The Peasants' Republic of Oberia (Occitan: Republica Paisana d'Oberia) is a country south of Hummland and east of Spansos Gaming. Known for its vast farmlands and its great agrarian projects, Oberia is a fast-developing country since its foundation.

Etymology

The name Oberia comes from the Breton verb ober, which means "to make, to do", and descends from Latin opera, which means "work, exertion". As the country would rely on socialist thoughts and workers' rights, it felt right to name it after this.

The preferred pronunciation of Oberia is [oʊˈbɪɹiə] in English, and [uˈβɛɾjo] in Occitan.

The Occitanized form Obèria with a grave on the stressed vowel is considered valid, but rarely used to accomodate for those who cannot type diacritics.

History

Founding

After joining the Empire of Coldba (Cuba), citizen MAGNVS started great works for the wellness of the people of Coldba (Cuba). However, having fallen out of love with the cold climate of the country, MAGNVS set to claim land in a more sunny, warmer area where he could continue working. The flag was first designed on July 20th 2024, and the country was declared on July 24th, though the first blocks would only be laid in Oberia on July 27th, a day formally celebrated as Independence Day.

To this day, Oberia maintains peaceful and friendly relationships with Coldba (Cuba), the Port of Eras and Hummland for their help in developing the country in its first days.

Pèroi- West Showhen Islands dispute with Kyaw Cen

When Supreme Commissar MAGNVS submitted Oberia's borders fo recognition to nearby nations on July 23rd 2024, he inadvertently included the Western Showhen Islands, which were claimed by the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen.

During the Supreme Commissar's absence, Quing Marcy stated this was a reasonable casus belli to start a war - this led to a statement from Kate, Empress of Coldba (Cuba), expressing that she would protect Oberia, as MAGNVS was a citizen of Coldba (Cuba) at the time. Namnak, Magistrate of Enkavak, then warned that they would join the war on Kyaw Cen's side. Quite happily, the Supreme Commissar came back before the situation escalated out of control. It was then decided that the Western Showhen Islands would be ruled under a condominium between Kyaw Cen and Oberia, which only recognizes the local government of the Peasants' Republic of Pèroi Islands.

2024 Great Works Program

Establishment of the Commune of Las Cabanetas

One of the first steps undertook by Supreme Commissar MAGNVS to develop Oberia was the establishment of its capital, the town of Oberia, right outside of the train line built by Kate and Hummus.

Since the first structures built in the commune were small shacks, it was named Las Cabanetas, which means "the little shacks" in Occitan.

As of today, the commune has been established and is still being developed.

Establishment of the Autonomous Commune of Ys

A second project started by MAGNVS to make use of the stacks of dirt in his chests consisted in the expansion of an island near the shore of Còsta del Lhevant. Part of these stacks were used for the Pèroi Islands, but in a limited scale.

The Island of Ys was expanded to make it suitable for settlement and the establishment of a second commune in the country.

As of today, the project is still ongoing.

Government

As its official name implies, Oberia is a republic whose political system is centered and based on the full involvement of the working class in the political life of the country.
