[b]Date Out of Bunker:[/b] 2260 [b]Productions (What your nation Produces):[/b] Agriculture and Steel are the main productions [b]History of the Nation (Self Explanatory):[/b] It all began with the assassination of his father by what was eventually revealed as an Ottoman Spy. Fasilides knew that at that moment he would destroy them, even if it meant taking the world down with him. He started the War of Gods to retake all of the land that the Caliphate stole from Christendom, and by the end of things he ended up causing the apocalypse. Fasilides himself was given a live feed of the nuking of Istanbul, and oh boy it was a beautiful thing, buildings that stood for thousands of years destroyed, the straits lined with floating bodies. The Caliph himself escaped to Ankara but the damage was done. At least, that was until they destroyed Addis Ababa. Once that happened both sides began lobbing nuclear bombs at the other nations, eventually resulting in a full on apocalypse scaled event causing majority of humanity to flee underground. It seems that it would be a long wait until the Ethiopians got control of the land they deserved. Fasilides died at the age of 90, leaving his grandson Zakariahus to take the throne. He expanded New Addis Ababa (The Underground Area under the original Addis Ababa) and the reconstruction and advancement of technology, even overseeing the construction of the Beta Power Suits. Zakariahus died at the age of 50 from a heart attack, leaving his son Fasilides the Second to be the new king. Fasilides the Second ordered the destruction of all Non-Ethiopian peoples, eventually leading to the destruction of 40% of the population. This eradication has already given him the title of Fasilides II the Destroyer. Other then those events, his reign was rather uneventful, along with majority of the reigns that followed. Twenty years ago an 18 year old Zariah took the throne as Coptica. His first act as Emperor was to send Exhibition onto the surface to see if they can recolonize the surface world. Majority of the scout troops where destroyed by a Yemeni tribe that migrated across the waters and eventually settled around the Addis Ababa area. In response to this massacre of his scout troops he sent up a group of 1000 power armored soldiers, along with himself in power armor, to destroy the Yemeni tribe that murdered his men. The battle itself was nothing but a slaughter house, with the primitive guns and spears of the Yemeni tribes barring no match for the power armor. Within two months the Ethiopian troops pushed what was left of the Yemeni Tribes to Socotra, where they sent over boats to siege down and take the Island. The rest of the Yemeni tribesmen where disperse out among Africa and the middle east, with some sources they even went as far as India. Zariah then set upon officially making New Addis Ababa and the Original Addis Ababa one city, with the ruins of the old territory serving as the area that they must repopulate. He set upon rebuilding the old Fasilides Castle to make it the knew capital building for the Empire. Zariah also declared the creation of the Holy Empire of Ethiopia, the successor state to the old Empire that once dominated Africa would be reborn from the ashes of the Rebirth. Zariah knew that it was his destiny to claim the land that was stolen from his families line during the 200 years of following the War of Gods. [b]Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):[/b] 99% of the Empire is Ethiopian following the mass eradication + the racial inbreeding during the 200 years underground. The other 1% are Yemeni's tribes that are hiding from the Empires control over the region. [b]Main Religion:[/b] It is a similar thing for religion, with around 95% of the Empire being Ethiopian Orthodox, and 4.9% being Islamic, with another 0.1% being Yemeni Pagan. [b]Other:[/b] [/center]
