Kelekona has been inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, although its formation as a state originates from its independence in 1975. In that year, the country was plunged into a devastating civil war between the ruling United Front for the Independence of Kelekona, supported by Urcea, Burgundie, and other anti-communist Occidental powers, and the socialist insurgent People's Front of Kelekona. The victory of the People's Front led to a short-lived authoritarian socialist republic, until it was overthrown by right-wing military elements. The country remained a totalitarian junta until the Yellow Revolution of 2002 - which was partially triggered by the junta's heavy oppression of the minority Minshimintig peoples. A migrant crisis that occurred during the Final War of the Deluge would lead to the collapse of the Kelekonan economy and the minarchist state, bringing forth another coup that has returned the military to power.
The Union of Kelekona is a federal republic containing both elements of a parliamentary democracy and military stratocracy. While in theory a democratic republic, the current government is led by Chenoa Aponi in her unelected position as Marshal of the Union and as Chair of the National Council - a legislative and executive body which has yet to have its first direct election. The Union of Kelekona is therefore described as an authoritarian state, although one fairly benevolent to its minority populations and ambivalent towards the opposition. It is a member of the League of Nations.
Kelekona is rich in natural resources, although its economy has remained stagnant due to political instability, a lack of infrastructure, and societal tensions discouraging wide-scale development. What little development had mainly occurred during the first years of the minarchist government, although this growth was extremely uneven. Standards of living remain low for most Kelekonans - even more so as the country handles a migrant crisis on the scale of millions, triggered by the Final War of the Deluge. The control of the Union government in Maktalin is therefore fractured and weak outside of the capital, with much of the nation under the purview of warlords loyal to the government or local, civilian "defence committees" that serve as de-facto provincial governments.
