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".

Citing the law in question, "The property type is presumptive unless put to question by (...) in which case, The High Court of Appeal is to give an opinion, which may be overruled by simple majority vote in the Lower House of the Parliament or by the Office of the Head of State".

The 8 types of property which Viliakmon officially recognizes as existing are:

1. Personal Property - (defined by court precedent in 2011) "that which belongs to one physical matter and may be either an inanimate object of whichever size, a reasonable amount of capital given the matter's profile or constructs sourced from the single physical matter to which it feels a connection towards"

Military:

Extensive Conscription:

GCDP:

Article III of The Constitution of Viliakmon obliges all citizens of all genders to attend military service for three years, initially ‘providing that they are under the age of 27’, though nowadays the conscription is always 18-21 years of age. The mandatory service could be divided into six different periods, each lasting six months and involving different categories.

The first six months of service are delegated to the trope of an boot sergeant who is to discipline the new enrolls through employment of strict timetables and daily duties. An assessment of standardization is conducted during these six months in order to later split the enrolls into different categories, each being tailored generation by generation as a challenge but nevertheless achievable. The first six months of service are conducted near the largest city of Aelbasan, providing newcomers the opportunity to experience and overcome a cultural shock in this diverse setting.

In the next six months, each conscript is assigned a different category with standards of fitness and discipline they must meet at the end of the first year. The programmes vary from free body excercises all the way to conducting weekly marathon runs, depending on the given category. This standardization is set in Monasteria, providing the challenge of an arid, warm climate with varying hill terrain.

Only in the second year does the service introduce firearm training. There is not much difference during the entire second year apart from the routine getting progressively physically more challenging while the firearms used for training go from standard pistols to bolt rifles. Second year is attended in Prilyep, providing very challenging mountainous terrain. Generally, the second year is considered an ‘eliminatory’ phase where two categories of conscripts are formulated for year 3.

The final year introduces ‘Category GCDP’ and ‘Category EFFR’. The former stands for ‘Category of General Civilian Defense Protocol’. Conscripts who fall into this category have at some point expressed alarming distress during the military training – either physical or emotional. The latter stands for 'Category of Efficient For Forces Regiment' - usually meaning that these conscripts have proven to be suitable for further training and education needed to join the V.A.F.

Border Guard and Border Watchtower:

GCDP was enacted in 2001. whose main goal at the time was reforming the Clan loyalty and the unregulated gun culture of the Viliakmoni civilians into an organized national approach to defense. Nowadays, the Protocol is known by nearly everyone under the age of ~50. It is now the first line of defense on the borders of Viliakmon, furthermore the GCDP is to be very reliable for use by the Professional Ground Forces if the enemy is to break deep into Viliakmoni territory.

The training of Category for GCDP involves: practices for developing quicker physical reaction times; education for providing first aid to injured people; training involving the use of the Local Emergency Alarm System (LEAS); excercises conducted in the place of residence where that civilian comes from and might live in the future; education and war games involving the use of terrain against enemy invasions; education and war games involving street-to-street urban warfare; survival techniques in the event of food and water shortages and more.

The GCDP may, upon the last 6 months of service, file an application to permanently serve in: the Border Guard of Viliakmon; the Border Watchtower of Viliakmon; The Engineering Military Specialization of Professional Viliakmon Armed Forces; The Medicinal Military Specialization of Professional Viliakmon Armed Forces. These applications are examined by a collective of training officers who have been training the specific troops for three years.

Most of the applications for Border Guard and Border Watchtowers are accepted. Upon approval, these applicants learn the further use of the Local Emergency Alarm System' and its’ infrastructural link to the National Emergency Alarm System (NEAS). They are taught alternative ways of launching the NEAS. Furthermore, they are taught how to recognize false alarms. Collectively, the EAS is commanded by the (INFORMATION CLASSIFIED). Upon the NEAS being declared by the commander of EAS: the Ministry for Emergency Matters is appointed instantly by the Head of State; A nation-wide State of Emergency is declared wherein the Head of State and the Ministry of Emergency Matters guide the population through ‘Emergency Decree(s)’.

Engineering and Medicinal Groups:

Most of the applications for the Engineering and Medicinal Military Specialization are rejected, though the applicants may file an amendment to the Conscription Lieuthenant. This amendment then proceeds to put the applicants through a university-level testing of their knowledge on military engineering and military medicine, whose questionnaire is constructed under the assumption that they have completed Year 1 of Bachelors’ in these areas. If the applicants pass the test, they are immediately accepted.

The Engineering and Medicinal Military Conscripts then enroll into the second year of Bachelors’ Degree for Military Engineering and Military Medicine. Simultaneously, they are sent on practice missions revolving situations where they will be in future needed. Upon completion of the Bachelor’s Degree, the Conscripts become part of the Viliakmoni Armed Forces. They are then assigned, based on their gradings and performance during the practice missions, the specific Military Operation Specialization (MOS) within one of the three conventional military branches (Army; Navy or Airforce). They are considered non-combatants during war but are high-value Prisoners of War. The Armed Forces of Viliakmon are well-aware of this.

Viliakmon Armed Forces (V.A.F.):

Organization:

File:Chainofcommand.jpg

Highest Positions on the Chain of Command

The highest Chain of Command holds the title of "Highest Commander", currently the Head of State. However, the HoS being the "Highest Commander" is not legally codified, as Iakov Xhuglini was bestowed this title by the troops at the end of "The Long March". Constitutionally, it IS codified that the HoS appoints the Minister of Secret Agency directly, while the Bicameral Parliament appoint the Minister for Law Enforcement and the Minister for Allied Forces. All of these positions are a method of "civilian control over the military" and even during the "Operation Shakedown" crisis have proven to be efficient.

The Minister of Law Enforcement further appoints the Chief Commander of Police Forces, who is held accountable for actions of his departments yet enjoys autonomy in how we structures his own departments. The Minister appoints the Commander of the Military Police, who is responsible not only for the Military Police in its' entirety but also for The Chief of Staff of the GCDP and Chief of Conscription group, the latter usually holding the rank of "Lieutenant" in the V.A.F. Army previously.

The Highest Commander, the Minister of Law Enforcement and the Minister of Allied Forces then collectively appoint the Commander for Coordination, this position having insurmountable value to the whole country as he is to coordinate the V.A.F., the Military Police and the GCDP when the National Emergency Alarm System is activated. Furthermore, the position is equal in authority to the V.A.F. Chief of Command, who is usually also the Naval Commander and is responsible for appointing the future Naval, Army and Airforce Commanders.

The V.A.F. creates a differentiation between "Officers" and "Recruits", the difference is displayed in insignia which their uniforms are decorated with. In practice, each branch is responsible for how these differences are handled as well as setting a broad criteria for advancing in each rank.

Army Recruits have the ranks of: Foot Soldier -> Private -> Army Corporal -> Army Sergeant.

Army Officers have the ranks of: Officer -> Master Officer -> Lieutenant -> Colonel -> General -> Major.

Navy Recruits have the ranks of: Seaman -> Sailor -> Petty Officer -> Greenwater Officer = Bluewater Officer. ^{Despite the name, they are not "Officers" in the V.A.F.}

Navy Officers have the ranks of: Naval Commodore -> Vice Admiral -> Admiral -> Grand Admiral.

Airforce Recruits have the ranks of: Airman -> Pilot -> Wingman -> Coordinant.

Airforce Officers have the ranks of: Group Commandant -> Vice Marshal -> Strategic Marshal = Tactical Marshal -> Grand Marshal.

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.
