'''Juznia''' (Juznik: ''Juznija''), officially the '''Juznik Republic''' (Juznik: ''Juznikijos Respublika'') is a country in eastern [[Asura]]. It is bordered by [[Hytekia]] to the south, [[Leidense Republic]] to the east, and the [[Gulf of Alemannia]] to the West. Juznia's territory spans 00,000 kilometers and is mostly TBD. The population is around 12.7 million and consists mostly of {{wp|Lithuanians|Juzniks}} with a significant {{wp|Latvians|Hytek}} minority. The capital and largest city is [[Višnevas]]. The official language is {{wp|Lithuanian language|Juznik}}.
'''Juznia''' (Juznik: ''Juznija''), officially the '''Juznik Republic''' (Juznik: ''Juznikijos Respublika'') is a country in northern [[Erdara]] in [[Gaia]]. It is bordered by The Sea to the north and west, [[Mascylla]] to the east and [[Hytekia]] to the south. Juznia's territory spans 00,000 km2 (00,000 sq mi) and is mostly hills and lowlands. The population is around 14 million and consists mostly of {{wp|Lithuanians|Juzniks}} with a significant {{wp|Latvians|Hytek}} minority. The capital and largest city is [[Višnevas]]. The official language is {{wp|Lithuanian language|Juznik}}.


The first mention of the Juzniks came from Hytek documents dated in the 14th century. The Duchy of Višnevas appeared around the turn of the 15th century and by 1439 it held control over most of present-day Juznia. As the Margraviate of Hajmatland began to grow it expanded into the Duchy and the Duchy entered into a long and protracted decline. By the 17th century the Duchy had essentially become a puppet-state of the Margraviate of Hajmatland. In 1860, Johannes Melderis, the Margrave of Hajmatland, became the Duke of Višnevas. Once his son, Johannes IV of Hajmatland, came to power the two nations were brought closer together and in 1884 they unified to form the [[Kingdom of Hytekojuznia]].
Under the new Kingdom many Juzniks migrated south to cities such as [[Krasno]] and [[Pekrasta]] in search of employment in these industrialised cities. In 1896, Hytekojuznia joined the Great War on the side of the [[Veleazan Empire]] and the Concordat fighting on the Alemannic front of the war. However, in 1900 Krasno fell and the Kingdom was forced to surrender. The post-war Kingdom was extremely fragile and in 1913 a communist uprising overthrew the King and installed the [[People's State of Hytekojuznia]]. In the early years the People's State enjoyed rapid industrialisation at the expense of the agricultural sector and leading to the famine of 1916. bla bla bla ASU warsaw pact thing bla bla 1981 fall of ASU bla bla 1986 war of indy 1989 indy.

With the end of the Ragucin Empire new states began to form in modern-day Juznik territory, the most prominent of these was the Duchy of Višnevas. At its height the Duchy controlled vast amounts of territory in southern and eastern Juznia with it's northernmost point being the town of [[Ariogala]] and it's southernmost point being the town of [[Klinkos]], it also controlled towns such as [[Ukmergė]], [[Kalvarija]] and [[Simnas]] with it's main settlement being [[Višnevas]], the modern-day capital of Juznia. Furthermore many surrounding towns and cities such as [[Karsuva]] became highly dependent on the Duchy. With the growing power of the [[Margraviate of Ezeravira]] between the 16th and early 19th century the Duchy began to lose a grip over it's territory and entered a protracted decline. By the 1810s the Duchy had become a vassal state of Hytekia and in 1860 the Margrave of Hytekia, Johannes III, became the Duke of Višnevas. During the early years the Duchy maintained some independence but with the ascension of [[Johannes II|Johannes IV]] to the throne this came to an end. Hytekia and Višnevas were united as the Kingdom of Hytekojuznia.
