Brief information on the Marion and Taikow Islands.

The Marion Islands are located to the north of Adumara. They lie at the crossing of the 45°N and 40°W lines. They are made up of approximately 7 islands, some of which are fully developed and some of which are atolls. They have a Csc classification according to the Köppen climate classification system. That means that winters are wet, summers are cold and the weather is temperate all year round.

The local population is small and speaks a language called Marion. They are organised as a territory of the Federal Republic of Adumara along with the Taikow Islands. Both Island chains have islands that have dormant volcanies. The islands were taken over in the Island Unification War of 1953 to 1960. Now, most of the islands have geothermal powerplants that produce power for the nation. These are heavily protected by paramilitary forces of the Federal Republic of Adumara.

The Taikow Islands lie to the east of Adumara. They are located just east of the 44°W line and just south of the 33°N line. The only island ordinarily inhabited by the native people is Toron Island. Toron Island is the largest island and has a flat terrain. It has many towns and villages. The local population speak Taikow. They were once primitive cannibals. There are 3 islands. They have an Af classification according to the Köppen climate classification system. That means they have rainforests, precipitation averages a minimum of 60mm and they can be very hot and humid.

Brief information on Astistan

One of the few neighbors of Adumara, the state of Astistan was an unstable mess. It was very liberal, in the sense that citizens had almost unlimited freedom, but they were very nationalist and relatively militaristic. Because of these traits, the FRA government, in 2007, decided to invade the nation to “protect domestic interests”, and to “maintain the security of Adumaran citizens”. This would spark the relatively short Trioch War, which would last for 2 years(2007 - 2009), and was named for the town of Trioch that the war started in.

Moments after the FRA declared war on the smaller state, 1,600 AAF soldiers advanced on the town of Trioch, which, at the time, was on the border between the two nations, just inside Astistan. The Astistani Volunteer Army had been using relatively outdated technology at the time, and was primarily used for putting down small insurgencies. Therefore, it wasn’t able to put up much of a fight against the Adumaran Battle Tanks and other armored vehicles. The AAF rolled into town, destroying the small military base in the town square with ease, and driving off the resistance forces.

From then on, Trioch would remain under Adumaran control, being handed over in the peace treaty towards the end of the war.
Both sides remained quit for several months, until the AAF had ammassed around 8,300 soldiers and complimentary vehicles. They advanced onto the next city, Doksy, which put up an unexpectedly large amount of resistance, dragging the war on for another 9 months. This put it past its halfway point, and the AAF behind schedule. So, with the generals becoming impatient, they began bombing the town with Artillery and Airstrikes. At the same time, several Amphibious Assault Ships deposited around 4,120 AAF soldiers and equipment in the undefended city of Novak. They quickly took control of the city, causing the Astistani Army to redirect forces away from Doksy.

This, combined with dwindling numbers in the city, is what led to the fall of Doksy, and most of the remaining forces loyal to Astistan. The AAF then marched through the countryside, capturing small towns and villages along the way, toward the capital of Svojek. The forces had to move slowly for fear of a guerilla attack by the remaining Astistani forces, but eventually made it to the weakly defended Svojak, which fell in a matter of weeks.
It took around 1 1/2 months for the remaining Astistani forces to surrender, concluding the war. Most of the land was ceded to a puppet government made by the FRA to rule Astistan, but full autonomy was granted only weeks later.

The Capital and largest city is Svojek
The official languages are Astistani and Adumaran spoken by 90%, and 9%, of the population respectively.
According to 2017 estimates, Astistanians make up 60% of the population and, Adumarans make up 38%.
The demonym is Astistanian.
The government and political system follow a constitutionally limited Communist dictatorship helmed by Supreme Leader
Merek Novak. Speaker of the Astistanian Assembly Kovar Dvorak presides over the legislature called the Astistanian Assembly. It has an area of113,297.82 km² or 70,400 sq mi. It has a total population of19,441,357 according to the 2017 census. The currency in use is the Mark (ASM )
