Eflad (pronounced: /eflɑːd/, Low Alman: /eflædɛ/), officially Republic of Eflad, is a country in the South Pacific on the island of north Cordilia. Eflad is situated between the Astro Sea and Berusturg and the Groot Brocken mountain range, bordered by Berusturg to the north, Besern to the east, Koros to the south and EAS to the south-west. Characteristic for Eflad and the Ares Island, situated in the Astro Sea, are its rainforests with a humid summer tropical rainforest climate, its coastal and urban regions and steep mountains. Eflad has a total area of 152,827 km2 and a population of 56 million (as of 2021). Sedunn is a federal parliamentary republic.[1] The capital is the city of Tehnograd, the country's largest city and main cultural and scientific centre. Other major cities are Selpe, Krœfed and Cræfoi.

Eflad has been inhabited for a long time. Oldest remaines indicate that during the emigration wave in 20 000 BC, Eflad was a route towards south Cordilia. Due to its vast valleys and rainforests it was seen as a resourcefull place to settle. Later on, the first Efladian tribes were established. Today named Laertans, they were the first permanent settlers, which shaped Eflads geography to their needs. A particulary properous part of Eflad was what today are Fredoast and Lorgder.

History

Early history

The earliest human remains have been found north-east of Reræ and were dated to 20 000 BC. The earliest found settlements were discovered by an archeological team at the city of Selpe and were dated back to 40 B.C. The city today is a mark of the countries history and prosperity. The social order was very much hierarchic, with signs of a judicial system. The city prospered with time and was becoming a important stop for trade deals.

Foreign settlements

At around the 12th century foreigners settled but moved very quickly for unknown reasons. Natives tell the story of the ship which came and went as fast as the wind. Around three centuries later, further settlers came as the trade expanded. They made Selpe a major trading city and went further inlands, founding further towns like Cræfoi and Tehnograd.

Civil War

The settlers, mostly at the Sapol river, started exploiting natives as cheap or sometimes free labour. This exploiting was used to create ships, transform goods and work on farms. As the number of natives was still large, they had the capabilities to revolt. This started as a local problem, soon becoming a national one. After three months of revolting in the federal state of Fredoast, the Native Revolution (NR) took the capital Selpe and arrested the Federal Minister, who supported the exploitation. The federal government was reluctant to assist the federal state as it didn't want to creat a civil war. This was the national policy until the Federal Minister was arrested. As natives overtook the control of the federal state the national government intervened. First by diplomacy, requesting the natives to step down in turn for strengthening - but not outlawing - the exploitation, then by force. On the 22.07.1836 the "Eflad National Army" (ENA) started mission Overhaul. The mission consisted out of the conquering of the mountains surrounding the city of Selpe. Yet the NR had the high ground and were persistent. Through sabotages and guerilla attacks, the logistics of the ENA were crippled and a stalemate lasted for two years. After the ENA recovered the natives attacked and created a buffer zone. The NR used the weapons they collected in Fredoast from the stations of the ENA. The war was mostly led long range, as the NR had secured the mountains, which gave them an advantage. In the rest of the country, massive public denomination of natives was underway. Many natives were killed in so-called "Freeing fights". After six months of constant fighting a peace treaty was signed on the 23rd of August 1840, creating the Republic of Eflad.

Modern Age

Eflad has since then moved forward and created a commission of recollection, to find the perpetrators of crimes commited in the "Freedom fights". Since industrialisation many cities became hotspots for new technologies. One such example is the city of Tehnograd. First a city based on the production of wheat and cattle it was transformed to a city of informational technology and science. This new 'boom' of technology meant that new universities and schools were built, which attracted a lot of foreign students. Eflad is a member of the World Forum as well as the CPSC.

Geography

Eflad is situated between the Astro Sea in the northwest and a moutain range in the south and east. Elevation ranges from Mt. Tlohog (2167m) to the valley which lies just above the level of sea (65m). Significant natural resources are copper, silicium and uranium. The plains of Efald are mostly covered in rainforest, although a large portion has been cut down due to urban expansion.

Politics

Eflad is a federal, parliamentary, representative democratic republic. Federal legislative power is vested in the parliament consisting of the Sænat and Föderaler Konzil of Eflad (Federal Council), which together form the legislative body. The Sænat is elected through direct elections using the mixed-member proportional representation system. The members of the Federal Council represent and are appointed by the governments of the three federated states. The Efladian political system operates under a framework laid out in the 1954 constitution known as the Verfassung. Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both the Sænat and the Federal Council; the fundamental principles of the constitution, as expressed in the articles guaranteeing human dignity, the separation of powers, the federal structure, and the rule of law, are valid in perpetuity.

The President of Eflad, currently Dr. Gerno Efæn, is the head of state and invested primarily with representative responsibilities and powers. He is elected by the Föderaler Forum (Federal Forum), an institution consisting of the members of the Sænat and Föderaler Konzil and representatives from each of the federal states. The second-highest official in the Efladian order of precedence is the Sænatsführer ("Sænat leader"), who is elected by the Sænat and responsible for overseeing the daily sessions of the body. The third-highest official and the head of government is the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the President after being elected by the party or coalition with the most seats in the Sænat. The Prime Minister, currently Hanna Tirng, is the head of government and exercises executive power through their Cabinet.
