Farokand, officially the United Federation of Farokand (Farokandi: Fedérataza Boisunisal Farokandi), is a country located within the Lesath planetary system in the Antares star cluster. Its core territory encompasses the terrestrial planet of Tengri and its two natural satellites. Farokand is a federation that is administratively divided into 34 federal republics, 36 of which are located on Tengri. The other two republics are located on the moons of Tengri. Farokand was originally formed between the republics of Faroi and Kandi, but expanded over several centuries to include the entirety of Tengri and its moons. The most populous city in Farokand is the megacity of Faroi, which has a population of over 32 million people at its core. Other major urban areas include Kambapur, Muri, Kulimo, Velstadt, and Kandi. Faroi and Kandi serve as the two capital cities of Farokand.

Farokand was initially settled by the colonists of the Tengri Program, who launched from Earth to colonise a habitable super-Earth discovered beyond the Antares star cluster. However, a mysterious energy originating from the Great Abyss disrupted the fleet's systems and led to it crashing down on Tengri. The nations of Faroi and Kandi were established on the oceanic continent of Dulmara, and alongside Cerecan were the only countries present on the continent. As power started to dwindle, it was apparent to the leaders of the Tengri Program that communications would need to be severed to allocate power towards more necessary uses, mainly agriculture. A majority of the colony ships' content was lost in the crash landing and so technology would have to be reinvented for humanity to survive, meaning the settlers would have to nearly start from the beginning to rebuild. Centuries would pass, with more and more technology lost to time. Conflicts became more frequent between the nations of Tengri as high-tech resources and equipment were harder and harder to create. The world's simple power systems went fully down in the 400s NEC, and it would take over a millennium to restore them.

In 1463, the Keldorian Empire was formed by Keldoria. 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 shear military might. Keldoria turned to Faroi and Kandi next, starting the Dulmara Conflict. Faroi and Kandi, previously trade rivals, realised that the only way to defeat Keldoria would be to unify. And so, following the 1506 Markov Conference, the unification was formalised 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, colonising 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. The Second Farokandi-Cerecanese War of 1956 led to Farokand gaining the territory of Cerecan, which was divided into provinces like the rest of Farokand. World tensions were on the rise in the late 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. In 2014, Farokand became a federation, divided into constituent republics. As technology began to finally reach its previous level in the 21st and 22nd centuries, Farokand spearheaded the worldwide effort towards unification. The Farokandi city of Alkarez hosted the Alkarez Conference in 2142, where the countries of the world met to discuss terms of unification, until finally Tengri was consolidated into the Farokandi federation.

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.

History

Settlement

Tengri Program

The Tengri Program was a colonisation program founded in Kazakhstan on Earth in 2439. Its initial goal was to resettle some of the population of Central Asia due to the region's near inhospitality because of rising temperatures. The Tengri Program was a part of the overall Armstrong Colonization Program, the largest colonisation program in Earth's history. The Armstrong flotilla was composed of numerous constituent fleets belonging to other colonisation programs. The Tengri Program became a popular colonisation program to sign up for later in the process as another larger program was cancelled. Most of the members from that former program signed up with the Tengri Program instead, and so by 2470 the Tengri Program had over 13 million members from all across Earth. The Tengri Program's fleet finished construction in 2464. The launch site chosen for the Tengri Program was Baikonur Cosmodrome, which was subsequently expanded to accompany the fleet's size.

The Armstrong fleet was scheduled to depart in 2496, hoping to arrive at its destination by 2500. The destination was likely located beyond the Antares star cluster, but some evidence has been discovered that points to it being located there instead. The first few years of the expedition went without incident, with the regular check-ins being met. A small solar storm from a star the fleet passed by cut off communications with Earth for most of the ships, but a few support ships, including one in the Tengri fleet, maintained connection. As the ships entered the Antares star cluster, close to the end of the journey, all was well. However, when the fleet began to cross the threshold of the Great Abyss, communications were lost. The flotilla was disrupted by an unknown energy that severed communications with Earth and between the other ships and disturbed the integral systems of the fleet. Emergency protocols were activated and Tengri Program executive officer Muzafar Musayev ordered an immediate scan of potential systems for an emergency landing. The Tengri Program's capital ship, the Kayra, quickly discovered and located an ocean world that would be suitable for temporary settlement, and emergency engine systems were activated. The Tengri Program fleet split off from the Armstrong flotilla and charged towards the ocean world, located in the planetary system of Lesath. However, many pieces of internal equipment started to give out, and the Tengri fleet was forced to make a rough crash landing on the planet they named Tengri. The settlers did not have enough supplies to sustain a single united settlement, so they dispersed to over 30 separate sites across the planet and established their own nations.
