Or, Abkhadria
Players: tier1399, MOONC4T
Slot: "Where Onega use to be"
A quaint nation formed in 500 AD by a group of people who didn't want to be disturbed by anyone. The inhabitants want nothing more than to just live a peaceful life and go about their days normally. They follow a religion called Sunnyism. They live by their god's teachings. The official language is Abkhadrian (a dialect of Arabic if you will). Larger cities will have a few main roads for cars but it is mostly a car free nation due to the remoteness of the place. Only a few hundred cars were imported before it became too much of a hassle. It is the same with most goods imported to the country. That is why Abkhadria is mostly self sufficient, only importing the things they physically cannot make or grow like tropical fruits, most of their wood and more. They have lots of mountains which is where they get their rock. They are extremely good at anything to do with rock. They have ore deposits and mines everywhere.

Language
Abkhadrian. Abkhadrian is a language that has gone back for a long time. It is used widely across the whole country but is pretty hard to learn because of their alphabet system. It is usually spoken pretty fast so it is not understandable to foreigners. Speakers often sound angry but most of the time they aren’t. It’s often the language metal bands from the country use to make their music more brutal.
Capital City
The capital city of Abkhadria is called Peinystone. It has no natural landmarks but it has the largest castle in the region. It also has a railway going across the long stretch of landmass of the former Arai. People can also take a tour of the nearby train/aircraft factory and look at how they are made. The central government is located in Abkhadria due to strategic location and significance. Many religious festivals are held in Shahrood due to its size, architecture and people. It has a medium sized airport where the government plans to invite airlines to make a route there or be based in Abkhadria International Airport. The Peinystone Castle has been involved in a number of sieges in the medieval times of Atera. It has a population of 75,000. It has 3 locations of Wcdoalds.
Population
The population is small because Abkhadria is on a large Antarctic plain. The population is 185,575. 43% of the population are between 0-18 years old, 25% are 19-35 years old, 27% are 36-50 and the other 29% are 51-90 years old. The other 1% is 90+. The country has a middle aged population problem. The distinct cultural group is mostly the Abkhadrians. These people can be easily identified because of their tall height. Men’s average height is 6’ 6.6’’ or 200cm and women’s average height is 5’ 11’’ or 180cm. Some males can get to 7’ 4’’ maximum. Women can grow to 6’ even maximum. Men are 49% of the population and women account for the other 51%

The government type of Abkhadria is a Federalist government. There are different branches of the government that handle different things like the military, medical things, general infrastructure and people. Laws are mainly enacted through a vote in the main government body with a 70% majority vote being needed to pass the law. Policies are mostly the same except a 60% approval rate is needed. If the law concerns something specific that one branch of the government handles, only they need to vote.
Economy
Abkhadria has its own currency called the Abkhadrian Giri which it uses inside the country but it also uses the Para when making international purchases. Monopolies are banned in the country because there shouldn’t be a need to pay high prices for whatever you need. Free markets are allowed but supervised. Stock trading is legal. Taxes are relatively low but 5% of company funds are used by the government. The Giri is worth 5 Para.
Centralization
The government of Abkhadria is all in one place and there are no states considering the country’s size. The government is structured in a 3 tier system as well as the categories like military etc. The 3 tiers from bottom to top are the politicians who give the law suggestions to the tier above. The tier above reviews it and if they deem it plausible they send it to the highest tier for them to pass or deny it. It works like this for everything else the government has to make a decision for.
Government Cohesion
The government is split into the 3 tiers and the different sectors. There are mainly 2 political groups that run for the election every 5 years, the republican party and the libertarian party. The republicans have largely won the elections but there have been a few times when the liberalists have taken the seat of the president after winning the election. They mostly have the same views but the republicans want to spend money on the people and the liberalists want to spend it on the military.
Terrain and Climate
The terrain of Abkhadria is very icy due to the latitude of the nation. There are
Flora and Fauna: There aren't many unique animals or plants but there are a few types of plants and only 1 species of strange animal. One of the plants is a carnivorous plant that works like a pitcher plant. Its name is the Abkhadi Great Pitcher and they are spread through the mountain plains of the nation. They mostly eat flies and other bugs but cannot tell between prey and humans and will try to consume humans to no avail. The Abkhadrian Greater Dart Wolf is a small wolf that can move very quickly. It isn’t aggressive but it is territorial.

Major Cities
The major cities other than Peinystone are Parvaneh, Golshan, Sarbandar, Zarinabad and Neyshabur. The largest of the 5 non-capital cities, Parvaneh is home to 140,000 people. The country’s research happens in facilities near and in the city. It is home to the largest statue of Sunny in the country. Golshan is the 3rd largest city and it houses 120,000 people. A few of the country’s markets and festivals are held here. Sarbandar is the 4th largest city and it houses 100,000 people. This city is the shopping centre of Slavica and holds the largest shopping centre in the country. Zarinabad is the smallest city and it houses only 20,000 inhabitants. It is a beachside city so a fair amount of tourists flock to the town to visit the beach and eat the delicious fish and chips. It is yet to be repaired from the damage suffered during the attacks.
Major Ports and Harbors
There is only one real major harbour on the coast outside of Shahrood which serves civilian and military ships. Civilian cargo ships deliver most of the supplies needed to build things and grow the economy of Slavica. The sparse number of military ships are based in the harbour.
National Resources and Economic Produce
There are generic mountain resources like native metals and a fairly high amount of cobalt
Economic Boons
There are not many flourishing industries in Abkhadria but there are 2 big ones, the railway industry and aircraft building. Lots of planes are designed and sold and the railway industry in Slavica is only one big company designing large projects for Dyphia and Castille. This will take an obscene amount of time though because of the amount of work needed.
Economic Struggles
There is a very bad income disparity problem in Abkhadria in which factory workers are earning more than they should be and the designers of the products are being paid less. There is an ongoing project to solve this called Project Income. Its aim is to eventually get designers of products paid the same as the factory workers if not more through laws that prevent high amounts of income difference between workers in the same building if one doesn’t manage the other.
Technology Level
The level of technology is different in different fields like transport tech being further advanced than weapons tech. The medical field is standard but defibrillators are being researched and tested as well as dialysis machines.
Education and Research
The basic school system in Abkhadria is measured from Nursery to Year 13 with Nursery to Year 6 being in primary school and Year 7-13 being in secondary school. They can then choose between going for an apprenticeship, university or an internship. There are multiple known universities but the best ones are called Abkhadi Institute of Engineering and Harvey University. The students will take an end of school exam for each of their subjects in Year 6 and Year 13. One of the significant research facilities is called the Leben Research Institute.
Military Compostion, Strength and Focus
The military is average for an island and based on multiple of the small islands. There are different sectors of the military for different purposes. The air force and army take up 40% of the military each and the navy takes up the other 20%. There is a specialised recon force as well. The security policy for Slavica is that if any aggression is detected that it will be met with higher amounts of force. The military is divided up into the types of personnel like 1st Bomber Squadron, 1st Infantry Squadron etc. The Abkhadrian doctrine is a ‘do a quick attack, fly out as fast as possible and loop around for another attack’
Military Struggles
The main struggle of the military is the limited army and ammunition because most of the money goes to researching new tech. The equipment is also slightly outdated because of this, dating as far back as the beginning of the Great War. The military can respond quickly to security risks but needs more manpower compared to other nations of a comparable size.

The Abkhadrian government has put in numerous welfare programs to support the people who need it like unemployment benefits, disability benefits, free public healthcare and easy access to mental health specialists. 30% of the total GDP is put towards these as we believe that it is important to have happy citizens to have a happy country. There are more than enough employment choices to choose from like driving the trains around the country, making planes, running a business and much more.
Culture and History
There is a rich cultural background in Abkhadria like the festivals of the Sunnyist population or the traditions of the Native Abkhadrians. The history of Abkhadria goes back a long time, before the Great War to around 1780 when there were peasants running about and there was a monarchy. It carried on like that until about 1914 when the government was redone.
Modern Culture and Society
The main social trends for Abkhadria are that it is generally accepted if you don’t tip due to the business nature of companies and income, if you finish your food at a restaurant, it means that you liked the food and if you are a guest at someone's house, you would take off your shoes out of respect. People like to read magazines and newspapers a fair bit and the younger generation would be watching TV.
Religion
The national religion of Abkhadria is called the Church of Sunny. It is a relatively new religion. People who follow the Church of Sunny are called Sunnyists. On Christmas, Sunnyists believe that you should give each other gifts and pray to the sun for a good year next year. There is also a week of fasting between dawn and dusk once a year for people to think about what less fortunate people have to go through. The other religions get along well with each other.
Civil Struggles
There aren't any real civil struggles other than a problem with racism. This has no effect on political relations as it is only entitled civilians who behave like this. There is going to be a system to combat this legally. It will be a law that classes racism and other things as hate crimes which will be punishable with a hefty fine and a personal written apology to the victim. The racism stems from the fact that the population is mostly white with few people of colour and some entitled idiots think that white supremacy is a good thing.
Foreign Relations
The nation’s foreign relations are good for the most part. They are in a pact called the Dario Economic Bloc. Abkhadria’s stance on human rights is that they are very important and should be upheld 100% of the time or be punished severely. They are very neutral unless attacked.
