The Revolutionary Republic of Bamonia

Bamonia is a small country in the far-eastern New America in the region of PEEL.

Founded about a century ago, Bamonia was a Monarchy ruled by a succession of Queens. The royal despots wielded absolute power and in many cases ruled the nation with an iron fist, while upholding their faith, The Reformed Church of the Goddess.

That was so up until 2052, when the last Queen, Anastastopolis I was deposed in a revolutionary coup aided by the Royal Army. She was heavily criticized for her relations with the hated Empire of Anubinia. She abdicated power to The Revolutionary Bamonian Communist Party, an outlawed, underground political faction led by a former close aid of the Queen, Alexius Andralak.

After the removal of Anastastopolis, the communists quickly set about consolidating their power by establishing a new governmental system with the help of outside allies, Pastocia and Yugopatomia. Within weeks, the first free elections were held in the country's history, and those elected formed the basis of the People's Duma, Bamonia's parliament. The Communist Party also appointed Andralak, it's chairman as the nation's first Premier. Around PEEL, many spoke out against this, by comparing the position of Premier to that of an autocratic dictator, being that he or she has the power to veto any motion passed by the Senate.

After it's renovation into a communist power, Bamonia was quickly lobbied into the COMECON by Pastocia and Yugopatomia, two of the younger, more radical nations within the alliance, causing rumors around PEEL that COMECON was looking to spread it's influence around the region by overthrowing governments and setting up puppet governments. Although all COMECON nations including Bamonia wholeheartedly denied this accusation, but already, the Democratic and Capitalist nations of PEEL had Bamonia under a microscope, watching it's every move. The new Communist government tried to improve it's appearance by even exiling it's former tyrant, Anastastopolis to New Cyberia as a sign of goodwill. However, this did little to improve relations with other countries, and Bamonia retreated deeper into the embrace of the COMECON.

As the months went on, Bamonia gained a reputation for being one of only upholders of TRUE communism in the COMECON. Strictly anti-capitalist and always weary of outside threats, Bamonia was no-man's land for foreign corporations. However unlike it's COMECON allies of Nurdbotia and Yugopatomia, the nation was not committed to building a strong military, choosing to just feed off of handouts from the COMECON Weapons Lease Act.

This was so until the end of 2052 when PEEL was enveloped in the Dominion Wars, after Yugopatomia declared war on Anubinia for an unprovoked attack by the Holy Dominion's orbital EMP Weapon. At first the People's Duma voted not to enter the conflict, but by spring of 2053, Bamonia was drawn into it on the side of The Coalition, a ragtag alliance of both communist and capitalist nations created to combat the Dominion and it's allies. Soon after war was declared, Bamonia deployed 97000 troops under the command of Brigadier General Kairos Hemera in the defense of Pastantinople which was under seige from the Obsidian Order. After the seige was broken, the taskforce and an almost 1 million other troops were sent to Yugopatomia's Glacial Colony in the far north to fight The Yeti who occupied the country. After months of fighting, a ceasefire was finally declared and the war was over.

In the aftermath, Bamonia was crippled by an economic depression and food shortages. It appealed to it's COMECON allies for economic aid, and in a controversial law, the Duma voted to allow small-scale Capitalism within the country, which brought a number of foreign contractors to Bamonia. At this time, the Bamonian government realized that it's military had been sorely lacking during the Dominion Wars, and underwent a massive military buildup to modernize it's army, navy, and airforce.
