Kaoro, officially the Federal States of Kaoro (Federaciaj Ŝtatoj Kaoro in Kaoroan), is a sovereign country located in Euronia. It is a member of the Coalition of Crown Albatross. The country is bordered by Lechia to the west, Murzi to the east, and Tinten to the north. The country is a federal entity spilt into 14 states.

The population of almost 23 million people is mostly in urban centers, including the capital of Kaoro City, with one third of Kaoro’s total population. Other major cities include Yuko, Biuem, Lozat, Dakota, Mikelo, and Trefei.

Kaoro's history as an independent nation has been so since 1403, with the founding of the Kingdom of Kaoro on January 19 and the start of the royal Kilao Dynasty. A series of reforms called the Ŝtatreformoj took affect in the Kingdom in the late 1850s after the Bataldinastio, a several decade war for control of the country. The Ŝtatreformoj included a transformation into a constitutional monarchy with elections held every 6 years. The Kingdom ended with the Kaoroan Revolution in 1932 when the ruling Kaorkilao, Pajdo la IV attempted to reverse the Ŝtatreformoj, leading to protests, which turned violent once the Kaorkilao refused to listen to their demands. The revolution succeeded, followed by the founding of the Kaoroan Republic, which put Kaoro on the map as a possible regional power, until the 1972 coup d'etat that ended the Republic & founded the People's Federal Socialist States of Kaoro, a harsh regime that destroyed much of the work done by the Republic, including complete destruction of the national economy. With a civil war in 1996 and the Restoration Declaration, the modern day Federal States of Kaoro has tried to return towards the favourable Republic era.

History

Revolution

In mid-1932, ruling King Pajdo la IV attempted to repeal the Ŝtatreformoj, which the free media reported on. Around 400,000 people went out to protest the attempts. Pajdo refused to stop repealing and instead called on police to disperse the protests. This spiraled into the Kaoroan Revolution, and citizens began to forcefully try and destroy the government. Pajdo and his family fled on October 19, 1932 after angry civilians broke into the Royal Palace, which was heavily guarded for months.

Republic Era

In the immediate aftermath of the escape of the royal family, a provisional administration was declared to be the temporary rulers of the Kaoroan Republic. The administration ended with an election in 1934, followed every 4 years. The new government began building towards a successful industrial economy and rapid advancements in technology.

Kaoro and the World War

On June 15th, 1950, the Dominion of the Sanguine Church surprised invaded Kaoro & Avergnon. The Kaoroan army, although trying its best, was unable to repel the invading troops. After a 3-day battle, Kaoro City fell to DSC forces on the 22nd. By the 25th, resistance had already formed into many different groups, the most important being the Kaoro Resistance Front, who commended over 720 raids by the end of the year, including the Kaoro City street ambush, a major raid that killed over 3,000 DSC troops on patrol within 2 hours. To ease the hardship of the raiding, the DSC formed the State of Kaoro, a Kilao-backed regime made up of DSC-supporting Kaoroi to help the occupation.

In mid-April during the Liberation of Kaoro, the regime fell once Pajdo la IV was killed by resistance forces sieging the Royal Palace. A few weeks later, the DSC were completely pushed out of Kaoro.

People's Federal Socialist States of Kaoro

Following a military coup d'etat in 1972, the Kaoroan government followed radical social change, and the People's Federal Socialist States of Kaoro was declared. The Democratic system Kaoro prided itself on was torn apart and replaced with a totalitarian regime with no care for human rights. The infamous 1975 Kaoroan Protests were met with a brutal crackdown, leading to up to 242 deaths.

Kaoroan Spring & the 1996-1997 civil war

In early 1996, public outrage spread after the Lozat Incident, where several Kaoroi were brutally beaten by military forces in the streets of Lozat for entertainment. The Kaoroan Spring swept the nation afterwards, the Kaoroan government tried the usual methods to crackdown & intimidate the protesters, which did nothing more than add more fuel to the fire. Several deserters of the Kaoroan army took protesters to the countryside, and gave several thousand civilians training. This led to the 1996-1997 civil war. The Kaoroan Army, without morale, mutinied in mass amounts, leading to the complete collapse of the Socialist Regime's forces. On November 27, 1997, Kaoro City fell & many socialist leaders fled the country, leading to the destruction of the Socialist regime.

Restoration Declaration & transition to democracy

The Declaration for Restoring Kaoroan Values & Democracy, commonly referred to today simply as the Restoration Declaration, is the official name for a speech given by the provisional government on February 3, 1998. The Declaration announced the laying for a framework to return Kaoro to a democratic system, while also disrepecting the Socialist regime for its practices. With the ending of the speech, the Federal States of Kaoro was declared. After the speech, the new government immediately started working towards rebuilding the damages done during the Regime rule & during the civil war. After several years of provisional rule, the first Kaoroan election since 1965 was held in 2004, now to occur biennially. The Social Democratic Party has sweeped every Federal election since 2006, and has remained very popular, although some policies of Federal President Dutch Furman has had State and Federal voters align more with the Progress Party. With the 2007 development plan, the economy has been growing steadily.

Politics

Kaoro follows a democratic system. The Senate and State Representative Council meet in the Assembly Halls. A Federal election is held every 2 years and decides the seats of the Senate, SRC and the Federal President. Every state is obligated to give their citizens the right to vote in the Federal elections, however the Federal government is largely hands-down when it comes to State governments. This neglect has led to many abuses by states, including Munde, which is de facto a dictatorship. These abuses have been a major Federal issue.

The ruling political party is the Social Democratic Party of Kaoro. The main opposition is the Progress Party of Kaoro. The Green Star Party of Kaoro has a few seats in Congress, although it panders to Kaoroan-language voters.

The country is population to 23.4 million, which is the 16th highest in Euronia. There is a language divide between English speakers and speakers of Kaoroan, although the country is able to overcome this without a hitch. Spanish is spoken mostly in Manegua, although Kaoroan is seen as an lingua franca. The country is overwhelmingly populated by the Kaoroan people.

Population growth started heavily rising after the Ŝtatreformoj, mainly from high amounts of immigrants coming after promises of a good life, and high birth rates. This growth kept going until 1972, when Kaoro was subject to a dictatorship. Many people fled the country from feelings of unsafety, and by 1990 the population had decreased by 2 million. After a civil war against the regime succeeded, a few hundred thousand people returned, although many were still reluctant. By 2001 though, rebuilding began and people felt it was safe to return. With this, population started growing again and has no signs of slowing down.

Language divide

Language divide began in Kaoro since the late Kingdom Era, with the Ŝtatreformoj opening Kaoro more to foreigners and language learning. A small amount of English speakers began to move into Kaoro, especially in already established cities, like Kaoro City, Yuko, and Biuem. Divide on language-related issues started with the 1958 election season, where the ruling Kaoro Revolutionary Party split over the status of growing English-speakers in the country. The election ended with a victory by the Kaoroan-language favoring KRP-People Party. The party however became unpopular for its policies, and with the 1962 Kaoroan Federal election, the Kaoro Revolutionary Party - Federal Choice party won the elections, and become even more popular afterwards. In the 1966 election, the KRP-FC won in another landslide, where they made English an official language alongside Kaoroan. This was reversed by the dictatorship, which brought English down into a minority National language, and was barely used by the government.
