Etymology

The work "Haverade" is a fusion of two words, "Haven" and "Trade". As people of Haverade living in trading havens before the country is established, the founding businessmen of the country decided to combine these two things into a word to make it the nation's name as their purpose of founding the country was to make trading easier

History

Age of the Kingdom

Modern (1900-1954)

In 1901, with the death of King Gregos III much needed reforms would come to the Kingdom of Leonia. The realm itself name was that of a lion, a tribute to its founding by the Carthiadan explorers who would establish the "Lion City" of Lexos (Now Lexington). Leonia as a kingdom in 1901 was a religiously disunited nation with Matheist sects and Virtulima alongside groups of Old Faiths and Valdezists. Leonia was additionally a medieval state with its devolved state causing several local conflicts between the nobility and knights. It is very important to understand the political state of Leonia in the early 20th century as it lays out the foundation for the modern, economically divided, state of Haverade.

Modern History

Establishment of Modern Haverade (!!!VERY WIP!!!)

An association that was being led by 12 CEOs of 12 member companies was starting to thrive in Eastern Tribia (The Province of East Tribia). Calling themselves as "The Universal Association", these CEO's major goals were always the same: Making more money. These men did not have religious beliefs, which is a wrong thing not to have in Tribia. Because of the laws that Tribia has about religion, all men who did not believe in the state's religion will be sent to prison. So Tribian police arrested the members of The Universal Association and judged them because of their heretic thoughts. After a short trial, the members of The Universal Association were sent to prison for life, but they still had some workers & other corporate leaders who were loyal to them outside. With their help, they were able to hold their connections with their money and after some months, they eventually managed to bribe the guards and broke free out of the prison. They secured all the money the Tribian government could not take away and ran away from Tribia proper.

The lands beyond Tribia were mostly undeveloped lands that were populated but poor. The members of The Universal Association felt the hunger for money again and with most of their remaining monies, they established some trading havens and started trading with various other nations. Because of their non-regulated trade policies, various merchants decided to trade with them instead of selling their products in a nation that has tariffs. Thanks to that, the members of The Universal Association were able to buy and sell products really fast. That way, they eventually recovered their money. However, these trading havens lack the workers to make it even bigger. That meant the members of The Universal Association could only gain a limited amount of money in their lives. They prayed for a solution, and fortune smiled on their face as massive immigration from the Biggonia caused lots and lots of citizens to move to these trading ports. Seeing they need manpower and these people need homes, The Universal Association took them as workers and started establishing even more trading ports and even some cities with bazaars. Biggonian manpower affected trading in these lands massively and some people including important businessmen from Southern areas began immigrating to these lands. 4 of these newcomers were especially important though, as they were owners of 4 big soda companies in their countries. They made an agreement to move in Haverade together and be in cooperation rather than being in a competition. These 4 companies introduced the soda pop sector to these lands, which is one of the most important income sources of Haverade today. Seeing that trading has improved a lot in these lands, The Universal Association, along with the 4 newcomers, decided to establish a government to serve their goal of creating a monopoly in this eastern territory. Therefore, they formed the Haverade.

Independence and Early Haverade

In 1972 the Universal Association officially declared independence from Tribia and gained control over the territory of East Tribia. They began establishing institutions of state to allow for additional financial gain. Alongside this the Universal Association and the Haverade Group held a referendum and an election. The referendum was if the State of East Tribia (the provisional goverment of the territory from early 1972 to late 1972) should return to the Monarchy or turn into a Republic. Unsurprising the Republican won, and in the following election the Haverade Party would win 92% of the vote (though this is considered to have been a rigged result). The Haverade Party would then establish the Republic of Haverade (naming the country on what it would become, a heaven for trade).

Great Workers Strike

Flag of the Syndicalist Revolutionaries in Haverade

In 2016 the main workers union of Haverade (the Trade Union Congress, TUC), which was technically illegal, declared and indefinite strike until its demands were met. The prelude to this strike was nearly three decades of campaigning and fighting. The TUC was established in 1998 to advocate for the very repressed workers of the Republic and to support the ideals of a syndicalist state. The strike itself was at first isolated to the outskirts of Lexington in small farming communities that had unionised but by October of 2016 the strikes had spread to the General Transport Workers Union and the General Industrial Union. As strikers came into contact with Private Contractors bought to keep the peace in early January of 2017 the once peaceful strikes exploded into a full blown united revolution.

The bloody conflict between strikers and the Private Contractors was wronging for the Haverade General Council which had lead the country since 1972 began to realise this strike was bigger than what many had originally though and by March the Group had begun negotiating with Hooseria, Tribia, & New Aberoca to sell all the assets of the the General Council, and thusly the State of Haverade to the three countries.
