Palesmenia is a nation located on the east Keltian continent in the general area known as "Micrasia". It is not bordered by any nations, although it is in close proximity of Juclandia to the nation's southwest. The nation has a rich history, being the site of many grand nations such as Kampong and The Kingdom of Uantir. The nation's capital, Ábbad, sits on the former site of both these nations' capitals.

Background

Palesmenia started as a world building project by Aleksi Savić in mid 2015. It began with many paper maps, most of which are lost to the garbage can. The nation's was mostly kept isolated, apart from a failed state with a friend's nation. The nation mostly died off in 2017, but was soon revived in it's modern state in 2018.

History

Before Palesmenia

Shireroth

From maps 3.5.0-7.0.5, Shireroth owned the Duchy of Lothlaria in the area of modern Palesmenia. Before this, the nation of Akerbjorn occupied this area, but very little is known. The holdings near modern day Palesmenia where mostly agricultural fiefs, except for the massive city Nynchara of (then) great proportions. However, nearing the end of Series 7, Shireroth relocated the duchy in Apollonia.

Kampong

After the departure of Shireroth, the socialist nation of Kampong formed in map 8.0.2. The nation flourished for many years under the rule of St. Fenix. Many early elements of modern Palesmenian culture have origins here, however Kampongese and Palesmenian cultures are completely separate. The nation was eventually imploded and was shortly annexed by Kataria, before fully collapsing.

Uantir

After the collapse of Kampong, the Kingdom of Uantir came into being. The nation had heavy Anglo influence. The nation spanned nearly all of eastern Keltia. After many years, the nation had collapsed after it's northern territories where lost.

Unification

As mentioned above, the nations of Kampong and Uantir once stood where Palesmenia is today. The starting point of modern Palesmenian history is after the Juclandians evacuated the far north of their nation, letting the Western Tribes move back to their homeland of the fertile east. Don't be confused however, these tribes were anything but unified. They all (even to this day, we don't know the exact amount) had a deep hatred of each other. This was especially true with the 3 main tribal dynasties, the Yám, the Láu, the Gázar i Yáran, and the Pálesh. This was forever changed when the current Émprassi, Nasser I of the Pálesh tribe, waged a brutal campaign to unify all Palesmenians under his tribe's banner (thus why our flag is so strange to some). The campaign ended when he seized Ábbad from the Láu and declared "Our worries are now over! We have achieved what our ancestors couldn't!" From that day on, the mainland has been unified.

Expedition 1

Soon after the flames of war were blown out, a team of surveyors calling themselves "Expedition 1" began exploring the islands close to the coast. Due to the recent collapse of Gerenia, many of their past colonies were discovered. They soon discovered this they found the former settlement of Dorme, which had previously been part of their colonial possession in eastern Keltia. The surveying team named the island "Átri" (English: Reef) after the reefs that were recorded to surround the island and has petitioned the government planning to send supply ships to the island to begin the construction of a small military installation. The current construction site has been labeled as "Snéshwiń-Varm" (English: Friendship Corridor). The construction is set to begin once enough workers can be brought to the site as well as the island being declared a "Military Area". Another crew later came upon the former Uantir ruin of "Queens Refuge" on the island of Angár. The survey team then later roughly translated this "Rnâdár e-Kenzie" (English: Refuge of the Queen). Many other small islets were found, the largest of these lying northwest of the city of Mánázar. Although the island of Aydaria was spotted, it was deemed "too risky" to land on by the survey operator due to the distance of the island from the mainland. However, landing are to commence "in the near future." This finally happened in late February of the next year, when pioneers landed and founded the city of Nasir'i Vyurmá.

Geography and Climate

The geography can be descried in one word: flat. There are no major divisions in the terrain except for the mighty Yákkón River that infamously only has 3 bridges over it. The nation is very wet, allowing for plentiful harvests of crops, especially rice. Due to this, if a farmer is skilled enough, he may double crop to double the amount of rice that he can harvest, making them more money and feeding more people.

Rice is a significant export product for the Palesmenians. In early 1670, the government signed an agreement with the Iron Company, which established a trading post and warehouse complex in Palesmenia in order to ship rice across Micras.

Politics

With the country ruled by the Émprassi, many executive powers are directly under his thumb. However, there is an elected parliament, called the Nadcraši, ran by prime minister Váshir Léh. With this, however, only certain, imperially approved, parties may run. This doesn't stop underground political clubs from springing up. One of the most infamous is the KKHAHK (Communist Club of Workers of Former Kampong) and its armed wing, the KAT (Kampongese Workers Army). Much communist in the nation comes from the notable Kampongese population, for which their nation was a one party communist state. However, with the end of serious civil strife, this party was banned. Since then, politics within the state has remained organized.
