Adinan History: Difference between revisions

Due to the failure of the reformation of Vitelia to revive Antigua, Matanic- a previously little contacted inhabitant of Tabago,- proposed to Kalypso a radical idea.: Thethe formation of a new nation (Adina) which would be based on democratic ideas and the movement of the capital to Matanic's commune in Tabago. Matanic and Kalypso agreed that the monarch should have no power in this new state and should be a cultural and religious leader. Kalypso promised to do this after the transition period as he felt the traditionalist [[Indoja]] would not accept this new move. Matanic proposed the name change to Adina to show a fresh start and to shed the bad reputation of Vitelia. Matanic ended a treaty with Vinland that required Antigua to pay 15d to Vinland per week for some old Vitelian territory and also returned the island of Rowa to [[Maltovia]] as he felt this would spread the nation too thinly. He officially dissolved the Reformed Vitelia in a reddit post. This was less than a month after the reformation.

During this period the first Adina-[[Astonia]] conflict took place due to [[SinjoroJoCrafter]]'s attempt to secede from the nation illegally<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/cb2m9b/astonia_joins_adina/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/cefn18/astonia_leaves_adina/</ref>. This led to decisive action to be taken by Matanic. He organized an expedition with SamuelWizard and Evan([[Incentives]]) to surprise SinjoroJoCrafter. He was pearled by SamuelWizard. As a result Astonia was annexed back into Arrelani with all groups being ceded. There was fear of [[New Sovia|Sovian]] involvement in this but the situation was explained and relations between Sovia and Adina warmed, eventually leading to the marriage of Matanic to [[Pirater]].

Following the conclusion of the Adinan Wars of Sovereignty, a new Central Territory of Multinesia was annexed and settled permanentlyfor some time by [[Cortwade]]. A Casino Resort was finished on the 10th of August.

Population continued to grow steadily during this period. During this period the [[Entranan Republic]] came under direct suzerainty from Adina<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/cmhcx0/the_entranan_republic_joins_adina/</ref>- the move was criticised at the time because it appeared to have inadequate justification prior, though the Entranans had in fact agreed some arrangement after all.

The separatist leader had been wanted in Adina for some time. Withand with the [[Varkonia|Varkonian]] pearl expired- and with an extradition request ignored, the mission to findcatching him became morehigher urgentpriority. Upon guarantees from the previous Government of fair trial and leniency, he gave himself up to authorities after a failed guerrilla campaign targeting frontier agriculture primarily. [[ImperatorMendes]] was the presiding judge for the case.

A large team from Adina set out to compete in the [[Fourth Olympics|Augustan Olympics]]- booking out the penthouse in the Prism Hotel. The team performed extremely well, being the top achieving team at the Olympics.

Throughout Adinan history, from when its government began to evolve from proto direct democracy, the monarchy attempted to add its view to the course of politics. The original state of the monarchy was a religious seerdom originating in Antigua. Upon the success of Matanic’s town of Al-Adina, a new capital was established, and so was the Federation of Adina. The original ''status quo'' and social contract (for the monarchy was conspicuously absent from constitutional documents) was that the monarchy remain a politically neutral, religious institution as it had always done so. By virtue of discord quirks, the monarch Kalipso I had always had access to sensitive channels, and fairly innocently voiced an opinion on the proceedings. This would be the least contentious period of the monarchy, as it seemed inconsequential. As the government was weak, notions that had always seemed more role-play or whimsical such as single-religion state, were in the backseat in comparison to the need to attract skilled individuals, leading to the official welcome of the Orthodox, who had been living some time prior to this, on the 16th of September.

The weight of the Black Fang Tribe- loyal to the monarch only and the Kodakane, began to spill into politics. During Incentives’ term they attempted to use their influence to have Kalipso crowned emperor which failed. Furthermore government resources were asked of, misallocated or even embezzled into projects such as the Royal Palace and a library that was never finished. On the 23rd of August, under the pretext of whether Adina should record its unwritten Indojic heritage, religious laws were passed (Imperator had narrowly avoided prosecution previously for treason over Incentives converting to [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodoxy]], due to the intercession of the sitting President Matanic). These laws would include real life topics, inexplicably, and created an atmosphere of fear that dissent would be treasonous. On one occasion the Black Fang were mistakenly set on the President for treason after a miscommunication about a political action. It would become apparent that despite the smoke and mirrors, the Black Fang hardly existed and the Kodakane was primarily a political front for Kalispo and Cocobeaa’s political ambitions- though at the time it was less apparent.

A deal to absorb [[Ashelor]] into Adina- on the basis of a largely beneficial agreement was sabotaged due to Kalipso’s unwillingness to compromise over religion. In the argument that descended, he asserted he could dissolve the civilian government whenever he wanted. Incentives finally resigned, realising his lack of autonomy, the second President to have done so on account of the monarchy. He would be the last to do so.

After the Republican victory, Imperator acted quickly to form a government, expanding it to its largest size yet, creating advisory roles of prosecutor, Master of Records, XP Commissar and Director of Infrastructure. Early on a route to Bloom was authorised and works began. As promised a constitutional convention was held on many issues, but primarily the monarchy. Between a choice of the Status Quo, Ceremonial Monarchy and a Full Republic, the votes tallied were 0:2:3- in fact 1:2:4 due to poll-masterPollmaster issues. This advisory poll gave a direction to further constitutional draftsmanship which was due to occur.

The Presidential Palace was a design made during the reign of Kalipso, occupying the majority of the Southern capital island. It was meant as a huge and prestigious work, however quickly attracted a negative reputation. Due to its immense and spurious costs, all presidents had avoided focusing on it, due towith more pressing concerns. As the capital grew and space became more limited, it became a less and less promising proposition. After much dithering, Imperator scrapped the project as representative of the old monarchist largess and waste that had characterised government spending. The funds from this decision are still in use to this day, however funded: the Southcliff developments, Court, Guardia Fort, the paving of sidewalks across the capital and multiple private buildings.

Furthemore, the fateful [[The Astonian Treaty|Astonian Lands Treaty]]<ref>[[The Astonian Treaty]] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Jghwe4S-svuSErZqSTmJcfXVU3Tl4SN81KTx-nqt0g</ref> would be signed to contain the perceived threatmilitarism of the [[Astonia|Astonian]] Emperor [[SinjoroJoCrafter]].

The creation of the [[Free City of Arlington]] and its cessation to Astonia<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/e00jq9/arlington_ceases_to_exist/</ref>, and his alleged involvements in instituting demands to the legitimate ruler of [[Astonia]], gave rise to a concern that Astonia would be the new Antigua for radicals under SinjoroJoCrafter’s unstated influence. Yet due to a hiatus from the game, it was impossible for Adinan authorities to pursue him. When he returned at last, he was still in Adinan territories and would attempt to flee via rail to ’his’ territory. An alert was sounded. It was widely expected that he had managed to successfully flee, but due to the tenacity of ImperatorMendes in pursuing him, the two were close, with a reserve division of the a Civil Guard (pamaxwell and matanic1107) lagging somewhat behind to provide support.

Eventually the two would enter personal combat, with Imperator winning the combat with not a single heart of damage. Proving all suspicions prior, SinjoroJoCrafter then collapsed the Astonian government, declaring himself Emperor- in violation of the Lands a Treaty- and Imperator POS in an attempt to bring reinforcements into what seemed would be a wider conflict with Adina over his criminality. These reinforcements never came, and he would be interned in Adina whilst he sat trial. An international tribunal would be convened to ascertain his guilt in violating the treaty. The conference convened against permapearl as a matter of principle and thought more on sanctions- eventually settling on four months; although SirFriendzone of Aurum decided to hold [[SinjoroJoCrafter]] permanentlyfor regardlessan indefinite period, him only being released nine months later due to the dereliction of SirFriendzone's vault.

On the 22nd, an admission of the weakness ofweak Astonian state came- its total collapse andgovernment dissolutioncollapsed<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/edsm0i/end_of_fifth_state_of_astonia/?</ref> to an international community widely expecting this to happen. Adina would be given all remaining Astonian lands, perhaps believing that Adina would provide a gentler occupation than the [[Imperial Truidence]] or other treaty signatories. Surveying of the lands would reveal the state[[Free City of [[Arlington]] was another front for an Astonian government-in-exile, vindicating this strain of thought.

The Don Republic- an inactive nation bordering the Adinan region of Crann Mor was integrated into Adina as a member state after the leader c45cd requested for Don to be integrated into Adina. The primary reasons for this was to increase security within Don and for Adina to help supply Don with materials to rebuild. Matanic, having known of the old Don Republic, noticed c45cd logging in and contacted him to learn more about Don's history. c45cd was shown around Adina and due to thethem similarboth ideologiesbeing between the two nationsrepublics and the friendly welcome he received in Adina, he proposed the integration, which was finalised on the 22nd of December.
