History of the Dominion

The Dominion of Amazonian Beasts originated around the Amazon River, a major river on the primary island of Deka (OOC: Honshu). A primordial civilization developed there-very much South American in their characteristics and habits. The civilization, though, due to metal deposits across the Deka island chain (OOC: Japan), was able to prosper somewhat. Competition was virtually non-existant on the archipelago, and the First Amazonians flourished in a climate that bristled with animal life and plants. The Deka archipelego was a vibrant community of life.

The First Amazonians grew a very potent social civilization and a very detailed and complex religion. Polytheistic, the First Amazonian religion was passive and peaceful-in harmony with the abundant nature around. The First Amazonians lived first as community brothers, but second as farmers, hunters, and gatherers-they lived the long-sought pastoral ideal to its fullest. It was as close to peace as likely ever achieved on the planet-and then, it was taken away.

White expeditionary teams landed on the Deka archipelago in the year 1560, and discovered the world of the First Amazonians untainted by warfare and greed. However, the whites saw all that potential-and greed took their own eyes. They were able to exploit the polite attitudes of the First Amazonians, gaining information about the archipelago, city locations, and major weaknesses that white forces could exploit. They left after 6 months, with shiploads full of information to destroy the First Amazonian culture.

In 1562, a second landing-a full armada of naval ships, with tens of thousands of men-landed on Deka island. The First Amazonians treated the whites with friendliness-just like the previous time. However, this time the whites came with a secret weapon-clothing and cloth for trade, laced with smallpox. Whites had developed an immunity to smallpox (mostly), but it was a new shock to the First Amazonians-one that doomed them. Three days after the first greetings and exchanges, the effects began to show-the natives began to fall from the deadly disease soon after.

Then, entire populations began to fall. It was better than the whites could have expected-it was total chaos. The attack began as soon as over 87% of the native population had been infected, with a 74% fatality rate. The whites swept over the First Amazonians with lethality and swiftness-none were left standing in the early Blitzkreig. The First Amazonians were almost totally wiped out in the brutal slaughter. The population was vanquished.

White colonization began fast. The remaining First Amazonians that remained were quickly enslaved-and integrated into a society of greed, of desire, of lust, of fear. The whites-primarily of British and German descent, though also with French, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, and Greek roots-began flocking towards the verdant paradise-goaded on by promises of wealth and fortune at the flick of a hand by existing colonists. The population of the Deka island chain spiraled upwards uncontrollably-until the revenge of the First Amazonians came back.

The First Amazonian population, the lowest of society-even less than the Africans, free men who walked the archipelago-had some plagues of their own still running through the blood. It was a dormant stream of disease that had lasted fifty years before breaking out in 1608. It swept across the island chain, ransacking the white population-though not harming the First Amazonian slaves, or oddly enough, the Africans. However, the reactions by the whites was little more than savagery. Blaming the probem on the slaves-somewhat justifiably so-the First Amazonians-all remaining-were cut down like animals. The ethnicity ceased to exist.

The plague soon ceased, and life returned back to normal for the survivors-a 32% fatality rate amongst the colonists, a powerful threat. Deka island chain, oddly enough, was not a colonial organization-it was simply a seperate entity, remaining in the Pacific Ocean as a landmass that simply was there. The white nations and imperial organizations overlooked it, and the colonists there grew in size as immigrants came in-developing into a strong enough civilization. Natural resource deposits were mixed, but nature was abundant in provision.

As 1803 rolled around, the colonists got together to truly decide their own fate. In the colony-town of Amazonia, on the banks of the Amazon River, the Deka Covenant was signed-a pact that affirmed the nationality of the colonists. Rather than simply being whites and Africans on an island chain, they were now united-united as Amazonians in the newly-created Federation of Amazonian Beasts. It was a Federation that would last over 150 years.

The Federation cautiously played a hand as the world waxed and waned during the 1800s, focusing more on inward problems, though dealing with other nations in self-interest only. It turned inwards, though not isolationist-simply focusing on inside problems. The economy rolled along well, and the 19th century entirely was fairly uneventful and quiet for the Federation. The 20th century would bring about several eye-openers that would fail to wake the Federation in time to avoid doom.

In 1911, as the world tipped perilously close to World War I, the Federation experienced the first of three civil unrest periods. It was no revolution, but it was bad-a massive wave of rioting and protesting swept the nation, storming the streets, and occupying policing forces for weeks on end. It was the first call to the government of the Federation to start a system of lightening up on the people-but no such thing occured. Instead, the Federation began passing laws the restricted civil rights-but did not install a system to enforce a sense of fear.

In retrospect, this was the worst move the Federation could have made. It sparked even further resentment in a disgruntled nation...and underground movements began. A resistance movement called "Smothered Fire" began a terrorist campaign that would last until 1961. It took its toll immeditely beginning in its inception in 1915, as World War I began-three bombings blasted the congressional hall of the Federation. It took time to link it to a terror group-and the Smothered Fire hid well.

The Federation managed to avoid World War II as well, but the Smothered Fire in 1961 was directly responsible for causing a small-time revolt-that was crushed. However, the terror organization was found this time, and an inordinate amount of leaders killed-sparking even more resentment. This kind of inefficiency marked the mind of one Federation general, Kile Droma-who taught all his knowledge to his then-21 year old son, Kyp.

Kile died in 1972, but his dream did not. By this time, the Federation stretched from the original Deka archipelago to Formosa to the Hachin Island Chain (OOC: Philippines). However, 32 year old Kyp was more than unsatisfied with the battered and pathetic Federation-he wanted change. Kyp was the youngest ever elected to be a general in the military at 33-unprecendented, and absolutely bizarre. However, his tactical, strategic, and political mindset was anything but bizarre-it was fine-tuned.

A general's son, Kyp had learned warfare from an early age, and he was no stranger in the time of need. The Federation was finishing a costly fight for Sakhalin Island when Kyp struck-ransacking the city of Turtumba and blowing out the Federation presence. The local garrison-Turtumba was a heavy military city-quickly defected, and Turtumba-renamed Necropolis-became Droma's stronghold ever since. The war proceeded from there, and as soon as the Federation wrapped up Sakhalin, they turend all guns back at Droma.

However, despite Droma's cold, calculating intellect, the civilian population was overjoyed by the organized, powerful revolution-many flocked to his banner, and over 30% of the military too. The Federation had numbers, but the brightest and best had gone to the rebels-and Droma's group, calling itself the "Dominion", began a crusade to take back Amazonian Beasts as their own. A four-year struggle began, shedding millions of lives.

The turning point came at the Battle of Tierra Heights, on a hill overlooking the massive city of Tierra. Dominion tanks, coming in the night under a new moon, ripped through unsuspecting Federation lines in a quick attack-and then threw in forces after forces into blasting apart the Federation lines. In a three-day struggle, the Dominion came away victorious-and the Federation lost over 200,000 in a single battle. The rest was all downhill.

Amazonia itself was put under seige on July 12th, 1976, and lasted for two months. On September 13th, the leaders of the Federation and army leaders came out of the city in surrender-and were promptly mowed down by machine gun fire. The Dominion leadership stormed the city, and went on a rampage, looting, plundering, and setting fires as the militayr seigers were let in. Amazonia was ruined-but it wouldn't stay that way.

On the same day, Droma pronounced himself Emperor-for life, to wildly enthusiastic throngs in nearly every city except the capital. Droma's rule proved harsh, but unlike the Federation, the dictator had the power to back it up. The army was expanded, the military made into a fiersome unit. The first ten years were marked by mysterious disappearances and the presence of the secret police on every street corner. It was dark days, but better times were ahead.

As Droma aged, he began to turn around some of his own policy-though never renounced his own right to rule. A legislative body was approved-the Imperial Senate-and a political executive branch established-headed by the Chancellor and his second, the Viceroy. However, Imperial power was still the forerunner-the most powerful wield. Droma became more of a benevolent ruler in the new Imperial democracy-and territorial gains became harder to see as the world cooled.

Now, as Droma ages, the Dominion faces a potential time of crisis coming-a time when the revolutionary leader may find his own time end, and a new to come to succeed him. Who it will be is unknown, but five apprentices stand below him-five unrivaled in tactical, strategical, political, social, and physical ability. They are vying for his spot once Droma's thread of life is cut-and who ascends is still to be found.

Return Address to the Kingdom of Animarnia

We are thankful for the glamourous accomdations in the Kingdom of Animarnia. Though the Dominion doesn't offer the same sort of accomodation, we would be honored to open up an Animarnian embassy in Amazonia and an Animarnian consulate in Talasea, a far nicer and more open city than either of our capitals.

-Dominion Foreign Affairs

Official Communication from Droskianishk

The nation of Droskianishk would like to extend a hand of friendship to the nation of Amazonian Beasts. Your nation has an embassy awaiting in within the capital City of Drosk. It is our hope that over time our two nations may become close and be able to work together economically and militarily.


Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Kalied

To The Honourable Kyp Droma,

We consider your country as a friend we want, and that is why we invited you to the Meeting of Leaders in our country - it was a diplomatic gesture so we can learn more about our close neighbouring island nation and discuss a possible alliance. However, those discussions are for then, and in this letter we would like to offer you can embassy in the Imperial Capital of Duska, and possibly a consulate in Jabero if you wish, whilst we would like to request an embassy in Amazonia.

- HRH King Nicolas R. Dubios,
Supreme Monarch and Ruler of The Honakon Empire
- Mrs. Catherine Kult,
Advisor for Foreign Affairs of The Honakon Empire


.

To The Honourable Kyp Droma,

We wish to establish a NAP, and an economic alliance with your nation, we believe that our economic strength can benefit us both immensely, with that in mind we wish to have not only an economic alliance, but a military alliance slo. We also wish to establish an embassy in Amazonia, and you are welcome to establish one in San Diego.

President Jack R. Arnold
Calizorinstan

To the DoAB:

The Schroeder Corporation would like to establish itself within your fine nation, and we are seeking the possibility of possible investment in one another. We are able to export many products, from civilian pharmeceuticals and oil to military products like uranium, mercenaries and possibly some of our Vektor APU powered armor units. You may visit our main page for more information. Thank you, and have a nice day.

-Armond Spee, CEO of Schroeder Corp.

Official Corbournnian Communique

Leader Jean-Marie DuBois has expressed his interest in establishing an embassy in Necropolis with a consulate in Aquala. In return, he can offer you an embassy in Corbournne (RL Paris) with a consulate in Trecoste. (RL Marseilles)

Addressed to the Nation of Droskianishk

We will promptly send out an ambassadorial corps to the city of Drosk, and will gladly open up an embassy for Droskianishk ambassadors and foreign affairs personnel in Amazonia.

-Dominion Foreign Affairs Department


Addressed to the Honakon Empire

While things go underway at the conference, the Dominion would be glad to accept the consulate and embassy inside the Empire, and will gladly open an embassy in Amazonia to house a foreign affairs team of Honakon officials and ambassadors.

-Dominion Foreign Affairs Department


Addressed to the Confederate States of Calizorinstan

The Dominion is not yet ready for either an economic alliance or military alliance with the Confederate States, particularly in regard to the situation revolving the United Socialist States of Marxikhan. We will sign a conditional NAP, in which the violation of the terms by allies of both our nations that drag either nation into conflict with the other would negate the NAP-but not a full-scale pact without stipulations.

-Dominion Foreign Affairs Department


Addressed to the Schroeder Corporation

The Dominion will happily allow the Corporation to invest in Amazonia-after all, it increases revenue and profit here in the Dominion. While the Dominion at the moment has little need for excess military wares-it is one of the premier military technological powers-there are plenty of non-military supplies that we could certainly use.

-Dominion Foreign Affairs and Economics Departments


Addressed to the Corbournnian Realm

The embassy and consulate, in Necropolis and Aquala, respectively, are confirmed, and the Dominion will be glad to accept the embassy in Corbournne and consulate in Trecoste.

Diplomatic note to The Dominion of Amazonian Beasts

It is with great pleasure that I greet our neighbors to the South-East. Our government, only recently formed is focused on turning Carloginias into Europe's richest country. Because of this, we offer the Dominion an embassy in Carloginias City and offer an economic pact on Carloginian Oil and strategic minerals. President Harselav's plan to 'industrialize' Siberia will allow for the exchange of goods between our two nations with ease as it is a short ferry ride away to your sacred homeland. I hope you will consider our offer

Most sincerely,

Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Clide Nirytz

Official Reply to the Nation of Carloginias

The Dominion will be more than happy to accept an embassy in Carloginias City, and offers Carloginias an embassy in Amazonia. As for economic deals, the Dominion will gladly exchange in sorts of economic trade deals or pacts to bring about free-handed economic exchange between our two nations, and eventually over the entire Pacific Sphere.
