Template:Nation infoboxDalkai (Dalkaisk: Dalkaj) otherwise known as the Dalkaisk Proletarian Republic (Dalkaisk: Rjespublika Dalkaisk Norodmjov), is a nation formed on the 25th of February, 2017. In its pre-migratory age, it was a densely populated power on the Reicala continent. It follows a variety of socialism known as Dumontism, which was created and developed in early February of 2017 during the revolutionary conflicts with SMG.

History
Prehistoric Taurus
A common ancestor to modern Carthyans, Lancastrians, Havenians, and Dalkaisk called the Bullseyans occupied the area of Taurus around Southwestern Reicala, and around the modern city of Genissis. A population of Bullseyans migrated west from this heartland to settle in the area of Southern and Central Reicala. The migrated population of Bullseyan would become today's Dalkaisk and Carthyan populations.
Premigratory Period
SMG era
The Dalkaisk and Southern Carthyan populations came under control of SMG, a majority Gerbian nation. During these periods, Non-Gerbian populations were given little rights in contrast to the Gerbian upper-class. There was a system of segregation called Geyley in place that restricted a minority's freedom of movement, as well as forcing vastly inferior institutions of education and housing neighborhoods, in contrast with the well-maintained institutions of the ethnic Gerbian class. The culmination of increased persecution of Dalkaisk peoples as well as existing ethnic divides caused tensions that would spark into revolution.
Dalkaisk Revolution
A young Dalkaisk man from a farmer family outside of modern Nankai named Dzheri Dumont formed an underground left-leaning Dalkai Independence group called the Damilists. The Damilists grew in number on the continent of Reicala until the Nankai Incident, where thousands of suspected Damilists and Dalkaisk in general we massacred in the streets of Nankai by SMG forces. Tens of Thousands of Dalkaisk and Carthyans were subsequently evicted and murdered all over SMG as a backlash against the Damilist rise.
Dzheri Dumont defected the country into the Oscdean States, where he lived in exile. During this time, tensions between the Dalkaisk population and the SMG government was continuously rising, until a Damilist riot broke out during a military speech by the Gerbian mayor of Nankai, often cited as the beginning of the Dalkaisk Revolution. After 7 months in exile, Dzheri Dumont returned to lead the Damilist forces in the revolution.
Damilist forces occupied most of Central Southern Reicala, and mainly fought in Western Reicala, with the SMG forces operating out of Northridge (or Nordridzh) in the Northeast, and Damilist forces from Pychezskov Port in the Southeast. The fighting ended when Damilist forces, on the icy outskirts of Northridge, surrounded SMG General Tort Crazen, forcing his surrender. The Pychezskov Treaty was signed after the fighting, ensuring the creation of a New Dalkaisk state on Reicala, with SMG keeping land in the Northeast around Northridge.
The Great Migration
Dalkaisk families hurriedly left Taurus on Dalkaisk airships. Being fewer in number, and containing less advanced technology, the Dalkaisk Great Migration featured more overcrowded and undersupplied conditions than the Oscdean Great migration. During this time, the famous Peditse tsi Matrosha (Matrosha's Bucket) journal entry was written.
Orcana Settlements
A portion of the Dalkaisk migrants landed on the world of Orcana as a vital stopping point during the migration. Some on the fleet decided it would be advantageous to stay in a stable place they already were rather than risk continuing on and finding a better world. As a result of this decision, a Dalkaisk settlement on Orcana called Pectavod continues to this day, and communicates semi-regularly with the Doggerland and remaining Tauran populations.
Doggerland Arrival
The slower speeds of the Dalkaisk fleets in comparison to the Oscdean fleet meant that Dalkaisk migrants arrived later than Oscdean ones. Upon the discovery of Doggerland by the Oscdean ships, the Dalkaisk fleet was notified of the new world, and directed towards it, setting up in Doggerland near the Oscdean settlement.
