Ackesia officially the United Republic of Ackesia is a republic located on the continent of Lira in the region of Greater Olympus. It is bordered by ______ Its capital Beldon is the largest city and social-economic hub of the nations economy while the former capital, Avondale, stands as the cultural epicenter of the nation.
Former known as the Kingdom of Ackesia, the nation is a harbor of natural resources and deep rooted culture in eastern Lira. The last century of the nations history has seen it take the largest progressive steps towards liberalization since the invention of electricity with the opening of its borders to the west and the conclusion of what was known internationally as the Stew Uprising and locally as the War of Opposing Salvations. It was during this conflict in the 1960s that poverty and famine pushed the nation past the brink and several different factions each with their own ideology rose up to either topple or empower the monarchy which lead Ackesia. Many died during this conflict, and though the armies of republicanism had the clear upper hand, those loyal to the Royal House of Avondale held on to enough power to force a peace. The end of the conflict saw the abolishment of the absolute monarchy in Ackesia with the abdication of the Royal titles by the Avondales, and the establishment of the United Republic. However within one province the royals were allowed to remain and style themselves as the Prince(cess) of Avonmark where they would remain in a ceremonial position among the majority pro-royal populace.
Today Ackesia is no less divided than it was during the war. However liberalization of much of the urban centers of the nation have begun to shift the political views of the youth, though the culture of Ackesia shows little will to reduce its hold on society. Poverty is one of the many issues facing Ackesia today as it continues to plague the nation and its economy. Homelessness, crime, and hunger are as much a problem in the western provinces today as they were during the Stew Uprising after a very brief improvement during the initial decades of the republic. Internationally Ackesia is known for its resource exports such as ______ which are prominent among the world's economy. Internal strife and destabilization of much of the nations infrastructure due to economic troubles has however caused its export ability to suffer, further aggregating the economic problems of the nation.
Etymology
Ackesia is derived from the word for the "Ach" people, a ethnic group of nomadic herdsmen on the Liran plains as far back as 1,000 BC. The Ach people settled along the Achillian river and created some of the first settlements in the nation around this time. Come the early 3rd Century the land of Achlandor enveloped much of the area around the modern capital. Throughout the early middle ages many neighboring Kingdoms ruled over this area, until 1134 when the first Kingdom of Ackesia was established.
History
The earliest records of civilization associated with the name Ackesia was the first nomadic peoples to settle around the Achillian River in the central Liran plains, and began to call themselves the "Ach" people after the violet flowers that flourished there. These settlers banded together in hundreds of seperate tribes focused mostly on farming and hunting/gathering of the plentiful resources in the Achillian River Valley. For hundreds of years these people existed in close knit tribal groups until the threat of ______ invaders from ____ saw the formation of the first tribal alliances that quickly evolved into the first Kingdoms. For centuries this progresses until the beginning of the first century A.D. when five such kingdoms dominated the area settled by the "Ach" people. These five kingdoms changed litte over the course of the Dark Ages, vying for power over eachother and the Achs for much of this period of history.
It was not until the medieval period of history that consolidation of the five Ach Kingdoms began. Up until this point several large scale conflicts known as the Wars of True Violet between the kingdoms and their close neighbors had left the Ach people economically shattered with plague and famine striking at the very homes of these kings and their subjects. With a large percentage wrapped up in the conflict as either combatants or civilian causalities, frontier regions of the Ach people were left as easy prey for their more ravenous neighbors. In midst of this an alliances was formed between the Kings of Beldon and Foxgrove via the marriage of their eldest children that saw the most powerful faction emerge by the name of the Kingdom of the Foxvale. This Kingdom embarked on a centuries long campaign to both expel the foreign kingdoms from the lands of the Ach people and bring to submission the petty Kings of the smallar Ach kingdoms. It was known as the 100 Years of Kin Blood where Achs
