Geography

While the Emmitian Empire is vast and comprises many territories and landmasses, the seat of the Empire itself is based in Sece Emmitia (New Emmitia), on the Emmitian Main. The main itself is an island within the Emmitian Sea. The island is shaped roughly like a comet, with a bulging southern area and a tapering northern area, ending with the Severnaya Tundra and the Hot Zone. The center of the island is mountainous with the exception of the Central Steppe, which dominated the southern-central portion of the island. A ring of mountains in the central-northern area has given rise to a badlands-type existance in that region, and has long been a source of sanctuary for Emmitians. The island is roughly three to four times the size of Madagascar.

History

Most of the history we have of Emmitia comes from the Emperor Aristaton Secundus and his tireless work recording and chronicaling the history of his nation. Books most used by him were:

The Early History of Emmitia

The nation to become Emmitia was settled in the year aptly named 0 KG (Keritegon Kisitael [Keh-rai-teh-gohn Kai-sai-tae-el] by the New Montclair Trading Corporation. At first, it was a mining colony, responsible for the plentiful supplies of titanium found in the mountains. With a garrison of 200 Montclair troops in the colonial capitol of Melitopol, piece was kept at a decently low price. For the past century, the New Montclair Trading Corporation had been expanding to become the premier economic power in the region, although it did have some bitter competitors.

Emmitia became vastly more important during the Corporate Wars (23-42 KG). Supplies vital to the New Montclair war effort made the generals realize how vital the island had become. Therefore, the colony grew. However, at the end of the Corporate Wars in 42 KG, the Montclair corporation was nearly bankrupt through twenty years of stagnant warfare which had basically boiled down to wars in the proverbial trenches. The money lavished on Emmitia dried up, and the immigrants who came either perished or emigrated.

It was for fourty years that anarchy broke out in the colonies. With no garrison, the Montclair corporation could not hold its position and impose its will on the colony. Order collapsed. Militias were raised by civil authorities and strongmen and the colony, despite the fact that it was not even a nation, descended into chaos and what could best be described as civil war. At the end of the forty years, New Montclair re-established itself as a power through an invasion in the year 92 KG. Despite the fractured status of the island nation, the strongmen and city-states banded together to turn back the invasion, but they were far too fragile to resist. However, in Emperor Aristaton Secundus' account of the Early Emmitian Histories, he speaks of a resistance leader known as Winniston that to great effect carried on a guerilla war that nearly liberated Melitopol and seized independence for the nation. But it was not to be.

The Liberty Crusades and Second Corporate War

In 114 KG, the Liberty Crusades were launched. Just thirty years prior, the Elizhian Respublica had gained its independence from the corporations. With a fervor for freedom borderlining on fanaticism and religion, the Elizhians took up arms and expanded for thousands of miles in every direction. This culminated in the Second Corporate war. However, while the first was a fight for supremacy among the corporations, it was now a pitched battle between the forces of liberty and that of profit at all costs. For ten years the war dragged on, until the Montclair corporation rallied the fellow companies together to defeat the Republicans at the Battle of Untigum, 125 KG. Aristaton Secundus puts the figures of the war at thirty-eight million military deaths and a respectable amount of civilian deaths.

199 KG saw the re-emergence of the Liberty Crusade. In the Second Liberty Crusade, the Elizhian Respublica returned with vastly superior forces in equipment, training, and morale. Their legions overwhelmed the divisions of the corporations, specifically at Dintei, Pleci, and Gostica. In turmoil, the Montclair company reeled back. The Emmitians took their chance. At the order of Militia Marshal Deshc, the Emmitian people took up arms. They pushed cornered the meager Montclair garrison and tore them to pieces. However, their independence was short lived. In the dusk of the Second Liberty Crusade, the Elizhians invaded Emmitia. A heroic fight was put up by the patriots, but they were overcome and the nation was once more under foreign rule.

The rule of the Elizhians continued for over three-hundred years. Aristaton Secundus comments..

"While our Emmitian brothers may seem to have been beaten and buried by our overseas allies, I can most assuredly say that, as any honorable Emmitian does, he only awaits until a moment of weakness to strike and obtain his freedom."

By this time, the Elizhian Respublica was crumbling. While she desperately attempted to hold together her dominions, the unwieldy size of her bureaucracy and ineffectiveness resulted in the loss of one province after the other to rebel forces. Her troops stretched out and a shadow of the fearless legions of old, they either defected to the rebels (as, chances were, they were as loyal to the local governments as the Respublica and probably racially closer to the locals), were forced into a terrible rout, or simply massacred.

The First Independance War

Ironically, Emmitia was one of the final ones to revolt. This was because the still fractured allegiances from one Emmitian to the other slowed the progress of a unified resistance. However, in the year 521 KG, the leader Emmitur Procaius arose. The son of an Elizhian nun, and therefore a nonperson to the Elizhian government, his mother fled to the colony soon after his birth. According the Emmitian religion, Emmitur’s birth was a virgin, divine one. He was named after the Elizhian patron saint of liberty, Emmitur Kitezh. He was a poor man, and joined the Melitopolite Republican Police at the age of sixteen. From there, he entered the Colonial Militia, where he showed a special aptness of organization and inciting loyalty. Despite the fact that he was born in the Elizhian capitol, he saw himself as Melitopolite, or rather, as a citizen of the entire soon-to-be island nation.

He formed alliances and black market trades with various pirates and rogue nations far from Emmitia, and brought a stream of military-grade weapons into the country. The bloated, overworked Melitopolite police were aware of such occurances, but either supported the upcoming revolution or were simply too overworked to do anything about it. Minor raids were launched, but the police were forced back in firefights in urban warfare.

On August 14th, 521 KG, a message went out over Emmitian Colonial Radio. It was a simple call-in show, but it held a code which brought the Emmitians to arms. Emmitur himself had specified a joke to be told by the caller, and when it was told, the Revolution would begin. It was told just in time, and suddenly the radio went off air. The voice of Emmitur came over the airwaves and told the citizens of the colony to rise up in revolution. That the power plants, media stations, police stations and postal offices all around the colony had just been seized by the revolutionaries. The police were caught off guard. Most surrendered and joined the revolution, others were bayoneted in the streets or shot by firing squad. The only militia contingent to stay loyal to the Elizhian Respublica was surrounded in the Rostovka post office and besieged. The siege lasted two days, whereupon the entire division surrendered.

Meeting in Melitopol, Emmitur and his lieutenants formed the First Emmitian Congress. A proud defender of Republican ideals, Emmitur had envisioned a free land, where citizens would enjoy massive freedom and liberty. There, in the Melitopolite City Forum, they signed the “ACT OF INDEPENDENCE WAR”, formally declaring a war for freedom against Elizhia. Backed up by over three-hundred signatures by sovereign nations, the Republic was formally brought into being. The Elizhian Republic had few troops to fight such a guerilla war, and so signed a document recognizing Emmitia on November 2nd, 521 KG. In the following election, Emmitur was named President for Life.

In the following years, Emmitur ruled well. He established trade and industry. He built infrastructure, roads and railroads. He set up administration and a decentralized government, to guard against an enemy strike. Places of culture sprang up, as Emmitians attended all forms of musical performances, from the most astute to the most pauperish. Emmitia became a prosperous nation of over one-hundred million people. He died peacefully, on his bed, in the year 549 KG. He died in the city named after him, the new capitol of the republic, Emmitia. The nation also took up this name, in honor of their hero.

La Petomenon and The Confederation

However, his republic did not last long afterward. The weak, ineffectual congress, used to relying on the leadership and power of Emmitur, collapsed. The stronger members of the congress went to their own cities and consolidated their power. The more ambitious of the military leaders broke their army groups away from the decentralized power of the remainder of centralization, and brought them back to their own cities. With arms and armor, they forged their own city states out of the country, carving out their little pieces of land and cities from the landscape. It was not long before war erupted.

Emmitians remember this time as the La Petomenon, Emmitian for The Violence. There was not one year when one of the petty lords of the cities all around had declared war on one another. Armies met in the field and often both returned in tatters to their nurses. Some cities were wiped off the map. Others were created by refugees fleeing from the conflict. There was an unspoken agreement of total war. Civilians were not off-limits and were often bombed into dust by opposing air forces, if they were unlucky enough to be against a city-state with an airforce. Gaining and holding strength by sheer military force alone, the generals (sategonte) of the cities were pure dictators. They bolstered their armies through violent conscription and took families apart without compunction. The Emmitians had settled into a period of bloodshed, violence, conflict and above all total war that would last for nearly two-hundred years.

In the year 755 KG, the Elizhian Respublica saw its chance to re-annex Emmitia. It had been recently reconquering the provinces one by one by one and assembled the Seventh Liberty Crusade. It was to be the final Elizhian hope of Empire.

On the day of April 22nd, 755 KG, Elizhian forces dropped from the skies. There was not, over one city, the sun shining due to all of the Elizhian troops participating in the airborne invasion. Most generals did not fight, but feel back to easily defensible positions. The leader of Rostovka, however, Marshal Ernst Weiss, personally led his own army against the invading Elizhians. Amazingly, they fell back and were sent into a rout, from which they were followed and massacred. He sent embassies to the neighboring city states, telling them of his victory. They brought their armies under his banner for now. Pulling back from their cities, they joined Weiss’ armies on the march. There they merged into a single military force. Troops from all around Emmitia joined, and the numbers swelled. The numbers of tanks took up entire fields at night, and on the march, the army would stretch for nearly fifty miles if a mere section of it were seen.

By now, the Elizhians had formed up as well. Their general, Posusco, had thought this to be an easy-won victory. With all of the Crusade strength behind him, how could he lose? But, on the night of May 12, Weiss’ wholly Emmitian army surprised the Elizhians in camp. With an armored charge that could only be possibly compared to in scale to Napoleon’s at Waterloo or to Darius’ at Gaugamela, the entire armed force of the Elizhians was wiped out, most without a fight. The quick tanks of Emmitia continued to surround the camp. The united airforces of Emmitia pummeled the camp with bombs. Soldiers built foxholes to try and hide, but it was to no avail. Most of the food in the camp had been destroyed, and supplies were nearly spent. Numerous attempt to charge the Emmitian troops, who had dug in around the camp, failed miserably. There were few days where the cannons did not roar with fire and fury as they dropped explosive shells like rain down onto the ground. Smoke covered the ground like fog. The dirt was scorched and sand had been melted into shards of glass by the intense fire.

One week later, May 19th, Weiss ordered the assault. Innumerable amounts of soldiers arose from their trenches and charged into the camp. The artillery hushed. Tanks also charged in at key points, and took out the few cannons and tanks left. The Elizhian troops, without any sort of ammunition or will to fight left, surrendered. Posusco handed over his sword. With it, his head was cut off and sent to the Elizhian Prime Minister with the note attached:

“When you next invade our nation, get someone with a stronger neck.”

The Countercrusades and the Fall of Elizhia

The Emmitians from here roused the newly conquered nations of Elizhian into rebellion. In a counter crusade of amazing scale and ferocity, the Emmitians lept from one nation to the other, liberating them. They pushed the Elizhian army to the gates of the capitol, which was only spared after the Elizhians gave a formal, unconditional surrender to the nations united against them, let by the sovereign state of Emmitia. In the surrender, it was stated the Elizhia was never to gain an armed force over the strength of one-hundred thousand, fifty tanks, and absolutely no supply apparatus allowing an army to fight abroad. The Elizhians resigned their dreams of glory, like the days of their height after the first three Liberty Crusades. However, in the final battle, Weiss himself was killed. Panic struck the camp. Soldiers were not sure who to follow anymore, and did not take commands from their original generals. In the confusion, however, Erwin Weiss walked forward and pulled the ring off of his dead father’s finger. He stood in front of the troops and gave a speech rallying them:

“ Citizens of the nation of Emmitur. Your leader has been killed in battle and has died gloriously, though his cause seems to have died with him, based on your attitudes. You have stopped fighting and have let the Elizhians recover. We must remember now that we are here to end the Elizhian menace from ever harming our wives or children ever again, and we have the forces of fifty and nine nations at our back. We have the largest army ever assembled since the Corporate Wars, and yet we halt before the gates of our foe because we grieve over our leader. Well, I am his son, and Emmitur willing, I have some of the traits that made him great. Will you follow me to deliver the deathblow to this plague upon our home, and to bring peace to our world?”

The soldiers cheered. Once more they were united under a single leader and they, under his lead, charged the Elizhian Presidential Palace, which was outside the capitol proper. It took fifteen minutes to capture. Prime Minister Vosim was taken prisoner, and surrendered the nation of Elizhia in unconditional surrender.

The troops returned home from campaign to the cheers of their wives, children, and those who stayed home. Erwin Weiss took his position in Melitopol, the old capitol. It was his son that would re-unite Emmitia.

Erick Weiss was born just a year after the Grand Campaign, in 760 KG. Taking over the proud, and respectable military force of Melitopol, he sought to re-unite Emmitia. To become another Emmitur. He struck north towards his grandfather’s old city of Rostovka, and subdued it. However, the cities of Caracalla and Numidus united against them. In a terrible battle, Erick Weiss was defeated and forced back to Melitopol. Refusing to chase him into his home country, the enemy withdrew. Knowing that he could not unite Emmitia under military strength, he would do so with diplomacy. So he formed a web of alliances.

From Urok in the north to Akhaten in the south, soon all of the major cities were united behind him in diplomacy. The minor cities soon followed. Meeting in Melitopol, the delegates from all of the major cities signed the Confederate Constitution. Finally, after two hundred year, Emmitia was at peace. The confederation lived largely without incident, until the later years. It prospered, and soon the name of Emmitian scholars, artists, writers, playwrights, craftsmen and theorists became known throughout the land as one of the bests. Emmitia had turned her swords into plowshafts and set aside war for the moment.

It was in 921 KG that the Confederacy began to collapse. The loose confederation was splitting apart again. Diplomatic relations ceased, or rather, became unregulated by the Melitopolite central government. Without any overwatching force in Emmitia, the leaders of the city-states proceeded to slavery for their own ends. Literally, if one was not a soldier, one became a laborer. The universities were farmed for logistics and the more sensitive matters of the military, or were sent for the more education-demanding jobs, such as architect or engineer.

It was about this time that the Emmitian Worker’s Party arose. Espousing rights for the proletariat and equality for all, they attracted many numbers of citizens who were tired of their leaders and their brutal ways. The headquarters in Akhaten received hundreds of letters from soldiers and generals alike professing their alliance to the cause of proletarian liberty. Though it did not act.

Most of the EWP were, in fact, moderates. They believed that the Confederation could be reformed from the inside, and a violent revolution was not necessary. However, there were fringe groups that eventually arose within the EWP. The leader of one of these groups, Veriti, broke away from the EWP and formed his own group, the REWP (Revolutionary Emmitian Worker's Party). It slowly growed in power as the radical parties came under its wing. Soon, most the EWP was annexed by it, as the EWP had condemned the now highly popular group. Street fights broke out between the moderate EWP and the REWP. Because the city states thought that these would weaken each other to the point of inaction, they did not act. In fact, the exact opposite occured. The REWP footsoldiers gained a taste for combat and experiance.

On November 3rd, 921 KG, the REWP troops seized the municipal works all around Emmitia. They announced the revolution over the radio, and even the moderates now took up arms. The city states attempted to resist, but could not fight the united power of the Communists or find the will to unite to crush them. Therefore, one by one, the citystates fell to the Revolutionary Emmitian Worker's Party. Melitopol was the last to fall, on January 4th 922 KG. There, Veriti established the Emmitian Politburo, a central government such as the one Emmitur himself had instated, and united the military under the red and gold banner of the new Communist state. Although met with intense reaction by neighboring states, the Emmitian troops abroad fought for the right to maintain their newly founded state, eventually turning back each and every one of the challengers. Veriti set himself up as the Secretary General in Melitopol and took nearly complete control of the state. He began by purging the civilian population, especially anti-communists and anarchists. Then, he continued with a purge of the high-level officers in the military, and forced an oath by the lower soldiers that he was the state incarnate. With the military behind him, he launched an invasion for the expansion of Emmitia.

Emmitian troop carriers landed in the land called Navaya Zemlya (Lit. New Land, there is no connection to the geographical location in real life). With a military machine behind him, Veriti quickly subjugated the peoples. Throughout the next twenty years, Veriti nearly tripled the size of Emmitia.

Language

The Emmitian alphabet is, first of all, syllabic. That is, no sound can exist without a consonant and a vowel. Therefore, the exact spelling of “llama” would be possible to express in Emmitian characters. The Emmitian consonants are..

K S T N H M Y R W N (Nasal) V P J F L C G TS

The Emmitian vowel are the same as in English – A, E, I, O, U. The sounds expressed by the vowels are..

A – Long ‘A’ (such as the a in ALE) when the firs character or in the middle of a word. At the end, it is a short ‘a’, such as in all.

E – Long “E”, such as with the English double e. (mEEt)

I – Long I, as in (t-IE). When at the end of a word, except in declensions, it is barely pronounced, and is more like an extension of the previous sound rather than one to itself.

O – Short o, such as in the English “out.”

U – Long o, as in fOOd.

The Emmitian consonants sounds are..

K: KAE (KAH), KEE, KAI, KOH, KOO:::

S: - Note, some special rules, see end.::: SAE (SAH), SHEE, SHAI, SOH, SHOO:::

T: TAE (TAH), TEE, TAI, TOH, TOO:::

N: NAE (NAH), NEE, NAI, NOH, NOO:::

H: HAE (HAH), HEE, HAI, HOH, HOO:::

M: MAE (MAH), MEE, MAI, MOH, MOO:::

Y: YAE (YAH), YEE, YAI, YOH, YOO:::

R: RAE (RAH), REE, RAI, ROH, ROO:::

W: WAE (WAH), WEE, WAI, W-OH, WOO:::

N (Nasal) NYAE (NYAH), NYEE, NYAI, NYOH, NYOO:::

V: VAE (VAH), VEE, VAI, VOH, VOO:::

P: PAE (PAH), PEE, PAI, POH, POO:::

J: ZHAE (ZHAH), ZHEE, ZHAI, ZHOH, ZHOO:::

F: FAE (FAH), FEE, FAI, FOH, FOO:::

L: LAE (LAH), LEE, LAI, LOH, LOO:::

C: - Special Rules, see below. CAE (CAH, CHAEU, CHA), CHYE, CHAI, CHU (CU):::

G- GAE (GAH), GEE, GAI, GOH, GOO:::

TS- TSAE (TSAH), TSEE, TSAI, TSOH, TSOO:::

S: The consonant S is pronounced the same as in English only with the vowels A and O. Otherwise, it is pronounced as an SH. And, at the end of the word with either I, E, or U, the vowel is silent and the word is ended with SH.

C: "C" is by far the most troublesome of the Emmitian consonants. Before the vowel A, it is pronounced the same as a K, except when the vowel symbol ahead of it has an I or an E. When the those vowels are put ahead of it, the C is pronounced CH, and the vowel A is transformed into a pronunciation phoeneticized as eau when in front of E and as a a more simple CHA when in front of I. When placed with the vowel E and I, it also becomes a CH sound, although with E it becomes ye, to make the sound Chye. With I, it stays as CH to become CHAI. However, at the end of words with the vowel I, the vowel is silent and the word is simply read ending with a CH. It stays as CO with O. When placed with the vowel U, it transformed into a CH sound, to create the sound CHU in the middle or beginning of a word, but at the end of the word, it is read as CU.

Prepositional case

When a noun is used in conjunction with a preposition, the word goes into the prepositional case. The prepositional case is simply a noun without any sort of declension.

For example: La nesicu

La – in Nesicu – Example

La nesicu – VLR (To love)

There are three vowels that have to be filled in. Each of the vowels will stand for a part of the verb. The first vowel, after the V, stands for the person and the number of people doing the action. The second vowel determines the state of the verb, whether it is polite or informal, and the final vowel determines the tense of the verb.

1st vowel – Person and number

A – I ela - We E – You ele – You (pl) I – He/she/it ile – They

2nd vowel – Formal, informal

E – Informal U – Formal

3rd vowel – Tense A – Present E – Past I – Future O – Imperfect Ate – Future perfect Eti – Imperfect singular Etite – Imperfect plural

The use of the word AND, Articles

The word AND is called an enclitic in the Emmitian language. It is attached to the end of the word that is described by the “and.”

He went to the store, and to the bar.

In Emmitian, the AND between the store and bar would be attached to the end of BAR.

He went to the store, to the bar-and.

The word in Emmitian which means AND is Sice.

Emmitian has two articles, a definite and an indefinite article.

Ce = The.

Cenu = A, an.

Syntax

Emmitian is a SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) language. The subject comes first, the person who does the action, the object comes second, the person the verb is happening to, and the verb finishes the sentence or the thought.

I went to the store. – English syntax.

I to the store went. – Emmitian syntax.

Imperial Latin

The Emmitian Latin used by the Emperors is a far throw from the Latin of Augustus. The alphabet is more of a cross between Cyrillic and Greek alphabets, and the language itself sounds like modern-day Romanian. This is due to the impurities in language and how lanugage itself tends to be twisted by time.
