{{main|History of Anagonia & Its People}}


Anagonia, a land rich in history and diversity, has a story woven through the fabric of time, shaped by geological shifts, cultural evolution, and the ebb and flow of power. From the ancient era of draconic dinosaurs to the modern age of technological advancement, the history of Anagonia is a tapestry of triumphs, conflicts, and transformations.
==Etymology==


=== The Ancient Era ===
The etymology of "Anagonia" intertwines with the ancient history and cultural tapestry of the land, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped its meaning over time. At the heart of this etymology lies the intersection of two distinct cultures: the Seurians, akin to the Anglo-Saxons, and the indigenous Anagonians.


Around 267 million years ago, Esvanovia, known as Panesvan, served as a supercontinent teeming with diverse dinosaur species, including a peculiar species believed to be the ancestors of the modern Drekamythian Dragon and Drekamythian Wyvern. As Panesvan split into separate landmasses roughly 150 million years ago, a draconic sub-species, the Draconus Unchanos, became permanently trapped on a landmass later known as Kistavich. This marked the emergence of the first Winged Reptile Predator, evolving over millions of years into the Imperial Drekamythian Dragon.
Historians, archeologists, and etymologists all agree that the native language of modern Anagonians and their unique name must derive from some experience with the Seurians prior to 6967 BCE.  


Approximately 45 million years ago, separation commenced on the continent of Kistavich, accompanied by intense volcanic activity and the encroachment of the Anagonian Ocean into lower valleys and rivers. Despite the harsh environment, the Draconus Vipera Unchanos, ancestor to the Modern Drekamythian Wyvern, thrived in more hospitable regions. This period also witnessed the emergence of distinct wyvern sub-species, with only two surviving into modern times: the Green Mountain Wyverns and the Coastal Ocean Wyverns.
Around 400 BCE, it was historically recorded both in ancient texts and archeological findings that Ancient Seuria, the ancient homeland of the Seurians on the continent of Major Kistavich, waged a violent war against the Anagonian people and her neighbors under the leadership of the Ancient Seurian known as "Oisean Macmathan". Rikor Hak, the well-known Second Disciple of Melkos, has well preserved journals and written texts on his and his armies experiences in fending off the "Seurian Empire".  


By 2.5 million years ago, the split of the Kistavich Continent was complete, giving rise to Major Kistavich to the north and Minor Kistavich to the south. Geological studies indicated the existence of a third continent, unofficially named the "Anagonian Continent," situated between the two landmasses. However, debates among geologists and historians persisted regarding the nomenclature, with Minor Kistavich ultimately retaining its name as the homeland of Anagonia.
It is through these journals, texts, and recorded historical events that etymologists have been able to conclude that Seuria played a heavy role in Anagonian language syntax and development. [[Seuria]], which in modern day exists as a diminished island nation north of nations of Arcadie and Kaskaida and resides in the Northern Ocean, has had long-lasting cultural, linguistic, and other influences on Anagonian culture.


Around 50,000 years ago, geological evidence pointed to increased volcanic and seismic activity in the West Islands and mainland Anagonia on Minor Kistavich. These events laid the groundwork for the future formation of Anagonia, shaping the landscape and environment that would become the historical backdrop for the emergence of the Anagonian civilization.
The supposed prefix "Ana-" and suffix "-gonia" further enrich the meaning of "Anagonia." The prefix "Ana-" could potentially denote a sense of primordial or native essence, suggesting an origin deeply rooted in the land itself. Meanwhile, the suffix "-gonia" commonly denotes a land or territory, implying that Anagonia is not just a place but a distinct realm imbued with its own unique character and significance. Together, these linguistic elements encapsulate the essence of Anagonia as a land of ancient heritage, mythical connections, and enduring legacy.


=== The Age of Settlement ===
The name "Anagonia" carries echoes of both Seurian and Anagonian heritage. Through meticulous research and lore, it has been deciphered to translate as "Native Dragon Man," offering insight into the ancestral relationship between the Anagonians and the mythical dragons that roamed their land. This interpretation suggests a profound connection between the indigenous people and the awe-inspiring creatures that inhabited their midst. It also supposed that perhaps at one point, the word "Anagonia" could have used by Seurians as an identifier to what an Anagonian could have been before their name.


Around 50,000 years ago, significant geological upheaval commenced in the vicinity of the West Islands and mainland Anagonia on Minor Kistavich, marked by intensified volcanic and seismic activity. This period of environmental instability set the stage for the eventual arrival of the Anagonian civilization to the region.
The term "Dragon Man" within the context of Anagonia evokes images of a society intertwined with the mythos of dragons, perhaps revered as guardians or spiritual beings. It speaks to a time when dragons may have played a significant role in the lives and legends of the Anagonian people, shaping their culture, beliefs, and even their very identity. Thus, "Anagonia" serves as a testament to the enduring bond between Anagonia and the mystical realm of dragons, a bond woven deep into the fabric of Anagonian history and lore, and a bond that persist to Modern Day as Anagonians continue pilgrimages to see their dragon kin.


Approximately 10,000 years ago, the first Anagonian natives are believed to have migrated from the West Islands, a territory situated in what is now known as the Magnus Draco Oceanum. Archaeological and geological evidence strongly supports the existence of the "West Islands Anomaly," speculated to have been a vast landmass that eventually sank into the ocean. It is theorized that the Anagonians escaped a cataclysmic event that submerged their homeland, leading to their sudden appearance on Minor Kistavich. While modern archaeological efforts have uncovered human settlements and artifacts, primarily on the West Islands, confirming habitation dating back to 7967 BCE, the full extent of these early settlements remains unknown.
== Geography and Climate ==


By 9,500 years ago, a period known as the Age of the Barbarians dawned in Anagonia, characterized by the emergence of diverse humanoid species and the spread of settlements inland from the coast. Archaeological findings indicate the presence of the Drekamythian race, humanoid dragons, alongside other reptilian humanoid species like the Komodren, Cramuun, and Gratven. Settlements expanded, accompanied by the development of rudimentary tools and weapons. However, around 9,000 years ago, a notable shift occurred as population centers relocated from plains to mountainous regions. This shift coincided with the emergence of conflicts, possibly with dragons or other natural predators, leading to speculation about the causes of this migration.
Anagonia, a vast and diverse nation spanning approximately 21,864,400 square kilometers, boasts a varied landscape characterized by rugged mountains, sweeping plains, and coastal regions. With its mainland and capital situated southeast of the heart of the Anagonian Ocean, the nation itself encompasses and surrounds the magnificent Magnus Draco Oceanum, also known as the Great Dragon Ocean, which serves as the centerpiece of the nation's geography via its vast expanse.


The events of these millennia laid the foundation for the development of the Anagonian civilization, shaping its early history and cultural identity amidst geological turmoil and ecological challenges.
=== Geography ===
[[File:AnagoniaTopographicMapComplete2024(resized).png|thumb|left|Topographic Map of Anagonia <br>
Image circa 108 AUR <br> ''NOTE POST-GREAT WAR CHANGES'': <BR> * More Territory to Southwest of Mainland <br> * Annexation of Additional Islands <br> * Annexation of Conquered [[Kaskaida]] Territories'']]
Anagonia's mainland is delineated by the continents of Minor Kistavich and Major Kistavich, with the Great Dragon Ocean occupying the central expanse. The northern territories, including Ashilosa, Thetanacia, North Teustredia, South Teustredia, and Thireatheria, are dominated by mountainous terrain that gradually slopes downward into steppes, grasslands, and marshlands as they approach the Great Dragon Ocean. To the west, the Territories of Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotichia, and Sarder feature similar mountainous landscapes that give way to coastal plains along the shores of the Great Dragon Ocean.


=== The Dawn of Civilization & Rise of Melkos ===
In the western reaches of the nation lie the remnants of a sunken continent, now known as the West Islands, serving as a testament to ancient geological upheavals. The Stranestry Islands, located south of the Territory of Sarder in the West Arvolken Sea, offer a contrasting landscape with their gentle slopes and favorable weather conditions. To the east, mainland Anagonia transitions from the independent nation of Sarda to the Sovereign Nation of Nodea Rudav and the Imperial Drekamythian Empire, culminating in the peninsula-like mass of Anagonia proper.


Around 6,500 years ago, cave paintings and artifacts depicting Melkos, a central figure in Drekan mythology, began to emerge in the high mountains of Anagonia. These artworks, accompanied by the development of written script, heralded the beginning of the "Age of Melkos." The Drekan Testament, containing hymns and praises to Melkos and dragons, laid the foundation for the Drekan faith, shaping the spiritual and cultural identity of Anagonia for millennia to come.
The mainland of Anagonia, which is situated southeast of the Great Dragon Ocean on the continent of Minor Kistavich, is further divided into seven states: Lexington, Plymouth, Orgath, Liberty, Saratoga, Imperius, and Arkansis. The State of Saratoga and the State of Plymouth lay claim to three large islands in the Sea of Independence, providing strategic access to the Great Dragon Ocean.

=== Climate ===


In 420 BCE, Josephus Alexandrius, the First Disciple of Melkos, embarked on a journey across Anagonia, spreading the teachings of the Drekan faith. His encounters with Melkos and subsequent establishment of the New Sacrament marked a pivotal moment in Anagonian religious history. The subsequent rise of Rikor Hak and Octavius Mavidenus solidified Melkos's influence and contributed to the unification of Anagonia's disparate tribes and city-states.
Anagonia experiences a diverse range of climates due to its expansive geography and varied topography. The northern territories are characterized by a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, while the coastal regions benefit from milder temperatures moderated by oceanic influences.


The establishment of the Mal-Videnus Commonwealth in 110 BCE ushered in a period of relative peace and prosperity known as the First Golden Age. However, internal strife and external pressures eventually led to the collapse of the Commonwealth, setting the stage for centuries of turmoil and fragmentation. The rise and fall of subsequent dynasties, including the House of Valdor, reflected the cyclical nature of power and governance in Anagonia's early history.
In the mountainous regions, precipitation is abundant, resulting in lush forests and verdant valleys. The western territories receive ample rainfall, fostering fertile soils ideal for agriculture and supporting diverse ecosystems. In contrast, the eastern reaches of Anagonia, bordering the Imperial Drekamythian Empire and the Sovereign Nation of Nodea Rudav, experience somewhat drier conditions, with semi-arid climates prevailing in some areas. However this is diversified within the mainland of Anagonia in its primary states. They experiences a wide verity of temperate-to-dry conditions year-round which support a wide variety of agricultural and biological diversity, with mild winters typically thanks to warmer currents flowing from the north.


=== The Era of Empires ===
The coastal regions, including the Territories of Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotchia, and Sarder, enjoy mostly temperate climates characterized by mild winters and moderate summers. The Stranestry Islands boast favorable weather conditions year-round, making them popular destinations for tourists and travelers seeking relaxation and tranquility.


Amidst the shifting sands of power in ancient Anagonia, the First Mal-Videnus Commonwealth emerged as a beacon of unity and strength. Rikor Hak, a revered figure among the Anagonians, sought to bridge the gap between the Anglo-Saxon Man and the Native Dragon Man. His vision of harmony and cooperation resonated with the people, leading to the unification of the city-states under the banner of the Commonwealth. With Rikor Hak's blessing of Dragon Tongue, the diverse peoples of Anagonia came together, forming a mighty nation that spanned the northwestern tip of Minor Kistavich.
Overall, Anagonia's climate and geography contribute to its rich biodiversity and cultural diversity, making it a land of endless exploration and discovery.


Under the leadership of Rikor Hak and subsequent rulers, the Commonwealth flourished, ushering in a golden age of prosperity and enlightenment. Art, literature, and philosophy thrived, fueled by the diverse cultures and traditions of the Anagonian people. The Commonwealth's military prowess, bolstered by the presence of Drekamythian non-humanoids, ensured its dominance over neighboring territories, establishing it as a regional power to be reckoned with.

Despite its initial success, the First Mal-Videnus Commonwealth eventually succumbed to internal divisions and external pressures. The collapse of the Commonwealth marked the end of an era, plunging Anagonia into a period of chaos and uncertainty. Yet, from the ashes of the first Commonwealth rose a new vision of unity and strength: the Second Mal-Videnus Commonwealth.
==Government==


Led by visionary leaders and bolstered by the lessons of the past, the Second Commonwealth sought to forge a brighter future for Anagonia. With a renewed commitment to cooperation and solidarity, the Commonwealth expanded its influence, reclaiming lost territories and restoring stability to the region. For centuries, it stood as a bulwark against the tides of chaos, preserving the peace and prosperity of Anagonia.

However, as the centuries passed, the Second Mal-Videnus Commonwealth began to unravel. Internal strife and external threats weakened its foundations, eroding the unity that had once defined Anagonia. The collapse of the Commonwealth in 925 CE marked the end of an era, signaling the beginning of a new chapter in Anagonian history.
====Elaboration on the Executive Branch Structure====
The Executive Branch consists of Departments of the President and Vice-President presiding at the top and overseeing all departments underneath them, within constitutional limits. The Department of the President is primarily responsible with the formation of new departments as well as restructuring of any department within their authority. Since the governance of the 8th President of the Confederate States, President Rudolf Jarod Hart (55 AUR - 60 AUR), the Executive Branch has consisted of two levels of Cabinet Departments.


Yet, despite its demise, the legacy of the Mal-Videnus Commonwealth endured. Its ideals of unity, strength, and cooperation continued to inspire future generations, serving as a reminder of the heights that Anagonia could reach when united in purpose. Though the Commonwealth had fallen, its spirit lived on in the hearts of the Anagonian people, guiding them through the trials and tribulations that lay ahead.
The first level of Cabinets, the Senior Cabinet, consists of Departments with multiple roles and considered extremely essential to the functioning of proper government and support to and for the Departments of the President and Vice President. The Senior Cabinet generally consists of one singular Department which consists of several roles. Some of the Senior Cabinets also oversee the Junior Cabinet Departments.


=== The First Kingdom ===
The second level of Cabinets, the Junior Cabinet, consists of Departments with singular roles and objectives and thereby are considered not generally essential to the functioning of proper government, with the exception of CASA due to national security importance. Generally the heads of these singular Cabinet Departments report to superiors in the Senior Cabinet, with the primary objective of supporting the Senior Cabinet in the functioning of everyday governance and national security.


Following the collapse of the Second Mal-Videnus Commonwealth, Anagonia plunged into a period of turmoil and strife. Amidst the chaos, powerful dynasties emerged, vying for control over the fractured lands. Among these, the House of Valdor, led by Duke Aldric Valdor I, rose to prominence in the Duchy of Valdor. Through cunning diplomacy and military might, the House of Valdor gradually expanded its influence, eventually unifying the disparate regions of Anagonia under its rule. In the year 1100 CE, Aldric Valdor III was crowned as the first monarch of the Kingdom of Anagonia, ushering in an era of relative stability and prosperity.
The only exception to the rule of governance for both Senior and Junior Cabinets is that of Cabinet Departments headed by military officials. These departments are primarily governed by the authorities of the Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy, and while they operate traditionally under the authority of the President, they may be sequestered by a reigning military official - elected by Joint Assembly of Chiefs and Commanding Officers - in times of national emergency.


Under the reign of the Valdor dynasty, Anagonia experienced a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity. Trade flourished, cultural exchange thrived, and the kingdom became a beacon of civilization in the tumultuous region. This era, known as the Third Golden Age of Anagonia, saw the rise of mutual cooperation between cultures, species, and races within the kingdom.
====Senior Cabinet====
The Senior Cabinet is appointed by President with Grand Congressional Approval. Exceptions are Military Cabinets which may be appointed by vote of Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis. Senior Cabinet consists of major essential government positions. Typically, all Senior Cabinet Departments operate with a specific objective, but some Departments also lead Junior Cabinet Departments as overseeing administrators.


However, the kingdom's fortunes began to wane in the year 1215 CE. King Aldric Valdor VI, young and immature, fell under the sway of corruption and paranoia, implementing draconian policies that divided the once-united nation. Provinces seceded, and war broke out as rebellion simmered across Anagonia. For 35 years, the kingdom descended into tyranny, with King Valdor VI's despotic rule sparking widespread discontent among the populace.

In a climactic battle along the plains of Saratoga, King Valdor VI met his end, marking the beginning of the kingdom's sharp decline. Despite attempts by the despotic military to retain control, intellectuals in the rebellious provinces began to advocate for democratic ideals and the establishment of a fairer government free from monarchic rule.
====Junior Cabinet====
The Junior Cabinet can be appointed by President with Grand Congressional Approval, though typically with the possibility of sole Grand Congressional appointment. The only exceptions include the Military Cabinets which may be appointed by vote of Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis. The Junior Cabinet consists of minor essential government positions which serve under the Senior Cabinet. This list is commonly known as the ''"alphabet cabinet"'' to those in the Confederate Government.


After a prolonged period of conflict, General Marcus Stormwind led a successful rebellion against the kingdom, proclaiming victory and establishing the foundations for the Free Republic of Anagonia. As outlying provinces rallied to the republic's cause, the core provinces remained under the grip of the fading monarchy, led by Lord Protector Regulus Darkbane. However, a temporary ceasefire was brokered between the two factions, paving the way for a tentative peace.

After years of intermittent warfare, the Free Republic emerged victorious over the Kingdom of Anagonia, leading to the formal dissolution of the monarchy. General Cladius Valdunis extended clemency to the kingdom's people and forces, offering a path to reconciliation and peace. In the aftermath of the war, the United Republic of Anagonia was founded, establishing a decentralized republican government with significant autonomy for constituent states.
===Law===
The Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy and the Constitution of the Confederate States of Anagonia stand as pillars of governance and protection within the nation. Ratified on September 15th, 0 After United Republic (1921 CE), these laws underscore the paramount importance of sovereignty, freedom, and the continuity of the Anagonian civilization.


Under the leadership of newly elected Chief Governor Cladius Valdunis, the United Republic began the arduous task of consolidating authority and establishing democratic governance. The adoption of a federal system ensured both individual rights and regional autonomy, laying the groundwork for a new era of cooperation and progress in Anagonia. With the first convention of the Republican Congress, the principles of regular elections and representative democracy were enshrined, heralding a future of stability and prosperity for the newly formed republic.
The Articles of the Armed Forces outline the role and responsibilities of the military, ensuring its commitment to safeguarding the nation's survival, upholding the rights and will of the people, and protecting against governmental actions that may endanger the nation's continuity. They establish mechanisms for government-military interaction, including the military's authority to veto policies deemed harmful to national interests, and provisions for secret actions when necessary for security.


=== The Age of Republics ===
Meanwhile, the Constitution of the Confederate States establishes the framework for governance, delineating the powers and responsibilities of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It enshrines the sovereignty of the people, guaranteeing fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and fair trial. The constitution emphasizes democracy and the rule of law, providing mechanisms for checks and balances among government branches and procedures for constitutional amendments.


The history of republics in Anagonia is a tale of resilience amidst adversity, characterized by the ebb and flow of political fortunes and societal evolution.
Together, these laws serve to uphold the principles of democracy, protect individual freedoms, and ensure the continuity and prosperity of the Anagonian civilization. They embody the shared commitment of Anagonia's leaders and citizens to govern justly, defend against threats, and foster a society founded on liberty, justice, and democratic principles.

In antiquity, the Republic of Rudavia emerged as a bastion of governance following the collapse of the Mal-Videnus Commonwealth. Its downfall in 15 BCE plunged the region into a Dark Age, marked by uncertainty and strife, which laid the groundwork for subsequent political transformations.
====Court System====
The court system in Anagonia is rooted in English common law principles, reflecting a tradition of legal practice that emphasizes precedent and judicial interpretation. Each state within the Confederacy maintains its own unique legal system, tailored to the standards of its people and the constitution of the respective state. This decentralized approach allows for flexibility and adaptation to local needs and values while ensuring consistency with overarching legal principles.


Amidst the chaos, the Republic of Anagonia arose in 23 CE, aspiring to establish itself amidst the remnants of ancient civilizations. However, the dream of republicanism was short-lived, as the ascendance of the Kingdom of Anagonia under King Aldric Valdor VI brought tyranny and oppression to the land. His despotic reign culminated in defeat in 1275 CE, paving the way for the emergence of the Free Republic of Anagonia under the leadership of General Marcus Stormwind.
Judicial review of legislative acts is a common practice not only at the congressional level but also within the states. This ensures that laws passed by legislative bodies align with constitutional provisions and do not infringe upon individual rights or exceed governmental authority. The judiciary serves as a critical check on the power of both the executive and legislative branches, safeguarding the principles of democracy and the rule of law.


The Free Republic of Anagonia enjoyed a brief period of prosperity before transitioning into the United Republic in 1362 CE. This new era embraced ideals of unity and cooperation, fostering unprecedented economic growth, cultural exchange, and diplomatic achievements, heralding the Fourth Golden Age of Anagonia.
Anagonia's court system operates independently and does not recognize outside influence, ensuring that justice is administered impartially and free from external pressures. This commitment to judicial autonomy strengthens public trust in the legal system and reinforces the nation's sovereignty.


However, internal discord and external pressures eventually led to the fracturing of the United Republic, culminating in the Anagonian Civil War of 1921 CE. Amidst the chaos, Colonel Tiberius Samsus emerged as a unifying force, founding the Confederate States of Anagonia on September 14th, 1921.
The Supreme Court of Anagonia, as the highest judicial authority, plays a pivotal role in upholding the rule of law and interpreting the constitution. Its decisions set precedents that guide lower courts and ensure consistency in legal interpretation across the Confederacy. While maintaining its independence, the Supreme Court remains committed to safeguarding individual rights and preserving the integrity of the legal system.


Thus, the saga of republics in Anagonia reflects the cyclical nature of history, where each rise and fall shapes the destiny of the nation and its people, underscoring the enduring resilience and spirit of the Anagonian people in the face of adversity.
The court system in Anagonia embodies a balance between tradition and innovation, maintaining a respect for legal heritage while adapting to meet the evolving needs of society. It serves as a cornerstone of the nation's commitment to justice, equality, and the protection of individual rights.


=== The Great War ===
====Legal System====
The legal system in Anagonia is a comprehensive framework designed to uphold the rule of law, administer justice, and regulate societal conduct. Rooted in a blend of English common law principles and indigenous legal customs, it reflects a balance between tradition and modernity tailored to meet the needs of Anagonian society.


In 1921 CE, the United Republic of Anagonia faced internal turmoil and regional divisions, culminating in the devastating Anagonian Civil War. Led by Master Sergeant Tiberius Samsus, remnants of the United Republic Military waged a brutal campaign to reunify the fractured nation. On September 14th, 1921, Tiberius emerged victorious, establishing the Confederate States of Anagonia and becoming its inaugural President.
Key components of the legal system include diverse legal institutions such as courts, tribunals, and regulatory bodies, which collectively contribute to the administration of justice and dispute resolution. Central to the system is the principle of judicial independence, ensuring impartiality and integrity in the judiciary.


In the following years, Anagonia faced external challenges, including conflicts with Marquesan and its allies. In 1931 CE, Marquesan declared war on Korea, prompting Anagonia's entry into the conflict on the side of Korea. This alliance was solidified as tensions escalated, leading to Anagonia establishing a wartime garrison in Chamorro. The Great War begins in earnest, dragging nearly the entire region of Esvanovia into it in some form or another.
Anagonia's legal framework encompasses a broad array of laws, statutes, and regulations governing civil, criminal, and administrative matters. Legal education and training initiatives play a crucial role in nurturing legal expertise and fostering a culture of legal literacy among citizens.


Around 1947 CE, regional strife plagued the Confederate States with the nation of Sarda declaring war. The Anagonian-Sardan War begins in earnest. The first few years see wide battlefield success for the Kingdom, but universally fierce Anagonian resistance and tenacity combined with an embittered insurgency sap the Kingdom of resources. By 1950 the Anagonian-Sardan War turned against the Kingdom, which was already weary after twelve years of warfare. The Kingdom’s military starts to falter as the nobility and Merchant Unions lost faith in the King and fail to meet obligations. Also on the same year, Peace negotiations between Anagonia, Meridon, Neo-Korea and their adversaries in Marquesan and Aureumterra occur. Kaskaida refuses to take part. These negotiations helped show an end to region-wide conflict
The legal system prioritizes access to justice for all citizens, supported by legal aid services, pro bono representation, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. It also emphasizes ongoing legal reform and innovation to address evolving societal needs and challenges.


By 1951 the Anagonian-Sardan War ends. The Kingdom cedes all territory that they had invaded and agrees to pay heavy reparations to help repair the territory. Also in the same year, the Kaskaidan navy attempts a final dash against Anagonia in an act of revenge. Meridon comes to the aid of the Confederate States and by the conclusion of the [[Battle of Patria]], Kaskaida loses large swaths of territory to Anagonia and never again sees a large naval force to call its own.
The legal system in Anagonia serves as a cornerstone of governance and societal cohesion, embodying the nation's commitment to the rule of law, protection of individual rights, and the pursuit of justice and equity for all.

Introduction

Official Banner of Anagonia

Anagonia (pronounced An-a-goun-nia), officially the Confederate States of Anagonia, is a large nation that exists within the region of Esvanovia renowned for its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and vibrant biodiversity which includes non-human sapient life. Situated around the heart of the Anagonian Ocean and on two continential landmasses, Anagonia spans approximately 21,864,400 square kilometers, encompassing a primary territorial claim which surrounds the majestic Magnus Draco Oceanum, also known as the Great Dragon Ocean. The nation's territory is divided between the continents of Minor Kistavich, where the mainland is located, and Major Kistavich, which hosts the rest of the Territories across the Great Dragon Ocean.

Home to seven states—Lexington, Plymouth, Arkansis, Orgath, Liberty, Saratoga, and Imperius—and sixteen territories—West Islands, Wildlands, Ashilosa, Thetanacia, North Teustredia, South Teustredia, Thireatheria, Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotichia, Sarder, Wildlantaria, and the Stranestry Islands—Anagonia boasts a rich tapestry of cultural traditions and historical significance. Each state and territory contributes to the nation's unique identity, with distinct landmarks, festivals, and customs that reflect its heritage. Several non-human semi-sapient wildlife and non-human sapient citizens call these lands and territories home.

With its captivating scenery, fascinating wildlife and citizenry, and vibrant communities, Anagonia as a whole is a land of endless exploration and discovery which draws in visitors from far and wide to experience its wonders firsthand.

History

Main article: History of Anagonia & Its People

Etymology

The etymology of "Anagonia" intertwines with the ancient history and cultural tapestry of the land, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped its meaning over time. At the heart of this etymology lies the intersection of two distinct cultures: the Seurians, akin to the Anglo-Saxons, and the indigenous Anagonians.

Historians, archeologists, and etymologists all agree that the native language of modern Anagonians and their unique name must derive from some experience with the Seurians prior to 6967 BCE.

Around 400 BCE, it was historically recorded both in ancient texts and archeological findings that Ancient Seuria, the ancient homeland of the Seurians on the continent of Major Kistavich, waged a violent war against the Anagonian people and her neighbors under the leadership of the Ancient Seurian known as "Oisean Macmathan". Rikor Hak, the well-known Second Disciple of Melkos, has well preserved journals and written texts on his and his armies experiences in fending off the "Seurian Empire".

It is through these journals, texts, and recorded historical events that etymologists have been able to conclude that Seuria played a heavy role in Anagonian language syntax and development. Seuria, which in modern day exists as a diminished island nation north of nations of Arcadie and Kaskaida and resides in the Northern Ocean, has had long-lasting cultural, linguistic, and other influences on Anagonian culture.

The supposed prefix "Ana-" and suffix "-gonia" further enrich the meaning of "Anagonia." The prefix "Ana-" could potentially denote a sense of primordial or native essence, suggesting an origin deeply rooted in the land itself. Meanwhile, the suffix "-gonia" commonly denotes a land or territory, implying that Anagonia is not just a place but a distinct realm imbued with its own unique character and significance. Together, these linguistic elements encapsulate the essence of Anagonia as a land of ancient heritage, mythical connections, and enduring legacy.

The name "Anagonia" carries echoes of both Seurian and Anagonian heritage. Through meticulous research and lore, it has been deciphered to translate as "Native Dragon Man," offering insight into the ancestral relationship between the Anagonians and the mythical dragons that roamed their land. This interpretation suggests a profound connection between the indigenous people and the awe-inspiring creatures that inhabited their midst. It also supposed that perhaps at one point, the word "Anagonia" could have used by Seurians as an identifier to what an Anagonian could have been before their name.

The term "Dragon Man" within the context of Anagonia evokes images of a society intertwined with the mythos of dragons, perhaps revered as guardians or spiritual beings. It speaks to a time when dragons may have played a significant role in the lives and legends of the Anagonian people, shaping their culture, beliefs, and even their very identity. Thus, "Anagonia" serves as a testament to the enduring bond between Anagonia and the mystical realm of dragons, a bond woven deep into the fabric of Anagonian history and lore, and a bond that persist to Modern Day as Anagonians continue pilgrimages to see their dragon kin.

Geography and Climate

Anagonia, a vast and diverse nation spanning approximately 21,864,400 square kilometers, boasts a varied landscape characterized by rugged mountains, sweeping plains, and coastal regions. With its mainland and capital situated southeast of the heart of the Anagonian Ocean, the nation itself encompasses and surrounds the magnificent Magnus Draco Oceanum, also known as the Great Dragon Ocean, which serves as the centerpiece of the nation's geography via its vast expanse.

Elaboration on the Executive Branch Structure

The Executive Branch consists of Departments of the President and Vice-President presiding at the top and overseeing all departments underneath them, within constitutional limits. The Department of the President is primarily responsible with the formation of new departments as well as restructuring of any department within their authority. Since the governance of the 8th President of the Confederate States, President Rudolf Jarod Hart (55 AUR - 60 AUR), the Executive Branch has consisted of two levels of Cabinet Departments.

The first level of Cabinets, the Senior Cabinet, consists of Departments with multiple roles and considered extremely essential to the functioning of proper government and support to and for the Departments of the President and Vice President. The Senior Cabinet generally consists of one singular Department which consists of several roles. Some of the Senior Cabinets also oversee the Junior Cabinet Departments.

The second level of Cabinets, the Junior Cabinet, consists of Departments with singular roles and objectives and thereby are considered not generally essential to the functioning of proper government, with the exception of CASA due to national security importance. Generally the heads of these singular Cabinet Departments report to superiors in the Senior Cabinet, with the primary objective of supporting the Senior Cabinet in the functioning of everyday governance and national security.

The only exception to the rule of governance for both Senior and Junior Cabinets is that of Cabinet Departments headed by military officials. These departments are primarily governed by the authorities of the Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy, and while they operate traditionally under the authority of the President, they may be sequestered by a reigning military official - elected by Joint Assembly of Chiefs and Commanding Officers - in times of national emergency.

Senior Cabinet

The Senior Cabinet is appointed by President with Grand Congressional Approval. Exceptions are Military Cabinets which may be appointed by vote of Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis. Senior Cabinet consists of major essential government positions. Typically, all Senior Cabinet Departments operate with a specific objective, but some Departments also lead Junior Cabinet Departments as overseeing administrators.

Court System

The court system in Anagonia is rooted in English common law principles, reflecting a tradition of legal practice that emphasizes precedent and judicial interpretation. Each state within the Confederacy maintains its own unique legal system, tailored to the standards of its people and the constitution of the respective state. This decentralized approach allows for flexibility and adaptation to local needs and values while ensuring consistency with overarching legal principles.

Judicial review of legislative acts is a common practice not only at the congressional level but also within the states.
