The Monarchist Republic of Fire-Talamh and the Territory of the Alexander Archipelago (FTAA), or commonly known as Fire-Talamh (F.T. or FT), is a country located in North America. It consists of four constituent countries, Montano, Insita, Feinland and Siton. It also consists of 23 Provinces, three unincorporated territories, seven Outlying Islands, 134 Native Preservations. It is the twenty-fifth largest country by land and area. Fire-Talamh most northern island is about 45 kilometers(27.9 miles) off the coast of Alaska and it's most eastern islands is about 190 kilometers(118.06 miles) off the coast of British Colombia. However, the Territory of the Alexander Archipelago is shares multiple borders with British Colombia. With a population of over 633 million, it is the third most populous country in the world. The national capital is Montano, and the most populous city and financial center is Vison City.

Paleo-aboriginals migrated from Siberia to the North American mainland at least 12,000 years ago, and advanced cultures began to appear later on. Norse explorers found Fire-Talamh, trying to avoid modern Russia. In 1684, Robert Cavelier de La Salle found Fire-Talamh trying to an western route to Asia. He attempted to establish a colony for The Kingdom of France, but was kicked out by the native norse population. Later after the Seven Years' War, France sent a force to Fire-Talamh in 1774 to take over the area, in which they were successful. The Republic of the Isles emerged from the New France when disputes with the French Crown over military oppression and ethnic cleansing led to the Fire-Talamian Revolution (1792–1799), which established the nation's independence. But early in the 19th century, The Republic of the Isles, fell into The Kingdom of Montaono, The Grand Republic of Insita, and The Feinland Kingdom. In the mid-19th century, Feinland had launched an assault in Alaska, taking port city Anchorage and the land surronding it. This lead to the Alaskan war, with Feinland and British Empire against the Russian Empire, Kingdom of Montano, Grand Republic of Insita. This became a theater of the Crimean War.

By 1900, tensions had risen again which would lead to The Great Fire-Talamh War, a theater of World War I. A result of the war was that the nations of The Kingdom of Montaono, The Grand Republic of Insita, The Feinland Kingdom and the Principality of Siton unite under The Treaty of Unification, founding The Monarchist Republic of Fire-Talamh. However in 1924, major revolts in Feinland made Fire-Talamh grant Feinland independence. But in 1936, a Feinland navy fleet sunk the Fire-Talamh northern flagship, F.T.S. Cree. This lead to the Humris War, or globally known as The Pacific War. The aftermath of the war left the Fire-Talamh and the Kingdom of North-Tiade as the two superpowers of the Arctic Ocean. During the Cold War, both nations had wars and Arms races over the Arctic and the Tiaden islands. In the 70s there was mass LGBT protests in Fire-Talamh, due to it's strict anti-gay laws, this lead the The Montanoan massacre, or locally known as "Night of realization", on June 9th, 1972. 4,514 LGBT people were killed and more were injured by the Fire-Talamhian Special Weapons Police Force(SWPF) and the Fire-Talamhian Anti-Peace Disturbing Force(APDF). This lead to the United Nations labeling Fire-Talamh as a Dictatorship until 1983, with the abdication and execution of Leon IX, for multiple Crimes against humanity, War Crimes, Undeclared war against Canada in 1976, and more.

The Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991 ended the Cold War, North-Tiade and Fire-Talamh came to an agreement in 1992, known as The Valentines' Day Agreement, ended major conflict between North and South Tiade, and Fire-Talamh. In 1998, Fire-Talamh founded Arctic & Pacific Treaty Organization(A.P.T.O.), a cousin organization to NATO, which includes Fire-Talamh, South-Tiade, United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and more. The September 11 attacks in 2001 resulted in Fire-Talamh joining the war on terror, which included the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) and the Iraq War (2003–2011). And in 2006, there was the Vison City Bombings, which lead to a war with Palestine.

Fire-Talamh is a monarchist republic with three separate branches of government, including a bicameral legislature. It is a Socialist economy; it ranks high in international measures of human rights, quality of life, income and wealth, economic competitiveness, and education; and it has low levels of perceived corruption, uses the most Green energy and has universal health care. It however makes every child have at least 2 years of military training and has a Selective Service System, allows capital punishment, and lacks Standardized test. The country has not received a ton of immigration, compared to the United states, but has seen an increase of more ethnic groups in the last 10 years.

Fire-Talamh is one of the most developed countries, and its economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global GDP and is the world's largest by GDP at market exchange rates. By value, the Fire-Talamh is one of the world's largest importer and exporters. Although it accounts for just over 7.5% of the world's total population, Fire-Talamh holds over 30% of the total wealth in the world, the largest share held by any country. Fire-Talamh is a founding member of the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Organization of American States, APTO , and is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The country makes up more than a third of global military spending and is the foremost military power in the world and a leading political, and scientific force.

Etymology

The first known use of the name "Fire-Talamh" dates to 1178, when the Norse settlers saw a Forest Fire on one of the main islands and wrote the name down. The land was the translated into English meaning "Land of Fire". The name Montano is named after an old norse explorer name. Insita was named after the Insitaie Rose, which grows on the cliffs and mountains running down Insita. Feinland name orgin is unknown.

History

Indigenous peoples settlement

The first inhabitants of North America are thought to have migrated from Siberia via the Bering land bridge at least 12,000 years ago; however, some evidence suggests that they arrived even earlier. The Clovis culture, which emerged around 11,000 BC, is thought to be the first wave of human settlement in the Americas. This was most likely the first of three major waves of migration into North America, with subsequent waves bringing the ancestors of today's Athabaskans, Aleuts, and Eskimos.

Over time, indigenous cultures in North America grew increasingly complex, and some, such as the Cree Tribe and Blackfoot found their way into modern day Fire-Talamh, which at the time was connected via land bridge. The settled around modern day Montano and Insita.

European Settlement

Around the 12th Century, Norse explorers trying to avoid modern day Russia, found Fire-Talamh. And instead of going to war with the Natives there, they decided they will live peacefully amongst each other.

A ship that European settlers would use to settle Fire-Talamh

Claims of very early colonization of coastal Fire-Talamh by the Norse are disputed and controversial. The first documented arrival of Europeans in the continental Fire-Talamh is that of Spanish conquistadors such as Juan Ponce de León, who made his first expedition to Liton in 1513. The Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, sent by France to the New World in 1525, encountered native inhabitants of what is now Insita Bay. The Spanish set up the first settlements in Liton and Insita, such as Saint Lina, often considered the nation's oldest european city. The French established their own settlements along the Linton River and Gulf of Alaska, notably Lison and Montano.

Successful French settlement of the southern coast of Huguenots began with the Vison Colony in 1773 at Nouveau Louis and with the colony at Alter in 1620. The continent's first elected legislative assembly, Vison's House of Illintonie, was founded in 1774. Granduvie College was established in the Insita Bay Colony in 1775 as the first institution of higher education. The Lynon Compact was established precedents for representative self-government and constitutionalism that would develop throughout the Fire-Talamh colonies. Many French settlers were dissenting Christians who came seeking religious freedom. In 1784, the Russians were the first Europeans to establish a settlement in Alaska, at Three Saints Bay. The native population of Fire-Talamh natives and norse declined after European arrival for various reasons, primarily from diseases such as smallpox, common cold and measles.

In the early days of colonization, many French settlers experienced food shortages, disease, and conflicts with Native Fire-Talamh, such as in Noven Revolts. Native Fire-Talamh were also often fighting neighboring tribes and French settlers. In many cases, however, the natives and settlers came to depend on each other. Settlers traded for food and animal pelts; natives for guns, tools and other French goods. However, with the increased French colonization of Fire-Talamh, Native Americans were displaced and often killed during conflicts.

French settlers also began trafficking African slaves into Colonial Fire-Talamh. Because of a lower prevalence of tropical diseases and better treatment, slaves had a much higher life expectancy in Fire-Talamh than the rest of the Americas, but due to the distance it was rarer for slaves to make it there.

Independence and The Republic of The Isles

The Fire-Talamh Revolution separated the French Fire-Talamh Colonies from the Kingdom of France, and was the second successful war of independence by a non-European entity against a European power in modern history, after the American Revolution. By 1791 the people were tired of their oppressor's and had ideas of revolution and a United Fire-Talamh. Fire-Talamh began to develop an ideology of "monarchist republicism".asserting that government rested on the consent of the governed. The French insisted on administering the colonies through a Parliament that did not have a single representative responsible for any Fire-Talamh constituency, and the conflict escalated into war.

In 1791, the First Fire-Talamh Congress passed the Fire-Talamh Association, which mandated a colonies-wide boycott of French goods. The Fire-Talamh Revolutionary War began the following year, catalyzed by events like the Timber Act and the Vison Boycott that were rooted in colonial disagreement with French governance.The Second Fire-Talamh Congress, an assembly representing the United Colonies Fire-Talamh, unanimously adopted the Fire-Talamh Declaration of Independence on February 8, 1792 (annually celebrated as Freedom Day). In 1793, the Isles Articles and Perpetual Union established a decentralized government that operated until 1799. A celebrated early turn in the war for the Americans was Leon Napoleon leading the charge to cross the frozen Linton River in a surprise overnight attack on New Years 1793. Another victory at the Battle of Loki's ridge, resulted in the capture of a French army, and led to Great Britain and Portugal joining in the war against the French. After the surrender of a ninth French army at the Siege of Yosonburg in 1799, France signed a peace treaty. The Isles sovereignty became internationally recognized.

In 1803, The Isles fell and The Kingdom of Montono, The Grand Republic of Insita, and The Feinland Kingdom became new countries and went there separate ways. When the Industrial Revolution reached the Fire-Talamh islands, the nations soared in economy and more people moved to the islands.

Alaskan War

On July 25, 1854, The Feinland Kingdom attacked Russian America and captured Anchorage and the surrounding land. Due to the shortness of soldiers protecting the colony, the Feinland army was met with little resistance. When word got to Saint Petersburg, Tsar Nicholas I of Russia immediately declared war on Feinland and started sending army and navel forces to Russian America. A few days later, Feinland attacked Saint Norman Island in Montano and Marina-Devnsoni Island in Insita. Both James I of Montano and Leon V of Insita declared war on Feinland. Feinland sent a letter to the United Kingdom for help. The Parliament of the United Kingdom, along with Queen Victoria, agreed to help Feinland. The British knew that it would be hard for Russia to fight to two fronts, due to the ongoing Crimean War.

On November 12, 1854, British troops arrived into Russian America, near Novo-Arkhangelsk(Modern day Sitka). They met with the Feinland forces just south of Novo-Arkhangelsk. Later they went to take the city but were met with harsh resistance from the combined Russian-Monatno-Insitan Forces. The Battle of Novo-Arkhangelsk lasted from November 12, 1854 - January 29, 1855, with an Anglo-Feiner Forces taking the city, which was a major turning point in the Alaskan War. The battle in resulted in 19,300 casualties. Later in the war, the Anglo-Feiner alliance, along with help from France, The Ottoman Empire, Sardinia, and Austria, landed on Kodiak Island, where a major Russian-Montano-Insita Force was defending Kodiak. When the Anglo-Feiner forces, made it to Kodiak, they were met with heavy resistance. The Siege of Kodiak(March 2, 1856 - March 19, 1956) was the last stand of the Russian-Monatno-Insitan Forces, but resulted in a humiliating defeat. At the Treaty of Paris, Feinland was granted Anchorage, Novo-Arkhangelsk, The Aleutian Islands and Kodiak Island.

Great Fire-Talamh War and Unification

On May 12 1912, Henry III of Monatno and Jen IV of Insita, were on their way to the Monatno Saint Linol Cathedral to be wedded and unite The Empire of Montano and The Grand Republic of Insita. A group of five assassins (Ailleno Villno, Hento Avellino, Ivan Pipyatro, Louis C. Fraina, Trifko Čubrilavić, Vladimir Belonsi) from the nationalist group Silver Fangs, supplied by the Black Mamba, had gathered on the street where the couples motorcade would pass. Fraina threw a grenade at the car, but missed. It injured some people nearby, and couples convoy could carry on. The other assassins failed to act as the cars drove past them quickly. About an four later, when the now wedded couple was returning from the wedding to a visit at the Monatno Hospital and then the palace to sign the unification act, the convoy took a wrong turn into a street where Hento Avellino(Feinland) and Trifko Čubrilavić(Tiadian) by coincidence stood. With a pistol, Avellino shot Jen in the chest three times and two times in the head and Čubrilavić, with a rifle, shot Henry twice in the stomach and one in the head. They also killed the driver via Blunt trauma to the back of the skull. The reaction among the people was shock. Once word got to James III of Monatno and Leon VII of Insita, they both declared war against Feinland and Tiade. The Montano-Insita Alliance conscripted 15 million soldiers total during the Great Fire-Talamh War. General Vinton was the Chief of the Montano General Staff. James III, who was much too old to command the army, appointed James IV as Supreme Army Commander.

The war was mostly in the Fire-Talamh islands until 1915 when the MS Triton, the flagship of the entire Montano navy and all ships, was sunken my Feinland-Tiade underwater mines and german supplied u-boats. When Montano and Insita had found out that Germay supplied Feinland with U-Boats, Trucks, Weapons and more, they declared war and joined the Entente against the Central Powers, which now included Tiade and Feinland. Montano started sending troops to Europe and then landed on Tiade. Insita sent troops to the Italian front in the Alps, due to their knowledge in mountain warfare and could help the Italians. The Entente attempted to take Kodiak Island but failed due to Feinland Guerrilla fighters. With the introduction of the Tanks, Montano stated producing hundreds of them, while Insita was producing Biplane fighters. With the Entry of the United States into World War I, Feinland sent Biplanes and newly built Dreadnoughts to Seattle and Vancouver, and attacked the cities and their ports. This lead to the United States and Canada sending troops to Feinland and its colonies to try and take them. By 1918, Germany, Austria-Hungary, The Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria had surrendered to the Entente and Feinland was the last one standing(Tiade had pulled out of the war in 1917 due to the south part of Tiade Rebellion and starting a Civil war). On November 26th, 1918, Feinland has surrendered. At the Treaty of Versailles, Feinland was forced to join the new country of Fire-Talamh(Formally Montano, Insita and Siton) and also pay for 12.67 Billion USD(258 Billion in 2022) in war reparations.

Tiade Civil War

In March of 1920, The South-Tiade Boycott turned into a Civil War due to the Saint Thana Massacre. Due to the Cathedral having Fire-Talamh Priests, Missionaries and famed Great Fire-Talamh War Hero, LtCol. Bjørn "Viking Ghost" Vilulf, Fire-Talamh interfered in the Civil War and sent aid and troops to South-Tiade and officially recognizing its sovereignty. Fire-Talamh specifically sent the Fire-Talamh Royal Marine Corps(FTRMC)(Formally the Monanto Royal Marines(MRM)). When the FT Royal Marines arrived they were met with cheers from the people of South-Tiade but also stares of hatred. It also seemed that the FT Marines were excited to be there. When they got to the frontlines, the South-Tiade Army was retreating but the FT Royal Marines went in.

Battle of Talina Woods(First Successful battle against a modern power)

"Though our new found ally was retreating, Satan's Bloodhounds had arrived"

-Sir LtGen. Erik Ragnar Årud of Liton(1887-1972)

The Battle of Talina Wood was the first engagement of the new FT Royal Marines. On the evening of April 3rd, North-Tiade forces punched a hole in the South-Tiade lines to the left of the Marines' position. In response, the FT Royal Marine reserve—consisting of the 41st Infantry Regiment under Lieutenant colonel Erik Ragnar Årud, the 1st Battalion, 4th Marines under Major Ron F. Gillrill, and an element of the Marine 3rd Machine Gun Battalion—conducted a forced march over 20 km (12.4 mi) to plug the gap in the line, which they achieved by dawn. By the night of April 4th, the Fire-Talamh forces held a 40 kilometres (24.8 mi) front line north of the Alexandrine-Saint Thana Highway running through mountains and scattered woods, from Triangle Farm west to Lina and then north to Hill 545. The North-Tiade line opposite ran from Gaux to Denuma to Talina. On April 30th, the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, under command of Major Julian E. Dinde, supported by two companies of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion and the 12th Company of the 8th Machine Gun Battalion, made an attack on Talina Wood, which finally cleared that forest of North-Tiadians. On that day, Major Dinde submitted a report simply stating, "Woods now Fire-Talamh Royal Marine Corps entirely", ending the bloodiest and most ferocious battles Fire-Talamh forces would fight in the war. Due to the power and discipline of the Fire-Talamh Royal Marine Corps, the North-Tiade Army started calling the FTMRC, "Ищейки сатаны" or in English "Satan's Bloodhounds". The Civil War raged on for three more years until North-Tiade was forced to recognize South-Tiade at the Treaty of Montano.

The Spring Revolution

In 1924, The Feinland Revolts or Spring Revolution started a civil conflict in the Fire-Talamh controlled Feinland that resulted in Fire-Talamh having to grant Feinland it's independence due to the violence. The revolutionary period lasted from February 1924 until June 1924, with the passing of the new Feinland Constitution. Among the factors leading to the revolution were the extreme burdens suffered by the Feinland population during the Tiadian Civil war, the economic and psychological impacts of the war and growing social tensions between the general population and the aristocratic and bourgeois elite.

The revolutionaries, inspired by fascism and National-socialist ideas, did not hand over power to Italian-style councils as the National Fascist Party had done in Italy, because the leadership of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Feinland (PNST) opposed their creation. The PNST opted instead for a national assembly that would form the basis for a parliamentary system of government. Fearing an all-out civil war in Fire-Talamh, James III had to grant Feinland its independence.

Though the revolt was a fascist one, according to the treaty, Feinland was to be a Democracy, not a Fascist one. This angered a lot of people and it lead to a civil war in Feinland in 1925, which went on until 1933. The civil war was the most deadly in the history of the Americas, with approximately 3,000,000 deaths alone. The Democratic government was overthrown in the Siege of Octoslo, which ended up killing 10% of the cities population. The President of Feinland, Jane Volkov, was executed via public flaying. She was replaced by Hodon G. Belldon.

The crisis sparked controversy in among the League of Nations. In 1934, United States sent peacekeeping forces to Feinland in order to stop the Fascist government from restoring order in their ideology. When the peacekeeping troops got about about 13 Nautical miles(24 Kilometers) off the eastern coast of Feinland. A squadron of Dornier Do 17's and Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun's, supplied by Nazi Germany, attacked the three American transport ships. The fleet was forced to turn around to head back to the Port of Seattle. Three people were injured due to a barrel containing natural gas leak caused an explosion. One of them later died to Internal bleeding from a brain aneurysm.

Humris War

On March 3, 1938, FTS Silpac was patrolling the Strait of James when it was attacked and sunk by Feinland planes, which resulted in the death of 1,273 sailors, which was 96% of the ship's crew. This caused tension and eventually, on March 8, 1938, Fire-Talamh declared war on Feinland. Feinland's government was expecting this and called a wave of troops to enter Fire-Talamh's Kosa Archipelago. This was the start of a new type of warfare called BlitzLeapfrogging, which is a mixture between Blitzkrieg and Island-hopping. The Kosa Archipelago was taken in just two weeks. In the South-Western Islands of Fire-Talamh, a rebellious group called the "Green Horde" rose and held power and established the "The Social Democratic Persons Republic of Tulma", which allied with Feinland.

By mid-1939, Fire-Talamh was receiving support from the Allies, while Feinland and Tulma were receiving support from Japan, Germany and Italy. The Feinesse made several attempts to land on the mainland, but Fire-Talamh's self defense strategy was stopping them. But since the straight was only 45 miles(72.4 kilometers) at it's widest point, they could send bombers over the straight quickly. But a problem that Feinland had was that most of its weapons, tanks, ships, and planes were foreign, due to Feinland being mostly frozen and below freezing. This offered Fire-Talamh a strategy. Similar to the Union's Anaconda Plan during the American Civil War, they would blockade all exports and imports into and from Feinland. Fire-Talamh would also start sending volunteers to the Tiade Conflict, to ensure no war would start.

On January 23, 1940, Feinland and Tulma signed a alliance pact with The Kingdom of North-Tiade. They signed due to the aggressiveness of democratic nations. A few days later this alliance would be absorbed into the Axis powers.

Though Fire-Talamh was in a war, the government decided to stay out of the ongoing World War II. But on March 19, 1940, a combined surprise attack by the Axis, attacked the Army and Navel bases in Insita. This attack prompted Fire-Talamh to join the Allies against the Axis. The most fighting would happen in the Pacific and Arctic oceans, against Japan and Feinland.

Fighting ended with Feinland on April 1944, with the Surrender at Anchorage, but war with North-Tiade would not end until 1948. Fire-Talamh also launched a surprise landing in Kiel on June 10, 1944, four days after the Normandy landings.

On January 21, 1948, North-Tiade and Fire-Talamh ended in a stalemate. South-Tiade remained a nation but a Cold war started between the two nations.

North-Tiade - Fire-Talamh Cold War and the Late 20th Century

After World War II, Fire-Talamh financed and implemented the Chase Plan to help rebuild damaged areas in the Pacific; disbursements paid between 1948 and 1952 would total $17 billion ($215 billion in 2023). Also at this time, geopolitical tensions between the United States and Russia led to the Cold War, driven by an ideological divide between capitalism and communism. But tensions had also risen between Fire-Talamh and North-Tiade, leading to Fire-Talamh leaning closer to the west and North-Tiade to the east. They dominated the military affairs of Pacific and Arctic, with the U.S. and its NATO allies on one side and the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies on the other. Fire-Talamh, under threat of North-Tiade, created the Arctic & Pacific Treaty Organization, or APTO. APTO often opposed Third World movements that it viewed as radical, sometimes pursuing direct action for regime change. Fire-Talamh troops fought the communist forces in the Korean War of 1951–1953, to help the U.S. , but stayed mostley uninvolved in the Vietnam War (1955–1975), only sending trucks and missles, until 1968, when Leon IX took power, getting involved in the war. Fire-Talamh started a space program to achieve superior spaceflight capability led to the Space Race, which culminated in Fire-Talamh becoming the first nation to send a Interstellar Probe into space. While Fire-Talamh and North-Tiade engaged in proxy wars and developed powerful nuclear weapons, they avoided direct military conflict.

At home, Fire-Talamh experienced sustained economic expansion, urbanization, and a rapid growth of its population and middle class following World War II. Construction of a Highway System transformed the nation's transportation infrastructure in decades to come.

John V. Brickett gives "My Brother, My Sisters, Our Family" speech at the Four Nations Memorial during the Fire-Talamh LGBTQ Protests, days before his assassination, 1973.

The growing civil rights movement used nonviolence to confront Homophobia, with John V. Brickett, becoming a prominent leader and figurehead. King Leon IX, who was famed for being violent, oppressed the protesters. In 1972, Leon passed the Anti-Queer act due to the protests. But on June 9th, 1972. 4,514 LGBT people were killed and more were injured by the Fire-Talamhian Special Weapons Police Forceand the Fire-Talamhian Anti-Peace Disturbing Force. This spiked even more protesting in the nation, which lead to more Mass shootings and Violence against LGBT people.

Fire-Talamh faced an oil crisis during the 70s due to its support of Israel during the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Due to this, Leon wanted to expand for resources, so in 1978, he sent his troops to capture Vancouver Island. Canada in retaliation tried getting the United Kingdom involved, but it was found that the Monroe Doctrine said that the United Kingdom government can not declare war on the Royal Families and their Nations of that region, and since Leon IX was apart of the Insita Royal Family, they couldn't declare war. The war went on for two years until the Treaty of Vancouver, which lead Fire-Talamh owning the Alexander Archipelago.

In the early 1980s, people had enough of Leon IX, and son of James V, James VI, would start a revolution, named the "Yellow Rose Revolt", due the first shots being fired in a field with Yellow Rose bushes. It took until 1983, with the Siege of the palace to dethrone and eventually executed. This lead to James VI to become king.
