Overview
The Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune of Okanama City (abbreviated: ASCOC), commonly known as Okanama City, is a Anarcho-Syndicalist commune that was founded in Janurary of 1998, after the events of the Great Okanaman Proletarian Revolution (GOPC) of 1992-1998. From becoming independent from Luo Geng in 1868 to the formal dissolution of powers in 1998, it was known as The Popular Democratic Republic of Okanama City (PDROC).
Since the GOPC and the establishment of Okanama City as the ASCOC, the Okanaman economy has been witness to a dramatic level of economic and social growth in the past five years, which has resulted in the re-industrialization of Okanama City, the upgrading of its telecommunications infrastructure, the development of renewable power sources, particularly nuclear power, the updating of its Heathcare system and the re-development of its educational system.
Okanama City is governed by the entire population, through the Popular Council of the Peoples of Okanama City / L'Counseil Populaire du Pueples de Cité Okanama (PCPOC/CPPOC) a city-wide revolutionary council that is based on consensus and through the Syndicalist Union of Oknaman Unity / L'Union Syndicaliste de Unité Okanamien (SUOU/USUO), which is in turn responsible for the popular administration of the means of production.
History
Before the arrival of the French in 1771, Okanama City did not exist. Rather, it was just a uninhabited peninsula that belonged to the slave-owning nation of Raissa. This changed with the Raissan-French war of 1754-1763, probably provoked by Raissians trying to prevent the growth of France's colony in Alcaera - the modern-day New Paristan.
The French Colonial Era (1763-1789)
During the Rassian-French War of 1754-1763, The French, aided by their Paristani colonists, captured what is now the Okanaman Peninsula, and the Raissans, frightened by the power of a advanced France and the emerging colony of New Paristan, gave up the peninsula to France as a offering of peace, along with a large part of its territory. The peninsula and the territory belonging to Raissa were integrated into the growing colony.
Seeing the need to keep the Raissians in check on the peninsula, the French colonial administration permitted its Paristani settlers to establish a town on the peninsula, one that would be able to restrict the ability of Nicopolis to maintain a monopoly on trade in the Morgan Sea, and one that would serve as a defensive barrier to attack from other colonial powers.
On February 15, 1771, 400,000 settlers came to the western tip of the peninsula and established such a settlement. They named this settlement Rouen, thus beginning Okanaman history.
Between 1771 and 1789, the population of the settlement exploded to 1,500,000, due to the profitability of the port and the growing prosperity of the inhabitants. Also during this time, it became a hotbed of Anti-colonial activity, with many actively demanding the independence of New Paristan from French rule. The reason for this was because many of Rouen's population also experienced the brutal policies of France, causing an overwhelming growth of hatred towards France.
In fact, Rouen was one of the first places to rise up in rebellion against France in the days immediately before the French Revolution of 1789, leading to Paristanis in other towns and cities to rise. This eventually lead to an outright declaration of independence and battles ensued for the better part of the year, until the newly-independent Republic of New Paristan was able to bring things under control.
The Paristani Era (1789-1819)
In the years immediately after independence, Rouen experienced another wave of growth, pushing the number of the population to at least 2,000,000. This lead to the expansion of the city and the creation of its second district, [[Le Petit-Monmartre]. This new wave of growth came from the rise in the birth rate of those in the city, in addition to people from other parts of New Paristan.
