Dimasalang


The Integrated Communities of Dimaslang (generally called Dimasalang) is an federation located within the New Warsaw Pact. The country is bordered by Damanucus on the north, The People's Republic of Laywenrania on the south, and surrounded by the Catrucic Ocean. Dimaslang covers 300,000 km² and, as of the 2/13/16 Census, has 1.36 billion constituents. Dimasalang is a federation composed of 5 states and an autonomous district.

Dimasalang was discovered in 1565 by Filipino explorer, Francisco Magallanes, in a last ditch effort so save his failing expedition. It then became a colony of the Philippines and achieved Provincial status in 1898, it was subsequently colonized by Spanish colonial forces at 1907. Dimasalang became independent from Spain in 1944 after the dissolution of the colonial power and subsequently was recognized as an sovereign state, Cabalabaan; in 2015 it was reorganized as Dimasalang amid massive charter and constitutional amendments.

Etymology
Dimaslang’s name traces its origins from the ancient specie of the Mulawin tree (Vitex parviflora damasalan) native endemic only within the northern forests of Dimasalang. The trees are the only known habitat of the Yellow-bellied Albatross, also known to be endemic within the country, owing to the height of the tree that gives sufficient clearance for the bird to fly.

Citizens of Dimasalang are called Damasans; though if referring to an individual or a group of the same gender, Damaso (Male) and Damasa (Female) are employed.

History
Prehistory
The femur of the Dupinga Man, reliably dated by uranium-series dating to 67,000 years ago is the oldest human remains found in the archipelago to date. This distinction previously belongs to the Wanfers Man of Startop Is., carbon-dated to around 24,000 years ago. The Ilocanos were also among the archipelago's earliest inhabitants, but their first settlement in Dimasalang has not been reliably dated.

There are several opposing theories regarding the origins of ancient Damasans. The most widely accepted based on linguistic and archeological evidence, is the Laywenrania landbridge, which hypothesizes that Afrosidiacs from Laywenrania, who were themselves descended from the neolithic civilizations of the Catruric Ocean such as the Australien culture, began migrating to Dimasalang around 4000 BCE, displacing earlier arrivals.

By 1000 BCE the inhabitants of the archipelago had developed into four kinds of social groups: hunter-gatherer tribes, warrior societies, highland plutocracies, and maritime harbor principalities.

Filipino Colonization
In 1565, Filipino explorer Francisco Magallanes arrived in the Philippines and claimed the islands for the Philippines. Colonization began when President Miguel Legazpi signed the Colony Act of 1593 that started the colonization process in Dimasalang with the first Filipino settlement formed at Rejkyavik Island; same island was then named as the capital of the Filipino colony.

The Filipino rule expanded to cover the tribes and settlements now within modern-day Candaba, Pinatubo and Nueva Ecija. This expansion contributed significantly to bringing political unity to the fragmented states of the archipelago. From 1565 to 1821, Dimasalang was governed as a territory of the Republic of the Philippines and then was administered directly at Rejkyavik itself after the First Philippine Civil War. The Sampaloc galleons and its large naval fleet linking Rejkyavik to Manila, traveled three times a month, between the 16th and 19th centuries.Trade introduced foodstuff such as corn, potatoes, chocolate and pecans from other Philippine colonial powers such as Indonesia and Australia. New towns were created and Babaylans (Filipino volunteer teachers) educated and trained most of the lowland inhabitants to ranks of scientists, engineers, lawyers and doctors. This led to the creation of general education and specialization schools, universities, hospitals and more that was built on Earthquake Baroque architectural style. The Filipinos decreed the introduction of free public schooling in 1593, and efforts in mass public education came to fruition on 1615. As a result of these policies the Damasan population increased exponentially.

During its rule, the Filipinos quelled various indigenous revolts. There were several external military challenges from other colonial powers but these were successfully fought-off. Nevertheless, the Wacom forces occupied Rejkyavik from 1761 to 1821 in an extension of the fighting of the Fifty Year War. However, Filipino rule was restored following the 1822 Treaty of Putramashaaya.

In the 19th century, Damasan ports opened to world trade and shifts started occurring within the Damsan society. Many Filipinos born in Dimasalang (macchiatos) and those of mixed ancestry (platitoz) became wealthy and an influx of Latin American settlers opened up government positions traditionally held by Filipinos born in the archipelagic state (insulares). The ideals of provincehood also began to spread through the islands. Macchiatos dissatisfaction resulted in the 1872 Talavera Mutiny that was a precursor to the provincehood of Dimasalang.

Provincehood sentiments were stoked in 1859 after three scientists—Maricris Galangala, Jason Buigerra, and Policarpio Zacharias (collectively known as Gomburza)—were accused of sedition by colonial authorities and executed. This would inspire a propaganda movement in the Dimasalang, organized by Marcelito X. dela Presca, Juan Ricardo, and Maarimar Dulce, lobbying for political reforms in the Philippines. Ricardo was eventually executed on December 30, 1896, on charges of rebellion. As attempts at reform met with resistance, Anda Balapasito in 1892 established the secret society called the Karapatan, who sought independence from the Philippines through armed revolt.

Balapastio and the Karapatan started the Talavera Mutiny in 1872. A faction of the Karapatan, the Mayamanan of Pampangan province, eventually came to challenge Balapastio's position as the leader of the group and Emilito Aguilardo took over, with a radical switch of ideology from independence to full integration (provincehood). In 1898, the colony achieved full rights for provincehood after the Second Philippine Civil War. Aguilardo declared the Damasan ascension to provincehood in Talavera, Nueva Ecija on June 12, 1898, and the Province of Dimasalang was established in the Rejkyavik Capitol in the following year.
