Adamantina, officially the Adamantine Republic (Vespasian: Repubblica Adamantina) is a sovereign country located in northeastern Asteria Inferior. Adamantina is bordered by Satucin to the west, Gapolania to the east and the East Arucian Sea to the north. Covering 997,989 km2 (385,326 sq mi), Adamantina is divided into 17 provinces and one federal capital, which is the capital and largest city of the nation, Porto Pellegrini.

Etymology

The name "Adamantina" for the present day region derives from the the word adamas via Late Latin diamas and Old Gaullican diamant. In ancient Piraean ἀδάμας (adamas) genitive ἀδάμαντος (adamantos), literally 'unconquerable, untamable'.[2] The national motto for Adamantina lends as a callback to the the Piraean translation, utilizing the phrase "Sfrenato e indomito" (unbridled and indomitable).

In Estmerish the countries official name is translated as the "Adamantine Republic", with adamantine deriving from the Middle Estmerish word "adamantyne" or "adamauntyn". The word adamantine roughly translates to "like a diamond" or "incapable of being broken".[3] The description of the region by the word Adamantina was first found on a Povelian map in 1574, with some scholars suggesting that the term was first popularized by the elite of the Etrurian mainland who considered the colonists as being brutish and unruly.

The name Adamantina was popularized by the Povelian lieutenants of Matteo Stiriaco Balestra during the Second Annientamento, who sought to distinguish their communities from the indigenous inhabitants of the colony.

History

Pre-colonial period

Colonial period

Settlement by Etruria occurred as early as 1526 CE in the most northern sections of the country along the border with Valorea. Etrurian explorers first encountered the Chanuche people, who were separated into smaller tribes. In 1534 CE the Poveglia Council of Thirteen commissioned Verenzio De Sarro to explore the uncharted interior of the region, uncovering valleys, plains and minor mountain ranges. In 1536 CE De Sarro returned samples of gold, silver and a single four carat diamond to the Poveglia Council.

The De Sarro Diamond sparked widespread interest in the newly discovered lands, and the Council of Thirteen requested that De Sarro establish posts throughout the region to uncover more precious minerals. The Council of Thirteen’s fascination with the diamond led to a quota placed upon De Sarro and his expedition; retrieve thirteen equally sized diamonds from the region for the ruling families of Poveglia. De Sarro was granted the necessary resources by the Council of Thirteen for the subjugation of the indigenous people and establishment of the first settlement in the region which at the time was referred to as ‘Terra di Lucentezza’.

The first permanent settlement of the explored region was Smeraldo. After two years without discovering any diamonds, De Sarro began fabricating stories of splendor to attract more settlers. In 1541 CE, the expedition’s brutality increased after tales of De Sarro’s failure to return the diamonds to Poveglia was spreading among the elite. Following the humiliation from the court the expedition began a savage conquest and campaign of plundering on the indigenous peoples. Six tribal leaders converted to Solarianism, who became known as the ‘Six Ordained Tribes’. Key alliances were established with the tribes, leading to a force strong enough to begin the process of subjecting the ‘lesser tribes’. De Sarro’s men intermarried into the Sei Tribù Ordinate and began to establish semi-independent landholdings under the protection of De Sarro and the Sei Tribù Ordinate.

In 1554 CE De Sarro returned thirteen diamonds to Poveglia, sparking a great deal of interest in settling the region. Waves of settlement brought disease and destruction on the indigenous people. De Sarro and his accompanying priest were captured in 1562 CE by a leader of one of the ‘lesser tribes’ of the Chanuche. Ransomed, the tribe demanded the removal of all settlers and the disbandment of the Sei Tribù Ordinate. After the colonial regime rejected the offer, De Sarro was supposedly cannibalized while alive. Reports of his death led to the First Annientamento led by Sarro’s lieutenant Baldomero Panzarella. Nearly a century of conflict ensured, with the colonial government systematically enslaving and murdering the independent tribes. In 1569 CE the word ‘Adamantine’ was used to describe the settlers of the colony, who were described as ‘ruthless and unbreakable’ by those in mainland Poveglia. Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries the colonial government’s authority increased and settlements began to develop rapidly.

Matteo Stiriaco Balestra launched the Second Annientamento in 1716 CE which focused on the rebellious Sei Tribù Ordinate. Productive agricultural land in the heart of the country was divided up among investors from mainland Etruria which was then quartered into separated tracts of land for tenants. Balestra and the colonial government drafted racial laws that allowed only Eucleans to farm tracts. Questions regarding who was truly ‘Euclean’ caused division within the population, as Balestra considered some the earliest settlers (who had intermarried into the Sei Tribù Ordinate) as being non-white.

Independence

In 1721 CE revolts in Valorea prompted many within the country to consider independence. Aureliano Mancio Sangermano, a military officer of the colonial government rallied several former landowners, descendants of the Sei Tribù Ordinate to overthrow the colonial government. In 1725 CE Sangermano failed to launch a rebellion, and was executed for treason. During the 1784 Etrurian Revolution, the factions which had organized around Sangermano were galvanized by the execution of King Alessandro III and his family. Sixteen of the twenty-five provinces of the Titolo di Asterias Inferior declared their independence, officially establishing the United Provinces of Asterias on March 11, 1784 CE. The instability of the Etrurian First Republic left the colonial government to its own demise, and ultimately the United Provinces of Asterias established control over the remaining nine provinces. The racial laws established by Balestra were eliminated.

Civil War

After four years of deliberation on the establishment of a governing document, those who supported a central government and those who supported a confederation took up arms against one another. From 1788 CE to 1794 CE the First Adamantine Civil War was waged between the Confederati and the Unitari. On December 21, 1794 claimed victory. On January 18, 1795 CE the Adamantine Republic was established as a federal constitutional republic with a strong presidency.

Early Republic

The early Adamantine Republic prioritized landowners and restricted voting access to the general population. During the early period of the Republic an extreme anti-clerical fervor swept across the country, greatly diminishing the power of the Solarian Church. The government continued to promote immigration from Euclea throughout the 19th century, and in 1823 CE granted voting suffrage to all males. In the later half of the 19th century the country was divided politically on the currency, as many wanted to see the currency backed by silver rather than gold. Through a series of elections, the matter was settled and gold remained the standard. Infrastructure projects spurred economic development, with industrialization gaining significant traction by 1895 CE.

Adamantina became one of the largest exporters of beef and canned goods during the early 20th century. During the onset of the Great War Adamantina remained neutral, trading with both sides. By 1929 CE its trade of agricultural goods with the Entente was forced to end after the Grand Alliance threatened to increase tariffs on Adamantina. Unable to compete with the power of Satucin, it accepted the terms of the Grand Alliance. Throughout out the Great War, the country lagged economically. In 1939 the government of supported the coalition of conservatives and social democrats in Azure Coast against the Vague Rouge.

Great War & Junta

During the 1943 Solarian War, Adamantina remained neutral while maintaining trade relations with the Etrurian Revolutionary Republic. After the defeat of Etruria, Adamantina provided many collaborators of the defeated regime sanctuary. In 1950 the collaborators wielded a great deal of political clout and were known as the Cabala delle Ombre. In 1953 the Cabala supported a military coup, supervising the establishment of a military junta. The deposed President Antonio Malito fled to Valorea, where he supported democratic reformers and revolutionaries. In 1968 the military junta launched several small scale skirmishes over various adjacent lands, being defeated in each attempt. In 1975 the Junta was destroyed during a popular democratic revolution, leading to Antonio Malito's return in 1976.

Democratization

Malito served as president until his death in 1989. His wife, Ginevra Malito served as president for 8 years after his death. From 1990 until 1997 the nation faced economic woes which ultimately saw Malito's party thrown out of power. From 1997 to 2008, a coalition of center and center-right parties governed. In 2009 the center-right fell out of favor, leading to a newly established "anti-corruption" party winning the election. In 2014 the center-right party returns to power during an economic recession. In 2018, the now deceased Malito's party returned to power.

  1. Ethnicity is complex within Adamantina, as many self identifying White Adamantines have some type of Indigenous lineage. Depending on the region, some White-Adamantines have a large genetic contribution from indigenous peoples, which in some other countries would classify them as ‘Mista”. More than half of the population has at least one indigenous ancestor
