The Kingdom of Cadair, simply called Cadair, is a autocratic monarchy in the International Democratic Union. Known for being an environmentally stunning nation with a short history, Cadair has had a small yet noteworthy impact on global history. They have diplomatic ties with many nations and are considered to be peaceful and diplomatic, many times being the leading delegate of many treaties, trade deals, and peace talks, most notably perhaps being the Treviso Nuclear Treaty with delegates of Zamastan in 1992 and the signing of the Treaty of Mönusÿnthys 2018-9B in 2018.

Etmology

Cadair was made to be the fortress of the Cymry people, so the word for fortress, Cadair, was given to the Kingdom upon its founding in 1983.

History

Early History

The Cymry people have lived in Lloegr for thousands of years, before the Prydain Tribes attacked in the 5th century AD. The Prydainians drove the Cymry across the bay and forced them to remain there. The Cymry people have tried to break free on several occasions but were never been able to get completely away from the Prydainians.

War for Cymry Independence

The age of democracy brought no comfort to the Cymry, as even the democratic system discriminated against them. The Cymry tried to break free in 1963 when two Welsh militias, the Byddin Rhyddid Cymru (Free Cymry Army) and the Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru (Movement for the Defense of Cymry), formed against the Republic of Prydainia, but both were destroyed by 1969. While disappointed with the results, the Welsh were determined to win their freedom. On 4 February, 1983 the Y Fyddin Annibyniaeth Gymreig (Army of Cymry Independence or ACI) was founded by a small group of revolutionaries , headed by Gerallt Morgan. It took several months but the ACI was armed and mobilized using guerrilla tactics to organize a quick surrender by Prydania. The War for Cymry Independence officially ended on 23 September, 1983 with the signing of the Rhyddid Treaty, which legalized the formation of a sovereign Cymry nation and was supposed to protect them from war with Prydania. Due to distrust of Prydania, the ACI leadership council met to quickly organize the new Cymry nation. The council refused to keep the name the British had stolen from them, and thus adopted the name Cadair, as the nation would be a fortress for all Cymry people, and the traditional name Cymry was given to the people. Lastly, the council named Gerallt Morgan as ruler of the nation, and gave him the title of Mab Darogan.

Prydainian Conflicts

Shortly after the founding of Cadair as a sovereign nation, the Republic of Prydainia tried to take back that which they lost. They would wage 2 more wars with Cadair over the next 23 years, each one costing them dearly.

Prydainian Conflict

The Prydainian Conflict began on 9 December, 1983. The Republic of Prydainia moved soldiers into Ruthin, a city clearly given to Cadair in the Rhyddid Treaty. This was seen as an act of war and Mab Darogan Gerallt met the challenge by taking military bases in Carmarthen and Pontypridd, which Prydania controlled. On 4 January, 1984, Prydainian militants launched mortars into Cardiff and Machynlleth, causing twelve civilian deaths, four military deaths and ninety-seven injuries. On 18 January, 1984, President Cassious Castovia of Zamastan threatened to declare war on the Republic of Prydainia if they didn't honor the Rhyddid Treaty. Thus the Prydainian Conflict ended.

Geography

Cadair has a varied geography with strong contrasts. Cadair is an island nation completely surrounded by water. The island was originally a small volcano belt, which produced the Island of Cadair. The volcanoes are no longer active, but still effect the daily life of the Cymry. The south-west of Cadair is occupied by the Snowdoni Mountains, the very volcanoes that formed the island. .

The island then flattens into wide, flat costal areas, where most of the population and fauna lives.

Climate

Due to it's location on the equator, Cadair has very little variation in weather, typically warm and rainy, which provides plenty of water to the native fauna. Snow can occasionally be seen on the mountain peaks, but never on the coatlands.

Religion

The Kingdom of Cadair has no official religion, due to Article 13 of Hawl I Rym. Despite having no official religion, the vast majority of people belong to one of two religions. 53% of the population practice Cadwaladr, 39% practice some form of Christianity, 5% are atheist and 3% practice other religions.

Foreign Relations and Military

Even in it's short history Cadair has had a impact on international diplomacy. As a young, low population nation, war is a huge threat to Cadair, so Gerallt Morgan, 1st Mab Darogan, tried to make Cadair a safe place for communication between nations, by declaring Cadair a pacifist nation and a willing mediator for all international disputes. To further this, Gerallt Morgan had the Heddwch Tower built as a palace of international diplomacy. In a continuation of his pacifist plan, Gerallt Morgan formally disbanded the army and navy. He left the air force in place to prevent attacks on Cadair, but greatly lowered their numbers in funding.

In 2015, Mab Darogan passed the Cadair Security Act, which gave Cadair the ability to mobilize 10,000 ground troops, 90 aircraft, and 20 ships within 36 hours, and double that number in a week. It also gave police force military equipment in the case of invasion.

Treaties

Cadair was a key mediator in the Treviso Nuclear Treaty

Economy

Cadair is a well focused capitalist economy, focusing primarily on agriculture, steel production and manufacturing.
