Kobaulashlvi

Kobaulashlivi is a constitutional monarchy in western Lemuria, an Afro-Lemurian country like Macehualuti they share a close history. Kobaulashlivi is divided into territories and clans reigned from the capital province.

Politics
Kobaulashlivi is divided into 10 districts, 2 of which are provinces (the capital), 1 is a centralized territory and the other 7 are clan lands. The clan lands appoint people to the parliment gaining 10 seats themselves, the centralized territory gets 5 and the capital gains 20. In total there are 115 seats.

Political parties
There are 7 different political parties, named Umhana, within the country. There are 4 which are often bought into 1 when discussing politics, the Mashakana Alliance. They remain in a comfortable majority though there are political divides in the alliance.
 * Peoples Communist Party, the successor to the old Labour Union Party, is the ruling communist party and wields a large amount of influence in the countries 2 major cities. Many small paramilitary offshoots of the organization fought in the Macehualuti Civil War and the loss of it bought a great shame as their support of the communists and early victories became a good part of the pride of their party.
 * Wakla Party, a regional party for the clan residing in the northern 2 provinces. They win a majority of the elections there and always send their delegates to the national parliment. They're consercative and often ally with the Mashakana Alliance.
 * Jalakamal Unitary Party, the 2 westernmost provinces under the Jalakamal clan are often overwhelmingly in support of this organization with minor members of the clan often voting for them in the centralized territory. They're very anti-communist and have enacted bills banning the PCP in their clan lands, which wasn't met with positive feedback in the rest of Kobaulashlivi. They're a member of the Mashakana Alliance though some have drawn connections to the Molandaka 9 party.
 * Nolukur, a party which promotes a centralized bureucracy which would remove the borders and integrate all clan lands and form them into provinces. The provinces would be ruled by government appointed figures then. An on and off member of the Mashakana Alliance.
 * Wasjahl, the monarchist party. Ever since the monarchy gave up power and formed the parliament there have been calls to bring back the monarchy and give the king full power. They've often sat at a comfortable 20% seats in parliment, though they've been proven to have popular ideas. In 1935 a small organization of Wasjahl officials convened and petitioned the king to declare a renewed kingdom. Unclear is his response though as nothing besides rumors came from this meeting.
 * Republican Democratic Party, one of the most controversial parties they form a good part of the Mashakana Alliance and aswell as wanting to abolish the monarchy they've been championing for a new war against France for the territory stolen from them during the border wars. They've before gained funding from France before obtaining the very anti-French stance, going as far as to getting rifles in 1922 though those are unconfirmed reports.
 * Molandaka 9, the Council of the 9, is a council which believes in fascist ideas. They believe in the idea of the Woljahandalar aswell, an ancient idea back to their days as slaves. The Woljandalar being the chosen leader of the united nation, one chosen by the old gods and meant to be their direct leader. Once he was found by the Council of the 9, the council being 9 elders, they'd form into the Woljandalar Front. A united front which would aim for him to be placed at the head of their nation. Their economic ideas are similar of that to Hitlers Germany and their racial ideas aim to bring back an old caste of people viewing some peoples within Kobaulashlivi as under them.

Royal line
The modern royal line is named Varandamajarakala, meaning The blood which is chosen to rule, though that line is disputed as there are no written accounts of some of the supposed kings of Kobaulashlivi. Some historians theorize that it might've simply been a title though the modern royal family has taken it as a lastnam. This might be supported by the fact that sometimes there's mentioned to be no king at all in their history and there to be an "absent Varandamajarakala". The Royal line supposedly goes all the way back to the 1200s though modern estimates say to the 1700s as the 1400s and 1500s have several periods where no ruler is acknowledged to have ruled. The King, Rajiziyda, came to the throne in 1935 after the passing of his father the same year. His rule is already being predicted to be better than his father, as he was said to have neglected the nation. Refusing to properly industrialize despite many deals from Britain, France, Portugal and even a few from Italy.

Land division
The nation is divided into 8 clan lands, 1 province and 1 centralized territory. The symbols in each province are the crests of the lands. The 7 clan lands house the 4 different clans which are the following. Though these clans do not hold the same power as clans as they used to they still hold a cultural relevance, many within Kobaulashlivi even identifying with their clan before their nation. Then there are the 3 other, the 2 provinces housing the capital Shakwaram. Shakwaram was constructed in the 13th century and the center of the city still retains walls from ages long ago alongside old architecture. The capital itself is often in political turmoil with leftist papers emerging time and time again only to be banned and rallies against and for the government coming up time and time again. The other province houses the major city of Ilayaci. Originally it was formed between a mutually beneficial Wakla-Wakjavnish agreement binding the 2 clans together has now become a major flourishing city housing multiple cultures from across the country. They are a major part of the industrial base of the country and are a hub for the mining done in the country, almost all mined resources going through the city to be exported to foreign ports or sold to local factories. The last is a centralized territory, the middle one (pink on the map) which is mostly nationalized parks, corporate land used for mining and/or small settlements from the clans. Historically the region has remained quite barren with few going there though in recent years with the discoveries of valuable minerals some expeditions to search the mountains have started.
 * Wakla, the northern clan (brown on the map) is divided into Wakla North and Wakla South. They're one of the oldest clans and lost one of their lands during the war with France, going from the biggest clan in Kobaulashlivi to as big as the rest.
 * Jalakamal, the western clan (green on the map) is divided into Jalakamal Upper and lower. Upper being in the south and the lower being in the north.
 * Wakjhavnish, the eastern clan (dark blue on the map). Historically a minority, they've often been very secluded from the rest of the country. During the formation of Akamatuli they were extended an invitation to join the confederation due to historic ties between the clan and the Akamatuli tribes.
 * Vashaxna, the southern clan (sea green on the map) is divided between east and west. They're the most Christian of the population with the western province housing 60% of the Christian population in the country, making up around 80% of the province. They fought a quick war to push Portugal out and is the southern city still bearing it's Portuguese name and has been a center of Portuguese-Kobaulashlivi relations for a long time.

Early history
Following the Afro-Lemurian revolutions the first kingdom of Kobaulashlivi would form under a king simply named Varandamajarakala. He'd go on to unify a good part of the continent and His symbol adorns an old tomb uncovered in 1922 in an American archeological expedition, though it is disputed whether it was the king or his son who was said to have died in battle, his death is controversial in Kobaulashlivi academy. Early on there were tens of clans which fought for dominance in the Afro-Lemurian lands and a common occurrence was a clan leader leading a revolt to dethrone Varandamajarakala. These revolts were known as Empowerments in local tongues and would often lead to increasing regional autonomy. During these times some ancient monuments would be raised to the gods, around 50 monuments in total, as statues, spires and at least 2 documented pyramids of skulls. These skulls often contained animal skulls though a good part of the skulls were human. 1357 would mark the start of the first "Kobaulashlivi Kingdom" as it was called, not too long after they would engage in a war with Macehualuti only to be attacked by Pantiya leading to a temporary ceasefire between Macehualuti and Kobaulashlivi. A long war would be fought which would lead to the formation of the Greater Kobaulashlivi border which would maintain steadily all the way up until the French Colonization of Lemuria in which Pantiya was overtaken and Kobaulashlivi pushed back. The lands would be settled by Pantiyans and Afro-Lemurians alike and despite Pantiyan claims to the region they'd both be relatively friendly to each other. Not too long after they'd begin heavy exports of Iron which would be found in the central mountains, large amounts are said to have traveled through Akamatuli, Pantiya and even by ship to Arabia as large iron deposits were found and mined.

European Colonization of the Vaskajarlan Peninsula
The Vaskajarlan Peninsula is the southern point of Kobaulashlivi and hosted a minor fort and training site in which elite warriors were trained to accompany Kobaulashlivi royalty and nobility. The peninsula also hosted a number of valuable trading ports which served as important centers of trade between Macehualuti, Kobaulashlivi and Indo-Lemuria. In 1499 when Vasco de Gama came to Lemuria he'd come upon the Peninsula and allegedly handed over a bible to the natives. During this time there would be a short spread of Christianity in the region and the peninsula would see a small number of Christians form a church in the southern part of the peninsula in 1501. 5 years later the Portuguese would invade and establish a colony, this was a short-lived war as the small fort and training site were quickly overrun and the Kobaulashlivi guards massacred. Same year a peace agreement allowing the Portuguese dominion over the lands would be decided and a trade agreement arranged. With it the city of Shakwaram grows bigger as a lot of Macehualuti crops and animals move through it to Kobaulashlivi, an Iron and Food trade would help the nations prosper. In 1552 more land would by bought by Portugal, including a small town which would become a Portuguese city and trading hub. In 1569 the city is officially established and named Cidade Bartolomeu. Though it would take around 100 years for it to become a major city and 15 years later they'd buy more territory from Kobaulashlivi to better buffer the border. No king nor queen nor any ruler is said to have approved for these sales and is this period another one where there was no Varandamajarakala. In 1777 the city of Cided Bartolomeu would be renamed to Maria Bonita do Abundância, often shortened to Abundância.

Inzyras and the new Varandamajarakala.
The first solid line of the Varandamajarakala was formed by Inzyra the First, from one of the northern clans. His origin is disputed as the region in which he comes from is heavily disputed. Inzyra would prove his worth by managing to subjugate neighbouring clan leaders and eliminating one entire clan who defied him by marching them all out to sea and having a barrage of arrows fired upon those who tried to flea or were washed ashore by the strong tides. He'd kill the former heir to the throne and other princes, one which is never mentioned and it's disputed whether it was the real heir or simply royal guardsmen. After his victory and being crowned the Varandamajarakala in a royal ceremony he'd enact a series of governmental reforms restricting almost all trade to Portugal and Macehualuti alongside some minor trade later on with Akamatuli. His son the second would be crowned in 1736 as the ruler and would begin amassing an army so large that none in Afro-Lemurian history would be like it. 20,000 men would march under the leadership of Inzyra the second to Macehualuti and wage a war which would form the Kobaulashlivi-Macehualuti union. In 1782 Inzyra the Third would also commit a similar feat and fight the Pantiyans, though he'd die in combat and his son would sign a peace treaty which would simply force the Pantiyans to send a large abundance of resources to Kobaulashlivi. That same son would go ahead and conquer the Portuguese colony in 1810, in 200 days they'd siege down a fort on the southern island but Abundância would be peacefully handed over. During the rule of Inzyra the Fourth, Fifth and the final one the Sixth they'd see a lot of Macehualuti revolts leading to the seperation of the union in 1879.

Constitutional monarchy, French War and liberalization
With the rise of the first Varandamajarakala not bearing the name Inzyra came also the constitution limiting the power of the king and forming the national parliament. This would go hand in hand with general liberalization of both the politics and economy. During the same time many prominent politicians would come up and new political thought such as the ideology of Vashaxnism would come up. At the same time demilitarization, industrialization and European business would come in. Though in 1903 during the colonization of Pantiya the Kobaulashlivi forces would be pushed back from their northern lands containing clan land belonging to Wakla. Their loss in the war has often been attributed to the demilitarization pursued by the liberal sector leading to a large amount of conservative, illiberal tensions for a short time. In 1919 Kobaulashlivi would begin renewed trade agreements with Portugal which never formally ended though were never pursued after 1850. The agreement would also bring in Macehualuti and British Lemuria. In 1926 the last reform putting the Kobaulashlivi monarchy as one which is near purely symbolic is put in place, still retaining emergency powers. Kobaulashlivi would also be faced with the great depression unlike Macehualuti and severe unemployment would lead to nationalization of a large chunk of the industrial sector. In 1936 the king was Rajiziyda. Often named the King of Liberty by Kobaulashlivi due to his advocation for workers rights and championship of the people, delivering many heartfelt speeches in the parliament detailing the politicians duty to their people.
