Annexation of Islanda?

Officials in Islanda have announced a formal request to be annexed into Democratic Mada as an interim province and then obtain provincial status. Officials met in Ishle, Islanda to discuss the benefits of being annexed as the small country's struggle with democracy, the economy, and social stability. The Minister of Foreign Affairs for Islanda stated in a press release on Jete, 10 Avrile 505, "Islandans want to be annexed for economic and welfare purposes while hoping to end the civil struggles". Islanda's economy is currently in a wreck due to a recessions and an almost 23% unemployment rate. Dictators have periodically taken control of the island, but currently a government that is both defenseless and powerless is in place. Islanda was part of the former Dominion of Madaishtal, but has not been successful as an independent nation like Democratic Mada. Prime Minister Jean Leono stated, "the people want stability, peace, economy, government. Islanda's small island economy can not compete regionally and our defenses are powerless against despots. Mada is a safe haven." Many Madians do not want to taken on Islanda's problems if annexed, but see it as an obligation to their neighbor. Already, immigration from Islanda has peaked and undocumented immigration is on the rise.

Prime Minster Adam Marx spoke at the recent citizen's meeting about the issue claiming, "the decision rests with the Madian people, myself and the House of Legislation will ensure that the action to be made is the people's choice".

History

Ancient History c. 30-150

It is not known for certain were the first inhabitants of the current day area of Democratic Mada arrived from. Historians speculate that a mass migration from Northwestern Zoonbringma occurred to the northern areas of Casti in the years of 30-60. The migrants relied heavily on agriculture and tried desperately to farm in the northern rocky soil, but soon migrated south to more arable land. The ancient Madaishtans established farming communities in current day Pratzé and Léon. A feudal society began to grow as leaders of communities began to arise due to wealth and status. These were the first lords and soon to be kings. City-States began to form as organized governments and society gave way because of the agricultural revolution. City-States grew in population and in area. By the year 150, Lords began to compete for power and wealth and soon formed dozen of small empires in current day Democratic Mada.

Age of Empires c. 150-300

By the year 150, small kingdoms began to emerge from the feudal system. Regional culture began to develop which the arts, language, and literature. Many of the dialects of Madia originated from the Age of Empires.

The three major kingdoms existed: The Kingdom of Jedorben, The Kingdom of Priatzo, and The Kingdom of Léon.

The Kingdom of Jedorben was located in the northern regions of Pratzé and the southern mountains of Casti. The economy was based on the forced mining of precious metals and gems. The monarchs were generally despotic and were characterized as harsh and cruel leaders. Two classes existed in Jedorben, the extreme rich and the extreme poor. Civil unrest in this region was common, and it was this region that initiated the Revolution.

The Kingdom of Pritazo was a costal kingdom, occupying the coast line of current day Pratzé. The people of this region were sailors and fishermen. Pritazo was regionally known for shipping and thus trade was a huge industry. Pritazo is different from other kingdoms in that the feudal system was not as prominent and class division was not as wide. The monarch, for the most part, exercised just rule. Education was an important institution in this kingdom. Engineers and sailors were trained in trade schools for the shipping industry. Also, being an international port, Pritazo saw a wide array of culture from around the world. This region was the most progressive out of the three major kingdoms.

The Kingdom of Léon was situated in the current day province of Léon. Agriculture was the main industry in Léon, as it still is today. The Feudal System was the governmental structure in this region. A king was at the top of the hierarchy, while lords control large areas of land tended by serf farmers. Life was nethier bad nor good in this region. As long as production of crops was met, a citizen was relatively safe from the fist of the lords. Serf culture centered on the community and family, as seen today in Léon. Many folk tales, songs, and legends were born in Léon.

In the year 300 King Veshta of Jedorben launched a crusade on the surrounding kingdoms. Assignations of lords and kings in the other kingdoms were carried out. Priatzo suffered greatly during this invasion, because the kingdom began to see progressive governmental change, such as the implementation of a constitutional monarchy. Veshta and his men unified the three kingdoms into one large kingdom. The new Kingdom of Gren Jedorben emerged and took the area into a dark sector of history, the Years of Tyranny and Oppression.
