Krome (2051-2125) was a nation located in the region of central Kafrica, founded in 2051 by Rachel Kerman after the fall of Lovatica. It rose to regional relevance and with the help of allies could extend its reach across the globe. This reach drove the ego of the leader to creating a state which became hated by many. This hate drove its downfall starting in 2065. The 2100s showed a slight upturn in Kroman fortunes however in 2125 it was struck by a coalition war and promptly fell into anarchy and collapsed.
Etymology
It is unknown where the word Krome came from, however it is most likely something that originated in the mind of Rachel Kerman.
Geography
Krome's territory consists of a mainland on the continent of Kafrica, as well as a large island named Diosca, which houses the capital city of the same name, and an even larger island named Nautilus, located on the eastern side of the Alecton Straits at the inlet to the central sea, almost on the exact opposite side of the planet from the rest of the nation. The mainland includes a somewhat mountainous region in the south, covering the provinces of Thiar, Zambilia, northern Rinn, and southern Teorann with foothills extending into Claì. A large plain also covers northern Teorann and Ambargo up to Dapper, and is broken up by many woodlands and forests the farther inland you go. This geography is also present in southern Rinn and North Bal.
Climate
The Kroman climate varied widely with latitude and elevation. The southern half of the country is very temperate, with only mild temperature variations between seasons, although the mountainous regions tend to be colder due to their higher elevation. The northern half has a higher seasonal temperature difference owing to it's higher latitude, and is generally colder as a whole than the south. In the north, large grasslands are broken up by many woodlands ==== Congress ==== Congress is organised into two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each house is equal in power to the other, but owing to size, individual senators are more powerful than individual representatives, and thus the Senate is considered more prestigious. The House of Representatives is made up of 228 Representatives, each representing 100,000 Kerbals.
Biodiversity
Urban Areas
Most of the infrastructure of Krome consists of tall, slender towers, or groups of such towers in the case of Diosca, known as Citadels, owing to the culture of minimal environmental impact. These Citadels are self-contained and eco-friendly, having almost no effect on the environment aside from the actual patch of ground on which they sit. Citadels are usually surrounded by an area of suburban neighborhood, supported by the facilities of the Citadel. The neighborhoods also provide supplemental solar energy for the Citadel via their solar roofs, which transmit any excess energy to the Citadel itself. Transportation infrastructure consists mainly of runways, as well as control towers, however these are part of a Citadel whenever possible. Roads also exist, but they are usually limited to smaller, intra-city roads connecting houses and neighborhoods. Smaller communities that are independent from a Citadel also exist, and are very similar to a Citadel-based city in that they have commercial and minor industrial areas in the center and are surrounded by a residential area. However, in recent years, several private firms have begun construction of tollways between cities, mostly following the routes of old Lovatican infrastructure left over from before the Fall of Lovatica.
Politics
Government
The national government consisted of three branches, a Bicameral legislature, an Executive branch, and a Judiciary branch. The Legislature, known as Congress, was divided into two houses of equal power. The Senate was made up of three representatives from each region, and the House of Representatives was based on congressional districts determined by population. Both houses were presided over by the Leader of Congress, who was also second in line to the Presidency. The Executive Branch was headed by the President, who also functioned as Head of State, and was elected to a ten year term, with no term limits. The first president, who served for almost 40 years, was Rachel Kerman, elected in 2051 at the founding of the Republic, and reelected for a further three terms, before being assassinated by Grand Admiral Fournloke of Strelka. Aside from the President, the Executive branch consisted of a Vice President and a Cabinet made up of Secretaries, who were each in charge of a different area of policy, such as agriculture, science, technology, space travel, and defense, among other things. The government tended to take a non-interventionist approach on most economic issues, instead letting market forces correct any problems naturally. On social issues, however, the government has pressed for the absolute equality of all citizens, and regularly took measures to ensure all citizens are treated fairly.
Congress
Congress was organized into two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each house was equal in power to the other, but owing to size, individual senators were more powerful than individual representatives, and thus the Senate was considered more prestigious. The House of Representatives was made up of 228 Representatives, each representing 100,000 Kerbals.
Leader of Congress
Congress as a whole was presided over by the Leader of Congress, who was elected by the people for a 5 year term. The Leader of Congress was the only kerbal to hold a vote in both the house and senate, and was thus one of the most powerful offices in Krome, second only to the President, and in fact was first in the presidential line of succession, becoming the acting President if the sitting president was killed or otherwise incapacitated.
Subdivisions
Krome had a total of 12 provinces, which, in order of population, are;
- Diosca (special administrative area)
- Bown
- Rinn
- Ambargo
- Teorann
- Chen
- Dapper
- Nagaya
- Claì
- Bal
- Thiar
- Zambilia
In addition to official ownership of the autonomous overseas territory of Nautilus, which as of 2115 had successfully filed for independence with the support of Solani and UIF oversight.
Foreign Relations
The Republic of Krome shared borders with numerous states, including the Solani Commonwealth, New Grestin States, Kingdom of Strelka and the Comerian Federation. Characterized in two phases where Krome was respected in its earlier years, however in its later years its reputation was scornful. Krome thus had a major shift in its relations, the spark being the 2065 conspiracy.
UKP
The Republic of Krome was one of the founding members of the United Kafrican Pact, which was born out of a secret alliance between Krome and New Grestin, which then expanded to include Vieno, the Northern Kombined States, and the Republic of Wo', before being revealed to the world as part of a massive data leak in the year 2058. After less than two years, however, relationships with fellow UKP members soured, and Kongress made the decision to leave UKP in early 2060, and focus all efforts on the Joolian Coalition. As a result of Krome leaving UKP, the alliance became completely dominated by Grestin, and collapsed after the NKS-Karthax affair in 2065.
Joolian Coalition
In the year 2059, Krome was contacted by the Solari Federation with a proposal for joint operations in the Jool system, which quickly blossomed into a new alliance between Solaria, Krome, the Republic of Basil, the Mechani Union, and later, the Combined States of Aquaria. Before colonization efforts could begin, however, miscommunication between the Coalition government and Krome resulted in increased animosity toward Krome from Aquaria and Basil, which, combined with a speechwriter's mischaracterization of Solaria as a hive mind in a speech delivered by Rachel Kerman, resulted in Krome's demotion to associate member in 2065. Further disloyalty at the negotiating table caused the rift between Krome and the rest of JCS to grow, culminating in Krome being expelled from the JCS on less than amicable terms in 2067.
KATO
In the year 2061, after the purchase of Comer from Vieno, New Grestin threatened to invade and occupy the small region. In response, a military buildup by both sides began to occur. KATO, noticing the buildup and fearing a war which would likely spill across their borders, decided to accept Krome as an affiliate member, and in mid 2061, Krome officially joined the Kolus Allied Treaty Organization. Kroman forces were soon joined by their newfound KATO allies, and New Grestin quickly capitulated, signing the Treaty of Comer at the end of 2061, forcing the Demilitarization of Grestin, which, along with the Foxburg Crisis of 2064, cemented Krome's place within KATO. However, only a year later, after the acquisition of Norland from NMC, and numerous differences between Krome and the other members of KATO, it was decided by both parties that maintaining associate status was of no benefit to either, and Krome left KATO in late 2065.
UKP 2
Main Article: United Kafrican Pact
After generally staying away from alliances for a few years, and the collapse of the first United Kafrican Pact, Congress decided to give creating a new Kafrican alliance another try. Along with Grestin, Eradica, NKS, and Vieno, a new UKP was created in the year 2069, this time with safeguards to prevent what occurred in the previous alliance. The new alliance was constantly growing, and was the closest attempt to a peaceful unification of Kafrica.
Demographics
Languages and Culture
The Republic of Krome primarily spoke Kroman, being its official language, however some regions would release official documentation in Celrapani.
Education
The Education system in Krome was deemed by many a propaganda system, with emphasis on how free the country was, without fair comparison to other nations at the time.
Religion
There was no state religion in the republic of Krome, however unofficially it was seen as a cultist leader, Rachel Kerman.
Military
Air Force
The majority of the air force was made up of imported Solani aircraft. The Department of Defense's insistence that the air force be made up of craft superior to those of Krome's enemies, and the lack of industrial or technological prowess meant that Kroman Aircraft were mostly imports or modified imports.
Army
Kroman military equipment was a mix of imported equipment and domestic designs. Most imported designs were sourced from Krome's allies in the Solani Commonwealth and Vocavian Federation, as well as heavily upgraded and modernized version of Zokesian ground vehicles.
From the 2090s onwards, the majority of Kroman ground forces were built inhouse, and were somewhat revolutionary in their own right. With the Samwell using High Explosive rounds to defeat the KAFSOC K101000 and the Samwell S2200 being one of the first Tanks to comprise of multiple layers of armor.
The majority of the Kroman Navy was made up of Vocavian designed ships that had been heavily upgraded for Kroman use. While the Thunderchief-class KSS Endurance supercarrier had seen little modification to it's original design, the mainline Falcon-class Destroyer that made up the bulk of the Kroman surface fleet had been heavily modified, to the point where almost no component had been left unchanged.

Transport
Long-distance transport was mainly accomplished by air, using efficient but subsonic aircraft, as well as VTOL craft in remote, or rugged areas. Local travel was almost always accomplished by use of electric vehicles, which were seen almost everywhere in Krome. The quality of local road systems varied by the economic status and type of government in the area, but compared to most nations, the roads were, according to the propaganda of the time, well maintained. there were even some privately built inter-city and inter-regional highways present, even though most travel was by air.
Energy and Infrastructure
The Republic's energy needs were entirely electrical, having phased out fossil fuels many years previous under the Lovatica regime. Power was provided through mostly different forms of nuclear power, such as fusion and some fission for large scale power generation, as well as RTGs and Betavoltaics for smaller applications. Outside of nuclear power, solar cells were also used in areas where nuclear reactors were deemed to be impractical and/or difficult to construct.
The distribution of energy types is as follows:
- Conventional Fusion 69.8%
- Solar 17.4%
- Fission (Molten Salt Reactor) 8.1%
- Other 4.7%
Citadels and most smaller settlements were linked together by ultra-high-voltage superconducting cables in order to share electrical power, so that not all citadel reactors needed to be online at the same time. the reactor in each citadel was, according to government documentation, capable of powering a large portion of the country for a long period, therefore the citadel reactors rotated operation in order to conserve fuel.
Trade
Kroman trade was majority military imports, however it exported its own brand of imperialism by building multiple Citadels globally.
