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.
Geography
Ashanga has a variety of landscapes, sprawling highlands, dense jungles and endless savannahs. Mixed in with the intricate river system of streams and lakes sits many tiny villages nestled in the nooks and crannies of the interior. The coast is where the major cities and the capital and metropolis of Nechi is located.
Politics
Working as a federal republic, the states within Ashanga has a great deal of autonomy, with the capital in the Nechi Capital District. The federal government and the national parliament has the right to overturn any state decision or legislation, with the President's approval. The President is a mostly ceremonial figure, functioning as a rubber stamp for legislation and affirming ministers brought forth by the Prime Minister, who is head of government. The States and the federal system is based on a legacy of strong local identity and self-rule by the minorities, rights which have been upheld by the Constitution since 1998.
Economy
Demographics
The Ashangi people are a proud people in a fledgling nation. Christianity and ancient oral tradition live side by side in the people and the trauma of past political struggles shape their determination for a better tomorrow.
The cultural identity of the Ashangi people can be seen on their coinage, showing a mixture of local fauna, christian churches and depictions of oral folktales. Ashangi culture is a melting pot of different ethnic groups, the largest is the Ashangi people making up over 65% of the population. The rest is split between the Nokware, Aduane, Nantuo and Nsuo peoples, along with a multitude of foreign immigrants.
