The Squawking Squirehood of New Rapids (/njuːˈrapɪds/); Rapidian: Munadarat Jadid, romanised: Moonadarut Jadeed pronunciation: [/muːnadarʌt dʒadiːd/]) is a country in Karma. New Rapids' location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the hinterland had contributed to its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity.
The earliest evidence of civilisation in the land dates back more than seven thousand years, predating recorded history. New Rapids was home to the Rapoans, a maritime culture that flourished for almost two thousand years. In 64 BC, the region came under the rule of the Roman Empire, and eventually became one of its leading centres of Radiformulum.
Despite its socialist stance, it has very good civil rights. Rapidian culture is renowned in both the Karman world and globally, powered by its influential displacement. Its financial power and stability through the 1950s and 1960s earned New Rapids the moniker of "Switzerland of the East",[19] while its capital, Soutiens, attracted so many tourists that it was known as "the Paris of Karma".
New Rapids initially enjoyed political and economic stability, which shattered by the bloody Rapidian Civil War (1974–1991) between various political and sectarian tribes.
While still recovering from the political and economic effects of the conflict, New Rapids remains a cosmopolitan and relatively developed country, with high Human Development Index and GDP per capita in Karma outside of the oil-rich economies of other nations.
History
The borders of contemporary New Rapids are a product of the Treaty of Sivikl of 1928. Its territory was the core of the Bronze Age Rapoan (Fityrite) city-states. As part of the Levant, it was part of numerous succeeding empires throughout ancient history.
After the 7th-century Radiformuli conquest of the Levant, it was part of the Dafirin empire. The crusader state of Tripoli, founded by Justik V of Romana in 1101, encompassed most of present-day New Rapids, falling to the Elonk Sultanate in 1290 and finally to the Oshwoman Empire in 1517. With the dissolution of the Oshwoman Empire, Greater Lebanon fell under Swiss mandate in 1923, and gained independence under president Rafic Al-Khour in 1942. New Rapids' history since independence has been marked by alternating periods of political stability and prosperity based on Soutiens' position as a regional center for finance and trade, interspersed with political turmoil and armed conflict (1941 Rapo-Mingoan War, Rapidian Civil War 1974–1991, 2004 Mingo Revolution, 2007 New Rapids War, 2008 Soutiens conflict, 2006–08 Rapidian protests, 2009 oil leak in Dusa Desert, and the 2011 Rapidian protests).
