Etymology
The name "Evinea" comes from the word evinis in Anglicus. The official name, "Evinea" was made by the British in around the 1911.
Before Evinea existed, tribes simply roamed around the region. These tribes were allies and rarely went to war as they were generally peaceful. However, if they did face conflict, they would fight valiantly and generally be the winner. Tribes such as the the Ako, Biafa, Asati, Kondo, and Biansa were the strongest tribes in the region. They prospered greatly in the region, and were some of the richest tribes in Africa.
Unfortunately in 1883, those tribes and others in Africa would be subject to a brutal mass colonization campaign. The African Scrimmage was a huge event in Africa where Western European Powers - France, Britain, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Belgium - would divide Africa among the super states and expand their colonial empires. Britain would colonize multiple regions between 1883 and 1967 such as British West Africa (BWA). The BWA included the colonies of the British Coasts, British Volta, British Togoland, British Sierra Leone, and British Nigeria. In 1911, British West Africa would be renamed as British Evinea. British Evinea would be an unfortunate colony until the fateful day of May 22, 1949.
Nnamdi Nkrumah and the Evinean Liberation Front (ELF) started a campaign to end British rule over the region and become independent. The ELF destroyed ship ports and buildings and made a formal declaration of their independence. The British were outraged at the attempt of their colony to seek independence and moved their troops in to quell the uprising. The Evinean War of Independence had now begun. The British were initially successful in pushing back the Evineans, however, the nationalist spirit could not be easily suppressed. In 1953, the ELF won a strategic victory in the Battle of Yamoussoukro and humiliated the British. Then in 1956, the ELF had their most important victory in the war. After 2 months of fighting in Abuja, the ELF militants were finally able to overcome the British and secure the city. The Battle of Abuja ultimately cemented the victory of the ELF, and the British had no choice but to recognize Evinea's independence. On November 23, 1956, the Lagos Accords were signed by ELF Leader Nrukmah and British Prime Minister Henry Churchill, and Evinea was officially a nation. Nnamdi Nkrumah then became the first president of the newly found Solacratic Republic. In light of this event, Evinean independence inspired other independence and anti-colonization movements in Africa, eventually leading to the fall of the colonial empires.
The nation of Evinea was finally united, yet, there was a underlying issue at hand. There was a brewing religious rivalry between the southern Christian population and the northern Muslim population. Both groups greatly despised each other, as they both want to assert religious dominance over the nation. There were only minor instances of fighting but that would soon change. Extremists from both religions created the Evinean Crusade (EC) and The Great Jihad of Evinea (GJE) respectively. In 1965, the EC declared war on the GJE, formally starting the Evinean Civil War. The fighting was brutal. War crimes were widespread. Kidnappings were common occurrences. The nation was stuck under a state of terrorism. Things were about to get a lot worse. On October 27, 1968, the GJE raided the home of President Maurice Sankara and assassinated him. The killing sent the nation into further turmoil and the interim government sent a plea to the League of Unity (LoU) for assistance. The LoU wasted time. Led by the United States of America, the LoU formed operation League of Unity Intervention and Assistance for Evinea (LOUIAE). Military operations were formed to gain back the nation from the militants, and humanitarian aid was frequently sent in. On December 1, 1972 and December 28, 1972, the American-led forces captured the leaders of the Crusade and the Great Jihad. The brutal civil war was finally over. The new government in response to this religious rivalry formally declared that Evinea would be an atheist state. This declaration weakened the religious power in the nation, which strengthened the newfound peace in the nation.
The nation started to recover from the civil war. During this period, Evinea was able to find peace and prosperity. Democracy took a stronghold in the nation, giving the people free choice. Evinea was always democratic but they were truly able to cement their democracy in this period. Meanwhile, the Evinean economy was booming. The nation had discovered plentiful reserves of oil and minerals, and quickly capitalized on the resources. In addition, the agricultural and arms manufacturing industries exponentially grew. In a matter of time, Evinea had one of the strongest economies in the world and Africa. The Evinean Armed Forces also received a glowup. Seeking inspiration from the American military model, the Evinean government completely revamped the military. From shuddy gear to a top-class arsenal, the Evinean Armed Forces were a force to reckon with. It appeared that Evineans were in a period of prosperity that would never end. Unfortunately, this would not be the case.
On March 4, 1985, the paramilitary force, the Lion Front, led by Jerry Eyadama, along with some members of the Evinean Armed Forces performed a successful coup on the government and ousted them. Jerry Eyadama then assumed the presidency and plunged the nation into the darkness of authoritarianism for 15 rough years. Eyadama's regime quickly suppressed political freedoms and civil rights. People could not oppose them and voting was abolished. Gay marriage was abolished, abortions were banned, and protests were prohibited. Human rights abuses were frequently committed. LGBTQ+ individuals were extra-judicially killed, women were outlawed from going to school, slavery and the enforcement corporal punishment were some of the few human rights violations. The nation that was prospering a few years ago, was now in the dark. Ironically, Eyadama in many aspects maintained, and even strengthened the Evinean economy, yet this did not excuse his authoritarianism. His iron fist tightly destroyed the lives of Evineans and was persistent in his brutality. However, Eyadama's ruthless days numbers.
On April 17, 2000, a woman named Sarah Amouzou protested in the streets of Evinea. She wanted freedom and peace back in her nation. It seemed the whole nation had seen her act because they were greatly inspired by her actions. To their outrage, Eyadama's forces arrested Amouzou and imprisoned her for life. In response, Evineans took to the streets and protested Eyadam's regime. The Revolution of Integrity had started. Valiantly and graciously, Evineans demanded the return of democracy, civil rights, and political freedom. Eyadama quickly tried to suppress the protests, but everytime he did, the protests grew louder and stronger. The events in Evinea had been seen internationally, and their was a immense support for the protests. Governments around the world applauded the protests and requested that Eyadama and the rest of his government resign. These statements added more energy into the revolution. Eyadama initially resisted the calls to resign and continued to try to quell the revolution but was to no avail. The revolution was to strong, and he knew. To the joy and celebration of Evineans, Eyadama resigned. The Revolution of Integrity had prevailed and would no set the course of Evinea's future.
Evinea in this modern day age is back in its days of prosperity. It's economy is a powerhouse, and civil rights and political freedoms are well protected. The Evinean Armed Forces stands majestically and valiantly. Democracy continues unfazed in Evinea. In addition, Evinea is high up on the global stage. Evinea is a participant in the World Assembly and is a member of two of the strongest alliances in the world - the South Pacific Union and the Unity Pact. Evinea is one of the strongest and prosperous nations in the world, and it appears it's days of affluence will be a continuous fate.
The current population of Evinea is approximately 210 000 000. In the recent censuses, Evinean's population is approximately 99% Evinean, 0.7% South Pacifican, and 0.3% other races from across NationStates.
Evinea has no nation faith. 70% of the nation is irreligious, 13% Christian, 10% Muslim, and the other 7% are other religions such as Judaism, Aboriginal, Spoonism, etc.
Evinea is a presidential federal republic. The nation has some of the most free elections in the world. The current president of the nation is Kwame Mensah. A president of Evinea is elected every four years and has a maximum of two terms. The president chooses their cabinet, and the cabinet is approved by committees in the legislature.
The executive power of the Evinean government is within the presidency. The legislative power lays in the hands of the Evinean Legislature - 200 seats in the Upper Chamber and 400 seats in the Lower Chamber. The judicial power lays in the hands of the Evinean Supreme Court, which has seven judges.
Foreign Relations
Evinea has established many relations around the world. An extensive list of the Solacratic Republic's foreign relations can be found through this link.Many of Evinea's allies come from their involvement in the Unity Pact and other strong relations. The Evinean government tends to be supportive of members of the Economic Union of Asian States and the African Co-operation Union.
The geography of Evinea widly varies. In the northernmost part of the country, the Sahel sweeps across. The area there is mostly flat, covered in savannas and grasslands. The climate is semi-arid, as the region is typically hot and sunny, and receives very low amounts of precipitation. However, most of the country lies in a tropical savanna. Topographical features come in more variation, and in addition to savannas, there are mangroves. The climate tends to be more humid, tropical. There are also wet and dry seasons in the area.
Evinea has an extremely prosperous economy. Since the late 20th century, agricultural products, oil and gas, and mining have led the nation's economy. Other major industries include arms manufacturing and information techology. Evinea is one of the leading nations in agriculture. Evinea regularly exports products from it's major industries, and tends to receive imports of ores, timber, and automobiles. The economy is mixed, combining and maximizing the efforts of the free market and a planned market. Major industries have state-owned companies though private economies are free to work, though regulations are strongly kept in place, showing a strong hand in public enterprise. Capitalism is still the major economic system in the nation. Evinea has one of the largest economies in the world, and the second-highest in Africa, though it is soon to become the strongest in the continent.
Agriculture
The agriculture sector in Evinea is the largest and strongest sector of the Evinean economy. A great portion of the Evinean economy's strength comes from the agriculture sector. Agricultural products are Evinea's largest export. Some of it's agricultural products are rice, potatoes, cacao beans, rubber, bananas, yams, beans, cashew nuts, corn, melons, and citrus plants. Over 15% of Evinea's GDP comes from agriculture, and a significant part of Evinea's workforce is in the agricultural industry.
Oil and Gas
Even though Evinea uses clean energy sources such as nuclear and solar, it is a large exporter and producer of oil and natural gas. Most oil fields are located on major river deltas with a sandstone-shale layers in the ground. Like agriculture, it is a major industry that contributes a lot to the nation's GDP, around 12%. The oil industry is nationalized to centralize the economic effort of the field, and has a high employment rate of any industry.
Mining
Evinea has a huge and notable deposit of minerals mined for use. Minerals mined include, but are not limited to, gold, iron, bauxite, tin, columbite, coal, and tantalite. The mining industry contributes to 8% of the nation's GDP. Mining corporations are government-owned and materials are exported and sold to foreign nations. In the nation's early days, the mining industry used to be the strongest indistry, but has since moved way for agriculture and oil and gas.
