Octanimia, offically the Octanimian Transplanetary Federation and formerly known as Australia are the main antagonists of the alternate history webseries Kaiserswelt. They are an authoritarian federal state that emerged after a radicalized and expansionalist Australian government merged with an Indonesian rump state. It seeks to conquer the entire world and bring their ideology to total dominance, though they were eventually kicked off of Earth and exiled to the other planets of the solar system, and later exiled even further, existing as an entity with just a few bases on some moons until they founded a new Octanimian state on an Earth-like planet. They eventually nearly conquered Earth again but were driven out by a now unified world government, which soon tracked down the Octanimian home planet and destroyed them once and for all.
History[]
Foundation[]
The foundations of Octanimia were laid with the Australian Revolution, which saw the overthrow of the democratic Australian Federation and it's replacement with the National Republic of Greater Australia, which was quickly reorganized into the Federation of Greater Australia, thus beginning a period of major expansion and growth for the now radicalized and increasingly authoritarian state. In 2074, the Federation merged with an Indonesian government run-rump state, thus forming the Octanimian Federation.
Conquest of the World[]
When another global conflict broke out, Octanimia initally remained neutral, but later seized the opportunity to seize what remained of Southeast Asia, and then more than half of China, while the Eurasia seized the rest. When Eurasia began to collapse, Octanimia rushed in and seized most of the territory, this unifying all of Europe and Asia under one banner. It then went on to conquer Africa, which alerted the nations of the Americas, causing them to unify into a superstate to combat the Octanimians, though it was futile and the Americas soon fell alongside their extraterrestrial colonies.
The Dark Ages[]
Having united all of Earth and expanded into all of the former global extraterrestrial colonies, the state was reorganized once more into the Octanimian Transplanetary Federation, which ruled much of the Solar System with an iron fist, ushering in a period known as the Dark Ages. For decades, they oppressed the entire world with their borderline Orwellian tactics, which eventually lead to the Human Civil War, in which a fragmented coalition fought to drive the Octanimian leadership off of Earth and restore their nations to independence. They were largely successful in driving them off earth, and the Octanimian government was exiled into space, with a restored Australian Federation taking it's place.
