== History ==

=== Early history ===
Aranna was founded in the very beginning of the First Era during the period known as the First Moons. It was the first nation to publicly declare its existence to the world. Being a rapidly advancing settlement in the forests of Ehb, Aranna was known for its industry and early philanthropic tendencies, as it supplied nearby nations with Testifikan workers and tools & armour.

During the late First Moons, Aranna spearheaded an expedition to the End dimension via the Saigon Stronghold, accompanied by members of Ascëa, Belmonte, and Cauldra. Ever since then, the Dragon Egg has remained in Arannese possession. Aranna subsequently annexed Ascëa in a mutual agreement, forming the short-lived Confederate States of Aranna.

=== Confederate States of Aranna ===

A few Dawns after the First Moons, on M1/D2/E1 (2023/08/30), after short negotiations, leading to Arannese annexation of Ascëa, the people of Aranna and Ascëa confederated, forming the Confederate States of Aranna, a democratic republic, under a common banner.

The CSA did not exist for too long, and due to internal pressure, it was disbanded on M3/D4/E1 (2023/09/16).
Subsequently after the dissolution of the CSA, Ascëan valley folk moved to form Parakascëa, and Aranna restored its control over the region. This paved the way to Lysoborian Interregnum.

=== Lysoborian Interregnum ===

Upon the dissolution of the CSA, the leadership of Aranna, Tristram Whitestrake and Scarlet Crimson as well as a newcomer under the alias "Pumpe" formed a military host under the name Lysobor, which means "fallen forest" in Lysoborian Arannese.

During the Interregnum period, under supervision from Scarlet Crimson, Aranna had its first private company – '''LMW''', or '''Lysoborśka Mašynna Wyrobńa''' (Lysoborian Machine Works). The company specialised in infrastructure, engineering, and aviation, being one of the first known services for air travel across Cinder.

Subsequently after this discovery of flight, citizen Pumpe opened a tavern in the capital city of Aranna, called the Golden Keg. Its official opening occurred on M3/D6/E1 (2023/09/30)

The Lysobor Host served as the protector of the Arannese territory until the creation of a stable government under the Democratic People's Republic of Aranna.

== Political system ==
Aranna over the months of its existence phased through  multiple governmental systems, though its ruling caste remained since its formation.


The Arannese Kaiserstaat is an "Absolute Constitutional Monarchy", meaning the power of the ruler, titled "the Kaiser" has absolute authority over the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, but maintaining the rule of the Imperial Charter and acting within its laws, dictated by the overall will of the people.


Aranna is also home to an enigmatic and incomplete ideological and philosophical movement called "Metamorphism", started and devised by [[Tristram Whitestrake]] as a response to [[Revolutionism]]'s rapid spread across the region.

== Culture ==
[[File:Aranna poster.png|thumb|Arannese military poster]]
Arannese culture is centered around the maintenance of total social cohesion between the citizens. Arannese recruitment policy states that newcomers would not be admitted to the nation if the population protests.

At the same time Arannese culture can bei characterised with cleanliness and generosity, as was seen in the First Moons period and the "Open doors" procedure, letting all those in need receive residential rights in the state, and all newly admitted citizens receive residences in the capital city free of charge.


Militarily Aranna maintains combat readiness at all times, and is the first nation to publicly adopt a set of rules of warfare, called the Codex Militaris. Under this Codex, the Arannese Military, which includes the Staatwehr and Landsknecht branches operates within specific parameters, which disallow members of the military from marauding, harming civilian populations, arbitrarily arrest civilians, or use specific types of weapons.

== Religion ==
Though a secular state, Aranna is home to the Church of the Divines. Two temples are located in greater Aranna, in the Capital and Whitestrake provinces.
