Eggraria (officially the State of Eggraria) is a federation within the South Pacific, particularly Bailtem. It consists of four provinces (Eggraria, Manifesti, the Terralands, and Teokratika), and the federal district of New Manifesti. The nation consists of rougly 20 million citizens, and a population of 2 million non-citizen residents. Major population centers consist of the cities New Manifesti (5 million), Rose City (8.5 million), Almanifesti (2 million), Terraton (1.8 million), and Teokratika (3 million).
The State of Eggraria operates as a constitutional federation, with each province capable of self-governance within the confines of federal law, and a federal council known as the Prismatic Council. The Prismatic Council is comprised of 4 representatives of each province and 4 federal sector directors (The Representative of State, The Representative of Trade, the Representative of Defense, and the Representative of Social Services). Each of these federal sectors comprise different agencies which compose a bureaucracy which the nation acts through. The Eggraria and Manifesti provinces operate under a parliamentary legislature, with an elected governor and an elected Prismatic Council representative. The Terralands province operates under a direct democracy, with an elected Democratic Overseer and an elected Prismatic Council representative. The Teokratika province operates under a limited monarchy in which all leaders and representatives are appointed.
Etymology
The name Ōvland originates from Deovalish texts that discuss a particular tribe of people living in Manifesti tribes in the early 14th century. "Ōvlandə", the term used to describe Eggrarians, was first discovered in ancient Manifesti kingdoms as a description of the original nomadic tribe of people who lived in the area. The term would see very little use for the area until around the early 19th century once small cities had developed as homelands for the Eggrarian people.
The term "Eggraria" and "Eggrarian" would develop as a translation into Austral around the late 19th century, as more people began to immigrate into the region prior to and during the beginning of the establishment of Eggraria as a distinct nation. Prior to its adoption, the terms "Oevland" and "Oevlander" were primarily used to describe the Eggrarian people as a distinct identity from Manifesti, Terralander, or Teokratikan. The nation would officially adopt "Eggraria" and "Eggrarian" as the official Austral translation of the name in 1931.
History
Pre-History of Eggraria
Prior to the development of the Eggrarian nation as well as its official founding in 1843, the region of the Eggrarian nation was overseen by an ethnic population known as the Manifesti people. In the 11th century, records first discussed the Manifesti people as a "disaparate ethnicity, each set up into distinct tribes whom share only a common ancestor; they are virtually different otherwise". Historians generally agree that the unification of the pre-Eggrarian kingdoms primarily occurred from the years 1205-1278, with three distinct powers known as the Kingdoms of Manifesti, the Holy Order of Teokra, and the Terralands. Each of these locations would solidify under three distinct identities, with some intermingling reported. Among all three nations, a fourth identity with no distinct nation tied to it was reported to have existed since the 14th century. This identity was referred to primarily as the "nomad tribe", but would later be agreed upon by historians to be the first Eggrarians.
