Kaoro, officially the Federal States of Kaoro (Federacia Ŝtatoj Kaoro in Kaoroan), is a sovereign nation. The economy is somewhat inefficient at 22 trillion Kaoroan Dollars a year. People have some freedom and civil rights, but conscription is mandatory, gambling is illegal, & dress codes are mandated. The governance of the country is handled by local authorities in their own region. An underground movement ran by Far-right Kaoroi & attempts to crackdown on the movement threatens the country’s stability. The people behind the movement run a government in-exile that claims that the Republic of Kaoro is the true proper rulers of the country, despite controlling no territory. The Kaoroan people are the main ethnic group in this nation. Despite high population, the low economy leaves the capital of Kaoro City vibrant yet in poor condition. The capital holds 30% of Kaoro’s total population.
The country has an island that is an autonomous Federal State due to cultural differences.
History
Totalitarianism military regime
On September 7th, 1972, a coup d’etat was performed that took over the Kaoroan government. Socialism was declared and the country shifted towards totalitarianism. Kaoro isolated itself and freedom of speech was actively being cracked down on.
Civil war and regime change
In early 1996, people protested against the regime and called for a democracy. Around 720,000 people marched through Kaoro City. The military was sent to suppress the protestors, however the marchers had been able to steal equipment and defended themselves. The government successfully retook Kaoro City, but with heavy losses. In response, the Fighters for Kaoro’s Freedom was formed and spread throughout the countryside. A deadly civil war followed where fighters in rural regions fought against the regime. The Kaoroan government controlled every road in the country & every urban center. In mid 1996, the state of Duvivo fell to rebel hands, showing a major turning point. The FKF took cities in North Kaoro and swept towards the costal cities. Kaoro City fell to the rebels in early 1997, and the Totalitarian Regime collapsed.
Post-regime
A transitional government was formed and began rebuilding destroyed infrastructure. The remnants of the fallen regime escaped to an isolated town and created a government in-exile as the Popular Front for Kaoroan Socialism. This group holds a small amount of territory in Northwest Kaoro and efforts to retake the territory have failed.
