Farokand, officially the United Federation of Farokand (Farokandi: Fedérataza Boisunisal Farokandi), is a country in Eastern Dulmara. It is the most populous country in Dulmara and the fourth-most populous country in the world. Farokand is an island country situated between the Ekozic and Dulmara oceans. It has no land borders, but it shares maritime borders with Malizia, Kuza, and Keldoria. Farokand is a federation that is administratively divided into 14 federal republics. The nation's has two capital cities: Faroi and Kandi, which are also the country's first- and second-most populous cities, respectively. Other major cities include Karrakaz, Dulsadis, Enerisal, Kilarnod, and Okulabad.
Farokand was initially settled by the prehistoric Malthasvars, who crossed over to the archipelago from Kulanthir during an ice age. Only the major islands were settled at first, but over time the rest of Dulmara was populated as well. As the ice age receded, the Malthasvars were divided and developed into separate identities on their respective islands. Eventually, the dispersed tribes of the Malthasvarian peoples began to expand and evolve into full states. By the 10th century CE, the region of Farokand was dominated by four opposing kingdoms: the Kingdom of Faroi, the Kingdom of Kandi, the Kingdom of Enerisal, and the Kingdom of Cerecan. Conflict between the four kingdoms was common, especially over control or influence over the other Dulmaran kingdoms. Eventually, however, they began to focus more on trade and cooperation than total control over their neighbors.
In 1463, Keldoria formed the Keldorian Empire. The Keldorian Empire and its allies engaged in a decades-long war that spanned the continents of Kulanthir, Armaghan, and Vistozia. In 1502, Keldoria invaded Cerecan, capitulating the country with its sheer military might. Keldoria turned to Faroi and Kandi next, starting the Dulmara Conflict. Faroi and Kandi, previously trade rivals, realized that the only way to defeat Keldoria would be to unify. And so, following the 1506 Markov Conference, the unification was formalized and the newly-united Farokand would go on to defeat Keldoria and repel its forces from Dulmara. Following the Dulmara Conflict, Farokand became a great power, colonizing the continent of Hirovia and establishing a powerful military. After a period of progress and advancement, the monarchy of Farokand was abolished in the 1828 April Revolution. The late 19th century and the early 20th century brought Farokand through several phases of its democracy. World tensions were on the rise in the early-to-mid 20th century, as Padambla was taken over by ultranationalist dictator Devander Khalsa and the world was plunged into a world war. Farokand assisted the Coalition in the war. Following the Great War, Farokand spearheaded the global push towards a strong international institution to prevent further world conflicts, eventually leading to the establishment of the World Government in 1955. The Second Farokandi-Cerecanese War of 1966 led to Farokand gaining the territory of Cerecan, which was divided into provinces like the rest of Farokand. The subsequent global tensions between the world's great powers has lasted to this day, and led to the creation of the Farokandi-aligned Dulmara Ocean Treaty Organization (DOTO). In 2014, Farokand became a federation, divided into constituent federal republics.
The Farokandi government is a federal parliamentary republic and representative democracy with a unicameral national legislature, the Federal Assembly. Farokand ranks highly in international measures of quality of life, human rights, income, innovation, and education. It has some of the world's lowest levels of perceived corruption and wealth inequality. Farokand has a developed social security and offers universal heath care and tuition-free tertiary education. Because of these systems, Farokand has a very high standard of living. It has the world's largest economy by nominal GDP and the world's second-largest economy by purchasing power parity. Farokand is a founding member of the World Government, DOTO, Global Bank, and several other international organizations, and is a permanent member of the World Government Security Council. It possesses significant international influence as as a leading political, cultural, economic, military, and scientific power.
Etymology
The name "Farokand" is a portmanteau of the names of the two original constituent countries of Farokand: Faroi and Kandi. During the unification process of Faroi and Kandi, the citizens of the two nations were able to vote on what the name of the country should be, based on popular ideas that reached the politicians. The top three choices were Kandfaroi in third, Dulmara in second, and Farokand in first. Since the annexations of Pundann and Cerecan, many proposals have been made to change the name of Farokand to be more inclusive towards the rest of its territory, with most proposals being centered around the continent of Dulmara.
History
Early history
Archaic humans are thought to have inhabited Farokand as late as 1.5 million years ago, as evidenced by fossilized remains of Homo erectus found in multiple places across Farokand. These archaic humans were slowly replaced by Homo sapiens starting at around 42,000 BCE. The first inhabitants of Farokand were the Borfusans, who originally settled much of the area. However, they were almost entirely wiped out by the arrival of the Malthasvars, and were confined to the island of Borfusa where they reside to this day. The Malthasvars spread out across the Farokandi Archipelago, reaching most of the major islands.
The islands of the Farokandi Archipelago, especially Kazar Island and Ülsomm Fara, possessed ideal agricultural conditions that led to prosperity and growth amongst the region's towns and kingdoms, and its strategic position in the Dulmara Ocean enticed inter-island and international trade. Especially profiting from its position was the Kingdom of Enerisal, which had grown to be a strong power in the area. Other emerging powers in the archipelago included Faroi, Kandi, Cerecan, and Pirvania. The 4th century CE brought about Köbulam, a polytheistic religion originating from the region of Kaleztia. Köbulam quickly spread across the Farokandi Archipelago, becoming the region's most widely-practiced religion.
Middle Ages
The Middle Ages was a period of development in Farokand, which was unaffected by the Kulanthirian Dark Ages. Trade continued to be conducted with the nearby continents, though Kulanthir began to move away from Farokand as it grew more untrusting of outsiders. Farokand instead traded more with the nations of Armaghan, gaining access to unique spices and luxury goods. The trade routes to Armaghan also transported culture and ideas to Farokand, influencing the development of the region's many cultures and introducing them to various new inventions. Influenced by Oran (which was currently under the Zang dynasty), Farokandi kingdoms exhibited strong central authority instead of adopting feudalism from the Kulanthirian societies. The region of Farokand was dominated by four kingdoms throughout post-classical history. These were Faroi, Kandi, Enerisal, and Cerecan. These kingdoms, which harnessed immense economic, cultural, and political power, had great influence over their neighbors. By 1212, through a series of conquests and diplomatic annexations, the Kingdom of Faroi controlled the entirety of Kazar Island. In 1298, the Kingdom of Kandi and the Kingdom of Enerisal formed a personal union with the Acts of Union, though this union was broken with the Kandu-Enerisalani War of 1347, which ended with Kandi annexing the rest of the country and assuming control over all of Ülsomm Fara.
In 1463, the Keldorian Empire formed and began the Fifty Years' War, often described as the first global conflict in history, though it was a series of connected armed conflicts instead of just one single conflict. In 1502, the war reached Dulmara, with the Keldorian-Cerecanese War. Cerecan, which had more of a focus on economy and trade than military, quickly capitulated to Keldoria, which then invaded Pundann, beginning the Dulmara Conflict.
