"From the Mountains to the Shiny Sea..."

A Nation of Ideals

      The nation of Aspaylia, or "Aspayle",  derived from the native name "Aspuyale" (Which Roughly means "Land on the Edge", probably owing to the fact that Aspaylia is a coastal country) was a colony, for most of its History, being ruled by an Imperialistic Nation far away. Over time, more settlers arrived, fleeing religious and political persecution after a period of bloody wars ravaging the Old World. The Aspaylian colonies flourished with the new influx of settlers, and prosperous trade with both their neighbours and their masters from Across the Sea. 

Eventually, resentment begun to grow amongst the people against their Colonizers, who ruled the country with an Iron Fist, and collected hefty taxes from the local population. After many failed attempts,  a revolt broke out across the many colonies, united in the name of a new Aspaylia, free from Colonial rule and free to forge its own destiny. The Imperialists decided that a war would be too costly, and accepted the demands of the revolutionaries. Thus was born the Federative Republic of Aspaylia.

Changing Tides

   After Industrialization took off, the rise of Communism across Orbis only stoked the fire of revolution higher and higher once again. Not willing to take the risk of a potential socialist victory, the government immediately took action, backed by the majority of the Population, and rooted out dissidents and "Political Threats", while at the same time beginning a series of reforms in order to appease the growing worker's movement. The government tried its best to keep the changes moderate, and managed to keep the country a free market. This, along with the fact that a vast majority of the country holds tight to conservative sentiments, means that Aspaylia stands as an all-round Traditionalist country.
