Grenedene

Grenedene, officially the Peoples Republic of Grenedene, (Grenedeneish: An Fearrepublick Grenedene / An Ꝼeaꞃꞃepublick Ᵹꞃeneꝺene) is a Country on the Continent of Hatar. Established after the Poppy Revolutions in the year 1936, which overthrew the Government of the Kingdom of Grenedene and ended the long rule of the House of Muire. Grenendene is the home of two major ethnic groups, the Grenedeneish People and the Tyrdeneish People, and one of the places most effected by the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution. Grenedene has a population 10,400,100, with its capital and most populous city being Eagorm.

Defined in the nation's constitution as well as its political theory as a Republic based on the Principles of "Fiorsosializmus", or True Socialism, a form of which seeks to bring forth a  republic which provides for their people, however, in practice the nation is extremely lenient with its socialist policies, favoring  as a means to help grow an economy, and a kind of market socialism which is so lenient that the nation at times has been described as a simple social democracy during the more recent years of the 21st century, nonetheless the nation has that the concept of Private Property is one that is not present and never shall be in the state, and maintains that all objects belonging to the individual are Personal Proprty. The nation has been described by outsiders in its political sphere as a dominant party democracy, as the Grenedeneish Peoples' League of True Socialists has never lost an election and has been maintained the holders of the Government, otherwise known as the Fearwitten since 1938.

Made a notable state by the industrial advancements during the period of the Industrial Revolution, Grenedene was, and is still known for the nation's massive coal reserves, something which has allowed for the nation to expand as a minor power in the region, and out of complete irrelevance, where the combination of a massive urbanization process, alongside years of industrial manufacturing turned the nation into a modern state by the turn of the 20th century, and a massive area for the production of textiles and machine parts.

Etymology
The name Grenedene came from two words of the Grenedeneish Language during the initial Greenvalic Invasions, where the words grene, which means green, and dene, which means valley, were combined to describe the valley in which they stood, in the areas where Tyrtongue is the spoken language, the nation is known as Tyrdene, although this is used more often to describe the modern area where Tyrtongue is spoken, it translates roughly to the "The Land of the Valley".

Prehistory
The earliest inhabitants of the area known modernly as Grenedene where those who travelled from the south to the northern area around Grenedene, it is extremely difficult to place when human inhabitation first began in the region, however it can be assumed that the first who came the region were ancestors to who would eventually become the speakers of Tyrtongue, they would settle in the valleys near the mountains, where to this day cave paintings as well as early arrowheads and spears have been found.

Ancient History
Upon the clearing of land in a way that made it so that the early people of Grenedene were able to begin moving around freely, the Tyrdeneish tribes began organizing themselves and establishing semi-organized societies, with Tyrdeneish men who owned more cattle than others being able to subject others to higher trade, and to gather together into further organized structures, which would eventually form the Tyrdeneish Clans, who themselves had control over minor entities, small villages and hamlets which developed slowly into areas of control, and later on into Hillfort settlements, filled with the so-called Chief of the area, his retinue, and his clan.

The Clans fought over many different areas and issues, and began to establish for themselves basic ideas, the strongest Chief in a County area would make himself King of the County, while the King's of larger areas around the size of a province would make themselves Over-Kings, and the highest King in the entirety of Tyrdene would title himself the, and, if approved by a Druid council, could be given the title High King, and could be crowned at the Roch an Ben Bothan.

Greenvalic Invasion
The Greenvalic Invasions was a period of massive change, the Greenvalic people, a seafaring people of a rather muddled background. Seemingly coming from Gothic roots, the Greenvalic People invaded the Tyrdeneish area, naming their chunk of it Grenedene, they immediately took over much of the coastal area with a more advanced tactical awareness for fighting and a similar ferocity to the Tyrdeneish, who engaged in several wars with the other which resulted in very little changes other than weakening the entire area.

The Grenedeneish Thegnes and Tyrdenish Iarla were both subject to an almost immediate invasion, and a longstanding period of conquering, where the area traded hands several times prior to the 1470's, the first invasion by [NATION] resulted in the capture of almost all cities and towns which had been developed over the past centuries other than the Roch an Ben Bothan.

Emergence of Nationhood
After the collapse of several nations which had taken Grenedene, the area split along ethnic lines, the Tyrdeneish ethnic community split into the 4 Tyrdeneish Kingdoms, Tyrtuaisceart, Tyrmeá, Tyrfianna, and Teorainntheas, all of which were regions ruled by Over-Kings who were heavilly respected members of there communities, while the Grenedeneish areas split into 6 Grenedeneish Kingdoms forming in the vale, Ēastsoux, Westsoux, Carricia, Suðsoux, and Cāseresoux, all of which were major areas headed by Petty King's who were backed by their Thegnes.

All of the Kingdoms were rather different in their goals, and both wanted to primarily unite their ethnic groups so they could wage war on the other, however they all remained distasteful towards the foreign occupation of many of their coastal regions, and that is something which drove the states together, many felt humiliated, and the Grenedeneish Lords who were bordering the coastline were the most threatened, with the majority of them wanting to reclaim what they believed was stolen from them.

By the year 1475, tensions were high, and the entire region was feeling threatened due to outside interference in the internal affairs of much of the nations, the Grenedenish Lords, with their own capabilities, as well as some Tyrdenish Lords who rebelled from the main group who stood against any unification, worked together to establish a Kingdom independent of foreign Rule, known as the Cyningtūm Grenedene, under their first Monarch, Sæn dal Carrick, who was the conquering lord who brought Westsoux, Suðsoux, and Cāseresoux, under his rule with a mix of force and peaceful mechanics primarilly using succession, and was selected due to his skill, and his prowess, this King, known as An Fannerthegne in his own country, and known by the anglicized name John of Carrick to much of the rest of the world.

Sæn I of the Kingdom of Grenedene was coronated as the monarch on the Roch an Ben Bothan, and immediately began the process of bringing a unified nation together, forming Primogeniture as the primary means of succession, removing any place of the lords in the succession process, and streamlining all state processes within the Kingdom, and begining a generation long opperaton to lower the power of the lords, something which would in the end prove itself to be unsuccessful and result in the deposition of the Carrick Dynasty.

Early Modern History
After Sæn I was made monarch of the Kingdom, many Kings came about through the succession, most of them not very notable in the nation other than the King Osƿeald I, who established the first standing army for the nation, as well as made a series of promises which the King was required to maintain while reigning as monarch, which would be part of the King's oath, and the King Æthalstan II, who organized the first economic banks of the nation that focused on developing the capital city as a whole and introducing any methods that it could which could transform the city of Eagorm into one truly worthy of being a capital.

In 1658, however, other events began, as Sæn III, the King began ordering the conversion of several areas in Tyrdene which still practiced their old polytheistic faith, this went against promises made by Osƿeald I during said King's reign, where the Tyrdeneish leadership were the only figures allowed to make decisions relating to the religion of their region, immediately the Tyrdeneish rose in what was known as the Early Rising, shortly followed by the Grenedeneish, who were sick of the position of King Sæn III on foreign trade, and his insistence on high tariffs which left the ports of the nation empty of merchants.

In 1658, as such, a Civil War broke out, one where the Grenedensih Rebels were able to take the throne and hand it to the House of Muire, a house of mixed ancestry that promised to give away some powers to an elected Parliament, and was seen as a house that was better accepted by both ethnic groups. The House of Carrick was not exterminated, however was forced back to being only in Westsoux, with Sæn III being executed in the first case of regicide in the nations history.

Late Modern History to Contemporary Times
The Kingdom of Grenedene did not have many major developments after the 1658 deposition of the Carrick Dynasty, however, and time passed mostly stably, however, the nation was hit massively by the industrial revolution.

While Grenedene was a later player, not initially involved in the water based factories which came first during the earliest periods of the industrial revolutions, Grenedene was quick to advance as the steam engine became a more common part of the revolution, and the industrial revolution brought major changes to the people, rapid urbanization, rapid industrial development, and rapid economic growth that changed the lifestyle of the entire nation in a way that was extremely hard for the average citizen, most of whom had been farmers, to adapt to, and it was this that laid the foundation to the eventual social changes which would come later on, as the nobility dominated industries began the change life as many had known it.

The nation benefited heavily from the Industrial Revolution, becoming a large scale trading port which despite its small size managed to bring in significant gains for the nation, however, wealth inequality reigned supreme, and the Parliament was not considered helpful to the plight of the people, composed of the Teach na Ariostokranach and the Teach na Tiarn, Thegnes, und Herr, which means House of Aristocrats and House of Lords and Sirs, the Parliament was noted for being extremely conservative in nature and not welcoming to many kinds of social change.

In 1916, a large swath of citizenry successfully protested and strike for a government which granted Representation for the commoners of the nation, however this government only came in the formation of a third house, the Teach na Churla, which was given many delegates, with the power of 5 Votes of the Churla’s, equaling 1 vote of Aristocrats, which in turn would take 5 to equal a vote of a Lord, meaning that it would take 25 Churla’s to equal one Tiarna or Thegne, something that resulted in major social unrest, and considering that the Teach na Churla had a wide arrangement of ideologies, it was difficult for them to properly organize to beat the other two houses.

In 1928, This resulted in the beginning of the Poppy Revolutions, the first of which was done to equalize the vote, and eliminate the House of Aristocrats, primarily a rural uprising it also was done to guarantee the civil rights of Women, and to demand a constitution, which was given as a Replacement to the former Cyng’s Kartoir which limited the power of the Monarch in 1658. The Constitution reformed Parliament to make a Teach na Tiarna and Teach na Churla und Aristokranach, which unified the Aristocrats and the Peasants, allowing for them to win in some votes.

However still the Lords held up the Government and enforced monarchist ideals onto the state, with the Lords having a singular political party ruling over it, the Cyng’s Liga, while the other House was dominated by many parties which changed hands over the next decade.

In 1936, the minor Parties known as the Social Democratic League, the Peoples Working League, the Independent Democratic Labor Party, the Democratic Labor Party, and the Labor Party, alongside the dominant Socialist Party of Grenedene, staged a union protest and faced crackdown by the Royal Gendarmerie, otherwise known as the “Reudhcauttenach” or “Redcoat” which rode horses onto the main citizen square known as “Kartoir Point” in the capital city.



The event resulted in the death of 27, including the religious leader Reverend Shoimnaruck dal Eagorm.

Almost immediately another revolt began, lead by the now unified Grenedenach Fear Fiorsosializtach Liga, known also as the Grenedeneish Peoples’ League for True Socialism or, more commonly and accurately the Grenedeneish Peoples' League of True Socialists, who formed the Grenedenach Republickanach Airm, otherwise known as the Grendeneish Republican Army

Two years later, after a brutal war which resulted in the deaths of thousands, the devastation much of Grenedene's cities, and the collapse of local authority in much of the nation, the Socialists and Republicans won, forming the New Peoples’ Republic in 1938 after the deposition and exile of the former Royal Family.

After that, the GFFL, the abbreviation for the Peoples’ League of True Socialists, began the process of forming a new socialist republic, establishing the Fearwitten, or Peoples Council.

The rule of the GFFL saw a major rise in quality of life in the Cities, and a stark effort of collectivization in the Rural Parts of the Country, something which failed tremendously, leading to a year long famine during 1940 and the death of approximately 6,000 People.

The regime initially had a serious amount of developments that were widely popular, and some that were very unpopular, especially among the Tyrdeneish population, education and literacy has skyrocketed, and healthcare became more available, however many freedoms guaranteed in the constitution found themselves being unacknowledged by the government who acted several times against its regulations when it came to the freedoms of the people

The Republic, after the first few years of GFFL rule began to develop more stably, not long after the Dal Marrick government, the first of the Republic, the Dalsmid Government came to power, an extremely powerful one which began the process of cleaning up more radical elements of the Liga, and cleaning up the country proper with the purpose of making it more friendly to tourism as well as a more popular destination for those who sought to move to the nation, he revitalized the Republican Army, established a information policing service, and seen as quite possibly the most positive influential figure of the 20th Century.

After his long 20 years of Government, the four term Dal Ballynary government, lead by the former Deputy Tacyn of the Republic, Cathal Dal Ballynary who worked directly alongside Tacyn Dalsmid came to power in 1964, working primarily on fixing the economic parts of the nation which were in deficit, such as the waning rail industry and the air industries, which suffered under the Dalsmid Government and its focus on the perfection of workers rights, Dal Ballynary's Government saw the first strikes and mass action of the Republic, with unrest reaching massive amounts in the Tyrdene Region, resulting in it being granted a Governing structure.

After the Dal Ballynary Tacynship, the then 60 year old Athelstan Dal Eagorm, a Minister of the Foreign Office for former Tacyn Dalsmid had a Government, 16 years of what was popularly considered repressive True Socialist policies, massive army and navy upgrades, and notably, the banning of a "Counter-Revolutionary" Liberal party and many actions considered further to the left considered acceptable by the GFFL, actions which did not fit the protégé of Dalsmid, these actions resulted in his removal from power and replacement, which resulted in the liberalization of the GFFL, and the liberalization of elections which began to allow satellite parties to run with real chances of success and majority in some areas.

The GFFL still maintains its role as the dominant party of the Fearwitten, every Tacyn since Dal Eagorm, notably Dal Mantūn until 2008, Dal Neill until 2016, Dal Padraig until 2020, and since then, the Tacynship of Oswald Aethalstan Dalhun has seen made effects on the country, none of which have impressed the GFFL party leadership, whos till attempts to find a good and strong leader for their government, however recent years have shown rising popularity in political parties non-affiliated to the GFFL.

The Region of Tyrdene, which had by that point gained a form of home rule, in 2014 held an independence referendum which was described as a "once in a life time opportunity" with it being defeated against it by a middling margin, while in the rest of the country there has been a massive change in the standard of life, which has been described as the effects of a long standing recession, with unemployment reaching rates not seen in this century within Grenedene, as the nation attempts to regain its balance after years of negligence in preparation, with civilian trust in the state going to levels not seen before in in the Peoples Republic.

The Fearwitten
The Peoples Council of Grenedene, otherwise known as the Fearwitten is the legislature of the nation, formed of two houses, the Great Peoples Council of the Republic, known in Grenedeneish as the Mor Fearwitten, which functions as a lower house representing the majority without care for constituency or belonging which one may hold to their constituency, and the Great State Council, or the Mor Staitwitten, which focusses on the issues raised by the departments and states of the Republic.

Both Councils are headed by the Great Council of the Republic or Mor Witten, which consists of the speakers of both house, both of the Premiers of the houses, the Leader of the government, the GFFL party whip, all of which lead to the Tacynwitten or Tacyn's Council, which is the leaders of the government who represent the heads of offices and ministries, as well as the heads of committees, and all of which are under the Tacyn, who is the head of government and head of state for the entire nation.

Recently, Grenedene has faced a massive amount of stress when it comes to the independence of the Tyrtongue parts of the nation, and this has resulted in Tyrdene gaining its own Council, known as the Dail Tyrdene, which has been a place of extreme tension for the GFFL, which has had to face the rise of many different political parties in the government which fight over rule of nation.

The Grenedenish League of True Socialists
Organized out of several political parties prior to the begining of the Poppy Revolutions in earnest the Grenedeneish Peoples' League of True Socialists or Grenedenach Fear Fiorsosializtach Liga is a left wing party which has dominated the nation, have not lost the Government for the entire existence of the Republic, the party practices an ideology known as "Fiorsosializmus", or True Socialism, which seeks to found a utopian state for the people of Grenedene.

The GFFL as it is abbreviated has struggled to find a position for itself and has almost always sat around the center of the classical socialist schools of the nation, the GFFL however maintains its level of popularity that it has found for itself since the foundation of the League, most of those who run against the state until recently ran for the satellite parties of the GFFL, however, in recent times that GFFL has had to face off against real antagonistic opposition, who continue to do better in polls, and, while not on the level of the GFFL, do threaten to change the balance of power.

The GFFL is ran through a Party Congress, which selects people who it sees fit to be the leader through party elections where a Tacyn elect is chosen by the card-carrying members of the League, who would be confirmed by the actual Fearwitten of the Republic.

Countries of the Republic
In Grenedene, there is considered to be two countries, both of which are officially equal, these countries are Tyrdene and Grenedene, with Grenedene being a property of the federal government as a whole, while Tyrdene is given its own Government under the form of a home rule Parliament, both of the countries are known officially as the Socialist Republic of Grenedene, and the Socialist Republic of Tyrdene respectively.

Departments of the Republic
Grenedene is cut into several different departments, in the nation as a whole there is 40, all of which elect three different representatives, and all of those representatives act as members of the Mor Staitwitten.

Military
The Military of the Peoples Republic of Grenedene is formed of the Grenedeneish Republican Army, or Grenedenach Republickanach Airm, which upon its foundation during the 1936 Revolution has functioned with the sole purpose of ensuring that the Republic is properly defended, the Republican Army is headed by the GRAW, or Grenedenach Republickanach Airm Witten, which translates to the Grenedeneish Republican Army Council.

The GRA is formed of the Grenedeneish Republican Army Land Forces, the Grenedeneish Republican Army Air Forces, and the Grenedeneish Republican Army Naval Forces, as well as the Grenedeneish Republican Army Cybertechnology and Security Forces, which was formerly subservient to the Air Forces.

Recruitment in the Army is limited to those 18-50, with men and women both being expected to serve the nation should a time of war demand it, conscription is not very common in the Army, and that can be found in the translation of the first rank of the Army, Volunteer. Rank and service limitations between men and women, and bans on the service of non cis-gendered persons were lifted by the year 2015.

Economy
The economy of Grenedene is one primarily based around its industrial output and agricultural efforts which both provide for the growing population, the Government has repeatedly stated that this is part of state policy and done with the purpose of making a cycle of cooperation between agriculture and industry.

The economy follows a market socialist structure, allowing for the free trade of goods along the market from personal businesses, with the state making necessary barriers of entry and restrictions disallowing the formation of truly privately owned companies or organization.

In Grenedene, the many who still work in factories are given many privileges and economic supports, with the Government allowing for the formation of independent unions so long as they submitted themselves to the major national ones.

Workers in factories are payed a guaranteed wage based on need and ability, the same is done on what is left of the collective farms of the country, although on a lighter basis as the Workers have control over a personal portion of their goods.

The government states that it works to provide for the people suitable welfare for all citizens of the, and does provide free healthcare and education, with other guarantees being a five day work week, reasonable hours not exceeding 9, and free public transport for the disabled or pregnant women.

Property
Property in the Republic comes in the form of personal property, and public property, personal property is that which belongs to the individual, and his or her family, and cannot cannot be taken without express permission.

Public property is property belonging to the public, and consists of all government land which serves a public purpose.

There is also state property, property belongings entirely to the state and its services, this property is rare and consists primarily of property that the state perceives as required for state safety.

Organization
Organization of the economy in Grenedene is done primarily through state ran public cooperatives and corporations, that primarily show their face on the world stage in international trade, and aren't very developed or involved by domestic affairs outside of the transit of domestic goods.

Company structure is primarily decided by state entities in charge of the companies, who are allowed to establish any roles or committees that they deem fit for the facility or company in general.

Education
Education in the Republic is free and compulsory, formed of a Primary school, Secondary school, and higher education section.

Education is seen as relatively similar in style and curriculum nationwide, with a minor changes depending primarily on your country of residence.

Education is defined by the major STEM subjects as well as art and the humanities, STEM is the primary interest of the education facilities and the arts remain very strict in terms of budget and styles involved in the curriculum which primarily focus on recreating reality.

Demographics
With a population of 10,400,100, the Peoples Republic of Grenedene is a nation of a much smaller caliber than many large states, its population is rather balanced in terms of men and women with a population gap with a slight female lead, the population remained and encouraged rates lowered slowly under the early socialist government, which began prioritizing the foundation of the so-called "Fearmeagth", which means Peoples Family, which is effectively an idealistic family of 4, which is a major change from the massive scale industrial families which existed prior to the revolutions, this came as a response to growing fears of a population growing in a way where jobs may not be available to all citizens of the nation, and from a birthrate which at that time showed men growing as the majority, something which the government feared would cause societal collapse if it were to continue in a way that made it untenable.

Families that were too large, mostly those with more than six children had to contribute slightly more to taxation for every child that they put through the education system based upon the ability and needs of the citizen, a tax which was lower than the cost of not having any children at all, but was still known to be enforced to keep the nation at a rate that was stable.

In 1964, the government began to attempt to influence the population in the other way, which resulted in a boom by the 80's bringing the population of 8 million to a rate comparable to the modern numbers of the population.

The nation is very biased towards the young side, with older people facing many later life illnesses primarily coming from the abuse of industry and mines, putting the majority of the population being high on the younger end, middling at the middle, and low at the top, in an almost triangle structure of population, birthrates within the nation are rather high, however are expected to become much lower by the 2040's as a result of social development and changes within the nation, and the devaluation of marriage in many parts of the internet using, highly educated population.

Languages
In Grenedene, there are two officially recognized languages, these are Grenedeneish and Tyrdeneish, both of which loan massively from each other in terms of the pronunciation, words themselves, and spelling, however, Tyrdeneish is an older language that uses far older words with methods which may not be obvious at first. Until 1964, all children were expected to learn Grenedeneish in schools, however after Governmental reform which gave further recognition to the People of Grenedene and the Act for the Recognition of Tyrtongue within the Republic, it became the second nationally recognized language.

The Republic also recognizes the Grenedanish language, however it chooses to refer to it as a simple dialect of Grenedeneish, something which goes against much of scholarly consensus, however maintains official doctrine as the nation attempts to formalize the dialect into the mainstream form of Grenedenish, a process which has, for the most part failed in much of rural Grenedene where Grenedanish is spoken as the common dialect.
