History

The Empire

Main article: Alcoalitanian Empire (Pacifica)

Ancient Alcoalitanian Empire

The Ancient Alcoalitanian Empire (officially known as The Alcoalitanian Empire) was the prehistoric predecessor of the Democratic Republic of Alcoalitania.The Ancient Alcoalitanian Empire was established in 1552 and lasted until 1700. (148 years)

The Priceist Era

Priceism is a political ideology, religion or an alleged cult started by the Price Family and it was the main focus of the Priceist Revolution in the 1500s which lead to the formation of the empire. Pirceism claims that anyone under the Price heritage must be treated as a god and must be worshipped. Priceism believes in oppression of political opponents, and it claims that the Alcoalitanian Empire must be preserved.

Priceist individuals were known for opposing the Zarkanxiz belief as well as the Kustannuksan Empire, as they believed they were opponents of the empire (which later influenced the Coalitanian invasion of Vrigny in the year 1678). Despite Alcoalitania, Kustannuksa and Vrigny having bad relations in the past, all parties have agreed to repair their relations with each other in the modern day.

Collapse of the Ancient Alcoalitanian Empire

TBD

Internal Struggles

1. Political Corruption and Inefficiency: TBD

2. Economic Decline: TBD

3. Social Unrest: TBD

External Pressures

The Alcoalitanian Empire faced multiple invasions from different powers in the region like the Kustannuksan Empire, Vrigny, as well as its states that seceded. After the empire's invasion of Vrigny, the now state of Aldestukk seceded from the empire, and the empire started losing the war with Vrigny.

Key Events Leading to Collapse

1. The Great Famine (1675-1680): A series of poor harvests led to a devastating famine that killed millions and further destabilized the empire. The government’s inability to provide relief exacerbated public discontent and led to widespread rebellion.

2. The Succession Crisis (1685-1690): The death of Emperor Elithor III without a clear heir triggered a violent succession crisis. Rival factions within the royal court and military vied for power, plunging the empire into a civil war. This internal conflict further weakened the empire's structure and left it vulnerable to external attacks.

3. The Siege of Conshuk (1699): The capital city, Conshuk, faced a prolonged siege by the Kustannuksan Empire. The fall of Conshuk in 1699 marked the definitive end of central imperial authority. With the capital sacked and the royal family executed, the Alcoalitanian Empire effectively ceased to exist.

Transition to Modern Alcoalitania

Following the collapse of the empire as well as the siege of the empire's capital, the Alcoalitanian Empire ceased to exist.

Division of Alcoalitania into two countries 1750 - 1870

Previously, Alcoalitania was split up into two provinces, West and East Alcoalitania, which had very different political views and ideologies. This led to the division of the country.

During a pivotal juncture in Alcoalitania's history, the nation underwent a profound division, leading to the establishment of two distinct entities: West Alcoalitania and East Alcoalitania. This division arose due to the country having very different political views in all parts of the country, which led to an imbalance between western and eastern territories.

West Alcoalitania emerged as a dictatorship, with one leader. It was lead by the Price Family which ruled the country with an iron fist. West Alcoalitania had very low HDI, often not caring about the welfare of its citizens, but instead focused on defense against the eastern regime. This meant that West Alcoalitania was significantly stronger than the east in terms of defense forces and size of their militaries, while also having more land. The regime was largely fascist (fascism did not exist in this era, however the western regime had something that resembled modern-day fascism.), which naturally made it way more disliked by other nations.

However, East Alcoalitania emerged as a democratic nation, with fair elections and the right to vote. East Alcoalitania was significantly richer than the west, but had less firepower. The east also had less land than the west, which made it even more vulnerable to invasions. The eastern regime was heavily anti-fascist, which meant that it received the support of many independent Coalitanian colonies that seceded from the empire.

The division of Alcoalitania into West and East underscored the profound ideological and political cleavages that had long simmered beneath the surface of the nation. While West Alcoalitania embraced authoritarianism in the pursuit of stability and control, East Alcoalitania championed democracy and individual liberties. This schism, while reflective of internal divisions, also served as a catalyst for the redefinition of political identities and values within the nation. The contrasting trajectories pursued by West and East Alcoalitania would shape the course of their respective histories and leave an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of the nation.

Invasion of East Alcoalitania 1870 - 1890

During the period from 1870 to 1890, the invasion of East Alcoalitania marked a bloody chapter in the nation's history, characterized by conflict and bloodshed. The ncident for this full-scale invasion occurred when the Chief of the Western Coalitanian Army, on a diplomatic visit to the eastern regime, was tortured by 19 East Alcoalitanian locals. In response, the Western Army launched a series of military campaigns, aiming to seize control of key territories in the east.

The initial stages of the invasion saw the Western Army remotely occupy strategic cities such as East Dholok, Botshkua, and Yok. However, their advance towards Eastern Alcoalitania's capital was met with heavy resistance, which ended in a month long siege of the city. Despite the Western Army's determination, the eastern defenders emerged victorious.

Subsequent attempts by the Western Army to penetrate deeper into East Alcoalitania's territory were met with similar outcomes, often ending in sieges and eventual losses. The resilience of the eastern defenders, coupled with support from allied nations opposed to the Western regime, resisted repeated invasion efforts. Despite facing setbacks, the Western Army persisted in their campaigns, eventually gaining control of the northeastern region of East Alcoalitania.

Following years of warfare and bloodshed, both sides signed a temporary peace treaty for the sake of their citizens. After the peace treaty was over (1980), the West Alcoalitanian Army invaded the east's capital, eventually gaining control and the East Alcoalitanian regime collapsing under the west's rule.

Reunification of Alcoalitania under the rule of the Price Family 1890 - 1940

The year 1890 witnessed the unification of Alcoalitania and the Price Family's control over the eastern territories, marking a dark chapter in the nation's history. With the consolidation of power, the Price Family's rule grew increasingly oppressive, characterized by fascist, communist, and authoritarian practices. Civil liberties were outlawed, dissent was ruthlessly suppressed, and religious freedom was non existent.

The implementation of these new laws and rules was a dark turning point in Alcoalitania's history, as the people were oppressed by the fascist regime. Most of the nation's people was living in poverty, with the highest-tech farming tools being a shovel and hoe. Around 56% of the nation's population was in absolute poverty. Suicides rose from 20,000 average a year, to around 90,000. The banning of religious texts angered the populace even more, which led to around 30,000 people illegally escaping West Alcoalitania in 1980.

Great Rebellion

The onset of the Great Rebellion in 1940 marked a turning point in Alcoalitania's history, as widespread civil unrest erupted across the nation. A wave of protests and demonstrations, fueled by grievances against the ruling regime, swept through the country, igniting a fierce struggle for liberation. Government buildings were targeted, military personnel were engaged in clashes, and acts of sabotage rocked the foundations of the state.

The government's brutal crackdown on dissent only served to inflame tensions further, as massacres and atrocities were committed against unarmed civilians. Amidst the chaos and bloodshed, the seeds of rebellion were sown, setting the stage for a protracted civil war that would shape the destiny of Alcoalitania for decades to come

The rebellion happened in the capital city of Cintralia where citizens would march with their palms held high while shouting the phrase "Wu˩ ses labert!" which translates to "We are free!". During the rebellion, most soldiers, police officers and even government workers would often start rebelling with the citizens, which lead to around 65% of the government being on the rebellious side. The Price Family felt intense pressure after 5 of their members were taken and held hostage by the revolts, and eventually gave into the rebels' demands.

Collapse of the Price Family

The Price Family eventually fell, and all members of the family were cremated and dumped into the South Pacific Ocean. The rebellion was a major success to the Coalitanian people, and eventually led to the governmental officials that were on the rebellious side to govern the newly found unoppressive nation.

Post-decolonization

After the Great War had ended and the world's superpowers started the process of decolonization, the land (that is now Northern Alcoalitania) was reclaimed by Alcoalitania.

As Coalitanians started settling into the new territory, they encountered a small nation in Vorsari, an island nation whcih had inhabited the island during and after decolonization. Alcoalitania and Vorsari decided on a treaty, which would grant Alcoalitania the nothern and less populated north of the island, while Vorsari would occupy the southern peninsula.

Second Democratic Movement (2024)

Stage One: The protests

Cintralia, Alcoalitania – Protests surged across Alcoalitania as citizens take to the streets demanding the transition from a single-party system to a multi-party democracy.

Widespread Demonstrations

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in major cities including Cintralia, Ere’Js City, Dholok, and Austral City. Protesters are calling for political reforms that would end the decades-long single-party rule and allow for greater political representation.

Key Demands

Protesters have outlined their key demands:

1. Introduction of Multi-Party Democracy: Citizens are calling for the immediate implementation of a political system that allows the formation and operation of multiple political parties.
2. Free and Fair Elections: There are demands for the establishment of an independent electoral commission to oversee transparent and fair elections.
3. Political Freedom and Rights: Demonstrators are advocating for constitutional amendments to ensure political freedoms and rights for all citizens.

Voices from the Ground

“We want a government that truly represents us,” said a protester in Cintralia. “The current system does not reflect our diverse views and aspirations.”

Government Response

While the government has acknowledged the protests, official statements suggest a cautious approach to addressing the demands. President Dawod Durant has called for calm and promised to consider the public’s grievances.

Growing Momentum

The protests, initially sparked by dissatisfaction with the current political system, have gained momentum over the past weeks. Various social groups, activists, and civil society organizations have joined the movement, increasing pressure on the government to initiate reforms.

International Attention

The protests have drawn international attention, with various global leaders and human rights organizations expressing support for the demonstrators’ demands for political reform and democratic governance.

Stage Two: Legalization

After multiple peaceful demonstrations that arose in multiple parts of Alcoalitania, the Coalitanian government released the following statement:

The Coalitanian government has formally legalized political parties in a historic move in response to the public’s overwhelming demand for political reform. With this significant decision, the nation enters a new phase of political diversity and democratic participation.

The legalization of political parties makes it possible for other political groupings to form and register, giving the public additional options and a forum for more in-depth political discussion.

In addition to this noteworthy development, the government has declared that the present presidential term is coming to an end and that national elections will take place shortly. To guarantee impartiality and openness, the recently formed Independent Electoral Commission will supervise the next elections.

Among the announcement’s main points are:

Legalization of Political Parties: The Independent Electoral Commission, which will offer comprehensive instructions and guarantee a fair registration procedure, is now accepting registrations from political parties.

Future National Elections: A detailed schedule of events, including important dates for party registration, the campaign trail, and election days, will be released soon.

This choice demonstrates the government’s dedication to democratic principles and its receptiveness to popular opinion. The public is urged to interact with the recently recognized political parties and take an active role in the democratic reform.

Elections and term limits

After the legalization, the Coalitanian government announced that the presidential term limit would be 4 years.

Etymology

The name "Alcoalitania" derives from the ancient C'ao (Loakme) word "coalitania" meaning "Coalition" and Al meaning "The". The name "The Coalition" came from a coalition of rebelious states started by the Price Family in a former nation that had previously occupied Coalitanian lands, which led to the formation of the country. The Coalition was a small country that had colonized rapidly, until it had expanded significantly. The Coalition was started in 1552, and resulted in the formation of the Alcoalitanian Empire.
