Peremont , officially the Peremontese Republic is a sovereign, unitary, parliamentary republic located in Southeast Euclea. Covering an area of approximately 241,000 square kilometers, the nation is the Nth largest in Euclea by area. From clockwise, the nation borders Gaullica, and Etruria. Additionally, Peremont shares maritime borders with Emessa, Montecara, and Emessa.

Anatomically modern humans first arrived to Peremont an estimated 43,000 years ago. These humans would diverge and give way to numerous Epipalaeolithic and Mesolithic cultures, such as the Llaresian and Arian cultures found along the northern and southern coasts respectively. Agriculturalists first arrived to the peninsula sometime around the start of the 6th millennium BCE, and introduced developed crops such as cereals and legumes. The Beaker culture is the first Chalcolithic culture believed to be present on the peninsula. The culture stretched from Peremont in the south towards Gaullica in the north. Bronze working appeared sometime around 1800 BCE, and it is at this point that a broader Proto-Tenic culture is seen to arise in the area. Piraeans from the west also began to colonize the peninsula, establishing several important trade cities. The area would be conquered by the Solarians over the course of the 2nd century BCE. Its conquest would begin the process of Solarianization over the area.

Following the collapse of the Solarian Empire during the 5th century CE, Peremont saw several invasions from migrating Weranic tribes and the succeeding Tangames. The Verliquoian Empire re-established Imperial authority over the peninsula with conquests during the 750s CE. Despite the Verliquoian presence in the peninsula, numerous city-states and republics arose like what was seen in neighboring Etruria. These city-states were largely self-governing and were largely democratic in their nature, with the majority of male citizens being allowed to participate in government. This remained the norm for Peremont until the end of the 18th century. Following the establishment of the First Etrurian Republic in 1784, notable republicans Valerián Vilagrassa and Ermeneixildo Albarraçín living in the Republic of Louzona formally asked Etrurian First Citizen Francesco Cassio Caciarelli to intervene and introduce revolutionary liberalism to the republic, which still maintained many feudal structures. Caciarelli obliged and invaded Louzona in 1785. In its place, Etruria established the Cisaventine Republic, a sister republic, with Vilagrassa as consul. Revolutionary Etruria continued toppling the old feudal city-states of Peremont, establishing the Transaventine Republic in 1786, and then the Republic of Lusitania in 1789. On Christmas day, 1790, these republics formally united into the First Peremontese Republic. This republic would last until 1812 when it was defeated by Gaullican forces.

Following the collapse of the First Republic, Peremont was reverted to its pre-revolutionary state, with the previous patchwork of city-state conservative republics re-established. As the Euclean Spring raged on across the continent, the republics of Louzona, Canosa, Arezana and Moriya, and Artabria formally united, creating the United Provinces of Peremont in 1830. This marks what is commonly referred to as the Reorganizaçión, the period which saw the reunification of Peremont. Following the First Peremontese War of Unification in 1839 and the Second Peremontese War of Unification in 1842, the Second Peremontese Republic was declared on 11 September, 1842. The Second Republic carried over many of the institutions of the previous First Republic, and would spend much of the remaining decades of the 19th century centralizing the state. Peremont was one of the first countries to be invaded at the outbreak of the Great War, and the nation was quickly occupied by Gaullica. A strong resistance movement grew under Gaullican occupation, with the resistance movement considered to be one of the most-effective anti-Entente resistance movement during the Great War. Following the defeat of the Gaullica in 1934, much of Peremont had been self-liberated by resistance forces. In 1935, the current constitution was voted into effective, establishing the modern Peremontese state.

Politically, the nation is officially a unitary parliamentary socialist republic. The nation's legislature, the Convençion Naçionale has legislative supremacy and is considered the to be the primary representative of the people. The executive is split between the 4-member Consulate serving as the head of state and chief executive and the Premier serving as the head of government. No constitutional courts exists as a special parliamentary committee serves a similar role. The Peremontese constitution makes explicit references to socialist ideas and theories, although they have largely been ignored by successive governments. Since the end of the Great War, the nation has been dominated politically by the Socialist Workers' Party.

Peremont is considered to be a middle power with substantial soft power thanks to its former colonial empire. The nation is considered to be post-industrial with a very high standard of living. Under the successive governments of the Socialist Workers' Party, Peremont consistently ranks highly in workers' rights, economic competitiveness, and gender equality. The nation is an active member of the Euclean Community and is a member of the Euclozone. Additionally, Peremont is a founding member of the Association of Solarian Nations, Aurean Forum, Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs, and International Trade Organization. It is also an observer in the Association for International Socialism.

Etymology

The official name of the nation is the Peremontese Republic and is derived from the location of the nation of the country on the Peremontese Peninsula. The name is believed to originate from the Solarian phrase per montēs meaning "through [the] mountains." During the Solarian Empire, the peninsula was divided into the two provinces of Cisaventina and Transaventina. To travel from Solaria proper to either Cisaventina or Transaventina, one had to go "through the mountains," with "mountains" serving as a reference for the Aventines which dominate both the modern day border of Peremont and bisect the country north-south.

Following the collapse of the Solarian Empire during the 5th century, the peninsula would come under the control of Verliquoian Empire. As Vulgar Solarian gave way to Old Gaullican, the peninsula gained the name Paremont, a contraction of the Old Gaullican par les monts which is a direct localization of the Solarian phrase. Likewise, the Peremontese languages underwent the same development, with the names Permont and Parmont taking over the Gaullican name in usage during the 14th century. At some point between the 14th and 17th centuries, the extra "e" was regained, making the name of the peninsula, and by extension the country, Peremont in Artabrian, Lusitanian, and Getton, and Paremont in Gelabrian.

Because Peremont is officially plurinational, the Solarian name Respublica Permontica is used on official documents and currency.

History

Prehistory

  • Human arrive ca. 43 ky.
  • Agriculturalists arrive 6th millennium BCE from Tsabara(?), assimilated into the already present pre-Neolithic Llaresian and Arian cultures.
  • Beaker culture migrates into the area from ??? (wherever Yamnaya culture should originate from. Could even originate in Peremont). Beaker peoples wipe out the Neolithic groups present in Peremont.
  • Proto-Tenics from Gaullica migrate to Peremont and intermingle with the already present Beaker culture. Beaker peoples gradually become Tenic through intermingling and adoption of Tenic customs.
  • Simultaneously, Piraean and Semitic (whenever we get a Phoenecia) colonization of the coast. Set up the notable colonies of Hereklea, Antipolis, Sybaris, and Rhode.
  • Solarian conquest of the peninsula over the course of the 3rd century BCE. Considered the end of Prehistoric Peremont.

Solarian Peremont

  • Space intentionally left blank, will be worked on whenever the Solarian Empire gets worked on.

Middle Ages

  • Weranic tribes, specifically the !Visigoths and !Suebi migrate, and settle in Peremont. Largely preserved Solarian culture and customs, specifically bathing culture. Laid the foundation for the modern regional identities of Peremont.
  • Conquest of Peremont by the Verliquoian Empire during the 7th and 8th centuries. Conquest sparked by successive succession and civil wars of the !Visigothic Kingdom.
  • Tagamic migrations during the late 870s and early 880s.
  • Due to the Aventines, medieval communes developed across the peninsula. While not nearly as influential as the Etrurian states, they still held significant sway on Solarian trade.
  • Old Swiss Confederacy-style confederation emerged in the late-13th century. Founded to further common interests of the city-states, primarily maintaining peace along important Aventine trade routes.
  • !Swabian War fought against the Verliquoian in the early 14th century effectively gave the peninsula independence. The peninsula remained part of the Verliquoian but was acknowledged as a separate entity from Gaullica proper.
  • City-states consolidated power as larger city-states invaded and annexed neighboring polities and over the remainders of the 14th and 15th centuries the modern day cantons had formed. These city-states turned cantons are Louzona, Valls, Oliveira, Montemayor, Alpens, Guissona, Montalegre, and Tarbena.

Early Modern

  • Cultural exchange between Etrurian polities and Peremontese cantons from trade led to the quick emergence of the renaissance in the 15th century.
  • Under the Peremontese renaissance, arts, architecture styles, etc flourished. Peremontese renaissance architecture emerges after mixing with native Gothic styles. Great works like !La Celestina, !Amadís of Gaula, and other poetic compositions were produced during this time period. Painters like !El Greco and !Pedro Berruguete do their thing.
  • Discovery of the Asterias in 1488 changed political landscape. Cantons jointly funded expeditions to the Asterias (This is the only way I think I can make colonialism work. Open to ideas). Montalegre and Oliveira jointly funded an expedition that ultimately led to the discovery and claiming of Belmonte and Maracao. Other six would jointly discover Zaralaja and Nuxica (and any other Spanish Asterian nations I'm forgetting).
  • !Italian Wars over colonial findings, Peace of X in 1589 gave joint administration over colonies to the Confederacy as a whole. This included free movement of colonists from any of the cantons to the colonies, was previously restricted to only "citizens" of the respective cantons that held ownership.
  • Disillusioned with the Vespasian dominated papacy, the Amendist reformation quickly spread through the cantons. The cantons were split between Amendism and Catholicism and led to the Peremontese Wars of Religion. These lasted from 1527 until 1536 and resulted in minor territorial changes. Remained neutral during the Amendist Wars, although the forces of cantons were hired as mercenaries by both sides.
  • At some point fought a war against Povelia and lost Belmonte? Same thing but with Gaullica and Nuxica?
  • Remained neutral during Ten Years' War, cantons' forces were hired as mercenaries again, mostly by Gaullica.

Revolutionary Peremont

  • Despite the presence of civic republicanism since the 12th century, cantons still utilized many feudal institutions, particularly between the capital city and the conquered city states.
  • Enlightenment thinkers Valerián Vilagrassa and Ermeneixildo Albarraçín published treatise calling for a centralized Peremontese state. Forced to move around a lot as they would be forced out of cities. The pair would eventually meet up in Louzona.
  • Following the outbreak of the Etrurian revolution, Vilagrassa and Albarraçín, on behalf of Confederation as a whole, formally invited Etrurian First Citizen Francesco Cassio Caciarelli to "liberate" the people of Louzona from feudalism.
  • Caciarelli conquered Louzona in February, 1785, following with Montemayor and Guissona in March and May. These would be grouped in the Cisaventine Republic in July, 1985 with Vilagrassa as consul. Revolutionary Etruria, together with the Cisaventine Republic, would continue to conquer the rest of the peninsula, establishing the Transaventine Republic out of the cantons of Valls, Alpens, and Tarbena in 1786, and the Lusitanian Republic, out of Montalegre and Oliveira, in 1789.
  • On Christmas day, 1790, these three republics formally united as the First Peremontese Republic. Some tension existed between the newly formed Peremont and Revolutionary Etruria, which had reformed into the "Republic of Heaven," because Peremont wasn't killing all the Amendists.
  • Resistance to reforms existed in the old Catholic cantons, uprising put down jointly between Republic of Heaven and the Amendist cantons of Peremont in 1793 and 1795. In effort to curb future uprisings, the revolutionary government implemented harsh anti-religious policies aimed against both Amendists and Catholics.
  • Following the disastrous defeat of joint-Etrurian republican and Peremontese forces at the Battle of X, the republic formally sued for peace with Gaullica in 1812. Following the Treaty of Roriz in January, 1815, the peninsula was reverted to its pre-war state.

19th century

  • Liberal agitation continued as the Old Aristocracy reverted the reforms of the First Republic.
  • First Republic highlighted the general population's desire for a central state. Additionally gave rise to a common Peremontese identity that did not exist pre-war.
  • As the Euclean Spring continued to rage across the continent, Louzona, Guissona, and Montemayor fell to liberal revolutions (thinking somewhat along the lines of the Three Glorious Days). The three formally united into the United Provinces of Peremont on 20 April, 1830. This sparks the beginning of the Reorganizaçión, or Peremontese reunification.
  • Taking advantage of liberal protests and uprisings in the cantons of Valls, Alpens, and Tarbena, the United Provinces invaded in 1839. The subsequent First Peremontese War of Unification lasted only five weeks and resulted in the annexation of Alpens, Tarbena, and Valls into the United Provinces.
  • In reaction to the Brothers' War, Montelegre and Oliveira united in the Second Lusitanian Republic.
  • The Second Peremontese War of Unification began on 28 June, 1842 and saw the United Provinces invade Lusitania. The war ended in a United Provinces victory and subsequently declared the formation of the Second Peremontese Republic on 11 September, 1842.
  • The Second Republic was largely set up similar to the First Republic and was heavily influenced by Enlightenment ideas.
  • Peremont would attempt to colonize Coius under New Imperialism. Never was seriously pursued as the new government focused mainly on centralization efforts and attempts to break down canton identities.
  • Industrial revolution and stuff.

20th century

  • Country hit particularly hard during the Great Collapse as nation was predominantly rural and newly industrialized (thinking vaguely like Italy?). Led to an increase in militancy of the Peremontese left-wing, which was forced underground by the 1920s.
  • At the outbreak the Great War, Peremont officially declared neutrality.
  • Gaullica would invade Peremont shortly after the outbreak. Peremont denied Gaullica free passage to move troops and material through Peremont between Gaullica proper and its Coian holdings. The country was quickly overran because it was naively not expecting to fight Gaullica.
  • The left-wing, who has been underground since the 1920s, form the core to a Peremontese resistance movement. Peremontese movement is broadly like the Yugoslav resistance movement. Would be recognized as the Grand Alliance liberation force in 1931 and began receiving official support. Ideally would be the most effective resistance movement during the Great War.

Contemporary

  • Because the resistance movement was dominated by the previously forced underground left-wing, serious consideration was taken on the establishment of a socialist republic like that seen in Kirenia. Ultimately decided against because the new government wanted !Marshall Plan funding.
  • Despite this, the newly drafted constitution was ideologically charged to the left, making explicit references to socialism, rights of workers, etc. On 16 May, 1935, the Third Peremontese Republic was created, establishing a "constitutionally socialist republic" and the object of the republic was to "ensure a transition to socialism."
  • These provisions were, and continue to be, largely ignored by subsequent governments.
  • In 1943, Etruria began the Solarian War and launched an invasion of Peremont. The Aventines, along with the mostly veteran Armed Forces, resulted in a stalemate along the front by the Winter, 1944. Stalemate broken in 1946 following Gaullica's entry in the war.
  • In 1948, Peremont would ratify the Treaty of Kesselbourg, formally joining the newly created Euclean Community.
  • Political dominance by the Socialist Workers' Party (PSO). Pre-War Social Democrats (PDS) shift into the nation's default opposition, gradually become centrist and centre-right.
  • Under the PSO, Peremont becomes a major proponent of anti-imperialism and decolonization within the EC.
