Lomtai

Lomtai, officially the Great Republic of Lomtai (: ລົມໃຕ້ສາທາລະນະລັດຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່; Lomtai Sathalanalad Nyinghainy; : 대남풍공화국; Dae Nampung Gonghwagug; : 大南風共和國; Dà Nánfēng Gònghéguó) is a land-locked country located in South Jungju. Its name, Lomtai, is written using the “南風”, as well as the Akson characters "ລົມໃຕ້" literally “south wind”. Lomtai’s etymology originates from an ancient legend known as The Peasant From Lom.

Lomtai initially began as a territory of the Cheonje empire, with the first mentions of Lomtai were first recorded 316 CE. These first historical records detailed a small series of skirmishes along the Leungvui river between a group of northern elites and local commoners. Multiple skirmishes in and around the Dokmai area continuously occurred for decades following the initial fight. In 834 CE a long series of revolts against the oppressive Cheonje government led to a long war. In 866 CE, only a decade before the fall Cheonje, the southern region of what is now present-day Anviene in southern Lomtai to gain its independence. Once Cheonje collapsed, Lomtai was able to conquer the majority of its present-day territory, thus beginning what is known as the First Majestic Kingdom. This kingdom lasted until 1401 when a mass coup d'ete forced the royal family into exile, and the founding of a new dynastic kingdom, the Lom Kingdom. Lom spanned all across present-day Lomtai, and even further into northern Suwannaphum and western Wa Muong, though by 1492 its territory had been enclosed to its present-day borders.

With the onslaught of the industrial revolution, Lom found itself unable to keep up with its neighbors, especially Van Xuan. The emperor was obsessed with upholding the values and practices of feudal society, much to the dissatisfaction of the commoners. Due to the introduction of republics up north in Sinju, the commoners had began to heavily resent the monarchy, this all culminated into a massive assault on the Majestic Palace, the aftermath of which was the death of the emperor and his children, the empress-consort along with the eunuchs were sent into exile. On 23 Samwol, 1876 the Republic of Lom was established, this republic oversaw the modernization and industrialization reforms throughout the country. Though Lom had made great progress, it was still exceedingly poor. Believing that it would bring great social and economic prosperity, the Lom government had founded the Democratic People's Commune of Lomtai (DPCL) in Yuwol of 1936. The chairman of the Communal Committee of Lomtai (CCL), Ghong Khankhan initiated the Great Leap Forward, a series of social, economic and political policies enacted to separate Lomtai from "evils" of capitalist Sinju. By 1950, more than 40% of Loms lived in extreme poverty, things only worsened when a drought in one of Lomtai's most vital agricultural regions brought five years of mass famine and disease. The CCL was eventually able to stabilize the situation, as Lomtai imported food from its neighbors, mainly Van Xuan. Though the famine had been dealt with, Lomtai continued to suffer from a rampant measles outbreak, the measles outbreak ended in 1960. The Great Famine, as it's come to be known, claimed an estimated 3-6 percent of the country's entire population. By 1977 more than 70% of Lomtai's working class were in extreme poverty, and the people began to get fed up. The CCL made various promises, which all fell through. In 1992 a massive coup d'ete, known as the Coup of the Commune resulted in the surrender and execution of Lomtai's former communal government. The international community, though mainly the Sinju Union on ASJN where highly doubtful that Lomtai could revive itself after such detrimental damage to its people. In 1993 a provincial government was established, this provincial government worked hard to reverse the policies enacted during the Communal Era, also known as the Great Leap Backward. After five years, the provincial government drafted a constitution, upon the signing of the constitution the provincial government was dissolved.

On 30 Owol, 1997, the Great Republic of Lomtai was established. Lomtai is a south Jungjuan nation, it is progressing rather quickly, it was one of the world's poorest countries, but since 2005 has been ranked among the 50 richest countries in the world. It's anticipated that by 2045 that Lomtai will take its place as one of Jungju's twenty-five Jungjuan Tigers. Lomtai has a small number of foreign investors, mainly from Yedal and Yoju, since the country is rapidly developing, other nations foresee great economic prosperity in Lomtai's future. One of the largest contributes to Lomtai's economy is its tourism industry, the country is internationally renowned for its array of historical monuments, as well as its many geographic wonders. Lomtai receives upwards of 60 million tourists on an annual basis. Lomtai has an advanced education system, and the government promotes a healthy lifestyle for all citizens.
