The Most Serene Republic of Baranxtu is a well-developed nation located on the South Continent of the International Democratic Union. Bordered by the Sea of Agrimai in the north and west, the Strait of Hima in the southwest and the Bay of Baranxtu in the south, Baranxtu is has developed strong maritime trade bonds with many other nations which remain firmly in place today. It shares a maritime border with Otea which lies across the Strait of Hima and is bordered in the southeast by Jonquiere-Tadoussac and Cikoutimi. Much of the land across its eastern border still belongs to the Unclaimed Lands.

Baranxtu is a democratic federal constitutional monarchy with a strong parliament. It is made up of 19 provinces, which are further divided into twelve regular provinces, two city states, three metropolitan provinces and two autonomous provinces. However, there is little difference between the status of the different forms of provinces.

Originally a staunchly conservative and almost fanatically religious colony of the Kingdom of Baranxtu, it is today a self-proclaimed multi-cultural, liberal and progressive country that embraces the now indigenous diversity of cultures, languages and traditions of the peoples living within the country.

History

Main Article: History of Baranxtu

Establishment of the Colony of New Baranxtu

In the 1670s, the first Baranxtiman settlers arrived on the northern shores of what is now the Most Serene Republic of Baranxtu.

On the eastern shore of the Bay of Ansa, they founded Ωn-Baranxiž, named after the home town of their leader, the priest (later High Priest) Ahogi Detitu Gguri-Ahadi. He and his followers had come here to flee the growingly liberal attitude towards "infidels" in their home land.

When they expanded their settlements into surrounding areas, they established the province Bari.

In the early 1680s, settlers with a similar background founded the colony of Nazer a few hundred miles to the east of Bari. Around the same time, Asuanituan settlers established the colony of Naïη on the shore of the current province of the same name.

In 1687, the King Anharidi of Baranxtu granted the three colonies the right to unite as an official Baranxtuan colony called the Colony of New Baranxtu.

The Marani-Baranxtu Wars (1692-1790)

Although the initial contacts between the settlers and the indigenous Marani peoples had been peaceful, the situation quickly deteriorated after the Colony of New Baranxtu had been established. As the colony now received military backup from the kingdom, High Priest Ahogi started a war with the Marani kingdom Tekubinda that separated the two provinces Bari and Nazer-Naïη.

The colony received unexpected support by Jjiria which had a long-standing feud with Tekubinda; after Tekubinda had been conquered in 1706 and the two provinces united to form what became Bari Nazer, Jjiria and New Baranxtu signed a peace treaty that lasted until 1906 when Jjiria was incorporated into Baranxtu.

Other Marani tribes were not supportive of the new rising power, and during the following decades, New Baranxtu fought a great number of wars against the various neighboring Marani countries.

Supplied with superior weapons by the home country, New Baranxtu lost only a small number of these wars and was in turn able to conquer much more territory. By 1790, it stretched over all of modern Northern Baranxtu.

Meanwhile, the country still attracted a constant influx of Baranxtiman and Asuanituan settlers and its population grew steadily.

The Baranxtu-Siragge War (1786-1790)

Whereas Baranxtimans and Asuanituans had colonized much of the northern part of modern-day Baranxtu, Nidajians who had fled the famines of the 1720s in the Kingdom of Baranxtu had established their own colony in what is today Siragge.
