The '''Veton Republic''' ([[Javol language|Javol:]] ''Republica vetonien'', <small>pronounced: {{wpl|Help:IPA|[rə'pi.bli.kə və.tu'njen]}}</small>; {{wpl|French language|Iverdonian:}} ''République vétonienne'', <small>pronounced: {{wpl|Help:IPA/French|[ʁe.py.blik ve.to.njɛn]}}</small>), commonly referred to as '''Vetonia''' ([[Javol language|Javol:]] ''Vetoní'', <small>pronounced: {{wpl|Help:IPA|[vətu'ni]}}</small>; {{wpl|French language|Iverdonian:}} ''Vétonie'', <small>pronounced: {{wpl|Help:IPA/French|[ve.to.ni]}}</small>) is a {{wpl|sovereign state}} organised as a {{wpl|Federal republic|federal}} {{wpl|Parliamentary republic|parliamentary}} {{wpl|constitutional republic}} in [[Plateia|southern Plateia]]. The country borders [[Castelana]] to the west, [[xx]] to the east, [[Aesculia]] to the north-east and the [[Lautan Ocean]] to the south. The country covers an area of approximately 192,286 square kilometres (74,242 square miles) with a mostly {{wpl|temperate climate|temperate}}, {{wpl|oceanic climate}}. It has a population of over 23.6 million people. Its capital and largest city is [[Andraid]], with 1.7 million residents; other major cities include [[?]], [[?]] and [[?]].


Vetonia is divided into four constituent states (''païs'' in Javol, ''pays'' in Iverdonian), [[Vellavia]], [[Tosandria]], [[Iverdonia]] and [[Rodenia]]. These states are divided by language, [[Javol language|Javol-speaking]] [[Vellavia]] and [[Tosandria]], {{wpl|French language|Iverdonian-speaking}} [[Iverdonia]] and {{wpl|Piedmontese language|Rodenese-speaking}} [[Rodenia]]. There are also significant minorities of {{wpl|Celtic peoples|!Celtic}} [[Silurian people|Silurians]] in [[Vellavia]] and [[Tosandria]], as well as of [[Tarbel people|Tarbel]] in both Iverdonia and Rodenia.
Nearly all political families are divided along ethnic lines, with multiple parties catering similar ideological profiles to their respective ethnic groups. As a result, parties register as either Javol-Iverdonian, Rugrese, Brillian or Rodenese. Rugrese parties only operate in [[Vellavia]] and [[Tosandria]], whereas Brillian parties only run for election in [[Iverdonia]] and [[Rodenia]]. Rodenese parties operate solely in Rodenia, and nationalist Iverdonian parties, although they register as 'Javol-Iverdonian' only run in [[Iverdonia]]. Typically, most Javol-Iverdonian parties do not run in Rodenia, instead establishing electoral pacts with autochthonous parties. There is also a small number of parties, on the {{wpl|left-wing|left}} and {{wpl|far-left}} of the political spectrum that seek to appeal to voters from all of the country's five ethnic groups.  


''old history''
From the establishment of the country in 1917, there have been four main political families: {{wpl|Social democracy|social democrats}}, {{wpl|Liberalism|liberals}}, {{wpl|Agrarianism|agrarians}} and {{wpl|Christian democracy|religious parties}}. As early as 1920, however, the more extreme elements of the various social democratic parties split and formed a fifth political family, the {{wpl|communism|communist}}. Likewise, beginning with the 1930s, a sixth party family, a nationalist one, either more politically moderate or on the {{wpl|far-right}} surged. Lastly, beginning the 1970s, the rise of the {{wpl|New Left}} gave birth to two more political parties that appeal to all ethnic groups, the {{wpl|democratic socialism|democratic socialists}}, split from the [[Communist Party of the Peoples of Vetonia|PCPV]] and the [[Greens (Vetonia)|Greens]].


Vetonian independence from the [[Aesculia#History|Aesculian Empire]] was declared in 1911 by [[?]] and [[?]], although its independence would not be recognised until the signature of the [[Treaty of XX]] that ended the [[Great Continental War (Narisis)|Great Continental War]]. After independence, a democratic constitution was adopted in 1916 and in 1920, the territory of modern-day [[Rodenia]] was annexed following the [[xx conflict]]. The period between the 1930s to 1974 was marked by heightened tensions between the country's various ethnic groups fueled by unequal economic development and linguistic differences between communities. Far-reaching reforms enacted in 1958 and implemented during the 1960s mollified ethnic conflict and resulted in the transition of the country to a federal system. Ethnic and territorial tensions have subsued but continue to mark the country's political and social cleavages ({{wpl|pillarisation}}).

Vetonia is a federal state with a multi-party system governed along consociational lines. The divisions within ethnic groups along class lines renders impossible the formation of a majority government, instead coalition governments have been the norm since the founding of the country in 1917.

Nearly all political families are divided along ethnic lines, with multiple parties catering similar ideological profiles to their respective ethnic groups. As a result, parties register as either Javol-Iverdonian, Rugrese, Brillian or Rodenese. Rugrese parties only operate in Vellavia and Tosandria, whereas Brillian parties only run for election in Iverdonia and Rodenia. Rodenese parties operate solely in Rodenia, and nationalist Iverdonian parties, although they register as 'Javol-Iverdonian' only run in Iverdonia. Typically, most Javol-Iverdonian parties do not run in Rodenia, instead establishing electoral pacts with autochthonous parties. There is also a small number of parties, on the left and far-left of the political spectrum that seek to appeal to voters from all of the country's five ethnic groups.

From the establishment of the country in 1917, there have been four main political families: social democrats, liberals, agrarians and religious parties. As early as 1920, however, the more extreme elements of the various social democratic parties split and formed a fifth political family, the communist. Likewise, beginning with the 1930s, a sixth party family, a nationalist one, either more politically moderate or on the far-right surged. Lastly, beginning the 1970s, the rise of the New Left gave birth to two more political parties that appeal to all ethnic groups, the democratic socialists, split from the PCPV and the Greens.
