History
Majestica was a world wide run dictatorship which had many human rights breaches and ethical issues wrong towards it's civilians. Women were seen as second class citizens in comparison to men and those of a lower social class were often overlooked and deemed as useless. Many individuals didn't have the right to vote such as women, people of a different ethnic origin other than Caucasian, those with disabilities or those that are either middle or lower class. Many individuals that spoke in a negative way regarding the leadership, government or any political official would be punished criminally either receiving a fine, criminal time, relocation or in the most extreme cases they would mysteriously vanish which led many individuals believe that the government was executing anybody that would speak out against them. The population of Majestica began to speculate "How would things change?". Ideas such as a political coupe rose but ultimately due to the a lot of weaponry being needed to overthrow the government the population realised that it was not realistic to do so and began to brain storm other ideas. One being the development of a new nation.

Activism for New Nations
Peaceful protests began to be organised by founding leaders of ideas for nations. These protests were attended by any individual as they did not discriminate against anybody. Each indifference was welcome and put on a pedestal for a push towards new nations developing. With the promise for more equality women, people of different race and religion as well as those with disabilities began to rally for the idea of nations being developed. In 1860 an idea began to speculate of forming new nations but the idea was quickly rejected and laughed of by government and political officials. However; following the rise in interest activists began to find themselves at the fore-front of the media in the 1870's. The peaceful protests that activists and civilians were taking part of were met with brutal police force and criminal charges which resulted in imprisonment for certain individuals. In despite of these reactions by the police and the government protesting not only continued but also intensified with the protests beginning to disturb traffic, storm governmental buildings, vandalise shops by breaking their windows, smash police cars and work refusal. Following the increase in severity of the protests and activism work debates began to occur about the actions that would be taken surrounding those conducting the actions. One method that was tried was forced relocation into different areas of the main activists however this worked in the activists favour as they began to gain momentum in different areas that were harder to reach before. In 1885 the Majestic Prime Minister conducted a press conference following a night of rioting in the capital city. In the statement he said ''"Majestica will rise above your antics that you create. The campaign you are leading is a mere joke for us sophisticated ones in parliament to laugh at you. You would not last one day in the real world of politics. Elect your leader, then we will see if you have really thought out your plan".

Nation Referendum
6 months following the press conference the activists leading the cause of a new nation elected the leader Keir Hardie. Following the election the Majestic government were surprised at the fact that a leader had been chosen but also that it had followed the protocols of a normal election. Being pleasantly surprised they agreed to hold a referendum in which the Majestic population were allowed to vote if a new nation would be developed. The referendum was held late 1886 a year following the election result of Keir winning. The referendum saw many monumental decisions be made, many of which were campaigned for by Keir. Such as the vote being open to all social classes, both male and female individuals as well as people of different ethnic origins. This saw 90% of the population being able to vote only excluding those under the age of 16 and those that are not fit enough to vote, for example those with mental health conditions.

Following the referendum results the prime minister of Majestica acknowledged the result and allowed a new nation to be developed. The Majestic government then wrote a procedure honouring the results but which also stated that the new nation would be governed under a nation-state. This would ultimately be controlled by Majestica still despite them being allowed to elect their own government, change their demonym, currency and pass their own legislation.

Birth of Campre
Keir began to work on the development of the new nation with a group of trusted individuals who were known as the first unofficial cabinet of ministers, To gain a political experience Keir was invited to be a Minister Without Portfolio in the Majestic Government to gain an understanding of the political system within Majestica. This was also a period in which he was able to develop the nation and start the transition period for the nation as well as developing its key policies. On the 7th of December, 1892 Keir held a press conference in which he revealed the new nation to be called Campre. He additionally revealed the flag that Campre held and told individuals that when moving to Campre they would change their demonym from Majestic to Camprean.

Uprise
Following the press conference from Kier, the campaigners which were pivotal in the campaigning of the new nation began to wonder when Campre would gain full independence from Majestic leadership. Keir Hardie stated that he would raise the question within the upcoming political meeting however he later announced that it had not made the agenda of the meeting despite his request for it to do so multiple times. Due to the reluctance of the Majestic government to make progression for Campre to become an independent nation the newly birthed Camprean population began to hold activist meetings to plan further protest to gain awareness around the fact they wanted to gain independence. These meetings began with a select few number of individuals but soon grew to a level so big that meetings would not be able to take place and the events just occurred. On the 2nd of March, 1893 Keir publicly announced that he was growing increasingly alarmed that the Camprean independence would not be discussed within a political meeting and urged all political activists to continue their hard work to gain awareness. The activists began to protest using the same means as they did when trying to gain a new nation from Majestica. During the months of March to June political activists began to grow in number as well as severity causing fires in political buildings, smashing windows, burning vehicles and sending fake letters to political officials. Following initial letters, the Majestic Prime Minister commented stating "Send all the letters you like. Acting like animals; will cause us to treat you like animals". Shortly after this statement was made public the Majestic Prime Minister ordered the Majestic army to forcibly protect the government under martial law and use militant force to contain any uprising protest. As a result of the martial law Keir ordered the Camprean army to protect all Camprean civilians when aiding political activities within Campre and Majestica. Due to being massively outnumbered Keir advised all Camprean individuals to undertake basic training in self defense, following this statement the Camprean army grew by 7.5%. Additionally to this, Keir was able to secure governmental funding to create branches for the Navy, Border Guards, Coast Guards and RAF. This militant approach occurred throughout June.

Declaration of War and the First Year
Majestic political figures grew hostile towards Keir's approach of beginning to fund other military branches within Campre and declared this as an act of war on the 6th of July, 1893. In declaring war Majestica began to deploy troops to invade Campre's land mass with the intention and statement of "If we reach your capital, this new nation will be no more and Majestica will rule again". The Majestic government began to release military warfare and began to invade Campre. Due to the difference in numbers of the military forces the Camprean side found themselves out numbered until the 19th of August. On the 19th of August Virginia Bethel Moon, who was the note taker of the Majestic political office meetings released all of the notes which was discriminatory to women, those of a different ethnic background other than Caucasian and disabled individuals, showed dislike to the Majestic army or individuals in it as well as hopes to conquer the world once again. Following releasing the notes she fled to Campre for safety. The release of the notes sparked public outcry causing many individuals to turn against the Majestic government and take action in trying to weaken the Majestic army. Members of the Majestic army additionally turned on the Majestic side. She was flown immediately to Campre for safety and became one of the leading individuals in the war. Sargent William Sullivan alongside his platoon led the biggest military act of defiance within the war by stealing Majestic weaponry, technology and vehicles to better the Camprean side. As an act of appreciation they were all awarded medals of bravery and given Camprean citizenship. Following the act of defiance they joined the Camprean military and boosted the Camprean side. They were aided by some law enforcement officials, medical staff and civilians. The new additions to the Camprean side meant that they were able to further advance their military knowledge, medical knowledge and take advantages into defending their land. The platoon completed the act of defiance by claiming they were leading a military invasion within a Camprean area however, once in that area surrendered explaining what they did.

1894-1896
Campre found themselves in a defensive tactic when fighting against Majestica having to protect their made borders by the Majestic government. Keir continued to rally the nation with promotional techniques which found the majority of Camprean men joining the military and fighting on behalf of Campre. Through the two year period they found themselves on a back and forth battle to keep their borders the same. The most memorable defensive battle occurred in which a Camprean troop the size of 67 defeated a Majestic troop of 156. The battle occurred in the capital city of Aria and saw the Camprean side able to retain their main city which stored their highest level of medical equipment. Within this war 13 Majestic soldiers were able to escape with a team of 7 Camprean surgeons and 2 nurses. They made the statement that they would be released in exchange for the city of Aria. Keir began to make plans within these two years with the highest officials within the nation and spies from the majestic army and government to shift from a defensive tactic to an offensive. These plans were put into execution in April 1897.

1897-1901
In April 1897 the Camprean government made the official change to an offensive tactic within the war and aimed to main significant advancements into Majestic land to further free Camprean prisoners and Majestic refugees/asylum seekers. The Camprean army began the attack in the neighboring city of Aria where they sided with Majestic military spy Andre W. Brewster. Collectively they were able to free all prisoners and get them safety back into Campre. Keir made the statement "History is turning to the right side and the further Campre travels; the further we will be right in freeing those in need. We are not doing this for evil, we are doing this to let those escape evil". Over the next years Campre made further advancements into Majestic land gaining security for further Camprean prisoners and those that opposed the Majestic government; throughout this period they were able to triple the Camprean population and double the land mass that they previously had.

1901-1905
Throughout 1901, 1902 and 1903 wars occurred on both Camprean and Majestic sides with loss of life being great to both sides.

Camprean Early Stages
The nation became independent in 1905 electing their first government.

Flag
On the 7th of December, 1892 the prime minister of Campre Keir Hardie revealed what the flag of Campre looked like. He revealed the meanings behind each aspect of the flag telling the public that each element symbolizes different aspects of Campre's upcoming, history and how he aims Campre to be in the future. The red on the flag represents the love for one another and the acceptance that the nation will show not only other individuals from Campre but also to other nations as-well as those that are refugees. The blue represents the ocean and water within Campre. This is shown through the aspiration of preserving the sea-beds for as long as humanly possible. The black represents the dark past Campre has faced in terms of political injustice, criminal injustice and hate crime through the fight of seeking independence as-well as the constant fear brought upon the nation by the dictatorship, Majestica.

Gender, Sex & Sexuality
Campre is one of the fore-front nations in terms of gender, sex and sexuality rights. As of 2021 Campre officially recognizes 3 genders which are male, female and non-binary however give individuals to fill in their census with a gender labelled as other. This is so Campre can be ever-growing in diversity and equal rights for all.

Suffrage Movement
In the early 1880's the women's suffrage movement for the right to vote began to gain momentum in Majestica. Women from lower class backgrounds and ethnic minorities were often recruited to rally due to them having less rights compared to women of a higher social class or those that were Caucasian. Prominent figures began to establish but due to Majestic ruling, these women were often put in prison, abused and in extreme cases executed. Running alongside the campaign for a new nation, many individuals supported both movements and put forward both agendas when campaigning saying that the new nation will be a safe-haven for women and women's right due to it being a blank slate where legislation can be written to excel women's rights instead of hinder them. Upon his election win, Keir Hardie began to champion women's rights saying that women are not second class citizens and must not be treated like them.

Suffrage in Early Campre
Once Campre gained independence Keir made it one of his priorities to make sure women were treated equally to men. The founding legislation of the Gender Act 1905 found that women had the eligibility to stand in elections, hold managerial positions in businesses and to also have the ability to own property. Women that had campaigned for suffrage in Majestica were thanked for their actions. Each of the women were awarded with a medal for their bravery and plaques were put in place in a monument of each of the women. The names included those of women that had died fighting for women's suffrage, the women that had relocated to Campre and the women that were still in Majestica, as well as other nations.

Gender in Modern Campre
Gender fluidity has become widely more accepted in Campre with the LGBT community campaigning for equal rights for additional pronouns and legislation's to protect individuals. Individuals began to become more fluid with their gender in the 1960's but hadn't begun campaigning for the introduction of a third gender until the 2000's. In early 2012 then Prime Minister Margaret Beckett legalized the recognition of Non-Binary being classed as the third gender. This was also paired with allowed they/them pronouns to be featured on identification and records as well as the shift away from gender color stereotyping.

Following the recent census within Campre; these are the findings upon gender.

Sexuality
Sexual Orientation became a heavily debated topic in the 60's and 70's due to the AIDS epidemic. Many political officials began to campaign alongside the LGBT community for equal representation and treatment to further avoid more segregation of the nation. This was aided with the criminalization of LGBT propaganda in the media in 1981. Same-Sex marriage and further LGBT rights and protection rights were legalized making Campre one of the leading nations for LGBT rights. Following the recent census within Campre; these are the findings upon sexuality.

Politics
Campre is an executive republic. Thus meaning the Camprean population votes in elections where they elect specific political parties or candidates. These parties/candidates hold the responsibility for the nation and must consider what they believe to be best for the nation. These powers are split between different branches in this case; different ministry positions to ensure a designated individual will work closely regarding issues relating to that ministry position instead of working on a wider array of issues.

Election Process
In Campre; elections are held every 5 years. Each Camprean state vote for the party that they want to be in power within their state. The party to gain the most votes within that state have an individual from their party become the mayor of that state. The party that secures the most states will have their leader elected as the Prime Minister of Campre. In the event of a tie, the states that didn't elect that party will review their votes. If a tie still remains, a joint parliament will be granted. When the prime minister is elected, they will elect not only their cabinet, but also the mayor for each state that they won. Additionally, the leader of opposing political parties will elect their mayors. On each ballot the candidate name and party is listed. When voting, each individual places a number in the boxes of each candidate. 1 being the candidate & party they want to place first thus meaning the candidate becomes the prime minister and the political party is either the sole leading party, or leading the coalition. 2 would relate to the candidate/party they would want to become prime minister or lead in the event their first choice doesn't win the election. This continues on until each candidate & party has received a number. Each number assigns to a point. The point system changes each election depending on which political parties are standing in that specific election. Meaning if 12 candidates & parties were being represented; then voters would have to assign 1-12 on their ballot cards. Once a leader has been elected they will become the prime minister of Campre.
