Daobac, officially referred to as the Daoan Congressional Republic (Daoan: Cộng hòa Quốc hội Đảo Bắc), is an eastern Malaio island nation located within the Kayatman archipelago. The country is comprised of the two main islands of Bautroi and Dammay as well as the two lesser islands of Anhtrai and Chịgái located south east of Bautroi. Its population of 8.5 million people are distributed quite evenly between the two home islands. Daobac also shares a maritime border with Kajera to the south east. The island nation encompasses a total area of 83,520km2 (32,250 sq mi) and has a population density of 102/km2 (264.2/sq mi). Daobac's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) extends 200 nautical miles from the island's coast and is approximately xxx,xxx km2 (xxx,xxx sq mi) providing it with abundant fishing grounds. As a member of the Association of Ozeros Nations and to promote regional unity, Daobac has two official languages (Daoan and Nylele) and recognizes four regional languages (Kajeran, Raji, Tsurushiman and Rilik). Daoan is the lingua franca of the country and is used in public services, business, media, education & commerce. However, most Daoans are proficient in at least two langauges: Daoan due to it being the lingua franca of the country, and either Nylele or Rilik. Both are classified as compulsory secondary languages, due to Nylele's status as one of the AON's lingua franca's, as well as Raji's common usage in both day-to-day social and mercantile/commercial exchanges.
Throughout the classical age tribes from the Malaio and Ochran continents sent explorers to both discover new fishing grounds and establishment settlements throughout the Kayatman archipelago. The islands of Bautroi and Dammay were two among the many islands that were settled by these tribal explorers. The islands of Bautroi and Dammay are considered as the cradle of Daoan culture & civilization and over the centuries these settlements developed their own unique cultural identities. Tribes on both islands were hunter-gatherer societies in nature and relied primarily upon the sea for nourishment, transforming them into a sea-faring society. Ships from both islands regularly raided and pillaged other tribes throughout the archipelago and the nearby Ochran mainland. Daobac first rose as a identifiable polity at the dawn of the 3rd century in the year 200 when the first Daoan Conclave was established as an alliance Daoan Pirates. It is considered by modern historians as among the first proto-state in the region. In the 10th century the Conclave would come into conflict with the expanding Tahamaja Empire and would be incorporated by the Malaioan maritime empire in the 11th century. The eruption of Mt. Siriwangi in 1353 ended Tahamajan hegemony over the region and its former territories, including the Daoans, regained their independence. The now Kajerans however, under Laina Tiimaja, attempted to unify the Kayatman archipelago under her rule which led to a conflict throughout the 14th and 16th centuries between the neighboring societies and ultimately ended with Daoan subjugation under the Kajerans. The Daoans would finally gain their independence in 1845 from Kajera in a general referendum after series of political & social upheavals rocked the islands of Bautroi and Dammay.
In the contemporary era, Daobac is a Unitary state with a democratically elected president & legislature. The XXX party however has become the dominant-party in Congress, the legislative body of Daobac, since its independence from Kajera. Though in its early years it remained as a poor and largely agricultural country, Daobac was able to rapidly industrialize and transform its economy through its adoption of a free market economy. The Daoan government was able to effectively integrate itself into both the regional and global economies through a series of evolutions & transitions in its economic sectors. The country maintains policies of minimal trade barriers and tariffs, an export-oriented industrialization, and management of accumulated funds from various foreign direct investment. It has the 12th largest GDP per capita in the world and its citizens enjoy high standards of living, its citizens enjoying various amenities such as: easy access to affordable education and healthcare services, subsidized and livable public housing as well as public facilities. Daobac's economy is dominated by the services industry and is well known for exporting key technologies in the fields of environmental, chemical and aerospace engineering. The Daobac Space Corporation, a for-profit state owned company, is the premier commercial launch service provider of the Association of Ozeros Nations. Various investment and venture capital firms comprise the bulk of the nation's financial service sector.
Ethymology
History
Classical Age
Post-Classical Age
This polity would eventually come into contact with the Tahamajan Empire in the 10th century which led to a century long guerilla conflict when Daoan raiders, now turned pirates, ambushed and harassed Tahamajan vessels and settlements. The Daoan Pirates however were unable to sustain their guerilla tactics indefinitely, as the Tahamajan had greater resources to replace the vessels and manpower they lost compared to the Daoan Pirates. By the 11th century the Daoan Conclave agreed to be incorporated into the Tahamajan Empire, in exchange the Daoan Pirate Lords were granted commissions from the Tahamajans. The commissions made the Daoans privateers under the Tahamajans which permitted them to continue their raiding and pillaging way of life against non-Tahamajan vessels and settlements as well as protecting the Kayatman sea from incurssions.
Early Modern Age
Late Modern Age
Post-Independence
Lacking significant natural resources, the early years of the nascent Daoan nation lagged behind economically, technologically and socially behind its more modern neighbors. The Hanaki War of 1927 saw the rise of a neo-Tahamajan movement at Pulau Keramat resulted in Daobac being drawn into the conflict and its partial occupation by Pulau Keramat. The end of the war resulted in the defeat of Mzanzi and neo-Tahamajan elements in Pulau Keramat. Daobac's economic recovery was centered in transforming the island nation into a hub of fishery and mining activity of the Ozerosi-Karaihe seas. Funds sourced from, among other things, war reparations by the Neo-Tahamajan polity allowed the Daoan government to initiate various social programs. Among them were: livable and affordable public housing projects for the Daoan population. The Daoan government invited Ozerosi and Karaihe nations to invest in Daobac's fishery & mining sectors, with various deregulation acts passed to incentivize foreign investment in the country.
Contemporary Era
Government & Politics
Economy
It started as a resource extraction economy in the 1940s where it exported primarily coal and fishery products. Runaway pollution from the coal mining industry prompted the government to research & develop methodologies and technologies to mitigate the effects of water, air & ground pollutions which led various groundbreaking breakthroughs in green technologies. These breakthroughs began Daobac's transition into a services based economy and cemented its position as a pioneer in the field of environmental engineering, offerring and exporting various technological service & solutions across the globe.
