Quick Facts

The Brinkmanship Based State of Al-Imvadjah is a moderately sized space faring nation which unti recently has pursued an isolationist policy. Its homewolrd is the mountainous planet of Nonistan, where the entire population was moved in the year 2163 by Joseph XVII. All land on Earth (Terra) has been renounced, and Earth is treated no differently than any other populated planet. Recently, Joseph XXII has decided to begin an expansionist policy, looking toward creating an empire of systems. This is being achieved thrugh politics, exploration, and warfare.

Its national animal is the Main Battle Tank, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mark.

History

Al-Imvadjah was founded by King Francis I. The nation was small and unimportant until the 21st century, when Joseph VII came into power and began expanding the military and centralizing the government into a system similar to the one used today. Under Peter XIV alien technology was recovered in 2087, which accelerated Al-Imvadjah into the realm of what is commonly called Future Tech. By 2116, Al-Imvadjah was a spacefaring nation, with small landholdings on Mars and Europa in addition to its territory on Earth. The following year, Faster Than Light engines were installed on a non-research vessel for the first time.

In 2119 Nonistan was charted and claimed as Imvadjian, though its existance was included in the information recovered. Operations began to set up colonies on the planet were met with constant failure until 2133, when new advances in quick construction allowed hardened shelters to be erected before the hurricanes could destroy them. By 2145, Nonistan had more Al-Imvad inhabitants than Mars and Europa combined. In 2148 Joseph XVII was in crowned. He believed that the Sol System was overpopuated and would soon colapse into anarchy. During the early years of his reign he decided to encourage the movement of settlers to Nonistan. In early 2153 he commisioned the construction of the 5 great ships that would ferry the population of Al-Imvadjah to Nonistan, all of which were completed by June 2160. He began the transfer of government power to Nonistan and by March 2161 all but a small contigent of Al-Imvad political and military power was out of Sol. In Februrary 2163 he announced that all Al-Imvad citizens were to be taken to Nonistan, where land would be plentiful and there would be room for larger famlies. A small group refused and formed Al-Khalja, which is still ruled by members of the Al-Imvad royal line but remains on Earth. By the end of 2163 everybody who was going was in orbit around or on the surface of Nonistan. Joseph XVII oversaw the completion of the great walled cities in which the population would reside, the last of which were completed in 2188, the year of his death.

In 2189, with Sol abandoned, Al-Imvadjah turned in on itself during the reign of Peter XII. For the next 60 years Al-Imvadjah worked on improving life on Nonistan and exploring the rest of the system. After Peter died, his son Francis XIV began looking toward the stars again. However, he was unable to expand because of the limitations of early starship technology and the insufficient numbers of ships. He thus began the construction of the great shipyards to supplement the small construction facilities already in orbit. Over the next 50 years those shipyards were built, expanded far beyond the original design, and made capable of producing ships on a scale that was not even considered feasible when the yards were begun.

Even before the shipyards were finished they were churning out ships at a prodigous rate, mostly of the now-aged Pirahna and Duckhunt classes, though several cruisers were built. It was a further 85 years of design, testing, redesign, and retrofitting before the fleet was considered ready to delve into the deepness of space. Since then there had been little use for the shipyards, mostly rutine repairs and maintenance of existing ships. It is therefore easy to understand why so many modern scholars are amazed by the eccelent performance of the Al-Imvad Star Fleet against the ESUS Expiditionary Force in the Battle of Grovan-Sott. Every peson had fully expected the seemingly ancient Al-Imvad starships to be easy prey to the more modern craft once contronted with open battle, but as it had throughout the war, the now infamous and highly regulated HACSHM devastated enemy capitalships.

However, that victory was short-lived, and Nonistan was soon under seige by a larger, more powerful ESUS force. This ended in the inevitable surrender of AL-Imvadjah. Joseph XXII, who had begun the war, abdiated in favor of a nephew, and a humiliating peace was settled. Strict limitations on the size, firepower and design of the starships to replace the completely destroyed AISF were emplaced, along with the breakup and removal of many shipyard faciities to replace those lost by ESUS members. Over the next year, the groundwork was laid for the four of the five capital-class vessels allowed by the treaty. Fortunately for the Imvadjians, the ESUS was wracked by a civil war, during which they snuck what remained of their shipyards to an undisclosed location and faked a reactor accident, which they claimed had made them uninhabitable an dangerous to keep in-system. Though the alrady laid hulls and code-enforced designs prevented the Imvadjian crews from breaking too far from the treaty, they did their best. The five ships, including one unadulterated design from the pre-war era, returned to Nonistan in triumph twenty-two years after the shipyards had been hidden away.
