Media (officially the Republic of Media) is a nation located at the center of the Gran Media region, bordered by Nuvizzeir to the north and Media del Sur and Ri-Emuland to the south and south-east respectively. It plans to join the United Spanne of Stredné Republics, an alliance for economic and military purposes.
History
Colonial rule (1537-1949)
The area was colonized by the Madalik Empire from 1537 to 1812. The Madalikud converted the natives into their religion and united the territory as "Media", which means in the "middle" or "center", as it is in the middle of two halves of the continent.[2]
The Madalikud ruled until it lost a war with the Cellutundu Federation. The democratic nation of Cellutundi was an upstart that is located just a few nations north of Media, and they led Media until the independence referendum in November 2020.[2]
The Madalikud colonizers spent much of the region’s budget on education, and spreading their religion and language, while actively suppressing pro-independence activists. They established hundreds of churches throughout the country, some of which have become abandoned ruins-turned-tourist attractions.[2]
Cellutundi kept the education focus, but had the Madalikud language slowly die off with the government-subsidies private schools pressured to switch languages. The Cellutundu rule lasted from 1812 to 1949, and helped the Median people slowly transition into an independent republic with a multi-party democratic government. Today, Medians have strong support for closer ties with Cellutundi, reaching as high as 83% in one of the latest, December 2020, polls.[2]
