Kingdom of D'Ourume

D'Ourume (D'Ourumean: Dorunëë); Doits: Iurume; Sriba: Rumedior, officially the Kingdom of D'Ourume, is a country in Western Aurostis. It is bordered by the Jean Bay to the west, the Protectorate of Labradoria and the Protectorate of Nunatsuak to the east, the Iroqois No Man's Land to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It covers an area of 30,689 km2 (11,849 sq mi) and has a population of more than 9.5 million, making it the most densely populated country in North America and the 17th most densely populated country in the Americas, with a density of 376 per square kilometre (970/sq mi). The capital and largest city is Oro City; other major cities are Mine City, Oreville d'este, Chateau, and Bote al Mar.

D'Ourume is a sovereign state and a unitary constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. Its subdivisions are structured on both regional and linguistic grounds. It is divided into five states: the Capitol State (Oro City) consisting of mainly D'Ourumeans, the Mining State (Mine City) consisting of a genuine mix between Doits people and D'Ourumen people, the Ore State (Oreville d'este) consisting of purely D'Ourumean people, the Chateau State (Chateau Village) consisting of a genuine mix between D'Ourumean people and Sriba people, and the Bote State (Bote al Mar) consisting mostly of D'Ourumean people with some Sriba people. Oro City is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of GDP per capita.

D'Ourume was named after the French word for Gold, D'or. The word Royaume was added at the end, while cutting some letters out.

History
The land in which D'Ourume is now situated on was once a trade city that was constantly raided by pirates. The trade city was constantly attacked for their resource of gold and silver, a target for pirates. For over a millenia, pirates raided the gold cities.

Eventually, a large empire from the inland conquered vast swaths of what is now D'Ourumean land. The Empire of Doitsland finally conquered the city and made it it's capital and seat of power. The Doits people were oppressive to the indigenous Oro people. Many were locked up in concentration mining camps while some were forced to assimilate with the Doits people. The Doitsland government eliminated anyone who seemed like an opponent, including the pirates. The Great Pirate Genocide of 21 BDI marked the end of the pirate age and the beginning of the Doits Age.

In 1 BDI, an underground organization plotted to reclaim Oro CIty in the name of the Oro people. Their leader, Jean, rallied a large number of Oro people in the Main Plaza to protest Doitsland taxes. The event escalated and soon enough, Oro people were fighting a number of skirmishes in Oro City. To prevent any harm to the Doitsland government and royal family, they fled to the Mining State. The rebellion succeeded but at the cost of many lives, Doits and Oro people.

After reclaiming Oro City, Jean declared Oro City an independent nation named Orume. However, he wanted to expand the new nation into the Oro people-populated regions. After embarking on a year-long expedition to unite the Oro states, the Independence Council crowned Jean the king of the new state known as D'Ourume. After the coronation, Doitsland officially recognized the new kingdom and withdrew from their western coastal lands, leaving a number of No-Man's land. The D'Ourumean army quickly surged through, conquering the lands and claiming them for King Jean.

During the time between 0 ADI and 22 ADI, the nation went under heavy modernization reforms. Although the nation was still underdeveloped due to lack of communication, Oro City became a large and modern city through gold trade. Eventually, the city grew to be so rich that a new pirate generation arose to claim the treasures. The New Pirates ambushed Oro City, forcing King Jean III to send his son, Jean-Alphonse, to the Internet to seek help.

After acquiring some new allies, D'Ourume became affiliated in the Azure Alliance after the Discordian conflict. Although D'Ourume didn't participate in the various conflicts, they did sent limited diplomatic support to the Internet. Following the signing of the Treaty, the government of D'Ourume grew paranoid that a similar treaty would be imposed on D'Ourume. To stop this, a Treaty of Isolation was drafted and was ratified by Discordian, Alpian, and Internetian diplomats. Although the treaty of Isolation was meant to isolate the nation from the world, people from other nations were still allowed to come and settle down. During this time, D'Ourume was admitted as the 18th United Discords Nation-State.

Soon after the Treaty of Isolation was put into effect, a Grootist uprising led by Chief Groot IV destroyed much of Oro City and killed the King and Queen of D'Ourume. The Crown Prince of D'Ourume was in Internetia at the time and journeyed back to take the throne. After doing so, Jean-Alphonse instigated a purge on all Grootists and supposed collaborators.

After two weeks into the reign of King Jean-Alphonse I, the deadly Gisen-21 Virus spread to D'Ourume. The virus effectively put everything on lockdown for 5 days before a vaccine was created by an Ungavan doctor. However, the doctor was trapped in Grootist-held territory and the vaccine was shipped through an underground operation.

Religion
The official religion of D'Ourume is the D'Ourumean Holy Church. The Church is very similar to Christianity, as they believed in one god that created everything. As a Church, it was pretty dystopian in term of beliefs. The Church required members to pray towards the east at Dusk for the blessing of a new day, and they required people to cut out any "unclean animals" from their diet. Their god, Iehovah, translates to "God" in english. The word "Iehovah" comes from the latin word of Jehovah, a name for God.

The D'Ourumean Holy Church combines parts of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all together. The influence of "unclean animals" comes from the Jewish custom of not eating "unclean animals", and the Praying towards the east is an Islamic influence of praying five times a day towards Mecca.
