[[File:Battle of Stormberg.jpg|thumb|250px|The [[Battle of Polovytsia]], 1911.]]
Growing discontent with Atmoran colonial rule in the [[Vosha Protectorate]] would see Vozhsk nationalists and republicans seize the cities of [[Mohilev]], [[Luhan]], and other major towns on 17 October 1904 during the [[Autumn Revolution]]. In response [[Governor-General of Vosha|Governor-General]] [[Willem Albert van Grysperre]] would deploy 6,500 [[Royal Voshan Marechaussee]] (KVM) to crush the revolution, with the KVM and [[Voshan Army]] troops managing to finally put the down the rebellion on 1 November 1904. Governor-General Grysperre's swift and brutal supression of the rebellion resulted in 1,468 dead, the high death toll would only embolden republicans who would win a landslide election in the [[Estates of Vosha]] in 19 August 1910. Vozhsk nationalists refused to give an oath of allegiance to the Queen of Vosha, resulting in none of the Vozhsky members of parliament taking their seats.
With nationalists barred from taking office, they would form the [[Douma Vozha]] and by February 1911 would form the [[National Army of Vozh|National Vozhsky Army]] (NVA) to defend the Douma from the colonial [[Voshan Army]]. The NVA on 7 January to the 26 March  1911 would defeat the [[Voshan Army]] at the [[Battle of Polovytsia]] seeing the [[First Voshan Army]] routed back to [[Koninginnewolde]]. Republican forces would assassinate the Governor-General with a car bomb on 6 February 1912. The Voshan colonial government was effectively taken under military rule after the assassination of the Governor-General. With [[Field Marshal (Atmora)|Field Marshal]] [[Leonard Claeys van Malfeyt]] of the [[Atmoran Army]] being made [[Governor-General of Vosha]] by Chancellor [[Matthijs Klement]]. The [[Army of Vosha]], would be enlarged with [[Atmoran Army]] forces swelling into the Vozhsky countryside with nearly three {{wpl|field army|field armies}} of 150,000 troops being sent into the Vosha Protectorate to finally put down the rebellion.
[[File:Night action between cruisers, probably at the Battle of Jutland, 31 May-1 June 1916 RMG PV3124.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Night action of the [[Battle of Kortgene]].]]
Governor-General Claeys brutal repression of the Vozhsky would see the [[Papyernya massacre]] orchestrated by the [[Royal Voshan Marechaussee]] on 23 May 1912 where 7,500 Vozsky men, women, and children were rounded up and executed by colonial forces for sheltering republicans. Claeys would further order nearly 1.3 million Vozhsky to be rounded up and put into {{wpl|concentration camps}} on the grounds of sedition. Claeys would attempt to demoralise and weaken the Vozhsky resolve by ordering 200,000 children to be taken by their families and sent to Atmoran orphanages.
However, with increasing crackdowns and the brutal supression of the Vozhsky would garner international backlash. Atmora was subject to an {{wpl|naval blockade}} by the [[Royal Castarcian Navy]], [[Imperial Aravean Navy]], and the [[Batavian Navy]] through August 1912 to the end of the war in September 1913. The [[Royal Castarcian Navy]] would defeat the [[Royal Atmoran Navy]]'s [[Royal Naval Forces Anemoisic Command|Anemoisic Fleet]] at the [[Battle of Kortgene]], cutting Atmora from it's colony in [[Mizuho]]. Additionally [[Aravea]] would by August 1913 send 70,000 troops to aid the National Vozhsky Army to push Atmora out of Vozh. Atmora ultimately would surrender, signing the [[Treaty of Lechtenstad]] on the 18 September 1913. Formally recognising Vozhsky independence, hower Atmora would retain some treaty cities.

[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-H12752, Godesberg, Münchener Abkommen, Vorbereitung.jpg|thumb|235px|Chancellor Geuzendam in Wismar, 1940]]
With increasing tensions between Atmora and Vozh, Atmoran Chancellor [[Louwrens van Geuzendam]] in the aftermath of the [[Prenzlau massacre]] in 17 April 1940 in the [[Lower Angara Region]] of Vozh. The Chancellor in [[Wismar]] together with Voshany and Atmoran leaders in northern Vozh proclaimed the formation of the [[Vosha Free State]] an Atmoran {{wpl|ethnostate}} in Vozh on 29 May 1940. Geuzendam ordered 250,000 troops to invade Vozh in [[Operation Northern Lights]] the following day of the proclamation to establish the free state. Protests from Vozh and [[Aravea]] on 3 June 1940 to remove all Atmoran troops from Vozh was ignored by Geuzedam under the guise of protecting the Atmoran Boers rights to self determination. For a year Atmora would occupy northern Vozh with President [[Mikalai Kuznetsov]] of the Vosha Free State hosting an Atmoran garrison.
At the [[Conference of Dal Riata]] in Aravea, Geuzendam would demand the Atmoran lands in western Vozh arguing that Atmora was wrongly depraved of it's territorial holdings in western and southern Vozh such as [[Kaštela]], [[Helsingburg]], [[Korsakov]], [[Koninginnewolde]], [[Polskaya Niamencany]], and [[Upper Silesia]]. Vozh and Aravea rejected Atmora's demands at the conference, Geuzendam decided to enforce his demands on 13 March 1941 invading Upper Silesia beginning the [[Summer War of 1941]]. Geuzendam would pass a series of legislation through the Parliament to clamp down on civil rights in Atmora and prosecute slavs in Vozh. By 1942 however discontent with the fascist regime would boil over with a series of revolts and most notably the [[High Queen's Putsch of 1942|High Queen's Putsch]] and the [[Asvarrese revolt of princes]]. By January 1942 the revolt against the [[National Solditary Movement]] (NSB) was fully underway with High Queen [[Katherine I of Atmora|Katherine I]] declaring the [[Castaliense Confederation]] denouncing the NSB government and joining the allies.
[[File:Katherine_I_VWIII.png|thumb|left|195px|High Queen [[Katherine I of Atmora|Katherine I]], leader of the [[Castaliense Confederation]].]]
With the [[Atmoran Civil War]] in full swing the NSB would lose the [[Aurician campaign]] with Katherine I waging a three year long war in [[Hesperia]] to liberate the nation from its fascist government. The Republicans would lose the battle of Memelburg in June 1944, leaving the Vosha Free State as a rump state. Allied forces would push deep into Atmora by 1945 with the Republicans fighting bitterly at the [[Battle of Novigrad]] and the [[Membruggen offensive of 1945|Membruggen offensive]] in the throughout the winter and summer of 1945. The allied offensive during [[Operation Bagration]] broke through the [[Membruggen line]] allowing the allies to enter Siletzen region. The High Queen would land her forces on the beaches of [[Ariën]] by the fall of 1945. Pressed on both sides and royalists forces liberating the Karth on February 1946 and heavy fighting in Siletzen Republican forces would be making their last stands.
However it wouldn't be until June 1946, when the High Queen ordered nearly 35,000 troops to enter Alexandria on 25 June. For two days royalists and republicans would fight in the streets of Alexandria as eastern allies took Koningstein in the province of Lieseltania. When the [[Atmoran Royal Guards]] reached the Chancellery on 26 June, the Republican Guards defeated. Chancellor Geuzendam was {{wpl|defenestration|defenestrated}} by Royal Guards from the second floor of the chancellery and dragged by car through the streets of Alexandria till he was hanged and burned at the [[High Queen's Square]]. The same day the High Queen would formally surrender to the allies, ordering all royalist and republican forces to stand down.

Atmora's judiciary system is based upon {{wpl|civil law}} divided between {{wpl|civil law}}, {{wpl|criminal law}}, and {{wpl|administrative law}}. For civil and criminal law the court is divided federally by districts courts of the [[Federal Courts of Assizes of Atmora|Federal Courts of Assizes]] (''Federale hof van assisen''), the only Atmoran courts to have a {{wpl|jury}} and the [[Federal Courts of Appeals of Atmora|Federal Courts of Appeals]] (''Federale hof van beroep''). The [[Supreme Court of Atmora]] (''Hooggerechtshof van Atmora'') is the highest and final court of appeal in Atmora overseeing civil, criminal, tax, and certain administrative cases. The Supreme Court is headed by the [[Presient of the Supreme Court of Atmora|President of the Supreme Court]] and 36 judges (''Raadsheren''). However the [[Federal Consitutional Court of Atmora]] (''Federale Grondwettelijk Hof''), is the supreme constitutional court along lower federal administrative courts.


===Law===
State courts are organised into judicial districts (''gerechtelijk arrondissement'') judicial cantons (''gerechtelijk kanton'') each having a {{wpl|Court of Cassation}} as the final court of appeal for civil, criminal, and tax cases.
{{See also|Crime in Atmora|List of law enforcement agencies in Atmora}}
 
With the end of the [[Atmoran Interior War]] in the 1998, [[Atmoran organised crime]], criminal organisations, and {{wpl|insurgents}} have seen a dramatic decrease wit many organised crime and insurgency happening in Northern Atmora and southwestern Atmora. Notably in 2007 the [[Financial Marechaussee]] arrested 109 members of the [[Mielanese Mafia]]. However, since the end of the Interior War, the [[Ministry of State Security (Atmora)|Ministry of State Security]] has largely brought organised crime under control.
 
As of 2016, Atmora's murder rate stood at 1.57 per 100,000. However due to the [[2016 Northern Atmoran insurgency]], crime rates have been the highest since the Interior War with most notably the [[2016 Novigrad metro bombing]] in which the [[Rijksfront]] killed 15 and injured a further 67 people. The High Queen invoked the [[Emergency Act of 1968]] and the [[National Security Act of 1978]] to address ongoing terrorism with [[Operation Sentinel]] and [[Operation Temperer]] a joint police-military task force to bring terrorism under control in March 2016.

As Aravea was a major contributor to the {{wpl|decolonisation}} of the [[Atmoran Empire]], leaving only [[Mizuho]] as the last remnants of the Empire. While Aravea and Atmora have begun talks over deescalation between the two states, the [[War of Ghelen]] as remained a continuing issue amongst the two states. Since the [[Aravean Civil War]] in 1863 till 1946, Atmora held onto the county of [[Ghelen]] as a {{wpl|Crown Colony}} of the Atmoran Empire. Following Atmora's defeat in the Third Voshan War, the county was granted indepedence from Atmora.

Atmora (/'ətmôrə/), officially the Atmoran Confederation (Dutch: Atmoraanse Statenbond), is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy laying in the western Halkeginia bordered to the East by Vozh and to the Southeast by Ryurik Rossiya, across the Castarcian Sea in the west by Castarcia. It includes 18 constituent states, covers an area of 8,444,958 square kilometres, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With about 253.2 million inhabitants, Atmora is the most populous states in Halkeginia and the Halkeginian Sea. After Aravea, it is the third most popular immigration destination in the world. Atmora's capital and second largest metropolis is Alexandria, while it's largest city is Pruzhana.


Etymology

While manying have debated the orgins of Atmora, the name is widely believed to have come from the Caerenic people in Brunna region of Lieseltania which they named "Allt Mór", meaning "Great Valley". By the time of the Lieseltan conquest of Atmora in 57 BCE later used the word Atmore to describe not only the Brunna region but the entire Atmoran continent. By the 14th century Luxian explorers later called it by Atmora.

History

Prehistory and antiquity

The first known human settlements in western Halkeginia, what is now modern-day Atmora, dates back 36,000 years ago. When the First Nations crossed the Sayan Mountains (Sayan-gebergte) into the modern day Voshagne region. As the First Nations people were driven out from their eastern Halkeginian lands by the large influx of Slavonic and Celtic peoples arriving through the land bridge between Halkeginia and Rohane.

One the earliest known civilisations in Atmora were the Salishans, a confederacy of Coast Salish and Interior Salish tribal groups who settled around the White Karth and Black Karth rivers. Around 2700 BCE the city of Somena was founded as the seat of the Salishan river civilisations in what is now modern-day Alphen aan den Karth, Lieseltania. The Salishans largely controlled what is now the modern-day Lieseltanian provinces of The Karth, Pruzhana, Wolf, and parts of the province of Siletzia. By 1700 CE the Tahkaht and the Tasekoans rebelled against the Salishans.

The Tahkaht civilisation was a confederacy of Nuu-chah-nulth and the Kwakwakaʼwakw centred around the city of Kitsuksis modern day Amstenrade, Lieseltania. The Tahkaht would end up controlling a most of the western Lieseltanian Peninsula and even parts of the Siletzian river valley. Fighting between the Tahkaht and the Salishans was common, especially for control over the Bay of Pruzhana, to secure trading routes with the east.

Around 901 CE the Old Lieseltanians and the Jarengans, two Slavic tribes from Vozh had crossed the Chukotka mountains. The Jarengans settled the north, establishing the city of Brunna and Castamere in 976 CE. The Jarengans were the first non-FNs peoples to have crossed the Diebal mountains into what is now the modern day provinces of Voznesenka and Kivalina. The Old Lieseltanians had settled around the Bay of Pruzhana establishing the city of Pruzhana in 908 CE. The Old Lieseltanians would remain under vassalage of the Salishans till the 11th century.

Around the turn of the 12th century Helgmundr Altmurasz a Gambrean explorer from Southern Auricia had left his homeland of Gambria (modern-day Batavia), hearing tales of men as tall as trees.

Aurician Atmora

Most of the southern Atmora and the entire Asvarrese peninsula were either under personal union or vassal states of John II, the King of Castile and Leon and the Halkeginian Emperor in 1387. Organised into the Fifteen Provinces in 1431 by Halkeginian Emperor Charles I of Hespira, along with the vassal states of the Principality of Wolf, Duchy of Lieseltania, Grand Duchy of the Karth, Principality of Randgriz, Duchy of Larsenburg, and the Principality of Vianen.

In 1524 the the Princiaplity of Wolf and the Duchy of Lieseltania merged into a single state known as the Grand Duchy of Wolf-Lieseltania, at the height of tensions between Grand Duke Jurgen II of Lieseltania and Halkeginian Emperor Phillip II of Hespira. Occured the Castenray massacare in which the Hespirese Army of Halkeginia in May 1524 had suppressed the rebellion of the Atmoran peasants in the County of Castenray in modern day Larsenburg. In which it is believed that almost 97% of the city of Castenray was destroyed. The Massacre of Castenray had left a great rift between the local Halkeginian lords and the Halkeginian Emperor's court in Madrid. By December 1527, Atmoran lords and princes had gathered at the Congress of Castelré in which they issued the Act of Abjuration beginging the Atmoran revolt against the Halkeginian Emperor. Two years later in 1529 the Halkeginian Emperor had responded to the Atmoran Act of Abjuration by sending the Hespirese Armada into the Bay of Pruzhana, shelling the city of Pruzhana in 17 May 1529.

Following the Battle of the Pruzhana Bay, the Grand Duchy of Wolf-Lieseltania, Principality of Randgriz, Duchy of Larsenburg, Principality of Vianen, Duchy of Huldenberg, and the Fifteen Provinces had declared independence from the Hespirese Empire in 21 May 1529 starting the War of Atmoran Independence.

War of Atmoran Indepedence and Wolfsche Empire

Francisco Tserclaes de Narváez, Aurician Viceroy of Lieseltania.

Following the Battle of Pruzhana Bay were the Lieseltanian Navy defeated the Hespirese Aramada, the Fifteen Provinces united into the United Atmoran States (Verenigde Atmoraanse Provinciën) were the Atmoran princes elected the senior most prince Jurgen II, Grand Duke of Lieseltania as the Stadhouder of the United Provinces at the States-Assembly in Pruzhana.

In 1532 after the battle of Pirna and the siege of Leiden the Aurician Army of Lieseltania had lost 7,600 men of it's original 10,000. Additionally with infighting amongst the Aurician nobles the Aurician Army didn't have the strength to mount an effective offense against the Staatse Leger. Heavily relying on local Atmoran lords to raise their banners to fight on the side of the Auricians.

With the death of Philip II, the Hespirese new stronger emperor had ascended the throne. The new emperor wishing to restore the honour of Hespira raised a new Army of Lieseltania of 89,200 men. Along with rebuilding the Aurician Armada to 270 galleys. In 27 April 1548 at the Battle of Metschozin the newly formed Army of Lieseltania had smashed the Staatse Leger, after the defeat at Metschozin the Auricians sacked Metschozin and Leidschendam. Relentlessly pursuing the fleeing Staatse Leger along with Jurgen II fled to the city of Bergen op Zoom. Emperor Phillip III laid siege to Bergen op Zoom in 17 May 1548. However, the siege was broken by Jurgen II.

While the victorious at Bergen op Zoom, Jurgen II's Staatse Leger was broken and couldn't hold off the Hespirese. Forcing the Lieseltanian rebels to flee to the Karmutzen mountains. With Jurgen II still alive, along with several of his generals. The rebellion continued on for another 23 years until the Peace of Melverre, ending the Forty Years' War. However, even with the war's end, the United Atmoran States were still dissatisfied that Hespira had kept the Southern provinces. Jurgen III had signed a treaty with the Hespirese Emperor to prevent a war to ensure that the Asvarrese Provinces would remain autonomous.

With the Hespirese kicked out of Atmora, the Fifteen states continued to exist under the United Atmoran States. However, the Atmoran States were dominated by the Grand Duchy of Lieseltania and the Wolfsgezinde faction of the States-Assembly. The tensions between the Wolfsgezinde and the Atmoran States Party were at the boiling point after the death of Grand Duke Frederik-Willem of Lieseltania in 1626. And the succession of his son William I, who took upon the title of King of Lieseltania. William I incorporated several small Atmoran states into the Lieseltanian Kingdom and even annexed several smaller states. Effectively Lieseltania had controlled the entire States-Assembly. Along with the King of Lieseltania owing vassalage to the Vyatichi Emperor. the States of Larsenburg, Huldenberg, Gallia, Brunswick, Guldenhof, and several smaller Western Atmoran states had felt as if they were still under the rule of Hespira.

This infighting and instability of the Atmoran States had boiled over into the Western Atmoran Revolts of 1657. Larsenburg, Huldenberg, Gallia, and Principality of Voshagne and Slavinia broke away from the United Atmoran States. In 1663 in the Peace of Novigrad, the United Atmoran States was dissolved.

National awakening and Voshan War

However, the Peace of Novigrad would not end the religious wars between the Atmoran states. Chiefly among the Kingdom of Lieseltania the leading protestant power and the Kingdom of Huldenberg the leading catholic power. Huldenberg seeking to eliminate the southern protestant states, had called upon the help of Emperor Constantine IV of the Vyatichi Empire in 1671 starting the Thirty Years' War lasting from June 1671 to May 1703. King William III of Lieseltania and King Louis II of Larsenburg along with the Brunswijk estates had signed the Treaty of Mentz allying against the Vyatichi Emperor and the catholic states.

During the aftermath of the Siege of Moeskroen and after Maurits van Wollenstein tot Woudenberg had defeated and captured the King Louis V of Gallia at the Battle of De Meulhoek in 1679. Had effectively knocked out the Kingdom of Gallia out of the war, allowing for the Royal Larsenburg Army and the Royal Lieseltanian Army to turn their attention to the southwestern regions of Huldenberg. By 1686 the Wolfic armies had pushed into and defeated Huldenberg at the Battle of Vorstenberg and the Battle of Solling, forcing the King Charles IV Gustaf of Huldenberg to sign the Treaty of Rhede in 1687.

Frederik Wolfraam van Walsteyn, Atmoran philosopher and historian.

With the Peace of Nerva, the 30 Years' War came to an end in June 1703. Granting the protestant states religious freedoms from the Vyatichi Empire. The Lieseltanian Empire granted former Huldenberg territories, along with the birth of Atmoran enlightenment following the peace of Nerva. Prominent philosophers such as the Larsenburg philospher Frederik Wolfraam van Walsteyn argued that the only way for true peace in Halkeginia was unified Atmoran state. Walsteyn depicted the collective struggle of the Atmoran people to free themselves from foreigners as a staple of an Atmoran identity. Walsteyn's writings for political and religious freedoms and his critique of the Hesperian and Vyatichi Empires as a scourage on Atmoran struggle for freedom. Spurned Atmoran nationalism, winning the support of the Atmoran princes. The ideas of the enlightenment and Walsteyn's writings, Queen Henrietta of Lieseltania, conquered the Voshagne and The Pale of Northern Vozh in the First Northern War and the First Voshan War.

King Charles VII of Huldenberg and King Boudewijn III of Gallia seeing the rise of Lieseltania in the First Brunswijk War in 1727. The Catholic states sought to weaken the fractured Lieseltanian Empire after the death of Lieseltanian King Frederick I, invading the smaller Atmoran states in Western Atmora. With Queen Henrietta occupied in Vozh, the Wolfic states could not prevent the Gallian-Huldenberg coalition from taking over the Atmoran states. With the Treaty of Sontra in 1729, Brunswijk had lost considerable amount of it's western and eastern territories to Huldenberg and Gallia.

By 1735, the Wolfic states invaded the Gallian Anschau province, intimating the Second Brunswijk War, with the Treaty of Virneburg of 1736 Brunswijk had regained the provinces of Anschau, and Ravensburg. However, shortly after the Brunswijk wars, the Congress of Castelré of 1739 sought to bring peace to Atmora. The Congress of Castelré brought about the Atmoran mediatisation in which smaller states were absorbed into the Atmoran states like Lieseltania, Brunswijk, Gallia, Asvarra, Huldenberg, Larsenburg, and Guldenhof.

Atmoran Confederation

The tumultuous era following the Queen Henrietta in April 1759 would see the resumption of wars between the Catholic and Protestant states in Halkeginia. Along with the further Lieseltanian pacification of the Voshan Eastern Marches saw the Vyatchi Empire largely being neutralised as a threat to the Atmoran states by 1793. However, the lingering remnants of the Vyatchi era in the Atmoran states would remain. Most notably in the Noorvik Confederation (Atmoraanse Eedgenootschap), catholic-led confederation under the Presidency of King Henry IV much to the ire of the protestant Wolfic states. The religious and political divide between the Catholic and protestant states created a rift in the Noorvik Confederation, leading to its eventual dissolution on 7 June 1796, lasting nearly 60 years from its conception. Lieseltania under Minister-President Jan-Willem Ruitenbach the Younger and King Frederick III wishing to restore the honour of Lieseltania and its prominence in Atmoran affairs established the Wolfische Tolverbond with the southern protestant states. With growing national revolutionary movements, the Atmoran revolutions of 1807 would push the limits of the Atmoran states to unification, posing the Atmoran question in the halls of state legislatures.

Queen Alexandra the Great, mother of the Atmorans.

The Huldenberg-led catholic confederation was in favour of the Klein-Atmoraanse richting (Lesser Atmoran solution), catholic dominated confederation of the Atmora excluding the Lieseltanian colonial holdings in Vozh, Mizuho, Myria, and in Ghelen. Which to prevent Lieseltania from dominating federal politics in the proposed confederation would call for the partition of Lieseltania into several smaller principalities. In contrast, the protestant states led by Lieseltania called from the Groot-Atmoraanse richting (Greater Atmoran solution) the creation of a pluralistic liberal democracy under the presidency of the Queen Alexandra of Lieseltania as Empress of the Atmorans. The disagreements in how a unified Atmoran state would be formed would lead to the Second Stakena War in May 1807 between Huldenberg and Lieseltania over the Stakena region. Brunswick would fight over the Sayn region with Huldenberg and Sayn-Ravenstein in the Third Saynian War in March 1808. Larsenburg and Gallia's deterioration in relations led to the Fourth Gallo-Larsenburg War in July 1808. Along with the December Revolution of 1809 in Vosha Protectorate instigated by Huldenberg against Lieseltanian-colonial rule.

Queen Alexandra of Lieseltania would solidify the Wolfische Southern Confederation seeing the interference in protestant affairs to create the Grand Army of Atmora (Grote Atmoraanse Leger) firing the first shot of the Atmoran Unification War at the Battle of Berching in Huldenberg on 13 December 1810. Using the liberal revolutionaries within the catholic states, Queen Alexandra would raise Landstorm citizen battalions to aide in the fight against the catholic states. Alexandra's Grand Army would fight against the catholic states for a year and a half, finally putting down the last catholic army at the Battle of Ravenswoud in 4 May 1812. During the formation of the Confederation under Queen Alexandra, the defeated catholic states would be placed under Lieseltanian military rule under a Rijksstadhouder (Lord Lieutenant of the Realm) to oversee the reconstruction of the catholic states. With the formation of the unified Atmoran state finally achieved under Alexandra the Great, there would be concessions made to the catholic liberals such as granting the title of High Queen of Atmora to Alexandra instead of Empress of the Atmorans as she had wished for. Along with Lieseltania losing its colonial holdings, with the Lieseltanian colonies being but under the administration of the Federal Parliament. Consequences of Lieseltania losing control over its colonies would be the Catholic calls for home rule for the colonies.

Alexandrine era

While there were domestic calls for home rule in Atmora, now High Queen Alexandra would put down numerous colonial revolts through the Atmoran colonial empire. After the Atmoran Unification War, Alexandra would put down the Vozhsk revolt of Princes, which started in 1810 and led by Prince Uladzimier Puzyna, where Alexandrine forces would capture Puzyna at the Battle of Kasicyna on 7 October 1815. With the capture of Prince Puzyna at Kasicyna, Governor-General Stijn Wolfkamp would execute Puzyna and 90 Vozhsk nobles and princes at Koninginnewolde. Wolfkamp would sign into effect the Eastern Marches Settlement Act of 1815, displacing nearly 100,000 Slavs in Vozh to make way for Atmoran settlement. Along with the Titles and Lands Deprivation Act of 1816, numerous quasi-independent Vozhsk princely states were abolished. Placing them under the administration of the Vozhsk Generality Lands under the direct control of the Governor-General. Additionally, in the Mizuryū rebellion of 1815 led by Mizuhese noble Mizuryū Yoshinori against Atmoran colonial rule in 17 March 1815. The Mizuryū clan and the noble families that rose in rebellion against the Atmoran crown would be deported to the Atmoran Myrian colonies of Fusang, Chishima, and Shīan.

By 1840, at the height of the Alexandrine era under High Queen Alexandra, she would solidify her control over Myria and Halkeginia, ushering in the golden era of the Atmoran Confederation. The colonies provided resources and goods to rebuild the wartorn Atmoran states. The expansion of the Atmoran colonial empire and the establishment of the Royal Atmoran Navy would challenge Castarcian naval supremacy in the Halkeginian Sea for the first time in centuries. After the death of High Queen Alexandra and the reign of High Queen Juliette-Alexandra under Chancellor Jan-Douwe De Bruijne, Atmora would intervene in the Aravean Civil War on March 1861. With Chancellor De Bruijne backing the Kingdom of Svjea against the Kingdoms of Reinvel and Amestris contributing nearly 85,000 troops to Svjea and the Atmoran Northern Fleet, Atmora would annex the county of Ghelen from Reinvel.

Under the chancellorship of Jan-Douwe De Bruijne would mark the beginning of political reform in the confederation. Curbing the political power of the High Queen granting further powers to the Federal Parliament. However, serious political reform in the colonies, most notably in the Vosha Protectorate, wouldn't be granted till the chancellorships of Magnus Alexander Ronitz and Christoph Jonathan Brosschott in the 1870s. The deterioration of relations with Aravea and Castarcia under Chancellor Michiel Rengers de Bruguière in the waning days of the 19th century would mark the undoing of the Alexandrine era.

Second Voshan War

Growing discontent with Atmoran colonial rule in the Vosha Protectorate would see Vozhsk nationalists and republicans seize the cities of Mohilev, Luhan, and other major towns on 17 October 1904 during the Autumn Revolution. In response Governor-General Willem Albert van Grysperre would deploy 6,500 Royal Voshan Marechaussee (KVM) to crush the revolution, with the KVM and Voshan Army troops managing to finally put the down the rebellion on 1 November 1904. Governor-General Grysperre's swift and brutal supression of the rebellion resulted in 1,468 dead, the high death toll would only embolden republicans who would win a landslide election in the Estates of Vosha in 19 August 1910. Vozhsk nationalists refused to give an oath of allegiance to the Queen of Vosha, resulting in none of the Vozhsky members of parliament taking their seats.

With nationalists barred from taking office, they would form the Douma Vozha and by February 1911 would form the National Vozhsky Army (NVA) to defend the Douma from the colonial Voshan Army. The NVA on 7 January to the 26 March 1911 would defeat the Voshan Army at the Battle of Polovytsia seeing the First Voshan Army routed back to Koninginnewolde. Republican forces would assassinate the Governor-General with a car bomb on 6 February 1912. The Voshan colonial government was effectively taken under military rule after the assassination of the Governor-General. With Field Marshal Leonard Claeys van Malfeyt of the Atmoran Army being made Governor-General of Vosha by Chancellor Matthijs Klement. The Army of Vosha, would be enlarged with Atmoran Army forces swelling into the Vozhsky countryside with nearly three field armies of 150,000 troops being sent into the Vosha Protectorate to finally put down the rebellion.

Night action of the Battle of Kortgene.

Governor-General Claeys brutal repression of the Vozhsky would see the Papyernya massacre orchestrated by the Royal Voshan Marechaussee on 23 May 1912 where 7,500 Vozsky men, women, and children were rounded up and executed by colonial forces for sheltering republicans. Claeys would further order nearly 1.3 million Vozhsky to be rounded up and put into concentration camps on the grounds of sedition. Claeys would attempt to demoralise and weaken the Vozhsky resolve by ordering 200,000 children to be taken by their families and sent to Atmoran orphanages.

However, with increasing crackdowns and the brutal supression of the Vozhsky would garner international backlash. Atmora was subject to an naval blockade by the Royal Castarcian Navy, Imperial Aravean Navy, and the Batavian Navy through August 1912 to the end of the war in September 1913. The Royal Castarcian Navy would defeat the Royal Atmoran Navy's Anemoisic Fleet at the Battle of Kortgene, cutting Atmora from it's colony in Mizuho. Additionally Aravea would by August 1913 send 70,000 troops to aid the National Vozhsky Army to push Atmora out of Vozh. Atmora ultimately would surrender, signing the Treaty of Lechtenstad on the 18 September 1913. Formally recognising Vozhsky independence, hower Atmora would retain some treaty cities.

Interbellum

Fascist Atmora and the Third Voshan War

Chancellor Geuzendam in Wismar, 1940

With increasing tensions between Atmora and Vozh, Atmoran Chancellor Louwrens van Geuzendam in the aftermath of the Prenzlau massacre in 17 April 1940 in the Lower Angara Region of Vozh. The Chancellor in Wismar together with Voshany and Atmoran leaders in northern Vozh proclaimed the formation of the Vosha Free State an Atmoran ethnostate in Vozh on 29 May 1940. Geuzendam ordered 250,000 troops to invade Vozh in Operation Northern Lights the following day of the proclamation to establish the free state. Protests from Vozh and Aravea on 3 June 1940 to remove all Atmoran troops from Vozh was ignored by Geuzedam under the guise of protecting the Atmoran Boers rights to self determination. For a year Atmora would occupy northern Vozh with President Mikalai Kuznetsov of the Vosha Free State hosting an Atmoran garrison.

At the Conference of Dal Riata in Aravea, Geuzendam would demand the Atmoran lands in western Vozh arguing that Atmora was wrongly depraved of it's territorial holdings in western and southern Vozh such as Kaštela, Helsingburg, Korsakov, Koninginnewolde, Polskaya Niamencany, and Upper Silesia. Vozh and Aravea rejected Atmora's demands at the conference, Geuzendam decided to enforce his demands on 13 March 1941 invading Upper Silesia beginning the Summer War of 1941. Geuzendam would pass a series of legislation through the Parliament to clamp down on civil rights in Atmora and prosecute slavs in Vozh. By 1942 however discontent with the fascist regime would boil over with a series of revolts and most notably the High Queen's Putsch and the Asvarrese revolt of princes. By January 1942 the revolt against the National Solditary Movement (NSB) was fully underway with High Queen Katherine I declaring the Castaliense Confederation denouncing the NSB government and joining the allies.

With the Atmoran Civil War in full swing the NSB would lose the Aurician campaign with Katherine I waging a three year long war in Hesperia to liberate the nation from its fascist government. The Republicans would lose the battle of Memelburg in June 1944, leaving the Vosha Free State as a rump state. Allied forces would push deep into Atmora by 1945 with the Republicans fighting bitterly at the Battle of Novigrad and the Membruggen offensive in the throughout the winter and summer of 1945. The allied offensive during Operation Bagration broke through the Membruggen line allowing the allies to enter Siletzen region. The High Queen would land her forces on the beaches of Ariën by the fall of 1945. Pressed on both sides and royalists forces liberating the Karth on February 1946 and heavy fighting in Siletzen Republican forces would be making their last stands.

However it wouldn't be until June 1946, when the High Queen ordered nearly 35,000 troops to enter Alexandria on 25 June. For two days royalists and republicans would fight in the streets of Alexandria as eastern allies took Koningstein in the province of Lieseltania. When the Atmoran Royal Guards reached the Chancellery on 26 June, the Republican Guards defeated. Chancellor Geuzendam was defenestrated by Royal Guards from the second floor of the chancellery and dragged by car through the streets of Alexandria till he was hanged and burned at the High Queen's Square. The same day the High Queen would formally surrender to the allies, ordering all royalist and republican forces to stand down.

Interior War

The new government under Chancellor Pieter-Bas Peusschers attempting to abide by the Treaty of Leidschenveen imposed by the victorious powers of Vozh and Aravea began the demobilisation of the Atmoran Armed Forces on the 7 May 1946. With the Atmoran Armed Forces reduced back to a peace-standing force of 500,000 active personnel in the military, along with the demobilisation of the Korps Landstorm battalions. Govert Metz formed the National People's Union an armed fascist paramilitary group to reestablish the Republic of Atmora and the overthrow of the High Queen Katherine I. Communist groups in Atmora seeing that the Atmoran Army and National Marechaussee lack of action towards the rearmament of fascist paramilitary elements in Atmora, began to mobilise to resist the fascist.

However prominent communist Albert Weggemans who served in the Secret State Army during the liberation of Atmora by royalist forces in 1945. Instead proposed to the Atmoran Communist Party that now is the time for revolutionary action to overthrow the bourgoise and the Federal Princes. With these calls for armed revolution against the state and the fascist holdouts, the National People's Defence Force sought to establish the Socialist Republic of Atmora in 19 August 1950.

Government and politics

Katherine II, High Queen of Atmora
Princess Weiss van der Schnee, Chancellor of Atmora


Atmora is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. High Queen Katherine II is the monarch and head of state of Atmora, considered first-among-equals among the eighteen Federal princes of the Atmoran states. The monarch is the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Atmoran government. The monarch's powers is limited and in practice, the use of the executive powers is directed by the Cabinet. The cabinet is responsible to the elected Parliament of Atmora and chosen and headed by the chancellor (at present Weiss van der Schnee), the head of government. The monarch may, though, in certain crisis situations exercise their power without ministerial advice. The monarch in practice normally appoints the leader of the party that can obtain the confidence of a plurality in the House of Representatives of Atmora.

The monarch under the constitution can only appoint ministers of the Crown, military officers, public offices, and so forth. However nominally appointments by royal decree are given by the Privy Council in the name of the monarch.

Legislative

Legislative power is divided between the federal and state goverments. Federally legislative power is invested into the bicameral Federal Parliament of Atmora consisting of the lower house, the House of Representatives and the upper house, the Senate. The House of Representatives with 548 members of parliament directly elected every five years for single-member electoral districts using single transferable vote. District seats are allocated on the basis of the population of the states. In the Senate, there are 214 senators; 175 senators are directly voted by their states. Along with 39 co-opted senators, senators voted by their peers directly into the senate. The co-opted senators are voted in for their expertise and as representatives of the various communities in Atmora. The co-opted senatorial seats are divided proportionally with the federal election results.

Federally, Atmora has been largely dominated by two centrist parties the centre-left Liberals and the centre-right Conservatives. However the two social democratic parties the New Democrats (NDP) and the Social Democratic Worker's Party (SDAP) have formed opposition governments and their own successful governments in the past. There is currently nine parties represented in the House of Representatives; the Liberals, the Conservatives, the New Democrats, the Social Democratic Worker's Party, the Christain Union, the Christain Social People's Union, the New Voshany Alliance, the Liberal Democrats, and the People's Interest Party.

Executive

  • Executive: the Privy Council and the Council of Ministers, are in which executive powers are exercised. With the Chancellor and Cabinet being appointed members of both the Privy Council and Council of Ministers by the monarch.

Law

Atmora's judiciary system is based upon civil law divided between civil law, criminal law, and administrative law. For civil and criminal law the court is divided federally by districts courts of the Federal Courts of Assizes (Federale hof van assisen), the only Atmoran courts to have a jury and the Federal Courts of Appeals (Federale hof van beroep). The Supreme Court of Atmora (Hooggerechtshof van Atmora) is the highest and final court of appeal in Atmora overseeing civil, criminal, tax, and certain administrative cases. The Supreme Court is headed by the President of the Supreme Court and 36 judges (Raadsheren). However the Federal Consitutional Court of Atmora (Federale Grondwettelijk Hof), is the supreme constitutional court along lower federal administrative courts.

State courts are organised into judicial districts (gerechtelijk arrondissement) judicial cantons (gerechtelijk kanton) each having a Court of Cassation as the final court of appeal for civil, criminal, and tax cases.

With the end of the Atmoran Interior War in the 1998, Atmoran organised crime, criminal organisations, and insurgents have seen a dramatic decrease wit many organised crime and insurgency happening in Northern Atmora and southwestern Atmora. Notably in 2007 the Financial Marechaussee arrested 109 members of the Mielanese Mafia. However, since the end of the Interior War, the Ministry of State Security has largely brought organised crime under control.

As of 2016, Atmora's murder rate stood at 1.57 per 100,000. However due to the 2016 Northern Atmoran insurgency, crime rates have been the highest since the Interior War with most notably the 2016 Novigrad metro bombing in which the Rijksfront killed 15 and injured a further 67 people. The High Queen invoked the Emergency Act of 1968 and the National Security Act of 1978 to address ongoing terrorism with Operation Sentinel and Operation Temperer a joint police-military task force to bring terrorism under control in March 2016.

Constituent states

Atmora is a federation of eighteen constituent states. These states consitent of kingdoms, grand duchies, duchies, and principalities. States are then divided into provinces (provinciën), which then are divided into arrondissements (arrondissementen), then further down into municipalities (gemeenten). States of Asvarre, Alsatia, and Lippe on the Asvarrese peninsula are divided into arrondissements and municipalities.

Foreign Relations

Atmora is recognised as a regional power within Halkeginia and greater Halkeginian Sea area. Due to it's massive military and economic size in comparison to it's neighbouring nations. Under the Chancellorship of Lysithea van Hresvelg, Atmora has sought close ties and intergation with it's neighbours. Funding massive infrastucture projects like the Pan-Halkeginian Railway, the International H-Autobaan Network, Castarcian Sea Tunnel, the Halkeginian Sea Tunnel. Atmora wishes to establish the Halkeginian Union with Castarcia, Vozh, Hespira, Mizuho, and Ryurik Rossiya however meets significant roadblocks in uneasiness of suspected Atmoran dominnance over such an Supranational union.

One the greatest challengers of Atmoran influence in Halkeginia is Aravea, who sees Atmora's rise of influence in Halkeginia as a threat to Aravea's interests within the region. As result these two great powers are locked within a cold war with one another. Ever since the end of the Third Voshan War, Atmora has felt as if Aravea is trying to contain Atmora within their own borders. As Aravea was a major contributor to the decolonisation of the Atmoran Empire, leaving only Mizuho as the last remnants of the Empire. While Aravea and Atmora have begun talks over deescalation between the two states, the War of Ghelen as remained a continuing issue amongst the two states. Since the Aravean Civil War in 1863 till 1946, Atmora held onto the county of Ghelen as a Crown Colony of the Atmoran Empire.
