The Armed Republic of Akimonad is a large, safe nation located in the exact center of the small chain of Atlantic islands known as the Antilles Septum Islands. The country was founded shortly after its discovery in 1876. Ruled by a self-proclaimed "benevolent" dictator, Commodore Daniel Hausen, the country has been made economically, politically and militarily stronger, normally at the expense of taxpayers and their civil rights. Political freedoms are few in Akimonad; the two-party system is biased towards dictator Cdr. Hausen, probably because the two parties are forks of the original party that put Cdr. Hausen into office.

History
Early History
Akimonad was a chain of islands inhabited by indigenous people for hundreds of years. The people lived in tranquility and peace, with little interaction. While the world developed around them, they remained shielded and undiscovered. Monad, the only island to have organized government before colonization, was ruled by monarchs who, as a rule, had names with many diacritic marks and were hard to pronounce. In 1812, the then-King of Monad died, leaving the throne to his cat, and causing pandemonium for several years until the cat was assasinated and the next heir took the throne.
Discovery, Colonization
The three islands that compose Akimonad were discovered in 1876 by explorers from neighboring countries. The islands originally colonized by the British in 1902 - Aki, Monad and Shvin (which today are part of Akimonad) and Aquas, Qua, Undede and Fli (which today are the nation of Aquas737) - were organized as the Septum Antilles Republic of Aki-monad. The natives, as well as many English-Akimonadian separatists, revolted in 1963 in a series of very bloody, nasty conflicts that ended with the British being expelled from Monad Island in 1971. The old, somehow unforgotten monarchy was reinstalled, after 69 years of internal exile on Undede island. The monarch, King Ædáçí X, was the last of his line, and never married.
Aquas Independence, Anarchy
The monarchy was overthrown on October 2, 1989 by separatists from Aquas, Qua, Undede and Fli, who, in the 3-year state of Akimonadian anarchy, declared an independent state. Akimonad was in a state of total anarchy from 1989-1991, until the UN intervened in 1992 and forced a democratic republic to form. Elections were held in 1994, and things were peaceful for a while.
The July Coup
In July of 2003, a group calling themselves the "Akimonadian Citizens for Improvement, Justice, Reform, (etc.) of the Republic" corrupted the 2003 Presidential elections to put Commodore Daniel Hausen, supreme leader of Akimonad Military, into office. After the fraud was uncovered, the Akimonadian military, commanded by Cdr. Daniel Hausen, seized the Parliament House in the now-former capitol of Bordeaux and forced a so-called "autonomy," which was revealed on state television. Cdr. Hausen came to power in August, assuming control of every aspect of daily life in Akimonad, and quelling everyone who was stupid enough to dissent. The country has been in control of Cdr. Hausen ever since, although, in the words of state television, "steps are being taken to create democracy." In 2005, Cdr. Hausen secretly executed a split of Akimonad's only political party, in a planned illusion to fool Akimonadian citizens into thinking there was democracy.
Currently
King Ædáçí X, the last in the line of Monadian monarchs, died in 2005 of "grief caused by instability and injustice." The government of Akimonad has now been transformed into a hegemony, with Akians strictly dominating over the Monadians and the Shvins. Parliament was dissolved in 2006, with the Parliament building converted to government offices to house the ever-increasing bureaucracy. Cdr. Hausen created and council of advisors in 2007, who help him rule the country. UN and other organizations have both praised and criticized Akimonad and Cdr. Hausen; the main praise being modernization, bringing Akimonad to a near-Superpower state; and the main criticism being the very few civil rights and political freedoms of Akimonadians. Cdr. Hausen says he is "trying to comply with demands for civil rights" and he is "sprinting along the path towards liberty." The "path" has been long, as civil rights improvements are rare. Cdr. Hausen blames "internal strife," referring to several riots that broke ount in 2009 and the escalation of crisis in 2010 almost to civil war. People have been quelled, at least for now, as Cdr. Hausen promises a "reinstallation of Parliament by 2012." Citizens of Akimonad are mesmerized by Cdr. Hausen's "gift of eloquence" and "extremely high rhetoric and charisma." One citizen was quoted as saying, "King Ædáçí wasn't this rousing when he tried extemely hard."
