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 (Pacifica)|south Cordilia]]. Due to its vast valleys and rainforests it was seen as a resourceful 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.

Various Efladian tribes have inhabited the efladian mainland. A region called Eflaert was documented before 30 CE. In 950 BCE, the Kingdom of Freedort was established, consisting of several small duchies. During the same time - in 936 BCE- tribes in Lordgad, modern day Lorgder, founded the Duchy of Lordgad. Similarly the Kingdom of Sworen was established in the north in 929 BCE. | Various Efladian tribes have inhabited the efladian mainland. A region called Eflaert was documented before 30 CE.

The natives were soon enslaved and driven out of their homes to make place for the Almans. After several centuries of Alman rule, the Efladians decided to revolt against the Alman rule.

The | The earliest human remains have been found north-east of [[Reræ (Pacifica)|Reræ]] and were dated to 20 000 BC. THe remains are attributed to one of the migration waves from the Rainbow islands. Due to findings of other countries which date the remains back as early as 45 000 BCE, it is believed that there are older artefacts to be found on Efladian territory. The migration wave in 20 000 BCE introduced human life to uninhabited Eflad. Its warm climate all year around probably appealed to the early humans. The rainforests and their agrarian potential, as well as the nutrient-rich soil contributed to the settlement of Eflad. The first recorded settlement was what later became the city of Selpe. The oldest remains of this settlement are dated back to 12 000 BCE. The city was structured around the delta of the Sapol river, which meant many smaller settlements distributed around the river and on smaller islands on the river itself. First laws on Efladian soil were written on a bronze plaque in Selpe, approximately in the 16th century BCE, which has been preserved since. In the following centuries settlements on current Efladian territory were founded, independant from each other. After centuries of loose states and federations, in 950 BCE the [[Kingdom of Freedort]] was founded in Selpe. Its territory spread thorugh the entire length of the Sapol river and beyond. The crowning of the first king is well documented, although in an currently unintelligible langugae. Only several passages have been translated. The loss of native Efladian langugage occured during the colonial rule by the Almans, which actively supressed and destroyed native Efladian culture. Eflad is one of the few still known words. Not long after, in the city further east, the Duchy of Lordgad was founded in 936 BCE, dividing Eflad in two. The northern territories were actively pushing back against the Duchy, finally founding the Kingdom of Sworen in 929 BCE. | ||

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.

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.

Eflad (pronounced: /eflɑːd/, Low Alman: /eflɑːd/), 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). Eflad 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 resourceful 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 particularly prosperous part of Eflad was what today are Fredoast and Lorgder, due to their favorable position with Eflads largest rivers Sapol, Rite, Kerta and Reitë.
Various Efladian tribes have inhabited the efladian mainland. A region called Eflaert was documented before 30 CE. In 950 BCE, the Kingdom of Freedort was established, consisting of several small duchies. During the same time - in 936 BCE- tribes in Lordgad, modern day Lorgder, founded the Duchy of Lordgad. Similarly the Kingdom of Sworen was established in the north in 929 BCE. In the Treaty at the river joint the two kingdoms and the duchy decide to unite due to dangers abroad, founding the Kingdom of Eflad. After initial contact with the Alman Empire in the 14th century, the kingdom was first made dependent by the Almans and then colonised through an instalation of an Alman king without a lot of resistance due to the technological advantage of the colonizers. The natives were soon enslaved and driven out of their homes to make place for the Almans. After several centuries of Alman rule, the Efladians decided to revolt against the Alman rule. The coup d'etat resulted in the Efladian Revolution which ended the Alman rule in Eflad and established the Republic of Eflad.
History
Early history
The earliest human remains have been found north-east of Reræ and were dated to 20 000 BC. THe remains are attributed to one of the migration waves from the Rainbow islands. Due to findings of other countries which date the remains back as early as 45 000 BCE, it is believed that there are older artefacts to be found on Efladian territory. The migration wave in 20 000 BCE introduced human life to uninhabited Eflad. Its warm climate all year around probably appealed to the early humans.

First laws on Efladian soil were written on a bronze plaque in Selpe, approximately in the 16th century BCE, which has been preserved since. In the following centuries settlements on current Efladian territory were founded, independant from each other. After centuries of loose states and federations, in 950 BCE the Kingdom of Freedort was founded in Selpe. Its territory spread thorugh the entire length of the Sapol river and beyond. The crowning of the first king is well documented, although in an currently unintelligible langugae. Only several passages have been translated. The loss of native Efladian langugage occured during the colonial rule by the Almans, which actively supressed and destroyed native Efladian culture. Eflad is one of the few still known words. Not long after, in the city further east, the Duchy of Lordgad was founded in 936 BCE, dividing Eflad in two. The northern territories were actively pushing back against the Duchy, finally founding the Kingdom of Sworen in 929 BCE.
Efladian Revolution
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. WIP
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.
