Baydor is located in western Andolia, bordering Aprezye in the south, Dolfikland in the east, the Dolfik sea in the east and West Baydor in the west. Most of the nation is found on the north lorbic low lands with a mostly temperate climate. Major cities in Baydor include Portstone, Kasculava, Donzig, Kanggrad, Kowlin,Gradberg.
History
The first settlers arrived in modern day Baydor from Mlorba in 30000bc but first real settlement came form immigration from the northern Dolfikland's. By the early 1900's Baydor had unified as the Grand Duchy of Baydor ruled over by the Dolfik crown, this rule by a foreign power caused the creation of BLA (Bayor Liberation army) as well as the slightly socialist LRA (lorbic republican army). In 1918 the great war broke out and Baydor due to it strategic position played an important role as Dolfikland used Baydor to launch its invasion of Anderia. As the war became more of a stalemate and support for the war was began to fade the BLA and LRA began to increase in popularity. The LRA was most popular in the West Baydor where as the BLA where more popular in the north due to there support of prince Leopold. In 1926 the allies launched one of the largest amphibious assault's in history with the invasion of west Baydor. The Allies had coordinated there attack with the LRA who had sabotaged local defences before the landing's. The Baydorian and Dolfik army tried to contain the beach head but they soon Brooke out and had liberated West Baydor. This was a disaster and had dashed any hope for Dolfikland's victory in the war, it was during this last year of the war where some of the largest battles of the war took place as tanks maneuvered across the north lorbic low lands. In late 1927 the union of Baydor was formed but due to members of the norther aristocracy disliking the egalitarian views from the west as well as disagreements between the BLA and LRA, the union failed and split up into the Republic of West Baydor and the Commonwealth of Baydor by 1928. The commonwealth in theory was a democracy but most the power was in the hands of the Noble houses. This new nation was very unstable due to issues between the ethnically lorbic nobles and ethnically Dolfik onces, as well as this radical socialist who use to be members in the LRA where preparing for a socialist revolt. 1930 the revolt happened and after 3 months of bloody fighting the socialist republic of Baydor was formed. However this republic was ultimately doomed due to defeats at the hand of Dolfikland in border disputes as well as a growing famine. Prince Leopold 2nd who was critical of the socialist manged to unite the Baydorian and the Dolfik nobles to help defeat a common enemy, further more Leopold was already popular with members of the BLA and the peasants. In June 1932 a series of riots in the major cities began and the BLA lead by Leopold began it's counter revolution and eventually they stormed the capital building in Portstone, this lead to the communist forces declaring the end of the Socialist Peoples Republic of Baydor. After the end of the communist regime the 2nd Commonwealth of Baydor was set up with Prince Leopold being elected prime minister. Eventually after a successful referendum to restore the monarchy Prime Minister Prince Leopold became King Leopold 2nd. King Leopold would remain Prime minister till he died in 1956. Leopold's rein is seen as time of peace and independence form Dolfikland, because of this people in Baydor today often glories this period by calling it a golden era. Despite this reputation the nation in this period of time was still recovering from the war and poverty was still a big issue. Massive instability Followed the death of King Leopold 2nd as ethnic tensions what Leopold had relived had sparked up again with in the nobility. While this was happening, the Dolfikland economic miracle was in full swing, because Baydors despite economic situation as well as members in the goverment wanting to use Dolfikland to increases there influence, Baydor ended up joining the Meanwealth ( a Dolfik controlled economic block). Baydor joining the Mean wealth in the 60's was seen by some people as a return of Dolfikland's imperialism and because of this the LRA and BLA returned and began to take part in terrorist activities. The LRA soon became more influential than the BLA due to working with anti-Dolfik terror groups in Suroig as well as getting support from communist Anderia who wanted to explort the revolution. The BLA and the LRA worked to gather but as of the late 70's and 80's they became enemies and they would some times work with the goverment and Dolfikland to fight one another. In the 90's the national league formed as a mostly far right group who would fight members of the LRA, due to believing that the BLA was not doing enough to counter communism most members of the BLA joined the league. This all accumulated in the 2006 battle of Dansberg when communist LRA members declared a socialist republic, in response the league took up arms and battled the communist, whilst this happened the government gave weapons to the league. After the battle anti-Dolfik violence began to die down and a period of relative peace began. In 2009 senior members of the league decided to run in politics' as so created there own political party, the Nationalist Workers party (the NWP). The NWP still had ties with the league and as a result members of the league would attack anti NWP politicians. In 2021 the NWP candidate Jacob Hutman became prime minister.
