Original flag of Amokolia

The history of Amokolia from its origins to 1671 AN. The information on this page comes from old versions of the main page of Amokolia and Shirewiki.

Pre-Micras Era

First Nortonyears

Amokolia was originally founded in 1504 AN (May 12, 2005). After a turbulent start, Jacob Ter Hark became the new emperor. They elected a new president to Jess Heimer. he won unanimously against competitor Andrew DeMeester. But after five Norton years, the emperor turned out to have taken a hold of the treasury. He was banished from the country by the Republican Army. The people demanded that Austin Pafford be the king. The people were joyous and celebrated for a week.

The government by Austin II is seen as a good government. He did what the people wanted and divided the country into states:

  • The State of Larry was diagrammed into the cities, FT. Larry (now FT. Fardia) and Anunlandia (now Anun)
  • The State of Mishalan was made into these cities, Lalapaloza and Parislandlandia.

Furthermore Austin joined into one single army instead of the Republican and Royal Armies. But after two Norton years, he abdicated and went to live in the city of FT. Larry.

The reign of Queen McKenna was short. She made no laws and the people revolted. She founded a new province, called New Fardia. And she adopted a son, Austin III, who immediately took over the government as a result of the Supremo law.

"All male heirs to the throne take power unless no one is available then a female would be Instituted until a male is available" Supremo law Part 1. Austin never had a coronation because of his immediate takeover.

Dustin IV took the crown over from his adoptive mother HRH McKenna I. He demanded that there be no president and only he would rule. The people rebelled from him. His Propagandist Andrew DeMeester said that the president Jess Heimer said “I want no royals I wish they were all dead”. This was not true because Dustin and Jess never spoke about each other during that time. All the Royals thought it was true so they broke away and formed the Kingdom of Royalties. Then Fardia immediately declared war on the kingdom. Thus creating the Fardian Wars.

Fardian Wars

The Battle of Anuniaville The Army of Fardia moved onward to the Kingdom of Royalties taking over the city of Anuniaville. (now present day East Anun). The kingdom defended the rest of their country but failed. The mighty Fardians prevailed only to lose the next battle.

The battle of Londonvilleia The Fardians moved on to the capital of the kingdom with their drums and flutes playing the national anthem. Once they reached Londonvilleia the Royal Army had heard about it and barricaded Londonvillea then pounding the army with balls. This made the Army retreat.

The Victory at Parisialand After recovering from their humiliating defeat at Londonvilleia the Fardian Army went on to the city of Parisialand, capturing the land for Fardia. The land was then taken over to form the new Fardian state of East Mishalan.

Interbellum

Austin V and Jessica II co-ruled the land after the Fardian Wars. They were both appointed by the President. They were some of the best monarchs in Fardia some people said. They replaced the Supremo with “The Law of Fardia” it was very short and only read: “No murdering stealing or anything bad”

It did keep the nation together. The monarchs both retired and left the throne to Journee III and Caleb VI. As did their predecessors they co-ruled under the new law, there was nothing outlawing it. They issued this statement that split the nation: “Only the rich should be alwoed in Fardia so we can be a pure nation under God’s eyes”

Then Prime Minister Austin Pafford took all the Republican people of the nation although the president urged his people to stay. He formed the “Supreme Kingdom of Black-Schwartz”

The Fardian-Schwartz War

The King and President both hated the Supreme Kingdom of Black-Schwartz. They declared war and attacked the Schwartian capital of Luthersville. The King Austin I of Schwartz was taken to the Fardian prison called “The Eguah” (pronounced the E –GAH). He vowed to join with Fardia and create a new country. This country was called Amokolia, the name means “Land of much Chaos”.

After the unification of Schwartz and Fardia a new king of no bias was needed, so they chose the commoner Wyatt. He was crowned and reigned for two Nortonyears and issued this one law: “no more Rebellion”.

Austin took over after Wyatt retired. Austin IX didn’t issue any laws or decrees but held the nation together. The first elections were held in Amokolia; Austin IX won and had to abdicate the throne. He gave it over to former president Jess Heimer. He was titled HRM King Jess the Tenth, but First of Amokolia.

First Kingdom of Amokolia

King Jess X establish the constitution and brought Amokolia to Micras. The country obtained a claim on Benacia (9.4.0b) in 1523 AN (December 25, 2006). The territory included the Automatica Islands. In 1528 AN (May 7 or 9, 2007) Amokolia expanded its territory to the mainland of Benacia (10.2.0), the area called East-Vattnaland. It was only in 1527 AN that the idea was put forward to make Amokolia part of Shireroth. This idea was not implemented, for now. In 1529 AN (8 June 2007), Amokolia acquired land on the island of Leng (11.1). After many attempts at area expansion, in 1539 AN (24 or 25 April 2008), Amokolia acquired more territory (13.4.0), the addition of Oleslaad and Mishalan as provinces.

Absentia also appeared under the Shirerian flag on the same map. This area was a revival of the eponymous region of the historic Commonwealth of Puritania (6.3.0 - 6.6.2), despite the fact that this region was much more westerly, in the current northwest of Batavia and the west of the Storish Gascony. The Commonwealth of Puritania encompassed the territory of the new Absentia, which was then called the Principality of Saxony.

First Republic of Amokolia

In 1540 AN, Amokolia joined the newly formed Gralan Empire. The country did not stay long in Gralus, and opted to secede four years later, in 1544 AN. In the same year, Amokolia acquired the entire island of Leng (13.6.0).

The newly independent Amokolia sought closer ties with its neighbours, Ashkenatza and Tellia. The friendship culminated in the Benacian Conference between the three powers, wherein they divided the inner Benacian territory among themselves. Amokolia's territory was therefore greatly increased.

Ocian Amokolia

The new territories, having not had any government for over 100 years, were in dire need of modernization and infrastructure. The annexation cost the Amokolian government huge sums of money. In turn for the Ocian Federation offering to take on all of the Amokolian government's debts, the Amokolian government agreed to cede its sovereignty to Ocia in 1553 AN. This move was hugely unpopular among the Amokolian people, and a series of strikes and demonstrations occurred. Eventually, the Amokolian government (a regional government of Ocia) was more or less forced to declare itself independent, by organizing itself as the Amokolian Provisional Authority (APA). Ocia opposed the matter, and an armed conflict broke out between Ocian forces and the APA. APA diplomats amassed support from anti-Ocian governments abroad, especially with Ashkenatza who had a hostile relationship to Ocia.

Amokolian War

In 1556 AN, a full-scale war broke out. Antica, Babkha, Hamland and Shireroth joined Ashkenatza and the APA in driving out the Ocians from Amokolia by 1557 AN. Amokolia's independence was now a reality, but Amokolia's debt to Ashkenatza in the war was paid by cessions of large portions of Amokolia's western and eastern frontiers.

Second Republic of Amokolia

The independent government struggled once more with ruling its country and keeping order there. Because of this, the republic only existed for two Nortonyears.

Victorian Amokolia

In 1559 AN, a treaty was therefore signed between Jess and the Victorian Empire, causing Amokolia to become a part of the Victorian empire. Being part of Victoria gave Amokolia stability and much-needed development.

However, with mainland Victorian politics coming at an impassé in 1570 AN, Amokolians sought more home-rule once more. They believed that with swapping Victorian sovereignty for Elwynnese, Amokolia would have a greater autonomy. Accordingly, in 1572 AN, the Amokolian Midnight Declaration was announced by a near-unanimous vote of the Association of Amokolian Municipalities. The Declaration called for greater Amokolian home-rule, an end to Victorian sovereignty, and a merger with Elwynn.

Elwynnese Amokolia

Elwynn supported the Midnight Declaration and managed to achieve both Victorian and international recognition of Elwynnese annexation of Amokolia in 1574 AN, albeit at a price: A significant area of Southern Mishalan had to be ceded to Ashkenatza.

Amokolia remained wholely within Elwynn until 1600 AN, when Elwynn reunited with Shireroth. East Amokolia remained in Elwynn, while Oleslaad, Leng and the Islands went to the Amokolian Federation, a protectorate state of Natopia. The protectorate state vacated most of its territory within the next years, keeping only Leng for a while, until the destruction of that island. Elwynn subsequently annexed the Vattnaland and Oleslaad areas of Amokolia.

In 1618 AN, the Amokolian Kingdom was declared by the formerly exiled King Jean, and held territory to the south of Elwynnese Amokolia, as well as holding the Islands. Eventually, that kingdom lost support among its people, and Elwynn annexed those areas as well.

Amokolia expanded steadily westwards into the Batavian lands as it sunk ever deeper into the grips of Froyalanish tyranny. The high water mark came as the Imperial Dominion of Mishalan was annexed into the Kingdom. This relentless expansion was suddenly and dramatically thrown into reverse by the Auspicious Occasion of 1651 when King Noah was abruptly deposed and deported by the Imperial Government. In the subsequent Partition of Elwynn, Amokolia lost all of its mainland territories to the Imperial Government with the sole exception of the eastern strip of Vattnaland.

A large portion of Oleslaad was set aside under a special Imperial administration to serve as a national reserve for Froyalaners and Vanics expelled from Amokolia and Elwynn after the Auspicious Occasion. After a decade of reduction through labour, resettlement into workers colonies, gelding of males, and miscegenation of females, usually by volunteers from amongst their Mishalanski "protectors", the overall number of Froyalaners capable of self-identifying as such has reduced and the first generation of mixed-Froyalanish females are approaching the years of fertility, the footprint of the Froyalan National Reservation has reduced to the protected city states of Einhornsby, Selfoss, and the - appropriately named named - new settlement of Terminus. The vacated land has been returned to the Amokolian authorities to remediate and open up for settlement and or economic exploitation.

Third Kingdom of Amokolia

The chaos and instability during the Kalirion Fracture prompted a new independent Amokolia. This new Amokolia was founded with control over the areas of Absentia, Agningas, Hyfrost, (western) Oleslääd and Izaria (former: Tsofnland). Unfortunately Livvist Elwynn occupies the primeval areas of Amokolia, such as the original capital Anun.

The king of Batavia, Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy, was invited to become king of Amokolia. His coronation was on 22.VI.1672, exactly 168 years after the foundation of Amokolia. In support of the Amokolian armed forces, the king already sent his personal military unit, the Tassity Mansabdar, to restore order. In the beginning, this new Amokolia had good relations with its neighbours, such as Benacia and Elwynn. For cultural reasons, the Treaty of Concord stipulated that the Kingdom of Amokolia would be referred to as West Amokolia.

The furious hatred of the Froyalaners from the Raspur Pact sickened the peaceful relations with Amokolia. The recognition of the Froyalanish genocide by the Amokolian king, the conspiracy that the Amokolian king would be a vassal of Stormark and the jealousy over the new energy and successes of the Amokolian king, made the Raspur Pact into a hate campaign against Amokolia. In Elwynn, Amokolian-minded parties were banished, citizens were incited against Amokolia and eventually Amokolian sovereignty was violated by a mortar shelling. This heralded the Second Amokolian War (24.VII.1678-{24.VI.1679. AN).

In Frankfurt-am-Oder a new constitution was introduced, in which the country underwent a "Wende". To get rid of the designation "West Amokolia" and to indicate that the country is "Frank und Frei", the name of the country was changed to: Frankish Empire. In Francia, the area east of the Oder is referred to as the Amokolian region. The cultural classification distinguishes it from other cultural regions, such as Froyalan and Gascon region.
