Elaklania, officially the Federation of Elaklnia (Esmerian: La Federación de Elaklania), is a One-party state located in western Asteria Superior in Kylaris. It is bordered to the north by the Cassier, to the east by Chistovodia, and to the south by Eldmark and Ardesia.

Elaklania has around 77,000,000 inhabitants, making it the largest Esmerian speaking population outside of Esmeria itself, notably however about 152,000 of the population also speak the native language of Elawe, which is taught and used commonly over Esmerian in the Special Autonomy of the Elawe Nation which is a special autonomy located to the very south.

Elaklania is split into 8 states, 1 speical autonomy, and 1 regional district where the capital of Puerto Bontia is located, it is the largest city in Elaklania, some other major urban centers would include:

Etymology

The name Elaklania finds its origins in the word Elakla from the Elawe language and their oral history, in the founding myth of the Elawe it said they came from the south where the land bore nothing and was dry, so pleading with to the gods for aid the Elawe were pointed north by a alligator. Once the Elawe made it north they found fertile land and rain, however they would quickly grow too spoiled and eat themsleves to the point where no more food could be grown. The gods enraged by the Elawe wasting their gift would kill half of their population off letting the rest live, the remaining Elawe would take the namd Elawe from then on as a remindering of their shame. The actual etymology for the word comes from the Elawe word for hunger (E-la-we) this would go on to effect the name the Elawe gave to the land they lived on, which they would call land of hunger or just "Elakla". Once the Paretians colonized the nation they would go to translate the native word Elakla into Esmerian making the word Elaklania.

History

Early History

Ruins of Istachatta, Nuevo Esmeira

Hypothsisized to be originally settled by nomads from the south of Asteria Superior the region of modern day Elaklania would prove most benafical to its first inhabitents as it boasted a great amount of land for agriculture along with a large variety of flora and fauna. These early inhabitents would found a number of villages and sites though few can be found near the damper regions of the nation because of erosion, the most famous of these suriving early settlements would be sites like Oklawaha in Desierto, Chuluota in Ahi y Flores, and Istachatta in Nuevo Esmeira.

The Elawe Alliance

The Elawe would rise and fall through out the next few generations but by 1450 the "Great Peace" would be achieved by the largest Elawe tribes creating what most would see as a type of decentralized government. The Elawe Alliance as it would be translated as by Paretian explorers would govern a large portion of south Elaklania with a large part of the north west staying unclaimed by any one tribe.

Elawe Alliance council, Speical Autonomy of the Elawe Nation

The Alliance would take a fiercely peaceful stance on most matters concerning them but they would just as likely take a fiercely violent stance if the Alliance agreeded to it, it is said this odd attachment to either extreme is caused by the Alliance forcing all leaders to participate in any conflict they start or agree too. Even though the Alliance was decentralized the Alliance was able to field a seizeable army for the time about 500 men per region, it is because of this that the Alliance actually managed to greatly harm the Paretians in some early battles.    

Paretian Colonization

First explored in 1538 by Captain Emil Jacob Fernández the Paretians would find the new land a very promising place to colonize; with plently of land to farm and build upon. Returning home Fernández would fund his second expedition to the territory meeting the Elawe natives for the first time, it is on this ecpedition that the name "Elaklania" would be created by Fernádez himself. In his last expedition to the territory Fernández would establish the port of Puerto Bontia in 1541, Fernández would go to attempt to establish a peaceful diologe with the Elawe inviting the leaders of the Elawe Alliance to the port multiple times before signing the Treaty of Puerto Bontia which formed a new colonial goverment that worked with closely with the Elawe.

Emil Jacob Fernández

The Paretian Monarchy however would be disgusted by Fernández's incolence in working with the natives, they would send 500 troops to Puerto Bontia commanded by General Julio Domínguez under his orders they would remove Fernández from power, and using his pull with the Elawe they would trick their leaders into a trap before forcing them to sign the 2nd Treaty of Puerto Bontia. The 2nd treaty would strip all the rights that were given to the Elawe and force them to accept that Paretia had the right right to rule all land in the region. The leadership of the Elawe would partially killed; though two leaders would manage to escape and warn the Alliance, this would begin what most refer to as the Paretian-Elawe War. Paretian colonial troops would at first take some heavy loses to Elawe forces but after changing their tactics and reciving reinforcements it would quickly change in the favor of the Paretians, by 1442 the Elawe Alliance would collapse and General Dominguez would finally establish the Paretian Colony of Elaklania though fighting with the Elawe would last till the 1460s. The Colonial regime from then on would take on a policy of Esmerian-ization which by means of forced eduction, intrduction of colonialists, and conversion to Catholicism would transform the Elawe to what the Paretians would call "Elaklanos" a mixed race that would make up the Administrative vast majority of the colony by 1589. The Elaklanos would often take merchant or lower administrative roles becoming a powerful force in colonial politics till 1721 when Gaullica and Paretia would begin fighting.

Gaullican Colonization

After the war with Paretia in 1721 Gaullica would annex colonial Elaklania renaming it to "Elaklaterre" the local population of Elaklania would be firmly Esmerianized by this point however, something that Gaullicans would find very annoying in their attempts to influence the culture of the region. The Elaklanos many of whom who had volunteered to fight for Paretia during the war would be very ressistance to the efforts by Gaullican authorties to Gaullicize the population and would engage in efforts of passive ressistance against the Gaullicans throwing a great wrench in their planes. From then on the Gaullicans would shift from trying to pacify the colony to merely extracting its wealth, this would increase the benfits that the Gaullican Monarchy got from the colony but would also ruin any chances that they had in changing the Elaklanos. Some methods of economic persuasion would be tried on the Elaklanos with much more success than with the brute force method but it would also lead to one of the causes for the Asterian War of Independence.  

Asterian War of Independence

Begining in 1764 the Asterisn War of Indepedence would first be surped on by the the Kindalk Massacre where Gaullican troops would fire upon innocent Sheahan protesters, the story would spread rapidly across Elaklania inspiring protests and munties from the Elaklanian population. In 1765 the famous Continental Convention of Asteris would be held to address the matter of rebbellion against the Gaullicans; with the main repersenative of Elaklania being a former Colonial Guard General by the name of Manuel Andre Osceola though othet important figures like Father Issac Pozo and Luz Nores were also present.

Manuel Andre Osceola

Osceola would be the main reason Elaklania joined the United Colonies, as a stuanch liberal he belived that revolution must be a united effort and that all his fellow colonies were brothers. However Osceola was also a harsh critic of the government and actively supported the formation of a monarchy instead of any other system beliving it the only to perserve freedom and libertity in the long term, this would earn him scorn with Father Issac Pozo who was a staunce Republican but the two were more foucsed on fighting the Gaullicans at the time to argue the matter too much. Osceola would led the Elaklania campaign personally with his detachment of former Colonial Guard; taking losses at the Battle of Puerto Bontia but managing to give the Gaullicans a decsive defeat at the Battle of las Colinas Doradas Osceola would be driven to the countryside where he would famously rally the peaseants to his cause recuting them into his army and capturing Gaullican equipment to support them. Osceola from then on would begin a campaign of proto guerrilla warfare against the Gaullicans draining their resources as more convenital fronts happened in the north, by 1767 the Gaullicans would start making gains against the General costing many of their soliders lives but back in Euclea the Gaullicans would be invaded by Estmere and Etruria drawing the Gaullicas focus from the war in Asteris along with supporting the rebels materially.

Arrival of Osceola's forces to sign the Treaty of Vicalvi

By 1771 the Elaklanians would have a few victories under their belt with the biggest being the 2nd Battle of Puerto Bontia a joint effort by Osceola and the Emstmere navy, but by that point though Gaullica would be on the brink of ruin and would be forced into signing the Treaty of Vicalvi recongizing the United Colonies as a indepent goverment and giving up their claims on the region.

The First Revolution

With independence for the United Colonies achieved Osceola would attempt to work with the UC Government in stabliziation efforts for the young nation, however Osceola would quickly figure out that Osceola's wishes for a monarchy were being ignored.
