Rapachia

The Dictatorship State of Rapachia (rapachean: Dictatara Staota dio Rapachia) is a blossoming country in the Totalitarian Bloc. It suffered through many events in its long history, which led to its current state. As of 2022, Rapachia is a big massively-populated state with a huge and stable economy. In its current state Rapachia was created in 1998 after a coup in the Democratic Republic of Rapachia (Democrasa Repobla dio Rapachia). Over the last years, it has developed strong friendly relationship with its neighbours, most notably being Underad (Underrada in rapachean). Rapachia has always been quite a pacifist country capable of self-defense. Its leaders for the last years have always kept the country in their iron fists, controlling almost everything.

History

Prehistoric

First humans appeared on the Rapachean land around 5,500 years ago, due to Rapachia being located on an isolated isle. The predecessors of the Rapachean were the tribe of Raores, who conquered most of the isle and eradicated other tribes. Around 4,000 years ago the Raores people invented writing, ending the prehistoric era of Rapachia

Raores Civilisation

As the Raores were the only tribe on the isle, they had no foes and a small military capacity. However, they were famous on the isles nearby for their technological advancements. Around 3,300 years ago they were ready to colonise nearby isles. About that time they gained military knowledge from a tribe called Theonis located on the island north to Rapachia. Around 3,000 years ago Rapachia got its current name

Raores Empire

Around 764 BC the Raores civilisation got their first king. The Raores monarchy wanted to expand. In 654 BC they reached the continent, where they have gained strong allies and trade partners. However, a kingdom of Unnana tried to attack Raores, but failed and was destroyed. Soon after that, the Raores and its allies decided to unite. They proclaimed themselves an Empire!

War of the Isles

With Raores' conquests on continent they forgot about the isles. One of the weakest civilisations of the isles silently attacked Raores and claimed their capital in 332 BC, effectively destroying the Raores Civilisation and beginning the Era of the Division

Era of the Division

When Taraos captured the capital of Raores, the empire broke up soon after. Dozens of new microstates were born. One of them in particular, Rapanapa, will once become the mighty state of Rapachia!

Rapanapa Principality

In 86 AD, the people of Rapanapa chose their first king. The Kingdom of Rapanapa soon starts to expand on nearby states. In the first two centuries Rapanapa fought a lot of wars:

• Rapanapa-Raenas war (90-95 AD)
• Rapanapa-Aegglas war (101-110 AD)
• Isle Battle Royale (130-143 AD)
• War for the Coast of Rapachia Isle (147-150 AD)
• Second Isle Royale (160-170 AD)
• Rapanapa's All-Side Expansion (200-225)
• Unification War of the North (250-300)

After these wars Rapanapa expanded heavily on the north, getting the access to the sea and increasing its influence.

Rapachian Unification

Over the next 800 years Rapanapa tried to unify the isle. In 748, the island was 50% conquered. At 1184, the last microstate, Allenna, was destroyed, ending the Era of the Division.

Kingdom of Rapachia

Soon after conquering the isle, Rapanapa renamed themselves to the name of the isle itself, Rapachia. Rapachia developed strong trade relations with the continent, and at XIII century it was a large trade hub, especially its capital, Raparapa. Soon several countries on the continent joined Rapachia to become stronger together. In 1496 Rapachia first encountered colonisators. In 1504 the colonisators began a war against Rapachia, and in 1532 Rapachia was fully colonised.

Colony of Rapatown

Soon after colonising Rapachia the colonisators renamed the Raparapa to Rapatown, keeping balance between assimilation and native culture. In 1578, the concentration law came out, forcing all the native population of Rapachia to live in concentration camps. In 1632, the first revolt happening, forcing colonisators to leave the continental territory of Rapachia. However the rest of Rapachia had to wait 170 years to finally be liberated.

First Liberation War

In 1702 thousands of rapacheans were killed dur to repressions caused by the colonisators. Some of the survivors founded the People's Army to fight for their freedom. In 1712 they began to raid the colonisators' settlements. Soon the Liberation War started. The People's Army managed to capture a bug chunk of Rapachean land, but they were crushed in 1716 by colonisators' forces, causing even bigger repressions.

Second Liberation War

In 1786 hundreds of upset people formed the Second People's Army. It was growing endlessly, but they couldn't strike right now as colonisators' army was well-prepared for any occasions. However, in 1794 the war between two colonial empires began, and the People's Army decided it was the time to strike. On December, 1794, revolts started all over the colony, quickly taking rapachean lands. In December 14th, 1799 People's Army liberated Rapatown after a two months long siege and renamed it back to Raparapa. On 2nd of January, 1800, colonisators had to sign a peace treaty with PA, fully leaving Rapachia on its own as a result.

Republic of Rapachia

At January 3rd, 1800, the Second People's Army proclaimed Rapachia a republic. The first elections were held in March 1800, and the first president, Rapa Haluna, was elected. Haluna was a megalomaniac, struggling to achieve total power. To prevent revolts yet gain total power, the presidential dictatorship was established. The official establishment of Rapachian PD happened on June 14, 1801, when the first constitution of Rapachia stated that "an elected president has full rights to be the president until he passes away". However, the people weren't happy about that.

The war for Democracy

In 1804, a group of people who called themselves "The Frees" demanded the disbandment of PD. They demanded that an election would happen every 5 years, and no president could be elected twice. Haluna rejected the demands and killed the protesters. This started the bloody civil war. In December 1804 the presidential office was raided, Rapa Haluna was killed. In February 1805, the second elections would be held, and a former protestant and an important figure in the civil war, Paya Harui, became the 2nd president of Rapachia.

The New Goals

The new Republic of Rapachia aimed to restore the old governments that were there during the monarchic period of Rapachia and restore their continental possessions. In 1807, the colonisators recolonised the continental Rapachia, and in 1810, an attempt to conquer the Isles was attempted, but it failed, and by the Treaty of Raparapa all former possessions of Rapachia would be ceded back. At the same time, the 3rd president was elected, Ui Rahasa. His government had different goals.Rahasa's government spent a lot of money on social funding and aimed to collaborate with their former enemies. However, in 1813 Rahasa died of a heart attack, not being able to finish his goals. Until 1815, the former Rapachean prime minister, Ai Teha, was elected as a president. Teha dreamed of the creation of independent states all around the world where colonisators established their bloody colonies. In January 1814 Rapachia fought in a war against the colonisators once again, but this time it lost and had to return some of their territories to the colonisators, where the new protectorate of Apar was created. However, the protectors respected the Rapachean culture, and because of that history of Rapachia often includes the protectorate of Apar.

Two Rapachias

The following period is usually labeled as "The Era of Two Rapachias", due to the existence of two countries sharing the rapachian ideals and culture at the same time. In 1815, Ai Teha was replaced with the president Uno Gara. On 18 April, 1815, Uno Gara declared that from now on Rapachia should aim to unite the culture of rapachean people under their rule. Shortly after that the relations with the colonial empires were drastically lowered. After that, things became static. In 1854, Rapachia fought the colonial empires again, pushing them back from their borders. In 1885, Apar revolted. After a year, in November 1886 Apar declared independence. In December 1886, Apar finally joined Rapachia, uniting the people once again.
