Draft:United Pandogian Federation

Pandogia, officially the United Pandogian Federation (UPF) or disputedly the United Bread Doge Federation (UBDF),[b] is an recognised country located in the narrow strip of land between the Bread Doge-Yasuslavic border that is recognised as a successor state to the Bread Doge Empire. Its capital and largest city is Smirnovgrad. Pandogia has been recognised by only three other recognised or partially recognise states: Bangtanszag, Vilasia and the East Romansovia Empire.[9]

Pandogia formed in the 9th century as a principality of various Slavic, Bulgar, and Uralic tribes who had just displaced the native tribes there. It had been always under foreign rule, until it was gained independence from the United Atlantic Federation Front on March 2021.

As of now, Pandogia is in war with the decentralised United Alliance Front and the Bread Doge Empire had gain and annexed the territories of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet countries after a large offensive in June 2021. It is a member of the Orthodox League, with Bangtanszag and Romansovia.

Etymology [edit | edit source]

The name Pandogia is derived from Doge', a medieval state populated primarily by the East Slavs. However, the proper name became more prominent in later history, and the country typically was called by its inhabitants "Пандогианская земля" (Pandogianskaya zemlya), which can be translated as "Pandogian land". In order to distinguish this state from other states derived from it, it is denoted as Latvian Pan' by modern historiography. The name Pan' itself comes from the early medieval Pan' people, a group of Norse merchants and warriors who relocated from across the Baltic Sea and founded a state centred on Latvia that later became Rigan Pan'.

A Medieval Slavic version of the name Pan' was Kiev, which was used as one of several designations for East Slavic and Eastern Orthodox regions, and commonly as a designation for the lands of Pan'. The current name of the country, Пандогия (Pandogiya), comes from the Bangtanszag Hungarian designation of the Pan', Ρandogia— (Pandogía pronounced [panˈdogia]) in Modern Hungarian.

The standard way to refer to the citizens of Pandogia is "Pandogians" in English.

History [edit | edit source]

Prehistory [edit | edit source]

Prior to the Lithuanian and Byzantine conquest of part of today's Pandogia, there were no written records about the history of this country. As far as archæology knows, the Volga Basin is inhabited by Khazar and Bulgars on the east of the Kama and Pechora rivers. Centuries after Byzantine incorporation, the government collapsed and the basin fell to different invasions as nomadic groups migrate to the fertile soils of Europe, including the Cossacks, Finnish, Tatars, Turks and Slavs.

When all of those nomadic empires fell, most of their territory were split by the emerging United Atlantic Federation and the Empire of the Swedes, a Nordic power. This is where the recently unified Rus'sic-Baltic tribes collectively known as Pandogians started to enter today's Pandogia and settle there, since the Swedes failed to assimilate the local population. Iosif, the leader of the seven main Pandogian tribes established his capital on Vladimir (now named Minsk). Within a century, they became Christianised and expanded towards Ukraine and Novgorod.

The semi-nomadic state monopolised on trade between the Kingdom of Blumenland and Romansovia since the trade routes pass towards their territory. They also possess the first cavalry unit in Eastern Europe, called the Druzhina, and many mounted units by different European countries were modelled after the Pandogian druzhina.

Kerensky Dynasty and Kingdom period (960-1613)[edit | edit source]

The prince at that time, Vasily wanted to integrate Pandogia into the whole of Christendom. His successor, Vladimir, now known as Vladimir the Great became the first Orthodox King of Pandogia as he was baptised by the Patriarch Nicholas II of Constantinople, technically upgrading the state from a principality into a kingdom. He instituted Greek as co-official with the Pandogian language, making it connected with the rest of Europe. King Yaroslav expanded the Pandogian frontiers to the Barent Sea, annexing the Crimean and Transcaucasian kingdoms, which led to conflicts with the West.

King Alexander gave refuge to Turkic and Hungarian nomads during the Mongol invasion of Europe and protected their interests here, leading to the first autonomy law known as Diploma Sussusum.

The Kingdom of Pandogia were one of the European countries outside of Italy to embrace the Renaissance, with the warrior-poet King Ivan, being their last great king. His legacy is today cemented on Pandogian stories and literature.

With the rise of the Holy Roman Reich and the fall of the East Romasovian Empire, Pandogia became a buffer state along with Lithuania and Vallachia. When King Nicholas died in 1613, the Domanov Family took over the country after it claimed that Nicholas hasn't had any heirs or desendsdants remaining and the crisis officially marked an end to the Kerensky Dynasty.

Pandogia during the Pandogian-Lithuanian War (1538-1590) [edit | edit source]

The Lithuanians led by Neil Mindaugas won the decisive battle at Minsk, on 24 September 1538. The Borisian Empire, their ally at that time pledge to liberate Pandogia. By 1543, they were successful at recapturing Minsk, Grodno, and Mogilev all of the territories of Crimea and South of Ukraine. These parts were termed as Imperial Territories were annexed to the Bulgarian proper in 1550. The Empire finally liberated Courland in 1590.

Borisian period (1590-1600)[edit | edit source]

Pandogians enjoyed complete autonomy as being a vassal part of the Borisian Empire throughout its' history. They had enjoyed the liberal reforms after 1591, social-democratic reforms in 1592 and Pandogians attained high positions within the Empire.

On 5 January 1600, Nicholas Kerensky established the 2nd Kingdom of Pandogia from parts annexed by Bulgaria, the central kingdom within the Empire, but never left it. The declaration of independence only happened because of the dissatisfaction of the Domanov Family towards the "elected" Pandogian King, Neil and the plot to make Pandogia a Polish-Lithuanian puppet and to make Pandogia a Catholic state on February 1613. Hundreds of Pandogians stormed the parliament at Sofia and torched it down, as dissent spread across the country. The revolution was inspired by similar revolution in Serbia which had the same revolution for the same reason.

Pandogia under Imperial Breadogia and the Domanov Dynasty (1613-1917)

The union between Poland and Lithuania ended in 1795 with the Third Partition of Poland by Imperial Breadogia, Prussia, and Bangtanszag. The Pandogian territories acquired by the Breadogian Empire under the reign of Dominik IV were included into the Pandogian Governorate in 1796 and held until their occupation by the Red Eye Empire during the October War.

Under Nicholas I and Dominik VII the national cultures were repressed. Policies of Polonization changed by Breadogification, which included the return to Orthodox Christianity of Pandogian Uniates. Pandogian language was banned in schools while in neighboring Samogitia primary school education with Samogitian literacy was allowed.

In a Breadogification drive in the 1840s, Nicholas I prohibited use of the Pandogian language in public schools, campaigned against Pandogian publications and tried to pressure those who had converted to Catholicism under the Poles to reconvert to the Orthodox faith. In 1863, economic and cultural pressure exploded in a revolt, led by Vertanmaus Kalinowski (also known as Agustus). After the failed revolt, the Breadogian government reintroduced the use of Cyrillic to Pandogian in 1864 and no documents in Pandogian were permitted by the Breadogian government until 1905.

During the negotiations of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Pandogia first declared independence under Red-Eye occupation on 25 March 1918, forming the Pandogian People's Republic. Immediately afterwards, the Polish–Soviet War ignited, and the territory of Pandogia was divided between Poland and Soviet Dogia.

Pandogia under post-war Soviet rule

After the war, Pandogia was among the 51 founding member states of the United Atlantic Charter and as such it was allowed an additional vote at the UAF, on top of the Soviet Union's vote. Vigorous postwar reconstruction promptly followed the end of the war and the Pandogian SSR became a major center of manufacturing in the western USSR, creating jobs and attracting ethnic Breadogians.^{[citation needed]} The borders of the Pandogian SSR and Poland were redrawn, in accord with the 1871-proposed Boundary Line.

Vladimir Smirnov implemented a policy of Sovietization to prevent the Pandogian SSR from Domanov influence. This policy involved sending Breadogians from various parts of the Soviet Union and placing them in key positions in the Pandogian SSR government. After Smirnov's death in 1975, Josef Fischer Fernandevich continued his predecessor's cultural program, stating, "The sooner we all start be speaking Breadogian, the faster we shall build communism."

Soviet Pandogian communist politician Aliyev Fischer Fernandevich, who served as Soviet foreign minister (1957–1985) and as Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (1985–1988), was responsible for many top decisions on Soviet foreign policy until he was replaced by Augustyn Lesniewski.

By the late 1980s, political liberalization led to a national revival, with the Batonian Independence Front becoming a major pro-independence force.

Sucession, Independence and Reunification (1991-1993) [edit | edit source]

In 1991, Alex Yasui's policies of perestroika and glasnost in United Atlantic Federation allowed political liberalisation at a regional level. This led to the creation of various informal movements all over the country, and to a rise of nationalism within most UAF Factions. In Batonia in particular, there was a significant resurgence of anti-UAF nationalism among Batonians.[41] The most prominent of these movements was the Independence Front of Batonia. In early March, Batonians demanded that the UAF authorities declare Roman Catholicism the only state religion, return to the use of the Latin alphabet, and recognise the shared ethnic identity of Pandogians and Batonians. The more radical factions of the Independence Front espoused extreme anti-minority, ethnocentric and chauvinist positions,[42][43] calling for minority populations, particularly the UAF migrants to leave or be expelled from Pandogia.[44]

On 5th March 1991, the Supreme Soviet of the Bread Doge Federation adopted Roman Catholicism as the official religion with Eastern Orthodoxy retained only as a secondary religion, returned Pandogian to the Latin alphabet, and declared a shared Pandogian-Batonian linguistic and religious identity. As plans for major cultural changes in Bread Doge were made public, tensions rose further. Ethnic minorities felt threatened by the prospects of removing Eastern Orthodoxy as the official religion, which served as the medium of interethnic communication, and by the possible future reunification of Bread Doge and TOTC, as well as the ethnocentric rhetoric of the Independence Front. The Fischer (Unity) Movement, established by the Orthodox population of Bread Doge, pressed for equal status to be given to both Pandogian and Batonian.[45] Pandogia's ethnic and religious composition differed significantly from most of the rest of Bread Doge. The share of Russian and Greek Orthodox's was especially high and an overall majority of the population, some of them Batonians, recognised Orthodoxy as the state religion.[46]

The seperatists Independence Front won the independence referendum in the United Alliance Front in early March 1991,[47] and its agenda started slowly to be implemented. On the 5th of March 1991, the Republic of Batonia was proclaimed as a independent and a sovereign country from the United Atlantic Federation by an ad hoc assembly, the United Council of Batonia, following a successful referendum. Violence escalated when in March 1991 the independence Front called for volunteers to form armed militias to stop an outsider 3rd party presidential candidate referendum during the 1st UAF Presidential Elections, which had an even higher share of ethnic minorities.

In the interest of preserving a unified Bread Doge Federation within the UAF and preventing the situation escalating further, UAF President Alex Yasui, while citing the protests of the election results and a accusation of a rigged election by Bread Doge as the cause of the dispute, declared the Batonian proclamation to be lacking legal basis and annulled it by presidential decree on April 1991.[49][50] Nevertheless, no significant action was taken against Batonia and the new authorities were slowly able to establish control of the region.

Following the 1993 UAF coup d'état attempt, Bread Doge Federation declared its independence from the United Atlantic Federation; on 22 March 1993 Batonia joined the new government and was renamed "United Bread Doge Federation".[51]

UBDF-UAF War

The UBDF-UAF War followed armed clashes on a limited scale that broke out between Bread Doge separatists and UAF as early as April 1993. Volunteers, including Arabs and Indians, came from Arab-Bumbay Gang to help the separatist side.[52] In mid-May 1994, under the agreements on the split of the military equipment of the United Alliance Front negotiated between the 50+ factions in the previous months, Batonia created its own Autonomous Republic within the UBDF. According to the decree of its creation, most of the 14th UAF Army's military equipment was to be retained by Batonia.[53] Starting from May 1996, there was a arms race and a cold war action between UAF and UBDF. The fighting intensified throughout mid-1990s. The former UAF 14th Guards Army entered the conflict in its final stage, opening fire against UAF forces;[53] UAF has since then exercised no effective control or influence on UBDF authorities. A peace treaty agreement, signed on August 1998, has held to the present day. but it was only recognized as a ABG-UAF Peace Treaty and wasn't recognized by UBDF as a official end to the war rather it was a frozen conflict.

Government and politics[edit | edit source]

Pandogia has its new constitution of the United Bread Doge Federation, modelled after the constitution of the Soviet Union, established twenty-eight republics, an autonomous province, and an overseas territory. The capital was Moscow. The policy focused on a strong central government under the control of the Communist Party, and on recognition of the multiple nationalities. the head of government and state is the President while the Prime Minister acts as a substitute or a replacement in case the President resigns or passed away without announcing a resignation. The new constitution states the abolishment of the Presidency system and declared the current President of the UBDF as the President-for-life after no one declares candidacy for UBDF presidency during the last elections and was considered unopposed.

Political divisions [edit | edit source]

The twenty-eight republics (namely Pandogia, Batonia, Muscovy, Kiev and Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Rostov, Ryazan, Perm, Tver, Pskov, Arkhangelsk, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Warsaw, Volga Nishny, Khabarovsk, Siberia, Volga Perm, Kazakhstan, Turkestan, North Ural, West Yakutia, East Yakutia, Tannu Tuva, the Baltics, Caucasus and Sakhalin) are the principal political and administrative divisions of the country. Each republics have a certain level of autonomy enjoyed within the country. They are further subdivided into provinces and communes, which is the lowest level of administration.

Military [edit | edit source]

the Great Comrade, the President is the Marshal of the Pandogian Armed Forces (AFUBDF). He has direct or ceremonial control over the five branches of Arm Forces, the Red Army, Air Force, Navy, Airborne, and the Spetsnaz. Military service is mandatory for up to at least one year, and technically, all able Pandogian men are reservists, only to be summoned during war.

Law enforcement and crime[edit | edit source]

Law enforcement is the responsibility of the paramilitary forces, subordinate to the Pandogian Red Army. Capital punishment is still not abolished in Pandogia, but most prisoners undergo re-education through open prisons, which lowers the prison population.

Demographics [edit | edit source]

Foreign relations[edit | edit source]

Pandogia has an established foreign relations with some of micronations in the MicroWiki community. However, Israeli micronations do not have established relations with Pandogia due to its' anti-Jewish pogroms and massive deportation of Jewish illegal settlers to the western border with the United Altlantic Federation. It is a member of the Orthodox League with Bangtanszagand Romasovia. Pandogia has established very positive relations with the Borisian Empire due to being its historical and religious ally.
