Euleanism

Euleanism, Eulean Unionism, or Pan-Eulean Nationalism, is the Ideology throughout West Alaxian advocating the reformation of the Eulean Republic and/or Eulean Union.

The Eulean Myth
The concept of Eulea first emerged in the 24th Century, as a result of the Beletharian Wars. A Thraxian man created the idea of Eulea sometime around the year 2295, claiming that it was a long-held myth in the cultures of Atlantia, Ginsukyo, Sinkayya, and Thraxia, dating back thousands of years, and possibly into prehistory. Despite no credible historical basis for these claims, the myth quickly caught on among groups in the region which was at the time under Lothyran control.

The First Eulean Republic
The myth soon blossomed into reality, when, in 23XX, the Eulean Republic was able to form, encompassing modern-day Ginsukyo, Sinkayya, and most of Thraxia. Still heavily influenced by Lothyran, it was little more than a puppet for the vast majority of it's existence. It would not take long for cracks to appear, however, as just thirty eight years after Eulea had formed, the Ginsukyan Restoration Front had seized control of the government. This nationalist takeover soon led to conflict, as Sinkayyan and Thraxian nationalists rebelled in response, along with a number of religious extremists, soon leading to the permanent fracturing of the state, and the region's eventual takeover by outside colonial powers.

Colonial Influences
With West Alaxia under the thumb of Fazar and Azyeri, the idea of Eulea once more rose to prominence as a means of jointly resisting the occupation.

The Second Eulean Union
In 2412, in the midst of the Great War, this second wave manage to succeed, public support bringing about the Second Eulean Union as a semi-independent country, consisting of Ginsukyo, Thraxia, and eventually Atlantia. However, it too would go on to suffer Ginsukyan rebellion, as the Ginsukyan Led Anti-Unionist "RRG" would begin waging a war on the Eulean Union starting in 2418 and lasting all the way to 2439. With the rebels finally defeated, Eulea would be perceived to violate the terms of it's independence from Fazar, and be annexed as a state of the Imperial Combine. It would remain this way until 2448, when the Combine was dissolved, and Atlantia, Ginsukyo, and Thrax became three independent countries.

With West Alaxia once more under the occupation of foreign powers, the Eulean movement has begun to gain steam again, especially in Atlantia, and to a lesser extent North and South Gelcaria.
