The Japanese parts, are the most prominent. Originally, this part of North Dovani was dominated by the powerful Empire of Gao-Soto, a federation of Gao-Showan (Asian) clans, who dominated most of the surrounding nations via a tributary system of client kings. However, settlers from the Western nations arrived and colonised Dovani. The Holy Luthori Empire (analogous to Britain) took control of this region, despite the fact that most ordinary settlers were from Dundorf (analogous to Germany). The colonists named the new colonies Hulstria. Think of it as similar to British rule in Quebec. Eventually, the Dundorfian settlers launched a revolution against Luthori, and achieved independence. Thus, it's important to understand that for most of the history of the region, there has been two nations - Hulstria and Gao-Soto, which they are united. ~A brief primer on in-game history~ However, after a brief experiment with Republicanism, Communism and other ideologies, a monarchist conservative hegemony was established - and "Greater Hulstria" became a Imperialist, constitutional monarchy very similar and very friendly to it's former Luthori overlords. A system of Apartheid was implemented between Gao-Showans and Hulstrians, and though it was eventually abolished it created much ill-feelings. Much of the Hulstrian era is characterised by stability and the apparent dominance of the white male Reich-Hulstrian and Luthoro-Hulstrian elite. However, inequalities and cultural tension left over from the era of Apartheid, linked with a general rise in Gao-Showan and Dovani nationalism and anti-Imperialism, lead to the rise of Gao-Showan nationalist parties who demanded autonomy. This movement was highly influenced by the ideology of Zen-Socialism. Though the First Wave of Gao-Showan nationalism failed, the second wave succeeded and established a Dual-Monarchy. However, the nascent new state of "Hulstria and Gao-Soto" was overthrown by the National Bolsheviks, the most infamous tyrants in the nations history - who sought to create unity between the two cultures via totalitarianism. This regime was called the North Dovani Union. The North Dovani Union soon alienated the public, and a united opposition known as the 15th of September Movement led a peaceful revolution known as the September Revolution. The Dual-Monarchy was re-established, and successfully continued for centuries. This era is known as the Septemberist era. This time was defined by a vibrant democratic life and peaceful-coexistence. However, in those long centuries many deep cultural and social changes occurred - and before long the old establishment grew stagnant and vanished quietly from history. No longer clearly differentiated, due to racial intermixing and cultural exchange, Hulstrians and Gao-Showans no longer existed as separate nations - having merged into a single, shared culture that bore little resemblance to the original colonial settlers or the Empire of Gao-Soto. Most of the nation at the time spoke a language known as Hulstro-Mikun, a offshore of Dundorfian with a strong Gao-Showan influence. The increasing apathy of the democratic elements in nation life, as well as the increasing decline in the former royal houses, lead to a situation where a few determined individuals could easily change the world. These people were the House of Yukio-Labsburg, or the Hausu Yūkīō Rabuzubāgu in Hulstro-Mikun, who rallied a fanatical following and used it to usurp both the thrones of Hulstria and Gao-Soto. Empress Yukio-Labsburg Mizuki, a charismatic descendent of exiled Sekowan royalty, established herself as a Absolute-Monarch and enforced a new system of Neo-Feudalism against virtually no opposition. Under the rule of the Yukio-Labsburgs, many cultural changes that had been going on slowly and virtually unnoticed during the Septemberist period were acknowledged publicly and accelerated by a new cultural policy. A "Hulstro-Showan" identity was promoted officially, and Hulstro-Mikun was introduced as the official language in place of "proper" Dundorfian. ~Modern Era - Transition to Democracy~ This uprising did not last forever. As a new century and millennium dawned upon Terra, so did new, progressive ideas. In 4004 this cultivated in the formation of a political party, the Democrats. They were the first and at the time, only major political threat to the House of Yukio-Labsburg. Over the years the Democrats gained momentum, eventually overthrowing all the aristocracy in the nation and implementing a full democratic republic in 4017, with their work being officially complete in 4018. The nation was named the United Democracy of Mikuni-Hulstria and relinquished all imperialism. Meanwhile culturally, for the first time in centuries, the native people became the dominant culture and ethnicity in Mikuni-Hulstria, mostly due to whites migrating to places such as Luthori and Dundorf, where they felt more at home. Also the Gao-Soto's bred more with their culture gaining more prominence. The traditional Gao-Soto language also became the official language of the country. Also as a result of changing social attitudes and the abolition of the aristocracy rendering Kaisākaruto (Emperor Worship) which had been the dominant religion beforehand, completely redundant. As a result agnosticism and atheism rose dramatically, particularly the former. |
