| The '''Kingdom of the Confederation of New Yustona''' is a kingdom in [[Cusinaut]] under a real union with [[Urcea]], although it has alternatively been described as a colonial possession of Urcea. The Kingdom was established out of the earlier colony of New Yustona following its expansion during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The Kingdom is a confederation of [[Levantia|Levantine]] colonial settlements and native tribal polities that aligned themselves with Urcea during the war.
| | ==Foundation== |
| | |
| The Kingdom is a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]].
| |
| | |
| == Geography == | |
| | |
| == History ==
| |
| ===Prior to the 19th century===
| |
| The territory now encompassing New Yustona was initially part of a larger entity in Western [[Crona]] known as the [[War of the Northern Confederation#Background|Northern Confederation]]. Established in the 17th century, the Northern Confederation aimed to solve long-standing disputes between a myriad of local tribes via Confederate arbitration. It was held that forming such a Confederation would help all members resist the incoming [[Levantia|Levantine]] traders, who had already extracted trade interests and established treaty ports in Crona, particularly in [[Quetzenkel]]. The Confederation was comprised of six "great tribes" along with many smaller tribes and Cronite city-states; the Mixcala, the Cheektowaga, the Tepetlcali, the Tonawandis, the [[Algoquona]], and the Schoharie. The Mixcala and Tepetlcali in particular frequently required Confederate intervention to prevent war.
| |
| | |
| ===Aedanicad and restoration===
| |
| | |
| In the 1850s, [[King Aedanicus VIII]] sought to acquire land in Crona to boost Urcea's prestige and, additionally, in order to find territory to settle veterans of the [[Third Caroline War]]. After much searching, the tribe of [[Glossary_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Schoharie]], the southernmost tribe in the Northern Confederation, agreed to sell its marshy southern coastal region to Urcea for four million talers in 1857. King Aedanicus declared the territory the colony of New Yustona in 1858, and the new settlers arrived to find a difficult, swampy environment, which was only cleared through expensive application of new industrial technologies. Port St. Charles was established by the settlers in 1858, and by 1868 most of the bogs had been drained, allowing for arable land. [[Urcean people|Urcean]] colonists flooded into the country in the 1870s in light of constant overcrowding in [[Urcea]], and by 1880 it was clear that the small territory was no longer sufficient to hold the growing population. Urcea declared war on the Schoharie in 1881 in the hopes that overwhelming Occidental power would prevent the Confederation from intervening, but it became clear that the gambit had failed as huge warbands and armies from the Confederation appeared on New Yustona's frontiers. Using the power of its advanced [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] and [[List of equipment of the Armed Forces of Urcea#Muskets%20and%20rifles|bolt-action rifles]], Urcea quickly seized coastal fishing areas, transforming the war into a war of attrition. Growing expenses lead to the war ending in 1883; Urcea was ceded some territory from the Schoharie but the effort was largely considered a failure due to the inability to win a decisive victory. The war had claimed the lives of thousands of natives, and the Schoharie living in the ceded territory fled northward, settling in the lands of the Tepetlcali and Algoquona. Many of the Schoharie living in its remaining territory also began to migrate northwards, as many believed it would only be a matter of time until the Urceans returned.
| |
| | |
| [[King Aedanicus VIII]] did intend to try again, but died in 1889, and the colony was considered one of the King's vanity projects. Following the Crown Regency and [[Red Interregnum]], [[King Patrick III]] sought to restore Urcea's reputation abroad and to test Urcea's rebuilt military might. New Yustona had again reached its comfortable population limit, and the King intended to prove that it was not merely his father's side project - Urcea was here to stay. To that end, he deployed several of Urcea's rebuild Royal Navy ships to shell the [[Glossary_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Schoharie]] coast before a formal declaration of war came In August of 1908, after which time the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]] expeditionary force came to occupy Schoharie by the end of September, though they found it mostly depopulated. This time, the very well-armed Urcean expeditionary force defeated the Confederation in several major battles, advancing as far inland as the city of Tepetlcali in November of 1909 before malaria and supply issues forced the Urceans to turn back. The Confederate troops - armed mostly with muzzle loading rifles purchased from [[Audonia|Audonian]] nations in the late 1860s - were overwhelmed by Urcean fire, but the sheer number of troops made a total victory over the Confederation difficult and it was determined that an advance past Schoharie would be impossible given the resolve of the Confederation. The [[Treaty of Electorsbourg]] ended the war in 1910; Urcea annexed Schoharie but agreed to recognize the Confederation's extant borders, and the Confederation agreed to open fair trade relations with Urcea. The Schoharie War was the last formal conflict fought between Urceans and Cronites in the 20th century, and Urcea formed strong trade relations with its Confederation neighbor, the tribe of the Mixcala. Though there was peace, numerous Urcean and other Levantine settlers filibustering into Confederate lands; these efforts were all defeated, sometimes with Urcean assistance.

| == Government ==
| |
| New Yustona, as a [[Benefactor confederacy|benefactor confederacy]], consists of several tribes, cities, and the Urcean colony of New Yustona under the loose executive presidency of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] and his Governor-General in his stead, who the King directly nominates and submits for the approval of the [[Concilium Daoni]] in [[Urcea]]. The King, and consequently the Governor-General, has total control over the Kingdom's foreign policy, but relatively limited influence in the domestic affairs of the constituent parts of the Kingdoms save for the New Yustona colony, where the Crown exercises direct control. The Kingdom has a small central government apparatus, responsible for regulating relations between the constituent parts of the Kingdom as well as providing for the basic functions of a small welfare state; much of the domestic policy decisions are made at the constituent level, though the Kingdom's legislature has broad discretion to keep local laws and statutes similar by providing for legal baselines for conduct and the regulation of economic activity. Much of the government's activity is done under the purview of representatives of the [[Government of Urcea]]. Under the King and Governor-General is the Grand Council of the Kingdom of New Yustona, the Kingdom's legislature, which consists of three elected representatives from each constituent part for a total of twenty one members.

| |
| | |
| * The Colony of New Yustona
| |
| * The Tribal Dominion of Mixcala
| |
| * The Tribal Dominion of Cheektowaga

| === New Yustona ===
| |
| The Colony of New Yustona was established, as described above, in 1858. It is the largest constituency in the Kingdom both in terms of geography and demography; it comprises nearly half of the Kingdom's territory and is populated by 9 million people, more than half of the Kingdom's 16.5 million population as surveyed in 2034. Originally the expansive but sparsely populated territory of the Schoharie, the Colony of New Yustona slowly expanded over tribal territory from 1858 to 1910, during which time the population grew rapidly. Like [[Urcea]]'s [[Government of Urcea#Province|provinces]], the Colony has an elected executive (called a Deputy) and a bicameral legislature comprised of the Colonial Senate and Colonial Assembly. Much of the colony's government mirrors that of the [[Government of Urcea]], retaining a similar cabinet structure to that of the [[Concilium Purpaidá]]. The Colony is divided into fifteen dioceses, again mirroring the [[Government of Urcea#Local%20Government|local government structure]] of [[Urcea]]. Unlike Urcea, New Yustona does not employ a guild system, and it employs only two kinds of localities; the Urcean commune and the Urcean polis.
| |
| | |
| Port St. Charles, governed as a polis, is the oldest city in the Colony of New Yustona. Originally serving as an important coaling station into "inner Crona" (the internal Sea of Nysdra region), the city became an important military port in the years leading up to the [[Great War]], as the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] established the city as the headquarters of the new [[Royal Navy (Urcea)#Fleet%20Structure|Nysdra Squadron]], established in 1927 to protect the colony from foreign aggression. The colony was not harmed during the war, and following the conflict some veterans were given parcels of land in the colony. Despite these developments, New Yustona remained somewhat populous for a colony but largely irrelevant until the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] and discovery of uranium further north. With the establishment of the Kingdom, the Colony of New Yustona has become the cosmopolitan hub of the Kingdom and residence for many non-Levantine descended New Yustonese. Port St. Charles, as the Kingdom's capital city, has grown substantially with the establishment of political and diplomatic quarters; a large service economy has grown up around the Kingdom's central government apparatus, leading to beneficial ripple effects throughout the entire Colony. The Colony's population is overwhelmingly of Levantine descent, with 93.1% of the population in 2034 recording "some or entire Levantine ancestry", though the non-Levantine population is on the rise as Port St. Charles continues to grow as an economic hub. The growth of the city and attraction of people throughout the Kingdom has turned Port St. Charles - and the Colony as a whole - into a cultural melting pot, developing new and interesting variations on both native and Levantine cultural traditions.

| === Mixcala ===
| |
| | |
| === Cheektowaga ===
| |
| | |
| === Tonawandis ===
| |
| | |
| === Weluta-New Mixcala ===
| |
| The Condominium of Weluta-New Mixcala is jointly administered by the Colony of New Yustona and the Tribal Doninion of Mixcala. The territory, previously the lands of the [[Glossary_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Tepetlcali]] prior to the sack of the city by the Mixcalans, is partly based on subsistence farming, as most industries had been destroyed during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The primary economic activity, however, is uranium mining, as the rich uranium deposits in the Condominium have been key in the explosive growth of Urcea’s nuclear energy sector. Mutual control over the territory was part of the initial agreement binding the Mixcalans and Urceans together. Consequently, both parties have been working to establish a long-term economic development and investment plan, planning to use many of the funds generated from uranium profits to rebuild the local economy.
| |
| | |
| The mostly depopulated region demographically consists of approximately two thirds native population - the remnants of the [[Glossary_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Tepetlcalis]] and Mixcalan settlers. The remaining third are Levantine smallholders or designed communities of Levantines. Both the Colony and Dominion are negotiating the potential of a fixed ratio of Mixcalan and Urcean settlers.

| |
|
| === Free Cities ===
| | The BFNA was founded in August 8, 1604 under the direction of Rih [[Donan Suthar-Màrtainn]], who was becoming frustrated only a year into his rule by Vithnjian piracy along Faneria's outer coast. He initiated a program of hiring foreign naval officers to supplement Fhainninn troops, as they were not yet used to operating on the open oceans outside of the Vandarch, and required ship designs and leadership from abroad to seriously compete with raiders in the Nordska sea. The Academy was initially centered on [[Rihsport]], and attracted [[Coscivian]] and [[Burgundie|Burgundine]] officers, although Burgundine mercenaries eventually became more commonplace following one of their homeland's drawdowns on recruitment left many to seek employment abroad. |
| The Free Cities, formally known as the Federated Cities Administration, are a series of city states which were members of the Northern Confederation sitting on the border between [[Algoquona]] and Cheektowaga. The population of the Free Cities is approximately three quarters of a million people. These cities largely act autonomously of eachother and are self-governing. The Free Cities area is overseen by a Legate who serves a two year term, beginning with he first election in 2030. The Legate is elected by the mayors and chiefs of the various cities and has limited power. The primary responsibility of the Legate is to ensure fair trade relations between the cities and to raise the requisite number of soldiers from the cities according to the manpower needs of the Kingdom’s defenses. The Legate also commands the unified militias of the cities in time of war, being the primary individual responsible for defense of the border with Algoquona, aiming to slow Algoquona’s advance until the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] arrives. | |
|
| |
|
| === Free Tribes === | | ==Early Tenure and Competition== |
| Like the Free Cities, the Free Tribes, formally known as the Federated Tribal Administration, are a number of small and primarily autonomous tribal groups who previously served as members of the Northern Confederation. Their total population is approximately a quarter of a million people. Many times, these tribes also served as tributaries of [[Algoquona]] and Tepetlcali, which made them natural allies of [[Urcea]] and Mixcala during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]].
| |
|
| |
|
| These tribes, which retained their promised autonomy after the war, typically life in small villages or communal agricultural settlements. The economy of the Free Tribes area is mostly subsistence farming with the development of some cash crops since the advent of New Yustona. Like the Free Cities, the Free Tribal area has a small regional government, with a Legate responsible for territorial defense and conflict resolution. The Legate is elected by the heads of each of the recognized tribes, which currently number at 43. Like they Free Cities system described above, the Legate of the Free Tribes serves a two year term.

| | The Academy roused its students to create a Navy Trainee Brigade during the summer of 1906 during the Fhainnin Civil War, siding with the Royalists and promptly being routed and captured following the fall of Rihsport to Republican forces. Most of the educators and planners there were screened and phased out for new talent less loyal to the Throne, which would come back to bite Faneria during the later Great War as their talented pool of doctrinal analysts would not recover until the mid-1930s. |

|
| === Religious Demographics ===
| | During the prewar years of 1909-1927, Fhainnin naval direction was focused heavily on the concept of prioritizing speed and firepower over protection, emphasizing the use of fast battleships and fast cruisers for line combat supplemented by a suite of auxiliary air support, mine warfare, and anti-air destroyers and light carriers. Due to the defections and purges of the Navy after it largely sided with Royalist forces in the civil war, the Army Naval Bureau struggled to accomplish this task, and prioritized fast battlecruisers and mine warfare first in the event of a war. Trainees were also influenced heavily by the radical push towards hit-and-fade fighting promulgated by the new leadership, but this break from the traditional protected battleship doctrine of the Royal Navy took over a decade to properly inculcate in the standing naval forces of the Republic and lead to a series of both dramatic victories and stunning blunders as the Navy's officer corps was forced to shake out and fine-tune its new doctrine quickly in wartime. |

| [[Urcean people|Urcean]] and [[Cronin people]] comprise the large majority population of the Kingdom of New Yustona, and consequently, the [[Levantine Catholic Church|Catholic]] faith is the predominant religion in New Yustona. The majority of non-Catholics live in territories acquired during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]]. The Dominions of Mixcala and Tonawandis, prior to incorporation within the Kingdom, each had large Catholic minorities in their coastal regions, adding to the overall number of Catholics within the teritory. [[Arzalism]] is banned within the Kingdom; approximately 2.5% of the overall population of the Kingdom on its foundation, all native people, were Arzalists; the majority of these individuals are now [[M'acunism|M'acunists]], though a minority became Catholic following the banning of the Arzalist practice.
| |
|
| |
|
| == Economy ==
| | The BFNA was stuck in an awkward position, being a cooperative organization with a people the state it serves was at war with, leading to a predominance of Fhainnin and Coscivian students during the war years and for several more afterwards. |
| New Yustona's economy is considered "moderately strong" by most global metrics especially considering the relative poverty of other nations and territories in northern [[Crona]]. Much of its economy is centered around the extraction of uranium and other fissile materials discovered during the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], but the heavy presence of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] within the country also serves as a major boost to the economy. As of 2037, the Kingdom had a GDP of $453,042,192,195, bringing its GDP per capita to $22,401.
