The Workers' Council Republic of Brezzia, commonly called Brezzia, is a island country in the Southern emisphere of The Communist Bloc. It is surrounded on the north by the Central Sea, on the east by the Sea of Brezzia, which bathes Thebrin, Proletariana, The Aquaria, and The passerine islands, on the south by the Sea of -Gregoria, and on the west by the Kolyish Channel, which separates it from Kolyagrad, Technoscience Leftwing, and The union of malaysian socialists.

Brezzia covers 125,000 square kilometres and has an estimated population of 11.55 million people. It comprises of seven Provinces, two Autonomous Districs and one Capital District. Brezzia is a member of the World Assembly.

Name

The name of Brezzia came from the Bruttians, an ancient Italic tribe of Lucanian descent inhabiting the southern extremity of Italy that roughly corresponds to the modern region of Calabria. The name of Bruttii (Βρέττιοι) was given to them by the Lucanians, and signified in their language "rebels" (δραπέται, ἀποστάται). But though used at first as a term of reproach, it was subsequently adopted by the Bruttii themselves. Brezzians adopted their name because they consider themselves rebels against the capitalist exploitation of labour.

History

Pre-colonial

Brezzia was first inhabited arround 13,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers. It is estimated that at the time of the first contact with the people of the Continent in the 16th century there were about 15,000 Natives island-settlements. There is an extensive group of thousands of man-made archaeological finds in the whole country, some of them dating back to 5,000 years ago, yet very little is known about the people who built them as they left no written record.

The archipelago's strategic sea-lane position fostered inter-island and international trade, including with Western kingdoms and Eastern dynasties of the Southern emisphere, from several centuries BCE. Trade has since fundamentally shaped Brezzian history.

Colonial era

The Oranguese were the first Continentals to arrive in the archipelago in 1512, followed by Gallopavian and Albionian traders. The indigenous peoples' fierce resistance to conquest, combined with the absence of gold and silver, limited their settlement in the region during the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1602, Gallopavia became the dominant Continental power in western Brezzia for almost 200 years.

Between 1615 and 1753, Galliennais traders also engaged in trade in Brezzia. The first Galliennais missionaries arrived in eastern Brezzia in 1658. Missionaries from Moltevino joined the East Brezzia mission in 1676 and were present in South Brezzia from 1719 to 1834. Following the detention of several missionaries by Brezzian authorities (threatened by continuous Violetisation activities), Galliennes intervened in eastern Brezzia in 1843, with the pretext of freeing imprisoned Violetist missionaries. Brezzia's sovereignty was gradually eroded by Galliennes, aided by the Moltevinians and perhaps some Brezzian Violetists, in a series of military conquests between 1859 and 1885. Between 1862 and 1867, the southern third of the island became a Galliennais colony. By 1884, the entire northern third had come under Galliennais rule as a protectorate. The two entities were formally integrated into the union of Galliennais Brezzia in 1887. In 1884, the northern smaller islands of the Brezzian archipelago had been conquered and colonised by Albionia.

Colonial governments sought to eradicate the native Brezzian population, greatly decimating them in the genocide of the Brezzian natives. In the early 20th century, Brezzia had an estimated population of just under 100,000, so immigration from other countries was encouraged, especially from southern Moltevino. Immigrant workers were employed in the Timber Woodchipping Industry in the Brezzian rainforest. After the socialist uprisings in Smalltopia and Moltevino, the exploited workers formed trade unions and joined revolutionary socialist and communist organizations.

Partition of Brezzia in 1884.

For most of the colonial period, Gallopavian control over the archipelago was tenuous. Gallopavian forces were engaged continuously in quelling rebellions both on and off Brezzia. Only in the early 20th century the Gallopavian dominance extended to West Brezzia. The Galliennais and the Albionians maintained full control over their colonies until NationStates War II, when the Sakuraese invasion and subsequent occupation encouraged the previously suppressed independence movement.

Indipendence

In 1941, the Communist guerrillas of the Brezzian Liberation Front sought independence for East Brezzia from Galliennes and the end of the Sakuraese occupation. Brezzia was occupied by Sakura for almost four years. Albionia resumed control of its protectorate 1945. Gallopavia attempted to re-establish their rule and a bitter armed and diplomatic struggle ended in December 1949 when the Gallopavians formally recognised West Brezzia independence in the face of international pressure.

Gradually, dissatisfaction among the natives and immigrants, which lacked political and economic status under the colonial system, gave rise to demands for greater political autonomy and eventually independence. East Brezzian Indipendence Movement asked the Galliennes to withdraw their colonial administrators and for Galliennais professors and engineers to help build a modern independent East Brezzian, but Galliennes did not act on these requests, including the idea of independence, and dispatched expeditionary corps to restore colonial rule. This resulted in the indipendentists launching a guerrilla campaign against the Galliennais in late 1946. The uprising against the occupying Galliennais forces was suppressed through several massacre.

The resulting First Brezzian War lasted until July 1954. The colonial administration was thereby ended and Galliennais Brezzia was dissolved into North and South administrative regions, divided at the Demilitarised Zone pending elections scheduled for July 1956. But in 1955, the southern State of Brezzia's prime minister organized a fraudulent referendum and proclaimed himself president of the Republic of Brezzia, supported by the United Federation and Galliennes.

In 1956, about 80 revolutionares from the Democratic Republic of Brezzia (North Brezzia) landed in an attempt to start a rebellion against the Brezzian Republic (West Brezzia). By late 1958 the rebels had broken out of the Serra Maestra and launched a general popular insurrection. Revolutionary forces entered Arcadia on 8 January 1959 and formed an other Communist government.

Unification

In 1963, discontent with the UF supported regime of South Brezzia erupted into mass demonstrations, leading to a political instability. The South Brezzia's repression against the the communists insurgency caused the Second Brezzian War. In December 1974, North Brezzia, supported by East Lebatuck and Dàguó, started a full-scale offensive, culminating in the liberation of Heliopolis on 30 April 1975.

West, North and South Brezzia were merged to form the Socialist Republic of Brezzia. The war left Brezzia devastated. The government embarked on a mass campaign of collectivisation of farms and factories. The standard of living in the 1970s was "extremely spartan". The Communist government consolidated its popularity among the peasants through land reform. Brezzia developed an independent industrial system. The Brezzia population increased from 30 million in 1950 to 65 million in 1974.

The natives of the Albionian protectorate of Brezzian islands (conquered in 1884) appealed to the World Assembly for oversight and annexation to Brezzia. The islands established independence from Albionia and joined the Socialist Republic of Brezzia in 1975.

In December 1986, Brezzia implemented a series of political reforms that carefully managed the transition from a state communism system to a council communism system. The official name of the country became the Workers' Council Republic of Brezzia. Though the authority of the state was devolved to the Regional administrations, the government never allowed private ownership of the means of production, economic deregulation or foreign investment, maintaining a planned econmy. The Brezzian economy subsequently achieved strong growth in agricultural and industrial production, construction and exports.

In the 1990s, Brezzia's economic performance pulled an estimated 5 million peasants out of poverty and sustained an average annual gross domestic product growth rate of 5.2%. The country maintained its high rate of economic growth in the 2000s, without severe impact on the country's resources and environment and major social displacement.
