The Amarian Combine

The Amarian Combine is a cenfederation of the three Sonhelian states of North Umetuč, Alftheimn and Aucuses. Of the three constituents, North Umetuč has always been the most influential politically and culturally. The Combine was born in 2405 after the centralization of the Amarianist Economic Bloc (founded in 2404) with the signing of the Amaraian Constitution by the constituent states in the Umetučite capital, Tålakjemeqa.

ooc: ok so the Amarian Combine is not really a consisten or coherent creation and the world of Sonhel itself was compeltely redesigned in the in-game year 2409 (a redesign which i actually proposed and carried on)

Anyway this blog is for me to archive and share maps, lore, and memes about Old Sonhel and the Amarian Combine :3

Even before the annexation of Matčaka, the NCH had started to establish diplomatic relations with the other nations of Sonhel. This is the period in which the first contacts with the kitkrasian amarian state of Alftheimn (formerly Amaria) began. However, more relevant for the near future are the nations of the SR of Saxet and the Lichrenean Empire.

In the east Lichrene, a fascist, xenophobic and genocidal ethnostate, infested the south sea, threatening not only the NCH but every state they could reach by ship. On the opposite side of the spectrum: The Socialist Republic of Saxet. Saxet was a naval power with a strong militaristic culture and a lot of money to throw away.

At the time of the establishment of the NCH, these two military juggernauts were starting to get on each other's nerves. Most nations, fearing what both of these monsters could do, decided to either mantain a neutral stance or seek the protection of one of them. The NCH, regardless of its hate for commies, decided to side with Saxet due to its interests in keeping Lichrene as small and weak as possible. Along with several other nations, Saxet founded the South Sea Battling Group, while LIchrene founded the Iron Entante.

These two military alliances were pretty much just to prepare for the inevitable war that would break between these two blocks. However the SSBG had a significant impact on the NCH on a cultural level as well. Being in constant contact with several democratic nations facilitated the spread of more liberal ideas. These led to the first elections in the NCH, which took place in 2401, and to the formation of several parties with very different political views (unheard of in Umetuč).

In the spring of 2400, the Confederation of Miše collapsed. This cathastrophic event was inevitable and many analysts had predicted it for a long time. Miše was home of several opposing groups, the major ones were the ethnic Dwty majority (discendent of early syrovohan colonizers and speakers of a Pallmellic language)...

... and the Tokagebač population that inhabited the south areas and the coast of the country. After a violent protest, Tokagebač insurrectionists managed to greak into the government builing of Miše and publically execute all of the government officials (with the help of NCH Secret Serices). The resulting crisis resulted in the complete collapse of the Confederation of the annexation of its former capital, Matčaka, by the NCH.

This is Original Sonhel, aka The First World...

... and this region of the South Sea is where the amarian story begins.

Contrary to popular belief, the Amarian Republic is not the predecessor state of The Combine. The amarian people have their humble roots in the northern regions of the Umetuč Island, inside the borders of what will be called The United Heptamates of Greater Ngenceba, C'aarllaac & Xirakekunnae.

The United Heptamates (aka NCH) were founded in 2400, after several decades of infighting, civil war, ethnic cleansing and political persecutions carried out by leader of the Work & Prosperity Party Gamabhat Mpodo (written "Gamabrat B̨odo" after the reform).

Regardless of the bloody origin of the country and its deeply xenophobic and bigot culture, B̨odo's NCH was extremely tranquil and carried out a freidnly and neutral stance in foreign politics.

Under B̨odo the first railway network began construction between the february and march of 2400, military operations were issued to enlarge the country's borders eastwards and the first commercial pacts with Morich (resources exports) and Kanbon (weapons imports) were signed.
