Altherdia

Altherdian Republican Empire, or simply Altherdia is a nation in Europe (Balkans), Asia (Anatolia, Middle East) and some part of Africa (Egypt).

History
Altherdia, before the form that we know, came out in the 19th century. Along with Greece, it has declared independence from the Ottoman Empire. In the constitution of that time and also now, it is stated that "Every man, Greek or Turk, have all rights and obligations of a citizen while loyal to the fatherland. Treason is punishable by death, regardless of their backgrounds."

But, this was largely ignored due to Greek chauvinist leader Alexei Alexopoulos. He called the Greeks "the master race, destined to rule Europe and the whole world". Alexei Alexopoulos was considered a necessary evil at the time, and now, opinions about him is divided. And then, the Second Republic was proclaimed after his death. This time, more egalitarian. And then WWI came around. Altherdia of course joins the Entente, due to the Ottoman Empire being a Central Power. The war in this timeline is decisively won by the Entente, no long stalemates and no high casualties. WWI was called "The Three Years War". In the treaty sign in Constantinople, it was clear that all of the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria will be absorbed by Altherdia (mostly protectorates such as Turkey, Hejaz, Nejd, etc.). And also, the German colonies in the Pacific gains independence. Yet, Altherdia still was not satisfied. Especially when what they got from Austria-Hungary is a panhandle. The leader moved ethnic Greek and Turk prisoners into Yugoslavia and Romania, and accusing them of mistreating them and even of torture and genocide. This gave a legal casus belli for the nation to "retaliate". They annexed both of those nations in the year 1923. On the other hand, Nazis rose on Germany (now the Republic of Brandenburg and the Rhine), and they tried to influence them but failed due to Hitler. This made them mad, and even told the German government that Nazis are trying to destroy them. The Great German Purge of 1924 was supported by the Altherdian Government. Germany is now dependent on Altherdia. Bavaria was also influenced by them. State of Wien and the Republic of Hungary is also dependent on them. Russian Tsardom was screwed by Bolsheviks and Alexander Kerensky's Party. The Bolsheviks was purged by Altherdia, while they are funding Alexander Kerensky. The Russian Republic was proclaimed. But Altherdians told that they were to support the Tsardom if he doesn't comply to his commands, and one of them was creating puppets in Siberia. This was meant to destroy any local rebellion or insurgencies. This was done to further consolidate their power and dominance over Eurasia. In the year of 1931, WW2 started. (In this time, only called the "Great World War"). The Great World War's sides was: The first offensive was on France, that is the Rhineland-Baden-Wurttemberg Offensive by Germany, Wien, Hungary, and a little support from others. Next was also on France, the Operation Pyrenees. The Spanish and Altherdians were those which are involved here. Next: Operation Gothic. The operation was to secure Italy and was done by Wien and Altherdia. Next one was Operation Atlasia, that is a full-scale invasion of Portugal. The Atlantic Blockade begun. The Atlantic blockade was also supported by Pacific and Channel blockade. They intercepted every trade between UK and the US, forcing them into surrender. The Concord won, and a treaty was signed in the city of Constantinople (now Altherdopolis) by the year of 1947. But in the year of 1950, the new constitution was signed, and the election begun. The victor was mostly expected to be Sir Constantine Kolchak, one of Alexander Kolchak's relatives. But due to massive campaigns, Odeschyreus, giving himself the title of "ver Althered" which means "Of the Altherdia". Begins the new age.
 * The Concord: Altherdia, Germany, Wien, Hungary, Republic of Russia, Spain, Pacifica and Altherdian Protectorates.
 * The Allies: France, Italy, Britain, Portugal, U.K. and U.S.A.

Republican Imperium (1950-present)
The Republican Imperium is the modern times. Whilst they are busy exerting their influence in the Old World, the former allies that have been spared, the US and UK, begun rebuilding their military and expanding in the New World. Technology progressed faster than in our timeline, due to the technological rivalry which is more than the Cold War in our timeline, fueled by the fears of losing the war. By the time that Odeschyreus abdicated, the technology was comparable or even better than today. A.I. is already widespread by the 1990s (their intelligence is lower than humans though), while space colonization has just started. But the cold war is beginning to heat up. Prometheus ver Althered (1999-2000) is an American spy and his vice-president is a British spy. This, of course enraged the people of Altherdia, especially Odeschyreus while his body preserved, his soul uploaded into a computer. But now, his body and his soul reunited, he began to retake power. The Cold War after the detente in 1990s, began to heat up in the 21st century. The military of the nation begun to mobilize.

The Third World War (2020-2047)
World War is like a time bomb, setting to explode. It just takes an incident to spark the war. While pollution was high in the United Human Federation, Altherdians are eco-friendly. It just takes a wind to bring smog to Western Europe to make a war. The Altherdian Air Force bombed London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool and the entire East Coast of the US. The bombings killed 17 million peoples total. And then, the naval strike on the West Coast by the Pacific Republic. While Russians invaded Alaska. The full-scale invasion begun. By 2024, Canada become a battleground. While Washington DC was captured in 2027, the guerrilla warfare was lasting until the middle of the century. The casualties reached 741 million, causing a significant drop in the world population.

Interstellar Exploration (2060-present)
A hypervelocity star was charging towards the Proxima Centauri. And then, it begun to slow down around it. The star was named Potentia, and the two largest non-gas giant planet (Super-Earths) was Aranis, a planet filled with life, lush forest and wide oceans, and Avischen, a planet rich in resources, yet very toxic to humans. By this time, corporations created many quasi-nation-states. But for the Altherdians, the high emphasis on Potentia means neglecting Earth. What this means is rebellions. Those which are tired of Altherdian System rebelled in the Grand Revolution of 2100.

Decline (22nd Century)
While they became an Interstellar Empire, their failure to govern such vast lands led to their decline on Earth. Nations on Earth as of 2150 that could challenge the Altherdian Nation is: While they secured Antarctica as a puppet state, They are also met with lingering threat of those above. Since then, Altherdians are willing to sacrifice their lives for their nation, because they know that if other regimes controlled Altherdopolis, they will slaughter Altherdians.

Name
The name of the Republican Imperium of Altherdia comes from Greek. Altherdia is a corrupted version of "Altheia" which means "Truth" in Altherdian Greek, due to it being the truthful opposition to their enemies. While the "Republican Imperium" part comes in due to the fact that it has republican election and overall, a republican system, while keeping the monarchy and their imperialist wars.

Government
The government of Altherdia is too complicated to explain. It is called the "Fifth Way". First, they want to still keep in the monarchy, but with some power but not too much of it. Secondly, they want to be democratic so democratic elections are held. Thirdly, they don't want a revolution or the fall of their power, thus, they exterminated communism, fascism and laissez-faire capitalism through extensive propaganda. Finally, they want the competent and eco-friendly to be in charge. Thus, their skills are tested, and specialists are for ministries. Actually, Odeschyreus don't really hold power, thus it is symbolic. Their legislative branch is the Altherdian Council and the Altherdian Parliament.

Economy
The GDP per capita for an average citizen is about US$1,006,331 due to the inflation. If inflation was removed, then it will be US$82,068. It is one of the richest nations on Earth, and it is the leader of the rival to the UN, the Great World Order (all members are their puppets lol).
