Coup in Sessold

December 3533 - The Kalopian nationalist faction of the KMEO (the Central Majatran Revolutionary Organisation), which already controls the governments of the Mossavi and MInosasan Union Republics, took power in the Democratic Republic of Sessold through a coup d'etat. Yianni Viastis, with the support of his faction within the KMEO, violently overthrew the Sessoldian government and installed himself as the President of the Democratic Republic of Sessold, becoming the head of state of three of the five Union Republics that make up the Central Majatran Federation. The new Sessoldian government is now taking steps to impose Kalopian supremacy in Sessold, while also attempting to reverse the official recognition of Sessoldians as a separate ethnicity. The Kalopian faction has introduced a new constitution that will rename Sessold into the Democratic Republic of Kalopia-Sessold, and will remove the official status of the Sessoldian language as an official language of the Union Republic.

In reaction to this coup, the Union Republics of Wantuni and Siphina have announced their intention to secede from the increasingly Kalopian-dominated Central Majatran Federation, a move that is illegal under the current Federal constitution and is likely to be opposed by Central Majatra's armed forces.

Arbanians Secede from Siphina

February 3534 - In reaction to the Siphinan government's intention to secede from the Central Majatran Federation, and as a result of the new Siphinan constitution that declared Halawism the state religion of Siphina and established Siphinan as the only official language of the Union Republic, the legislative of the Autonomous Arbanian Democratic Republic unanimously voted for secession from Siphina. Claiming the entire former Autonomous Democratic Republic of the East Deltarians, the Arbanians proclaimed the Democratic Republic of East Deltaria as a sixth Union Republic of the Central Majatran Federation. The Arbanian government immediately sponsored the creation of a shepherd militia, to defend the young republic's separate status. The armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Siphina have begun an assault on East Deltaria, a republic whose separate existence is deemed unconstitutional by the Siphinan government.

Istochniaks Secede from East Deltaria

March 3534 - The Istochniak people, unhappy with their forceful incorporation into the East Deltarian Republic, formed their own Democratic Republic of Istochnia, seceding from the Arbanian-dominated East Deltarian government, which had in turn seceded from Siphina. The Democratic Republic of Istochnia proclaimed itself as a legitimate sixth Union Republic, a claim which is also rejected by the government of Siphina. The three-way conflict between Siphinans, Istochniaks, and Arbanians is likely to inspire further inter-ethnic and sectarian conflicts throughout Kalopia-Wantuni.

Siphina Secedes from Kalopia-Wantuni

April 3534 - Having announced its intention to secede from the Central Majatran Federation immediately after the coup that made Kalopian nationalist Yanni Viastis the president of three of the five Union Republics, and with the internal civil war between Siphina, East Deltaria, and Istochnia currently taking place on the territory of Siphina, the Democratic Republic of Siphina proclaimed its independence from the Central Majatran Federative Democratic Republic. The newly independent government has begun forming its own armed forces to secure the entire territory of Siphina and defend the young republic's independence; lacking the time and means to train and organize a force large enough to defend Siphina, the government is supplementing its militias with mercenaries. The Kalopian-dominated armed forces of the Central Majatran Federation have already attacked Siphina's territory in the border town of Hefesti, thus formally beginning the civil war.

Wantuni Secedes from Kalopia-Wantuni

May 3534 - This month, the Democratic Republic of Wantuni became the fourth breakaway republic of the Central Majatran Federation, when the Wantuni ekklesia proclaimed the Republic's secession from Kalopia-Wantuni and its status as a new independent nation. Taking the example of the Siphinan republic, for which Wantuni expressed its support, the Wantuni government is currently arming its citizens and forming its own armed forces. The Central Majatran military, currently engaged with the invasion of Siphina, has not taken action to suppress the Wantuni secession, allowing the new republic to quickly establish control over its entire claimed territory. The Turjak minority, however, fearing that without the constitutional guarantees granted by the Helios government their autonomy will be removed by the new government, have begun an armed revolt against Wantuni.

Deltaria demands peace, threatens war
May 3534

Holy Deltaria has deployed troops along the western border of the fracturing Central Majatran Federation, and has warned that unless the Central Majatran Federation accepts the seccession of their breakaway republics, Deltaria will intervene militarily. "The right to self-determination is unalienable to all peoples," warns Jindřich Sivák, the Voice of the Czar. "No power should be permitted to enforce their rule over unwilling subjects. That is unconscionable thuggery, and Deltaria will not permit it. The Central Majatran Federation is hereby ordered to cease all military movement and fully recognise the independence of these nascent republics. Failure to do so will result in Deltarian intervention, and peace under Deltarian terms."

Kafuristan recognizes Democratic Republic of Wantuni.

May 3534 - In an announcement on Kafuri state television, General Husain bin Shadi al-Saab, Chairman of the ruling Supreme Military Council, said he had signed a decree to recognise the Democratic Republic of Wantuni as an independent state. He instructed the Kafuri Foreign Ministry to open negotiations on formal diplomatic relations with the Wantuni Republic and called on other states to follow his country's example. General al-Saab said he had "taken into account the expression of free will by the Wantuni people" and accused the Central Majatran Federation of failing over many years to negotiate a peaceful settlement to the problems in their country. "This was no easy choice to make, but it is the sole chance of saving people's lives," he added.
- It is the rule in war, if ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if five times, attack them; if double, be able to divide them; if equal,engage them; if fewer, be able to evade them; if weaker, be able to avoid them.

Disintegration of the KMEO

May 3534 - In response to Deltarian pressure, the Central Majatran Federative Democratic Republic agreed to end all military attempts to forcefully return the breakaway republics into the fold of the Central Majatran Federation. The President of the Federation and Commander in Chief of Central Majatra's armed forces, Ibrahim Simonides, announced that Kalopia-Wantuni would disband her armed forces and make no military attempt to interfere with the right of self-determination of Central Majatra's various constituent peoples. This new decision was in no way popular with the dominant Kalopians, who are in control of the armed forces and much of the central government.

In an attempt to prevent the collapse of the Federation due to its demilitarization, Mihail Maniotis, a notable member of the Central Majatran Revolutionary Organization (KMEO), suggested a new constitutional arrangement at the 25st Congress of the KMEO, one that he deemed a Final Solution to all of Central Majatra's problems. Maniotis suggested that, in order to avoid the dominance of one ethnic faction over others in the CMF, the President of the Federation ought to be elected by a 21-member panel, whereby each of the seven ethnic factions of the KMEO is represented by three delegates. The motion, receiving much hostility from the Kalopian faction, which supported a more unitary organization and feared that Maniotis' suggestion would lead to factionalization, was eventually approved. Ibrahim Simonides was dismissed from his position as President of the Federation (OOC: yeah, I'll have early elections later on; just pretend there is no HoS in Kalopia-Wantuni), while the panel was set to elect the new Head of State of Central Majatra. Unfortunately, because each of the seven different factions tried to push for its own candidate to be elected President, there could be no common agreement. Ultimately, Maniotis' suggestion ended up further factionalizing the party, eliminating the last element keeping the Federation together.

Kalopia Secedes from Kalopia-Wantuni

July 3534 - The Democratic Republics of Kalopia-Mossavi, Kalopia-Minosasa, and Kalopia-Sessold, all ruled by Yanni Viastis and his Kalopian nationalist faction, have all simultaneously declared secession. The three republics immediately afterwards voted to be joined together as the Democratic Republic of Kalopia, bringing back a unitary Kalopian government for the first time since the Republic of Kalopia. This secession ultimately puts an end to the Central Majatran Federation, which can no longer claim any territory. The new Kalopian government has implemented a policy of what it terms "re-Kalopianization", a process of integrating the Sessoldian minority into the Kalopian ethnicity. This process includes, among others, forceful conversion of Ahmadis to the Theognosian Chuch, a ban on the Sessoldian dialect, and the prohibition of typically Sessoldian names. In response to this aggression, many Sessoldians are revolting against the Kalopian government, and the Siphinan and Wantuni republics have declared war on Kalopia. It seems that, in spite of Deltaria's efforts, war in Central Majatra could not be prevented.

Kafuri Troops Enter Wantuni to Help Put Down Unrising

May 3534 - Kafuristan dispatched forces to Wantuni in response to a call from the rulers of the Democratic Republic of Wantuni to help put down an armed revolt by the Turjak minority. About 30,000 Kafuri soldiers entered Wantuni to protect government facilities, the Minister of Defence, General Ra'd al-Zaman said. “They are the first wave of troops that will secure key government facilities and strategic points in Wantuni,” the General said. “The Wantuni government asked us to look at ways to help them to end the crisis and this is the initial phase. Wantuni will get whatever assistance it needs. It’s open-ended.”, General al-Zaman added. Upon crossing the Wantuni-Kafuri border, the Kafuri troops were greeted by thousands of Wantuni's waving Kafuri flags and chanting pro-Kafuri slogans like "Wantuni and Kafuristan are one" and "We sacrifice our souls and blood for you, oh General al-Sa'ab!".

Deltarian troops enter Siphina to safeguard the Republic
January 3535

Deltaria has authorised a force of 30,000 troops to enter the nascent Democratic Republic of Siphina and pacify the rebellious Istochniaks and Arbanians. Deltaria has condemned the belligerent actions of the so-called "shepherd militias", designating them as dangerous terrorist organisations and vowing to bring peace to the region. "Self-determination is not a right, it's a privilege", warns Jindřich Sivák, the Voice of the Czar. "Petty warlords simply cannot be allowed to raise illegal militias and terrorise the democratically elected government. That is unconscionable thuggery, and Deltaria will not permit it. To this end, Deltarian peacekeepers have been dispatched to ensure civility and rule of law in the struggling Democratic Republic of Siphina."

Proclamation of the Kalopian National Republic

Image

September 3534 -The three Kalopian republics, Minosasa, Mossavi, and Sessold, had been joined together, under the leadership of Yanni Viastis, as the Democratic Republic of Kalopia, whose claims did not extend beyond the borders of the three republics. This September, however, in response to the disintegration of the KMEO, the war with Siphina and Wantuni, and the rebellion of the Sessoldian minority, the government of Kalopia was officially reformed as the Kalopian National Republic (Kalopikí Ethnikí Dimokratía), explicitly grounded in Kalopian nationalism. The National Republic lays claim to the entire territory of Central Majatra, seeking to return the former Federation to the days of the Republic of Kalopia. Of the numerous breakaway republics, Kalopia is by far the strongest, controlling more territory and resources than all the others combined. Its position is, however, rather precarious. Devoid of the international recognition received by Siphina or Wantuni, Kalopia also has to deal with the Sessoldian rebellion, a hostile Kafuri minority, and internal opposition to Viastis' rule.

Siphina Supports Turjaks, War with Wantuni

January 3535 - With the Democratic Republic of Wantuni receiving the military support of Kafuristan in suppressing the Turjak rebellion, the government of Siphina has declared its support for the Turjaks in Wantuni, many of whom share their Halawite faith with the majority of Siphinans. The support granted by Siphina has prompted the Autonomous Turjak Democratic Republic to proclaim its secession from the Democratic Republic of Wantuni and to join the Democratic Republic of Siphina, while preserving its autonomy. This act brought war between the two erstwhile friendly republics.

In addition to Deltarian support, Siphina benefits from the aid of a large number of mercenary troops. Mehmet-Pasha Serhan, a Jakanian pasha of mixed Turjak, Siphinan, and Arbanian ancestry, is the commander of Siphina's mercenary forces. Having been given the permission to plunder any land they occupy, Mehmet-Pasha's troops grow by the day, as does their commitment and loyalty to their charismatic and capable commander. Mehmet-Pasha's current task is to aide the Turjak rebels in Wantuni, and secure Siphinan control over the area.

Mehmet-Pasha's Domains Grow

Image

August 3535 - The armies of Mehmet Pasha Serhan, the Commander of the Siphinan mercenary forces, have established full control over more than half of Wantuni. Already exercising military control over the southern third of Siphina's territory and quickly expanding in Wantuni, Mehmet-Pasha's domains are virtually independent, their nominal allegiance to Siphina notwithstanding. Proving himself a capable administrator in addition to his military skills, Mehmet-Pasha rules over what seems to be the only functioning government in the former Central Majatran Federation. Foreign observers have noted that the Pasha's uncompromising and at times brutal treatment of all rebels against his rule, as well as his largely successful attempts at restoring order in the territories he controls, marks him as the most suitable candidate for the reunification of all Kalopian-Wantuni.

Already mercenaries from throughout the continent are flocking to Mehmet-Pasha's armies, attracted by the prospect of gaining wealth and power in the newly conquered lands. The Jelbeks in particular are the most enthusiastic mercenaries of the Pasha, with thousands of them volunteering to fight under his flag. With this growing strength, Mehmet-Pasha is now in a position to directly move against the Kafuri troops currently fighting for Wantuni, the only significant force opposing his rising power.

Kalopia in Chaos

Image

December 3535 -As war rages in Siphina and Wantuni, the government of the Kalopian National Republic is facing numerous problems of its own. Apart from the revolting Sessoldians, opposed to Kalopia's attempts at forcefully integrating them into Kalopian society, many other citizens of the National Republic have taken arms against the dictatorial regime of Yanni Viastis. The Kalopian government, under significant pressure from these rebels, is unable to participate militarily in the conflict raging in Siphina and Wantuni, and internal opposition to the Viastis regime threatens to render the Kalopian government entirely paralyzed.

Wantuni Conquered

Image

November 3536 -After months of vicious fighting in mountainous Hondilton, Mehmet-Pasha's growing mercenary armies have managed to overrun the entire territory of the Democratic Republic of Wantuni. After Al-Kursiyy, the capital of Wantuni, was occupied by the Pasha's armies, the Wantuni government officially surrendered to Mehmet-Pasha, and implicitly to the Democratic Republic of Siphina. The Pasha however refused to hand over control over Wantuni and the other conquered territories to the Siphinan civilian government, instead proclaiming himself Beylerbey of Wantuni. Although he continues to nominally pledge allegiance to Siphina, his domain's military might is such that he may soon openly challenge the other remaining breakaway republics of Central Majatra, and establish himself as the sole ruler of Kalopia-Wantuni.

Kalopia Conquered; Central Majatran Beylerbeylik Proclaimed

Image
Mehmet-Pasha as Beylerbey

November 3539 - After Mehmet-Pasha Serhan's mercenary armies completely occupied Wantuni, his attention shifted towards the lands formally governed by the collapsing Kalopian National Republic. Taking advantage of the rebellions taking place in Kalopia, and with the aide of the discontent Sessoldian population, Mehmet-Pasha managed to conquer the entire territory of Kalopia after three years of warfare. The city of Helios, the capital of the Kalopian National Republic, and the former capital of the Central Majatran Federation, fell to Mehmet-Pasha's forces in September 3539. Upon entering the city, Mehmet-Pasha established Helios as the capital of his domains, and proclaimed himself the Beylerbey of Central Majatra, ending his formal submission to the government of the Democratic Republic of Siphina. Instead, Mehmet-Pasha proclaimed all of Central Majatra as a Beylerbeylik of the United Sultanate of Jakania, while also pledging submission to the Čestibor Sultan of Jakania as a vassal. The Central Majatran Beylerbeylik announced the beginning of negotiations that will bring Central Majatra into the Deltarian Empire as a Vassal State.
