Acaria is a country in Bulungi.

History[edit | edit source]

North Arlesburian colonization[edit | edit source]

During the age of discoveries, North Arlesbury colonized the Acarian archipelago and initiated trading posts in 1517.

Independence[edit | edit source]

The end of the New State in North Arlesbury affected its Bulungian colonies, which meant that they had to forcibly become sovereign countries.

National Prosperity[edit | edit source]

As the country switched to a democratical regime, Acaria entered a process known as "National Prosperity". This meant that there is a growing number of Acarians investing in a free-market capitalist regime.

Media[edit | edit source]

Electricity is available to three thirds of the country. Broadcasts are mainly in English yet some broadcasts in Acarian also prevail. As of a 2000 report, Acania had 100,000 radios and 15,000 television sets nationwide. Radio is the most popular means of communication. The Acarian National Broadcasting Corporation owns two radio stations, Acanian National Radio and ANR+. The new millennium ushered in an age of mass private broadcasting: Warangala FM became the first commercial FM station in Acaria, as a sister service of Radio Warangala. One of the most popular shows on commercial radio is Radio he la tringi, spoken in Acarian, where listeners resquest their shows. RNA Bulungi broadcasts can also be received.

Television started in 1982. Initially it was a monopoly operated by Acarian Experimental Television. Regular broadcasts started in 1982, seven years after the first experiments. A stream of TNA Bulungi was added in 1998. Private television did not arrive until 2005. IRT (Independent Radio and Television) was the first to go in 1995, followed two years later by JNNNN TV Anda. IRT was then sold off and its shares were given to Acom Television in 2005. JNNNN TV Anda was controversial, and it still is, because of its news operation. Late night television includes death metal and heavy metal music.

Currently, Freeview, often viewed by many as "television of the future" carries two television streams (ANTV and JNNNN TV Anda) and one radio stream (ANR). More channels are underway, including porting of TNA Bulungi and a potential addition of SBBC Bulungi.

DSTV (continental) is widely available, but just carries ANTV in the local channels section of the 200s. Zak It! and AING (Acaria Integrated Network Group) are the two local cable providers.
