Kamalbia (pronounced /ˈduːdɜr/), officially the Federal Republic of Kamalbia, is a country on the west Astyrian continent of Teudallum. It borders the Dangish Empire and Terre Azure to the north, Cassonne to the southwest, Heideland and Caranad to the west and the Beriquois overseas territory of Equinoxiale to the east.
Southern Kamalbia was settled as a colony of the Exponential Empire in the mid-sixteenth century. It was seized by Cadenza during the War of the Magpie and the Dragon in the early seventeenth century and became a major source of diamonds for the nascent Cadenzan Empire. It was ceded to Berique at the end of the Bernadottic Wars. Kamalbia gained independence later on.
History
Kamalbian Edenic Soomaraaq
After nearly two years of deadlock dur to clan and tribal differences amongst members of the transitional government, internal strife and dissatisfaction with the transitional leaders began to fuel unrest throughout the country.
On September 2, 1970, a group of army officers centered around Rashiid Galbeedi, an influential military officer, seized the opportunity to lead a coup and overthrew the transitional government in a largely bloodless coup. During the coup, many government officials simply surrendered, believing Galbeedi represented a more promising future for Kamalbia than the mismanaged transitional democracy could provide.
Under Galbeedi’s rule, Kamalbia moved to nationalize hundreds of Beriquois companies and the Beriquois population was expelled to neighboring Equinoxiale and Terre Azure. Utilizing the new wealth brought about from nationalizing these industries, Galbeedi began instituting an array of new social programs designed to uplift the Kamalbian population. The country also began drastically ramping up the size of its military at this time as well.
Seeking to capitalize on his pan-Edenic goals, Galbeedi also began heavily and openly supporting various factions in the Hesperidesian Revolutions, portraying the groups as brother Edenic people rising up against their colonial oppressors.
In retaliation, the Empire of Exponent ordered a massive naval and air bombardment of the Kamalbian capital, Fesebunuill, as well as the coastal cities of Ceel Hafun and Villecause. Exponential aircraft also struck targets in Bur Burawa, Eylil, and Beaucaut as well.
