Shaderian Republic of Dawn

The Shaderian Republic of Dawn is a land inhabited by humans and anthropomorphic animals. It hosts a great number of religions though the predominant religion is that of the Treeminders. As such SRD goes to great lengths to protect their forests and ensure sustainability. SRD is governed by the Council of Eos, which is headed by Premier Shoga.

History
The Shaderian Republic of Dawn is a nation that has now survived 4 worlds, in one form or another. It originally came to be on Map VIII, after a nuclear wasteland was donated to Shaderia by the country of Lexilo. Being so distant from mainland Shaderia SRD developed its own identity.

On Arsinos it acted as the Yang to the original Shaderia's Yin, and together they managed to unite a large number of countries into the Axis of Awesome. Before the destruction of Arsinos, King Solomon, the Dark King of Shaderia, was assassinated and the seeds of discord were planted.

During the evacuation to Barvos the alliance between the west (Shaderia) and east (SRD) began to crumble. With Mayor Moley declaring SRD's independence Mortimer Goth created New Shaderia. And the countries went their separate ways. The long held hostility lead to several conflicts on Barvos and when the time came for nuclear war both sides practically decimated one another.

The Shaderian Republic of Dawn sent a great many people to the banana trams in the hopes of settling Charos, though it is unclear why New Shaderia didn't do the same. Or if they did, it is unclear where they went.

The Shaderian Republic of Dawn uses conscription as a way of training its citizens for times of war. Training starts at a young age, with dedicated classes within schools for children aged 8, 11, 14 and 16. This applies to both boys and girls, though it is not compulsory for girls to complete the final programme. The programmes for the 8 and 11 year olds focus on self-defence, while the programme for 14 and 16 year olds focuses on offence.
