| '''Batavia''', officially the '''Kingdom of Batavia''', (Dutch: Koninkrijk Batavië), is a country in the southwest of [[Benacia]]. The country borders [[Shireroth]] to the northeast, the [[Great Western Sea]] to the south and west and the [[King's Bay]] to the northwest. The capital of Batavian is the city [['s Koningenwaarde]]. Other important cities are [[Davignon]] and [[Kingsrise]].
| |
|
| |
| Originally Batavië was founded in 1513 AN, but the current state is a revival in 1661 AN after a period of relapse. By means of various treaties, parts of the original Batavian territory have come under the Batavian flag again.
| |
|
| |
| Batavia is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The current king is [[Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy]]. The parliament is a bicameral system, consisting of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Batavia forms with [[Arcadia]], the [[Beneluccas]] and [[Kasterburg]] the [[Batavian Confederation]] (Dutch: Bataafse Bond).

| == History ==
| |
|
| |
| * See [[Batavian history]] for the main article on this topic.
| |
|
| |
| In 1513 AN (February 9, 2006) the '''Free Batavian States''' (Dutch: Free Batavian States) were founded by [[Jodocus van Haltna]]. He came from the [[Refoweb Republic]], or Refobliek, where other Batavians came from. [[Faya Veronique]] was crowned Queen, she was very popular because she listened to the people.
| |
|
| |
| The Free Batavian States disintegrated after several unrest, after which in 1520 AN the '''First Kingdom of Batavia''' arose. The inactive queen was replaced by [[Arkadius Leopold des Vinandy]], better known as [[Arkadius I]]. But the unrest did not stop and the kingdom ended.
| |
|
| |
| In 1523 AN created the '''Republic of Davignon''' (Dutch: Davignonrepubliek), an unofficial name for the state that was a preparation for the revival of the kingdom.

| |
| === Golden age ===
| |
|
| |
| In 1523 AN (January 4, 2007) the Second Kingdom of Batavia was founded. The nation flourished under the rule of King [[Arkadius Hendrik des Vinandy]], better known as ''Arkadius II'', and later Queen [[Fränzi-Ferdinanda des Vinandy-Windsor]]. In this era, the constitutional monarchy became an outstanding example of ''checks and balances'' between the remnants of old (and later also new) nobility in the Hogerhuis, and the elected representatives of the people in the Lagerhuis. While retaining a certain amount of power, the Crown did not actively interfere in the politics of the nation.
| |
|
| |
| The ascension of [[Antonius des Vinandy]] (''Arkadius III''), was met with enthusiasm and popular support, but also with contempt among the ever growing republican groups. The King's attempt to strengthen the active role of the Hogerhuis, its expansion to include lower nobility and his mismanagement of riots in the capital, plummeted his popularity and led to the loss of significant support for the monarchy.
| |
|
| |
| Faced with a difficult crises and on the advise of the Prince-Bisshop of Catologum, ''Constantijn Windsor'', the constitution was disbanded. A new royal cabinet was appointed under direct guidance of the King and an emergency parliament, consisting of important politicians and military officers, was called together. This period is also called the '''Oogstmaandmonarchie''' (''Oogstmaand Monarchy'') and did only last for two Norton years (1579 - 1581 AN).
| |
|
| |
| === Century of relapse ===
| |
|
| |
| The '''Third Kingdom''' (1581 - 1582 AN) which reintroduced the Lagerhuis and elections, didn't even survive for a full Norton year. A coup d'etat by the military ended the hopes of any chance of reconciling the nation. Civil War ravished the countryside, while generals began acting as local warlords. For example, General Jeroen van Veen, commander of the 's Koningenwaarde garrison, turned the capital and its surrounding countryside into his own fief. Several officers followed his example.
| |
|
| |
| The newly established '''Batavian State''' (1582 - 1585 AN) became therefore soon an unstable military dictatorship. Making things worse, from 1583 and onwards it was challenged by the rump state '''Grand Kingdom of Batavia''', which was led by King Arkadius III, who had gathered a small number of royalists around him.
| |
|
| |
| The '''Fourth Kingdom''' (1585 - 1591 AN), the '''Bondskoninkrijk''' (1591 - 1592 AN) and '''Fifth Kingdom''' (1592 - 1614 AN) followed each other one after another. Depending on the moment, the nation had periods of growth, followed by decline.
| |
|
| |
| === Distribution and Revival ===
| |
|
| |
| After its demise in 1613 AN, the Kingdom's former lands were - for a while - under protection of the [[Jingdaoese Empire]]. The high costs, frequent barbaric attacks and insufficient funding led to the retreat of the Jingdaoese defence forces to a limited number of enclaves (including the [[Regenteneilanden]], the ancient capital, 's Koningenwaarde and its surroundings). The population which was not evacuated in time, was forced to fend for itself. A large part of the territory would eventually be annexed by Shireroth. In the former Gewest of Hoorne, which became part of the [[Kasterburg|Kasterburger Republic]].
| |
|
| |
| In 1661 AN the nation was revived, the United Batavian States. There was great uncertainty about the restoration of the territory under the Batavian flag. An idea for a new Batavian country on Eura was launched, but has not come into effect. The enclaves of the Jingdao Empire were transferred, as well as the imperial domain of the Confederacy of Puritanian States of Shireroth. In 1669 AN the state was transformed into the Sixth Kingdom with another Vinandy on the throne: [[Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Demographics==
| |
|
| |
| As a result of the turbulent history, the Batavians have spread over Micras. As a result, only 15.86% of all Batavians live in the Kingdom of Batavia. A minority of Shirerians live in the former areas of Shirerian Dietsland, Puritanian States and Voltue. And a minority of Jingdaoese in Tianhoucheng ('s Koningenwaarde) and the former Colony of Itteria.
