Shaman Viceroy: Ono Carikai
Area Total: 4,190,408 km²
Water (%): 9%
Population: 149,153,000
GDP (PPP): $225 billion
Currency: Sudekyan Royal(SR)
Independence: oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world - at least 2,000 years
Brief Overview:
Unique among African countries, the ancient Sudekyan monarchy maintained its freedom from colonial rule with the exception of the 1936-41 Italian occupation during World War II. In 1974, a military junta, the Derg, deposed Emperor Haile Selassie (who had ruled since 1930) and established a socialist state. Torn by bloody coups, uprisings, wide-scale drought, and massive refugee problems, the regime was finally toppled in 1991 by a coalition of shamanistic forces, the Sudekyan People's Shamanistic Front (SPSF). A return to monarchy was adopted in 1994, and Sudeth-Kya first Shaman King was crowned in 1995.
With the return of monarchy, Sudeth-Kya saw many of its social issues and inner conflicts subside, due in great part to King Amunea Gamunda's efforts to steer the nation towards a reawakening of its spiritual past. Most of the ancient cities and temples were revitalized during the late 90's and dignity returned to the land.
Economically, Sudeth-Kya relies on food production and basic resources exports. It has abandoned the cultivation of qat and oilseeds and increased its production of sugar-cane and coffee. King Amunea Gamunda, realizing the potential for sugar-cane as a bio-fuel, has plans to begin large scale production of ethanol from sugar-cane in an effort to boost export revenues.
Deforestation and overgrazing were strictly banned by the new monarchy, however these issues are not yet fully resolved. The Shaman Ecological Front(SEF) has been campaigning fiercely across the most remote areas of the nation, where a return to the spiritual past has been fought against by certain fringe groups who earn a living from black market activities such as poaching and illegal logging. Conflicts between the SEF and the Tribesman for Capitalism Now(TCN) are common near the border with Eritrea.
Sudekyan military is largely comprised of small divisions of guerilla fighters(Royal Shaman Force) equiped with small arms and mobile anti-air units. These divisions are specifically trained for wars of attrition and sabotage against potential attacking nations. However, in the past 3 years, the RSF also finds itself involved in small regional conflicts against the Sudekyan Anti-Reptilian League(SARL), a fringe group which denounces the new King as the puppet of an alien race of reptiles.
Overall, the monarchy, realizing the shortcomings of its undersized military, has chosen to rely on diplomacy and a good neighboor policy. Only a minor percentage of GDP is spent on maintaining the RSF, while a more substantial percentage of GDP is spent erecting Totems around the Sudekyan borders. Most citizens believe these are powerful prevention systems against would be attackers.
