Alseeria, officially the Divine Republic of Alseeria, is a sovereign state on the world of Anteria, located on the continent of Atracia. It borders the nation of Arkatzia to the south, Viha to the north, and a colonial territory of Aziallis to the north-west. Alseeria has a significantly large coastline, and almost all of it's inhabitants live on or close to it. The capital and largest city is Muraqaba, which serves as a political, cultural, and economic capital.

Alseerian history dates back to ancient times, when the region was unified under the Empire of the Salanid Dynasty, leading to the spread of Caloism as the dominate religion of the area. During the medieval era, the region was controlled by numerous independent kingdoms. Over a period of 300 years, the kingdoms were militarily united by the largest Kingdom of Muraqaba, which founded the United Kingdom of the Alseerians in the year 1832. In 1982, the monarchy was overthrown in a revolution, leading to the foundation of the Divine Republic of Alseeria under the rule of Alea Gutar. Soonafter it fought a prolonged war with Arkatzia, resulting in thousands of deaths on both sides and ending in a military stalemate. After the war, Alseeria went through a period of economic and industrial growth, brought on by a massive increase in oil trade. This period ended in about 2013 during the great recession, and hasn't fully recovered as of 2019.

Alseeria is a totalitarian one-party state, effectively a dictatorship governed along fundamentalist religious lines. The ultraconservative religious movement within it's ethnic religion has been called "the predominant feature of Alseerian culture", with its global spread largely financed by the oil and gas trade. The nation also boasts what has sometimes been referred to as a "disproportionately large" military, with almost 13% of it's GDP being spent to the military, a higher percentage than any other country, as well as enforcing mandatory military service for all it's citizens.

History

Salanid Dynasty

In the year 183 B.C., Alsera Salanid was crowned King of Calaat, one of the largest independent kingdoms in modern Alseeria. Salanid led his armies on a 19-year conquest of the neighboring kingdoms, ending in the year 162 B.C. with the conquest of Muraq. That same year, Alsera proclaimed the foundation of the Empire of Birza dei Alsera, meaning "Land under Alsera", which most scholar refer to simply as the Salanid Dynasty today. Alsera died in 159 B.C., and was succeeded by his son Alsera II. Under Alsera II, the empire went through a process of conversion in which most of the region was converted to Caloism from their respective ethnic religions.

Warlords Era

The Salanid Dynasty went from a period of decline after 50 B.C., and was conquered in it's entirety by invading marauders by 12 A.D. By 500 A.D., the region was ruled by independent Alseerian Kingdoms, with many rulers within those nations attempting to reunify what they say as the remnants of an old empire. This period lasted for well over 1000 years, and saw the mass advancement of technologies, mainly military, in their attempts to unify the nation.

Kingdom of Alseeria

Around 1600 A.D., the Kingdom of Muraqaba began a period known as I'Ka da, or "The Unifying", when the King of Muraqaba led a series of conquests. In 1736, the armies of Muraqaba reached the gulf of Alseer, and the King proclaimed the creation of a unified "Kingdom of Alseerians". The Kingdom would continue it's conquests, under it was halted at the borders of Arkatzia.

Revolution

As the Kingdom of Alseeria increasingly opened up to the outside world, it became apparent to many that the nation was viewed as backwards and poor by colonial powers. Alseeria entered a period of peace from 1896 - 1982, in which time very little change or reform took place. With Alseeria remaining one of the poorest nations in the world, and the King being pressured by colonial powers to open their markets and take more secular actions, many felt it was time for change.

In March of 1982, Extremist revolutionaries known as the Alea or the "Divines" raided the Imperial Palace and placed the King under arrest. The numerous battles took place in the capital of Muraqaba, but numerous provincial leaders pledged loyalty to the new government. By June, the Alea had consolidated their power of the country and founded the Divine Republic of Alseeria under fundamentalist law.
