'''Ordonnien''' ''(French: Ordonnie)'', officially known as the Great Empire of Ordonnia, is a country located in [[Belvedair Peninsula]]. It is the original creation of [https://meaxis.fr Meaxis] and is the country representation of the [https://ordonnia.com group of the same name]. It is a state based around the concept of [[Order and Protocol]].

== History ==

=== Before the formation of the state ===
''Main article: [[Ordonnia (lore)]]''

Ordonnia was born as a corporation on 9th of May, 1966 ([[MN World#Time system|MNWD]]: 9th of May, 2017) as a '''mining company''' in the region of [[Obriterre]] of a new resource called Siroxite. As the company grew in power, so did its finances.

The company '''expanded into various services''', such as transports, mass distribution, and civil engineering. The most lucrative works that the company have performed however were the exploitation of Siroxite mines across the countries it had influence over.

Eventually, Meaxis came to have '''political ambitions'''. Backed by his incredible amounts of money and the relative good he had brought to the countries that he operated in, he started his own political party, the '''Meaxist Worker's Party'''. Its ideas were of free healthcare and education, political reform, and improved services.

With Meaxis's popularity being already high enough, a considerable of civil servants or elected officials joined the '''Meaxist Worker's Party'''.

=== Consolidation into the Empire ===
Once the Party reached an influence considerable enough over the countries that comprised the now territory of the Mainland, '''soft coups''' happened where the power was taken away from the leader in place, often with no resistance (and sometimes even popular support). The Great Empire of Ordonnia was proclaimed.

The countries often '''retained somewhat of an existence''', often as regions (such as the regions of Žemeknirů), but would also sometimes suffer heavy modifications from the new state, such as anglicization. The major exception being the country of ''Médavel'', which was already ruled by a king in Meaxis's lineage, a simple transfer of power happening with Meaxis being declared the new ''"Roy"''.

The '''Great Consolidation''' started with the city state of now Sixaem, the company town of the Ordonnia Corporation in Médavel. Followed the state of Médavel ''(Médavel-État)'', the ''Bas-Coeur'', and then with the ''High Plains'' (formerly the ''Royaume des Hautes Plaines'')''.'' Various other states were peacefully implemented and often had their culture diminished.

The only state to pose a problem to the Great Consolidation was ''Žemeknirů'', as its rich culture and folklore was in complete opposition with the nature of the Empire. An accord was later found where ''Žemeknirů'' would not suffer any assimiliation other than being now administered by the Empire.

=== Present day ===
As the Consolidation went in almost complete peace due to widespread popular support, the Empire started with a very advantageous financial situation, where it would also be the '''main company within itself'''. However, as to avoid turning into a corpocracy that would become inefficient in its functioning, the country was split into '''three bodie'''s:

* '''The Office of the ''Roy''''', which is an office held by Meaxis and a hereditary power of rule over Médavel. It is mostly ceremonial.
* '''The ''Central Administration''''', which is the executive, legislative and judicial power concatenated as one. Indeed, the ''Empire'' does not have any seperation between its powers. The C.A. is also held by Meaxis as the ''Head of Administration''. Each province has its own Central Administration.
* '''The ''Company''''', or in common lingo ''"Ordonnia"'', which is the corporation that the Empire was created from. While on paper they are supposed to stay seperate, often the Company will be contracted to fullfill missions of the ''Administration''.

== Government ==
The Empire's Central Administration is split into '''"Offices"''' that each serve a purpose, similar to ministries.

=== Office of Culture, Sports, and Entertainement ===
The '''Office of Culture, Sports, and Entertainement''' is responsible for entertaining citizens of the Empire and for the upkeeping of culture, of sports activities, and of events. It is directed by '''VHAO Mr. John Buté'''.

=== Office of Order ===
The Office of Order is the office responsible for the publishing of '''information''' and for the '''censorship''' of it. It ensures the correct application of [[Order and Protocol]] in the Empire. It is directed by VHAO '''Mr. Abon GÉRINVU'''.

=== Office of Progress ===
The '''Office of Progress''' is the office responsible for employment, for labor, and for scientific developement. It also is the office responsible for the Administration's operation of the CFFO SdA, which is the state holding for [[Obrie-Obfin|Obrie-Obfin SA]].

== Provinces & Regions ==
The empire is comprised of '''three bodies''', the Meaxist Mainland, the ''Autonomous Province of Cétrogran (A.P.O. Cétrogran)'' and the ''Autonomous Province of Nouvelle-Sancy (A.P.O. Nouvelle-Sancy)''. Within these provinces, further subdivisions exist: they are the "provinces".

=== The Mainland ===
The Mainland is the main part of Ordonnia. It comprises the economic centers of Ordonnia, such as ''C.C.O. Sixaem'', or Médavel.

==== Bas-Coeur ====
''Main article: [[Bas-Coeur]]''

The province of Bas-Coeur is at the south east of the C.C.O. Sixaem. It features the city of ''Réclavel'', and it is the home to [[Obriměst]] and to the [[Obrie-Obfin International Facility]].

==== C.C.O. Sixaem ====
''Main article: [[C.C.O. Sixaem]]''

The ''Capital City of Sixaem'', shortened as ''C.C.O.'' in official writing, is the economic center of the Empire. It is not its historic center however and is a modern city, built by the Corporation before the Great Consolidation.

Its notable monuments are '''The MeaxisNetwork Headquarters''', '''Sixaem Central''', and the '''Obrie-Obfin International Facility''' on its outskirts.

==== Isle de l'Espérance ====
''Main article: [[Isle de l'Espérance]]''

The ''Isle de l'Espérance'' ("Island of the Hope", with "Island" written in old French) is an island on the east coast of the Mainland that serves as a vacation resort and as the main shipping port with communication with Cétrogran and Nouvelle-Sancy.

It is considered to be of the mainland, but is not connected to the Mainland, except by the ''Bridge of L'Éspérance'' which connects back to Bas-Coeur.

==== Médavel-État ====
''Main article:'' ''[[Médavel-État]]''[[File:Seal of Le Roy.png|thumb|142x142px|The ''Grand Blason du Roy'', serving as the seal for the Roy of Médavel.]]
The State of Médavel (or ''Médavel-État)'' is the historic city of Ordonnia. It holds rich culture and tradition, with the Head of the State being the ''Roy'' which holds all and supreme power before God per the former country's constitution.

Meaxis himself comes from the ''Roy''al family of Médavel, and it is widely believed that Médavel's previous ''Roy'' was under the control of Meaxis. As the consolidation happened, the ''Roy'' abdicated, and gave power to Meaxis.

Its capital is the city of Médavel, which is a city dating back thousands of years.

==== Terre-Libre ====
''Main article: [[Terre-Libre]]''

Terre-Libre is a province on the west of Orodnnien. It was formerly a communist and hedonistic state that made secession from Médavel in the middle of the XXth century. It was reconsolidated into the Empire around 15 years later and is today a minor province of the Empire.

=== A.P.O. Cétrogran ===
''Main article: [[A.P.O. Cétrogran]]''

At an unknown date after the Consolidation, the Empire acquired territory on what used to be Sancy island. That territory came to be known as ''Cétrogran'', a stretch of land seperated of the rest of the island by the ''Mur des Trente Mètres'' (Wall of the Thirty Meters). It is unknown what is happening in ''Cétrogran'' but it is frequently referenced as a "land of new opportunities".

It is where Leafy Soda and its family of products are fabricated.

=== A.P.O. Nouvelle-Sancy ===
''Main article: [[A.P.O. Nouvelle-Sancy]]''

Later, after Sancy was dissolved, the Empire acquired more land that was set as an autonomous province ("Province Autonome de Nouvelle-Sancy"). However, that land is partially left in abandon by the Central Administration, as it does not have any valuable resources (except its people which are actively being sent to ''Cétrogran'').
