The Federal Republic States of New Wolvers, also known as New Wolvers, is a sovereign state, co-founder of the Universal Pact, and member of the Strategic and Economic Treaty Alliance in North Utopia. The nation is divided in four states, one Autonomous Republic, and one Capital District. It is known to be the first country in the North Utopian continent to grant AI citizenship to a robot in 1991, along with granting equal rights to all its citizens. The nation is known to have community of werewolves in rural sides of the nation, even if is not too uncommon to see those so-called urban werewolves, werewolves who live in the city side of the country and are organized in packs or gangs. Those werewolves may happen to be part of various Werewolf Nations which, legally, are mere representatives of the various tribes and packs of werewolves, but all of them are distinct in language, dialect, beliefs, and even currencies. Nonetheless, those Nations are recognized only inside the Federal Republic States, and do serve only for statistic and representative purposes in the long scheme of events.
Etymology
The name New Wolvers comes from the original name of the colony, Nova Vlkania, name given by the settlers of the Twelve Settlements to the newly discovered territory that, nowadays comprises the state of New Wolvers and the state of New Veronika. The standard way to call a citizen of New Wolvers is Neo Wolverian, even though other denonyms as Farkasian, Neovlkanian and Wolveri are perfectly acceptable. The current name, the "Federal Republic States of New Wolvers", was adopted following the annexation of Killingfer island to the nation.
History
Pre-Colonization
The territories that do cNew Wolvers was first settled but abandoned in the 1st century AD by tribes associated with the now extinct Thilicina tribe of the Killingferi natives. The splinter tribe would sail the Hale Sea to go east and settle the villages of Lmaxsalobanas, Ilambnax and Xlet, only for the villages to be abandoned fifty years later due to an unknown cause. For around 500 years onwards, various other tribes attempted to settle, only to abandon afterwards.
Discovery and Colonization
The discovery dates around 1535, where venetian explorers described sightings of a that currently describes the Champion Bay, with green pastures and no settlements saved for a few abandoned houses. First explorations were deemed useless, but journals described the land and the bay water as "Ideal to settle down during a heavy storm". In 1548, Karel the Landlocked, the king of the Kingdom of Vlkania, sent explorers Artur Barta and Colombo De Felici to the described bay in order to estabilish a new oversea territory of the kingdom, as treaties with the surrounding Holy Roman Empire didn't allowed for an expansion in the European continent without consequences. In 1549, after the death of Karel the Landlocked and the rising in power of Charles VII of Aktemburg, the two explorers sailed the sea starting from the leased territory of Rab with five different ships, all packed with british, scottish, bohemian, and italian explorers and shipworkers in order to attempt to settle down in the newly discovered land of the Champion Bay. Upon arrival 67 days later, the docking of the five ships became a very difficult task, as a thunderstorm caused by an hurricane risked to strike the explorers on theri way to the bay, but in the end, they managed to dock, even though one of the five ships was heavily damaged and was left to rot in the Champion Beach. Upon arrival, the two explorers settled thirteen different camps for the unfortunate people of the Veneta and for whoever wanted to stay in the newly discovered land, hence starting the colonization of the abandoned land. Three years after the colonization started, and the recognition of the Thirteen colonies as the oversea territories of Nova Vlkania, king Charles VII stated that only one of the two explorers, before then co-governors, could take charge of the newly formed oversea territory, as the king could not afford to pay two governors for at least ten years.
Civil War and Exile of De Felici
Colombo De Felici and Artur Barta, upon returning to the oversea territory, went to a physical fight in order to take over control of the colony, which would escalate in a full-on civil war between the supporters of Artur Barta and the supporters of Colombo De Felici, ending with the victory of Artur Barta as the governor of the oversea territory six days later. After the civil war ended, Colombo de Felici was exiled by Artur Barta, being accused of mutiny and treason after finding a journal documenting plans by De Felici himself to become an independent kingdom. Following the exile of Colombo De Felici, most of the people who supported him to become a governor followed him, and estabilished far northeast, founding the Italic Republic of Iugone as a result three years later, settling in the whereabouts of Mount Celauria initially to then settle in the Leonardian plains, creating the settlement of San Leonardo.
After the civil war
After the civil war and the appointment of Artur Barta by the people of the thirteen colonies, he managed to gather explorers who accompanied him to discover more of the land, organizing it into an expedition group, to then create more and more settlement in the territory that comprises the State of New Wolvers. Various ethnic groups arrived in the oversea territory of Nova Vlkania in the following years, developing an economy based on agriculture and cloth exporting, as well as an economy based on hunting and breeding cattle for food.
Dissolution of the Oversea Territory and Establishment of the Kingdom of Nova Vlkania
In 1649, upon being discontent of the politics of the mainland kingdom by imposing a tax on Neovlkanian pelts and fur, as well as imposing taxes on the ownership of a house and no help given following a famine in the territory, the inhabitants of Nova Vlkania had enough, and an anti-mainland sentiment grew further and further, even supported by relatives of the governing king of the time, Jakub I of Vlkania, in order to either be given more representation in the kingdom, or be given freedom to be their own country. The movement kept growing month after month until January 6th, 1651, when news broke that the Kingdom of Vlkania ceased to exist and became an incorporated territory of the Holy Roman Empire. Afterwards, James I of Camponia rose as the king of Nova Vlkania, with the first edict dictating the name change from Nova Vlkania to New Wolvers, given that the last censis dictated that the majority of its inhabitants were of british descent. James I of Camponia however died three months later, with his daughter, Veronika of Nova Ferenc, taking his place to the throne, alongside her husband Jan Blaha of Nova Ferenc.
Dissolution of the Kingdom and Establishment of the Republic of New Wolvers
The kingdom rose of importance because of their copper and gold exports, and some new forms of industry forming in the country rising as well. However, with the ever-growing richness of the nobility of New Wolvers, and the growth of disparity among the classes, the Neo Wolverian average society felt that having one ruler commanding everything in the kingdom was a danger to the peace and stability of the kingdom, and this feeling was amplified when in 1738 Colin I the Madman rose to power as a king following the death of his father, Marek IV the Divided. The middle-class of New Wolvers would initially ask for the king to estabilish a constitutional monarchy, encountering hostility in the nobility initially, but with the nobility supporting the middle-class into turning the absolute kingdom into a constitutional monarchy. Encountering hostility with the king, however, the middle-class and the nobility overthrew Colin I the Madman, and a provisional republic commandeered by Captain Falco Carson was established, with the promise of establishing a constitution within three months since the creation of the provisional republic. On date February 4th, 1742, the first constitution of the Republic of New Wolvers was written, and Luca Salimbeni was elected as the president of the newly created republic.
Annexation of New Veronika and formation of the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika
Thirty years after the creation of the Republic of New Wolvers, the Territories of Nova Veronika, which was created by second generation Neovlkanians after the civil war of 1552 that separated itself from the Kingdom of New Wolvers, asked to be annexed to the Republic under the premise of being its own state within the Republic, giving more access to the sea for the Republic of New Wolvers in exchange, and more land where to settle new farms and new hunting grounds for the ever-growing werewolf settlers that estabilished itself in the Kingdom. In date May the 5th, 1772, under the Nova Veronikagrad agreements, the Republic of New Wolvers ceased to exist, being replaced by the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika, retaining Smith Coulson - formerly the president of New Wolvers- as the president of the Federation. A month later, however, a hurricane would destroy the original capital of Camponia, causing many victims, including the wife of president Coulson Maria Berta, resulting the administration and the government to move to the city of Juvens, with the city being renamed Berta in remembrance of the death of President Coulson's wife.
The Heavy Famine of 1790 and the Italic Republic of Iugone
In 1790, a famine hit the Federation and the surrounding neighboring countries hard, following a drought and the death of various cattle and fauna. However, the Federation stood strong, rationing food and water until winter of that year, when the availability of water was enough to sustain agriculture and cattle breeding again. However, the same strength that the Federation had was not there in the Italic Republic of Iugone, a republic that was on the brink of socio-economical collapse due to the forest fires in the Celaurian chain of mountains resulting into the destruction of the well-kept harvest in the last ten years. The president of the Italic Republic, the great-greatson of Colombo De Felici, Mariangelo Carlo De Felici, requested assistance and humanitarian help to survive to the neighboring countries, with only the Federation answering and giving food, water and prime materials to the neighboring country. Upon help being given, the people of the Italic Republic asked to the president of indict a referendum to join the Federation of New Wolvers-Nova Veronika as a stateas the population was not satisfied with how things were handled by the Italic Republic administration. A referendum to join was then indicted on date August the 8th, 1791, a 69,21% of yes winning, thus starting the procedure to become part of the Federation. Two years later, on August the 8th, 1793, the Italic Republic of Iugone became part of the Federation. From now on, the Federation became known as the Federal Republic of New Wolvers
The 1800
The start of the year 1800 was intense, with new technologies being invented and the economic of the Federal Republic booming, New Wolvers became a major country in the world order, and a pinnacle example of pacifism. In 1814 the Great Duchy of Pyre was facing a social dilemma and closely facing a civil war to choose as the new Dute, as Duke Carlos XXI de Fuego died without generating heirs to succeed him due to a sudden heart attack. The Prime Minister of the country, Marcos Vidal-Alvarez, proposed to the Fuegan parliament to join the Federal Republic of New Wolvers as the third way, as a civil war would mean a national disaster for everyone. After a vote of 42 yes, 20 no and 3 abstained, the Prime Minister sent a request to the federation, and waited an answer. President Alessia Vitali of the Federal Republic of New Wolvers willingly accepted the Duchy as part of New Wolvers, and in 1816 the Duchy ceased to exist to become the Duchy-State of Pyre. With the joining of the Duchy-State of Pyre, the Conservative Party of New Wolvers felt that accepting new members would hinder the equilibrium of the nation, and Sir Giovanni de Maghi, the leader of the Conservative Party, was strongly against the Duchy of Pyre to be part of New Wolvers, and resigned from the position of leader after the entry of Pyre as a state, leaving a political vacuum in the process. In 1863 the Floods of Porta Leonardina and the late answer of the Federal Republic due to the would ailment an anti-neowolverian sentiment by the people of Mount Celauria, with the Disorders of 1868 culminating in a riot supported by the governor of Yugo State Vittorino Valentini in order to become independent again. Such disorders however ceased when the Federal government gave huge tax breaks and help to the state, along with formal apologies of the president Jules Leclerc about the late answer by the Federal Government.
