Viliakmon (Pacifica)

Associated Clans of Viliakmon (Pacifica)

Viliakmon, officially the Associated Clans of Viliakmon, is a self-proclaimed "highly localized representative-democratic" state located on the western coast of the Cordilian continent. It is home to 21,749,000 inhabitants, highly diversified in their ethnic and religious heritages, a division mainly disregarded as a standard for identity among the locals. However, the Viliakmoni have historically been very divided between various local Clans, a tradition dating back to (what the archeologists now believe to be) the Neolithic period. As such, the Clan-based identity has always been a major issue for the Viliakmoni territory to be organized into a single state. This lead to to isolation from the international community and small-scale but countless blood feud conflicts within the Viliakmoni. These distinctions were made worse during The Total War of Aggression (1931-1944), where Clans began forming resistance movement factions, sometimes based around ideology. It is to be noted that it was also the cause for Viliakmon mostly liberating itself in 1944., without foreign aid. However, international recognition wouldn't come until 1961., when Viliakmon was granted international recognition due to its' neutrality during The Great War of Pacifica. Todays form of Viliakmon (1996-1998), is centered around The Constitution, written and re-adjusted by Iakov Xhuglini, the founder of the Associated Clans of Viliakmon; ending a 65-year long conflicts within the Viliakmon territory. Today, after ending the foreign policy of isolationism (1998-2022), Viliakmon appears to be a stable, modernized country.

Viliakmon has developed its' mining and metallurgy sector, production of pharmaceuticals and chemicals and the use of Hydropower from the two, fast mountainous lakes in order to be self-reliant on energy. It is internationally known for shipbuilding and trade, often exporting diesel turbines, coal and pharmaceuticals; needed for trucks, cargo chips, modern aircraft, heating, energy and medicinal use. The shipbuilding industry could be traced back to the prehistorical tendency of Viliakmoni tribes to base their diet off of fishing and their sacred understanding of the Cordilian Ocean. Nearing the deepest rift in Pacifica, the Ocean is thought to be home to ''Time Before Time'' and ''Time After Time''; a deity known as ''The Primordial God Chaos'' is believed to reside in the deep ocean, a mythos which even today by many Viliakmoni of all faiths believe to be true. Likely, all of this explains why Viliakmon is mainly a maritime power.

The Arromanean language is a specific variant, originating at first from the Proto-Tarnian language in north-west Bailtem, making it in a way part of the Tarnian language family. It's thought that a group of tribesmen, until then mainly shepherds, migrated from Trevelia, located in the north Cordilia, since the country was exposed to many outside raids and invasions. Eventually, the travelling tribesmen began living as nomadic people, following the central mountain chain in Cordilia, until arriving at what is now Viliakmon. Interacting with already residing tribesfolk in these territories who also lead a nomadic lifestyle, the Arromanean language was naturally born, experiencing influence from Bregoderian and Kretti speaking Clans. Eventually, a predominant version of Arromanean dialect was formalized into being the basis for the official Arromanean language - the Tszintszin dialect. It is because of this natural progression that Arromanean is the official language of Viliakmon, as it is understood by even the most remote Clans living in the least populated settlements.

Etymology:

The meaning of 'Viliakmon' stems from the proto-Arromanean word for "steppelands" which is ''Vili'', the "Akmon" part is shrouded in the aformentioned Paleolithic period. Anthropologists claim that "Akmon" comes from some unknown variant of proto-Bregoderian, though they can't discern what it meant as any sign of its existence is now untraceable in the Bregodarian language. Linguists, on the other hand, claim that "Akmon" is merely a modern adaptation of proto-Krettian naming one of the rivers flowing into the main Cordilian Ocean, "Halakhaos". However, linguists are unsure whether "Halakhaos" was referring to the river, the Ocean or recalling the Chaos God by which "Hala" would even in modern Krettian stand for "Holy Dome".

History:

FFA and Modern Day (1996-:

"Operation Shakedown"

1. Whistleblower alarm (7th Aug 2022)

2. Battle in the Hope (14th-17th Aug 2022).
3. End of the Operation (18th Aug 2022).

"War of Ten Families" and "The Cobweb Conspiracy":

Succeeding the end of "Operation Shakedown", the "War of Ten Families" has begun. Government officials have explicitly stated that they are not going to be involved in this conflict, reciting Decree 8.

Viliakmon appears to have its' own representative in a hidden organization, the representative being "Participant 2" or "P02" who appears to be influential. The Viliakmoni government has made no statements on this conspiracy for now.

Government:

The Constitution:

The Constitution of Viliakmon covers the basic legal framework and limits of the government.

Some important parts are outlined in Article III specifically; including:

"1. Viliakmon recognizes the DUTY of self-armament for it's citizens. (1a) All citizens who are capable and of adequate age will attend compulsory military service."

As well as;

"6. Viliakmon recognizes the PRIVILEGE to commit crime by their citizens, following the OMERTA rule. Citizens pledging OMERTA OATH are EXEMPT from the rule of law and thus any and all laws of Viliakmon. Should a citizen break the OMERTA OATH and not receive adequate punishment, they are to permanently lose PRIVILEGE of this Rule and be put to trial for all crimes"

Passed Decrees (Extraconstitutional Laws):

• Decree 1 (1996): Deals with preparation for "The Long March".
• Decree 2 (1998): Announces a "New Age" for Viliakmon and formally enacts a policy of self-isolationism.
• Decree 3 (2001): Deals with reformation of the Clan infighting into the GCDP, enacting a detailed and extensive Conscription Program.
• Decree 4 (2003): Further sanctions any deviation from full-reserve banking monetary policy, making the Ministry subject to very harsh sanctions.
• Decree 5 (2006): Extensively formulates the Emergency Alarm System and outlines the plan for a professional military.
• Decree 6 (2013): Proclaims efficiency and officially announces the formation of Viliakmoni Armed Forces (V.A.F.) as the professional military.
• Decree 7 (2017): Allows the use of foreign currencies in trade under very byzantine and specific provisions.
• Decree 8 (2022): Fixes a loophole which lead to "Operation Shakedown" and government official favoritism in organized crime.

Foreign Relations:

The Viliakmoni Approach:

Isolationism ended as an official foreign policy in 2022., though one could argue that Viliakmon had pursued isolationism for most of its' existence. The state government has remained silent about any alliances. Communication with the international community has mainly been done by private Viliakmoni actors - whether large corporations or the organized crime network. This has lead to some calling Viliakmon "a mobster state".

Viliakmon enacted a supposedly very extensive "Foreign Affairs Strategy & Goals" document, after the meeting with the head of state of Tekarai on the 18th of August 2022. Dubbed by the Office of the Head of State as "The Viliakmoni Approach" it revolves around balancing the world stage through incentivizing or discouraging large alliances and/or global powers as to avoid a unipolar state of affairs. The current balancing act revolves around "Balance of the Rectangle" - where it seeks to provide equal footing of: the Central Entente; U.S.I., the Ryccian Junta and the Huawan Central Cordilian Project. These are the only publicly known goals as of now.

The World Forum:

Viliakmon is a member of the World Forum, the accession was a success only because the entry didn't require 2/3 member supermajority vote, meaning abstains were not counted in the final assessment.

The Tarnian League:

Viliakmon is part of the Tarnian League, somehow.

Relations with Huawan:

The Viliakmoni people see the Peony of Huawan in high regard, though the same cannot be said for her subordinaries. Viliakmon is yet to establish a formal alliance with Huawan, difficulties arising from Viliakmoni's bad perception of the UPRAH and Valkyria.

Relations with Tekarai:

Viliakmon saw benefits in trade with Tekarai during the Great War. Their relations were mostly abandoned after capitulation of the Tekarai Nationalists and exchange of the Nuclear Weapons Project. From 1960s, Viliakmon has a policy of accepting refugees and asylum seekers from Tekarai. From 2001. onwards, private commercial trade began rising as Tekarai mostly completed their reconstruction caused by the Great War. In 2022., the Heads of State met in Ochridae's "State Square" where a 12 hour long negotiation was held, resulting in a series of agreements being signed.
