United Provinces of Adin and Morin

"Ah, Adin and Morin, one of the best places to holiday in the Confederacy, lots of hot sun, and everything's so cheap!"

- A travel agent in the Confederate States of Earth, advising on where to go on holiday

The United Provinces of Adin and Morin (also simpy known as Adin and Morin and Adin-Morin) was a union between two small desert nations located on the continent of Desertica, located to the south of the continent of Aerlandia, on the planet Earth.

Adin and Morin was founded in 599 BBY as a union between the two small desert regions of Adin and Morin, of which Morin was a self-governing province of Adin. Adin-Morin was too small to much a threat to other nations, and thus was largely ignored by the wider global community, things changed when the nation joined the Union of Earth States in 77 BBY.

Joining the Union had given Adin and Morin more of a say in global affairs, however it also brought with it bullying and threats, as larger, more powerful, nations often tried to bully Adin and Morin into agreeing with them. Adin-Morin's dislike of increased taxation, especially after the rise of the Federalist Faction to power with the election of Richard Williams as Union President in 24 BBY.

Adin-Morin was upset at the perceived growing tyranny, corruption and oppressive taxation in the Union, and her people began calling for a withdrawal from the Union, Adin-Morin found like-minded member states within the Traditionalist Faction. Several years later, in 21 BBY, Jane Zarkan, queen of the Zarkan Kingdom and empress of the Zarkan Empire, the largest empire on Earth, announced the secession of her nation and empire from the Union, beginning the First Secessionist Crisis.

Adin-Morin followed the Zarkan Kingdom mere hours later, declaring their secession from the Union and becoming the 2nd nation of what would become the Confederate States of Earth. Adin-Morin had faith that their larger allies would provide them with support against any Union aggression, but for the first few days found herself almost totally alone, until Jane Zarkan called the heads of states of the 10 seceded nations to Castle Zarkan to discuss creating a new nation.

As part of the creation of the Confederate States of Earth each member pledged to support their fellow Confederate nations, Adin-Morin was finally given the relief that larger, stronger nations would support her in case of a Union invasion. As a token of support to the new Confederacy Adin-Morin pledged her entire military force to the cause, whilst even the entire military was still dwarved by those of the Confederate allies her military pledge to the cause was welcomed as more of a gesture of Adin-Morin's belief in the Confederacy than anything else.

Despite this, Adin-Morin's fought well and fought hard, they made a name for themselves when they successfully led the defence of Adin-Morin during the Union's Invasion of Adin-Morin, though this was only really possible because the Columbian branch of the Confederate States of Earth Navy was able to destroy much of the Union Navy's invasion force.
