<onlyinclude>'''Nova Koravia''' ({{wp|Germanic_languages|Tyrnican}}: ''Niuwekovår''), officially the '''Republic of Nova Kovaria''' (''Republik Niuwekovår'') is an {{wp|Island_country|island country}} located in the [[Rum Gulf]]. Its closest neighbor is [[Saint-Baptiste]], with whom it shares the [[Rum Islands]] archipelago. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands. Its capital is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Augusta|Augusta]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Aspire_Island|Aspire Island]] and its largest city is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Freeport|Freeport]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Sankt_Mark|Sainkt Mark]].<br />
<br />
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, [[Tyrnica|Tyrnican]] and [[Rythene|Rythenean]] settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements across the archipelago. {{wp|Slavery#Chattel_slavery|Chattel slaves}} from [[Idica]] and {{wp|Indentured_servitude|indentured servants}} from [[Auressia]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Surucia]]) arrived soon after. These institutions would result in a boom of {{wp|cash crop}} and {{wp|monoculture|monocultural}} {{wp|plantation|plantation farming}}, including sugar, coffee, and fruits. By the late 17th century, almost all of the native population had died from disease or deliberate attacks by the settlers. <br />
<br />
Cooperation emerged between the Tyrnican and Rythene populations, forming a distinct [[#Culture|Nova Koravian identity]]. During the [[Tyrno-Rythenean Wars]], the Rythenean controlled islands were taken and the archipelago was reorganized under the single [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Colonial_Governors|Governor of Nova Kovaria]]. Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to [[Audonia]] for a long-term partnership. Turmoil in Aurdonia and unrest in the islands, however, would lead to independence in 1868 as the [[Nova_Kovaria#First Republic|First Republic of Nova Kovaria]]. This republic would eventually fall to a coup after Audonian intervention in 1882, and then again in 1890, before being restored during the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]] in 1921.<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Developed_country|developed nation}} and has a broad {{wp|Secondary sector of the economy|manufacturing sector}}, including {{wp|High_tech|high-tech}}, {{wp|petrochemical}}, {{wp|pharmaceutical}}, and {{wp|Outline_of_industrial_machinery|industrial machinery}} industries. It also retains robust {{wp|Financial_services|financial}} and {{wp|Tertiary_sector_of_the_economy|service}} sectors, as well as an emerging {{wp|Space_industry|spaceflight industry}}. {{wp|Tourism#Significance of tourism|Tourism}} is also a large industry, though it is highly localized and often not the focus of the nation. For the most part, agriculture has been superseded by manufacturing, and much of the islands’ food is imported. A lack of other {{wp|Natural resource|natural resources}} has created a deficit to import the raw materials and basic goods needed for Nova Kovaria’s manufacturing. {{wp|Fossil_fuel|Fossil fuels}} importation, especially, are a significant portion of its international trade, despite having plentiful offshore deposits.</onlyinclude><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name "Nova Kovaria" is a {{wp|Latinisation_of_names|Latinization}} of "New Kovaar" and is the recognized Rythenean-language name for the nation. In Tyrnican the name is "Niuwekovår" which is a direct translation of "New Kovaar". The nation's name originally came from the charter establishing the [[Nova_Kovaria#Colonial Period|Governorship of Nova Kovaria]], which named the colony after old [[Kovaar]] in Tyrnica. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the name predates the charter, with some older documents referring to the region as "Nova Kovaar", "Ruminselien", and "Friedericksland".<br />
<br />
There exists a contemporary movement to rename the country as part of a broader effort to [[Wikipedia:Decolonization|decolonialize]] it. Some proposed alternatives include Aspire (from [[Nova Kovaria#Aspire Island|Aspire Island]]), Halcyon, and Goldshore. This movement has, thus far, seen limited success and is widely considered a fringe movement.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
With the breakout of the [[Tea War]], further unrest related to the solidification of the Nova Kovarian identity, and an increasing desire by Tyrnica to lure Audonia into a partnership, the [[Library:Kovarian Agreement|Kovarian Agreement]] was signed in 1854. This agreement transferred the ownership of Nova Kovaria to Audonia in exchange for assistance in future conflicts. <br />
<br />
=== Accords Period ===<br />
As part of its independence, a series of asymetrical treaties, known collectively as the [[Audonian-Kovarian Accords]], were imposed on Nova Kovaria by Audonia under the guise of protecting the new country from [[Albrennia|Albrennian]] influence. This included a number of requirements and stipulations on Nova Kovaria, including a permanent Audonian naval base on [[Nova Kovaria#Pilger's Island|Pilger's Island]], Audonian oversight on trade and diplomatic agreements, and a mandatory consultation and first-offer role for any new industrial ventures. Audonia also reserved the right of intervention in Nova Kovaria if it believed it necessary, either politically or militarily. <br />
<br />
Intervention was formally attempted in 1882 as internal unrest reached a boiling point. Spearheaded by anti-Audonian insurgent groups, bombings, assassinations, and even skirmishes became commonplace. Pro-independence political factions also experienced growing influence and support. This ultimately led to the bombing of Audonia's naval base on Pilger's Island, orchestrated by the Freikovårarmee (FKA) and Rum Legion. After the bombing, Audonia deployed forces to the islands to suppress the insurgents and restore order. At the same time, elements within the Nova Kovarian army ousted President Erhardt Uchtmann and dissolved parliament, establishing a pro-Audonia [[Wikipedia:Military_junta|military junta]]. This marked the end of the First Republic and reasserted Audonia's hold over the island for the time being.<br />
<br />
Insurgent groups continued operating despite the new government's attempts to seek out and eliminate resistance, however. By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution of the Accords ===<br />
<br />
[[File:NovaKovaria Andrew-Thurmond.png|thumb|left|180px|President Andrew Thurmond]]<br />
<br />
Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule.<br />
<br />
=== First Great War ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />

==Government and Politics== <br />
{{Main|Politics of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
{{Prime Minister and President of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Representative_democracy|representative democratic}} republic with a {{wp|Unitary_state|unitary}} {{wp|Parliamentary_system|parliamentary}} system of government. The Constitution of 1921 established the current political system. The legislative branch of the government, the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Parliament|Nova Kovarian Parliament]], is a {{wp|Bicameralism|bicameral}} body consisting of the {{wp|upper house}}, the 25-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Assembly|Assembly]], and the {{wp|lower house}}, the 120-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Senate|Senate]]. As prescribed by the Constitution, members of the Assembly are directly elected by the people through {{wp|instant-runoff voting}}, while Senate seats are awarded through {{wp|party-list proportional representation}}. There is a 1% {{wp|electoral threshold}} for parties to receive representation in the Senate.<br />
<br />
{{Template:Parties in the Nova Kovarian Legislature}} <br />
<br />
Assembly members serve {{wp|Staggered elections|staggered}} 8-year terms, with half of the Assembly up for election every 4 years. Since 1967, Assembly members have been restricted to two terms in office. The Senate is nominally scheduled to hold elections every 4 years after a previous Senate election. However, the government can be dissolved early by a {{wp|Motion_of_no_confidence|no-confidence vote}} by the Senate or a dissolution motion by the Assembly signed by the President.<br />
<br />
The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#President|President]] is the {{wp|head of state}} and is elected directly by instant-runoff voting for a 6-year term, with no term limit. The role of the president is mainly ceremonial, though they have the power to call for a referendum with a majority vote in the Assembly. The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] is the {{wp|head of government}} and is appointed by a majority of the Senate. Cabinet ministers, who are appointed by the Senate, form the executive body together with the Prime Minister. The President and Prime Minister are currently [[Laura Pastor]] and [[Jonas Granger]], respectively.<br />
<br />
The highest {{wp|judicial}} body in Nova Kovaria is the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]], which has explicit {{wp|judicial review}} power provided by the Constitution. The court is composed of five justices appointed by the Assembly for a single term of 18 years. The court's agenda is determined by the Chief Justice, a position rotated between the serving justices once a year.<br />
<br />
===Foreign Relations & Military=== <br />
Nova Kovaria maintains diplomatic relations with almost all of the [[List_of_countries_(Levilion|world's nations]]. It is a member of the [[Assembly of Marceaunian States]]. Nova Kovaria has had close ties with the [[Commonwealth of Northern Auressia]] since the organization's founding, providing the organization with a launch site for its satellite and spaceflight ventures. <br />
<br />
In recent decades, the country has developed a close alliance with its former suzerain [[Audonia]]. Special border agreements allow the for relatively easy travel between the two countries, which has resulted in Audonia becoming Nova Kovaria's largest trading partner. This alliance has grown to include annual naval exercises in the Rum Gulf, as well as the reopening of the Port Bartholomew Naval Base to the local economy. Nova Kovarian and Audonian military forces have heavily integrated their military {{wp|Command_and_control|command and control}}.<br />
<br />

'''Elessia''', officially the '''Lands of Elessia and Presepe''', is a country located in [[Occidental Auressia]] along the Hemetrian Sea. It is surrounded by the Hesperian Ocean to the west, Hemetrian Sea to the east, [[Sortenza]] to the south, and other Auressian states to the north. More than half of its population of 26 million are centered around the seven major cities of Citaviola, the largest and the nation's capital, Presepe, Castellu-Sud, Viridoram, Petranera, Boscusecu, and Punente. Elessia is majority [[Fiorism|Fiorist]], though there are significant [[Perendism|Perendist]] and [[Morism|Morist]] minorities. It is a {{wp|Theocracy}} governed by the [[Fiorism#Communal Fiorist Church|Communal Fiorist Church]], nominally under the principles of {{wp|Theodemocracy}}.<br />
<br />
The ancient city-states of [[Cities of Elessia#Viridoram|Vetus Portum]] (now Viridoram) and [[Cities of Elessia#Petranera|Petranera]] laid the foundations for what would become Elessia around 1200 BCE. They, along with other cities, were later absorbed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]] between 413 and 330 BCE into the provinces of Lidomale and Hasena. The region saw numerous changes in control, including a period under the Hassab following the decline of the First Sabarine Empire, before becoming part of the [[Second Sabarine Empire]]. Elessia re-emerged as a collection of city-states after the fall of the Second Empire, leading to the formation of the Duchy of Elessia in the early 18th century through confederation. Concurrently, the Fiorist religious movement rose, profoundly influencing the region's culture and beliefs. Elessia aligned with the Coalition during the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]] and later allied with [[Palia]] during the [[Second Great War (Levilion)|Second Great War]], only to experience a swift defeat. Post-war democratization efforts were undermined by corruption and the resurgence of the Communal Fiorist Church, leading to an ongoing conflict with anti-regime forces. By 2023, Elessia's embrace of authoritarianism and economic struggles resulted in one of the lowest standards of living in Auressia.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The first cities in what would become Elessia date back to antiquity, with ancient city states of Vetus Portum (now Viridoram) and Petranera dating back to as far as 1200 BCE. Between 413 and 330 BCE, the city states would be conquered or annexed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]]. Soon after, the cities were organized into the provinces of Lidomale and Hasena, which would become part of the core imperial lands during most of its history. By the late 6th century, however, invaders from the South and instability within the empire would see most of the peninsula fall to the Hassab. Eventually the lands would be reconquered by the [[Second Sabarine Empire]].<br />
<br />
As the influence of the Second Empire waned in the peninsula, Elessia would once again be broken into city-states. In 1702, the cities of Citaviola, Viridoram, and Boscusecu would sign a treaty of confederation, creating the [[Duchy of Elessia]]. Petranera would be acquired from Sortenza after the signing of the [[Treaty of Capulia]], and soon after the eastern city of Punente would join under threat of invasion. During the turn of the 19th century, instability would boil over in the cities of Petranera and Citaviola into an open {{wp|Republicanism|republicanist}} revolt. This would eventually be suppressed, though not before a group of refugees, fleeing the fighting and destruction, made their way into the ##Desert## and founded a small commune. Having been led by ##Founder##, a man claiming to have a spiritual connection with a yet unknown god, this group would become the core of the new Fiorist religious movement. By 1860, this new faith had spread across Elessia, supplanting local Perendist and Morist belief.<br />
<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Elessia aligned with the Coalition. The course of the war would result in significant militarization of the nation. This would continue to intensify in the interwar years as nationalism increased. Soon after, Lanzism would sweep through Elessia and result in a close partnership between it and [[Palia]] during the [[Second Great War (Levilion)|Second Great War]]. As Elessia's militarization was focused on appearance of might, rather than true power projection, its war effort would collapse after the Battle of Montigné and the coalition invasion.</div>Ozycaeviashttps://iiwiki.us/mediawiki/index.php?title=Elessia&diff=728975Elessia2023-11-08T03:42:34Z<p>Ozycaevias: </p>

'''Elessia''', officially the '''Lands of Elessia and Presepe''', is a country located in [[Occidental Auressia]] along the Hemetrian Sea. It is surrounded by the Hesperian Ocean to the west, Hemetrian Sea to the east, [[Sortenza]] to the south, and other Auressian states to the north. More than half of its population of 26 million are centered around the seven major cities of Citaviola, the largest and the nation's capital, Presepe, Castellu-Sud, Viridoram, Petranera, Boscusecu, and Punente. Elessia is majority [[Fiorism|Fiorist]], though there are significant [[Perendism|Perendist]] and [[Morism|Morist]] minorities. It is a {{wp|Theocracy}} governed by the [[Fiorism#Communal Fiorist Church|Communal Fiorist Church]], nominally under the principles of {{wp|Theodemocracy}}.<br />
<br />
The ancient city-states of [[Cities of Elessia#Viridoram|Vetus Portum]] (now Viridoram) and [[Cities of Elessia#Petranera|Petranera]] laid the foundations for what would become Elessia around 1200 BCE. They, along with other cities, were later absorbed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]] between 413 and 330 BCE into the provinces of Lidomale and Hasena. The region saw numerous changes in control, including a period under the Hassab following the decline of the First Sabarine Empire, before becoming part of the [[Second Sabarine Empire]]. Elessia re-emerged as a collection of city-states after the fall of the Second Empire, leading to the formation of the Duchy of Elessia in the early 18th century through confederation. Concurrently, the Fiorist religious movement rose, profoundly influencing the region's culture and beliefs. Elessia aligned with the Coalition during the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]] and later allied with [[Palia]] during the [[Second Great War (Levilion)|Second Great War]], only to experience a swift defeat. Post-war democratization efforts were undermined by corruption and the resurgence of the Communal Fiorist Church, leading to an ongoing conflict with anti-regime forces. By 2023, Elessia's embrace of authoritarianism and economic struggles resulted in one of the lowest standards of living in Auressia.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The first cities in what would become Elessia date back to antiquity, with ancient city states of Vetus Portum (now Viridoram) and Petranera dating back to as far as 1200 BCE. Between 413 and 330 BCE, the city states would be conquered or annexed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]]. Soon after, the cities were organized into the provinces of Lidomale and Hasena, which would become part of the core imperial lands during most of its history. By the late 6th century, however, invaders from the South and instability within the empire would see most of the peninsula fall to the Hassab. Eventually the lands would be reconquered by the [[Second Sabarine Empire]].<br />
<br />
As the influence of the Second Empire waned in the peninsula, Elessia would once again be broken into city-states. In 1702, the cities of Citaviola, Viridoram, and Boscusecu would sign a treaty of confederation, creating the [[Duchy of Elessia]]. Petranera would be acquired from Sortenza after the signing of the [[Treaty of Capulia]], and soon after the eastern city of Punente would join under threat of invasion. During the turn of the 19th century, instability would boil over in the cities of Petranera and Citaviola into an open {{wp|Republicanism|republicanist}} revolt. This would eventually be suppressed, though not before a group of refugees, fleeing the fighting and destruction, made their way into the ##Desert## and founded a small commune. Having been led by ##Founder##, a man claiming to have a spiritual connection with a yet unknown god, this group would become the core of the new Fiorist religious movement. By 1860, this new faith had spread across Elessia, supplanting local Perendist and Morist belief.<br />
<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Elessia aligned with the Coalition. The course of the war would result in significant militarization of the nation. This would continue to intensify in the interwar years as nationalism increased. Soon after, Lanzism would sweep through Elessia and result in a close partnership between it and [[Palia]] during the [[Second Great War (Levilion)|Second Great War]]. As Elessia's militarization was focused on appearance of might, rather than true power projection, its war effort would collapse after the Battle of Montigné and the coalition invasion.</div>Ozycaeviashttps://iiwiki.us/mediawiki/index.php?title=Elessia&diff=728974Elessia2023-11-08T03:42:18Z<p>Ozycaevias: Created page with "{{Infobox country |native_name = |conventional_long_name = Lands of Elessia and Presepe |common_name = Elessia |image_flag..."</p>

<div>== Concept Application ==<br />
<nowiki>[box][u]Basic Information[/u]<br />
<br />
[b]Nation Name (Official):[/b] The Blessed Land of Elessia and Presepe<br />
[b]Nation Name (Common):[/b] Elessia<br />
[b]Capital City:[/b] Citaviola<br />
[b]Requested Location:[/b] <br />
https://i.imgur.com/Qs5yVZf.png <br />
(Capital underlined)<br />
[b]Requested Population:[/b] 23 million, though with a significant population of refugees and displaced people that make accurate counting difficult.<br />
[b]Government Type:[/b] Theocratic Directorial Republic<br />
<br />
[b]Cultural Overview:[/b] Elessia's people have an ancient heritage, dating back thousands of years. Its traditions, customs, and cultural fascinations have been influenced primarily by the Sabarine Empires, as well as the Hassabites which occupied the peninsula. Its cultural roots are very close to those of its neighbor, Sortenza, though religious differences between Fiorism and Apostolic Perendism have resulted in minor cultural divergences.<br />
[list][*][u]Ethnicity and Language:[/u] Much of the ethnic makeup of Elessia is Lozaran, with other numerous, smaller ethnic groups coming from foreign religious converts. The primary languages spoken are Peninsularan (a "standard" language developed as a unifying dialect and the primary language used for Fiorism), Lozaran, and Sortenzan.<br />
[*][u]Religion:[/u] Elessia is majority Fiorist, a religious movement originating in the country during the Great Upheaval, though there are still significant Perendist and Morist minorities. It is a Theocracy governed by the Communal Fiorist Church, nominally under the principles of Theodemocracy, and thus Fiorism represents a major part of its culture and society.[/list]<br />
[b]Historical Overview:[/b] The first cities in what would become Elessia date back to antiquity, with ancient city states of Vetus Portum (now Viridoram) and Petranera dating back to as far as 1200 BCE. Between 413 and 330 BCE, the city states would be conquered or annexed by the First Sabarine Empire. Soon after, the cities were organized into the provinces of Lidomale and Hasena, which would become part of the core imperial lands during most of its history. By the late 6th century, however, invaders from the South and instability within the empire would see most of the peninsula fall to the Hassab. Eventually the lands would be reconquered by the Second Sabarine Empire.<br />
<br />
As the influence of the Second Empire waned in the peninsula, Elessia would once again be broken into city-states. The Kingdom of Sortenza would annex Petranera in the 17th century. In 1702, the cities of Citaviola, Viridoram, and Boscusecu would sign a treaty of confederation, creating the Duchy of Elessia. Petranera would be acquired from Sortenza after the signing of the Treaty of Capulia, and soon after the eastern city of Punente would join under threat of invasion. During the turn of the 19th century, instability would boil over in the cities of Petranera and Citaviola into an open republicanist revolt. This would eventually be suppressed, though not before a group of refugees, fleeing the fighting and destruction, made their way into the desert and founded the Fiorist faith. By 1860, this new faith had spread across Elessia, supplanting local Perendist and Morist belief.<br />
<br />
During the First Great War, Elessia maintained armed neutrality. Despite protestations from both the Coalition and Galene League, the country kept its ports open to all combatant nations. The militarization of the nation would continue to intensify in the interwar years as nationalism increased. Soon after, Lanzism would sweep through Elessia and result in a close partnership between it and Palia during the Second Great War. As Elessia's militarization was focused on appearance of might, rather than true power projection, its war effort would collapse after the Battle of Montigné and the coalition invasion.<br />
<br />
Post-war, Elessia's venture into democracy was rocky and faced consistent issues of widespread corruption, lingering neo-Lanzist sentiments, and the reconsolidation of power under the Communal Fiorist Church. After the Church reasserted itself and dissolved the secular institutions, it has been embroiled in a large scale insurgency with a coalition of various anti-regime groups.<br />
[b]Economic Overview:[/b] Under the Blossoming Flowers economic policy, the economy is divided between state-owned entities and cooperatives. Its primary industries are resource extraction and refinement, including rare earth metals in its mountainous west, offshore oil in the Hesperian Ocean, and clay along the coast. It also has a sizable manufacturing industry, especially in the sectors related to the military. Owing to internal strife, cooling of trade relations with its neighbors in recent years, and economic mismanagement, Elessia's economy is currently in the middle of a major crisis, resulting in its standard of living being one of the lowest in Auressia.<br />
<br />
[b]Geopolitics:[/b] Elessia is a black sheep in Western Auressia. Its relationship with its neighbors is strained by its historic suppression of minority religions, highly authoritarian government, and the ongoing internal conflict which has resulted in an exodus of Elessian refugees. This has been tempered by its close ties with Sulatia and support for the international socialist movement. The country has started to open itself up more to international cooperation, as well, in an effort to counter its economic downturn and seek support against its ongoing insurgency.<br />

This, as well as its cooled relations with neighboring countries due to its embracement of authoritarianism, has had a devastating impact on Elessia's economy. As of 2023, it has one of the lowest standards of living in Auressia.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
'''Fiorism''' is a syncretic faith between [[Perendism]] and [[Morism]], originally taking the more strict doctrine of Perendism and combining it with the broad folk traditions associated with Morism. Bringing together things like Perendism's Rites and Morism's water worship would be an example of how Piorism's traditions and ceremonies would have originally combined the two. The culture in this area is some flavor of Italian or adjacent (depending on location according to the plots sheet, I'm fine with going with what's there or developing something to fit a spot), historically being a cultural anchor for that cultural group. Given its proximity to Palia, <br />
<br />
Elessia could have shifted into Lanzism and sided very closely with Palia during GW2. It could have historically been an intensely militarized nation, very much in the way many authoritarian states are, where the perception of military might is more important than actual capability, making it a potential paper tiger that gets smacked down hard. The modern internal conflict here wouldn't be an all-out civil war, but rather a major conflict between government forces and insurgent groups. While the government retains control over the country broadly, insurgents are still very well armed and have carved out territories that they control (similar to Myanmar or, potentially, Mexico).</div>Ozycaeviashttps://iiwiki.us/mediawiki/index.php?title=User:Ozycaevias/Sandbox/MormonConcept&diff=727478User:Ozycaevias/Sandbox/MormonConcept2023-11-04T02:40:39Z<p>Ozycaevias: </p>

<div>'''Elessia''', officially the '''Lands of Elessia and Presepe''', is a country located in [[Occidental Auressia]] along the Hemetrian Sea. It is surrounded by the Hesperian Ocean to the west, Hemetrian Sea to the east, [[Sortenza]] to the south, and other Auressian states to the north. More than half of its population of 26 million are centered around the seven major cities of Citaviola, the largest and the nation's capital, Presepe, Castellu-Sud, Viridoram, Petranera, Boscusecu, and Punente. Elessia is majority [[Fiorism|Fiorist]], though there are significant [[Perendism|Perendist]] and [[Morism|Morist]] minorities. It is a {{wp|Theocracy}} governed by the [[Fiorism#Communal Fiorist Church|Communal Fiorist Church]], nominally under the principles of {{wp|Theodemocracy}}.<br />
<br />
The first cities in what would become Elessia date back to antiquity, with ancient city states of Vetus Portum (now Viridoram) and Petranera dating back to as far as 1200 BCE. Between 413 and 330 BCE, the city states would be conquered or annexed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]]. Soon after, the cities were organized into the province of ##Province##, which would become part of the core imperial lands during most of its history. By the late 6th century, however, invaders from the South and instability within the empire would see most of ##Province##'s fall to ##Enemy##. Eventually the lands would be reconquered by the [[Second Sabarine Empire]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Fiorist Emblem.png|thumb|Commonly used symbol of Fiorism.]] After the second empire's fall, Elessia would once again be broken into city-states. The Kingdom of Sortenza would annex Petranera in the 17th century. In 1702, the cities of Citaviola, Viridoram, and Boscusecu would sign a treaty of confederation, creating the [[Duchy of Elessia]]. Petranera would be acquired from Sortenza after the signing of the [[Treaty of Capulia]], and soon after the western city of Punente would join under threat of invasion. During the turn of the 19th century, instability would boil over in the cities of Petranera and Citaviola into an open {{wp|Republicanism|republicanist}} revolt. This would eventually be suppressed, though not before a group of refugees, fleeing the fighting and destruction, made their way into the ##Desert## and founded a small commune.

Having been led by ##Founder##, a man claiming to have a spiritual connection with a yet unknown god, this group would become the core of the new Fiorist religious movement. By 1860, this new faith had spread across Elessia, supplanting local Perendist and Morist belief.<br />

During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Elessia maintained {{wp|Neutral_country#Armed_neutrality|armed neutrality}}. Despite protestations from both the Coalition and Galene League, the country kept its ports open to all combatant nations.<br />

'''!Mormonism''' is a syncretic faith between [[Perendism]] and [[Morism]], originally taking the more strict doctrine of Perendism and combining it with the broad folk traditions associated with Morism.

<div>'''Elessia''', officially the '''Lands of Elessia and Presepe''', is a country located in [[Occidental Auressia]] along the Hemetrian Sea. It is surrounded by the Hesperian Ocean to the west, Hemetrian Sea to the east, [[Sortenza]] to the south, and other Auressian states to the north. More than half of its population of 26 million are centered around the seven major cities of Citaviola, the largest and the nation's capital, Presepe, Castellu-Sud, Viridoram, Petranera, Boscusecu, and Punente. Elessia is majority [[Fiorism|Fiorist]], though there are significant [[Perendism|Perendist]] and [[Morism|Morist]] minorities. It is a {{wp|Theocracy}} governed by the [[Fiorism#Communal Fiorist Church|Communal Fiorist Church]], nominally under the principles of {{wp|Theodemocracy}}.<br />
<br />
The first cities in what would become Elessia date back to antiquity, with ancient city states of Vetus Portum (now Viridoram) and Petranera dating back to as far as 1200 BCE. Between 413 and 330 BCE, the city states would be conquered or annexed by the [[First Sabarine Empire]]. Soon after, the cities were organized into the province of ##Province##, which would become part of the core imperial lands during most of its history. By the late 6th century, however, invaders from the South and instability within the empire would see most of ##Province##'s fall to ##Enemy##. Eventually the lands would be reconquered by the [[Second Sabarine Empire]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Fiorist Emblem.png|thumb|Commonly used symbol of Fiorism.]] After the second empire's fall, Elessia would once again be broken into city-states. The Kingdom of Sortenza would annex Petranera in the 17th century. In 1702, the cities of Citaviola, Viridoram, and Boscusecu would sign a treaty of confederation, creating the [[Duchy of Elessia]]. Petranera would be acquired from Sortenza after the signing of the [[Treaty of Capulia]], and soon after the western city of Punente would join under threat of invasion.

'''Ozycaevias''', also known as '''Caevus''', '''VonZweir''', '''Kron''', '''Fakolana''', and '''Nauvite Deseret''', I've been an IIWiki user since July 16th, 2016, and was an admin of IIWiki from June 20th, 2018 to July 11th, 2020. My contributions include [[Portal:Artemis]], [[Deseret]], the [[Main Page]] and a variety of tech and template work for iiWiki. I have been a [https://www.nationstates.net NationStates] user since 2010, and a member of the roleplaying community since 2015. In 2020, I decided to retire from NS, and later on retired from the IIWiki staff on good terms.<br />
<br />
My interests include History (especially Early-America and Utah History), Graphic Design, and Web Design. My formal education is in History and Political Science. Born and raised in Utah, I am currently in university studying History and Political Science. In my free time, I work on new digital graphics projects, playing games, and toying with the technical aspects of MediaWiki. Since being brought on as the technical admin, I was deeply involved with setting up the new wiki and improving user experience.<br />
<br />
== Sandboxes ==<br />
I utilize an organizational structure for my Sandboxes to keep track of concepts, page construction, and other more specific projects.<br />
* [[User:Ozycaevias/Sandbox/MormonConcept|Mormon Mythology Inspired Project]]<br />
<br />
== Current IIWiki Projects ==<br />
Beyond just worldbuilding, I do a few things around IIWiki in my free time.<br />
* Changing Wikipedia links in templates so they point to Wikipedia.<br />
* Removing unnecessary hard-requirements in certain templates. (IE: Citation needed)<br />
* Slowly building new templates to accomplish a variety of tasks.<br />
<br />
== Former Projects ==<br />
During 2020 I was primarily working on helping the upgraded wiki through its public launch. The agenda includes:<br />
* Importing templates<br />
* Fixing errors and bugs<br />
* Creating new pages<br />
* Working on the CSS of the site for better usability/look<br />
* Working on back-end maintenance and upgrades for the wiki.<br />
* Updating the wiki to 1.34!</div>Ozycaeviashttps://iiwiki.us/mediawiki/index.php?title=Nova_Kovaria&diff=696341Nova Kovaria2023-08-19T20:51:11Z<p>Ozycaevias: /* History */</p>

<onlyinclude>'''Nova Koravia''' ({{wp|Germanic_languages|Tyrnican}}: ''Niuwekovår''), officially the '''Republic of Nova Kovaria''' (''Republik Niuwekovår'') is an {{wp|Island_country|island country}} located in the [[Rum Gulf]]. Its closest neighbor is [[Saint-Baptiste]], with whom it shares the [[Rum Islands]] archipelago. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands.

<br />
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, [[Tyrnica|Tyrnican]] and [[Rythene|Rythenean]] settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements across the archipelago. {{wp|Slavery#Chattel_slavery|Chattel slaves}} from [[Idica]] and {{wp|Indentured_servitude|indentured servants}} from [[Auressia]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[Surucia]]) arrived soon after.

Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to [[Audonia]] for a long-term partnership.

<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name "Nova Kovaria" is a {{wp|Latinisation_of_names|Latinization}} of "New Kovaar" and is the recognized Rythenean-language name for the nation. In Tyrnican the name is "Niuwekovår" which is a direct translation of "New Kovaar". The nation's name originally came from the charter establishing the [[Nova_Kovaria#Colonial Period|Governorship of Nova Kovaria]], which named the colony after old [[Kovaar]] in Tyrnica. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the name predates the charter, with some older documents referring to the region as "Nova Kovaar", "Ruminselien", and "Friedericksland".<br />
<br />
There exists a contemporary movement to rename the country as part of a broader effort to [[Wikipedia:Decolonization|decolonialize]] it. Some proposed alternatives include Aspire (from [[Nova Kovaria#Aspire Island|Aspire Island]]), Halcyon, and Goldshore. This movement has, thus far, seen limited success and is widely considered a fringe movement.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
With the breakout of the [[Tea War]], further unrest related to the solidification of the Nova Kovarian identity, and an increasing desire by Tyrnica to lure Audonia into a partnership, the [[Library:Kovarian Agreement|Kovarian Agreement]] was signed in 1854. This agreement transferred the ownership of Nova Kovaria to Audonia in exchange for assistance in future conflicts. <br />
<br />
=== Accords Period ===<br />
As part of its independence, a series of asymetrical treaties, known collectively as the [[Audonian-Kovarian Accords]], were imposed on Nova Kovaria by Audonia under the guise of protecting the new country from [[Albrennia|Albrennian]] influence. This included a number of requirements and stipulations on Nova Kovaria, including a permanent Audonian naval base on [[Nova Kovaria#Pilger's Island|Pilger's Island]], Audonian oversight on trade and diplomatic agreements, and a mandatory consultation and first-offer role for any new industrial ventures. Audonia also reserved the right of intervention in Nova Kovaria if it believed it necessary, either politically or militarily. <br />
<br />
Intervention was formally attempted in 1882 as internal unrest reached a boiling point. Spearheaded by anti-Audonian insurgent groups, bombings, assassinations, and even skirmishes became commonplace. Pro-independence political factions also experienced growing influence and support. This ultimately led to the bombing of Audonia's naval base on Pilger's Island, orchestrated by the Freikovårarmee (FKA) and Rum Legion. After the bombing, Audonia deployed forces to the islands to suppress the insurgents and restore order. At the same time, elements within the Nova Kovarian army ousted President Erhardt Uchtmann and dissolved parliament, establishing a pro-Audonia [[Wikipedia:Military_junta|military junta]]. This marked the end of the First Republic and reasserted Audonia's hold over the island for the time being.<br />
<br />
Insurgent groups continued operating despite the new government's attempts to seek out and eliminate resistance, however. By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution of the Accords ===<br />
<br />
[[File:NovaKovaria Andrew-Thurmond.png|thumb|left|180px|President Andrew Thurmond]]<br />
<br />
Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule.<br />
<br />
=== First Great War ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />

==Government and Politics== <br />
{{Main|Politics of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
{{Prime Minister and President of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Representative_democracy|representative democratic}} republic with a {{wp|Unitary_state|unitary}} {{wp|Parliamentary_system|parliamentary}} system of government. The Constitution of 1921 established the current political system. The legislative branch of the government, the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Parliament|Nova Kovarian Parliament]], is a {{wp|Bicameralism|bicameral}} body consisting of the {{wp|upper house}}, the 25-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Assembly|Assembly]], and the {{wp|lower house}}, the 120-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Senate|Senate]]. As prescribed by the Constitution, members of the Assembly are directly elected by the people through {{wp|instant-runoff voting}}, while Senate seats are awarded through {{wp|party-list proportional representation}}. There is a 1% {{wp|electoral threshold}} for parties to receive representation in the Senate.<br />
<br />
{{Template:Parties in the Nova Kovarian Legislature}} <br />
<br />
Assembly members serve {{wp|Staggered elections|staggered}} 8-year terms, with half of the Assembly up for election every 4 years. Since 1967, Assembly members have been restricted to two terms in office. The Senate is nominally scheduled to hold elections every 4 years after a previous Senate election. However, the government can be dissolved early by a {{wp|Motion_of_no_confidence|no-confidence vote}} by the Senate or a dissolution motion by the Assembly signed by the President.<br />
<br />
The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#President|President]] is the {{wp|head of state}} and is elected directly by instant-runoff voting for a 6-year term, with no term limit. The role of the president is mainly ceremonial, though they have the power to call for a referendum with a majority vote in the Assembly. The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] is the {{wp|head of government}} and is appointed by a majority of the Senate. Cabinet ministers, who are appointed by the Senate, form the executive body together with the Prime Minister. The President and Prime Minister are currently [[Laura Pastor]] and [[Jonas Granger]], respectively.<br />
<br />
The highest {{wp|judicial}} body in Nova Kovaria is the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]], which has explicit {{wp|judicial review}} power provided by the Constitution. The court is composed of five justices appointed by the Assembly for a single term of 18 years. The court's agenda is determined by the Chief Justice, a position rotated between the serving justices once a year.<br />
<br />
===Foreign Relations & Military=== <br />
Nova Kovaria maintains diplomatic relations with almost all of the [[List_of_countries_(Levilion|world's nations]]. It is a member of the [[Assembly of Marceaunian States]]. Nova Kovaria has had close ties with the [[Commonwealth of Northern Auressia]] since the organization's founding, providing the organization with a launch site for its satellite and spaceflight ventures. <br />
<br />
In recent decades, the country has developed a close alliance with its former suzerain [[Audonia]]. Special border agreements allow the for relatively easy travel between the two countries, which has resulted in Audonia becoming Nova Kovaria's largest trading partner. This alliance has grown to include annual naval exercises in the Rum Gulf, as well as the reopening of the Port Bartholomew Naval Base to the local economy. Nova Kovarian and Audonian military forces have heavily integrated their military {{wp|Command_and_control|command and control}}.<br />
<br />

== Notes ==<br />
'''!Mormonism''' is a syncretic faith between [[Perendism]] and [[Morism]], originally taking the more strict doctrine of Perendism and combining it with the broad folk traditions associated with Morism. Bringing together things like Perendism's Rites and Morism's water worship would be an example of how !Mormonism's traditions and ceremonies would have originally combined the two. The culture in this area is some flavor of Italian or adjacent (depending on location according to the plots sheet, I'm fine with going with what's there or developing something to fit a spot), historically being a cultural anchor for that cultural group. Given its proximity to Palia, <br />
<br />
!Deseret could have shifted into Lanzism and sided very closely with Palia during GW2. It could have historically been an intensely militarized nation, very much in the way many authoritarian states are, where the perception of military might is more important than actual capability, making it a potential paper tiger that gets smacked down hard. The modern internal conflict here wouldn't be an all-out civil war, but rather a major conflict between government forces and insurgent groups. While the government retains control over the country broadly, insurgents are still very well armed and have carved out territories that they control (similar to Myanmar or, potentially, Mexico).</div>Ozycaeviashttps://iiwiki.us/mediawiki/index.php?title=Template:Country_data_Majisia&diff=694677Template:Country data Majisia2023-08-15T21:10:10Z<p>Ozycaevias: Ozycaevias moved page Template Country Data:Majisia to Template:Country data Majisia: Wrong namespace.</p>

By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />

<br />
[[File:NovaKovaria Andrew-Thurmond.png|thumb|left|180px|President Andrew Thurmond]]<br />
<br />
Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule.<br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />
<br />
=== Great Wars ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />

<onlyinclude>'''Nova Koravia''' ({{wp|Germanic_languages|Tyrnican}}: ''Niuwekovår''), officially the '''Republic of Nova Kovaria''' (''Republik Niuwekovår'') is an {{wp|Island_country|island country}} located in the [[Rum Gulf]]. Its closest neighbor is [[Saint-Baptiste]], with whom it shares the [[Rum Islands]] archipelago. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands. Its capital is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Augusta|Augusta]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Aspire_Island|Aspire Island]] and its largest city is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Freeport|Freeport]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Sankt_Mark|Sainkt Mark]].<br />
<br />
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, [[Tyrnica|Tyrnican]] and [[Rythene|Rythenean]] settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements across the archipelago. {{wp|Slavery#Chattel_slavery|Chattel slaves}} (from [[Idica]]) and {{wp|Indentured_servitude|indentured servants}} (from [[Auressia]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Surucia]]) arrived soon after. These institutions would result in a boom of {{wp|cash crop}} and {{wp|monoculture|monocultural}} {{wp|plantation|plantation farming}}, including sugar, coffee, and fruits. By the late 17th century, almost all of the native population had died from disease or deliberate attacks by the settlers. <br />
<br />
Cooperation emerged between the Tyrnican and Rythene populations, forming a distinct [[#Culture|Nova Koravian identity]]. During the [[Tyrno-Rythenean Wars]], the Rythenean controlled islands were taken and the archipelago was reorganized under the single [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Colonial_Governors|Governor of Nova Kovaria]]. Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to [[Audonia]] for a long-term partnership. Turmoil in Aurdonia and unrest in the islands, however, would lead to independence in 1868 as the [[Nova_Kovaria#First Republic|First Republic of Nova Kovaria]]. This republic would eventually fall to a coup after Audonian intervention in 1882, and then again in 1890, before being restored during the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]] in 1921.<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Developed_country|developed nation}} and has a broad {{wp|Secondary sector of the economy|manufacturing sector}}, including {{wp|High_tech|high-tech}}, {{wp|petrochemical}}, {{wp|pharmaceutical}}, and {{wp|Outline_of_industrial_machinery|industrial machinery}} industries. It also retains robust {{wp|Financial_services|financial}} and {{wp|Tertiary_sector_of_the_economy|service}} sectors, as well as an emerging {{wp|Space_industry|spaceflight industry}}. {{wp|Tourism#Significance of tourism|Tourism}} is also a large industry, though it is highly localized and often not the focus of the nation. For the most part, agriculture has been superseded by manufacturing, and much of the islands’ food is imported. A lack of other {{wp|Natural resource|natural resources}} has created a deficit to import the raw materials and basic goods needed for Nova Kovaria’s manufacturing. {{wp|Fossil_fuel|Fossil fuels}}, especially, are a significant portion of its international trade.</onlyinclude><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name "Nova Kovaria" is a {{wp|Latinisation_of_names|Latinization}} of "New Kovaar" and is the recognized Rythenean-language name for the nation. In Tyrnican the name is "Niuwekovår" which is a direct translation of "New Kovaar". The nation's name originally came from the charter establishing the [[Nova_Kovaria#Colonial Period|Governorship of Nova Kovaria]], which named the colony after old [[Kovaar]] in Tyrnica. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the name predates the charter, with some older documents referring to the region as "Nova Kovaar", "Ruminselien", and "Friedericksland".<br />
<br />
There exists a contemporary movement to rename the country as part of a broader effort to [[Wikipedia:Decolonization|decolonialize]] it. Some proposed alternatives include Aspire (from [[Nova Kovaria#Aspire Island|Aspire Island]]), Halcyon, and Goldshore. This movement has, thus far, seen limited success and is widely considered a fringe movement.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
With the breakout of the [[Tea War]], further unrest related to the solidification of the Nova Kovarian identity, and an increasing desire by Tyrnica to lure Audonia into a partnership, the [[Library:Kovarian Agreement|Kovarian Agreement]] was signed in 1854. This agreement transferred the ownership of Nova Kovaria to Audonia in exchange for assistance in future conflicts. <br />
<br />
=== Accords Period ===<br />
As part of its independence, a series of asymetrical treaties, known collectively as the [[Audonian-Kovarian Accords]], were imposed on Nova Kovaria by Audonia under the guise of protecting the new country from [[Albrennia|Albrennian]] influence. This included a number of requirements and stipulations on Nova Kovaria, including a permanent Audonian naval base on [[Nova Kovaria#Pilger's Island|Pilger's Island]], Audonian oversight on trade and diplomatic agreements, and a mandatory consultation and first-offer role for any new industrial ventures. Audonia also reserved the right of intervention in Nova Kovaria if it believed it necessary, either politically or militarily. <br />
<br />
Intervention was formally attempted in 1882 as internal unrest reached a boiling point. Spearheaded by anti-Audonian insurgent groups, bombings, assassinations, and even skirmishes became commonplace. Pro-independence political factions also experienced growing influence and support. This ultimately led to the bombing of Audonia's naval base on Pilger's Island, orchestrated by the Freikovårarmee (FKA) and Rum Legion. After the bombing, Audonia deployed forces to the islands to suppress the insurgents and restore order. At the same time, elements within the Nova Kovarian army ousted President Erhardt Uchtmann and dissolved parliament, establishing a pro-Audonia [[Wikipedia:Military_junta|military junta]]. This marked the end of the First Republic and reasserted Audonia's hold over the island for the time being.<br />
<br />
Insurgent groups continued operating despite the new government's attempts to seek out and eliminate resistance, however. By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution of the Accords ===<br />

<onlyinclude>'''Nova Koravia''' ({{wp|Germanic_languages|Tyrnican}}: ''Niuwekovår''), officially the '''Republic of Nova Kovaria''' (''Republik Niuwekovår'') is an {{wp|Island_country|island country}} located in the [[Rum Gulf]]. Its closest neighbor is [[Saint-Baptiste]], with whom it shares the [[Rum Islands]] archipelago. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands. Its capital is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Augusta|Augusta]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Aspire_Island|Aspire Island]] and its largest city is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Freeport|Freeport]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Sankt_Mark|Sainkt Mark]].<br />
<br />
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, [[Tyrnica|Tyrnican]] and [[Rythene|Rythenean]] settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements across the archipelago. {{wp|Slavery#Chattel_slavery|Chattel slaves}} (from [[Idica]]) and {{wp|Indentured_servitude|indentured servants}} (from [[Auressia]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Surucia]]) arrived soon after. These institutions would result in a boom of {{wp|cash crop}} and {{wp|monoculture|monocultural}} {{wp|plantation|plantation farming}}, including sugar, coffee, and fruits. By the late 17th century, almost all of the native population had died from disease or deliberate attacks by the settlers. <br />
<br />
Cooperation emerged between the Tyrnican and Rythene populations, forming a distinct [[#Culture|Nova Koravian identity]]. During the [[Tyrno-Rythenean Wars]], the Rythenean controlled islands were taken and the archipelago was reorganized under the single [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Colonial_Governors|Governor of Nova Kovaria]]. Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to [[Audonia]] for a long-term partnership. Turmoil in Aurdonia and unrest in the islands, however, would lead to independence in 1868 as the [[Nova_Kovaria#First Republic|First Republic of Nova Kovaria]]. This republic would eventually fall to a coup after Audonian intervention in 1882, and then again in 1890, before being restored during the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]] in 1921.<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Developed_country|developed nation}} and has a broad {{wp|Secondary sector of the economy|manufacturing sector}}, including {{wp|High_tech|high-tech}}, {{wp|petrochemical}}, {{wp|pharmaceutical}}, and {{wp|Outline_of_industrial_machinery|industrial machinery}} industries. It also retains robust {{wp|Financial_services|financial}} and {{wp|Tertiary_sector_of_the_economy|service}} sectors, as well as an emerging {{wp|Space_industry|spaceflight industry}}. {{wp|Tourism#Significance of tourism|Tourism}} is also a large industry, though it is highly localized and often not the focus of the nation. For the most part, agriculture has been superseded by manufacturing, and much of the islands’ food is imported. A lack of other {{wp|Natural resource|natural resources}} has created a deficit to import the raw materials and basic goods needed for Nova Kovaria’s manufacturing. {{wp|Fossil_fuel|Fossil fuels}}, especially, are a significant portion of its international trade.</onlyinclude><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name "Nova Kovaria" is a {{wp|Latinisation_of_names|Latinization}} of "New Kovaar" and is the recognized Rythenean-language name for the nation. In Tyrnican the name is "Niuwekovår" which is a direct translation of "New Kovaar". The nation's name originally came from the charter establishing the [[Nova_Kovaria#Colonial Period|Governorship of Nova Kovaria]], which named the colony after old [[Kovaar]] in Tyrnica. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the name predates the charter, with some older documents referring to the region as "Nova Kovaar", "Ruminselien", and "Friedericksland".<br />
<br />
There exists a contemporary movement to rename the country as part of a broader effort to [[Wikipedia:Decolonization|decolonialize]] it. Some proposed alternatives include Aspire (from [[Nova Kovaria#Aspire Island|Aspire Island]]), Halcyon, and Goldshore. This movement has, thus far, seen limited success and is widely considered a fringe movement.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
With the breakout of the [[Tea War]], further unrest related to the solidification of the Nova Kovarian identity, and an increasing desire by Tyrnica to lure Audonia into a partnership, the [[Library:Kovarian Agreement|Kovarian Agreement]] was signed in 1854. This agreement transferred the ownership of Nova Kovaria to Audonia in exchange for assistance in future conflicts. <br />
<br />
=== Accords Period ===<br />
As part of its independence, a series of asymetrical treaties, known collectively as the [[Audonian-Kovarian Accords]], were imposed on Nova Kovaria by Audonia under the guise of protecting the new country from [[Albrennia|Albrennian]] influence. This included a number of requirements and stipulations on Nova Kovaria, including a permanent Audonian naval base on [[Nova Kovaria#Pilger's Island|Pilger's Island]], Audonian oversight on trade and diplomatic agreements, and a mandatory consultation and first-offer role for any new industrial ventures. Audonia also reserved the right of intervention in Nova Kovaria if it believed it necessary, either politically or militarily. <br />
<br />
Intervention was formally attempted in 1882 as internal unrest reached a boiling point. Spearheaded by anti-Audonian insurgent groups, bombings, assassinations, and even skirmishes became commonplace. Pro-independence political factions also experienced growing influence and support. This ultimately led to the bombing of Audonia's naval base on Pilger's Island, orchestrated by the Freikovårarmee (FKA) and Rum Legion. After the bombing, Audonia deployed forces to the islands to suppress the insurgents and restore order. At the same time, elements within the Nova Kovarian army ousted President Erhardt Uchtmann and dissolved parliament, establishing a pro-Audonia [[Wikipedia:Military_junta|military junta]]. This marked the end of the First Republic and reasserted Audonia's hold over the island for the time being.<br />
<br />
Insurgent groups continued operating despite the new government's attempts to seek out and eliminate resistance, however. By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution of the Accords ===<br />
<br />
[[File:NovaKovaria Andrew-Thurmond.png|thumb|left|180px|President Andrew Thurmond]]<br />
<br />
Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule.<br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />
<br />
=== Great Wars ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />

==Government and Politics== <br />
{{Main|Politics of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
{{Prime Minister and President of Nova Kovaria}}<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Representative_democracy|representative democratic}} republic with a {{wp|Unitary_state|unitary}} {{wp|Parliamentary_system|parliamentary}} system of government. The Constitution of 1921 established the current political system. The legislative branch of the government, the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Parliament|Nova Kovarian Parliament]], is a {{wp|Bicameralism|bicameral}} body consisting of the {{wp|upper house}}, the 25-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Assembly|Assembly]], and the {{wp|lower house}}, the 120-member [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Senate|Senate]]. As prescribed by the Constitution, members of the Assembly are directly elected by the people through {{wp|instant-runoff voting}}, while Senate seats are awarded through {{wp|party-list proportional representation}}. There is a 1% {{wp|electoral threshold}} for parties to receive representation in the Senate.<br />
<br />
{{Template:Parties in the Nova Kovarian Legislature}} <br />
<br />
Assembly members serve {{wp|Staggered elections|staggered}} 8-year terms, with half of the Assembly up for election every 4 years. Since 1967, Assembly members have been restricted to two terms in office. The Senate is nominally scheduled to hold elections every 4 years after a previous Senate election. However, the government can be dissolved early by a {{wp|Motion_of_no_confidence|no-confidence vote}} by the Senate or a dissolution motion by the Assembly signed by the President.<br />
<br />
The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#President|President]] is the {{wp|head of state}} and is elected directly by instant-runoff voting for a 6-year term, with no term limit.

The [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] is the {{wp|head of government}} and is appointed by a majority of the Senate. Cabinet ministers, who are appointed by the Senate, form the executive body together with the Prime Minister. The President and Prime Minister are currently [[Laura Pastor]] and [[Jonas Granger]], respectively.<br />
<br />
The highest {{wp|judicial}} body in Nova Kovaria is the [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]], which has explicit {{wp|judicial review}} power provided by the Constitution. The court is composed of five justices appointed by the Assembly for a single term of 18 years. The court's agenda is determined by the Chief Justice, a position rotated between the serving justices once a year.<br />
<br />
===Foreign Relations & Military=== <br />
Nova Kovaria maintains diplomatic relations with almost all of the [[List_of_countries_(Levilion|world's nations]]. It is a member of the [[Assembly of Marceaunian States]]. Nova Kovaria has had close ties with the [[Commonwealth of Northern Auressia]] since the organization's founding, providing the organization with a launch site for its satellite and spaceflight ventures. <br />
<br />
In recent decades, the country has developed a close alliance with its former suzerain [[Audonia]]. Special border agreements allow the for relatively easy travel between the two countries, which has resulted in Audonia becoming Nova Kovaria's largest trading partner. This alliance has grown to include annual naval exercises in the Rum Gulf, as well as the reopening of the Port Bartholomew Naval Base to the local economy. Nova Kovarian and Audonian military forces have heavily integrated their military {{wp|Command_and_control|command and control}}.<br />

Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule.<br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />
<br />
=== Great Wars ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />

<onlyinclude>'''Nova Koravia''' ({{wp|Germanic_languages|Tyrnican}}: ''Niuwekovår''), officially the '''Republic of Nova Kovaria''' (''Republik Niuwekovår'') is an {{wp|Island_country|island country}} located in the [[Rum Gulf]]. Its closest neighbor is [[Saint-Baptiste]], with whom it shares the [[Rum Islands]] archipelago. It has a population of 6,756,433 people spread across 3 major and numerous minor islands. Its capital is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Augusta|Augusta]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Aspire_Island|Aspire Island]] and its largest city is [[Cities of Nova Kovaria#Freeport|Freeport]] on [[Nova_Kovaria#Sankt_Mark|Sainkt Mark]].<br />
<br />
Home to native peoples since at least the 1st century, [[Tyrnica|Tyrnican]] and [[Rythene|Rythenean]] settlers arrived in the early-mid 17th century, haphazardly establishing settlements across the archipelago. {{wp|Slavery#Chattel_slavery|Chattel slaves}} (from [[Idica]]) and {{wp|Indentured_servitude|indentured servants}} (from [[Auressia]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Surucia]]) arrived soon after. These institutions would result in a boom of {{wp|cash crop}} and {{wp|monoculture|monocultural}} {{wp|plantation|plantation farming}}, including sugar, coffee, and fruits. By the late 17th century, almost all of the native population had died from disease or deliberate attacks by the settlers. <br />
<br />
Cooperation emerged between the Tyrnican and Rythene populations, forming a distinct [[#Culture|Nova Koravian identity]]. During the [[Tyrno-Rythenean Wars]], the Rythenean controlled islands were taken and the archipelago was reorganized under the single [[Politics_of_Nova_Kovaria#Colonial_Governors|Governor of Nova Kovaria]]. Tyrnican rule would last until 1854 when the islands were traded to [[Audonia]] for a long-term partnership. Turmoil in Aurdonia and unrest in the islands, however, would lead to independence in 1868 as the [[Nova_Kovaria#First Republic|First Republic of Nova Kovaria]]. This republic would eventually fall to a coup after Audonian intervention in 1882, and then again in 1890, before being restored during the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]] in 1921.<br />
<br />
Nova Kovaria is a {{wp|Developed_country|developed nation}} and has a broad {{wp|Secondary sector of the economy|manufacturing sector}}, including {{wp|High_tech|high-tech}}, {{wp|petrochemical}}, {{wp|pharmaceutical}}, and {{wp|Outline_of_industrial_machinery|industrial machinery}} industries. It also retains robust {{wp|Financial_services|financial}} and {{wp|Tertiary_sector_of_the_economy|service}} sectors, as well as an emerging {{wp|Space_industry|spaceflight industry}}. {{wp|Tourism#Significance of tourism|Tourism}} is also a large industry, though it is highly localized and often not the focus of the nation. For the most part, agriculture has been superseded by manufacturing, and much of the islands’ food is imported. A lack of other {{wp|Natural resource|natural resources}} has created a deficit to import the raw materials and basic goods needed for Nova Kovaria’s manufacturing. {{wp|Fossil_fuel|Fossil fuels}}, especially, are a significant portion of its international trade.</onlyinclude><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The name "Nova Kovaria" is a {{wp|Latinisation_of_names|Latinization}} of "New Kovaar" and is the recognized Rythenean-language name for the nation. In Tyrnican the name is "Niuwekovår" which is a direct translation of "New Kovaar". The nation's name originally came from the charter establishing the [[Nova_Kovaria#Colonial Period|Governorship of Nova Kovaria]], which named the colony after old [[Kovaar]] in Tyrnica. Some uncertainty exists as to whether the name predates the charter, with some older documents referring to the region as "Nova Kovaar", "Ruminselien", and "Friedericksland".<br />
<br />
There exists a contemporary movement to rename the country as part of a broader effort to [[Wikipedia:Decolonization|decolonialize]] it. Some proposed alternatives include Aspire (from [[Nova Kovaria#Aspire Island|Aspire Island]]), Halcyon, and Goldshore. This movement has, thus far, seen limited success and is widely considered a fringe movement.<br />
<br />
==History== <br />
With the breakout of the [[Tea War]], further unrest related to the solidification of the Nova Kovarian identity, and an increasing desire by Tyrnica to lure Audonia into a partnership, the [[Library:Kovarian Agreement|Kovarian Agreement]] was signed in 1854. This agreement transferred the ownership of Nova Kovaria to Audonia in exchange for assistance in future conflicts. <br />
<br />
=== Accords Period ===<br />
As part of its independence, a series of asymetrical treaties, known collectively as the [[Audonian-Kovarian Accords]], were imposed on Nova Kovaria by Audonia under the guise of protecting the new country from [[Albrennia|Albrennian]] influence. This included a number of requirements and stipulations on Nova Kovaria, including a permanent Audonian naval base on [[Nova Kovaria#Pilger's Island|Pilger's Island]], Audonian oversight on trade and diplomatic agreements, and a mandatory consultation and first-offer role for any new industrial ventures. Audonia also reserved the right of intervention in Nova Kovaria if it believed it necessary, either politically or militarily. <br />
<br />
Intervention was formally attempted in 1882 as internal unrest reached a boiling point. Spearheaded by anti-Audonian insurgent groups, bombings, assassinations, and even skirmishes became commonplace. Pro-independence political factions also experienced growing influence and support. This ultimately led to the bombing of Audonia's naval base on Pilger's Island, orchestrated by the Freikovårarmee (FKA) and Rum Legion. After the bombing, Audonia deployed forces to the islands to suppress the insurgents and restore order. At the same time, elements within the Nova Kovarian army ousted President Erhardt Uchtmann and dissolved parliament, establishing a pro-Audonia [[Wikipedia:Military_junta|military junta]]. This marked the end of the First Republic and reasserted Audonia's hold over the island for the time being.<br />
<br />
Insurgent groups continued operating despite the new government's attempts to seek out and eliminate resistance, however. By 1889, it became clear that unrest within the country was threatening a full civil war. Facing extreme internal pressures and elements within the army threatening another coup, the junta organized elections scheduled for 1890. While many groups called for the boycotting of what was seen as simply a means for the junta to establish a popular mandate, and strongarm tactics by both sides to influence the results, turnout reached well over 80%. In the end the anti-Audonia faction received a significant majority, especially amongst the army, significantly crippling the junta's ability to remain in power.<br />
<br />
=== Dissolution of the Accords ===<br />
Concerned about this result and the rapid loss of Audonian influence on Nova Kovaria, Audonia again attempted to intervene militarily. Unlike the first intervention, however, the nation had rallied and with the pro-Audonian generals ousted could mount a major resistance. Despite Audonian claims that the election had been embroiled in fraud, and accusations that the anti-Audonian faction was closely tied to the FKA and Rum Legion, Audonia also faced significant international criticism for their attempt to interfere in an independent nation's political process. Both of these together would result in the intervention's failure. Subsequently, the Audonia-Kovaria Accords would be dismantled and renegotiated under Audonia's 'Good Neighbor' policy from 1890 to 1950, resulting in Nova Kovaria's full independence. Despite the victory against Audonia, the anti-Audonian government would fall into infighting and a second coup would place President Andrew Thurmond in power. While not as brutal as the military junta, Thurmond oversaw the persecution of those who had supported Audonian rule. <br />
<br />
=== August Revolution ===<br />
Thurmond would remain in power until 1921, when the [[Nova_Kovaria#August_Revolution|August Revolution]], beginning on the 10th of August, ousted Thurmond and established the Second Republic.<br />
<br />
=== Great Wars ===<br />
During the [[First Great War (Levilion)|First Great War]], Nova Kovaria maintained strict neutrality in an effort to appease both of its ethnic Rytheneans and Tyrnicans. This was made difficult due to pressure from Audonia, eventually culminating in the back-room utilization of the Audonian-Kovarian Accords by Audonia to send funds to the [[First Great War (Levilion)#Galene League|Galene League]] through Nova Kovaria's banks. This funneling of money would not be revealed until 2006.<br />
