| '''West Amokolia''', officially the '''Kingdom of Amokolia''', (Germanian: '''Königreich von Amokolië'''; Mishalanese: Королество Амоколия, ''Korolestvo Amokoliya''), is a country in the north of [[Benacia]] with small parts on [[Apollonia]] and the [[Madison Isles]]. The country lies to the [[Northern Sea]] and borders [[Elwynn]], [[Unified Governorates of Benacia]], [[Inner Benacia]], [[Kalgachia]], [[Batavia]] and [[Stormark]]. The parts on the Madison Isles are in the [[Great Western Sea]] and the part on the main island borders Batavia. The part on Apollonia borders [[Norrland]]. | | '''West Amokolia''', officially the '''Kingdom of Amokolia''', (Germanian: '''Königreich von Amokolië'''; Mishalanese: Королество Амоколия, ''Korolestvo Amokoliya''), has been transformed into the [[Francia|Frankish Empire]]. This article will be adapted to the new situation and with the description of the rich history of Amokolia. |
| | |
| The current West Amokolia originated at the [[Kalirion Fracture]], where the country formed a kingdom under the rule of [[Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy]], from the [[House of Vinandy]]. This created a de facto personal union with Batavia, since Arkadius is already king of the [[Kingdom of Batavia]] and later also with the [[Helderbourgh|Grand Duchy of Helderbourgh]]. Among some Amokolians, the kingdom is classified as the Kingdom of West-Amokolia because the original Amokolian territories lie to the east of the present kingdom. The areas Automatics (or Amokolian Islands), Mishalan, (eastern) Olesääd and Vattnaland are considered part of the kingdom, but are not under control.
| |
| | |
| The capital of West Amokolia is the city of [[Brandenburg]]. This city was founded when the current Kingdom of Amokolia was founded. The ancient capital [[Anun]], on the island of Drakenoya, is not part of the kingdom. This made it necessary to choose a new capital.
| |
| | |
| West Amokolia is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The current king is '''Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy'''. The parliament is the Reichstag, consisting of the Sænate and House of Representatives.
| |
| | |
| ==Geography==
| |
| [[File:Elce valley.jpg|thumb|right|View of the Elce valley]]
| |
| The north coast of '''Amokolia on Benacia''' is characterized by cliff rocks interrupted by north-flowing watercourses. On the western border around the river Oder, wetlands and swampy conditions can be found. The Stasia plateau on the northeast coast is steeper, with many glacier-shaped features in the coastline and lakes.
| |
| | |
| Central Amokolia is crossed by the Gosling ridge. From this hillside many watercourses flow north, including to the wetlands around the Oder. The ridge is densely forested, while to the north there is less and less forest to be found due to the colder climate. South of the Gosling ridge, the Elce flows in a north-easterly direction.
| |
| | |
| South of the Elce, central Amokolia has a rugged and somewhat patternless hilly and mountainous landscape. The south-western border lies at the foot of the Octavian mountains, while on the south-eastern border lies the Mishalan plateau, from where the Blue Elwynn originates. The eastern border traverses a hilly landscape that extends to the eastern coast.
| |
| | |
| '''Amokolian Brettania''' on the [[Madison Isles]] consists of a small part on the main island and the islands of Essax and Holmes on the east coast of the main island. A wooded hilly landscape can be found on the main island, while the eastern islands are characterized by a tundra-like landscape.
| |
| | |
| '''Jorvik''', on the Apollonia continent, is situated at the confluence of the rivers Hvítá and Trysilelva.
| |
| | |
| '''Greater Gosling''', on the Keltia continent, consists of a peninsula and an archipelago. The peninsula is characterized by a steeply sloping mountain ridge. The island north of the peninsula is in fact a part of this same ridge that has broken loose. The rocky islands covered with windswept grass fields.

| ==History==
| |
| | |
| ''Main article: [[History of Amokolia]]''
| |
| | |
| ===Pre 1672 AN===
| |
| | |
| Amokolia was originally founded in 1504 AN (May 12, 2005). The pre Micras era consisted of a turbulent history, with at least ten monarchs succeeding each other. King Jess X establish the constitution and brought Amokolia to Micras. The first territory consisted of the [[Automatica|Automatica islands]], then the territory expanded on the mainland of Benacia.
| |
| | |
| In 1540 AN, Amokolia joined the newly formed [[Gralan Empire]] for four Nortonyears. After Amokolia became independent for thirteen Nortonyears, the country became part of the [[Ocia|Ocian Federation]]. The country was liberated during the Amokolian war (1556-1557 AN).
| |
| | |
| But after two Norton years, Amokolia became part of the [[Victoria|Victorian Empire]]. Only the Victorian Empire was not as stable as hoped, after which Amokolia was annexed by Elwynn. Under Elwynnese flag, East Amokolia became part of [[Shireroth]], while the remainder became a protectorate of Natopia. Later, as an imperial domain, Amokolia expanded westward. But after the Auspicious Occasion, Amokolia disappeared from the map.
| |
| | |
| ===Independent Amokolia===
| |
| | |
| The chaos and instability during the Kalirion Fracture prompted a new independent West Amokolia. This new West Amokolia was founded with control over the areas of Absentia, Agningas, Hyfrost, (western) Olesääd and Tsofnland. The [[Declaration of Brandenburg]] is the official declaration of independence.
| |
| | |
| In 1672 AN, the [[Amokolian Highlanders]] invaded Mishalan.
| |
| | |
| In 1675, the government of the Kingdom of Amokolia acknowledged in the [[Treaty of Concord]] that its short form was to be '''West Amokolia''' and not the simple '''Amokolia''':
| |
| | |
| ::''[Elwynn, West Amokolia and the Unified Governorates of Benacia] recognize that the historic homelands of the Amokolians, known as Amokolia, is shared between them. Neither of the Parties claim to be the sole homeland of the Amokolian people. As such, the Kingdom of Amokolia shall be referred as "The Kingdom of Amokolia" or "West Amokolia". "Amokolia", without qualification, shall refer to the entirety of West Amokolia, Severnaya Gubernya and Elwynnese Amokolia.''
| |
| | |
| The Unified Governorates of Benacia soon cancelled the treaty and Elwynn also threatened to cancel the treaty. In West Amokolia the "Frank und Frei Bewegung" (frank and free movement) emerged, which strongly opposed the term "West Amokolia".
| |
| | |
| ==Demographics==
| |
| | |
| Based on the census of 1669 AN, the population of West Amokolia is: 3,565,849.
| |
| | |
| == Government ==
| |
| | |
| The Kingdom of Amokolia is currently governed by a military council. The appointment of a king is the first step towards the formation of a constitutional heritage monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. The intended king is Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy.
| |
| | |
| === Independence ===
| |
| | |
| The chaos during the Kalirion Fracture made the area, which forms the Kingdom of Amokolia, a forgotten area. Shirerian troops concentrated on the greater unrest elsewhere in Shireroth, allowing Froyalanish terrorists to seize the opportunity to revolt. The [[Amokolian Highlanders]] were helped by the [[Batavian Knights Charitable and Hospitaller of Amokolia]] to get the area under control.
| |
| | |
| The turning point came when the realization came that the area could no longer count on support from Shirekeep. A hastily convened meeting of dignitaries and military leaders led to the declaration of independence through the [[Declaration of Brandenburg]].
| |
| | |
| The king of Batavia, Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy, was invited to become king of Amokolia. His coronation was on 12 Weidemond 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.
| |
| | |
| === Reichstag ===
| |
| | |
| In the I.1674 elections, only the [[Amokolian Freedom Front]] and the [[Conservative Historical Party]] seats in the Reichstag:

| === Foreign Relations ===
| |
| | |
| * ''Main article: [[Foreign relations of Amokolia]]''
| |
| | |
| Amokolia profiles itself as an independent and neutral nation.
| |
| | |
| Attempts to build good diplomatic relations with neighbouring nations failed due to the oversensitive response of those nations to territorial policies and recognition of the Froyalan Genocide. Despite this, treaties have been concluded with Elwynn, but there is uncertainty about the sustainability of those treaties.
| |
| | |
| As a result of the de facto personal union with Batavia and Helderbourgh, Amokolia maintains friendly relations with these countries. But compared to the various other [[Vulture States]], Amokolia is not a member of the [[Raspur Pact]]. Although previous incarnations and protector states of the Kingdom of Amokolia were members of the [[Micras Treaty Organization]], current Amokolia is not a member. This policy is referred to as [[wikipedia:Splendid isolation|"splendid isolation"]].
| |
| | |
| == Military ==
| |
| | |
| === Civilians with weapons ===
| |
| | |
| Although not part of the army, Amokolia maintains the fundamental right of self-defence. The possession and carrying of firearms is permitted, with the only restriction that one must be an adult and that weapons must be registered. Only a judge can cancel or restrict possession and carrying of weapons.
| |
| | |
| As a result, many citizens have weapons in their possession. Almost every city or village has a shooting range, where citizens can practice. In some places civilian militias are formed, which organize tactical exercises. The possession, as well as the public carrying of weapons, is promoted by various organizations. More weapons are sold if there are tensions at the borders of the kingdom.
| |
| | |
| === Military service ===
| |
| | |
| Every citizen is called up for military service at the age of eighteen. There is no distinction between men and women. Exceptions are possible, such as on grounds of health, height and when two older brothers and sisters are already or have been in military service. Military service can also be postponed, for example, so as not to interrupt an ongoing study.
| |
| | |
| After military service, men and women become part of the reserve army, insofar as they do not continue in the professional army. The reserve army can be summoned in the event of a threat of the kingdom, in addition there are compulsory annual exercises. The military service lasts two to three years, participation in the reserve army until the age of forty.
| |
| | |
| === Armed forces ===
| |
| | |
| The Amokolian armed forces are made up of different units:
| |
| * [[Amokolian Highlanders]]
| |
| * [[Batavian Knights Charitable and Hospitaller of Amokolia]]
| |
| * [[Tassity Mansabdar]] (a military unit from Natopia loyal to the Nawab of Tassity)

| |
| | |
| === Energy ===
| |
| | |
| Upon the independence of the Kingdom of Amokolia, the country inherited the power plants from Shireroth. Due to overdue maintenance, several nuclear power stations were not safe enough. The kingdom has temporarily purchased electricity from Elwynn. But soon the government started working on renewing the energy supply and replacing the electricity grid.
| |
| | |
| Today, the last old Shirerian power plants are shut down and the energy supply consists of the combination of new small nuclear plants, molten salt plants and gas plants. The electricity grid has been completely replaced and set up redunant. There is national coordination of energy supply, but generated locally.
| |
| | |
| The molten salt power plants are a unique and pioneering development. The supply of torium is sufficient for the energy supply for the next hundred years. The new nuclear power stations were built as a bunker with local storage of nuclear waste. This means that transport of nuclear waste is not necessary. Some nuclear power stations are combined with an isotope reactor (intended for medical use) and the enrichment of uranium.
| |
| | |
| == Culture ==
| |
| | |
| === Amokolia Feeling ===
| |
| | |
| Amokolia Feeling has been an annual festival since 1641 AN. The Amokolian culture is celebrated, with music, dance and traditional cuisine as important elements.
| |
| | |
| The first edition in 1641 AN was introduced with a video with images from all over Amokolia [https://youtu.be/G25MLVUrG3A]. At the time, Amokolia consisted of the contemporary parts of Batavia and West Elwynn. The video is reminiscent of the tourist promotion films of the [[Batavian Broadcasting Company]] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8MPXEe65yE].
| |
| | |
| === Beer culture ===
| |
| | |
| Amokolia is a beer country. Most Amokolian beers are cool bottom -fermented and are considered the best cool bottom- fermented beers from Micras. Especially in the area around Gänslein Kamm there is a high density of breweries. The city of Babenberch is centrally located in this area, where the traditional and national drink Rauchbier (smoked beer) comes from.
| |
| | |
| Most beers are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot (purity command). This means that beer can only contain malted barley, water and hops. Moreover, the commandment prohibits the use of herbs and fruits. However, there are also beers that deviate from this, this is called Freibier (free beer). It is therefore mandatory to state on the packaging that it is a Freibier.
| |
| | |
| ==== Bierfest ====
| |
| | |
| Every year the Bierfest (beer festival) is celebrated, on the wedding date of Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy and Clara des Vinandy - Sundara Waffel-Paine: 7 Weidemond. The Bierfest is opened by a parade of brass bands, floats and the first beer barrel. The partygoers wear traditional costumes, the "lederhose" for men and the "dirndl" for women. The Bierfest is celebrated in large tents, beer halls and beer gardens.
| |
| | |
| The national first beer barrel is tapped by the king. This is done locally by the mayor or other local administrator. Only beer approved by the Brandenburg Bierhaus may be served, often only Amokolian beers. The beer is served in a special beer mug, which is removed from the mug safe for this occasion. The beer mug of the king is picked up with a grand ceremony from the mug safe in [[Vinandy]].
| |
| | |
| Traditional music is played during the festivities, often with a large [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlKccuS_ayk "Oom-pah-pah"] part. Favourite is to eat bratwurst while drinking beer.
| |
| | |
| === National Symbols ===
| |
| [[File:Branta canadensis.jpg|thumb|right|Amokolian Goose]]
| |
| Because of the turbulent history of Amokolia, the national symbols are a composition from this history:
| |
| * The flag of West Amokolia consists of a white hemmed cross of Saint George on a red surface. The red color is derived from the red color on the flag of the Kingdom of Victoria, making the red color deeper than the red color of the original flag of Amokolia. The cross is derived from the original flag of Amokolia, with the cross in the upper left corner. The current flag was introduced in 1671 AN.
| |
| * The West Amokolian coat of arms is composed of part of the coat of arms of the capital Brandenburg and the symbol of the winter oak. This symbol was first used on the Amokolian flag when the country was part of the Kingdom of Victoria.
| |
| * National anthem
| |
| * The national animal is the Amokolian Goose, also known as the Branta Canadensis.
| |
| * The national tree is the winter oak, also known as the Quercus petraea.
| |
| | |
| === Holidays ===
| |
| | |
| * Foundation day: 12 Weidemond.
| |
| | |
| === Calendar ===
| |
| | |
| The West Amokolian calendar is a combination of the Norton calendar and Gregorian calendar. The era is the same as the Norton calendar, but the months are the same as the Gregorian calendar with its own names. The calendar thus corresponds to the New Batavian Calendar, as used in Batavia.
| |
| | |
| * January: Eismond (Ice Month)
| |
| * February: Taumond (Dew Month)
| |
| * March: Lenzmond (Spring month)
| |
| * April: Blühendermond (Flowering Month)
| |
| * May: Weidemond (Meadow Month)
| |
| * June: Brachmond (Fallow Month)
| |
| * July: Heumond (Hay Month)
| |
| * August: Erntemond (Harvest Month)
| |
| * September: Herbstmond (Autumn Month)
| |
| * October: Weinmond (Wine Month)
| |
| * November: Nebelmond (Misty Month)
