History
Forming of the Alliance
The regions of Axario and the Northern Islands were released from Danversian control in 1820. A number of small countries formed out of the newly freed territory. The nation of Scion proposed that the nations of the region come together to form a strong alliance that would be governed by one body. This eventually evolved into more than just an alliance but more of a government much like that of the USA. The Allied States of Axario's Constitution was signed and brought into effect on June 9, 1826.
The War of the Royals
Immediately, the local nobility found they would have no power in the region like they had previously had in the Danversian Empire. This started a bloody civil war that lasted from 1827-1836. During this time, Axario's tradition of a strong military began. Heroes were made, traditions were established, and victories were won. On December 18, 1836 the nobility signed the Wasseter Treaty, declaring that the nobility would give up their power altogether.
The Kaplan War
After an Axarian trade vessel was sunk in the Hampton Bay to the south in 1845, Axario went to war with Kapla. The war only lasted a few years, ending in 1847, but resulted in Kapla becoming a state.
Harodian Civil War
The state of Harod split into eastern and western factions and started a brutal civil war in 1862. It had a lot to do with who was in control of the state's military. As a result, the Convention amended the Constitution to say the power to have an army rested solely in the federal government. The feds stepped in and ended the war in 1864, but Harod split into East Harod and West Harod.
Peace
After years of wars, Axario experienced peace from 1864-1948. During this time, many scientific advancements were made and multiple states were admitted into the alliance. Large oil deposits were discovered in the Northern Islands.
The War of the West
The War of the West started in 1948 with the nation of Patria. After nearly a decade of fighting, Patria launches a thermonuclear weapon at the city of Olveria, Filia. Devastation is widespread and millions die. Despite this setback, Axario pushes on and defeats Patria in 1964 and begins it's own nuclear weapons program in earnest. To this day, the area surrounding Olveria is a nuclear wasteland.
The Rise and Fall of Communism
In 1975, Wright Pedis of the Communist Party was elected Prime Minister of Axario. Many in the country feared Axario would become a communist state. Rumors abounded that Pedis was planning a communist revolution when he was assassinated in 1976. Since then, no Prime Minister has been elected from the Communist Party. It is believed that the highly secretive Draenei are responsible for the assassination, although evidence shows Brain Winfield, the assassin, acted alone.
Acquiring Land and The Corporagian Action
In 2002, Axario decided to help Danversia in the Corporagian Conflict. Only a few troops were leant, but it meant that diplomatic relations were strengthened between Axario and her former ruler. The Conflict was short and ended in Corporagia remaining free. Soon afterward they gave up their freedom to Danversia, and in 2003 Corporagia was sold to Axario and admitted into the Alliance. In 2004, Axario also bought the country of Langola, bringing with it the famous Langola Military Industries. Both purchases worked to greatly improve the Axarian economy.
The Danversian War
On May 9, 2005 Anapest set off a nuclear weapon in the city of Coldwater, Danversia sparking the Danversian War. Supreme Commander Alexander Pesta and Commander General Sezaar ordered a column of 1 million soldiers to march through southern Danversia. King Noah III and President Edward Claron were immediately evaced to New Scion where they applied for statehood in the ASA. President Aron Christopher immediately moved Axarian forces in to protect Romana. When Anapest attacked Axarian forces, war was declared. Some SEATO nations, including Ancient and Holy Terra, New Logan, Caldaron, and the Lightning Star quickly rallied around Axario and defeated many Anapestic attempts on Danversia. Pesta called a summit in Diosono and the Danversia Treaty was signed, giving half of Danversia to Anapest.
