Gano was a Koldan resistance leader and the first president of the Republic of Kolda from 1984 to 2009. Gano is considered the founding figure of modern Kolda and a key anti-colonialist thinker and leader. Originally leading the Koldan Liberation Front as a commander, the veteran of the Great War transitionend to politics and built modern Kolda with the KLF-U. Politically described as an anti-colonialist and socialist leader, Gano is criticized for harsh repression of dissent and poor treatment of the Arrivee minority.
==Early Career==
Seynabou Francois Gano was born at some point in early 1939, in the remote community around 75 miles east of Tiaovoune within the Banguala river delta. Gano was raised along with 4 other siblings to a family of fisherman who had been converted to Catholicism several years prior. Seynabou was quickly proven to be much smarter than his siblings, and thus at age 11 was sent to Tiaovoune Catholic Boarding to receive a greater education. Gano write’s “religious education was created to deny me identity”, despite this at the time, Gano was described as an exceptional student with him receiving high honors upon graduation in 1957. With his degree, Gano traveled to Saint-Paul seeking acceptance into Saint-Paul Catholic University, however upon arrival he was denied entrance upon his citizenship status. {{efn|Gano was a Status C citizen, a designation given to Leubar, Kenouga and Arabs by the Brissican government|}},From there, Gano took upon a number of jobs such as busboy and a shoe polisher for Saint-Paul’s elite class. In 1961, Gano signed up for service in the Brissican Overseas Brigade upon the promise of re-classification as “Status A” citizens.
==Military Service==
===Great War===
Around 4,500 Koldans living in Saint-Paul registered for service, being placed in a specialized unit known as the 7th Colored Brigade nicknamed the “Mighty 7th”. Initially being deployed to assist with logistics as drivers and grave diggers for the rest of the Brissican Military forces, the 7th Brigade was finally deployed in 1963 in the Xueyan Campaign.
===Veterans Movement===
Upon the end of his service in 1966, Gano returned to civilian life without any reward or increased citizenship status. This experience of fighting alongside socialist and democratic forces against the imperialist powers in the Great War inspired veterans of the 7th to protest a law that banned Koldan’s from utilizing public taxis in Saint-Paul. Although initially repressed by police, they were soon joined by service workers who marched on City Hall demanding the policy be changed. When the military was called to respond, some veterans took up arms and began clashing with the military. Gano described this moment as key “protest was no longer the answer, those who saw war knew a revolution was the only answer”. It was at this time, Gano would meet some of his closest allies and future enemies. Ferdinand Bachlet, a socialist academic who later became a key asset in securing foreign assistance. Ibrahim Souman, a Muslim veteran who would later lead the Islamist faction of the KLF and finally Adama Dembou, a liberal politician who would become the face of the nonviolent movement. These forces would come together in 1967 to form the Kolda People’s Front, named for the ancient city of Kolda. Soon, however, Gano would be arrested in a police raid on a KPF meeting place.
==Politcal Career==
===Imprisonmeant===
Gano would be charged with conspiracy of disorderly conduct and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 1968. Originally jailed at Saint-Paul Department Jail he would be transferred to Gran Il'e Prison. Upon his arrival, Gano gained respect and acclaim among the prisoners, who allied with the Koldan prisoners. In 1970, a series of letters from Gano to Ibrahim Souman was published as "Notes on the Koldan People" These would form the basis of Koldan nationalism as Gano connected the ancient history of the Koldan Empire with "the political struggle against colonialism". Souman who had continued the Koldan insurgency as the KLF distributed the book through underground publishing as the book was banned in 1971. With his work, Gano became internationally recognized as a political prisoner and thus began the "Free Gano" campaign. Meanwhile, Souman began an active insurgency in 1973 declaring the Great Alaafiya. Gano began to fall out with Souman however due to religious differences as Souman believed Kolda should reclaim Islam while Gano believed in a secular socialist state. Facing international pressure and Gano's good behavior in prison led to his release in 1976. In his first statement after release, Gano claimed his sentence had led to "de-radicalization". In a TV interview, Gano claimed that political change over military action was the path to a "multi-ethnic future".

Initially being deployed to assist with logistics as drivers and grave diggers for the rest of the Brissican Military forces, the 7th Brigade was finally deployed in 1963 in the Xueyan Campaign.
===Veterans Movement===
Upon the end of his service in 1966, Gano returned to civilian life without any reward or increased citizenship status. This experience of fighting alongside socialist and democratic forces against the imperialist powers in the Great War inspired veterans of the 7th to protest a law which banned Koldan’s from utilizing public taxis in Saint-Paul. Although initially repressed by police, they were soon joined by service workers who marched on City Hall demanding the policy be changed. When the military was called to respond, some veterans took up arms and began clashing with the military. Gano described this moment as key “protest was no longer the answer, those who saw war knew a revolution was the only answer”. It was at this time, Gano would meet some of his closest allies and future enemies. Ferdinand Bachlet, an socialist academic who later became a key asset in securing foreign assistance. Ibrahim Souman, a Muslim veteran who would later lead the Islamist faction of the KLF and finally Adama Dembou, a liberal politician who would become the face of the nonviolent movement. These forces would come together in 1967 to form the Kolda People’s Front, named for the ancient city of Kolda. Soon however, Gano would be arrested in a police raid on a KPF meeting place.

Edouard Senghor is the current president of the Republic of Kolda, coming to power in 2009 after a counter-coup overthrow the military government of Colonel Adama Daouf. Senghor was previously Vice-President from 2006 to 2009, serving under [[Seynabou Gano]]. Senghor has been politically described as a reformist, developing a brand of socialism with more power being given to state-delegated industry and less oversight of production. Critics have described Senghor as a dictator due to the arrest of the opposition and his government's treatment of the Moujerrian minority.
==Life and Political Career==
Edouard Moussel Senghor, was born Moussel Fae Senghor, May 18th, 1965 in what is now the Mbour Commune, Rivieres. Senghor’s father served in the Great War with the Brissican Overseas Brigade, in segregated Koldan-only units. There he met Senghor's mother who was a nurse, the two returned in 1964 and were soon married. In addition, Senghor had 3 siblings who were born upon the family's move in Guediawaye in 1973, fleeing violence between partsians and the colonial government. Senghor became involved with politics in his years at Guediawaye Catholic University with the Communist Party of Kolda, he was described as an economic radical by his peers, less concerned with women’s rights and self-determination and more with creating a state economy. In 1984, Senghor campaigned for Gano, a decision which put him at odds with other Communist Party members, who believed Gano’s strong nationalism put him at odds with the party's desires of a global socialist state. Upon Gano's election due to his work for the campaign he was appointed Chairman of Este-Guediawaye Commune as part of the “grande réorganisation”. As Chairman, Senghor dealt with local issues such as education, police and business.

In 1994, Senghor was elected as Governor of the entire Gueidawaye region due to his strong support among the business community and established relations with ethnic minorities. This increase in political status, led to Senghor being a key player in the KLF-U’s policy. Senghor was viewed as a reformer by some, due to younger age and less enforcement of state secularism. As governor, several economic projects such as the Guediawaye International Airport were completed, which raised the province’s economic profile outside of Kolda. Despite the outward appearance of reform, Senghor was very much a party insider and a favorite of Gano. This relationship extended in their personal lives with the marriage of Gano’s daughter to Senghor in 2002. Senghor was also given a new position in 2000 as Minister of State Affairs, a wide ranging position which controlled foreign affairs but also trade and the military. In 2003, in commemoration of Kolda’s involvement in the Great War, Senghor traveled to remaining socialist states such as Novella Islands, Lauchenoiria, Miltinca and others.
===Vice-President===
Following Jermaine Kaba’s exile from the KLF-U due to his call for Koldan re-unification with Brissiac under a multi-racial government, Senghor was chosen as the Vice-Presidential candidate for 2004. Kaba attempted a opposition challenge under the banner of the Koldan Unity Party, but was soon arrested by police for the illegal operations of an unapproved private charity. In the end the Gano-Senghor ticket got 78% of the vote, and 96% of the Koldan vote. Upon his election, Senghor largely reversed his reformist ideas with an increased militarization along the border with Brissiac and increasing public appearances in place of Gano. It’s believed by some, Senghor was plotting against Gano with the cooperation of the military and foreign powers during this time, although it’s unconfirmed. Regardless, Senghor was visiting troops along the Brissican border when Colonel Adama Diouf took control of the government in Guediawaye. Around 45% of the military turned on the government and quickly began assembling for an invasion of Brissiac. Seeing this, Senghor made a temporary alliance with the Brissiacan government and led a contingent of loyalist Koldans waging guerilla warfare, surprisingly Gano also fled to Brissiac where eventually died by an unknown assassin's blade.
===Taking Power===
Diouf’s forces advanced several miles into Brissiacan territory before being held by a combined Brissiacan-Koldan force. Meanwhile, foreign armed Koldan Information Bureau (KIB) forces staged a counter-coup in Guediawaye, allying with Islamist militias they captured and killed Adama Diouf and allowed Senghor to return to the city. In a public address on October 8th, 2009, he revealed Gano had died a week before and declared himself the new President of Kolda. In a moment of political solidarity, Senghor removed troops from the Brissican border and released political prisoners by executive order. Through 2009 and early 2010, a political program known as “grande réforme” took hold where private business was freed up and relations were re-established with capitalist states. The 2009 Election was also delayed due to the coup and was held across a period of a week in April of 2010 to allow for maximum, with Senghor himself calling it “the most important election since 1984”. Senghor faced challengers from several opposition parties such as the Democratic Action Party and the Voice of Action, an Islamist organization.
===2010 Election===
Despite his political connections to the Gano administration, Senghor’s foreign education and relatively young age led to much of the international community supporting Senghor or at least declaring him the most dependable candidate. The DAP, which had been formed in 2004 was largely a social-conservative party of urban elites and thus was portrayed by Senghor as legacy colonial elitists. In addition, Voice of Action was largely a converted paramilitary with very few actual politicians but rather leaders in the Islamist movement who had been jailed. Seeing this, Senghor campaigned as the left-wing candidate, with appeals to progressive youth and the KLF constant of organized labor. In the end, Senghor won in a generally fair election with 44.8% of the vote, with Voice of Action at 20.3%, DAP at 17.5%, and the Brissiac Union Party at 15.2%. However, in the parliamentary election, the KLF maintained its control due to the DAP and VOA splitting opposition votes. Senghor was inaugurated on June 1st, 2010 in a public ceremony at the National Stadium in Guediawaye.
==Presidency==
Senghor’s initial priority was the de-regulation of the economy; many Gano-era policies surrounding business regulation were struck down. One of the first major industries to experience deregulation was the Energy sector with the restructuring of Koldan Unified Power into 4 major power distributors. In addition, foreign business was also allowed to operate in new areas with strict planning policy being eliminated entirely. Overall the first several months of the administration was a period of national optimism, one promoted by a series of public artwork known as “Koldan Dawn”. 2010 also saw the announcement of a new 5-year plan which promised rapid economic growth, new jobs, and an overall improvement in conditions. Despite a generally positive view of Senghor among the Koldan population, minority groups such as the Moujerrians continued to face oppression, as the government continued its policy of state secularism. 2011 saw the start of Operation Green Torch, which intended to fight rebels along the corridor between Lennes and the Lehvantian border. The government had initial victories defeating various unpopular militia groups. However, it's what was put in place after which angered many, a new local government that removed power from clerics and outlawed traditional practices. In addition, Voice of Action was classified as a terrorist group in 2012 with the leaders being arrested and imprisoned in a new maximum security prison known as “De Compr’e” a Koldan Creole word meaning the “compound”.

Senghor’s initial reforms soon began to become a fleeting memory as the restrictions on personal freedoms largely did not disappear, for example, the KIB was expanded to fight both rebel groups and provide counter-intel on “enemies of the state, abroad”. On the social front, government protections of same-sex marriage which had been active since 1998 were ended, allowing private businesses the freedom to refuse service based on sexual preference. Initially, the Senghor also attempted to ban Islamic religious garments in public buildings but backed down due to public pressure. Domestic private businesses also failed to provide services in place of government options leading to several being incorporated under a new “public/private model” where the business was allowed to receive some profits in exchange for operating theoretically independent of government influence. Despite these criticisms, during the 2014 election, the public was generally supportive due to the rise of militant groups and the improvement of the economy compared to 2010. In the election, which saw lower turnout due to issues with voter registration and a lack of true opposition, Senghor was re-elected with 63.7% of the vote, with the KLF-U winning at all levels.

==Ideology==
Senghor himself is ideologically cloudy to outsiders due to his changing opinions and views across his political career. While initially being a Marxist with support for an internationalist view, upon his entrance into the KLF-U in the 1980s he followed the general party view of Socialism with Koldan characteristics. However, by 2010, Senghor described himself as a “Koldan progressive” and later created the term “Nouvo Pwogrè” to describe his goals. However post-2015, Senghor began to describe himself as a “Koldan Nationalist” and a “Christian Democrat” as Senghor began to turn away from state secularism. Finally, after the publishing of his 2022 book, Koldan Glory, Senghor declared himself a “Kwetaist” , a fictional political ideology that believes in space exploration and state planning on an inter-planetary scale.

==Personal Life==
Senghor has described himself as a born-again Christian, with a “belief in the word of God”. Senghor is a member of the Diawara Church of Christ, an off-shot of the Rivialist movement. It’s at the Diawara Church where Senghor met his second wife, Dieudonnée Tremble in 2014, a Brissican woman. They currently have 2 children, Senghor also has 3 children with his ex-wife Egalité Gano who he divorced in 2010. Senghor currently owns private property in several countries with his children and wife living in his second home in New Liverpool.
Prior to his election as vice-President, Senghor acquired a master’s degree in computer sciences from the University of Kolda in addition to his bachelor’s in Geology from Guediawaye Catholic. Senghor’s passion for science had translated into increasing investment in technical education with regional academy’s being opened in 2015. Senghor is known to be a big fan of cars, owning several unique models of both foreign cars and the domestic producer Keppra Motors which he made a government sponsored entity in 2012 and was rewarded with a custom 2013 Keppra C-40 sportscar.
===Written Works===
Since his election, Senghor has followed his predecessor with the publishing of several books/audiobooks on various subjects, his 2022 historical fiction novel “Koldan Glory” became a bestseller and describes a reality were the Koldan Empire was never defeated and became a beacon of socialist political progress, with space colonization occurring in 1985.

In addition, Voice of Action was largely a converted paramilitary with very few actual politicians but rather leaders in the Islamist movement who had been jailed. Seeing this, Senghor campaigned as the left-wing candidate, with appeals to progressive youth and the KLF constant of organized labor. In the end, Senghor won in a generally fair election with 44.8% of the vote, with Voice of Action at 20.3%, DAP at 17.5%, and the Brissiac Union Party at 15.2%. However, in the parliamentary election, the KLF maintained its control due to the DAP and VOA splitting opposition votes. Senghor was inaugurated on June 1st, 2010 in a public ceremony at the National Stadium in Guediawaye.
==Presidency==
Senghor’s initial priority was the de-regulation of the economy; many Gano-era policies surrounding business regulation were struck down. One of the first major industries to experience deregulation was the Energy sector with the restructuring of Koldan Unified Power into 4 major power distributors. In addition, foreign business was also allowed to operate in new areas with strict planning policy being eliminated entirely. Overall the first several months of the administration was a period of national optimism, one promoted by a series of public artwork known as “Koldan Dawn”. 2010 also saw the announcement of a new 5-year plan which promised rapid economic growth, new jobs, and an overall improvement in conditions. Despite a generally positive view of Senghor among the Koldan population, minority groups such as the Moujerrians continued to face oppression, as the government continued its policy of state secularism. 2011 saw the start of Operation Green Torch, which intended to fight rebels along the corridor between Lennes and the Lehvantian border. The government had initial victories defeating various unpopular militia groups. However, it's what was put in place after which angered many, a new local government that removed power from clerics and outlawed traditional practices. In addition, Voice of Action was classified as a terrorist group in 2012 with the leaders being arrested and imprisoned in a new maximum security prison known as “De Compr’e” a Koldan Creole word meaning the “compound”.

Senghor’s initial reforms soon began to become a fleeting memory as the restrictions on personal freedoms largely did not disappear, for example, the KIB was expanded to fight both rebel groups and provide counter-intel on “enemies of the state, abroad”. On the social front, government protections of same-sex marriage which had been active since 1998 were ended, allowing private businesses the freedom to refuse service based on sexual preference. Initially, the Senghor also attempted to ban Islamic religious garments in public buildings but backed down due to public pressure. Domestic private businesses also failed to provide services in place of government options leading to several being incorporated under a new “public/private model” where the business was allowed to receive some profits in exchange for operating theoretically independent of government influence. Despite these criticisms, during the 2014 election, the public was generally supportive due to the rise of militant groups and the improvement of the economy compared to 2010. In the election, which saw lower turnout due to issues with voter registration and a lack of true opposition, Senghor was re-elected with 63.7% of the vote, with the KLF-U winning at all levels.

==Ideology==
Senghor himself is ideologically cloudy to outsiders due to his changing opinions and views across his political career. While initially being a Marxist with support for an internationalist view, upon his entrance into the KLF-U in the 1980s he followed the general party view of Socialism with Koldan characteristics. However, by 2010, Senghor described himself as a “Koldan progressive” and later created the term “Nouvo Pwogrè” to describe his goals. However post-2015, Senghor began to describe himself as a “Koldan Nationalist” and a “Christian Democrat” as Senghor began to turn away from state secularism. Finally, after the publishing of his 2022 book, Koldan Glory, Senghor declared himself a “Kwetaist” , a fictional political ideology that believes in space exploration and state planning on an inter-planetary scale.

==Personal Life==
Senghor has described himself as a born-again Christian, with a “belief in the word of God”. Senghor is a member of the Diawara Church of Christ, an off-shot of the Rivialist movement. It’s at the Diawara Church where Senghor met his second wife, Dieudonnée Tremble in 2014, a Brissican woman. They currently have 2 children, Senghor also has 3 children with his ex-wife Egalité Gano who he divorced in 2010. Senghor currently owns private property in several countries with his children and wife living in his second home in New Liverpool.
Prior to his election as vice-President, Senghor acquired a master’s degree in computer sciences from the University of Kolda in addition to his bachelor’s in Geology from Guediawaye Catholic. Senghor’s passion for science had translated into increasing investment in technical education with regional academy’s being opened in 2015. Senghor is known to be a big fan of cars, owning several unique models of both foreign cars and the domestic producer Keppra Motors which he made a government sponsored entity in 2012 and was rewarded with a custom 2013 Keppra C-40 sportscar.
===Written Works===
Since his election, Senghor has followed his predecessor with the publishing of several books/audiobooks on various subjects, his 2022 historical fiction novel “Koldan Glory” became a bestseller and describes a reality were the Koldan Empire was never defeated and became a beacon of socialist political progress, with space colonization occurring in 1985.

Edouard Senghor is the current president of the Republic of Kolda, coming to power in 2009 after a counter-coup overthrow the military government of Colonel Adama Daouf. Senghor was previously Vice-President from 2006 to 2009, serving under Seynabou Gano. Senghor has been politically described as a reformist, developing a brand of socialism with more power being given to state-delegated industry and less oversight of production. Critics have described Senghor as a dictator due to the arrest of the opposition and his government's treatment of the Moujerrian minority.
==Life and Political Career==
Edouard Moussel Senghor, was born Moussel Fae Senghor, May 18th, 1965 in what is now the Mbour Commune, Rivieres. Senghor’s father served in the Great War with the Brissican Overseas Brigade, in segregated Koldan-only units. There he met Senghor's mother who was a nurse, the two returned in 1964 and were soon married. In addition, Senghor had 3 siblings who were born upon the family's move in Guediawaye in 1973, fleeing violence between partsians and the colonial government. Senghor became involved with politics in his years at Guediawaye Catholic University with the Communist Party of Kolda, he was described as an economic radical by his peers, less concerned with women’s rights and self-determination and more with creating a state economy. In 1984, Senghor campaigned for Gano, a decision which put him at odds with other Communist Party members, who believed Gano’s strong nationalism put him at odds with the party's desires of a global socialist state. Upon Gano's election due to his work for the campaign he was appointed Chairman of Este-Guediawaye Commune as part of the “grande réorganisation”. As Chairman, Senghor dealt with local issues such as education, police and business.

In 1994, Senghor was elected as Governor of the entire Gueidawaye region due to his strong support among the business community and established relations with ethnic minorities. This increase in political status, led to Senghor being a key player in the KLF-U’s policy. Senghor was viewed as a reformer by some, due to younger age and less enforcement of state secularism. As governor, several economic projects such as the Guediawaye International Airport were completed, which raised the province’s economic profile outside of Kolda. Despite the outward appearance of reform, Senghor was very much a party insider and a favorite of Gano. This relationship extended in their personal lives with the marriage of Gano’s daughter to Senghor in 2002. Senghor was also given a new position in 2000 as Minister of State Affairs, a wide ranging position which controlled foreign affairs but also trade and the military. In 2003, in commemoration of Kolda’s involvement in the Great War, Senghor traveled to remaining socialist states such as Novella Islands, Lauchenoiria, Miltinca and others.
===Vice-President===
Following Jermaine Kaba’s exile from the KLF-U due to his call for Koldan re-unification with Brissiac under a multi-racial government, Senghor was chosen as the Vice-Presidential candidate for 2004. Kaba attempted a opposition challenge under the banner of the Koldan Unity Party, but was soon arrested by police for the illegal operations of an unapproved private charity. In the end the Gano-Senghor ticket got 78% of the vote, and 96% of the Koldan vote. Upon his election, Senghor largely reversed his reformist ideas with an increased militarization along the border with Brissiac and increasing public appearances in place of Gano. It’s believed by some, Senghor was plotting against Gano with the cooperation of the military and foreign powers during this time, although it’s unconfirmed. Regardless, Senghor was visiting troops along the Brissican border when Colonel Adama Diouf took control of the government in Guediawaye. Around 45% of the military turned on the government and quickly began assembling for an invasion of Brissiac. Seeing this, Senghor made a temporary alliance with the Brissiacan government and led a contingent of loyalist Koldans waging guerilla warfare, surprisingly Gano also fled to Brissiac where eventually died by an unknown assassin's blade.
===President===
Diouf’s forces advanced several miles into Brissiacan territory before being held by a combined Brissiacan-Koldan force. Meanwhile, foreign armed Koldan Information Bureau (KIB) forces staged a counter-coup in Guediawaye, allying with Islamist militias they captured and killed Adama Diouf and allowed Senghor to return to the city. In a public address on October 8th, 2009, he revealed Gano had died a week before and declared himself the new President of Kolda. In a moment of political solidarity, Senghor removed troops from the Brissican border and released political prisoners by executive order. Through 2009 and early 2010, a political program known as “grande réforme” took hold where private business was freed up and relations were re-established with capitalist states. The 2009 Election was also delayed due to the coup and was held across a period of a week in April of 2010 to allow for maximum, with Senghor himself calling it “the most important election since 1984”. Senghor faced challengers from several opposition parties such as the Democratic Action Party and the Voice of Action, an Islamist organization.

===2010 Election===
Despite his political connections to the Gano administration, Senghor’s foreign education and relatively young age led to much of the international community supporting Senghor or at least declaring him the most dependable candidate. The DAP, which had been formed in 2004 was largely a social-conservative party of urban elites and thus was portrayed by Senghor as legacy colonial elitists. In addition, Voice of Action was largely a converted paramilitary with very few actual politicians but rather leaders in the Islamist movement who had been jailed. Seeing this, Senghor campaigned as the left-wing candidate, with appeals to progressive youth and the KLF constant of organized labor. In the end, Senghor won in a generally fair election with 44.8% of the vote, with Voice of Action at 20.3%, DAP at 17.5%, and the Brissiac Union Party at 15.2%. However, in the parliamentary election, the KLF maintained its control due to the DAP and VOA splitting opposition votes. Senghor was inaugurated on June 1st, 2010 in a public ceremony at the National Stadium in Guediawaye.

In 1984, Senghor campaigned for Gano, a decision which put him at odds with other Communist Party members, who believed Gano’s strong nationalism put him at odds with the party's desires of a global socialist state. Upon Gano's election due to his work for the campaign he was appointed Chairman of Este-Guediawaye Commune as part of the “grande réorganisation”. As Chairman, Senghor dealt with local issues such as education, police and business.

In 1994, Senghor was elected as Governor of the entire Gueidawaye region due to his strong support among the business community and established relations with ethnic minorities. This increase in political status, led to Senghor being a key player in the KLF-U’s policy. Senghor was viewed as a reformer by some, due to younger age and less enforcement of state secularism. As governor, several economic projects such as the Guediawaye International Airport were completed, which raised the province’s economic profile outside of Kolda. Despite the outward appearance of reform, Senghor was very much a party insider and a favorite of Gano. This relationship extended in their personal lives with the marriage of Gano’s daughter to Senghor in 2002. Senghor was also given a new position in 2000 as Minister of State Affairs, a wide ranging position which controlled foreign affairs but also trade and the military. In 2003, in commemoration of Kolda’s involvement in the Great War, Senghor traveled to remaining socialist states such as Novella Islands, Lauchenoiria, Miltinca and others.
===Vice-President===
Following Jermaine Kaba’s exile from the KLF-U due to his call for Koldan re-unification with Brissiac under a multi-racial government, Senghor was chosen as the Vice-Presidential candidate for 2004. Kaba attempted a opposition challenge under the banner of the Koldan Unity Party, but was soon arrested by police for the illegal operations of an unapproved private charity. In the end the Gano-Senghor ticket got 78% of the vote, and 96% of the Koldan vote. Upon his election, Senghor largely reversed his reformist ideas with an increased militarization along the border with Brissiac and increasing public appearances in place of Gano. It’s believed by some, Senghor was plotting against Gano with the cooperation of the military and foreign powers during this time, although it’s unconfirmed. Regardless, Senghor was visiting troops along the Brissican border when Colonel Adama Diouf took control of the government in Guediawaye. Around 45% of the military turned on the government and quickly began assembling for an invasion of Brissiac. Seeing this, Senghor made a temporary alliance with the Brissiacan government and led a contingent of loyalist Koldans waging guerilla warfare, surprisingly Gano also fled to Brissiac where eventually died by an unknown assassin's blade.
===President===
Diouf’s forces advanced several miles into Brissiacan territory before being held by a combined Brissiacan-Koldan force. Meanwhile, foreign armed Koldan Information Bureau (KIB) forces staged a counter-coup in Guediawaye, allying with Islamist militias they captured and killed Adama Diouf and allowed for Senghor to return to the city. In a public address on October 8th, 2009, he revealed Gano had died a week before, and declared himself the new President of Kolda. In a moment of political solidarity, Senghor removed troops from the Brissican border and released political prisoners by executive order. Through 2009 and early 2010, a political program known as “grande réforme” took hold where private business was freed up and relations were re-established with capitalist states.

==Personal Life==
Senghor has described himself as a born-again Christian, with a “belief in the word of God”. Senghor is a member of the Diawara Church of Christ, an off-shot of the Rivialist movement. It’s at the Diawara Church where Senghor met his second wife, Dieudonnée Tremble in 2014, a Brissican woman. They currently have 2 children, Senghor also has 3 children with his ex-wife Egalité Gano who he divorced in 2010. Senghor currently owns private property in several countries with his children and wife living in his second home in New Liverpool.
Prior to his election as vice-President, Senghor acquired a master’s degree in computer sciences from the University of Kolda in addition to his bachelor’s in Geology from Guediawaye Catholic. Senghor’s passion for science had translated into increasing investment in technical education with regional academy’s being opened in 2015. Senghor is known to be a big fan of cars, owning several unique models of both foreign cars and the domestic producer Keppra Motors which he made a government sponsored entity in 2012 and was rewarded with a custom 2013 Keppra C-40 sportscar.
===Written Works===
Since his election, Senghor has followed his predecessor with the publishing of several books/audiobooks on various subjects, his 2022 historical fiction novel “Koldan Glory” became a bestseller and describes a reality were the Koldan Empire was never defeated and became a beacon of socialist political progress, with space colonization occurring in 1985.

Kolda, officially known as the Republic of Kolda is a mid-sized state located in Neria, south of Lehvant with a population of 16,800,000. Kolda was founded in 1984. Although the country became independent, from 1964 to 1984, Kolda was under the control of the minority-rule government led by [[Andrien Duchamps]] and was known as Brissac. The country went through a civil war leading to the control of the socialist president, Seynabou Gano. After the Gano was couped by the military in 2009, his vice president [[Edouard Senghor]] took control and Senghor remains President today despite political opposition in the 2019 election.

==Etymology==
The name Kolda comes from the ancient empire of Kolda that existed from the years 800 to 1300 and built a number of structures including the Great Palace of Guédiawaye. Kolda itself means "collection of honorable warriors" From 1964 to 1984, Kolda was known as the Republic of Brissac, with the name Kolda being a symbol of liberation against the Arrivee government. In 1984, the name Kolda was adopted along with a number of traditional words being incorporated as place names.

==History==
Kolda has been settled by organized humans since at least 10,000 BCE, with the first documented evidence being the Wassau stone monuments created by an unknown civilization. It’s believed this civilization achieved its peak around 400 CE before desertification led to the mass immigration of those living there. Around 800, the Kolda Empire came to prominence. At this time the empire became recognized for trading with states located to the north. This also led to the spread of Islam across the country's northern region. The capital city of Kolda, Guineawaye became a center of trade science, and invention. Around 1200, the empire adopted Islam as its official religion and began a massive conquest of surrounding lands. This led to a golden age of innovation during the 1300s, however, in 1540, a season of droughts led to the collapse of agriculture causing civil unrest and the collapse of the empire. In 1580, the Costenan Empire established the colony of Encataria and established a deal with surrounding states to send those defeated in battle to the colony to be sold as slaves to other colonies such as Slokais Islands, then known as San Fernando. In 1786, Kolda was taken by France as the colony of Brissac. The French built the city of Port de Saint Paul in 1810, before being transferred to Laeral after their independence. The city was quickly built to be molded in the French style with ornate buildings and wide streets. Over the next several decades, Arrivee began to establish settlements further inland leading to conflict. By 1920, 70% of the land in Kolda was owned by non-Koldans, with many leaving the countryside to work in factories in Saint Paul. In 1938, a revolt began in Moudjerria calling back to the Koldan Empire, as a result, many of the artifacts were stolen or destroyed as a means of suppressing dissent. In 1925, the State of Brissac was created as an affiliate state of [[Laeral]], under a system of minority rule. Only Arrivee and Lehvantain had the right to vote and hold positions in government.

In 1938, Jayesh Al'ajdad began the Moudjerria Revolt, an organized revolt by native Moudjerrian Muslims. Their targets were the symbols of colonialism such as French schools, settlements, and churches. In total about 10,000 settlers were killed and around 75,000 moved to nearby regions. In response, the government deployed the military along with local militias to attack Moudjerrian villages and force them entirely beyond the Guireres River. Over the course of a decade over 100,000 Moudjerrains were moved into the resource-poor desert. Following this territory was reallocated to various settlers and large companies that employed Andharian laborers. These land reforms also were instituted across the country. In 1962, Brissiac joined [[Laeral]] in the Great War although units were segregated, with Koldan units often being seen as more expendable. However nationalist political thinkers forced Brissiac to withdraw in 1964 at the same time Brissiac was re-organized into the Brissiac Republic. As Koldan political power grew in the post-war period tension increased into the Brissiac-Koldan War (also known as the Great Alaafiya War). Economic inequality as well as a lack of civil and political rights for Koldan's grew support for the KLF, especially in rural areas. From 1974 to 1984, a period of constant guerilla war occurred primarily in Kolda proper, although several KLF raids destroyed infrastructure in Brissiac. Eventually, the KLF managed to gain control of territory across rural Kolda forcing the government of [[Andrien Duchamps]] to begin negotiations in 1984 with Saint-Nazaine Conference. The result of this conference between Koldan moderates and Brissiac was the intended creation of a multi-racial republic with Brissiac's political power being protected. In the resulting, 1984 Election, the KLF-U and Seynabou Gano won a narrow victory. Following this victory, the KLF quickly seized the power of industry and the military changing much of what was agreed upon in the Saint-Nazaine Conference.

For the following two decades, Kolda was under the complete control of the KLF-U and Seynabou Gano. Gano implemented widespread land reforms by evicting over 50,000 Arrivees from rural Kolda and forcing an internal migration to Brissiac. Through the 1990s, newly minted farmers took over these tracts collectively. Economically this collectivism failed, and exports of key crops such as rice and yams decreased. Additionally, infrastructure projects such as the K-10 Highway commenced using primarily high-skilled labor for urban areas. Gano also preached socialist ideas such as anti-imperialism worker's collectivism and state ownership. However, the regime was criticized for corruption and a policy known as Les Gens Séparation. This policy was for reforms and state planning to ignore Brissiac entirely in exchange for Brissiac being isolated from the rest of Kolda. As economic prosperity in Brissiac grew in the 2000s, thousands of Koldans attempted to illegally enter Brissiac, leading to the border being fortified by both sides. The regime collapsed in 2009 with Gano's being forced out of power by Colonel Adama Daouf due to internal party politics. Gano then fled to Brissiac leading to Kolda engaging in a brief civil war as the Koldan Republican Army briefly overwhelmed Brissiac forces. Soon, however, Edouard Senghor working with Brissiac recaptured Guineawaye in late 2009, not before Gano was assassinated in his estate in Saint-Paul.

Senghor quickly implemented reforms drawing widespread support allowing for him to be democratically elected in 2010 and 2014. Although, Senghor maintained elements of the regime such as state control of planning and the policy of Les Gens Séparation. When nationwide protests occurred in 2017, the military suspended internet access before killing around 40 protesters in various incidents. In the following, 2019 Election the KLF-U maintained control despite allegations of intimidation and voter fraud. Starting in 2020, an insurgency began in Moudjerria due to state control of mines being sold to the Brissiac mining company Descoteaux and Pirot.

==Geography==
Kolda is made up of 5 regions starting with Rivières located along the Banguala River that forms the natural boundary between the arid north and forested south. To the south is the Region of Brissac, located in the foothills of the Orome Mountains. In the east is the mostly rural, forested region of Kendougou-Sabourisse. To the north is the mostly semi-arid Moudjerria Region home to much of the Arabic-speaking population of Kolda. Finally the most populous province of Guinewaye-Lennes home to the capital city of Guinewaye.

Climate-wise, Kolda can be divided into three regions, the arid Mandjin desert that makes up the Moudjerria region, eventually converting into dry grassland in central Kolda, known as the Koldan Plans. In the west of Kolda is the swampy Rivières home to a majority of the population as well as the capital of Gunieawaye. This era is home to much of the nation's agricultural areas with crops such as rice, corn, and sorghum. Eastern Kolda is a sparsely populated jungle home to much of Kolda's biodiversity. In the south is the Region of Brissiac, characterized by large farms and rolling hills.

===Relgion===
The most prominent religion in Kolda is Islam with 48.5% identifying as Muslim, followed by Christianity at 37.2%, the remaining population is either non-religious or identifies with another religion such as Judaism or Folk Religion. Historically, Islam was the largest religion, first arriving in the Koldan Empire around 900, and eventually becoming the official religion of the empire. The first university, the Koldan House of Knowledge for example was created in 1278 to educate Islamic scholars. After the French arrival during the 1700s many people, especially those who practiced various folk regions adopted Christianity.
===Language===
French is the primary language of Kolda replacing a wide arrange of regional languages. Initially pushed by the Brissiac Republic during the 1920s. French language proficiency rates remained in the low 20s until the 1980s when rural education was expanded heavily by the Gano Administration. Today, around 84% of people speak some French although only 47% are native speakers. Additionally, Kango and Arabic are used in some signage although not in official government documents or procedures. Kango is primarily spoken in Riveres mostly in rural areas while Arabic is spoken in Moudjerria although many speak a blended form of Arabic and Kango called Fonyiara. Spanish although not recognized is spoken in Riveres by people of mixed Costenonian and Koldan ancestry.
==Politics==
Kolda uses a presidential system, with the president being the head of state and government. Kolda had traditionally been dominated by the KLF-U or [[Koldan Liberation Front-Union]] who have held control of both the National Assembly and the Presidency since 1984. The KLF-U is a traditionally socialist political party although since 2009 has been described as conservative. Elections for president are held every 5 years while parliamentary elections are held at most every 5 years although it can be declared sooner by a majority vote and presidential approval.

As part of the Saint-Nazaire Conference, each region of Kolda has its own Assembly and Senate. Brissiac however has a higher autonomy than other regions with an elected president and assembly. Additionally, Brissac operates its own separate services independent financially from Kolda. Additionally, Arrivee's living outside of Brissiac and organized into communautés, and services are provided internally.
==Economy==
Kolda's primary industries are Agricultural and Manufacturing. In recent years due to the low cost of labor, Kolda specifically Brissiac has become a hub for the manufacturing of home goods and technology, this concentrated economic development has created a growing development gap between Brissiac and the rest of Kolda with many skilled workers migrating seasonally or yearly to Brissiac for work, living in primarily in prominently Koldan housing developments. Brissiac additionally has several wine vineyards leading to tourism becoming a major industry. Throughout the rest of Kolda, jobs are primarily in the agricultural and mining sectors with rare minerals such as lithium being prominent in the sparse Moujerria region.

Kolda was traditionally a low-income country, with the country being economically impoverished until the 2000s. Although much of the economic progress has been limited to the Brissiac region creating economic inequality further caused by widespread corruption of both the public and private sectors. Large companies such as KM Mining and Descoteaux and Pirot have replaced state-owned companies in terms of political and economic power.

The Ambonar Church of God is a religious denomination of Christianity{{efn|Although, many Christan scholars have argued the Chruch of God should be classified as a separate faith|}} The Church of God primarily is located within the Ambonar Province of [[Slokais Islands]], the faith has members throughout Hesperida. Founded in 1687 by Sri Darma Ferdinand I of Ambonar, the faith became the state religion of the Kingdom until 1825. Since then the Ambonar Church of God has had a significant political, social, and economic impact on the Ambonar people, and several hardline groups of the faith are considered "cults" by general society.
==Name Dispute==
The Ambonar Church of God is called the Church of God by most of its members although is officially listed as the Ambonar Church of God in religious statistics. Members of the Church of God refer to themselves as Revivalists, a term that is used sometimes to describe the entire movement.
==History==
In 1684, King Sri Darma of Ambonar was visited by Francisco de Valer on a diplomatic mission from the San Fernando colony. One of his gifts was a copy of the Bible which Sri Drama took to heart and was led upon a three-year "faith quest". According to Sri Drama, he was given 14 lessons over the course of his three years as King by God. With each lesson intended to help Sri Drama re-found "The Kingdom of God". In the final lesson, Sri Darma is believed to have contacted an unknown figure called "Ra-Guna" or the "Final One" who with the Chruch of God's belief will end the world if "it becomes too corrupted". To prevent Ra-Guna's arrival, Sri Darma founded the Church of God in 1687 with several hundred followers. As King of Ambonar, Sri Darma declares the Kingdom as Christian and removes all traditionalists and Minjian believers from positions in the Kingdom. Sri Darma also takes upon the name "Ferdinand del Este" and establishes strong trade relations with the San Fernando Colony.
===Kingdoms Era===
The Church of God would grow rapidly across the Ambonar Kingdom, as other faiths soon became socially and politically unacceptable. The Church of God's promise of greater status for converts led to the mass conversion of Minjian and Traditionalists by a popular militia known as the Army of Salvation. Acting independently of Sri Dontak, who was a reformer compared to his father, the Army of Salvation forced thousands of Minjian to take refuge in the Pindai puppet state of Wojiang, leading to a series of border skirmishes. Not seeking a full-out war with the might of the [[Pindai State]], Sri Dontak called on the Army to arrest the Army of Salvation's leadership. This decision led to the foundation of the Order of the Faith, a council of Sri Darma's personal scholars who worked to remove Sri Dontak. In 1725, Sri Dontak was couped by his cousin, Sri Darma Ferdinand II, a more radical king who gave several state powers to Order of the Faith members. The Order of the Faith formalized the Church of God's beliefs in 1733 and divided the Ambonar Kingdom into 22 districts known as Estates, with each corresponding to a local cathedral. The prominent theological idea was the Church of God should focus on enlightening the Ambonar Kingdom and largely ignored the Catholic conversions in neighboring states. In this era, the Church of God funded infrastructure and development projects in the name of building a perfect Kingdom.

In the 1800s, settlers from the San Fernando Valley ventured into Ambonar in search of land for farming, a decision that was met by violence from locals. In response to these attacks, the San Fernando Colony demanded payment for property damages from the Ambonar Kingdom. In return, the Church of God declared Catholicism a "betrayal of Christendom" and expelled the few remaining Catholic traders in Xulin, the capital of Ambonar. This expulsion led to the San Fernando Militia capturing the Port of Xulin and declaring a "free-trade zone", critics called for a full-scale holy war, however, Sri James Paul Gamara simply granted their request. This decision led to the First Great Schism, an internal power struggle within the Church of God which destabilized Ambonar as a result. In 1817, when San Fernando was given to Sanctaria, the Church of God surprisingly approved of the decision. In 1819, Sri James Paul declared Sanctaria "an ally of the faithful" and began diplomacy with the nearby state.

==Culture and Practices==
Due to the faith being historically centered in only Ambonar, the province's culture is based upon Church of God beliefs. Common practices shared with Christianity as a whole include church attendance, daily prayer, participation in Church programs, and referring from work on Sundays. However, the most significant deviation is moral ideas, with the Book of Divine Communications considered at value with the Bible when answering moral questions. In addition, the conversion while not originally valued as a practice until the 1970s is considered a duty by some Revivalists, these conversions have often been successful in areas without a large Christan presence such as Kaijan, where several Revivalist communities have appeared.
===Book of Divine Communcations===
Revivalists consider the Book of Divine Communications to be of the same or even greater value than the Bible. Although much shorter than the Bible, being divided into three "Communications", the 14 lessons within are quoted and referenced by Revivalists. The First Communication outlines the authority of God and the authority of those in the Church of God. In addition, the Communication states most famously "Power not given by those of Heaven or the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth should be questioned"{{efn|Communications 1:14:5|}}. Politically, the quote is often used by traditional Revivalists to discredit the authority of non-Christian govermeant officials and argue against the separation of Church and State. The Second Communication outlines practices and morals such as a belief in only "one divine creator" and that life must only be taken if one has been "lost to hell fire". This communication influenced law and justice in the Ambonar Kingdom, with some principles remaining in law within Ambonar Province. The Third Communication is the most significant with God calling upon Sri Darma to take upon the name Ferdinand del Este and found "a Church of God, in the Kingdom of God, in the name of God".
[[File:Ra-Gunna.webp|thumb|A Ra-Gunna costume used in a theatrical retelling of the Book of Divine Communication. ]]
The most controversial section of the Book of Divine Communications is Section 19 which was written a year after the rest of the Book and describes a being known as Ra-Guna. Ra-Guna is described as a demon who will be born in the future and inhabit the body of a human and if enough believe in him, will end the world and only Chruch of God members past and present souls will be saved from Hell. Ra-Gunna remains a controversial figure, as many claim Ra-Gunna was a character created by Sri Darma's son, Sri Dontak, and published as such. However, many within the Church of God view the prevention of Ra-Gunna as a greater life goal than living by Revivalist morals.
==Social Views==
The Ambonar Church of God has had evolving social views throughout their existence as religious leaders within the faith have modified the ideas Sri Darma to update to modern social questions, however the religion generally holds the founding principles outlined in the Book of Divine Communications.
===Women's Rights===
The Ambonar Church of God only allowed women to hold positions as nuns and has only allowed women to hold other positions since 1987 and still today are outlawed from holding senior positions such as High Priests and women over 14 are officially banned from entry to the Highest Church of God, due to the belief they will “tempt the minds of our greatest scholars”<ref>From a 1906 decree by Scholar of the Faith, Joseph Primana.</ref>Revivalists generally believe women’s role in society is producing the next generation of revivalists and to find a suitable wife, other pursuits such as non-religious education is considered secondary with Amonar Connexional University, the premier Revivalist institute only accepting women into non-theological degrees after 2004. The Church of God outlaws abortions of “elective choice” and pushed against the legal protection of abortion in the 1980s, although states abortion in cases of the life of the mother, rape or incest is premissable. Women are also expected to be modest in public spaces, especially those who are married with many wearing religious coverings over there head similar to Islam.
===Family Structure===
Revivalists believe the primary role of the family is to act as the building block of society’s path to creating a “kingdom of heaven” on Earth. Thus activities which would break this family structure such as divorce and same-sex relations are considered taboo. When divorce become protected by law in 1983 and same-sex marriage in 2002, the Ambonar Chuch of God actively protested and passed a motion in the Ambonar Provincal Assembely in 2007 to allow ministers and business owners to refuse services. This law held until 2015, when the Ministry of Justice made it a criminal offense to deny services solely based on marriage type or status.
===Polygymy===
Contrary to the idea of family structure, several Revivalist communities practiced a form of Polygymy, where men would have multiple wives in order to grow the number of Revivalist. This practice was outlawed by a 1924 law, as an effort to combat armed Revivalist rebels in the Eastern Hills War. Despite legal polygymy being illegal and the Church of God not endorsing the practice, several prominent Revivalists have sexual open relations with multiple people such as billionaire Robert Qiagara.
===Modesty===
The Church of God has stated immodest dress such as short skirts or clothing which does not cover the full chest is immoral and will lead to the “servants of hell” gaining power on Earth. Modern revivalists have even argued modern social standards have already led to the arrival of Ra-Guuna, and that he inhabits the body of a human being. The Church of God also encourages its members to not wear all-black clothing or undergo body modifications such as tattoos or body piercings.
===Interracial Marriage===
Prior to the 1900s, marriages were only permitted between members of the Ambonar ethnicity in order to maintain “god’s people”, however the realties of demographics and other factors led to permitting of Revivalists to marry other “Chrtistian people’s” however there remains a racist view of marriages of Ambonar to those not of the ethnicity. This has led to Ambonar ethnicity which accounts for a large majority of membership of the Church of God being ethnically homogeneous with few people of mixed ancestry. In addition these principles apply less to converts to faith which have grown from almost none to about 10% of the faith since 1990.
==Education==
Education has been a key tenet of the Revivialist faith due to the belief that education leads to a “greater society” {{efn|Speech by Sri Darma at the founding of Amonar Connexional University, then known as “The Ambonar Sanjogee Adhyayan Institute”|]]. In addition to the founding of Amonar Connexional University or ACU in 1714, the oldest non-catholic college in Slokais Islands, the Ambonar Church of God has funded the creation of schools, initially these schools were public, however after 1925 founding of the secular Ambonar Ministry of Education, these schools became private. These schools often remain the premiere institutions with better services and support than regular public schooling, thus even non-Reviavists intend these schools to improve their education. In addition, the Ambonar Church of God was an instrumental force in the founding of Provincial Polytechnic University of Xulin or Xulin Provincial Poly in 1988. Teaching is also considered a noble profession among Revivalists with many becoming both secular and non-secular educators.

The Ambonar Church of God is a religious denomination of Christianity{{efn|Although, many Christan scholars have argued the Chruch of God should be classified as a separate faith|}} The Church of God primarily is located within the Ambonar Province of [[Slokais Islands]], the faith has members throughout Hesperida. Founded in 1687 by Sri Darma Ferdinand I of Ambonar, the faith became the state religion of the Kingdom until 1825. Since then the Ambonar Church of God has had a significant political, social, and economic impact on the Ambonar people, and several hardline groups of the faith are considered "cults" by general society.
==Name Dispute==
The Ambonar Church of God is called the Church of God by most of its members although is officially listed as the Ambonar Church of God in religious statistics. Members of the Church of God refer to themselves as Revivalists, a term that is used sometimes to describe the entire movement.
==History==
In 1684, King Sri Darma of Ambonar was visited by Francisco de Valer on a diplomatic mission from the San Fernando colony. One of his gifts was a copy of the Bible which Sri Drama took to heart and was led upon a three-year "faith quest". According to Sri Drama, he was given 14 lessons over the course of his three years as King by God. With each lesson intended to help Sri Drama re-found "The Kingdom of God". In the final lesson, Sri Darma is believed to have contacted an unknown figure called "Ra-Guna" or the "Final One" who with the Chruch of God's belief will end the world if "it becomes too corrupted". To prevent Ra-Guna's arrival, Sri Darma founded the Church of God in 1687 with several hundred followers. As King of Ambonar, Sri Darma declares the Kingdom as Christian and removes all traditionalists and Minjian believers from positions in the Kingdom. Sri Darma also takes upon the name "Ferdinand del Este" and establishes strong trade relations with the San Fernando Colony.
===Kingdoms Era===
The Church of God would grow rapidly across the Ambonar Kingdom, as other faiths soon became socially and politically unacceptable. The Church of God's promise of greater status for converts led to the mass conversion of Minjian and Traditionalists by a popular militia known as the Army of Salvation. Acting independently of Sri Dontak, who was a reformer compared to his father, the Army of Salvation forced thousands of Minjian to take refuge in the Pindai puppet state of Wojiang, leading to a series of border skirmishes. Not seeking a full-out war with the might of the [[Pindai State]], Sri Dontak called on the Army to arrest the Army of Salvation's leadership. This decision led to the foundation of the Order of the Faith, a council of Sri Darma's personal scholars who worked to remove Sri Dontak. In 1725, Sri Dontak was couped by his cousin, Sri Darma Ferdinand II, a more radical king who gave several state powers to Order of the Faith members. The Order of the Faith formalized the Church of God's beliefs in 1733 and divided the Ambonar Kingdom into 22 districts known as Estates, with each corresponding to a local cathedral. The prominent theological idea was the Church of God should focus on enlightening the Ambonar Kingdom and largely ignored the Catholic conversions in neighboring states. In this era, the Church of God funded infrastructure and development projects in the name of building a perfect Kingdom.

In the 1800s, settlers from the San Fernando Valley ventured into Ambonar in search of land for farming, a decision that was met by violence from locals. In response to these attacks, the San Fernando Colony demanded payment for property damages from the Ambonar Kingdom. In return, the Church of God declared Catholicism a "betrayal of Christendom" and expelled the few remaining Catholic traders in Xulin, the capital of Ambonar. This expulsion led to the San Fernando Militia capturing the Port of Xulin and declaring a "free-trade zone", critics called for a full-scale holy war, however, Sri James Paul Gamara simply granted their request. This decision led to the First Great Schism, an internal power struggle within the Church of God which destabilized Ambonar as a result. In 1817, when San Fernando was given to Sanctaria, the Church of God surprisingly approved of the decision. In 1819, Sri James Paul declared Sanctaria "an ally of the faithful" and began diplomacy with the nearby state.

==Culture and Practices==
Due to the faith being historically centered in only Ambonar, the province's culture is based upon Church of God beliefs. Common practices shared with Christianity as a whole include church attendance, daily prayer, participation in Church programs, and referring from work on Sundays. However, the most significant deviation is moral ideas, with the Book of Divine Communications considered at value with the Bible when answering moral questions. In addition, the conversion while not originally valued as a practice until the 1970s is considered a duty by some Revivalists, these conversions have often been successful in areas without a large Christan presence such as Kaijan, where several Revivalist communities have appeared.
===Book of Divine Communcations===
Revivalists consider the Book of Divine Communications to be of the same or even greater value than the Bible. Although much shorter than the Bible, being divided into three "Communications", the 14 lessons within are quoted and referenced by Revivalists. The First Communication outlines the authority of God and the authority of those in the Church of God. In addition, the Communication states most famously "Power not given by those of Heaven or the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth should be questioned"{{efn|Communications 1:14:5|}}. Politically, the quote is often used by traditional Revivalists to discredit the authority of non-Christian govermeant officials and argue against the separation of Church and State. The Second Communication outlines practices and morals such as a belief in only "one divine creator" and that life must only be taken if one has been "lost to hell fire". This communication influenced law and justice in the Ambonar Kingdom, with some principles remaining in law within Ambonar Province. The Third Communication is the most significant with God calling upon Sri Darma to take upon the name Ferdinand del Este and found "a Church of God, in the Kingdom of God, in the name of God".
[[File:Ra-Gunna.webp|thumb|A Ra-Gunna costume used in a theatrical retelling of the Book of Divine Communication. ]]
The most controversial section of the Book of Divine Communications is Section 19 which was written a year after the rest of the Book and describes a being known as Ra-Guna. Ra-Guna is described as a demon who will be born in the future and inhabit the body of a human and if enough believe in him, will end the world and only Chruch of God members past and present souls will be saved from Hell. Ra-Gunna remains a controversial figure, as many claim Ra-Gunna was a character created by Sri Darma's son, Sri Dontak, and published as such. However, many within the Church of God view the prevention of Ra-Gunna as a greater life goal than living by Revivalist morals.
==Social Views==
The Ambonar Church of God has had evolving social views throughout their existence as religious leaders within the faith have modified the ideas Sri Darma to update to modern social questions, however the religion generally holds the founding principles outlined in the Book of Divine Communications.
===Women's Rights===
The Ambonar Church of God only allowed women to hold positions as nuns and has only allowed women to hold other positions since 1987 and still today are outlawed from holding senior positions such as High Priests and women over 14 are officially banned from entry to the Highest Church of God, due to the belief they will “tempt the minds of our greatest scholars” [[efn|From a 1906 decree by Scholar of the Faith, Joseph Primana|]]. Revivalists generally believe women’s role in society is producing the next generation of revivalists and to find a suitable wife, other pursuits such as non-religious education is considered secondary with Amonar Connexional University, the premier Revivalist institute only accepting women into non-theological degrees after 2004. The Church of God outlaws abortions of “elective choice” and pushed against the legal protection of abortion in the 1980s, although states abortion in cases of the life of the mother, rape or incest is premissable. Women are also expected to be modest in public spaces, especially those who are married with many wearing religious coverings over there head similar to Islam.

San Fernando is a city in [[Slokais Islands]], located on San Fernando Island, along the [[San Fernando River]]. With a population of 3,234,891, San Fernando is the second-largest city in Slokais and the capital and largest city of [[San Fernando Province]]. San Fernando is primarily located along the namesake river although its suburbs are spread throughout the San Fernando Delta. Founded in 1643 as a collection of villages, it expanded to a trading hub by the 1800s. For much of its existence, San Fernando has been the primary point of exporting and importing goods. This has led to many manufacturing and production jobs in the area.

==History==
Founded in 1643 in honor of San Fernando de Salinas, the financer of the settlement. San Fernando was originally inhabited by settlers from the Costeno region of Lauchenoria as part of the [[Costenan Empire]]. The farming quality of the delta soon became apparent and plantations began to be established by wealthy financiers. Additionally, slaves from [[Kolda]] began to be brought to the new Colony of San Fernando around 1705. In 1712, a port was built to connect plantations further inland with foreign markets. As the center of the Colony, San Fernando experienced rapid development as the richest settlers quickly built grand colonial buildings in the district of Nuevo Numancia.

In addition, large numbers of wealthy Minjian traders moved from surrounding states to establish businesses, leading to primarily Ren being the trading and banking class. San Fernando was also home to the largest slave market in the Slokais Islands, with an estimated 40,000 people being processed through the city between 1714 and 1811. In addition, indigenous groups were often forced into sharecropping in order to retain their land. San Fernando grew industrially in the 1830s with the construction of the San Fernando Canal allowing for ships to travel further inland while profiting off traffic. Manufacturing companies began to employ thousands, enticing workers to move to the city. After the independence of Slokais in 1892, San Fernando became the initial capital until 1901 when it was moved to New Liverpool.

During the 1920s, San Fernando became a hub of manufacturing with steel being the largest industry. As part of state planning, San Fernando saw rapid suburban growth around new industries. This population growth eventually led to the development of regional rail services as commuting began to the financial and business district in central San Fernando. In the 1940s, San Fernando saw violence between National Reformist forces and city police who protected Minjian districts from attack. During the Costa administration, San Fernando was somewhat resistant with city officials refusing to comply with federal mandates. Eventually, in 1954, the National Reformist Bridgade staged a coup against the city government in the October 8th Incident. This led to an active presence against the mostly Minjian-based resistance groups until 1963 when the city was liberated

Afterward, the [[Great War]] saw a general exodus to the suburbs as the economy transitioned to goods manufacturing, and companies opted to build large factories in large rural plots. The population of San Fernando decreased from 3.9 million in 1975 to 2.5 million as of 2000, with nearby towns such as San Sabla becoming cities in their own right. However, in recent decades, urban renewal and a growing immigrant population have seen population growth.
==Economy==
San Fernando is a manufacturing hub with companies such as Riox and HMG Industries based there as well as Slokais Islands' 3rd largest airport, [[San Fernando International Airport]]. The metro area is connected by [[San Fernando Tram and Metro Network]] as well as [[Slokasian Rail]].

== Demographics ==
San Fernando is a large urban center and thus has drawn migration and immigration for much of it's existence. The largest ethnicity is [[Rén]] with 36.7%, with large populations in the Bayside region of San Fernando as well in the historic Quayside. Meszcaldo is the second largest with 28.8%, and is found in sizeable populations across the city as a whole. Costeno's are most historic community and today can be found in large numbers in the Eastside, making up 10.1%. The Dilengan, which were brought over as slaves from [[Kolda]] in the 1700s and 1800s have established a large community in Salvador City region, making the region the center of Dilengan culture in [[Slokais Islands]].

San Fernando also has a history of sailing and aquatic sports due to its maritime past with the National Sailing Center being in Tepilau Beach and the National Aquatic Center in the Quayside District. Golf in Slokais also has its roots among the city's elite with several professional courses.

The farming quality of the delta soon became apparent and plantations began to be established by wealthy financiers. Additionally, slaves from [[Kolda]] began to be brought to the new Colony of San Fernando around 1705. In 1712, a port was built to connect plantations further inland with foreign markets. As the center of the Colony, San Fernando experienced rapid development as the richest settlers quickly built grand colonial buildings in the district of Nuevo Numancia.

In addition, large numbers of wealthy Minjian traders moved from surrounding states to establish businesses, leading to primarily Ren being the trading and banking class. San Fernando was also home to the largest slave market in the Slokais Islands, with an estimated 40,000 people being processed through the city between 1714 and 1811. In addition, indigenous groups were often forced into sharecropping in order to retain their land. San Fernando grew industrially in the 1830s with the construction of the San Fernando Canal allowing for ships to travel further inland while profiting off traffic. Manufacturing companies began to employ thousands, enticing workers to move to the city. After the independence of Slokais in 1892, San Fernando became the initial capital until 1901 when it was moved to New Liverpool.

During the 1920s, San Fernando became a hub of manufacturing with steel being the largest industry. As part of state planning, San Fernando saw rapid suburban growth around new industries. This population growth eventually led to the development of regional rail services as commuting began to the financial and business district in central San Fernando. In the 1940s, San Fernando saw violence between National Reformist forces and city police who protected Minjian districts from attack. During the Costa administration, San Fernando was somewhat resistant with city officials refusing to comply with federal mandates. Eventually, in 1954, the National Reformist Bridgade staged a coup against the city government in the October 8th Incident. This led to an active presence against the mostly Minjian-based resistance groups until 1963 when the city was liberated

Afterward, the [[Great War]] saw a general exodus to the suburbs as the economy transitioned to goods manufacturing, and companies opted to build large factories in large rural plots. The population of San Fernando decreased from 3.9 million in 1975 to 2.5 million as of 2000, with nearby towns such as San Sabla becoming cities in their own right. However, in recent decades, urban renewal and a growing immigrant population have seen population growth.
==Economy==
San Fernando is a manufacturing hub with companies such as Riox and HMG Industries based there as well as Slokais Islands' 3rd largest airport, [[San Fernando International Airport]]. The metro area is connected by [[San Fernando Tram and Metro Network]] as well as [[Slokasian Rail]].

The Federation of Slokais Islands is a federal semi-presidential republic located on the continent of [[Hesperida]]. Slokais is an archipelago of several major islands and numerous minor islands. A large amount of the population is bilingual or trilingual. It has a population of around 64,960,000 with the three main religions being Christianity, Islam, and Minjian. Slokais borders the [[Slokais Sea]] to the north, [[Aredoa]] and [[Mallancaland]] to the south, and [[Haesan]] to the northwest. The name Slokais comes from the Ambonar word for "place of islands". Slokais is renowned for its fishing and agricultural industries with a sizeable export of consumer goods and electronics.

==History==
===Early History===
The first humans may have visited the islands around 25,000-10,000 BCE. These people were the ancestors of today’s tribes. The name for this period of people is the Lumadang Period; most people were hunter-gatherers with few settlements. These people spoke a vast variety of languages and each developed a diverse range of practices. It's understood however these people migrated from mainland Eastern Hesperida. The next period was the Ocama Period between 10,000-1,000 BCE. The Ocama had a much more noticeable impact with the best example being the Ojiang Lake near Puerta Leon. The people of the Ocama Period buildings were made out of grass and mud bricks therefore thus they primarily lived near water. At Ojiang Lake, each building known as a Kineyara, each one housing around 10 people with their beds situated around a central fireplace. The Ojiang Lake people developed a written language that survives as the language spoken by Kna'raoh ethnic group.

The Ocama Period ended due to the arrival of the Makan who arrived by boat from the mainland. These people are the ancestors of modern tribes. They arrived from the land that is now Laeral and Haesan bringing cultural traditions and language with them. They began to split off onto different islands though those on San Fernando Island succeeded the most. They were known for their earthen temples, especially in Pinjiang Valley which was the center of their civilization. Around 500 BC was the explosion of rice farming mainly in the lowlands and valleys of the Central Islands. This was the end of Slokais’s early history as many texts began to be written around this time.

===Classical Period===
This period began around 300 BC with the founding of the Kamjana Kingdom in modern-day Colorado. Built upon a system of rice farming and owners, Kamjana conquered much of San Fernando Island and funded a series of art projects. By the 450s, Kamjanaian royalty had amassed considerable wealth and began construction of a new capital at Pembragan. Meanwhile, modern innovations such as silk and cloth production spread across the islands. At this time, the Nohan-Junara language group took over as the primary system of communication with a written alphabet. Janghara rose in the 600s on Acadia Island with a more religious form of traditionalism and idol worship. This conflicted with the arrival of the [[Minjian Faith]] in 789.
===Kingdoms Era===
The Kingdoms Era can be defined by three empires, the [[Pindai State]], the [[Ambonar Kingdom]] and Kaijan. The Pindai State came into existence during the collapse of the Jagahara and was driven by Minjian converts on Acadia Island. Pindai which was completed in 1078, soon became the most prominent city within the region as traders flocked to the city to sell goods. Pindai soon became a gateway between mainland Hesperida and what would become Slokais. This gave the Pindai State great power, one which it used to take over surrounding areas quickly. Instead of managing these new lands directly, the Pindai State created a vessel system in which local rulers kept control and were rewarded as long as exports to Pindai remained steady and the Minjian faith was spread. However, resistance was fierce, especially in Southern Slokais, meaning Pindai never reached beyond the Tedaya Kingdom in modern-day Victoria Province.

Around 1150, the Ambonar Kingdom came into existence in the historical region of Ambonarland. Practicing a form of spirit worship, Ambonar quickly became the largest military power in the eastern half of San Fernando Island. Instead of trade, the Ambonar Kingdom created wealth through the enslavement and servitude of surrounding states. Goods such as gold, silver, and steel became the key to wealth for the Ambonar elites. Eventually, Ambonar would come into conflict with Pindai in 1207, which was the start of the First Kingdom War. Starting as a dispute between a Pindai tribute state and an Ambonar general in modern-day Valleres Province, the First Kingdom War grew into a wide-reaching conflict. Ambonar initially took the upper hand advancing as far as the Pinjiang River, leaving a path of destruction behind them. However, a revolt within the Ambonar territory led to Pindai launching a successful naval and land campaign. In 1222, a treaty was signed that set the boundary as the Punjigari Mountains{{efn|Known today as the Sierra Blancos Mountains}}.
===Colonial Era===
===Republic Era===
In the first election after independence, Howard Prince-Gonzalez of the Left Party became the nation's first president. He is considered the best president in Slokasian History as he established many agencies such as the Ministry of Defense the Ministry Of Education and many others. In 1898 however, stepped down saying that he had made the nation better to the best of his ability. His replacement was Henry Banks also of the Left Party who had formerly been the Prime Minister. He retained his position until 1912 when he was voted out in favor of by [[Alexander Lin]] of the Center Party. Lin was the first Ren president of Slokais when elected.

While he was in office Lin set a series of sweeping reforms including giving women the right to vote, and social security, and setting in place local governance. However, after a conspiracy was discovered in 1922, Lin lost much of his popular and political support. In 1924, David Livingstone of the Conservative Party was elected. Livingstone encouraged industrial development and railroad construction by any means. Livingstone also reduced the power of the Prime Minister and took it upon himself to modernize the country. However, Livingstone was assassinated in 1938 by a left-wing radical. The position of President was left vacant for a few months, although Howard Remenez of the Left Party was elected in the 1938 Election. Remenez imbraced social-democratic policy and guided Slokais into a regional power. Juan Costa of the National Reform Party, defeated Remenez in 1950, largely on a populist, isolationist platform. Costa created National Reformism, an ideology calling for a syndicalist and autocratic government. Costa used autocratic methods to remain in power, with the Reformist Brigade enforcing his policy. In 1961, [[Juan Costa]] entered Slokais into the [[Great War]]. As a result, Slokais quickly developed its military and weapons industry. In 1963, Slokais invaded [[Haesan]] eventually overwhelming the government with the support of [[Darya]]. Internally, however, various rebel groups rose up leading to a brutal civil war. These groups created the Federation Army with military support coming from the Coalition of Democratic Forces. In 1966, a combined force invaded Slokais with the Federation Army taking [[New Liverpool]] in 1967.

===Post-War===
After the war, the first president of the new federation was Howard Xiang of the Conservative Party who was popular as he lowered taxes and boosted the economy for many years. Yet in 1984 he was voted out in favor of Joseph Ocsta who was a popular younger Left Party who created many welfares as well as Road and Transit plans as well as luring business to the Islands. However, his more left-leaning views split the party and allowed the Conservative Party to gain control in the elections of 1988 and elected Pablo Smith the first mixed president of Slokais. However, he was well-liked as he kept the more radical Conservatives under control until 1994 when the party instead picked Brooke Wellesley, the first female president who ended up winning. But the Process split the party slowly and the by-election of 2000 created utter chaos within the country leading to mass protests. Finally, however, the dust settled and Sean Khan won as the leader of the Centrist Party and was very back and forth on issues but was a strong environmentalist and helped give funding to preserve many historical areas. However, in 2007 armed Rebels took over parts of Kaijan Island and created the New Kajian Republic. Sean Khan’s response however was bad and he was voted out in 2008.

He was replaced with George Oliver of the Conservatives who served in the army and ended the war by 2011. However, in 2014 he was replaced by Joseph Zhang of the Centrist Party. However, Joseph Chavez took control from 2016 to 2018 as a Left Party Member he lost in 2018 and his new party the National Alliance Party controlled of the Legislature. In late 2020, the Kaijan Insurgency took some of the countries leading to a brief civil war in Kaijan. After his win in the 2020 Elections, Joseph Chavez dealt with several crises at home and abroad. However, he lost in 2022 due to the political resurgence of Brooke Weasley. Since taking office Weasley has re-started some expansionist policies as the country became involved in [[Second Roucourtain Civil War]].

==Geography==
Slokais Islands is made up of around 750 islands of which around 650 are inhabited. These islands are usually divided into four regions, San Fernando Island, which is the most populous and most important island. The Southern Isles include Kaijan, Dolphin Isle, and Puerto Vesas Island. The Central Islands, include Acadia, Xiang, and Princeton Islands. And finally, the Outer Isles which include Northern Isles and Eastern Isles Provinces as well as the Far'awe Island chain. Each of these regions shares general geographical and climate characteristics with most islands being formed from the pre-historic island of Pulaubesa which separated from the Hesperidan continent millions of years ago. Climate-wise, Slokais is generally a temperate country with tropical rainforests being found in Kaijan and Dolphin Isle.

Slokais is defined by mountain ranges, as most islands are formed from under-sea mountain ranges. These created several river valleys which were and are the centers of population and farming. The most prominent and largest valley is the San Fernando Valley, formed between the Sierra Blancos and Silverado Mountains. Ice-melt high in the mountains feeds several tributaries which form the San Fernando River.
===Departments Provinces and Townships===
Slokais Islands is comprised of 29 provinces and 1 special district{{efn|[[New Liverpool]] is classified as both a special district and a city}} Each with its provincial government managing local services in cooperation with the federal government, in addition, each province is managed by a parliament as well as a governor which is popularly elected. However, the power of the states has fluctuated throughout history. Each province is also divided into further administrative divisions known as townships, which are used further to divide services such as education, police, and fire, there are 178 townships with each having a designated township seat<ref>Typically the township is named for the township-seat, although some such as Bay Township, [[South Acadia]] are not</ref>

===Climate and Topography===
The climate of San Fernando Island is a humid subtropical climate. This is uniform across most of the country except Kaijan Island, which has a tropical monsoon climate. In contrast, the Northern islands have a more temperate climate. The Highest point in Slokais is [[Mt Silverado]] at a height of 12,789 feet or 3898 meters. While the lowest point is at Lake Lugana which is swamp-like at -7 feet below sea level. Because Slokais is a mountainous country there are many hot springs as well as volcanos mainly in the Blancos Mountains on Kaijan. There have also been many earthquakes as the islands are on the convergence of two tectonic plates. The worst earthquake was in 1977 an earthquake 6.8 on the Richter scale. The terrain of most islands is split into two parts: the mountains of the central island and grasslands and river valleys cutting through the mountains. The largest ranges are the San Fernando Mountains, Blancos Mountains, and the Western Mountains. The Southernmost point of Slokais is Mancibangio Island which is a small island with a lighthouse and small plaque 40 miles south of Kaijan. The Northernmost point of Slokais however is Vereal Point in Fa'away Islands

===Flora and Fauna===
The most common type of tree is the Slokaisan Cypress and the San Fernando Fir at higher elevations. Bird-wise the most notable bird is the Slokaisian thrush which is also the national bird and is very well protected. However one can not forget the national animal, the Red Mountain Bear which is known to be found in forests at high elevations. All of this flora and fauna are found in one of Slokais Islands' many National Parks. There are in total 31 of them scattered across the country. The system was founded in 1992 but expanded by President Sean Khan in the early 2000s. For example, some of the smaller islands are almost 100% protected land. It's starting to become an issue of people getting lost in these natural areas. So in 2016, the Forest and Mountain Service were formed to help stop this issue from happening.
==Culture==
Slokasian culture is not solely one cultural identity but rather many coming together to form a national one. In fact, Slokasian culture as an idea has only existed since the 1890s, as a form of national pride. While traditionally pluralist in terms of culture
===Social Issues===
People in Slokais Islands are somewhat more socially conservative than much of the democratic world, as religion still has an impact on social values. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2014 by the Zhang administration by a majority vote in the House. It is also illegal to discriminate based on gender, race, or sexuality since 2021. Non-medical uses of marijuana are illegal nationwide but some provinces have passed provisions, and medical use has been legal since 2015. Abortion was long opposed by the Catholic Church and it was not made legal nationwide until 2005. Firearms have long been part of local culture and because of this guns are permitted for all hunting purposes to be used for security, one must pass a safety test and must get a doctor's approval before buying handheld weapons, all other weapons can not be bought per the 2006 Firearms Use Act.
===Art===
Traditionally much of the art in Slokais was designed for religious or ceremonial purposes. For example, one of the earliest examples of art was a series of murals in East Xiang calling for a bountiful harvest made around 5,000 BCE. Clay is a common material in much of traditional pottery although areas in Victoria Province and Kaijan utilized a hardy mixture of stone and shell deposits. Upon the arrival of Minjian settlers around 750 CE, the styles of traditional Laerallian art began to influence the style of work. This development even influenced non-Minjian art in the types of materials used. Upon the arrival of Costeno in the 1500s, Slokaisian Art was becoming distant for its use of vibrant colors and natural materials. These styles influenced Costenonian art and many paintings of the area feature distinct vibrancy not found in other colonies. Art, classical and modern is mainly on display in the Museum of Classical Culture and History.
===Food===
The food of the Slokais Islands is inspired by Slokasian which has more seafood and spices to English food which is more focused on grains and soups. The most popular food in Slokais is Cook Up, which is a lot of meat and seafood mixed together with spices and then eaten with rice or noodles. They are usually large and are shared between groups of people. However, a popular snack is Tea Balls, which are tea leaves mixed with nutmeg and fruit like rambutan, mangos, or melon all inside small balls of dough. A popular drink is Venta, which is coffee mixed with a mixture of fruit and sweetened tea, it can be served hot or cold and is served all year round. A popular vegetable dish is Kanman which is carrot, onion, or any other local vegetables mixed into a soup mix the served with noodles. A more fancy dish is Vencinene steak, which is topped with sauce and served with bread. Speaking of bread, the local bread is called Malo bread and is very soft and chewy and is used as a side or to hold meats. Food in Slokais is meant to incorporate whatever is available or local so these dishes can change by region or island. For a Slokaisan, food is to be eaten with others even if you do not know them.
===Sport===
The nation has long been active in many sports but mainly Football(Soccer) and Basketball as well as many water sports such as polo and swimming. In almost every neighborhood you can find pickup football and basketball games. The country has a pro football league with the [[Slokasian Premier League]] as well as lower divisions as well as a pro basketball league with the Slokais Basketball League. A sport that is local to only Slokais is Drywall Ball, invented in the 70s at a middle school gym the game has grown a lot and there is now a pro league, the [[Grand Drywall Ball League]] or the DBL. The game is played between two large walls each about 20-30 feet high. There are two teams of about 15 players in 3 lines, the Attacking Line, the Grand Line, and Final Line. The goal is to get the ball to touch the other wall. However, you can not cross into the opposing side and you must serve it like in volleyball. You can pick it up from the ground by throwing it up from below.
===Religion===
Religion plays a somewhat important part in life in Slokais Islands for those who practice it. of the 41% of people that affiliate themselves with Christianity and about 65% of those are Roman Catholics due to the influences of Costeno though they are not as socially conservative as other Catholics due to the prevalence of the Virgin Mary. 25% is Protestant the most famous place of worship the Church of St Willaim of Port Lee had been active since 1803. The other 10% is various other sects. Atheism and general casual attitudes towards religion have contributed to a greater separation of religious matters from government, for example, Sean Khan is a known atheist. Islam had existed in Slokais since the 1400s, currently, they live mostly in Kaijan but there are sizeable populations found in cities, their blend of social conservativism but acceptance of left-leaning economic values had made Muslim Union a key part of the government. The Minjian Fath had existed in Slokais Islands since the 700s, originally from the Hesperidan Mainland mostly Ren practiced the Minjian Fath in various temples across the country. Zongogism is new to Slokais Islands is a very diverse ethnic base and is popular among the well-educated and religious Slokaisians. The largest "other" faith is Judialism at 3.1% of the population with most Jews being of Blancos origin.

For a long time, Ren was the largest racial group however that has decreased as both Mixed and Kaiajanese are the largest growing racial groups. In a few years, the amount of young people has grown as the number of new immigrants from other nations has grown mainly from Hesperida. These populations are included under the current racial groups for example those from [[Lauchenoiria]] are considered Costeno and those from [[Lao Sansong]] are considered Ren. However, the largest group considered under the category other is self-identified Ahandrans who make up about 2.1% of the population.
==Govermeant==
The Government structure has 3 main branches, the executive branch which includes the President and the [[Cabinet of Slokais]] and other officials as well as the [[Tribal Counil|Tribal Council of Slokais]]. The legislative branch includes the [[Slokasian Legislature]] with 643 members elected by party list every 2 years. And finally the [[Supreme Court of Slokais]] for the judicial branch. The current President is [[Brooke Weasley]] and the Prime Minister [[Jospeh Chavez]]. Currently, elections occur every 4 years, with the ability to declare an election as soon as 2 years with a vote within the [[Slokasian Legislature]].
===Constitution===
The Constitution of the Slokais Islands has been changed twice. The first one from 1894 included a section about the government of the Slokais Islands. However back then the powers of the President were increased above many other figures, also 11 amendments were added later ranging from women's voting rights to changes regarding civil rights. However, after the [[Great War]] in 1971, the new constitution changed the powers of mainly the president and set up checks and balances for the country, and made amendments easier to enact. Since 1971 there have been 12 Amendments ranging from getting rid of term limits, to religious and personal freedoms amendments.
===Major Parties===
The major parties are the Center-left [[National Alliance (Slokais)|National Alliance]] and the [[Conservative Party of Slokais]] as well as the Centrist, Green, and New Right parties. From 1891 through the 90s the major parties were [[The Left Party of Slokais]] and the Conservatives with breaks during the rule of John Costa when the largest party was the National Reform Party. However, in the 90s the parties began to and by 2000 it was a mess with the Green Party coming on top and the Centrist Party not far behind, The parties kept splitting apart and in 2018 the new National Alliance absorbed the Left Party. In 2020 the Conservatives took a major hit in support before rebounding in the 2022 Election. Some places have local parties like the Muslim Union and the KPP in Kaijan or Green and Blue in Eastern Isles.
==Miltary==
The military took root in the Revolutionary Army in 1891 though the military was shrunk and then grew again in the 60s under Juan Costa. After the Civil War, the remnants of the armies came together and for a few years the military was large, however, the military was decreased and funding moved to other places. However, the military today is still a sizeable force and has a very good navy and coast guard.
===Army===
The Army is made up of 2 armies the Domestic Army and the Overseas Army. The Domestic Army is less used and has only been used in the Kaijan Wars. The Overseas Army has seen more use and often moves around it was used in the [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War]]. They are each made of armored divisions that used Patton Tanks as well as M109 Howitzers as well as older models of the AH Super Cobra Helicopter. The Field Division is made mostly of assault vehicles and infantry, they also use weaponry from larger military such as LOM
as well as many Humvves are used. Both types use helicopters for aerial and transport support.
==Economy==
Today Slokais has a mixed economy with state involvement and foreign trade. In keeping with this idea, some large industrial companies are state-owned. The currency of Slokais is the Markon. The biggest source of income is still the fishing industry, mostly through the [[United Fishery Union]] though there is a transition towards tech and service jobs. Slokais is a hub for computing, telecommunications, and data management. These types of jobs are found in the San Fernando Valley, with San Jose, being at its center. Another industry is farming, with rice and many types of fruits and vegetables. The average income is $27,000 Sancatarian Marks or $200,000 Slokais Islands Marks.

'''The Slokasian Legislature''' is a legislative body of the Federation of the [[Slokais Islands]]. Their job is to pass and regulate bills and laws as well as to call for presidential elections or to override the president. The leading parties are the [[Centrists]],[[National Alliance (Slokais)|National Alliance]] and the [[Conservative Party of Slokais|Conservative Party]]. Seats are based on provincewide proportional rep based on votes in a district, 1 rep per 75,000 votes. This is a change from the 1990s when it was based on districts called "Wards" or "Regions". These still exist today only within postal addresses and street names. Elections are held every 4 years or can occur every 2 years depending on if an election is called by a majority vote for the Legislature at the start of a new session. The number of seats is updated every 5 years based on the census. Whatever coalition has a majority of seats, can have its leader become Prime Minister and appoint cabinet members. Though officially the President of the Legislature manages daily proceedings. The President of the Legislature is usually the leader of a collation partner, although may be any MP.
==Organization==
The Slokaisian Legislature is divided into 17 Ministry Committees each headed up by a Minister corresponding with a government Ministry. In addition, there is a National Security Committee and Rules Committee. The Ministry Committees are made up of 20 MPs with the makeup reflecting the overall composition of the Legislature. Each political party decides its representative internally, although smaller parties may combine if they make up less than 5% of the Legislature. The National Security Committee is a higher-level committee with 12 MPs each including the President of the Legislature and the Prime Minister. The Rules Committee is the largest being held in the main Legislative Chamber while other sub-committees are held. It consists of the President of the Legislature and 4 clerks chosen by the President who act as mediators to issues in the sub-committee, every MP may also speak for an unlimited amount and is the only committee to be broadcast live and 24/7. MPs typically use the Rules Committee as a formal meeting place or to make a speech to the public.

Slokasian Rail Authority is a railway operator in [[Slokais Islands]]. It is an agency inside the Ministry of Transportation that runs over 2,000 miles of track in Slokais. Slokasian Rail was created in 1918 by President [[Alexander Lin]], although greatly expanded during the 1930s and 40s. In 2022 passenger traffic was 115,789,456 journeys over the course of the year.
==History==
Rail transportation in Slokais began in the year 1868 with the opening of the Central Railway from San Fernando to Semragana by the San Fernando Rail Corporation. Although the line was private and mainly served the wealthy landowners of Semragana. Most early rail remained segregated with Blancos and Costenioans in one car and all other ethnic groups in another. This was due to rail being seen as an attraction rather than a public service, however, when the number of those who used railways for traveling to work and school grew, demand for a public rail system grew within the colonial govermeant. In 1881, the first public rail service opened from New Liverpool to San Fernando, with a freight line being built alongside to connect the two cities.
===Republic Era===
===High-Speed Era===
Between 1995 and 2015, 21 billion Marks were spent on upgrading the system to high speed and building new lines. The gage for most lines is 3'6" but some smaller lines are non-electrified slower trains. The route of most lines is made to go through already built city transit hubs and then from those hubs smaller slower local lines. However, the fastest train is the San Fernando Line from [[San Fernando]] through [[San Jose]] and [[New Liverpool]] and ends in [[Victoria City]]. On average trains on the San Fernando Line can go up to 200 mph or 321kmh.
==Ammenties and Fairs==
On some of the longer train trips, meals are included in your ticket price, for example, the San Fernando Line typically has a selection of rice dishes. Ticket prices are set per mile with lower prices on off-peak hours. However less-used lines are not set per mile but at a set price. Tickets can be either in physical form or in an SR Railcard which is taken from your balance every time you swipe at the exits of platforms. These tickets can be filled either by phone or by ticket machine. Fair is reduced for those under 12 and over 65, with homeless persons receiving free fair cards for certain lines.
==SR Connections==
Slokasian Rail operates or jointly operates a number of non-railroad lines. This includes the Silver Train, a direct metro line between New Liverpool Station and Central Station, the hub of the New Liverpool Metro. SR also operates a number of bus routes, especially in the Outer Islands. SR also operates an international ferry line from Kirkwall to Sokhae in [[Haesan]].

Ticket prices are set per mile with lower prices on off-peak hours. However less-used lines are not set per mile but at a set price. Tickets can be either in physical form or in an SR Railcard which is taken from your balance every time you swipe at the exits of platforms. These tickets can be filled either by phone or by ticket machine. Fair is reduced for those under 12 and over 65, with homeless persons receiving free fair cards for certain lines.

The Federation of Slokais Islands is a federal semi-presidential republic located on the continent of [[Hesperida]]. Slokais is an archipelago of several major islands and numerous minor islands. A large amount of the population is bilingual or trilingual. It has a population of around 64,960,000 with the three main religions being Christianity, Islam, and Minjian. Slokais borders the [[Slokais Sea]] to the north, [[Aredoa]] and [[Mallancaland]] to the south, and [[Haesan]] to the northwest. The name Slokais comes from the Ambonar word for "place of islands". Slokais is renowned for its fishing and agricultural industries with a sizeable export of consumer goods and electronics.

==History==
===Early History===
The first humans may have visited the islands around 25,000-10,000 BCE. These people were the ancestors of today’s tribes. The name for this period of people is the Lumadang Period; most people were hunter-gatherers with few settlements. These people spoke a vast variety of languages and each developed a diverse range of practices. It's understood however these people migrated from mainland Eastern Hesperida. The next period was the Ocama Period between 10,000-1,000 BCE. The Ocama had a much more noticeable impact with the best example being the Ojiang Lake near Puerta Leon. The people of the Ocama Period buildings were made out of grass and mud bricks therefore thus they primarily lived near water. At Ojiang Lake, each building known as a Kineyara, each one housing around 10 people with their beds situated around a central fireplace. The Ojiang Lake people developed a written language that survives as the language spoken by Kna'raoh ethnic group.

The Ocama Period ended due to the arrival of the Makan who arrived by boat from the mainland. These people are the ancestors of modern tribes. They arrived from the land that is now Laeral and Haesan bringing cultural traditions and language with them. They began to split off onto different islands though those on San Fernando Island succeeded the most. They were known for their earthen temples, especially in Pinjiang Valley which was the center of their civilization. Around 500 BC was the explosion of rice farming mainly in the lowlands and valleys of the Central Islands. This was the end of Slokais’s early history as many texts began to be written around this time.

===Classical Period===
This period began around 300 BC with the founding of the Kamjana Kingdom in modern-day Colorado. Built upon a system of rice farming and owners, Kamjana conquered much of San Fernando Island and funded a series of art projects. By the 450s, Kamjanaian royalty had amassed considerable wealth and began construction of a new capital at Pembragan. Meanwhile, modern innovations such as silk and cloth production spread across the islands. At this time, the Nohan-Junara language group took over as the primary system of communication with a written alphabet. Janghara rose in the 600s on Acadia Island with a more religious form of traditionalism and idol worship. This conflicted with the arrival of the [[Minjian Faith]] in 789.
===Kingdoms Era===
The Kingdoms Era can be defined by three empires, the [[Pindai State]], the [[Ambonar Kingdom]] and Kaijan. The Pindai State came into existence during the collapse of the Jagahara and was driven by Minjian converts on Acadia Island. Pindai which was completed in 1078, soon became the most prominent city within the region as traders flocked to the city to sell goods. Pindai soon became a gateway between mainland Hesperida and what would become Slokais. This gave the Pindai State great power, one which it used to take over surrounding areas quickly. Instead of managing these new lands directly, the Pindai State created a vessel system in which local rulers kept control and were rewarded as long as exports to Pindai remained steady and the Minjian faith was spread. However, resistance was fierce, especially in Southern Slokais, meaning Pindai never reached beyond the Tedaya Kingdom in modern-day Victoria Province.

Around 1150, the Ambonar Kingdom came into existence in the historical region of Ambonarland. Practicing a form of spirit worship, Ambonar quickly became the largest military power in the eastern half of San Fernando Island. Instead of trade, the Ambonar Kingdom created wealth through the enslavement and servitude of surrounding states. Goods such as gold, silver, and steel became the key to wealth for the Ambonar elites. Eventually, Ambonar would come into conflict with Pindai in 1207, which was the start of the First Kingdom War. Starting as a dispute between a Pindai tribute state and an Ambonar general in modern-day Valleres Province, the First Kingdom War grew into a wide-reaching conflict. Ambonar initially took the upper hand advancing as far as the Pinjiang River, leaving a path of destruction behind them. However, a revolt within the Ambonar territory led to Pindai launching a successful naval and land campaign. In 1222, a treaty was signed that set the boundary as the Punjigari Mountains{{efn|Known today as the Sierra Blancos Mountains}}.
===Colonial Era===
===Republic Era===
In the first election after independence, Howard Prince-Gonzalez of the Left Party became the nation's first president. He is considered the best president in Slokasian History as he established many agencies such as the Ministry of Defense the Ministry Of Education and many others. In 1898 however, stepped down saying that he had made the nation better to the best of his ability. His replacement was Henry Banks also of the Left Party who had formerly been the Prime Minister. He retained his position until 1912 when he was voted out in favor of by [[Alexander Lin]] of the Center Party. Lin was the first Ren president of Slokais when elected.

While he was in office Lin set a series of sweeping reforms including giving women the right to vote, and social security, and setting in place local governance. However, after a conspiracy was discovered in 1922, Lin lost much of his popular and political support. In 1924, David Livingstone of the Conservative Party was elected. Livingstone encouraged industrial development and railroad construction by any means. Livingstone also reduced the power of the Prime Minister and took it upon himself to modernize the country. However, Livingstone was assassinated in 1938 by a left-wing radical. The position of President was left vacant for a few months, although Howard Remenez of the Left Party was elected in the 1938 Election. Remenez imbraced social-democratic policy and guided Slokais into a regional power. Juan Costa of the National Reform Party, defeated Remenez in 1950, largely on a populist, isolationist platform. Costa created National Reformism, an ideology calling for a syndicalist and autocratic government. Costa used autocratic methods to remain in power, with the Reformist Brigade enforcing his policy. In 1961, [[Juan Costa]] entered Slokais into the [[Great War]]. As a result, Slokais quickly developed its military and weapons industry. In 1963, Slokais invaded [[Haesan]] eventually overwhelming the government with the support of [[Darya]]. Internally, however, various rebel groups rose up leading to a brutal civil war. These groups created the Federation Army with military support coming from the Coalition of Democratic Forces. In 1966, a combined force invaded Slokais with the Federation Army taking [[New Liverpool]] in 1967.

===Post-War===
After the war, the first president of the new federation was Howard Xiang of the Conservative Party who was popular as he lowered taxes and boosted the economy for many years. Yet in 1984 he was voted out in favor of Joseph Ocsta who was a popular younger Left Party who created many welfares as well as Road and Transit plans as well as luring business to the Islands. However, his more left-leaning views split the party and allowed the Conservative Party to gain control in the elections of 1988 and elected Pablo Smith the first mixed president of Slokais. However, he was well-liked as he kept the more radical Conservatives under control until 1994 when the party instead picked Brooke Wellesley, the first female president who ended up winning. But the Process split the party slowly and the by-election of 2000 created utter chaos within the country leading to mass protests. Finally, however, the dust settled and Sean Khan won as the leader of the Centrist Party and was very back and forth on issues but was a strong environmentalist and helped give funding to preserve many historical areas. However, in 2007 armed Rebels took over parts of Kaijan Island and created the New Kajian Republic. Sean Khan’s response however was bad and he was voted out in 2008.

He was replaced with George Oliver of the Conservatives who served in the army and ended the war by 2011. However, in 2014 he was replaced by Joseph Zhang of the Centrist Party. However, Joseph Chavez took control from 2016 to 2018 as a Left Party Member he lost in 2018 and his new party the National Alliance Party controlled of the Legislature. In late 2020, the Kaijan Insurgency took some of the countries leading to a brief civil war in Kaijan. After his win in the 2020 Elections, Joseph Chavez dealt with several crises at home and abroad. However, he lost in 2022 due to the political resurgence of Brooke Weasley. Since taking office Weasley has re-started some expansionist policies as the country became involved in [[Second Roucourtain Civil War]].

==Geography==
Slokais Islands is made up of around 750 islands of which around 650 are inhabited. These islands are usually divided into four regions, San Fernando Island, which is the most populous and most important island. The Southern Isles include Kaijan, Dolphin Isle, and Puerto Vesas Island. The Central Islands, include Acadia, Xiang, and Princeton Islands. And finally, the Outer Isles which include Northern Isles and Eastern Isles Provinces as well as the Far'awe Island chain. Each of these regions shares general geographical and climate characteristics with most islands being formed from the pre-historic island of Pulaubesa which separated from the Hesperidan continent millions of years ago. Climate-wise, Slokais is generally a temperate country with tropical rainforests being found in Kaijan and Dolphin Isle.

Slokais is defined by mountain ranges, as most islands are formed from under-sea mountain ranges. These created several river valleys which were and are the centers of population and farming. The most prominent and largest valley is the San Fernando Valley, formed between the Sierra Blancos and Silverado Mountains. Ice-melt high in the mountains feeds several tributaries which form the San Fernando River.
===Departments Provinces and Townships===
Slokais Islands is comprised of 29 provinces and 1 special district{{efn|[[New Liverpool]] is classified as both a special district and a city}} Each with its provincial government managing local services in cooperation with the federal government, in addition, each province is managed by a parliament as well as a governor which is popularly elected. However, the power of the states has fluctuated throughout history. Each province is also divided into further administrative divisions known as townships, which are used further to divide services such as education, police, and fire, there are 178 townships with each having a designated township seat<ref>Typically the township is named for the township-seat, although some such as Bay Township, [[South Acadia]] are not</ref>

===Climate and Topography===
The climate of San Fernando Island is a humid subtropical climate. This is uniform across most of the country except Kaijan Island, which has a tropical monsoon climate. In contrast, the Northern islands have a more temperate climate. The Highest point in Slokais is [[Mt Silverado]] at a height of 12,789 feet or 3898 meters. While the lowest point is at Lake Lugana which is swamp-like at -7 feet below sea level. Because Slokais is a mountainous country there are many hot springs as well as volcanos mainly in the Blancos Mountains on Kaijan. There have also been many earthquakes as the islands are on the convergence of two tectonic plates. The worst earthquake was in 1977 an earthquake 6.8 on the Richter scale. The terrain of most islands is split into two parts: the mountains of the central island and grasslands and river valleys cutting through the mountains. The largest ranges are the San Fernando Mountains, Blancos Mountains, and the Western Mountains. The Southernmost point of Slokais is Mancibangio Island which is a small island with a lighthouse and small plaque 40 miles south of Kaijan. The Northernmost point of Slokais however is Vereal Point in Fa'away Islands

===Flora and Fauna===
The most common type of tree is the Slokaisan Cypress and the San Fernando Fir at higher elevations. Bird-wise the most notable bird is the Slokaisian thrush which is also the national bird and is very well protected. However one can not forget the national animal, the Red Mountain Bear which is known to be found in forests at high elevations. All of this flora and fauna are found in one of Slokais Islands' many National Parks. There are in total 31 of them scattered across the country. The system was founded in 1992 but expanded by President Sean Khan in the early 2000s. For example, some of the smaller islands are almost 100% protected land. It's starting to become an issue of people getting lost in these natural areas. So in 2016, the Forest and Mountain Service were formed to help stop this issue from happening.

===Food===
The food of the Slokais Islands is inspired by Slokasian which has more seafood and spices to English food which is more focused on grains and soups. The most popular food in Slokais is Cook Up, which is a lot of meat and seafood mixed together with spices and then eaten with rice or noodles. They are usually large and are shared between groups of people. However, a popular snack is Tea Balls, which are tea leaves mixed with nutmeg and fruit like rambutan, mangos, or melon all inside small balls of dough. A popular drink is Venta, which is coffee mixed with a mixture of fruit and sweetened tea, it can be served hot or cold and is served all year round. A popular vegetable dish is Kanman which is carrot, onion, or any other local vegetables mixed into a soup mix the served with noodles. A more fancy dish is Vencinene steak, which is topped with sauce and served with bread. Speaking of bread, the local bread is called Malo bread and is very soft and chewy and is used as a side or to hold meats. Food in Slokais is meant to incorporate whatever is available or local so these dishes can change by region or island. For a Slokaisan, food is to be eaten with others even if you do not know them.

== Culture==
===Religion and Race===
Religion plays a somewhat important part in life in Slokais Islands for those who practice it. of the 41% of people that affiliate themselves with Christianity and about 65% of those are Roman Catholics due to the influences of Costeno though they are not as socially conservative as other Catholics due to the prevalence of the Virgin Mary. 25% is Protestant the most famous place of worship the Church of St Willaim of Port Lee had been active since 1803. The other 10% is various other sects. Atheism and general casual attitudes towards religion have contributed to a greater separation of religious matters from government, for example, Sean Khan is a known atheist. Islam had existed in Slokais since the 1400s, currently, they live mostly in Kaijan but there are sizeable populations found in cities, their blend of social conservativism but acceptance of left-leaning economic values had made Muslim Union a key part of the government. The Minjian Fath had existed in Slokais Islands since the 700s, originally from the Hesperidan Mainland mostly Ren practiced the Minjian Fath in various temples across the country. Zongogism is new to Slokais Islands is a very diverse ethnic base and is popular among the well-educated and religious Slokaisians. The largest "other" faith is Judialism at 3.1% of the population with most Jews being of Blancos origin.

For a long time, Ren was the largest racial group however that has decreased as both Mixed and Kaiajanese are the largest growing racial groups. In a few years, the amount of young people has grown as the number of new immigrants from other nations has grown mainly from Hesperida. These populations are included under the current racial groups for example those from [[Lauchenoiria]] are considered Costeno and those from [[Lao Sansong]] are considered Ren. However, the largest group considered under the category other is self-identified Ahandrans who make up about 2.1% of the population.

===Social Issues===
People in Slokais Islands are somewhat more socially conservative than much of the democratic world, as religion still has an impact on social values. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2014 by the Zhang administration by a majority vote in the House. It is also illegal to discriminate based on gender, race, or sexuality since 2021. Non-medical uses of marijuana are illegal nationwide but some provinces have passed provisions, and medical use has been legal since 2015. Abortion was long opposed by the Catholic Church and it was not made legal nationwide until 2005. Firearms have long been part of local culture and because of this guns are permitted for all hunting purposes to be used for security, one must pass a safety test and must get a doctor's approval before buying handheld weapons, all other weapons can not be bought per the 2006 Firearms Use Act.
===Art===
Traditionally much of the art in Slokais was designed for religious or ceremonial purposes. For example, one of the earliest examples of art was a series of murals in East Xiang calling for a bountiful harvest made around 5,000 BCE. Clay is a common material in much of traditional pottery although areas in Victoria Province and Kaijan utilized a hardy mixture of stone and shell deposits. Upon the arrival of Minjian settlers around 750 CE, the styles of traditional Laerallian art began to influence the style of work. This development even influenced non-Minjian art in the types of materials used. Upon the arrival of Costeno in the 1500s, Slokaisian Art was becoming distant for its use of vibrant colors and natural materials. These styles influenced Costenonian art and many paintings of the area feature distinct vibrancy not found in other colonies. Art, classical and modern is mainly on display in the Museum of Classical Culture and History.

===Sport===
The nation has long been active in many sports but mainly Football(Soccer) and Basketball as well as many water sports such as polo and swimming. In almost every neighborhood you can find pickup football and basketball games. The country has a pro football league with the [[Slokasian Premier League]] as well as lower divisions as well as a pro basketball league with the Slokais Basketball League. A sport that is local to only Slokais is Drywall Ball, invented in the 70s at a middle school gym the game has grown a lot and there is now a pro league, the [[Grand Drywall Ball League]] or the DBL. The game is played between two large walls each about 20-30 feet high. There are two teams of about 15 players in 3 lines, the Attacking Line, the Grand Line, and Final Line. The goal is to get the ball to touch the other wall. However, you can not cross into the opposing side and you must serve it like in volleyball. You can pick it up from the ground by throwing it up from below.

==Govermeant==
The Government structure has 3 main branches, the executive branch which includes the President and the [[Cabinet of Slokais]] and other officials as well as the [[Tribal Counil|Tribal Council of Slokais]]. The legislative branch includes the [[Slokasian Legislature]] with 643 members elected by party list every 2 years. And finally the [[Supreme Court of Slokais]] for the judicial branch. The current President is [[Brooke Weasley]] and the Prime Minister [[Jospeh Chavez]]. Currently, elections occur every 4 years, with the ability to declare an election as soon as 2 years with a vote within the [[Slokasian Legislature]].
===Constitution===
The Constitution of the Slokais Islands has been changed twice. The first one from 1894 included a section about the government of the Slokais Islands. However back then the powers of the President were increased above many other figures, also 11 amendments were added later ranging from women's voting rights to changes regarding civil rights. However, after the [[Great War]] in 1971, the new constitution changed the powers of mainly the president and set up checks and balances for the country, and made amendments easier to enact. Since 1971 there have been 12 Amendments ranging from getting rid of term limits, to religious and personal freedoms amendments.
===Major Parties===
The major parties are the Center-left [[National Alliance (Slokais)|National Alliance]] and the [[Conservative Party of Slokais]] as well as the Centrist, Green, and New Right parties. From 1891 through the 90s the major parties were [[The Left Party of Slokais]] and the Conservatives with breaks during the rule of John Costa when the largest party was the National Reform Party. However, in the 90s the parties began to and by 2000 it was a mess with the Green Party coming on top and the Centrist Party not far behind, The parties kept splitting apart and in 2018 the new National Alliance absorbed the Left Party. In 2020 the Conservatives took a major hit in support before rebounding in the 2022 Election. Some places have local parties like the Muslim Union and the KPP in Kaijan or Green and Blue in Eastern Isles.
==Miltary==
The military took root in the Revolutionary Army in 1891 though the military was shrunk and then grew again in the 60s under Juan Costa. After the Civil War, the remnants of the armies came together and for a few years the military was large, however, the military was decreased and funding moved to other places. However, the military today is still a sizeable force and has a very good navy and coast guard.
===Army===
The Army is made up of 2 armies the Domestic Army and the Overseas Army. The Domestic Army is less used and has only been used in the Kaijan Wars. The Overseas Army has seen more use and often moves around it was used in the [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War]]. They are each made of armored divisions that used Patton Tanks as well as M109 Howitzers as well as older models of the AH Super Cobra Helicopter. The Field Division is made mostly of assault vehicles and infantry, they also use weaponry from larger military such as LOM
as well as many Humvves are used. Both types use helicopters for aerial and transport support.
==Economy==
Today Slokais has a mixed economy with state involvement and foreign trade. In keeping with this idea, some large industrial companies are state-owned. The currency of Slokais is the Markon. The biggest source of income is still the fishing industry, mostly through the [[United Fishery Union]] though there is a transition towards tech and service jobs. Slokais is a hub for computing, telecommunications, and data management. These types of jobs are found in the San Fernando Valley, with San Jose, being at its center. Another industry is farming, with rice and many types of fruits and vegetables. The average income is $27,000 Sancatarian Marks or $200,000 Slokais Islands Marks.

The Federation of Slokais Islands is a federal semi-presidential republic located on the continent of [[Hesperida]]. Slokais is an archipelago of several major islands and numerous minor islands. A large amount of the population is bilingual or trilingual. It has a population of around 64,960,000 with the three main religions being Christianity, Islam, and Minjian. Slokais borders the [[Slokais Sea]] to the north, [[Aredoa]] and [[Mallancaland]] to the south, and [[Haesan]] to the northwest. The name Slokais comes from the Ambonar word for "place of islands". Slokais is renowned for its fishing and agricultural industries with a sizeable export of consumer goods and electronics.

==History==
===Early History===
The first humans may have visited the islands around 25,000-10,000 BCE. These people were the ancestors of today’s tribes. The name for this period of people is the Lumadang Period; most people were hunter-gatherers with few settlements. These people spoke a vast variety of languages and each developed a diverse range of practices. It's understood however these people migrated from mainland Eastern Hesperida. The next period was the Ocama Period between 10,000-1,000 BCE. The Ocama had a much more noticeable impact with the best example being the Ojiang Lake near Puerta Leon. The people of the Ocama Period buildings were made out of grass and mud bricks therefore thus they primarily lived near water. At Ojiang Lake, each building known as a Kineyara, each one housing around 10 people with their beds situated around a central fireplace. The Ojiang Lake people developed a written language that survives as the language spoken by Kna'raoh ethnic group.

The Ocama Period ended due to the arrival of the Makan who arrived by boat from the mainland. These people are the ancestors of modern tribes. They arrived from the land that is now Laeral and Haesan bringing cultural traditions and language with them. They began to split off onto different islands though those on San Fernando Island succeeded the most. They were known for their earthen temples, especially in Pinjiang Valley which was the center of their civilization. Around 500 BC was the explosion of rice farming mainly in the lowlands and valleys of the Central Islands. This was the end of Slokais’s early history as many texts began to be written around this time.

===Classical Period===
This period began around 300 BC with the founding of the Kamjana Kingdom in modern-day Colorado. Built upon a system of rice farming and owners, Kamjana conquered much of San Fernando Island and funded a series of art projects. By the 450s, Kamjanaian royalty had amassed considerable wealth and began construction of a new capital at Pembragan. Meanwhile, modern innovations such as silk and cloth production spread across the islands. At this time, the Nohan-Junara language group took over as the primary system of communication with a written alphabet. Janghara rose in the 600s on Acadia Island with a more religious form of traditionalism and idol worship. This conflicted with the arrival of the [[Minjian Faith]] in 789.
===Kingdoms Era===
The Kingdoms Era can be defined by three empires, the [[Pindai State]], the [[Ambonar Kingdom]] and Kaijan. The Pindai State came into existence during the collapse of the Jagahara and was driven by Minjian converts on Acadia Island. Pindai which was completed in 1078, soon became the most prominent city within the region as traders flocked to the city to sell goods. Pindai soon became a gateway between mainland Hesperida and what would become Slokais. This gave the Pindai State great power, one which it used to take over surrounding areas quickly. Instead of managing these new lands directly, the Pindai State created a vessel system in which local rulers kept control and were rewarded as long as exports to Pindai remained steady and the Minjian faith was spread. However, resistance was fierce, especially in Southern Slokais, meaning Pindai never reached beyond the Tedaya Kingdom in modern-day Victoria Province.

Around 1150, the Ambonar Kingdom came into existence in the historical region of Ambonarland. Practicing a form of spirit worship, Ambonar quickly became the largest military power in the eastern half of San Fernando Island. Instead of trade, the Ambonar Kingdom created wealth through the enslavement and servitude of surrounding states. Goods such as gold, silver, and steel became the key to wealth for the Ambonar elites. Eventually, Ambonar would come into conflict with Pindai in 1207, which was the start of the First Kingdom War. Starting as a dispute between a Pindai tribute state and an Ambonar general in modern-day Valleres Province, the First Kingdom War grew into a wide-reaching conflict. Ambonar initially took the upper hand advancing as far as the Pinjiang River, leaving a path of destruction behind them. However, a revolt within the Ambonar territory led to Pindai launching a successful naval and land campaign. In 1222, a treaty was signed that set the boundary as the Punjigari Mountains{{efn|Known today as the Sierra Blancos Mountains}}.
===Colonial Era===
===Republic Era===
In the first election after independence, Howard Prince-Gonzalez of the Left Party became the nation's first president. He is considered the best president in Slokasian History as he established many agencies such as the Ministry of Defense the Ministry Of Education and many others. In 1898 however, stepped down saying that he had made the nation better to the best of his ability. His replacement was Henry Banks also of the Left Party who had formerly been the Prime Minister. He retained his position until 1912 when he was voted out in favor of by [[Alexander Lin]] of the Center Party. Lin was the first Ren president of Slokais when elected.

While he was in office Lin set a series of sweeping reforms including giving women the right to vote, and social security, and setting in place local governance. However, after a conspiracy was discovered in 1922, Lin lost much of his popular and political support. In 1924, David Livingstone of the Conservative Party was elected. Livingstone encouraged industrial development and railroad construction by any means. Livingstone also reduced the power of the Prime Minister and took it upon himself to modernize the country. However, Livingstone was assassinated in 1938 by a left-wing radical. The position of President was left vacant for a few months, although Howard Remenez of the Left Party was elected in the 1938 Election. Remenez imbraced social-democratic policy and guided Slokais into a regional power. Juan Costa of the National Reform Party, defeated Remenez in 1950, largely on a populist, isolationist platform. Costa created National Reformism, an ideology calling for a syndicalist and autocratic government. Costa used autocratic methods to remain in power, with the Reformist Brigade enforcing his policy. In 1961, [[Juan Costa]] entered Slokais into the [[Great War]]. As a result, Slokais quickly developed its military and weapons industry. In 1963, Slokais invaded [[Haesan]] eventually overwhelming the government with the support of [[Darya]]. Internally, however, various rebel groups rose up leading to a brutal civil war. These groups created the Federation Army with military support coming from the Coalition of Democratic Forces. In 1966, a combined force invaded Slokais with the Federation Army taking [[New Liverpool]] in 1967.

===Post-War===
After the war, the first president of the new federation was Howard Xiang of the Conservative Party who was popular as he lowered taxes and boosted the economy for many years. Yet in 1984 he was voted out in favor of Joseph Ocsta who was a popular younger Left Party who created many welfares as well as Road and Transit plans as well as luring business to the Islands. However, his more left-leaning views split the party and allowed the Conservative Party to gain control in the elections of 1988 and elected Pablo Smith the first mixed president of Slokais. However, he was well-liked as he kept the more radical Conservatives under control until 1994 when the party instead picked Brooke Wellesley, the first female president who ended up winning. But the Process split the party slowly and the by-election of 2000 created utter chaos within the country leading to mass protests. Finally, however, the dust settled and Sean Khan won as the leader of the Centrist Party and was very back and forth on issues but was a strong environmentalist and helped give funding to preserve many historical areas. However, in 2007 armed Rebels took over parts of Kaijan Island and created the New Kajian Republic. Sean Khan’s response however was bad and he was voted out in 2008.

He was replaced with George Oliver of the Conservatives who served in the army and ended the war by 2011. However, in 2014 he was replaced by Joseph Zhang of the Centrist Party. However, Joseph Chavez took control from 2016 to 2018 as a Left Party Member he lost in 2018 and his new party the National Alliance Party controlled of the Legislature. In late 2020, the Kaijan Insurgency took some of the countries leading to a brief civil war in Kaijan. After his win in the 2020 Elections, Joseph Chavez dealt with several crises at home and abroad. However, he lost in 2022 due to the political resurgence of Brooke Weasley. Since taking office Weasley has re-started some expansionist policies as the country became involved in [[Second Roucourtain Civil War]].

==Geography==
Slokais Islands is made up of around 750 islands of which around 650 are inhabited. These islands are usually divided into four regions, San Fernando Island, which is the most populous and most important island. The Southern Isles include Kaijan, Dolphin Isle, and Puerto Vesas Island. The Central Islands, include Acadia, Xiang, and Princeton Islands. And finally, the Outer Isles which include Northern Isles and Eastern Isles Provinces as well as the Far'awe Island chain. Each of these regions shares general geographical and climate characteristics with most islands being formed from the pre-historic island of Pulaubesa which separated from the Hesperidan continent millions of years ago. Climate-wise, Slokais is generally a temperate country with tropical rainforests being found in Kaijan and Dolphin Isle.

Slokais is defined by mountain ranges, as most islands are formed from under-sea mountain ranges. These created several river valleys which were and are the centers of population and farming. The most prominent and largest valley is the San Fernando Valley, formed between the Sierra Blancos and Silverado Mountains. Ice-melt high in the mountains feeds several tributaries which form the San Fernando River.
===Departments Provinces and Townships===
Slokais Islands is comprised of 29 provinces and 1 special district{{efn|[[New Liverpool]] is classified as both a special district and a city}} Each with its provincial government managing local services in cooperation with the federal government, in addition, each province is managed by a parliament as well as a governor which is popularly elected. However, the power of the states has fluctuated throughout history. Each province is also divided into further administrative divisions known as townships, which are used further to divide services such as education, police, and fire, there are 178 townships with each having a designated township seat {{efn|Typically the township is named for the township-seat, although some such as Bay Township, [[South Acadia]] are not]]

===Climate and Topography===
The climate of San Fernando Island is a humid subtropical climate. This is uniform across most of the country except Kaijan Island, which has a tropical monsoon climate. In contrast, the Northern islands have a more temperate climate. The Highest point in Slokais is [[Mt Silverado]] at a height of 12,789 feet or 3898 meters. While the lowest point is at Lake Lugana which is swamp-like at -7 feet below sea level. Because Slokais is a mountainous country there are many hot springs as well as volcanos mainly in the Blancos Mountains on Kaijan. There have also been many earthquakes as the islands are on the convergence of two tectonic plates. The worst earthquake was in 1977 an earthquake 6.8 on the Richter scale. The terrain of most islands is split into two parts: the mountains of the central island and grasslands and river valleys cutting through the mountains. The largest ranges are the San Fernando Mountains, Blancos Mountains, and the Western Mountains. The Southernmost point of Slokais is Mancibangio Island which is a small island with a lighthouse and small plaque 40 miles south of Kaijan. The Northernmost point of Slokais however is Vereal Point in Fa'away Islands

===Flora and Fauna===
The most common type of tree is the Slokaisan Cypress and the San Fernando Fir at higher elevations. Bird-wise the most notable bird is the Slokaisian thrush which is also the national bird and is very well protected. However one can not forget the national animal, the Red Mountain Bear which is known to be found in forests at high elevations. All of this flora and fauna are found in one of Slokais Islands' many National Parks. There are in total 31 of them scattered across the country. The system was founded in 1992 but expanded by President Sean Khan in the early 2000s. For example, some of the smaller islands are almost 100% protected land. It's starting to become an issue of people getting lost in these natural areas. So in 2016, the Forest and Mountain Service were formed to help stop this issue from happening.

===Food===
The food of the Slokais Islands is inspired by Slokasian which has more seafood and spices to English food which is more focused on grains and soups. The most popular food in Slokais is Cook Up, which is a lot of meat and seafood mixed together with spices and then eaten with rice or noodles. They are usually large and are shared between groups of people. However, a popular snack is Tea Balls, which are tea leaves mixed with nutmeg and fruit like rambutan, mangos, or melon all inside small balls of dough. A popular drink is Venta, which is coffee mixed with a mixture of fruit and sweetened tea, it can be served hot or cold and is served all year round. A popular vegetable dish is Kanman which is carrot, onion, or any other local vegetables mixed into a soup mix the served with noodles. A more fancy dish is Vencinene steak, which is topped with sauce and served with bread. Speaking of bread, the local bread is called Malo bread and is very soft and chewy and is used as a side or to hold meats. Food in Slokais is meant to incorporate whatever is available or local so these dishes can change by region or island. For a Slokaisan, food is to be eaten with others even if you do not know them.

== Culture==
===Religion and Race===
Religion plays a somewhat important part in life in Slokais Islands for those who practice it. of the 41% of people that affiliate themselves with Christianity and about 65% of those are Roman Catholics due to the influences of Costeno though they are not as socially conservative as other Catholics due to the prevalence of the Virgin Mary. 25% is Protestant the most famous place of worship the Church of St Willaim of Port Lee had been active since 1803. The other 10% is various other sects. Atheism and general casual attitudes towards religion have contributed to a greater separation of religious matters from government, for example, Sean Khan is a known atheist. Islam had existed in Slokais since the 1400s, currently, they live mostly in Kaijan but there are sizeable populations found in cities, their blend of social conservativism but acceptance of left-leaning economic values had made Muslim Union a key part of the government. The Minjian Fath had existed in Slokais Islands since the 700s, originally from the Hesperidan Mainland mostly Ren practiced the Minjian Fath in various temples across the country. Zongogism is new to Slokais Islands is a very diverse ethnic base and is popular among the well-educated and religious Slokaisians. The largest "other" faith is Judialism at 3.1% of the population with most Jews being of Blancos origin.

For a long time, Ren was the largest racial group however that has decreased as both Mixed and Kaiajanese are the largest growing racial groups. In a few years, the amount of young people has grown as the number of new immigrants from other nations has grown mainly from Hesperida. These populations are included under the current racial groups for example those from [[Lauchenoiria]] are considered Costeno and those from [[Lao Sansong]] are considered Ren. However, the largest group considered under the category other is self-identified Ahandrans who make up about 2.1% of the population.

===Social Issues===
People in Slokais Islands are somewhat more socially conservative than much of the democratic world, as religion still has an impact on social values. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2014 by the Zhang administration by a majority vote in the House. It is also illegal to discriminate based on gender, race, or sexuality since 2021. Non-medical uses of marijuana are illegal nationwide but some provinces have passed provisions, and medical use has been legal since 2015. Abortion was long opposed by the Catholic Church and it was not made legal nationwide until 2005. Firearms have long been part of local culture and because of this guns are permitted for all hunting purposes to be used for security, one must pass a safety test and must get a doctor's approval before buying handheld weapons, all other weapons can not be bought per the 2006 Firearms Use Act.
===Art===
Traditionally much of the art in Slokais was designed for religious or ceremonial purposes. For example, one of the earliest examples of art was a series of murals in East Xiang calling for a bountiful harvest made around 5,000 BCE. Clay is a common material in much of traditional pottery although areas in Victoria Province and Kaijan utilized a hardy mixture of stone and shell deposits. Upon the arrival of Minjian settlers around 750 CE, the styles of traditional Laerallian art began to influence the style of work. This development even influenced non-Minjian art in the types of materials used. Upon the arrival of Costeno in the 1500s, Slokaisian Art was becoming distant for its use of vibrant colors and natural materials. These styles influenced Costenonian art and many paintings of the area feature distinct vibrancy not found in other colonies. Art, classical and modern is mainly on display in the Museum of Classical Culture and History.

===Sport===
The nation has long been active in many sports but mainly Football(Soccer) and Basketball as well as many water sports such as polo and swimming. In almost every neighborhood you can find pickup football and basketball games. The country has a pro football league with the [[Slokasian Premier League]] as well as lower divisions as well as a pro basketball league with the Slokais Basketball League. A sport that is local to only Slokais is Drywall Ball, invented in the 70s at a middle school gym the game has grown a lot and there is now a pro league, the [[Grand Drywall Ball League]] or the DBL. The game is played between two large walls each about 20-30 feet high. There are two teams of about 15 players in 3 lines, the Attacking Line, the Grand Line, and Final Line. The goal is to get the ball to touch the other wall. However, you can not cross into the opposing side and you must serve it like in volleyball. You can pick it up from the ground by throwing it up from below.

==Govermeant==
The Government structure has 3 main branches, the executive branch which includes the President and the [[Cabinet of Slokais]] and other officials as well as the [[Tribal Counil|Tribal Council of Slokais]]. The legislative branch includes the [[Slokasian Legislature]] with 643 members elected by party list every 2 years. And finally the [[Supreme Court of Slokais]] for the judicial branch. The current President is [[Brooke Weasley]] and the Prime Minister [[Jospeh Chavez]]. Currently, elections occur every 4 years, with the ability to declare an election as soon as 2 years with a vote within the [[Slokasian Legislature]].
===Constitution===
The Constitution of the Slokais Islands has been changed twice. The first one from 1894 included a section about the government of the Slokais Islands. However back then the powers of the President were increased above many other figures, also 11 amendments were added later ranging from women's voting rights to changes regarding civil rights. However, after the [[Great War]] in 1971, the new constitution changed the powers of mainly the president and set up checks and balances for the country, and made amendments easier to enact. Since 1971 there have been 12 Amendments ranging from getting rid of term limits, to religious and personal freedoms amendments.
===Major Parties===
The major parties are the Center-left [[National Alliance (Slokais)|National Alliance]] and the [[Conservative Party of Slokais]] as well as the Centrist, Green, and New Right parties. From 1891 through the 90s the major parties were [[The Left Party of Slokais]] and the Conservatives with breaks during the rule of John Costa when the largest party was the National Reform Party. However, in the 90s the parties began to and by 2000 it was a mess with the Green Party coming on top and the Centrist Party not far behind, The parties kept splitting apart and in 2018 the new National Alliance absorbed the Left Party. In 2020 the Conservatives took a major hit in support before rebounding in the 2022 Election. Some places have local parties like the Muslim Union and the KPP in Kaijan or Green and Blue in Eastern Isles.
==Miltary==
The military took root in the Revolutionary Army in 1891 though the military was shrunk and then grew again in the 60s under Juan Costa. After the Civil War, the remnants of the armies came together and for a few years the military was large, however, the military was decreased and funding moved to other places. However, the military today is still a sizeable force and has a very good navy and coast guard.
===Army===
The Army is made up of 2 armies the Domestic Army and the Overseas Army. The Domestic Army is less used and has only been used in the Kaijan Wars. The Overseas Army has seen more use and often moves around it was used in the [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War]]. They are each made of armored divisions that used Patton Tanks as well as M109 Howitzers as well as older models of the AH Super Cobra Helicopter. The Field Division is made mostly of assault vehicles and infantry, they also use weaponry from larger military such as LOM
as well as many Humvves are used. Both types use helicopters for aerial and transport support.
==Economy==
Today Slokais has a mixed economy with state involvement and foreign trade. In keeping with this idea, some large industrial companies are state-owned. The currency of Slokais is the Markon. The biggest source of income is still the fishing industry, mostly through the [[United Fishery Union]] though there is a transition towards tech and service jobs. Slokais is a hub for computing, telecommunications, and data management. These types of jobs are found in the San Fernando Valley, with San Jose, being at its center. Another industry is farming, with rice and many types of fruits and vegetables. The average income is $27,000 Sancatarian Marks or $200,000 Slokais Islands Marks.

The New Party is a political party in [[Slokais Islands]], founded in 1999, the New Right is considered a major political party. Although originally founded among evangelicals dissatisfied with the Conservative's handling of the economic crisis of 1998, by the mid-2010s party leadership became dominated by those from Ambonar Province. Today the party is led by Isaias Jovan Bongalos who took over from former Presidential candidate and social media personality, Micheal Spencer.
==History==
In 1999, a group of political thinkers and Conservative members gathered in Newton, North Princeton, and founded a new political party known as the New Right, to oppose the so-called "old right". In the words of the founder Ramiro Acosta, "the New Right, seeks to both to restore and advance right-wing politics" {{efn|Acosta's opening statement in the 2000 Presidential Debate|}} The original party platform called for an end to immigration and a vast reduction in govermeant spending. In the 2000 Election, the New Right elected 12 MPs primarily in North and South Princeton, establishing the provinces as early centers for the New Right.

Through the 2000s, the New Right presented itself as a working-class alternative to the Conservative's dominance of middle-class and wealthy suburbanites. Although they lacked the support from mainstream organized labor, the New Right's advocacy for coal miners led to a 2006 endorsement by the Organization of Slokasian Mine Workers (OSMW) which helped the New Right win elections in coal-heavy regions such as [[West Xiang]] and rural Valleres Province. In 2016, the New Right elected Micheal Spencer as their Presidential candidate, Spencer brought together a new colation of voters with his widely popular radio program. In addition, the Ambonar Christian Party (ACP), a major provincial party endorsed Spencer leading to support from the typically high turnout Ambonar Christians.
==Politcal Policy==
The New Right is socially conservative and nationalistic, with the party being overwhelmingly evangelical Christian. Values include opposition to government expansion and immigration, with freedom over one's self-being a defining value. Although not explicitly against Abortion and same-sex marriage, large numbers of party voters support the end of both practices. In addition, the New Right is largely populist, with conspiracy theories such as the Kaijan War Plot having support from New Right figures.
==Demographics==
Since the mid-2010s, the New Right has been strongest among [[Ambonar Church of God|Ambonar Christians]] due to socially conservative policy and the takeover of the party by church members. In addition, the New Right has strong support among rural working-class voters, specifically in the coal mining industry due to the party's opposition to environmental regulations which the New Right has blamed for the economic decline of rural Slokais.

The Pindai State was a [[Minjian]]-based trading empire that existed from 1037 to its voluntary dissolution in 1829. During its existence, Pindai was the primary trading and military power in what would become [[Slokais Islands]]. During its peak from the 1400s to the 1600s, the Pindai State had a vast trading network and collection of vassal states from [[Far’awae]] to [[North Kaijan|Kaijan]].
==History==
===Formation===
The Pindai State was founded in 1037, upon the defeat of the Jangharab Empire in the [[Great War of Faith]]. Yǒufú Shen Yimu declared May 8th, 1037 as the start of his reign by holding a meeting of 14 advisors known as The Council of Enlightened Ones. These advisors were quickly assigned to various State agencies, the most important being the Agency of Trade. According to Shen Yimu's personal biography, "Trade is one's most powerful tool, it is both a hand of peace and a blade of war"{{efn|Published several years after his death, scholars estimate the quote came from a writer of the day and the quote was applied to Shen Yimu|}} By the 1050s, Pindai was completed upon its original plans with around 70,000 estimated residents. The early decades of the Pindai State saw massive growth in farming through state land ownership, with most citizens receiving loans in exchange for high taxes on crop yields.

Pindai is a province in [[Slokais Islands]], a combined city-state with 1,413,749 people. Pindai Province was founded in 1927 and named for the historical [[Pindai State]], a pre-colonial empire. Pindai is one of the most historic provinces with many historical sites as well as the center of modern Slokais with several major companies headquartered in the province. Additionally, Pindai is considered the center of the Minjian faith in Slokais with the High Ardent Conclave in the city.
==History==
The area that became Pindai has long been a center of trade and commerce with Pre-Medieval kingdoms establishing trading posts, the largest of these being the Janghara State which built Jangharama just to the north of modern-day Pindai. Around the year 800, a fleet of Minjian reached Janghara and were initially welcomed, however, when relations soured the settlers were forced to return to the High Conclave with a message of rejection. In response, Jangharama was undermined from the inside as members of the high class were converted to Minjian, and by 940, the King of Janghara was a Minjian faithful himself. This led to a civil war in the 950s between loyalists to the traditional Animist and spiritual ideology and the Minjian. It's estimated somewhere around 250,000 died in the [[Great War of Faith]]{{efn|Also known as the Pindai War or The Great Janghara Collapse}} which lasted until the founding of Pindai itself in 1037.
==Government and Politics==
Pindai operates as both a city and a province leading to a unique provincial government. Citizens of Pindai elect a governor every 4 years and a Senate and Assembly in proportional voting, these bodies are responsible for the management of transport, highways, and ports. However most services are managed by the Mayor's Office and City Council, these are both elected by district which corresponds to the 14 wards and 64 communities. Pindai is politically dominated by the Centrist Party which had traditionally been the party of the Minjian faithful. However, in recent years the Pindai People's Party (PPP) and the Conservative Party have taken votes away and won in certain city wards.
==Geography==
Pindai is located on the southern tip of Acadia Island, the central regions of the city are located along the flat Kamnayma valley which meets several smaller rivers in the Mardeji District. Eastern regions of the city are generally flatter and include many suburban community districts. Along Pindai's western regions are rolling hills which are foothills of the Acadia Mountains that stretch into the far northern, less developed areas of the Province. Pindai had historically and still is centrally located within Slokais sitting on the Straits of Guixiang which connects [[San Fernando]] and cites further down the San Fernando River with the rest of Hesperida. Several small islands belonging to Pindai and are located in the strait with many being utilized historically by various empires.
==Economy==
Pindai's major industries are commerce and goods production with significant finance and banking sectors. Pindai was traditionally a regional hub for trade and commerce bringing in raw materials from Acadia and nearby islands and exporting goods to the world due to the size and scale of the Port of Pindai. Today, the Port of Pindai is the second largest port in Slokais with only the Port of San Fernando seeing more traffic and daily volumes of goods{{efn|The Port of Pindai had the greatest number of international arrivals in Slokais in 2023}}. In addition, Pindai is considered the center of Mandarin language entertainment and business in Slokais with the Harvest Media Network (HM) and Clique, a social media network. Many large companies are located in the Lower City, a historical era also popular with tourists due to several attractions such as the Museum of Innovation. In addition, tourism related to the Minjian faith has created a substantial industry with the High Ardent Conclave Complex seeing the most visitors.
===Transportation===
Pindai is served by the Pindai Transport Authority (PTA) which serves 4 heavy rail lines and a ferry system and operates Pindai Central Station in cooperation with Slokasian National Rail which runs several commuter routes to suburban areas, in 2015 a high-speed line was launched between Pindai and San Luis named the Heart of Acadia Line, with planned expansions into areas of western Pindai. The largest airport in the province is Zhen Jin-George Best International Airport (ZJP) which is the 4th busiest in Slokais, in addition, some domestic flights fly into Kendou-Nothern Pindai Airport (KTP).
==Demographics==
Pindai has the second-highest percentage of Ren Slokasians with 60%, this is due to Pindai being a traditional destination of settlers from [[Laeral]] as well as traders and merchants. Mescaldo is the second largest ethnic group with 16%, many being from neighboring [[East Acadia]] or other nearby provinces. The third latest group is Costenioans at 10%, many being the descendants of the first missionaries and traders in the 1600s and are largely concentrated in wealthy areas of Pindai. In addition, Blancos, Ambonar, and other Indigenous have populations within Pindai.
===Relgion===
Pindai had historically been the center of the Minjian Faith, with the [[Pindai State]] being a Minjian-based trading empire. Today Pindai is home to the High Ardent Conclave of Slokais, considered one of most important sites in the Minjian faith as well as its center of organization within Slokais. This dominance of the religion has impacted the city's cultural and political landscape with Minjian festivals and traditions being important aspects of culture. For example, many businesses close on Sunday for worship a policy that has displeased Non-Minjians. Around 65% are Minjian faithful followed by Catholics at 12%, Atheists at 19%, and Ambonar Church of God at 3%
==Education==
In education, grade-level public education is provided by the Province and sub-divided with each ward providing the base funds for schools within their districts. There are also several public higher-education institutions such as The University of Pindai, Pindai Provincial College, and Pindai Technical University. In addition, there are major private institutions such as Covenant University, the largest Minjian university in Slokais and affiliated with the Covenant of Slokais Islands. Pindai is generally well-educated, with 37% holding a bachelor's degree or higher.

Pindai is a province in [[Slokais Islands]], a combined city-state with 1,413,749 people. Pindai Province was founded in 1927 and named for the historical [[Pindai State]], a pre-colonial empire. Pindai is one of the most historic provinces with many historical sites as well as the center of modern Slokais with several major companies headquartered in the province. Additionally, Pindai is considered the center of the Minjian faith in Slokais with the High Ardent Conclave in the city.
==History==
The area that became Pindai has long been a center of trade and commerce with Pre-Medieval kingdoms establishing trading posts, the largest of these being the Janghara State which built Jangharama just to the north of modern-day Pindai. Around the year 800, a fleet of Minjian reached Janghara and were initially welcomed, however, when relations soured the settlers were forced to return to the High Conclave with a message of rejection. In response, Jangharama was undermined from the inside as members of the high class were converted to Minjian, and by 940, the King of Janghara was a Minjian faithful himself. This led to a civil war in the 950s between loyalists to the traditional Animist and spiritual ideology and the Minjian. It's estimated somewhere around 250,000 died in the [[Great War of Faith]]{{efn|Also known as the Pindai War or The Great Janghara Collapse}} which lasted until the founding of Pindai itself in 1037.
==Government and Politics==
Pindai operates as both a city and a province leading to a unique provincial government. Citizens of Pindai elect a governor every 4 years and a Senate and Assembly in proportional voting, these bodies are responsible for the management of transport, highways, and ports. However most services are managed by the Mayor's Office and City Council, these are both elected by district which corresponds to the 14 wards and 64 communities. Pindai is politically dominated by the Centrist Party which had traditionally been the party of the Minjian faithful. However, in recent years the Pindai People's Party (PPP) and the Conservative Party have taken votes away and won in certain city wards.
==Geography==
Pindai is located on the southern tip of Acadia Island, the central regions of the city are located along the flat Kamnayma valley which meets several smaller rivers in the Mardeji District. Eastern regions of the city are generally flatter and include many suburban community districts. Along Pindai's western regions are rolling hills which are foothills of the Acadia Mountains that stretch into the far northern, less developed areas of the Province. Pindai had historically and still is centrally located within Slokais sitting on the Straits of Guixiang which connects [[San Fernando]] and cites further down the San Fernando River with the rest of Hesperida. Several small islands belonging to Pindai and are located in the strait with many being utilized historically by various empires.
==Economy==
Pindai's major industries are commerce and goods production with significant finance and banking sectors. Pindai was traditionally a regional hub for trade and commerce bringing in raw materials from Acadia and nearby islands and exporting goods to the world due to the size and scale of the Port of Pindai. Today, the Port of Pindai is the second largest port in Slokais with only the Port of San Fernando seeing more traffic and daily volumes of goods{{efn|The Port of Pindai had the greatest number of international arrivals in Slokais in 2023}}.

Ultimately, it was the Haesanite SIS who freed Vidal, who promise to grant him freedom if he fulfills one last mission. Showing Vidal video footage of members of his own Phoenix Bureau team coordinating with the remnants of [above criminal organization], the agents explain that the future of the IDU is at stake, and that only he can take down the looming threat. Vidal returns to his HQ in Laeral, with doubt in his own abilities, his team, and his mission, for what would be the biggest test of his life.

Pindai is a province in [[Slokais Islands]], a combined city-state with 1,413,749 people. Pindai Province was founded in 1927 and named for the historical [[Pindai State]], a pre-colonial empire. Pindai is one of the most historic provinces with many historical sites as well as the center of modern Slokais with several major companies headquartered in the province. Additionally, Pindai is considered the center of the Minjian faith in Slokais with the High Ardent Conclave in the city.
==History==
The area that became Pindai has long been a center of trade and commerce with Pre-Medieval kingdoms establishing trading posts, the largest of these being the Janghara State which built Jangharama just to the north of modern-day Pindai. Around the year 800, a fleet of Minjian reached Janghara and were initially welcomed, however, when relations soured the settlers were forced to return to the High Conclave with a message of rejection. In response, Jangharama was undermined from the inside as members of the high class were converted to Minjian, and by 940, the King of Janghara was a Minjian faithful himself. This led to a civil war in the 950s between loyalists to the traditional Animist and spiritual ideology and the Minjian. It's estimated somewhere around 250,000 died in the [[Great War of Faith]]{{efn|Also known as the Pindai War or The Great Janghara Collapse}} which lasted until the founding of Pindai itself in 1037.
==Government and Politics==
Pindai operates as both a city and a province leading to a unique provincial government. Citizens of Pindai elect a governor every 4 years and a Senate and Assembly in proportional voting, these bodies are responsible for the management of transport, highways, and ports. However most services are managed by the Mayor's Office and City Council, these are both elected by district which corresponds to the 14 wards and 64 communities. Pindai is politically dominated by the Centrist Party which had traditionally been the party of the Minjian faithful. However, in recent years the Pindai People's Party (PPP) and the Conservative Party have taken votes away and won in certain city wards.
==Geography==
Pindai is located on the southern tip of Acadia Island, the central regions of the city are located along the flat Kamnayma valley which meets several smaller rivers in the Mardeji District. Eastern regions of the city are generally flatter and include many suburban community districts. Along Pindai's western regions are rolling hills which are foothills of the Acadia Mountains that stretch into the far northern, less developed areas of the Province. Pindai had historically and still is centrally located within Slokais sitting on the Straits of Guixiang which connects [[San Fernando]] and cites further down the San Fernando River with the rest of Hesperida. Several small islands belonging to Pindai and are located in the strait with many being utilized historically by various empires.
==Economy==
Pindai's major industries are commerce and goods production with significant finance and banking sectors. Pindai was traditionally a regional hub for trade and commerce bringing in raw materials from Acadia and nearby islands and exporting goods to the world due to the size and scale of the Port of Pindai. Today, the Port of Pindai is the second largest port in Slokais with only the Port of San Fernando seeing more traffic and daily volumes of goods{{efn|The Port of Pindai had the greatest number of international arrivals in Slokais in 2023}}. In addition, Pindai is considered the center of Mandarin language entertainment and business in Slokais with the Harvest Media Network (HM) and Clique, a social media network. Many large companies are located in the Lower City, a historical era also popular with tourists due to several attractions such as the Museum of Innovation. In addition, tourism related to the Minjian faith has created a substantial industry with the High Ardent Conclave Complex seeing the most visitors.
==Demographics==
Pindai has the second-highest percentage of Ren Slokasians with 60%, this is due to Pindai being a traditional destination of settlers from [[Laeral]] as well as traders and merchants. Mescaldo is the second largest ethnic group with 16%, many being from neighboring [[East Acadia]] or other nearby provinces. The third latest group is Costenioans at 10%, many being the descendants of the first missionaries and traders in the 1600s and are largely concentrated in wealthy areas of Pindai. In addition, Blancos, Ambonar, and other Indigenous have populations within Pindai.
===Relgion===
Pindai had historically been the center of the Minjian Faith, with the [[Pindai State]] being a Minjian-based trading empire. Today Pindai is home to the High Ardent Conclave of Slokais, considered one of most important sites in the Minjian faith as well as its center of organization within Slokais. This dominance of the religion has impacted the city's cultural and political landscape with Minjian festivals and traditions being important aspects of culture. For example, many businesses close on Sunday for worship a policy that has displeased Non-Minjians. Around 65% are Minjian faithful followed by Catholics at 12%, Atheists at 19%, and Ambonar Church of God at 3%

The Federation of Slokais Islands is a federal semi-presidential republic located on the continent of [[Hesperida]]. Slokais is an archipelago of several major islands and numerous minor islands. A large amount of the population is bilingual or trilingual. It has a population of around 64,960,000 with the three main religions being Christianity, Islam, and Minjian. Slokais borders the [[Slokais Sea]] to the north, [[Aredoa]] and [[Mallancaland]] to the south, and [[Haesan]] to the northwest. The name Slokais comes from the Ambonar word for "place of islands". Slokais is renowned for its fishing and agricultural industries with a sizeable export of consumer goods and electronics.

==History==
===Early History===
The first humans may have visited the islands around 25,000-10,000 BCE. These people were the ancestors of today’s tribes. The name for this period of people is the Lumadang Period; most people were hunter-gatherers with few settlements. These people spoke a vast variety of languages and each developed a diverse range of practices. It's understood however these people migrated from mainland Eastern Hesperida. The next period was the Ocama Period between 10,000-1,000 BCE. The Ocama had a much more noticeable impact with the best example being the Ojiang Lake near Puerta Leon. The people of the Ocama Period buildings were made out of grass and mud bricks therefore thus they primarily lived near water. At Ojiang Lake, each building known as a Kineyara, each one housing around 10 people with their beds situated around a central fireplace. The Ojiang Lake people developed a written language that survives as the language spoken by Kna'raoh ethnic group.

The Ocama Period ended due to the arrival of the Makan who arrived by boat from the mainland. These people are the ancestors of modern tribes. They arrived from the land that is now Laeral and Haesan bringing cultural traditions and language with them. They began to split off onto different islands though those on San Fernando Island succeeded the most. They were known for their earthen temples, especially in Pinjiang Valley which was the center of their civilization. Around 500 BC was the explosion of rice farming mainly in the lowlands and valleys of the Central Islands. This was the end of Slokais’s early history as many texts began to be written around this time.

=== The Fall, Winter, and Summer Periods ===
This period began around 700 CE when the persecuted Haccan People arrived from somewhere in [[Hesperida]]. They brought with them a form of Minjian and a new form of writing. This also had their language, Haca which is still used today. They also began to build stone villages which helped protect the inhabitants from raids by other groups. Because of this, society bloomed and writing became common. Around this time Minjian built a temple on Mount Hijan in the San Fernando Mountains.

Around the year 1000 CE, a massive mini-cold period spread through the land destroying the system of farming and putting the country into civil war this area lasted from 1020-1070. This time lots of towns were destroyed and powerful clans sprang up. The most powerful clans destroyed the smaller ones. This period in history was called the Winter Period and after it ended one kingdom was formed called the Kakan Alliance which brought peace and unity and built a city called Kaijan on Puerta Sol Island. This city for hundreds of years became a trading hub for the world and started the Summer Period which was a time of great peace and knowledge. Also around this time, people began to make indigo and silk as well as herbs and spices. Kaija became a langer and eventually became a walled city. Walled cities began to pop up all over the islands. This was the start of the Medieval Period.

===The Medieval Period===
This area began when traders from the Nerian continent began to visit, spreading Islam as well as other religions. The cities of old began to build massive walls to protect themselves from attack. Around this time the Temple of Rock was rebuilt as well as the High Temple in Kaijan. Around this time raiders ruled the countryside meaning many people came to the cities. However, a group of people known as Hman knights were born. They protected small towns and fought against raiders. They also taught people in villages the martial art Macian which involved lots of using your surroundings to your advantage. In 1210 the book of Haii was written it spawned a group of Minjan radicals who believed it was a book of internal law. This new group was not liked by King Chian of Kaijan who began a crusade to rid this group from the map. Therefore they moved onto an island they call Haii Island. On San Fernando island an age of inventions began as a canal began connecting the San Fernando river and Toca bay it also spawned the city of Mahan, which became the capital of the fishing industry.

In 1510 explorers from the Costeno Empire landed on San Fernando Island and started on a settlement called San Fernando. They met the native Mahanese people who helped the Costeno settlers survive yet they later caused the demise of the Masan People. With that, a wave of the settlements was burned as Slokais descended into civil war. Many warlords fought for local power and a new warlord called Lord Yang-Chu took control and began to work with the Costeno to help destroy smaller groups. Therefore Lord Yigan took over and built a city called Ningbao on the land that would become San Jose. This ended a period of innovation and culture as the Hman Knights faded as well

===Modern Times===
In 1651 the Costenan settlers moved south to set up missions. They included missions at San Jose, San Fernando, and Castillo de Santa Villa. These missions were set up to spread Catholicism to the people whom they considered savages. Finally, in 1734, a group of bandits attacked San Jose because of this sent an army down from San Fernando to destroy Lord Yigan's army and burn Newswaca to the ground. However, when the Costenan arrived Lord Yigan and his forces had fled leaving the civilians behind to suffer the wrath of the Spanish. In the ensuing battle, an estimated 25,000 people were massacred and the city was burned to the ground. In the ensuing 10 years, the Spanish went around securing its power and looking for Lord Yigan who had fled to Puerta Sol Island. In 1759, a Costenan armada of over 30 warships and 10,000 troops attacked Kaijan. After it was captured a massive army of Slokaisians numbering 15,000 attacked and forced the invading force back to San Fernando.

The San Fernando Colony began to grow in size as San Fernando became the colony’s capital and hub which brought trade away from Kaijan. In the next few years, the island modernized as plantations began to harvest rice and sugarcane as well as indigo. The colonial government established the Slokaisian Fishing Company to regulate and control fish exports. Meanwhile, New Liverpool became the capital of the country with lots of people moving there, and by 1850 over 85,000 people lived there. In 1856 a colonial army managed to capture Kaijan ending all local control of the islands. The army also destroyed lots of the countryside to build factories as the Industrial Revolution began to change Slokais. This also created the idea of independence, especially among the workers who felt like they were being mistreated. This all came to a head in 1888 when a group of union workers left work and began to storm the Armory at San Jose. In response, the British army came in and massacred over 200 workers and so began the Slokaisian Revolution. Over the next 6 years, workers began to control cities and began to take areas street by street building by building. Finally, in 1894 John Acosta and William Wallace took control of San Fernando and forced the British to grant them independence. The Constitution was then drafted and so began the Republic of the Slokais Islands.

In the first election after independence, Howard Prince-Gonzalez of the Left Party became the nation's first president. He is considered the best president in Slokasian History as he established many agencies such as the Ministry of Defense the Ministry Of Education and many others. In 1898 however, stepped down saying that he had made the nation better to the best of his ability. His replacement was Henry Banks also of the Left Party who had formerly been the Prime Minister. He retained his position until 1912 when he was voted out in favor of by [[Alexander Lin]] of the Center Party. Lin was the first Ren president of Slokais when elected.

While he was in office Lin set a series of sweeping reforms including giving women the right to vote, and social security, and setting in place local governance. However, after a conspiracy was discovered in 1922, Lin lost much of his popular and political support. In 1924, David Livingstone of the Conservative Party was elected. Livingstone encouraged industrial development and railroad construction by any means. Livingstone also reduced the power of the Prime Minister and took it upon himself to modernize the country. However, Livingstone was assassinated in 1938 by a left-wing radical. The position of President was left vacant for a few months, although Howard Remenez of the Left Party was elected in the 1938 Election. Remenez imbraced social-democratic policy and guided Slokais into a regional power. Juan Costa of the National Reform Party, defeated Remenez in 1950, largely on a populist, isolationist platform. Costa created National Reformism, an ideology calling for a syndicalist and autocratic government. Costa used autocratic methods to remain in power, with the Reformist Brigade enforcing his policy. In 1961, [[Juan Costa]] entered Slokais into the [[Great War]]. As a result, Slokais quickly developed its military and weapons industry. In 1963, Slokais invaded [[Haesan]] eventually overwhelming the government with the support of [[Darya]]. Internally, however, various rebel groups rose up leading to a brutal civil war. These groups created the Federation Army with military support coming from the Coalition of Democratic Forces. In 1966, a combined force invaded Slokais with the Federation Army taking [[New Liverpool]] in 1967.

===Post-War===
After the war, the first president of the new federation was Howard Xiang of the Conservative Party who was popular as he lowered taxes and boosted the economy for many years. Yet in 1984 he was voted out in favor of Joseph Ocsta who was a popular younger Left Party who created many welfares as well as Road and Transit plans as well as luring business to the Islands. However, his more left-leaning views split the party and allowed the Conservative Party to gain control in the elections of 1988 and elected Pablo Smith the first mixed president of Slokais. However, he was well-liked as he kept the more radical Conservatives under control until 1994 when the party instead picked Brooke Wellesley, the first female president who ended up winning. But the Process split the party slowly and the by-election of 2000 created utter chaos within the country leading to mass protests. Finally, however, the dust settled and Sean Khan won as the leader of the Centrist Party and was very back and forth on issues but was a strong environmentalist and helped give funding to preserve many historical areas. However, in 2007 armed Rebels took over parts of Kaijan Island and created the New Kajian Republic. Sean Khan’s response however was bad and he was voted out in 2008.

He was replaced with George Oliver of the Conservatives who served in the army and ended the war by 2011. However, in 2014 he was replaced by Joseph Zhang of the Centrist Party. However, Joseph Chavez took control from 2016 to 2018 as a Left Party Member he lost in 2018 and his new party the National Alliance Party controlled of the Legislature. In late 2020, the Kaijan Insurgency took some of the countries leading to a brief civil war in Kaijan. After his win in the 2020 Elections, Joseph Chavez dealt with several crises at home and abroad. However, he lost in 2022 due to the political resurgence of Brooke Weasley. Since taking office Weasley has re-started some expansionist policies as the country became involved in [[Second Roucourtain Civil War]].

==Geography==
Slokais is made up of over 500 islands. However, only 239 have people on them, and of these, only 115 have settlements on them. Most of the population lives on Kaijan and San Fernando Islands while other islands and less populated Mountains are key features on both islands as the mountains are cut through by river valleys, which is where most people live in Slokais.

===Departments Provinces and Townships===
There are 24 Provinces and 307 Townships. The largest province by population is New Liverpool with 5.5 million while the smallest is Nothern Islands with 350,000.

===Climate and Topography===
The climate of San Fernando Island is a humid subtropical climate. This is uniform across most of the country except Kaijan Island, which has a tropical monsoon climate. In contrast, the Northern islands have a more temperate climate. The Highest point in Slokais is [[Mt Silverado]] at a height of 12,789 feet or 3898 meters. While the lowest point is at Lake Lugana which is swamp-like at -7 feet below sea level. Because Slokais is a mountainous country there are many hot springs as well as volcanos mainly in the Blancos Mountains on Kaijan. There have also been many earthquakes as the islands are on the convergence of two tectonic plates. The worst earthquake was in 1977 an earthquake 6.8 on the Richter scale. The terrain of most islands is split into two parts: the mountains of the central island and grasslands and river valleys cutting through the mountains. The largest ranges are the San Fernando Mountains, Blancos Mountains, and the Western Mountains. The Southernmost point of Slokais is Mancibangio Island which is a small island with a lighthouse and small plaque 40 miles south of Kaijan. The Northernmost point of Slokais however is Vereal Point in Fa'away Islands

===Flora and Fauna===
The most common type of tree is the Slokaisan Cypress and the San Fernando Fir at higher elevations. Bird-wise the most notable bird is the Slokaisian thrush which is also the national bird and is very well protected. However one can not forget the national animal, the Red Mountain Bear which is known to be found in forests at high elevations. All of this flora and fauna are found in one of Slokais Islands' many National Parks. There are in total 31 of them scattered across the country. The system was founded in 1992 but expanded by President Sean Khan in the early 2000s. For example, some of the smaller islands are almost 100% protected land. It's starting to become an issue of people getting lost in these natural areas. So in 2016, the Forest and Mountain Service were formed to help stop this issue from happening.

===Food===
The food of the Slokais Islands is inspired by Slokasian which has more seafood and spices to English food which is more focused on grains and soups. The most popular food in Slokais is Cook Up, which is a lot of meat and seafood mixed together with spices and then eaten with rice or noodles. They are usually large and are shared between groups of people. However, a popular snack is Tea Balls, which are tea leaves mixed with nutmeg and fruit like rambutan, mangos, or melon all inside small balls of dough. A popular drink is Venta, which is coffee mixed with a mixture of fruit and sweetened tea, it can be served hot or cold and is served all year round. A popular vegetable dish is Kanman which is carrot, onion, or any other local vegetables mixed into a soup mix the served with noodles. A more fancy dish is Vencinene steak, which is topped with sauce and served with bread. Speaking of bread, the local bread is called Malo bread and is very soft and chewy and is used as a side or to hold meats. Food in Slokais is meant to incorporate whatever is available or local so these dishes can change by region or island. For a Slokaisan, food is to be eaten with others even if you do not know them.

== Culture==
===Religion and Race===
Religion plays a somewhat important part in life in Slokais Islands for those who practice it. of the 41% of people that affiliate themselves with Christianity and about 65% of those are Roman Catholics due to the influences of Costeno though they are not as socially conservative as other Catholics due to the prevalence of the Virgin Mary. 25% is Protestant the most famous place of worship the Church of St Willaim of Port Lee had been active since 1803. The other 10% is various other sects. Atheism and general casual attitudes towards religion have contributed to a greater separation of religious matters from government, for example, Sean Khan is a known atheist. Islam had existed in Slokais since the 1400s, currently, they live mostly in Kaijan but there are sizeable populations found in cities, their blend of social conservativism but acceptance of left-leaning economic values had made Muslim Union a key part of the government. The Minjian Fath had existed in Slokais Islands since the 700s, originally from the Hesperidan Mainland mostly Ren practiced the Minjian Fath in various temples across the country. Zongogism is new to Slokais Islands is a very diverse ethnic base and is popular among the well-educated and religious Slokaisians. The largest "other" faith is Judialism at 3.1% of the population with most Jews being of Blancos origin.

For a long time, Ren was the largest racial group however that has decreased as both Mixed and Kaiajanese are the largest growing racial groups. In a few years, the amount of young people has grown as the number of new immigrants from other nations has grown mainly from Hesperida. These populations are included under the current racial groups for example those from [[Lauchenoiria]] are considered Costeno and those from [[Lao Sansong]] are considered Ren. However, the largest group considered under the category other is self-identified Ahandrans who make up about 2.1% of the population.

===Social Issues===
People in Slokais Islands are somewhat more socially conservative than much of the democratic world, as religion still has an impact on social values. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2014 by the Zhang administration by a majority vote in the House. It is also illegal to discriminate based on gender, race or sexuality since 2021. Non-medical uses of marijuana are illegal nationwide but some provinces have passed provisions, and medical use has been legal since 2015. Abortion was long opposed by the Catholic Church and it was not made legal nationwide until 2005. Firearms have long been part of local culture and because of this guns are permitted for all hunting purposes to be used for security, one must pass a safety test and must get a doctor's approval before buying handheld weapons, all other weapons can not be bought per the 2006 Firearms Use Act.
===Art===
Traditionally much of the art in Slokais was designed for religious or ceremonial purposes. For example, one of the earliest examples of art was a series of murals in East Xiang calling for a bountiful harvest made around 5,000 BCE. Clay is a common material in much of traditional pottery although areas in Victoria Province and Kaijan utilized a hardy mixture of stone and shell deposits. Upon the arrival of Minjian settlers around 750 CE, the styles of traditional Laerallian art began to influence the style of work. This development even influenced non-Minjian art in the types of materials used. Upon the arrival of Costeno in the 1500s, Slokaisian Art was becoming distant for its use of vibrant colors and natural materials. These styles influenced Costenonian art and many paintings of the area feature distinct vibrancy not found in other colonies. Art, classical and modern is mainly on display in the Museum of Classical Culture and History.

===Sport===
The nation has long been active in many sports but mainly Football(Soccer) and Basketball as well as many water sports such as polo and swimming. In almost every neighborhood you can find pickup football and basketball games. The country has a pro football league with the [[Slokasian Premier League]] as well as lower divisions as well as a pro basketball league with the Slokais Basketball League. A sport that is local to only Slokais is Drywall Ball, invented in the 70s at a middle school gym the game has grown a lot and there is now a pro league, the [[Grand Drywall Ball League]] or the DBL. The game is played between two large walls each about 20-30 feet high. There are two teams of about 15 players in 3 lines, the Attacking Line, the Grand Line, and Final Line. The goal is to get the ball to touch the other wall. However, you can not cross into the opposing side and you must serve it like in volleyball. You can pick it up from the ground by throwing it up from below.

==Govermeant==
The Government structure has 3 main branches, the executive branch which includes the President and the [[Cabinet of Slokais]] and other officials as well as the [[Tribal Counil|Tribal Council of Slokais]]. The legislative branch includes the [[Slokasian Legislature]] with 643 members elected by party list every 2 years. And finally the [[Supreme Court of Slokais]] for the judicial branch. The current President is [[Brooke Weasley]] and the Prime Minister [[Jospeh Chavez]]. Currently, elections occur every 4 years, with the ability to declare an election as soon as 2 years with a vote within the [[Slokasian Legislature]].
===Constitution===
The Constitution of the Slokais Islands has been changed twice. The first one from 1894 included a section about the government of the Slokais Islands. However back then the powers of the President were increased above many other figures, also 11 amendments were added later ranging from women voting rights to changes regarding civil rights. However, after the [[Great War]] in 1971, the new constitution changed the powers of mainly the president and set up checks and balances for the country, and make amendments easier to enact. Since 1971 there have been 12 Amendments ranging from getting rid of term limits, to religious and personal freedoms amendments.
===Major Parties===
The major parties are the Center-left [[National Alliance (Slokais)|National Alliance]] and the [[Conservative Party of Slokais]] as well as the Centrist, Green, and New Right parties. From 1891 through the 90s the major parties were [[The Left Party of Slokais]] and the Conservatives with breaks during the rule of John Costa when the largest party was the National Reform Party. However, in the 90s the parties began to and by 2000 it was a mess with the Green Party coming on top and the Centrist Party not far behind, The parties kept splitting apart and in 2018 the new National Alliance absorbed the Left Party. In 2020 the Conservatives took a major hit in support before rebounding in the 2022 Election. Some places have local parties like Muslim Union and the KPP in Kaijan or Green and Blue in Eastern Isles.
==Miltary==
The military took root in the Revolutionary Army in 1891 though the military was shrunk and then grew again in the 60s under Juan Costa. After the Civil War, the remnants of the armies came together and for a few years the military was large, however, the military was decreased and funding moved to other places. However, the military today is still a sizeable force and has a very good navy and coast guard.
===Army===
The Army is made up of 2 armies the Domestic Army and the Overseas Army. The Domestic Army is less used and has only been used in the Kaijan Wars. The Overseas Army has seen more use and often moves around it was used in the [[Second Lauchenoirian Civil War]]. They are made each made of armored divisions that used Patton Tanks as well as M109 Howitzers as well as older models of the AH Super Cobra Helicopter. The Field Division is made mostly of assault vehicles and infantry, they also use weaponry from larger military such as LOM
as well as many Humvves are used. Both types use helicopters for ariel and transport support.
==Economy==
Today Slokais has a mixed economy with state involvement and foreign trade. In keeping with this idea, some large industrial companies are state-owned. The currency of Slokais is the Markon. The biggest source of income is still the fishing industry, mostly through the [[United Fishery Union]] though there is a transition towards tech and service jobs. Slokais is a hub for computing, telecommunications, and data management. These types of jobs are found in the San Fernando Valley, with San Jose, being at its center. Another industry is farming, with rice and many types of fruits and vegetables. The average income is $27,000 Sancatarian Marks or $200,000 Slokais Islands Marks.

[[Slokais Islands]] is subdivided into 24 states and one capital region. Each province maintains its own legislature and regulates its own laws as well as social services within the province. Provinces receive funds per person from the federal government based on income, and the provinces give funds to the local townships. Of the 25 provinces, 17 were created upon inception with the most recent being Eastern Isles in 1973. Each province elects a governor either every 4 or 2 years, with most provinces electing governors every 4 years. Although each province has its own flag, it's mandated by law that each flag includes a star as recognition to the national government.
