Acelan

!!!WARNING: What you are about to read is considered ancient history! Thus many things must be approximated.!!!

Acelan was a large nation and contributor to the Atomic Collapse ~2.000BFG

Geography
Acelan existed in the Eastern Old World where the Motuesse sea, Lizzaria, and parts of Northern Continent now sit. The majority of the nation is now underwater due to the destructive results of the Lizzarian collapse.

It is impossible to know Acelan's exact borders due to ecological disasters and erosion of time, but historians have been able to piece together a rough estimate of Acelan's territory from ruins and surviving accounts.

Pre Atomic Collapse
Aceland was an industrial megacenter. Producing the vast majority of metal equipment in the world from its massive city spanning factories.

Known Acelandic inventions:
-Self loading pistol

-T.H.O.R orbital rocket system

-Vacuum sealed doors.

-Airships of various types and sizes.

-Auto transport tubes.

-Fision based missiles

-Anti-radiation procedures and equipment.

War To Restore Dictoria
Around 2.050BFG Rien fell to a proto Imperialism and began to annex neighboring states. Originally Acelan was neutral while cutting off munition supplies to Rien. It wasn't till ~2.030BFG when neighboring Christon was attacked that Acelan joined the Alliance to Restore Dictoria.

Acelan focused its entire industrial sector towards war production. Eventually creating the C-Class Nuclear Airships and T.H.O.R Missile Systems.

Atomic Collapse
Around 2.000BFG The Alliance to Restore Dictoria, in a last-ditch attempt at victory, launched their respective T.H.O.R missiles. In response Rien and her allies launched their S.C.N.P's. The world was thrown into nuclear hellfire.

Out of all nations, Acelan had the highest Survival rate due to heavy use of Shield Airships that ferried people above the now ash-filled wasteland. Many of these ships would become major cities.

Gargantia
A common misconception is that the Gargantia was an Acelandic ship. It was based on Acelandic designs, but the ship was manufactured by the Empire of Man ~550BFG.

Popular Culture
Many nations have claimed direct lineage to Acelan, most prominent being Herrich. While it's true the majority of modern humans contain at least 4% Acelandic DNA, any true Acelandic have either died or been dissolved into the genetic pool.

It is theorized that large Acelandic communities existed well into the 3rd Cycle, but were most likely genocided by Lizzarian tribes in the area.

Acelandic culture is popularly depicted as being futuristic in nature, while its true pre-atomic societies were leagues above their post-war counterparts for the majority of modern history. Today, Dictorians live in a much more technological society then was even conceivable before the Collapse.
