Seambe or its official name the Republic Of Seambe is a nation located in the western central part of Ozara. Bordering the Trust Territory Of Central Ozara on it's southern border along the bight lowlands, x country in the north and y country on the central eastern part of the country. The administrative and political capital of Seambe is Dekka, located on the central coast in the eastern part of the Gaimba province. Though the economic center and largest city is Port Lamuba, located on the northern coast in the Accule province. Seambe is a republic with a presidential style government system.

Using soft or hard power across Seambese to controll almost all parts of society. Including the nation's economy, that is partially controlled by the government via a Dirigisme economic model.

The creation and history of what is modern day Seambe, is a long and bloody one. Though the majority of it centered around the conflict between the Tivuru and Lijawa ethnic groups. Who battled for the control of the area that is called Seambe today. Originally the Tivuru people, divided in a number of clans, emigrated to what is now western Seambe circa xxxx. Followed by Lijawa tribes who settled in the eastern part of modern day Seambe during circa xxxx. Conflicts quickly started between the two people, uniting both groups (who were often involved in different internal clan/tribal conflicts) against each other. Tivuru city states often controlled by clans and their smaller sub-clans united into the Wajof Kingdom, and Lijawa tribal groups under the Keyor kingdom. Both kingdoms settled into almost constant warfare between them, mainly as Lijawa tribes were settling outward towards Tivuru land. Though the Wajof kingdom would collapse into internal struggle, as clan leaders engaged in long and bloody succession battles. The Keyor kingdom divided back into tribal groups after extensive battles against foreign rival clans from the north.

While most Lijawa tribes would remain divided, engaging in a number of internal and external conflicts. Tivuru clans, who held extensive and profitable trade routes especially along the coast, would instead unite. As their trade routes would be threatened by external kingdoms to the south. Forming the Tivuru Empire, operating as an electoral monarchy, clan leaders elect a respected clan leader to be the king of the empire. During the 15th till 17th century the Tivuru empire would successfully fight these rival empires. Largely becoming the region's dominating influence, and especially its most wealthy. Though the order of elective monarchy would end in 1753, as the Mahale clan would launch a coup-like takeover. Ruling the nation until they suffered the same fate in 1837 at the hands of the Gahembe clan. Who instead installed Chaniele The First, who established a dynastic monarchy. He and his successor Fulese would start and finish a long campaign conquering the Lijawa tribal lands. Uniting the entirety of what is today Seambe, forming the Seambe empire. The dynasty would rule from 1837-1943, creating the national identity that is Seambese. Mainly around the idea of Seambe as a nation that exists as the union of the Tivuru and Lijawa people (though under Tivuru dominance). In 1943 the monarchy was overthrown, in an essentially bloodless coup launched by Mesete Balisu. Establishing a military junta dictatorship that lasted from 1943-1997. During this time the military dictatorship would adopt a dirigisme economic policy, using newly found oil wealth to industrialize the nation during the 1950s and 1960s. Though the military regime would be toppled in 1997, in the freedom coup. Mainly as a result of the Bossa Bush war, a guerilla insurgency in the Bossa province. Following the Freedom Coup Seambe would be transitioned into a democratic republic, it's first president being Sani Museke. Establishing the national congress and holding free elections. Until the takeover of current President Faulie Hakkame who launched a takeover from elected president Sani Museke in 2004.

Seambe holds a complicated role on the global stage. Though its large land and offshore oil deposits have ensured it a relatively prominent role. As it supplies the wider global community with oil exports that benefit both the Seambese and global economy. During the late 1950s and early 1960s Seambe started an alignment shift, from a largely neutral country to TTO alignment. Joining it in 1963, using its position as a prominent oil exporter to gain favor among the TTO. Mainly to gain military aid, through training and equipment. But Seambe also holds exceptional relations with nearby more neutral nations, mainly through the Rhodin-Ozara Treaty Organization. As it seeks to further the position of non apartheid nations, especially in Ozara.
