Bamey

The Protectorate of Bamey (Kadolhan: Заштитништво Бамея, Zaštitništvo Bameja) is an overseas territory of Kadolha in south Maimunia.

Pre-colonization
Before Kadolhans settled Bamey in the 19th century, the land was divided among indigenous tribes, although visually the same, customs and different religious practices told them apart from each other. It is believed that none of these tribes built anything significant in terms of historic importance, only some monuments made of wood or formed from rocks for any gods, this included ritual places, which were often located in bigger straw huts. The language varied from tribe to tribe, although to some extent they could understand each other. At the time the Kadolhans landed, the largest and most significant tribe was that of the Kalaga people, who in the following years were massacred due to constant raids on Kadolhan settlements and inability to cooperate, marking the Kalaga genocide.

Colonization and protectorate established
The Kadolhans landed in Bamey in 1792, forming a few coastal settlements and years later would form the city of Grbonjićgrad, named after the first Supreme Councilor of the First Kadolhan Republic, whom also in turn became a very important port city for Kadolha. Predrag Kalabić led an expedition further into the jungles of Bamey and came across multiple tribes, who proved to be very towards the new settlers. Kadolhans managed to get some tribes to cooperate and assume control over their territory, but this was not the case with other tribes who were becoming increasingly more hostile, attempting to chase the settlers out of their territory and the majority of the time never succeeding in doing so. An official document from 1799 shows that there were two factions of tribes, those who were willing to cooperate and allowed the colonizer to assume control over their territory, and the hostile faction of tribes, who viewed the collaborationist tribes as traitors and the Kadolhans as their enemies. The number of tribes that cooperated was very little, but it allowed Kadolhans to set up a bigger military presence. In 1802, after a regime change in Kadolha, settlers have proposed a ceasefire to hostile tribes, to which a handful of tribes have agreed to, but remaining tribes that haven't were attacked by Kadolhans and then massacred over the course of a four months. After word came that all resistance has been suppressed in the new colony, the government officially gave Bamey self-governing status, rendering it as a protectorate.

Bameyan War of 1865
The long-established ceasefire between indigenous Bameyan tribes and Kadolhans came to an end in 1865 when a group of tribesmen attacked and robbed a Kadolhan trade caravan. After news came to the local government in Bamey, the then Protector Dejan Nikolić was angered to see that the tribes broke the ceasefire, and immediately sent a message to the government in Kradelas, requesting permission to take action against the tribes. The Kadolhan government approved his request with the addition of more firepower to be sent to Bamey. Three regiments were formed and sent out to combat the first couple of neighboring tribes. With superior firepower, the Kadolhans were met with almost no resistance, the order was to leave no one alive, and the soldiers were ruthless at killing every member of these tribes, including women and children. Remaining survivors alerted the other tribes of a Kadolhan attack, this forced tribal leaders to agree to form a confederation in order to be able to stand their ground against the Kadolhans. This confederation of tribes, despite having the high ground in the manpower department, proved to be futile against superior firepower utilized by the Kadolhan side, and the war came to an end after three months of fighting.

The tribal confederation in Bamey was dissolved, and the tribes were once again in fear of being persecuted for their violation of the ceasefire. The Kadolhan authorities, shockingly enough, did not undertake any reprisals against the formerly rebellious tribes, and instead offered a new ceasefire agreement that remains largely in effect today. At that time, the Kadolhans found it important to build Bamey together with the tribes, rather than cleanse the lands of them.

Apartheid and genocide
Ever since the Kadolhans first came in contact with local tribes, and  laws were enforced. Most notable was the declaration of the Bameyan apartheid in 1802, although it still remains in use today, the apartheid was temporarily abolished after the Bameyan War of 1865, because the Kadolhan authorities required additional labor. This period came to be known as the "free period", where tribal folk weren't limited to their own territory, and were to an extent considered equal to a Kadolhan, but were still affected by anti-miscgenation laws. This period lasted until 1861, exactly six years, and because of the noticably high number of tribal migrations through Kadolhan territory in Bamey. To prevent any racial mixing and attempts at settling in Kadolhan areas by tribes, the apartheid was once again reinstated, and inevitably caused a of tribes.

The was seen as a violation of the ceasefire by the tribes, but were never willing to react to it, because of the fear of being killed and further expelled. The tribals that settled in Kadolhan areas were expelled, and those who refused to leave were killed, as was the case with one settlement, where it was entirely razed to the ground and its inhabitants left to rot on the ground. Almost no resistance was met after the village of Savauru was razed, and the tribes were confined to their areas within a couple of months.

Throughout the 20th and the early 21st century, the apartheid in Kadolhan colonies was always condemned by the international community, but nothing was ever done about it, especially from the side of the tribes who remain largely suppressed today.
