azmaran {{wpl|orthography}}. His government also placed support behind new industrial endeavours in {{wpl|steel}} and {{wpl|textiles}} production, helping to kickstart the {{wpl|Industrial Revolution}} in Azmaran cities such as Aalmsted, [[Saltsdyyk]] and [[Kyningsmer]].
-1954-1957: Sotirian Democrats-Gold Flame<br>
 
-1957-1960: Workers'-Radical<br>
Stefan I's reforms would lead to the growth of a large urban working class and a middle class who were disenfranchised or underrepresented in the Althing respectively as well as a massive rise in {{wpl|literacy}}. These combined led to the growth of a large {{wpl|liberalism|liberal}} and {{wpl|nationalism|national}} movement alongside the birth of Azmaran {{wpl|socialism}} which his successors struggled to reign in. Riots over poor harvests would lead to his younger son Stefan II declaring war on [[Blostland]] in 1854 over accused violation of Azmaran sovereignty over the Line Islands. The large defeat of the Azmaran navy in this war and the loss of the islands, however, only served to add fuel to the riots and led to the outbreak of the Revolution of 1855.
-1960-1963: Sotirian Democrats-Gold Flame<br>
===Commonwealth of Azmara===
-1963-1966: Workers'-Radical<br>
The Revolution would see a group of radical deputies led by [[Mikel Hankssun]] and [[Jorś Wilhjâlmssun]] take control over Aalmsted, storming the Althing and declaring the {{wpl|republicanism|republican}} Commonwealth of Azmara. Ultimately, as unrest broke out in other cities and began spreading to rural areas as the newly-declared Commonwealth consolidated control, Stefan II would flee, first to [[Werania]] and later to [[unknown]]. By September, much of the country was under the control of the Commonwealth, which would pass a Basic Law establishing a {{wpl|separation of powers}}, {{wpl|universal male suffrage}} in elections, the {{wpl|disestablishment}} of the Church of Azmara and the end of the nobility and clergy's legal privileges.
Abortion decriminalised.<br>
 
-1966-1969: Gold Flame-Sotirian Democrats<br>
Mikel Hankssun was elected as the Commonwealth's first President, while him and Wilhjâlmssun's {{wpl|liberal nationalism|liberal nationalist}} Progress Party would come to dominate politics over the next few decades. Under their rule, many reforms would be pursued such as {{wpl|universal education|universal primary education}}, the secularisation of the legal code and a moderate attempt at {{wpl|land reform}}. The government also adopted {{wpl|armed neutrality}} and under Wilhjâlmssun as Foreign Secretary would successfully build relations with neighbouring {{wpl|monarchism|monarchist}} [[Estmere]] and [[Werania]]. This, combined by a liberal economic regime of low tariffs and minimal intervention in the market alongside state support for the development of railways would help further develop the Azmaran economy, making it one of the first fully industrialised countries in Euclea.
-1969-1975: Radical-Sotirian Democrats<br>
 
-1975-1978: Workers'-Radical<br>
Full industralisation would see the growth of {{wpl|trade unionism}}, which alongside {{wpl|nationalism}} and {{wpl|revanchism}} towards Blostland led to the election of {{wpl|populism|populist}} President Þurisas Jonssun in 1885. However, his failure to pursue labour and welfare reform and the Althing's unwillingness to go to war would sink his presidency, driving trade unionists towards the arms of the growing {{wpl|socialism|socialist}} and {{wpl|Christian revivalism|Sotirian revivalist}} movements and establishing a {{wpl|national conservatism|conservative nationalist}} movement in opposition to the Commonwealth's liberal consensus.
-1978-1987: Gold Flame-Sotirian Democrats<br>
 
Neoliberalism is in power. A programme of deregulation and privatisation is pursued. Workers' Party support sinks to low levels.<br>
The growth of these movements through the turn of the 20th century would lead to the Progress Party and its successor in Gold Flame pursuing welfare and land reform and a shift towards {{wpl|parliamentarianism}}, but the onset of the [[Great Collapse]] would fuel support for the socialist Azmaran Section of the Workers' International (ADAA) and the right-wing National Coalition. ADAA would come to power in a {{wpl|popular front}} in 1921 and attempt a slate of left-wing reform but would be ousted two years later by the National Coalition under Þurisas Siimunsun after it absorbed several nationalist ADAA members.
-1987-1993: Gold Flame-Radical<br>
 
Civil unions for same-sex couples introduced: neoliberalism continues.<br>
Siimunsun's government would pursue a heavy nationalist and {{wpl|corporatism|corporatist}} approach yet would face accusations of {{wpl|authoritarianism}} and [[National Functionalism|functionalist]] sympathies which would increase after its re-election in 1927 as it cracked down on the activity of socialist groups. More controversial still was the 1929 decision to allow [[Functionalist Gaullica]] access to its territory to attack [[Werania]] and [[Estmere]] on threat of naval invasion, bringing the country into the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], with mass demonstrations leading to a further crackdown on {{wpl|civil liberties}} and opposition groups.
-1993-1999: Workers' Party-Radical<br>
 
The Workers' Party pursues a new centrist outlook: Socialist Party splits in protest, Green Party grows in support.<br>
The Great War would prove disastrous for Azmara and military losses against Werania and Estmere would lead to a {{wpl|general strike}} in 1932  which would paralyse the country. Siimunsun's assassination at the hands of a rogue army unit would cause the National Coalition's downfall and the formation of a {{wpl|provisional government}} by several opposition groups led by [[Hjalmer Alekssun]], which would issue a new Basic Law, granting women the vote, and switch Azmara' wartime loyalties.  
-1999-2005: Workers' Party-Gold Flame<br>
 
The Grand Coalition comes to power; same-sex marriage legalised, multiculturalism encouraged, soft drugs decriminalised.<br>
Hjalmer Alekssun and his Workers' Party, formed through a merger of many of the Popular Front's factions, would come to dominate the post-war political scene and pursue a {{wpl|social democratic}} platform of nationalisation of heavy industry and the formation of a {{wpl|welfare state}} and a massive expansion in the public provision of education, healthcare and housing. In 1948 under Alekssun's successor, Mâþijas Aansgaarssun, the country would become a founding member of the [[Euclean Community]], while successive {{wpl|centre-right politics|centre-right}} governments in the 1950s and 60s would maintain the country's {{wpl|welfare state}} and pro-Euclean foreign policy.
-2005-2008: Sotirian Democrats-Radical-Green<br>
 
A centrist coalition comes to force against the growing threat of the right-wing People's Party. Status quo is largely maintained.<br>
From the 1970s, Azmaran society would see significant liberalisation both socially and economically after 1972 student protests against the perceived conservatism of Azmaran society and a {{wpl|stagflation}} crisis experienced by [[Stefan Mâþissun]]'s government in the late 1970s. The governments of [[Aarne Leifssun]] and [[Herman Jonssun]] during the 80s and 90s would be responsible for much of this liberalisation, with the former being credited to shifting Azmara towards a {{wpl|service sector|services-based}} {{wpl|social market economy}} and the latter being credited with melding this with the Workers' Party's traditional ideology. In 1985, [[Jana Eryksdohter]] would be elected as the country's first female President.
-2008-2011: Workers' Party-Radical-Sotirian Democrats-Green<br>
 
A centre-left government is established, but little is achieved due to disagreements between parties.<br>
The 2005 Recession would have a major effect on Azmara, leading to the pursual of a more {{wpl|Keynesian economics|demand-side economic policy}} and a shift away from {{wpl|neoliberalism}} under the governments of [[Helmut Þurisassun]] and [[Niina Hermansdohter]]. In recent years, the country has been analysed as many to have shifted further away from neoliberalism through the left-wing governments of [[Eryk Jorśsun]] and [[Sofija Anasdohter]].
-2011-2014: Gold Flame-Sotirian Democrats w/ People's support<br>
=Tables=
Controversially, the support of the right-wing People's Party is used to form a government. Restrictions on immigration increased. New single issue parties such as Free Alliance and the Grey Party form.<br>
-2014-2017: Gold Flame-Sotirian Democrats-Radical<br>
The Radical Party agrees to support the government on the condition that the anti-immigration policies passed under the last government are repealed. New Azmara forms before election.<br>
-2017-present: Workers'-Green-Socialist-New Azmara<br>
A new left-wing government comes to power in Azmara in opposition to neoliberalism and Third Way politics. Eryk Bogskuuta becomes Prime Minister.

The party was formed in 1945 through a merger of the {{wpl|Christian humanism|Sotirian humanist}} Freethinkers' Party and the {{wpl|agrarianism|agrarian}} Farmers' Party with the goal of acting as a united voice in favour of Azmaran rural communities against what its founders perceived as an urban-centric political establishment. It would enter government in 1954 alongside [[Gold Flame]] in Azmara's first {{wpl|centre-right}} government since the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] and has served in government several times since, supplying three [[Thingspeaker of Azmara|Thingspeakers]] despite being absent from power 1969-1981 and 1987-2005.

'''Oskar Askerssun''' (19 June 1891 — 1 September 1952) was an Azmaran {{wpl|writer}}, {{wpl|political theorist}} and {{wpl|politician}} who served as the first leader of the [[Centre Party (Azmara)|Centre Party]], to which he is often considered the ideological father. He also served as a Member of the Folksmot between 1939 and his death in 1952.
==Early life and career==
Oskar Askerssun was born in 1891 in the northern [[Westmaark]] town of Groons. His father, Asker Isakssun, served as the priest of the town's church, while his mother served as a ''{{wpl|primary school|folksskul}}'' teacher. Due to his father's ecclesiastical role, Askerssun was able to obtain secondary educationat the then-[[Church of Azmara]]-run Mideltuun Boys High School as a boarding student.
After graduating in 1909, Askerssun would marry Mariina Isaksdohter, a student at the corresponding girl's school and acquire a job teaching at a ''{{wpl|primary school|folksskul}}'' in Mideltuun. Over the next decade and a half, he would teach at both this school and schools in rural nearby towns including in his native Groons, during which time he would begin writing. Askerssun's early outputs consisting largely of short stories about Azmaran rural life inspired by the country's {{wpl|romantic literature|romantic}} and {{wpl|realist literature|realist}} literature trends, many of which found their way into the ''Jeśehten fân Groons'' ("Stories from Groons") collection published in 1917.
Askerssun's writings would lead to him developing an interest in political matters in order to alleviate the conditions of the rural poor and would join the Sotirian-inspired progressive [[National Association (Azmara)|National Association]].
==Early political activism==
Askerssun would help campaign for the party in northern Westmaark in the 1918 and 1921 elections and would venture into political {{wpl|essay writing}}, resulting in a 1923 collection titled ''Þahten fân Groons'' ("Thoughts from Groons") in which Askerssun described effects of the [[Great Collapse]] in Azmara and detailed his criticisms both of the ''{{wpl|laissez-faire}}'' policies of Azmaran governments before 1921 and of {{wpl|Marxism|Nemtsovism}} and {{wpl|council communism|councilism}}. Despite this, Askerssun was a cautious supporter of the {{wpl|coalition government}} between the councilist [[Azmaran Section of the Workers' International|ADAA]] and the National Association, noting that if the latter "moderated" the former's "Nemtsovite excesses" then "significant progress" could be made on "eradicating rural poverty".
After the rise of the [[National Coalition (Azmara)|National Coalition]] to power, Askerssun would find himself cast in the role of a political opposition leader, becoming a key figure in the new Freethinkers' Party formed by the splinter of the {{wpl|centrism|centrist}} wing of the National Association as its {{wpl|socialism|socialist}} wing merged with the majority of the ADAA into the [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|Workers' Party]]. In response to what he and many other opposition politicians considered a crackdown on {{wpl|civil liberties}} by the government and alignment with the [[National Functionalism|Functionalist]] government in [[Gaullica]], Askerssun would attempt to organise a united opposition front to help defeat the National Coalition in the 1927 election yet this would be to no avail and the government would be re-elected amid a {{wpl|red scare}}.
In the face of Azmaran entry into the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] on the Gaullican side in 1929 and further crackdowns on civil liberties culminating in the suspension of the 1930 election, Askerssun would temporarily flee the country with his wife and children to [[Werania]] fearing for his personal safety. Residing in [[Westbrücken]], Askerssun would publish the essay and short story collection ''Ân Handeling âb Wiþerstejen'' ("An Act of Resistance") in 1931, a work harshly critical of [[National Functionalism]] and {{wpl|right-wing authoritarianism}} he would later describe as his "magnum opus".
With the outbreak of the 1932 General Strike in Azmara leading to the downfall of the National Coalition and the country's withdrawal from the war, Askerssun would return, being appointed as Minister for Agriculture in the {{wpl|provisional government}} of [[Hjalmer Alekssun]] as the new government rewrote the constitution and re-entered the war on the anti-Gaullican side. However, Askerssun would not stand in the 1933 election and would resign from office, stating that he needed a "retreat" from political life, declining an offer from his party to stand in the 1934 presidential and 1936 legislative elections.
During the late 1930s Askerssun would publish two more {{wpl|short story}} compilations which would branch out in themes to explore {{wpl|romance}} and {{wpl|historical fiction}} - 1936's ''De Raad Foogel'' ("The Red Bird") and 1938's ''In Hindsiht'' ("In Hindsight").
==Parliamentary career==
Askerssun would ultimately accept a request from his party to run in the 1939 legislative election, stating a concern that the Azmaran political scene would become "monopolised" by the [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|Workers' Party]]-[[The Radicals (Azmara)|Radical]] alliance who had won large majorities in the past two elections and who he described as "too rooted in urban concerns" to address a significant swathe of the nation.
Topping the poll in Westmaark province, Askerssun would become one of the leading voices of the opposition to the governments of Hjalmer Alekssun. Askerssun would continually emphasise his opposition to the government as being "respectful and constructive" and would seek bipartisan solutions on areas of mutual agreement such as the introduction of universal {{wpl|secondary education}} and integration into the [[Euclean Community#History|United Nations of Euclea]], while criticising the government's {{wpl|industrial policy}} of {{wpl|nationalisation}} and {{wpl|state planning}} of significant portions of heavy industry as overly centralising power.
Askerssun was also a noted critic of the government's welfare reforms, noting that while he saw a "more generous pensions and social insurance system" as a "necessity", he saw what he termed the government's "one-size-fits-all" approach as "dangerous", arguing instead for a sectorally stratified system as developed by {{wpl|Sotirian democracy|Sotirian democratic}} parties in other countries.
After his re-election in the 1942 election, Askerssun would work for greater collaboration of the forces to the right of the government, forming an alliance with the {{wpl|agrarianism|agrarian}} Farmers' Party citing their similar focus on the interests of rural Azmarans and presssuring the leadership of the Freethinkers' Party to co-operate further with the party. In 1944, a merger proposal heavily supported by Askerssun would be put to both parties, arguing a need to "unite the centre" of Azmaran politics between the {{wpl|socialism}} and {{wpl|radicalism (historical)|radicalism}} of the government and the ''{{wpl|laissez-faire}}'' of other opposition party [[Gold Flame]].
This merger proposal would succeed and at an inaugural conference for the new party it would adopt the name of Centre Party of Azmara and elect Askerssun as its first leader, committing to an {{wpl|agrarian}} platform influenced by {{wpl|Christian humanism|Sotirian humanist}}, {{wpl|liberal democracy|liberal democratic}} and {{wpl|civic nationalism|civic nationalist}} doctrines. The newly-formed party would achieve second place in the 1945 election with 17.3% of the vote and 26 seats, resulting in Askerssun becoming the formal Leader of the Opposition.
==Personal views==
Askerssun's personal views have been widely judged to have stemmed chiefly from his desire to alleviate the conditions of the Azmaran rural poor, his {{wpl|Methodism|Westmarckian}} faith, a romanticist conception of {{wpl|nationalism|Azmaran nationalism}} and a commitment to {{wpl|democracy}} and {{wpl|human rights}}.
Askerssun was a strong believer in the founding principles of the Commonwealth of Azmara, professing in 1927 that the "republican, secular and liberal democracy" developed by [[Mikel Hankssun]] was the most laudable achievement in the nation's history - despite his strong personal faith and religious-derived ethics Askerssun strongly opposed the notion of a {{wpl|state church}}, describing such a concept as a violation of the Westmarckian concept of "free will".
Askerssun was an opponent both of {{wpl|free-market capitalism}} professed by [[Gold Flame]] and the {{wpl|socialism}} professed by the ADAA and later the [[Workers' Party (Azmara)|Workers' Party]], seeing both systems as "based in the concerns of urban classes", the former serving the ''{{wpl|bourgeoisie|burijer}}'' class and the latter serving the urban poor to the detriment of other groups in society. Askerssun instead viewed {{wpl|class collaboration}} as important, stating in ''Ân Handeling âb Wiþerstejen'' that "''burijers'', intellectuals, labourers and farmers" all had a role to play in society and that the government had a role to balance and negotiate the interests of the four classes and ensure none of them were too powerful.
Askerssun supported a large role for {{wpl|small business}} and {{wpl|co-operatives}} in the economy and thought the government should intervene to prevent monopolies both by private and state-owned enterprise, seeing both as detrimental to national wellbeing and concentrating power in the hands of too few individuals. Some have described Askerssun as a {{wpl|distributist}} due to an emphasis on spreading power over the {{wpl|means of production}} in his writings.
In ''Þahten fân Groons'', Askerssun professed his support for the {{wpl|first-wave feminism|first wave}} of Azmaran feminism, stating that he saw "no reason why [his wife] should not be considered legally equal [to himself]", and expressed opposition to the {{wpl|death penalty}}, describing it as "barbaric". He was also a consistent advocate for {{wpl|temperance movement|temperance}} and {{wpl|prohibition}}, with ''Þahten fân Groons'' describing the government's duty to "crack down on the vices of the Azmaran poor" such as {{wpl|alcohol}}, {{wpl|gambling}} and {{wpl|prostitution}}.
Some modern-day writers have described Askerssun as a {{wpl|eugenicist}} due to writings where he argued that children should not be conceived "by families that cannot support them", identifying large families as a "key problem" facing the rural poor, yet others have disputed this.

Prehistory

An alignment of menhirs in the Eśen Hill complex.

Azmara has been permanently inhabited since at least 14,000 BCE, where the first arrow and spearheads date from, with agriculture emerging in around 3,750 BCE. The Azmaran Bronze Age is said to have spanned between 1,700 BCE and 500 BCE, during which it is thought the wheel was introduced to Azmara. Archaeological finds from this era are defined chiefly by jewelry and weaponry found at burial mounds, stone circles and menhirs, of which the Eśen Hill complex remains the most prominent example.

The onset of the Iron Age in Azmara is thought to have coincided with the arrival of Tenic peoples in the region, who are thought to have brought significantly more advanced metalworking to the region and become the dominant culture. It is known that the Tenic inhabitants were active traders with the Solarian Empire, with Solarian coins finding their way into Azmaran historical sites and writer Gaius Septimus describing the "peaceful barbarians of the northeast" as a "reliable source of tin".

During the 1st and 2nd centuries CE a cultural shift is thought to have taken place in Azmara, with Septimus commenting on the "warlike Ascimari peoples" displacing the native populations as Weranic peoples are thought to have moved south into the region to escape bad harvests and social unrest. It is unknown what the ultimate fate of the Azmaran Tenic culture was, yet many theories believe that they gradually assimilated into the Ascimari culture over the course of the next few centuries.

Runic inscriptions in a form of the Elder Futhark are common from the 4th century CE and detail the existence of a loose confederation of elective petty kingdoms with inscriptions detailing religion, war and politics amongst the petty kingdoms. The consolidation of Midlatun (modern day Mideltuun, Westmaark) as a key source of power is documented from the 8th century onwards and is thought to have been the earliest major settlement in the modern-day country.

Sotirianity, Marauders and Rudolphine Confederation

From the early 9th century, Mideltuun had emerged as the de facto capital of the Ascimari peoples through a campaign of vassalage and would be visited by Sotirian missionaries St. Wiljâm and St. Jorś in 854. On the 25th January, Þurisas of Mideltuun, the state's monarch, would pay homage to the Pope, which is widely commemorated as the conversion of the Azmarans to Sotirianity. Despite this, religious syncretism with traditional pagan beliefs was widespread among social classes and the introduced Solarian alphabet would be used alongside runes as opposed to supplanting them.

An 1876 depiction of a battle between the Confederation and the Eastern Marches.

Many of the smaller petty kingdoms suffered during this period from marauder raids on coastal settlements and newly-built monasteries within Azmara. Much of the modern-day state of Nordberg would be occupied from 872 and would be used as a base for further raids and demands for protection money, causing many of the smaller petty states to be absorbed by Mideltuun as protection. Ultimately during the 10th century this threat would retreat and the city of Nordberg would be recaptured in 992, with the Ascimari largely de facto unified under one ruler.

The formal unification of the petty kingdoms into one state would occur as a reaction to the 1025 invasion of Borland by the Eastern Marches as the Ascimari united into the Western March for defensive reasons. Soon after this, they would join with other Weranic states into the Rudolphine Confederation to resist Estmerish conquest, which would be formalised as a confederation of states in the 1044 Treaty of Vorausdorf. A disputed monarchical election would see the southwestern portion of the March split off as the Duchy of Groonbank in 1075 yet remain a state of the Confederation.

Religious syncretism in the two states would end with the formerly largely pagan Confederation's adoption of Sotirianity in 1106 as Azmaran rulers adopted and enforced religious conformity and joined the Confederation's crusades in modern-day Ruttland and Caldia. Sotirianisation would see Solarian increasingly become the language of government and a stricter feudal system enforced on the state with a clearer division between nobility, clergy and peasants, who served in vassalage to the former two categories.

A reunion of the two states, now de facto hereditary, through marriage would happen in 1237, with the personal union, commonly referred to as the Union of the Twin Crowns or Groonbank-Westmaark, becoming a key player in Confederation politics through its dominance of the Ostbank imperial circle.

The next few centuries would see a growth in the power of Azmara's cities, key amongst them the new twin capitals of Aalmsted and Stefansburg. This resulted in the creation of the burijen system of autonomy to the cities from feudal lords in exchange for direct taxation and the creation of a burijer class outside the feudal system. Attempts to manage peasant unrest over the 15th and 16th centuries would also lead to the creation of a class of emancipated peasantry across the states, many of whom would serve as itinerant workers for nobles or come to own their own property.

The teachings of the Amendist Reaction were brought to Azmara by Herman Marckssun and his followers through the 1523 translation of the Bible into Middle Azmaran. They would initially see heavy suppression, with Marckssun being excommunicated in 1525 and executed for heresy in 1528, yet would gain significant traction amongst burijers and free peasants over the next few decades and lead to the passage of the 1554 Edict of Kyningsmer, officially legalising Amendist worship in exchange for a special religious tax.

Jorś III, the Union's ruler, would convert to Amendism in 1578 and establish it as the state's official religion, which would bring him into conflict with the devout Catholic Rudolphine Protector Otto VIII, ultimately leading to him and other Amendist leaders crowning Maximilian of Ostbrücken as Protector and beginning the Amendist Wars. These would bring significant destruction and a high death toll to the state, yet would end in 1607 with the Peace of Frankendorf enshrining cuius regio eius religio in law.

The governments of Groonbank-Westmaark would struggle during the 17th century as their relationship with the Confederation and with the burijers and free peasantry grew increasingly strained. These were exacerbated by the rule of Otto IX as Rudolphine Protector from 1645, who was a strong believer in the divine right of kings and suspend the Reichsrat, the Confederation's legislature, in 1664. This move would provoke significant unrest in Azmara directed against both Otto and Margrave-Duke Siimun IV, who was seen as too supportive of Otto.

The unrest would culminate in the declaration of the independent Azmaran Confederation in 1665 by a group of nobles opposed to Otto IX and Siimun IV and the Azmaran Revolt as much of the burijers and peasantry rose up against the Rudolphine Confederation's attempts to put down the independent state. While their attempts succeeded in returning much of historical Westmaark to the Rudolphine Confederation, the Azmaran Confederation would consolidate control over much of historic Groonbank over the next few decades and would align themselves with the Soravian-Platavian alliance against Cislania.

The outbreak of a succession crisis in Ruttland in 1711 would lead to the Ten Years' War, which Azmara would use as an opportunity to gain international recognition and regain historic Westmaark, a goal that Azmara would successfully realise after Gaullican entry into the war as sovereignty would be affirmed in the Congress of Cislania. After the war, would come further into Soravian influence as the ruling Soravian Halte-Haldorfs would marry into the politically dominant House of Ryksmark, with Frederick I serving as Chancellor of the Azmaran Confederation in personal union. Due to the economic benefits of Soravian ties and the Ryksmark-Halte-Haldorf family respecting the proto-parliamentary governance of the Althing of the Estates, the Confederation era has often been referred to as a "Golden Age" in Azmaran historiography.

The outbreak of revolution in the Rudolphine Confederation and the declaration of the Weranian Republic in 1786 threatened much of Azmara's political elite. Azmara would thus join the First Revolutionary War to restore the Protector yet would ultimately be overrun by the Weranian army, with the Confederation being dissolved and the revolutionary Republic of Westmaark formed in its place in 1794. The Republic would attempt significant reforms but would ultimately be preoccupied with the outbreak of a Second Revolutionary War and ultimately absorbed into Werania in 1798.

The ultimate defeat of the Weranian Republic in 1801 would see the return of the last Chancellor's son, Stefan, to Azmara, who would be crowned King Stefan I of the Azmarans by the Althing of the Estates. Stefan I would pursue enlightened monarchism, stripping back the power of the nobility and appointing many burijer and peasant ministers, liberalising restrictions on Catholics and Witterites and reforming Azmaran orthography. His government also placed support behind new industrial endeavours in steel and textiles production, helping to kickstart the Industrial Revolution in Azmaran cities such as Aalmsted, Saltsdyyk and Kyningsmer.

Stefan I's reforms would lead to the growth of a large urban working class and a middle class who were disenfranchised or underrepresented in the Althing respectively as well as a massive rise in literacy. These combined led to the growth of a large liberal and national movement alongside the birth of Azmaran socialism which his successors struggled to reign in. Riots over poor harvests would lead to his younger son Stefan II declaring war on Blostland in 1854 over accused violation of Azmaran sovereignty over the Line Islands. The large defeat of the Azmaran navy in this war and the loss of the islands, however, only served to add fuel to the riots and led to the outbreak of the Revolution of 1855.

Commonwealth of Azmara

The Revolution would see a group of radical deputies led by Mikel Hankssun and Jorś Wilhjâlmssun take control over Aalmsted, storming the Althing and declaring the republican Commonwealth of Azmara. Ultimately, as unrest broke out in other cities and began spreading to rural areas as the newly-declared Commonwealth consolidated control, Stefan II would flee, first to Werania and later to unknown. By September, much of the country was under the control of the Commonwealth, which would pass a Basic Law establishing a separation of powers, universal male suffrage in elections, the disestablishment of the Church of Azmara and the end of the nobility and clergy's legal privileges.

Mikel Hankssun was elected as the Commonwealth's first President, while him and Wilhjâlmssun's liberal nationalist Progress Party would come to dominate politics over the next few decades. Under their rule, many reforms would be pursued such as universal primary education, the secularisation of the legal code and a moderate attempt at land reform. The government also adopted armed neutrality and under Wilhjâlmssun as Foreign Secretary would successfully build relations with neighbouring monarchist Estmere and Werania. This, combined by a liberal economic regime of low tariffs and minimal intervention in the market alongside state support for the development of railways would help further develop the Azmaran economy, making it one of the first fully industrialised countries in Euclea.

Full industralisation would see the growth of trade unionism, which alongside nationalism and revanchism towards Blostland led to the election of populist President Þurisas Jonssun in 1885. However, his failure to pursue labour and welfare reform and the Althing's unwillingness to go to war would sink his presidency, driving trade unionists towards the arms of the growing socialist and Sotirian revivalist movements and establishing a conservative nationalist movement in opposition to the Commonwealth's liberal consensus.

The growth of these movements through the turn of the 20th century would lead to the Progress Party and its successor in Gold Flame pursuing welfare and land reform and a shift towards parliamentarianism, but the onset of the Great Collapse would fuel support for the socialist Azmaran Section of the Workers' International (ADAA) and the right-wing National Coalition. ADAA would come to power in a popular front in 1921 and attempt a slate of left-wing reform but would be ousted two years later by the National Coalition under Þurisas Siimunsun after it absorbed several nationalist ADAA members.

Siimunsun's government would pursue a heavy nationalist and corporatist approach yet would face accusations of authoritarianism and functionalist sympathies which would increase after its re-election in 1927 as it cracked down on the activity of socialist groups. More controversial still was the 1929 decision to allow Functionalist Gaullica access to its territory to attack Werania and Estmere on threat of naval invasion, bringing the country into the Great War, with mass demonstrations leading to a further crackdown on civil liberties and opposition groups.

The Great War would prove disastrous for Azmara and military losses against Werania and Estmere would lead to a general strike in 1932 which would paralyse the country. Siimunsun's assassination at the hands of a rogue army unit would cause the National Coalition's downfall and the formation of a provisional government by several opposition groups led by Hjalmer Alekssun, which would issue a new Basic Law, granting women the vote, and switch Azmara' wartime loyalties.

Hjalmer Alekssun and his Workers' Party, formed through a merger of many of the Popular Front's factions, would come to dominate the post-war political scene and pursue a social democratic platform of nationalisation of heavy industry and the formation of a welfare state and a massive expansion in the public provision of education, healthcare and housing. In 1948 under Alekssun's successor, Mâþijas Aansgaarssun, the country would become a founding member of the Euclean Community, while successive centre-right governments in the 1950s and 60s would maintain the country's welfare state and pro-Euclean foreign policy.

From the 1970s, Azmaran society would see significant liberalisation both socially and economically after 1972 student protests against the perceived conservatism of Azmaran society and a stagflation crisis experienced by Stefan Mâþissun's government in the late 1970s. The governments of Aarne Leifssun and Herman Jonssun during the 80s and 90s would be responsible for much of this liberalisation, with the former being credited to shifting Azmara towards a services-based social market economy and the latter being credited with melding this with the Workers' Party's traditional ideology. In 1985, Jana Eryksdohter would be elected as the country's first female President.

The 2005 Recession would have a major effect on Azmara, leading to the pursual of a more demand-side economic policy and a shift away from neoliberalism under the governments of Helmut Þurisassun and Niina Hermansdohter. In recent years, the country has been analysed as many to have shifted further away from neoliberalism through the left-wing governments of Eryk Jorśsun and Sofija Anasdohter.

Azmara, (/æzmɑːrə/; Azmaran: Azmaara [ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), officially the Kingdom of the Azmarans (Azmaran: Kyninkryk âb de Azmaariśeren [gɛmɛnʋɛlθ æβ ɑzmɑːɹɑ]), is a country located in northeast Euclea with a population of 10 million citizens. The nation consists of eight provinces and has its capital in the city of Aalmsted, whose metropolitan area backs onto many of Azmara's other large cities and comprises around 35% of the nation's population. To the southwest it borders Borland and to the northwest it borders Werania.

The Azmaran state can trace its origins to the consolidation of many of the petty kingdoms in the modern-day territory into the Western March of the Rudolphine Confederation in 1027. This state, which would later be reorganised into Twin Crowns of Groonbank and Westmaark during the 13th century, would come to be one of the pre-eminent states within the Confederation, dominating the Translanian sphere of the Confederation. Despite this, as the Amendist Reaction spread across the Confederation and found a particular stronghold amongst the lesser nobility and burghers of Groonbank-Westmaark, the state would come into specific conflict with successive Protectors over the 16th and 17th centuries, with the state seeing much bloodshed during the Amendist Wars.

Otto IX's attempts at centralisation would lead to further resistance in the state, culminating in the Azmaran Revolt of 1665, culminating in the self-government of several parts of Azmara under the Azmaran Confederation, which would further consolidate its control of the modern-day territories over the next half-century before the eventual unification of Azmara after the Ten Years' War. The Confederation would be increasingly incorporated into Soravia's sphere of influence, with Frederick I ruling the Confederation in personal union with Soravia, and the two states seeing heavy interconnection after his death. This would however be interrupted by attempts to export the Weranian Revolution to Azmara, with the Republic of Westmaark being created as a sister republic in 1794.

After the demise of the revolutionaries, Stefan I would be crowned King of Azmara in 1801, and would try and bring the concept of an enlightened monarchy to Azmara, yet after his death in 1837 his descendants' rule would become unpopular and after a series of bad harvests and confrontations with radical parliamentarians led by Jorś Wilhjâlmssun a revolution would break out in the winter of 1854, which would be ultimately satiated through the 1855 Instrument of Governance, which established parliamentary governance and extended suffrage to significant portions of the middle class. The country would introduce labour market reforms establishing a comprehensive welfare state in the late 19th and early 20th century establishing an advanced mixed economy and would adopt a policy of armed neutrality but would be invaded during the Great War by the Entente before being liberated by the Grand Alliance in 1933.

Alsbora is a nickname often used for the co-operation and joint advocacy between three northern member states of the Euclean Community: Alsland, Azmara and Borland. The name of the organisation comes from a portmanteau of the names of the three countries - Alsland, Borland, Azmara, and became widely used in Euclean politics since the accession of Alsland to the Euclean Community in 1955, yet the frequent co-operation between the three governments has never been coalesced into a formal organisation.

The term is often associated with joint foreign policy objectives of the three nations, with the three supporting increased federalisation of the Euclean Community while opposing a perceived domination of the organisation by Estmere, Gaullica and Werania and seeking to serve as a counterweight to the spheres of influence of the three countries. In some contexts, the pursual of these goals has led to co-operation between the three countries, Caldia and Hennehouwe, with many publications referring to a "small state bloc" consisting of the five nations, yet the use of Alsbora as a political moniker has remained in modern discourse and is often extended to contexts such as the military policy of the ECDTO, where the three members are often considered more dovish and sceptical of military intervention.

Historical background

  • Post-Great War, Azmaran Realignment and Borish independence, Azmara and Borland begin close co-operation on many issues and "special relationship" formed.
  • Both nations are founding members of the United Nations of Euclea and the Euclean Community.
  • Alsbora probably forms as a thing when Alsland joins the EC in 1955 and I assume co-operation starts to be pursued.
  • More stuff
  • Workers' Party - Centrum - Progressive Alliance develop friendly relations despite Centrum's DM-PEC affiliation and the others SAE affiliation - in modern day good relations between Anasdohter, Hoven and Moeller notable.

Mikel Hankssun (18th March 1800 - 10th January 1876) was an Azmaran political leader, lawyer and statesman who served as the first President of Azmara between 1855 and 1867. A leading figure in the Revolution of 1855, he is viewed as one of the founders of republican Azmara alongside his political rival Jorś Wilhjâlmssun.

Ideologically an Azmaran nationalist and radical liberal, Hankssun sought to create a secular Azmaran nation unified by a shared cultural and linguistic heritage and ruled by a republican government inspired by the Seyresian principle of separation of powers and the principle of universal rights of man.
