Azerbaijan S.A.R

A semi-autonomous region of the Kingdom of North Caucasia, controlled by Imm_Adam

Information
Azerbaijan is a semi-autonomous region that encompasses the entire area of Azerbaijan. It gained this status after holding what the Kingdom of North Caucasia called an "illegal referendum." The country is very well known on the server for it's tourism and things to do, and the countries terrain makes it very inviting, tropical weather year round and a large plain surrounded by massive caucasian mountains on all sides makesfor some stunning views.

Gaining Autonomy
As stated earlier, Azerbaijan held an "illegal referendum" in the eyes of the Kingdom of North Caucasia, but after the results were shown to the KNC, which showed that 86% of Azerbaijan residents voted FOR autonomy, vs just 14% voting AGAINST autonomy, the regional government handed the monarch an ultimatium. Either allow autonomy, or be prepared to face uprisings, protests and possibly even a full blown war with Azerbaijan, and if they were to win, they would demand full independence. The monarch sat on this ultimatium for a while, and initially wanted to refuse it, but as Azerbaijan has a booming tourism industry that makes good money, having uprisings and war in a tourism area wouldn't be a good look, and all the money would disappear, so in the end the KNC had to agree and give Azerbaijan autonomy.
