Ashanga, officially the Federal Republic of Ashanga is a country.

History

The splendid isolation of the tribes and chiefdoms of the Ashangi lands were slowly drawing to a close when Christian missionaries began to enter the area and spread the teachings of God. Christianization drew the Ashangi people closer to the rest of Europa and the subsistence villages began a gradual transformation to towns, cities and small kingdoms. The Wotena dynasty would establish themselves as the most powerful family in Ashanga and would govern the people thanks to the support of other powerful families. Ashanga (or Wotena as it was known, thanks to the ruling family).

The Kingdom would come crashing down in 1927, as socialist suppression and social upheaval came to a boiling point in the First Revolution. A multitude of factors caused the revolution, increasing poverty, economic turmoil, political instability and finally the King died without an heir and the powerful families began to squabble for power. The Revolution would be successful and the following 30 years Ashanga would find itself governed by the increasingly authoritarian National Revolutionary Council under Chairman Adofo Pinaman. The NRC would begin rapid industrialization and modernization initiatives, building much of the infrastructure that still exists today. Much like the First Revolution, the Second Revolution happened after the death of Pinaman due to a heart attack in 1958.

The Second Revolution wasn’t the bloody struggle of the First, it was a transition towards a democratic system away from Pinamans totalitarian vision of Ashanga. In 1963 the first Constitution of the Federal Republic would be ratified, while deeply flawed, it was the first time Ashanga was truly democratic and free, with the National Democratic Party winning the first election in 1964. Economic liberalisation, christian values, and continued democratisation would be the platform championed by the NDP until they lost their first election in 2003 to the Republican People’s Party.
