UNITED STATES - The Cathar United States of Byzantium and Carpathia

[Narvait]

What if the land of free and home of brave was created in Medieval Times?
What if it was done by the free and brave steppe Magyar horde on the ruins of Eastern Rome?

Welcome to this new a bit hypocritical AAR featuring protectors of democracy and human rights in the very heart of Medieval Era. The Cathar United States of Byzantium and Carpathia.

Possible Chapters:
1. Magyfestation of Destiny - How Magyar free and brave men settled wild areas South of the Black Sea.
2. The founding fathers and early days - How new Cathar Republic fights with challenges near and far to consolidate realm
3. The protectors of Democracy - ... not so far yet, but of course democracy and human rights shall be exported outside the United States.

Disclaimers:
I managed to finish Livonian AAR, but no promises here

 

[Narvait]

But before we start, the political update of the World 936.

Cathar United States of Byzantium and Carpathia


Administration of Mr Arpad Arpad rules the nation in difficult times. To the North of United States we have oppressive regimes of Sarkel, Rus, Poland, Lithuania. Further North human rights situation is even worse - numerous cases were reported of men and women being sacrificed to Gods by evil tyrants.
To the West a religious fanatical sect lead by Roman Pope is established in Vatican. Regimes of Italy, East Francia and Brittain openly support the Papacy.
To the South there are several religious dictatorships directly or indirectly lead by Sunni Caliph.
Only The Republic of Venice is democratic, although their stance on civil rights and religious liberties wishes for better. They support the Papacy.

 

[Mr. Capiatlist]

I'm confused, but in a good way. In the way that makes me watch movies on SyFy.

 

[KolyFrog]

Oh Yeah! Murica! .... er I meant Pathia!

 

[TheAnguishedOne]

Um... Well, this is different... What did you do to do this?

 

[Narvait]

Um... Well, this is different... What did you do to do this?

I will cover in the first chapter
1. Magyfestation of Destiny - How Magyar free and brave men settled wild areas South of the Black Sea.

 

[Teutonic King]

Subbed

 

[MiasmicMoose]

Germany's got all the eagles, you can't be free without them! WAR!

 

[jebezt2]

A sayyid, cathar, hungarian, republican roman "empire" ?

[Narvait]

Germany's got all the eagles, you can't be free without them! WAR!

East Francia people are oppressed by a dictator who openly supports Papacy's religious extremists...
It is only a matter of time and/or tools we gonna apply to this sensitive issue.

 

[The Number 9]

I will follow this one. It might be interesting.

 

[MrWilis]

Freedom is the Only Way Forward! For Basileus, God(s), and the Imperium!

 

[SFSLovenought]

Subscribed with great anticipation!

MAGYFEST DESTINY - The Magyar Beginnings

The brave and free Magyars of North Sea Steppe had a model of society far superior to despotic and dictatorial soccial structures to the South.
Great phylosopher and humanist Mr Almos Arpad summarized this view in few sentences:
Magyar model of equal opportunities is the only true and fair system for mankind
Magyar mission is to bring this model further South and populate lands held by oppressive regimes of Byzantium and Bulgaria
Success is irresistible

For this mission all young and capable Magyar tribal men were raised and went South. They were promissed all the land they can take.

The very first target was Pannonia then held by Bolgarsko Clan. Pannonian population, freedom loving Avars were subjected to the criminal Bulgar regime. Bulgarian state was brutal, oppressive. Recorded cases of violated basic human rights were numerous.
According to Chancellor's Mr Lowborn's report "...there is enough evidence to describe Bulgarian state as nothing short of feudal with very little doubt".

It was Magyar duty to liberate Avars. Three different informative campaigns were funded by Magyar government - raising patriotic zeal (raise zeal), educational campaign on supremacy of freedom (build legend) and campaign to raise military awareness (train army). From reports we can find that messages were passed through the Horse Messenger channel mainly.

Leader Almos Arpad prepared his nation to war.

Alright... that explains a little... Just about thirty more questions...

MAGYFEST DESTINY - The Early Expansion



Like unstoppable avalanche Magyars arrived to set free the oppressed. They rode on horses of democracy, they shoot the arrows of liberty and left horse apples of human rights after themselves.

Bulgarian Pannonia was liberated on 868.
Alania was set free on 869.
Georgian provinces joined the democratic side 871.

Even death of the great Almos The Victorious would not stop the progress, the destiny was irresistable. Almos’s son Arpad got elected and would be known as Arpad The Victorious soon after.

Crimea 872, Kiev 875, Armenia 876, Wallachia 878, Moravian Pannonia 880, they joined like a pearls in a necklace of freedom. What a great feeling that was! A small pearl necklace for Arpad, a big pearl necklace for mankind.
Wars never stopped, more and more new recruits volunteered to help the prestigous Magyaria to build the Castle of Future.

Balaton was next, and Slavic Carpathian chiefdoms!

We will get there. Sooner or later.

P.s.
on a bit sad note, when I started it, I did not do screenshots, so now until I get to 935 I can only go to old save files and get pics from there....

 

[TheAnguishedOne]

You're expanding so fast... Also, is this AAR just going to cover where you are now, or will you continue on with it? I want to see how far this insanity can go...

Trib..., sorry, Democratic Invasion is part of the reason, other part is accumulative trib.., sorry, freedom armies.

It will definately cover until current state in smaller or bigger jumps.

And of course in theory the most fun is supposed to happen onwards but is gonna be difficult, without tribal army (per 500 prestige) or event troop spams (zealots, etc).
The big and maybe impossible goal is to spread democracy and turn the world into independent Cathar republics under local administration.

MAGYFEST DESTINY - Administrative Reforms



The fast expansion came with new demands and requirements. Oh, glorious Terebovl, the mother of freedom, your time as administrative capital has gone. But you shall always stay in our hearts as a beginning of the journey.
To address new needs of the state White Steppe House was moved into Lower Dniepr province. Lower Dniepr had many outstanding qualities. It was coastal province with access to Black Sea. It was located in the centr of the nation.

The council passed investment bill to build up infrastructure for the new capital and facilitate trade. As a result of 4 stage 7 years upgrade project Large Market City was raised in the banks of Dniepr.
