History

Ancient Daau

Artifacts dating back to 131 suggest Daau was inhabited by Yewlang prisoners of war as the ancient Dauian soil was deemed infertile by the Yewlang and the Xin Emperor would send his troops with prisoners to work on the land there to develoop for future generations to inhabit. The land was called Fangshan by local Yewlangese guards due to its geographical location and the lack of proper natural resources.

Yewlang colonization

During the period of escalating population growth and societal evolution in Fangshan, apprehensions within the Yewlang government regarding potential uprisings among the local populace heightened. Fearing insurrections fueled by the growing discontent and aspirations for independence, especially amidst the backdrop of ongoing revolts in the region, the Yewlang authorities perceived the Fangshanese as a potential threat to the conservative Yewlang governance.In a bid to preempt any dissent and solidify control over the territory, the Yewlang military orchestrated an invasion of Fangshan, effectively annexing the region and integrating it into the official dominion of Yewlang by 41 AD. Under the firm grip of Yewlang rule and subjected to rigorous cultural re-education initiatives enforced by Yewlang officials, the distinctive traditions of Fangshan gradually faced erasure, relegated to obscurity by the concerted efforts of the governing regime.

With a strategic eye on economic gains, the Yewlang administration strategically transformed Fangshan into a pivotal trading port, leveraging its geographic advantages for commercial pursuits. Seeking to maximize profits from the industrious Fangshan population, Yewlang imposed stringent economic policies aimed at extracting wealth from the working-class citizens. Despite aspirations to cultivate a thriving livestock industry in Fangshan, the region's infertile soil and the exorbitant costs associated with livestock upkeep thwarted such endeavors. Consequently, Fangshan relied heavily on food imports facilitated through the bustling Port of Xialanjian, distinguishing the city as a prosperous hub within the realm of Yewlang, renowned for its opulence and economic prosperity derived from maritime trade activities.

In the historical context of Fangshan, the burgeoning influence of Yewlang catalyzed a gradual assimilation of Yewlangese culture among the local populace. This symbiotic relationship between the residents of Fangshan and the burgeoning Yewlang culture not only fostered cultural exchange but also played a pivotal role in propelling advancements in Yewlangese technology. The strategic significance of Fangshan as a prominent port facilitated vibrant trade activities, serving as a bustling hub where commercial transactions thrived and diverse communities converged, nurturing an environment conducive to the cross-pollination of ideas and innovation.

The Liberation War

As insurgency was on the rise near the end of the Yewlang Dynasty, people of the Fangshan territory started to fend for its own against other rising insurgency agents looking to infiltrate the nation, the Fangshan people would form their own partizan forces against foreign threats and fought for their freedom in the Liberation War against the Xinchukang forces looking to take over Yewlang and co. The Fangshan people sucessfully defeated a band of Xinchukang forces and defended the region with their lives as they liberated themselves from a fallen Yewlang rule. Along with Fangshan, Juxia and Chhurti would form the Xanjiao in 1734, leading to a new dawn following the dark shadow of Yewlang rule and colonization.

Red Sun Republic

A power struggle between the original Xanjiao government and rising socialist party would mean that a coup ensued in 1923 following the Xanjiao unification with the Xanjiao Socialist party taking over the government by storm with aid of the Xanjiao army, turning Xanjiao into the Socialist Republic of Sanjiao. As the new National Assembly was formed due to the switch of a government, a new president was voted in, being the then party leader Xi Yen Kang. Under Yen Kang's brutal regime, Daau's economy entered its golden age as workers were forced to work till dawn at times to achieve maximum profit for the nation's economy and development. The nation was nicknamed the Red Sun Republic by many foreigners due to the mass amount of political propaganda in the cities with a red sun. The nation's bustling economy and workforce made Daau a rising global power under Yen Kang's rule and saw the nation transform from an open democracy into a hermit state of socialism. The harsh conditions and human rights abuse caught the eye of many intermicronational media and nations, raising concerns about Daau and its people.

Alongside forcing his people to work and join the army, Yen Kang also ordered the citizens of Daau to eradicate all former knowledge of Xanjiao and famously burned the many books in the Xanjiao Historical Library in 1937. He barred female students from studying politics and encouraged them to join the workforce to aid the country in its development. Yen Kang's most famous act of was him forcing his army to build himself multiple mansions around Xanjiao and a massive statue of him was built in the Xujiang canyon.

There were attempts of insurgency within the nation to free its people from the harsh rule of Xi Yen Kang but to no avail. His son Xi Kim Bing took over after Yen Kang's eventual death in 1970 aged 85. Kim Bing ended his father's rule of mass turanny and harsh regime following his takeover of the country. Women were allowed to take part in poltical activites slowly and Xanjiao society and economy soon shifted after the discovery of natural gases and oil in the city of Xialanjian. As a result of this the need for industrial workforce slowly decreased and led to a new start for Xanjiao. The nation was renamed to Daer by Xi Kim Bing and was soon translated into the common tongue to become what we know as Daau today. The intermicrolization of Daau soon began with multiple name changes in the country and a fusion of Matabese and Xanjiao culture created modern day Daau.

Present

In contemporary times, Daau has embarked on a transformative journey, diverging from the traditional Yen Kang system and embracing a fresh era under a new leadership that heralds the dawn of a novel dynasty. Spearheading this progressive shift is the visionary President Xi Bing Jin, whose governance has catalyzed a shift in Daau's trajectory. Under President Xi Bing Jin's leadership, Daau has undergone a remarkable evolution, marked by a newfound openness to global engagement and a concerted effort to integrate with the international community. This shift has seen Daau extend invitations to numerous international organizations, granting them the opportunity to establish missions within its borders and partake in global trade networks, thereby propelling Daau into the modern era.

Driven by a fervent desire to modernize and revitalize its economy, Daau has embarked on a robust industrial development agenda, channeling significant investments into enhancing its infrastructure. This strategic focus aims to realize the long-cherished aspirations of Daau's founding settlers by fostering a dynamic and thriving nation characterized by prosperity and unity.

In the wake of President Xi Bing Jin's ascendancy, Daau has witnessed a renaissance in its economic landscape, achieving notable success across various industries and sectors. This resurgence has not only elevated Daau's standing but has also engendered a newfound respect and admiration on the global stage. Daau's enhanced reputation is underscored by its proactive engagement with foreign nations, exemplified by the establishment of multiple diplomatic missions overseas and the cultivation of robust international partnerships spanning the globe. As Daau forges ahead on its path of progress and prosperity, the nation's commitment to fostering international cooperation and advancing its stature on the world stage stands as a testament to its unwavering dedication to realizing a future characterized by harmony, prosperity, and global interconnectedness.

Dauian reduction

Following the death of Kim Dong Won, the nation fell into a state of mourning and also a state of protests against the current government. The culprit was claimed to be Florian to calm the situation down and was further investigated to be revealed that the culprit was indeed a Florian but a Dauian by Florian descent who holds a Florian passport. The nation fell into a state of peril as mass protests broke out all over the nation. City-states Jurong and Daas would propose to become free states under The Green to maximize their chances of survival.

Matabese Civil War

The Matabese Civil War was the turning point for Dauian-Matabese relations due to the failing Matabese ecoomy and recent anti-Matabese policies being passed in the People's National Assembly causing civil outrage and ultimately sparking a civil revolt in the region. The civil war lasted over a year with Basagrande militant group Matabese Liberation Arms spearheading the local rebel force. The 7th and 8th Resimen di Daau were deployed in action alongside the Matabese Peacekeeping Forces. The war saw a total of 5,000 battle-related casualties with a further 300 civilian deaths over battlefields. A total of 30,000 were displaced due to the heavy fighting in the Basagrande region. The Republic of North Mataba was formed 6 months in the war before being annihilated following the surrender and assasination of paramount coup leader Tun Ismail Razaqhuiddin. The civil war ended in a Dauian-Matabese victory over the Liberation Front. The war sparked the second amendment of the Matabese Autonomy bill which forced Basagrande into being a direct district under Daau and stripping it of its Special Administrative Region rights, the amendment also saw the Dauian fist gripping tighter on Mataba as a Special Administrative Region and imposed further economic and human rights restrictions, an example may be that if a Matabese citizen was to host a protest, it would need to be approved by the government. The amendment also stripped Mataba of the rights to gain freedom of movement within Daau and its ally nation Banh Nam, meaning people who solely hold Matabese passports will be required to apply for a Dauian entry/exit ID card as part of the new bill.
