Federation of the Alezian Union or more commonly called as the Alezian Union, located on a pack of islands located on the center of the Pacific Ocean between Japan and the United States. The nation holds a population of 332,458,782. The Alezian Union has 4 regions, with each region holding 6 sub-regions, making a total of 24 sub-regions.

The Alezian Union was considered as a developed country even after facing the hardships of reunification. As a muslim majority country, the Alezian Union has been deemed by the international community as a mouthpiece of the Islamic Community to the West and vice versa, acting as a strong middlepoint between the two community, being a member of both the OIC and OECD. The country is also a member of APEC.

Etymology

The name "Alezia" comes from an ancient Alezian word "Ali'icha'a'i" which means "I Found It". This word allegedly came from a shout of someone who was predicted to come from the Polynesian Islands. However, the word was made up and thus has no relation to any language of the Polynesian Islands.

The original word itself was contested previously. Some say "Ali'cha'a'i" "Ali'i'i'a'i" "A'i'cha'a'i" and many variations of the word. However, after referring to a written artifact of an Ancient Alezian Story called "The Life That Founds", the National History Committee of North Alezia (predecessor to the National History Committee of the Alezian Union) in 2009 added with consideration and agreement by Native Alezian Leaders of Dadon and Salem suggested and cemented that the actual word that was shouted is "Ali'icha'a'i" which remain in use to this day.

Previously, the name "Alezia" was used even from the start of the colonial era, where colonial powers would use terms such as "British Alezia" (North Alezia), "Dutch Alezia" (South Alezia), "French Alezia" (Pantabang Islands, later divided between Britain and Netherlands), and "Russian Alezia" (Mosin-Nagan and Pyalivostok-Daya Island, North Alezia, later given to Britain).

History

Founding of the Alezian Isles (around 100 - 1427 AD)

Not much is known about the people who settled in what would now become the Alezian Union. However, it was said that the ancestors of the Native Alezian people has ancestral connections to the people living on the Pacific Isles. However, there hasn't been an exact known location of where did the first group people that would be 1st generation Alezians came from. However, it can be speculated that since the language of Alezian has connection to Hawaiian, it can be speculated that there's a probability of Alezian ancestors coming from Hawai'i. However, there are other speculations saying that the first peoples came from somewhere in what would now become Indonesia instead.

It was speculated that it was a fishing boat from the Pacific who faced a terrible storm that founded the Isles as an Ancient Alezian story that ran mouth-to-mouth says so. The boat was said to contain a family of a man and his wife, and their four kids including one who was a baby. Legend says that the family ran from their previous homes due to an unknown reason, the largest speculation being due to rejection from their previous community. The name of all of the family members are still unknown to this day.

When the family reached land, the man shouted "Ali'icha'a'i" at the scene of an empty island, not yet touched by man. The family docked in the beach on what would become A'u'cha Dock in A'na'au'i, Bucinnois (Northern Main Island), Pantabang Islands. This is the reason why Native Alezians wanted to live in the Pantabang Islands.

According to the legend, when word spread about an island that accepts and welcomes people of all kinds, who are rejected because of the wrong reasons, people flock into the isles and build a community in the isles. After the settlement in the Pantabang Islands was found, people continue to find other lands to settle, where they found the other lands of North Alezia and South Alezia.

It was speculated that there are 1,175,000 native people spread around the Alezian Isles before 1427 AD.

Asian and Buginese Merchants Arrival (1427-1580 AD)

Around 1427 AD, the native Alezians started to receive outside contact from merchants who come from East Asia. However, there are minimal proof of their arrival in the Alezian Isles.

In 1526 AD, another ship had to face a terrible storm on their way to China, which forced them to dock in the Alezian Isles. It was a group of merchants coming from the Sultanate of Bone in what would now become South Sulawesi, Indonesia. When they arrived, the native Alezians welcomed them and let them stay in their own house until they're ready to go home.

It was storied that when the Buginese returned to their home in Bone and telling stories of how they were so impressed by the hospitality of the Alezians even if they don't understand what the Alezians are trying to say a lot of the times, the king of Bone which at the time was La Tenrisukki, Mappajunge ordered the Buginese Merchants at that time to return to Alezia and teach them how to trade and to help them build what would now become Oldport in Zafizamarrah, North Alezia.

In the present, the Alezian Union and the Regency of Bone in Indonesia remained in close contacts.

Muslim Merchants Arrival (1580-1700 AD)

Around 1580 AD, Muslim Merchants started to arrive in what would now become Oldport-Newport, ZF, NA to start trade with the Native Alezians. At that time, the Muslim world knew of the Alezians commodity of spices and fish. When they arrive from the Middle East after their stop in China, while also trading, Islam was also start being spread around the Isles. Ibn Hasma who was the leading merchant of the Muslims asked the joint chiefs of the native Alezians about if they can settle in the land as long as they promise to keep the peace around the isles.

The chief council agreed, and the Muslims established Zafizamarrah (coming from the Alezian word of Cha'i'cha'a'ma'pa) as its settlement. Around this time, the spread of Islam was succesfully initiated, using apporaches of Native Alezian art and culture to spread the word. The chiefs of Ka'upa'i, Na'a'pi, Dadon, and Salem converted to Islam and with the agreement of the chiefs of Ancic and Makarina who kept their beliefs, the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah was established in 1700 AD with the leader being A'una'i of Salem, who later changed her name to be Aminah Salem, and would become Aminah I.

Sultanate of Zafizamarrah (1700-1800 AD)

With Zafizamarrah as it's capital, the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah started to grow with an increasably noticeable power in trade. Around this time, there are noticeable increase in amounts of merchants coming from around the world, especially from the Middle East, China, and Europe. European interest increased due to news being spread about the high quality of Alezian spices, tea, and coffee.

While the Sultanate declared Arabic as their official language, the language of Alezian was preserved although it was rewritten so it could cater to the Arabic alphabet.

While the Sultanate implement Islamic laws from the start, the Merchants of Middle East recalled that the way the law was implemented in Zafizamarrah was very relaxed, for example, there are almost no women that covered up, except for those in Pyalivostok who had to due to the cold temperature.

In 1750, the Sultanate decided to carve the Sultanate into two regions in order to ease administration. It was divided by the center location of the Pantabang Islands, resulting in North and South Alezia. Historians speculated that this is the first time that an idea of "North and South Alezia" existed for the very first time. Both regions had different functions. South as the "protector" of the Sultanate and North as the "representative" of the Sultanate.

In 1753, a merchant by the name of Muhammad Na'ua'i Ancic was sent to the faraway lands of the Na'api tribe who was having a tribal civil war due to disagreements on how they shall rule their forests. The merchant mediated the conflict and while both decided to stay at the Sultanate of Zafizamarrah, with approval of the Palace and M.N. Ancic, the Na'ua'i decided to be divided into two to the Mosin tribe and Nagan tribe, creating a new land called Mosin and Nagan.

In 1773, with the death of Aminah III, the Sultanate started to decline, and European powers started to meddle into the Sultanate's affairs. And in 1799 the joint European powers of Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Russia jointly attacked the Sultanate from all sides, forcing the Sultanate to surrender 3 months later and to sign the 1800 Treaty of Zafizamarrah (1st of January 1800) which ended the Sultanate and carved the Alezian Isles into four parts.

European Colonization (1800 AD - 1958 AD)

After the Treaty of Zafizamarrah was signed, the Isles were divided into four. The British holds all of Northern Alezia except for Pyalivostok, The Russians holds the lands of Mosin and Nagan and Pyalivostok, The French holds all of Pantabang Islands, and the Dutch holds all of Southern Alezia.

Initially, the four works nicely around each other, with all of them getting started on spreading Christianity in the Alezian Union. However, they only manage to convert small bits of the population with the most noticeable being in the land of Nagan, Pyalivostok, and Bristol.

Around this time, Jewish merchants settled in what would become Tel Hadiv and Yezateinu. Then a year after that, Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese, German, and Dutch merchants settled in what would become Aramna, making joint families and a new language jumbled from all of the settlers' languages. This created North Alezia's diversity. In Mosin and Nagan itself there are noticeable amount of people of Georgian descent moving into the territory, creating a community where they speak Georgian in what people now call Trishi.

Due to a disease spread by the Europeans around the era of early colonialization, the tribe of Ka'u'api lost almost 80% of its population, nowadays going extinct. In French Alezia, Bucinnois get to keep it's name, but changed its spelling instead to cater to French-speaking people.

French and Russian colonization didn't last long, however. The Russian Empire pulled out of the Alezian Isles in 1822 due to economic issues and gave both "Mosin and Nagan" and Pyalivostok to the British. Then in 1827 France pulled out due to similiar economic reason. However, the French forgot to tell Britain and the Netherlands on who could claim the Pantabang Islands. This caused a strain in the two and thus on 13th of June 1822, the British declared war on the Dutch over the Alezian Isles. Both countries agreed to not bring the war to Europe, only keeping it in the Alezian Isles. The war resulted in a stalemate and resulted in both countries agreeing to divide the Pantabang Islands in two according to the centerpoint where the previous Sultanate of Zafizamarrah pointed.

After the war everything returned to normal, with the British adding an expansion to the previously build Oldport, resulting in what would now become the Oldport-Newport of Zafizamarrah. Both colonial powers competed against each other in order to dominate resources and trade in the Isles which was considered as a lucrative route.

Both colonies were involved in both World War 1 and World War 2 where both of the region's resources were used to support the allies in both wars. In World War 2 specifically, both British and Dutch Alezia worked together to protect the Isles from Japanese invasion. When the war was won, both Britain and Netherlands agreed to give both colonies independence at least 15 years after 1945.

North Alezians initially refused to let the British administration go since they felt that they've been treated well by the British and even asked London to let them stay in the United Kingdom as an equal constituent country just like England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. However, this proposal was rejected due to the difference of culture and the far distance between the two lands, and thus North Alezia reluctantly accepted independence.

South Alezians took the time to focus on being independent, supported by the Dutch on the process. And at the 23rd of February 1958, both countries are declared independent with both colonial powers even supporting reunification between the two.

North and South Before 1988 (1958-1988)

After both countries were declared independent, both worked on the effort of being a single country again. However, a coup in Zafizamarrah forced North Alezia to install a dictatorship led by a dynasty of the Iliya Family. Around this era, censorship was tight, quality of life plumetted, and Zafizamarrah lost its reputation as a formidable trade town. The Family only allows international trade with the United Kingdom.

In the South, the people of South Alezia lost interest on reunification and instead focus on developing on their own using the money that the Dutch granted them. Due to this, the economy of South Alezia initially outran the North by 10:1. While North Alezia suffered, South Alezia flourished and being the attention of the world for being one of the fastest growing nations in the world with Japan as its rival. Around this time South Alezia closed the land border in Pantabang Islands, dividing the island into two.

This situation stays and due to the conditions in North Alezia getting worse, in 1976 the Iliya Family started asking South Alezia for reunification which they rejected due to the fear that North Alezia could plummet their economy down. They tried again in 1978 and 1980 but it was still met with rejection.

From the 1980s, North Alezia started to open up to the world although still in a limited amount. Reforms were start being made, and political opposition led by Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody started being initiated. And after the leader at the time, Mika'il Iliya announced a two year conscription plan, North Alezians took it to the streets and protested. In 23rd of February 1988, The Iliya Family fell and Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody quickly put plans to put North Alezia back on track. Around this time, the Family tried to split and escape to Mosin-Nagan and Northern Pantabang Islands however both sections are captured and arrested immediately.

North and South After 1988 (1988-2021)

Around the same time, government overspending on unnecessary project started to bring outrage upon the people of South Alezia, who also protested and also toppled down their government. Due to the instability however, General Hoojvinken who was the Head General of the South Alezian military started sabotaging the process of government handover and took the position as the Premier of South Alezia instead. He installed a Military Dictatorship with him being on the top. Around this time, he started designing military weapons that can talk and are sentient using toys and inanimate objects, when this is a success, the objects are used as a guarding tool against the South Alezian people who had to move underground or escape to North Alezia. The military government at this era continued the tradition of overspending and destroying the South Alezian economy even to the point of asking debts to North Alezia.

In North Alezia, Premier Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody quickly implemented Liberal economic measures and quickly fixed the quality of life in North Alezia. In just one year of his leadership the economic situation reversed with North Alezia leading over South Alezia in economy by 33:1. Around this era North Alezia started to push for Reunification again but on a more confident note. However, this was still met with rejection by the military government. As time progressed, North Alezia started to become strong economically again and Zafizamarrah returned as a strong trade point.

Around this time, however, conflicts arised between the people of Dadon and Salem in the North and Ancic and Makarina in the South starting from 27th of May 2001 to 16th of April 2004. When the government of North Alezia tried to bring South Alezia into the discussion table in order to find a solution to reduce the conflict, South Alezia rejected, and North Alezia had no choice but to lead discussions themselves. The results of the discussion resulted in peace (but still hostile relations) between Northern and Southern Pantabang Islands and reopened discussions towards reunification, adding The Reunification of the Pantabang Islands and the Native Alezian people as a reason. This opened a council called The Reunification Council in which North Alezia, South Alezia (who reluctantly agreed to discussion due to the fear of having their aid cut), Mosin-Nagan and Pantabang Islands discuss about a new unified Alezia. This council lasts from 2004 to 2021.

Reunification (2021-present)

Starting from January 2021, South Alezians who escaped to North Alezia and North Alezians themselves started initiating a coup d'etat towards the Military Government of South Alezia. South Alezia who had been hiding underground also started to defeat the guards of the government by various methods. The North Alezian Government showed their support much later in April.

In 5th of April 2021 the Military Government surrendered, much to the celebrations of the Alezians. The celebration of reunification even prompted Mosin and Nagan to forget their differences and reunify again as "Mosin-Nagan" much to the surprise of North Alezia who thought they won't reunify since they already got tribal and religious (Mosin with Islam and Nagan with Christianity) between them.

After that and a quick declaration by North Alezia's premier Sa'idah Mahmudaisyah for the world to prepare for the Alezian Union, Discussions was quickly initiated between North Alezia, the newly made "Liberation Group of South Alezia for Reunification" led by eventual council member Mahmud Bergen, Mosin-Nagan, and the Pantabang Islands throughout the two first weeks of April. Around that time there was even a proposal to reinstall the Sultanate, however, the descendant of the Sultanate refused due to private reasons.

After the new council and cabinet are established with the Parliament elected democratically through an election later in the year and foreign relations reestablished, on 1st of May 2021 with the witness of Alezians and numerous international delegations, the Alezian Union was established.

Government and Politics

According to the Political Definition decided by the Government of the Alezian Union, the Alezian Union is a "bicameral parliamentary full-democracy state". The Political Culture of the Alezian Union mostly emphasize on human rights and social justice which was written in full detail inside the nation's constitution, thus becoming the principles of the Alezian Union.

In the Alezian Union, government was divided into two. The Upper House of the Government is called the "National Council of the Alezian Union" which is a five-member house (four leaders of each region plus the Premier) which works as a representative of all regions directly to the Premier of the Alezian Union who approves laws and occasionally would even propose it themselves.

The lower house is called the "National Parliament of the Alezian Union" which works as the representative of the nation's public who proposes and votes on laws before bringing it to the National Council for inspection and final approval.

In the National Parliament, while the nation has not held a Parliamentary Election (which would be held in around November-December this year), the politics of the nation had been dominated by the central-left parties of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Meme Party who was under one coalition even back when both parties used to be represented in the Parliament of North Alezia. Other parties in the same coalition as LIBDEM and MEME include Internationalist and the Greens. Meanwhile the opposition of right-wing parties includes the Patriots, the Nationalists, and the Joint Conservative List. Between these coalitions sat a third wheel which is the Socialist-Labour Party.

The National Parliament was currently divided into 443 seats accordingly distributed for the four regions where North Alezia received 155 seats, South Alezia received 158 seats, Pantabang Islands received 89 seats, and Mosin-Nagan received 41 seats. According to the rules, the allocation for North and South Alezia was decided by dividing the population into constituencies of 1,000,000 people each, where Pantabang Islands and Mosin Nagan due to its small population was divided into constituencies of 100,000 people each.

The Alezian Union's federal structure was divided into the four regions of the Alezian Union and further divided with each region divided into six sub-regions.

Law

The Constitution of the Alezian Union which was the supreme law of the Alezian Union was completed in 2021, where the constitution took inspiration mostly from North Alezia's old constitution, added with South Alezia's pre-military dictatorship constitution, Regional Constitution of Mosin-Nagan and Native Alezian Laws of Pantabang Islands.

The Alezian judiciary is lead by the High Court of the Alezian Union which has the power to implement and strike down acts of parliament. In the Alezian system of court, the nation uses Common Law. The Criminal Law of the Alezian Union applies union wide.

The Native Alezian Laws of Pantabang Islands itself was updated into the Native Alezian Laws. The laws contain nature preservation, land protection, protection of the Alezian language, et cetera.

Foreign Affairs

The Alezian Union is considered as a middle power in diplomatic affairs. The nation itself implemented an internationalist policy where the Alezian Union emphasize on openness, transparency, and humanity over personal affairs. The Alezian foreign policy emphasize on helping nations affected by a humanitarian crisis, and using diplomacy as "the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th solution".

In the past, due to the closed society that encircled North Alezia, even under the pressure of Britain, North Alezia never joined the United Nations until 15th of May 1990. South Alezia already joined since 5th of August 1958 and continued to do so until reunification. North Alezia itself only started to boost its reputation internationally as late as 2020

The Alezian Union inherited North Alezia's position as a member of the OECD, G20, and APEC. The nation remained active in those organizations to this day.

As a country with a Muslim-majority population, the Alezian Union earned OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) membership in 2021 continuing from North Alezia (who entered in 1989) and South Alezia (who entered in 2006). As a country who implemented liberal laws and policies, the Alezian Union usually acted as a middleman between the West and the OIC. However, previously, North Alezia was under criticism in the organization for "aligning themselves too far to the West" and due to it's social policies which some members of OIC deemed as "Un-Islamic" and "Blasphemous". However, even with the criticism, the Alezian Union was praised and applauded in the OIC for representing Islam in the modern era.

The Alezian Union opened a joint cooperation with Carrelie, Waisnor, and Malta Comino Gozo in 2021.

Regions, Sub-regions, and Territories

Administrative Map of the Alezian Union

The Alezian Union is a federation consisting of four regions and two territories. Each regions in themselves has six sub-regions contained inside. A region has larger autonomy and position in the government compared to a territory. A territory according to the rules do not have parliamentary representation, however, a territory is dependant on a region on its needs. Each region earns autonomy on responsibility for social services such as health services, education, safety, and other aspects using the help of the Federal Government in Zafizamarrah.

Currently, there are numerous proposals for new regions to join into the Alezian Union, such as a suggestion for North Alezia to release Daya Island from Pyalivostok, which have been a prevalent issue in the region even before reunification due to the different cultures of the majority Russian-speaking Pyalivostok and majority Finnish-speaking Daya Island., and for South Alezia to release Hooveld Islands from West-Brenaven. Other proposals also includes the proposal to make the Metropolitan City of Zafizamarrah its own region within North Alezia. However, this proposal was rejected due to the fact that each region may only have six region and no less and no more.

In the Alezian Union, Sub-regions (which before reunifications are regions themselves) act under the Regional Government. Each of them received subregional funding by their respective regions and each subregion would allocate those funds to stabilize and harmonize subregional economy in which it would work jointly with the economies of other subregions, making all of the subregions working together.

Economy

Even with reunification and the financial problems that comes with it, the Alezian Union stood strong as a developed mixed economy that is classed as a high-income economy.
