Satavia, officially the Satavian Federation, is an island country in western Asteria Inferior comprising the island of Satavia and several outlying islands. Satavia shares a maritime border with Nuvania across the Van Horn Strait. Satavia is the smallest country in Asteria Inferior by land area and third smallest by population, but maintains the highest GDP per capita and living standards on the continent. Satavia is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic, consisting of six provinces, two territories and one dependent territory in free association with Satavia, the Patrick Islands.[N 1] Satavia's capital, largest city and primary economic centre is Port Hope, whilst other major cities include Burnaby, Fort Dent, Northport, Port Arthur and Victoriaburg.

The first human habitation of the island began some 38,000 years ago, and they are the ancestors of modern Indigenous Satavians. Despite the advancements of neighbouring indigenous peoples in Asteria Inferior, native groups within Satavia remained relatively primitive, avoiding contact with other tribal groups such as those in Nuvania, but nonetheless lived in general harmony with one another. Satavia is believed to have been first discovered sometime in 1512 by Johannes van Twiller, however, it was Álvaro de Mascarenhas who first recorded the existence of the landmass in 1533, believing it to be an extension of the Asterian mainland. Jan van Breybach was the first to correctly identify Satavia as a separate island, landing at Sandy Cove in 1541, claiming the land for Hennehouwe and establishing the city that would eventually become Port Hope as the capital of the Dolphin Bay Colony.

Hennish colonisation continued for the next two hundred years, albeit at a slower pace than in neighbouring Nuvania. Fort Zilverzee was founded in 1611 at the site of modern-day Victoriaburg, whilst further north the Hennish established the Krokodillenrivier Kolonie with its capital in Kaapburg, which would later become part of Port Arthur. The last of the Hennish colonies, the Oranjekolonie was established in 1712. Following the Hennish defeat in the War of 1747, Hennehouwe ceded the Satavian Colonies and Nuvania to Estmere. Following Estmere's acquisition of Satavia, immigration to the island increased and Estmerish settlers soon began to outnumber the local Hennish. As the Dolphin Bay Colony expanded, new colonies were carved out in accordance; Maria in 1750, the East River Colony in 1753 and New Borland in 1790. Meanwhile, the western side of Satavia evolved separately; the Longwood Colony was founded in 1764, Breeze River Colony in 1768, Queen's Colony in 1770 and the Arundel River Colony in 1775. Following a major revolt on the frontier of the Dolphin Bay colony and several other minor revolts, primarily by the Asteriaaners, the descendants of the original Hennish settlers, Estmere began preparations to grant the colonies responsible government. In 1798, several minor Western colonies united to become the Western Confederation. In 1813, the Crocodile River Colony joined to become Western Satavia and participated in the Federation Talks of 1812-1815, but ultimately withdrew after their concerns that power would be concentrated in the east of the country. In 1816, responsible government and dominion status was conferred upon Satavia when five colonies federated to become provinces within Satavia (Western Satavia continued to remain independent of Satavia until 1838). Satavia remained a dominion for the next 120 years and was the last of Estmere's dominions to declare independence when the aftermath of the Great War saw the Estmerish monarchy abolished and the last of Satavia's legal links to Estmere ended. Satavia was occupied by Nuvania during the Great War and after its rapid surrender following the capture of Port Hope, Satavian forces fought a long and gruelling guerrilla campaign for the duration of the war.

In 1939, three years following the proclamation of the Union of Satavia, members of the Army launched a coup d'état that overthrew the democratically elected government and ended over 120 years of stable democratic rule. The National Dictatorship would rule Satavia for nearly four decades before its removal by members of the Hope Province Provincial Guard in September 1976.

Since the restoration of democracy in 1976, Satavia has seen relative economic prosperity, but in recent years rising cost of living, increasing income inequality and rising national debt have created divides within the country. Satavia also continues to deal with its complex history, including the near-wipeout of the indigenous population and subsequent issues stemming from the theft of native land and indigenous rights during a period known as the Great Shame. Satavia is a member of ASTCOM, the Community of Nations, Embrosphere, International Council for Democracy, Organization of Asterian Nations and is an associate member of the North Vehemens Organization.

Etymology

The name Satavia is derived from the Chibcha personal name Sátiva. Chibcha-speaking peoples lived around the area where Jan van Breybach first landed at Sandy Cove, and in 1658, Markus Winkelhock wrote that the name was given to Jan van Breybach during his first meeting with indigenous people and incorrectly assumed to be the name of the island.[1] The name Satavia was seldom used to refer to the island until the 1760s;[2] prior to that date, the island as a whole was usually simply referred to by the separate colonies, or as a part of the Hennish Asterias and later Estmerish Asterias. By 1800, however, the island and the colonies located on the island were usually collectively referred to as Estmerish Satavia or simply Satavia.[2] When the Western Confederation joined together with the Crocodile River Colony in 1813 they became known as Western Satavia; the federation of the other five colonies in 1816 saw the eastern half become known as the Dominion of Satavia.

History

Main article: History of Satavia

Prehistory

Human habitation of Satavia began some 38,000 years ago.[2][3] Satavia's indigenous population was primarily comprised of three groups; Arawak, Caribe and Chibcha peoples, with the Caribe and Chibcha being by far the most numerous.[3] Satavia's indigenous population remained primitive despite the advancements of the native populations of other neighbouring Asterian nations, primarily due to their isolation by the Van Horn Strait.[3][4] Many pre-historic sites, such as those of the Arawak in the Orange Province, were destroyed during the genocide of Satavia's indigenous people in a period now known as the Great Shame.[2][5] As a result, and coupled with the natural hostility that existed between the colonists and natives, there is little remaining historical evidence of indigenous practices in Satavia.[3][4] However, it is known from contemporary accounts by Hennish settlers that, unlike in neighbouring Nuvania, all of the indigenous groups were hunter-gatherers.[1] Satavia's last uncontacted peoples, located deep within the Central Territories was contacted in 1924.[6] Despite reports of uncontacted tribal people living within the Central Territory surfacing as late as 2020,[7] the existence of further uncontacted tribes has been ruled out as unlikely partly due to Satavia's rapid deforestation and urbanisation leaving no significant free land that has been uncharted by modern civilisation.[3] Just 181,271 people (or 0.74%) of Satavia's population identified as descendants of Indigenous Asterians in the 2022 census, whilst just under 5% of people identified as creole.[8]

Euclean exploration and colonisation

It is widely accepted that the first recorded sighting of Satavia was by Johannes van Twiller in 1512; however, Van Twiller incorrectly identified Satavia as an extension to the Asterian landmass and as such failed to record the existence of the island.[2] Álvaro de Mascarenhas first recorded the existence of Satavia, but too believed it to be an extension of the Asterian landmass.[9] It was Jan van Breybach who first landed at Sandy Cove in 1541 and would later confirm his suspicion that Satavia was an island and not an extension of Asteria Inferior.[10] Whilst in the service of the Asterian Company (AK), Van Breybach began the first efforts to settle and colonise Satavia. In 1560, Van Breybach established a new settlement north of Sandy Cove at Bendburg and six years later at Sikostad on the banks of Lake Kapivlei.[10] Sikostad was the sight of the Sikostad Massacre in 1567, where an unknown group of indigenous Satavians attacked the city, massacring much of the local population - including Jan van Breybach.[3][10][11] Following the massacre, the Hennish carried out brutal reprisals across the modern-day Hope Province that saw the beginning of the Great Native Wars, a low-level conflict invariably described as a genocide[3][4][11] or as a frontier war.[10] In 1611, the Hennish government sent a fleet of ships to the Asterias in order to settle on the western side of the island, arriving at Fort Zilverzee (modern-day Victoriaburg). The aim of the new port city was to provide a stop-over for vessels heading from Coius and Sublustria on their way to the Asterias; and in 1673, a combination of Hennish settlers and Gaullican hugenots arrived in Satavia settled at the mouth of the Crocodile River, establishing the city of Kaapburg; which would eventually become part of Port Arthur.[10] The final Hennish colony to be established, the Oranjekolonie, was settled in 1712. Hennish exploration was relatively limited; mainly keeping to the costal areas, except in the Dolphin Bay Colony where colonists settled up to the East River and further North were limited to the boundaries of the River Pelham.[12] Whilst there were several opportunities to establish colonies further in land, or on Satavia's southern coast, these were mostly ruled out for two primary reasons; the ferocity of native tribes around Lake Taxaroga and the Rogue River,[3][11] and the prioritisation of the colonisation of Nuvania by the Hennish government.[13]

The Satavian colonies in 1771, on the eve of Pienaar's Revolt

Following the Estmerish defeat during the Estmero-Hennish War of 1747, the Satavian colonies were ceded to Estmere. The Estmerish acquisition of the colonies saw the launch of a population boom that was coupled with huge territorial growth along the coast of the whole island; new colonies sprang up, many of them launched by various different private companies such as the Longwood Colonial Company.[14] As settler numbers increased, new colonies on the eastern coast were carved out of the Dolphin Bay colony; Maria in 1750, the East River Colony in 1753 and the New Territories in 1759.[5] Meanwhile, the western areas of Satavia experienced equal population growth; the Crocodile River Colony experienced huge growth and soon eclipsed Fort Zilverzee in both population and territory, whilst other colonies such as the Breeze River Colony were established in 1768 and Queen's Colony in 1770. By 1770, the Satavian colonies had expanded rapidly, and the number of Estmerish settlers soon began to match the Hennish settlers. It was around this time that the Hennish settlers began identifying as Asteriaaners for the first time.[15] In 1771, the first and most signifcant major revolt launched by Asteriaaners began on the frontier of the Dolphin Bay Colony began following the death of an Estmerish Magistrate at the hands of a group of Asteriaaner farmers.[16] The revolt, which was primarily centred around the rights of the Asteriaaners, resistence to Estmerish anti-slavery laws, competing land claims with new Estmerish settlers and resistance to taxation without representation set in motion the Federation of the Satavian colonies and home rule.[5][15][16] Despite Estmere's violent suppression of the revolt, Estmere soon began offering concessions shortly afterwards. The Arundel River Colony was established in 1775, four years following the revolt, and was populated almost exclusively by Asteriaaners, many of whom had left the Dolphin Bay Colony following the fallout of the revolt.[15][16] In 1790, the New Territories were divided between Maria and a new penal colony, New Borland was formed. Meanwhile, in 1798, the Estmerish government ended the charters given to the private companies who had set up colonies on Satavia's west coast, and several were merged to form the Western Confederation.[17] Serious suggestions of a united federation of colonies was first considered in the early 1800s, but faced stiff resistance - particularly from the leaders of the Orange Colony, Arundel and the three western colonies - who were fearful that a new, singular colony would have its power centred in the now predominantly-Estmerish Dolphin Bay colony.[5] Representatives from the western colonies arrived in Morwall in 1808 with the hopes of securing a deal with Estmere that would allow for responsible government without the prerequisite of forming a united federation of colonies.[5] This was, however, denied by the government of Lord Allerton who were insistent that home rule could only be achieved if the Satavian colonies federated.[5] The Estmerish government had been swayed by Theodore Howard, the pro-federation Govervor of the Dolphin Bay Colony, that it was not only economically sensible but administratively easier to unite the colonies into one singular administrative unit.[18]

Federation and nation building

The Satavian colonies in 1816, following Federation

By 1811, the concept of a united Satavia had become increasingly popular, particularly as neighbouring Nuvania was granted home rule and dominion status that year.[18] Nonetheless, there remained significant opposition to federation; notably, in the Western Colonies. The Asteriaaner colonies were fearful of dominance by the much larger Dolphin Bay Colony, a fear that was confirmed when it was decided in 1813 that Sandy Cove - the capital of the Dolphin Bay Colony, and largest city in Estmerish Satavia, would become the capital of the new unified colony.[18][19] Furthermore, there were Estmerish concerns that several different colonies threatened to deepen the ethnic divide between Asteriaaners and the Estmerish.[18] In 1814, newly-formed Western Satavia withdrew from the Federation Talks.

The Grand Opening depicts the opening of the first Satavian Parliament in 1816

Satavia's first election, the 1816 general election was held across the five colonies involved in Federation over the course of three weeks from 13 July to 2 August 1816.[18] The voter role was not consistent across the colonies; in the Hope Province (with the most liberal voter restrictions) all men over the age of 25 under a property qualification, whereas the Orange Province (the most restrictive) had a male-only, whites-only, Kasperist, property-qualified and an age restriction of 27.[20] Richard Somerset would be elected the first Prime Minister of Satavia in the election. On 3 September, 1816, the Estermish Parlament passed the Satavia Act, 1816 which lay out the provisions for Satavia to attain responsible government.[5][18] Additionally, the colonial councils of the five colonies (which had attained representative government in 1800) passed their own versions of the act.[18] On 1 October, 1816 the act entered effect, as did the Constitution of Satavia. Upon its passage, Satavia became a federation consisting of five provinces (Arundel, Dolphin Bay, Maria, New Borland and the Orange Province) and one territory (Central and Western Territories).[18] Western Satavia attained self-governance in 1819, but not dominion status. By 1833, the comparative economic prosperity of the Dominion of Satavia led to further calls to join the dominion.[21] The Dominion government, lead by Patrick Conway, was in favour of accepting Western Satavia into the federation, and drafted several proposals, all of which were rejected by the Western Satavian government.[18][22] However, talks continued throughout the 1830s. In 1838, Satavia was effected by the Great Drought, which impacted Western Satavia's agriculture-based economy significantly.[23] The government of Western Satavia requested financial compensation from Estmere; however, as Estmerish government policy had remained a preference for the unification of the island of Satavia as part of their wider colonial consolidation efforts to improve governance, the government of Lord Hillingdon instead proposed a modified version of Conway's sixth and final ascension proposal.[5][18] Despite being fiercly debated within both Satavia and Western Satavia, it was ultimately accepted by both sides. Western Satavia, which would become the Western Freestate, was given special status within Satavia and had vastly more control over its internal affairs then the other provinces.[22] An updated passage of the Satavia Act promulgated in 1838 and saw Western Satavia join the Dominion of Satavia. In 1855, Johan van Vallier became Prime Minister of Satavia; and the following few decades would become known as the Satavian Boom as huge immigration to Satavia from Estmere, other parts of the Estmerish colonial empire and Euclea (paticularly Caldia and Piraea brought massive economic growth.[5][17][24] However, this period of growth also coincided with the Great Shame, during which the vast majority - an estimated 95% - of Satavia's indigenous population was systematically exterminated.[11][24][25][26] Van Vallier, a member of the right-wing Dominion Party also sought to increase Satavian autonomy whilst remaining within the Estmerish Empire, frequently coming into conflict with the Liberal government of the Satavian-born Richard Hope, Earl of Longwood.[5]

Following the conclusion of the Great War, the political atmosphere in Estmere remained volatile.[27] The Estmerish government announced two referendums to be held in 1936; one on the status of Borland but the other on the future of the Estmerish monarchy.[28] The abolition of the monarchy, which at that time seemed inevitable, would complicate the relationship between Satavia and Estmere, and consequently Limes - who was a passionate advocate of full independence from Estmere, even before the Great War - informed the Estmerish government sometime in March 1936 of Satavia's intention to achieve independence.[5][27] Negotiations began in April 1936 and an agreement was soon reached amicably in June. The Satavian government drafted the Satavia Act 1936 (Dom.) which passed through both houses with relatively little opposition.[29] The Governor-General, Sydney Warwick, initially refused to grant royal assent, waiting instead for the Parliament of Estmere to pass an almost identical piece of legislation, the Satavia Act 1936 (Kin.).

Satavia is a federal parliamentary constitutional republic. Satavia's constitution, ratified in 1816, is one of the world's oldest.[30] Additionally, Satavia is one of the world's oldest federations, in which power is separated between the federal government and the provincial or territorial governments.[30] The Satavian system of government is heavily influenced by that of Estmere's, and follows the Northabbey system closely. Following federation in 1816, Satavia had a House of Representatives and a House of Peers, much like Estmere. The House of Peers was an unelected house, containing only appointed politicians that included a mixture of primarily-Estmerish peers and Satavian-born commoners.[31] The House of Peers was only replaced by the Senate in 1939. Members in the House of Representatives, of which there are 152 avaliable seats, are elected through single-member constituencies (usually called electoral divisions) using the first-past-the-post system.[32] Meanwhile, in the Senate, citizens vote for a party. The total popular vote in a province or territory for each party is then allocated into seats using a modified version of the D'Hondt method.[32] Each province and territory is allotted 12 senators, regardless of total population, for a total of 96 available Senate seats.[32] Voting is mandatory on the federal level, and has been since 1976, with some exceptions. Mandatory voting on a provincial level is also now in place across the country; it was introduced first in the Hope Province in 1882, Western Freestate in 1896,[N 2] Maria (now the Pioneerstaat) and New Borland in 1918, whilst Arundel and the Orange Province introduced identical legislation in 1922 introducing compulsory voting.[N 3] Mandatory voting is enforced across all age limits, and exceptions are only granted to Satavians living overseas, who are still entitled to vote if they can provide their last known address.[20] A G1,000 (aproximately €100) fine is levied for a first offence, increasing up to G2,500 (approximately €300) for a repeat offence. As a result, Satavian electoral turnout is amongst the highest in the world, usually resting at approximately 90%.[32][33]

Elections in Satavia occur sporadically. On a federal level, four types of election exist as defined in the Satavian constitution.[30] They all elect members to the House of Representatives and Senate, the terms of which for members are both four years; elections must be called at least three years, 364 days following a previous election. However, a procedure known as Electoral pushback exists in which, with the approval of the High Court of Satavia, an election may be delayed by up to 270 days past the date it should have been held.[34] This is most commonly used on a provincial level, where provincial elections may be "pushbacked" in order to sync with a national level, helping to reduce costs, improve voter turnout and increase efficiency.[34] Electoral pushback is a procedure unique to Satavia.[34] Federal elections occur when the Prime Minister asks the President to disolve both the House of Representatives and the Senate, meaning all seats in both houses are up for election.[32] General elections occur when the Prime Minister asks to for the President to dismiss the House of Representatives only, whilst the Senate remains in place.[32] Similarly, a Senate election sees only the Senate dismissed, whilst the House of Representatives remains to continue their terms. By-elections occur when a member of the House of Representatives resigns, dies or becomes incapacitated and is removed from his seat. An election is held only in that division, and their successor replaces them until the next election.[32] In contrast to this, when a member of the Senate is no longer willing or able to carry out their term, they are replaced by another member of their party (except for the National Capital District, where the seat remains vacant until the next election).[32][35] In the extremely unlikely event that the Senator is an independent, it is constitutionally unclear as to what would occur,[32] but it is expected that their seat would remain vacant until the next election.[32]

The President of Satavia is the non-executive ceremonial head of state of Satavia.[36] The position has existed since 1939, when Marinus de Klerk was selected as Satavia's first president. The longest-serving president is Apollonas Georgallis, who served from 1961-1974, whilst the longest-serving elected president is Philip Fairfax, who served from 2002-2013. The President is always a member of the Senate, and is usually, but not necessarily, the leader of the party with the most representation.[36] The position of President is modelled on the historical position of Governor-General of Satavia, who was from 1816 to 1936 the Estmerish Monarch's viceregal representative in Satavia.[36] As a result, despite being a nominally ceremonial position, the President can appoint governments (but requires the assent of the Senate), as well as call elections.[36] This has caused controversy in the past, most notably in 1996 when incumbent Liberal Prime Minister, John Barrett, requested the President of Satavia, Damian de Jager disolved both houses and called for a federal election. However, De Jager, a member of the Conservative & Country party, refused his request and instead disolved only the House of Representatives in a general election. De Jager did not want to risk losing the majority the Conservative & Country party held in the Senate, so refused to dissolve it.[37] The De Jager affair would lead to the Presidential (Responsibilities & Duties) Act 1999 as well as a constitutional amendment in 2013. The President's authority is represented in the provinces by a Governor, and in the territories by an Administrator.

The Prime Minister of Satavia is the head of government and executive of Satavia.[38] The position of Prime Minister has been continuously held since October 1, 1816. The first holder, Richard Somerset, served just under 13 years across two seperate terms. Originally, the Prime Minister could come from either house; most Prime Ministers originally served as either commoners or peers in the House of Peers.[39] Arthur O'Connell was the first Prime Minister to be a member of the lower house, the House of Representatives, whilst his successor, Henry King-Stewart was the final Prime Minister who served as a member of the upper house. From 1936 until 1939, the Prime Minister was both the head of state and government of the Union of Satavia.

Although traditionally regarded as Asteria Inferior's most economically and politically stable nation,[5][10][32][40] Satavia experienced two coups d'état and one attempted coup d'état within a 38-year period (the first, the February Coup of 1939, the 1976 Satavian coup d'état and an attempted coup d'état during the Admiral's Rebellion of 1946).[41] They remain the only coups d'état in Satavian history.

Satavian politics is generally regarded as operating within a loose two-party system.[42] Satavia's two major political parties are the Conservative & Country party, who are generally regarded as centre-right, and the Liberal party, who are generally regarded as centre-left to left-wing.

Notes

  1. ↑ Satavia maintains the islands are in free association; the position taken by the Community of Nations is that the islands are a non-self-governing dependency.
  2. ↑ Whilst universal suffrage had been established by 1976, mandatory voting in the Western Freestate excluded ethnically Bahian people until 1983, ethnically Coian people until 1985 and indigenous people until 2007[20]
  3. ↑ Arundel and the Orange Province both placed limitations on female and indigenous mandatory voting; females were required to vote from 1982 and indigenous people from 2007[20]
