Lemovicia (Gaullican: Lemovicie, Lemovician: Lemovica) is a country located in Euclea, bordered to the east by Gaullica, to the south by Amathia, to the west by (TBC) and to the north by Lake Coi.
Etymology
The area of Lemovicia was the named after the Lemovices, a Tenic tribe inhabiting the present-day region of Lemovicia at the time of the Solarian Empire. The name of the Lemovices derive from the term lemo, meaning elm, and vices, meaning "those who win," which indicates that the Lemovices meant "winners with elm," due to their weaponry being made of elm.
History
Prehistory
Solarian Empire
Solarians conquer area, settlement generally along flatter areas, hill regions left alone, but extensive contacts between Tenics and Solarians ensue, Sotirianity comes in
Middle Ages
Following the collapse of the Solarian Empire, much of present-day Lemovicia fell under the control of the Empire of Arciluco, as... (TBC)
probable tensions between the Empire of Arciluco and the Kingdom of Gaullica over the land, chieftains switch sides depending on what is more advantageous, then following Arciluco's collapse around 1000, the Kingdom of Lemovicia is founded by Ruari Matír
in 1400s or 1500s, Gaullican King is elected by the Tenic chiefs, personal union with Gaullica established
Renaissance
integration with Gaullica, probably end of the Kingdom of Lemovicia in the 1600s as Gaullican Kings seek to integrate it into Gaullica proper
Industrial Revolution
increased migration from Gaullica, increasing Gallicization of Lemovicia, native Lemovician language is threatened by increasing Gaullican population
War for Independence
as the Great War wears on, Oin Maruari and (TBD) establish (TBC) to fight against Gaullica and establish a sovereign Lemovician state
Rule of Oin Maruari
Oin Maruari drafts up a Constitution of Lemovicia, establishes a state along national syndicalist lines, country was relatively stagnant during this period, rules until his death in 1976 at the age of 93
Transition to democracy
Oin Maruari succeeded by Lúkás Mahoin, Constitution of Lemovicia amended so to establish an elected legislative chamber, grants equal status to women and to non-Lemovicians, national syndicalist policies repealed, capitalism welcomed, Or becomes something like prime minister instead of vice-president
Contemporary era
joins the Euclean Community in 1996 after meeting all requirements, democracy is stable with a two-party system
Geography
flat in the north and east along the shores of Lake Coi (Gaullican: Lac coi, Lemovician: Lohan Bledhínu) and border with Gaullica, hilly in the west and center, maybe south too
Climate
probably slightly colder than Amathia or Gaullica because it's landlocked
Economy
For much of Lemovicia's history, the economy of the area was largely based off of agriculture, with fertile valleys along the shores of Lake Coi and the rivers emptying into Lake Coi helping provide the area with much of their income. While forestry was significant, by the eighteenth century, much of the primeval forests had been cut down.
However, with the discovery of coal and iron, the economy of Lemovicia shifted as these materials were vital for the industrialization of certain countries, especially of Gaullica, which Lemovicia was part of at the time. With this migration, a manufacturing sector emerged, although compared to the rest of Gaullica, this sector was small.
Following Lemovicia's independence from Gaullica, its economy became largely based on the extraction of coal and iron, as its manufacturing sector was destroyed by the Great War. While the manufacturing sector was rebuilt in the 1940s, it played a smaller role in the national economy than what it used to.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the economy shifted dramatically, as the service sector became the largest sector of the economy, as factories were shuttered, and both coal and iron ran out.
Lemovicia uses the euclo. Prior to the adoption of the euclo, it used the Lemovician canek (₵).
Politics
Lemovicia is a unitary constitutional monarchy, with the head of state being the monarch, currently Lúkás Mahoin, who has reigned since 1976, and the head of government being Or Jean-Pierre Baillairgé, who was first elected in 2019.
Lemovicia is a two-party system, with the left-wing Workers Party and the right-wing Cingeth being represented in both chambers of the Máisamu.
Monarchy
The official executive of Lemovicia is the monarch (Gaullican: roi, Lemovician: rik). According to the Constitution of Lemovicia, the monarch is to be a ceremonial position, with the monarch serving as head of state.
The monarch is an elective monarchy, with the new monarch elected from among the Téina ken. The most recent monarchical succession was in 1976, when Oin Maruari died, and was succeeded by his nephew, Lúkás Mahoin, who has continued his reign to this day.
Legislature
The legislative body of Lemovicia is known as the Máisamu.
The upper house is the Chamber of the Clans (Gaullican: Chambre des clans, Lemovician: Téina ken), whose members are all heads of the 219 recognized Lemovician clans. It is headed by the Lemovician Rik.
The lower house of the Máisamu is the Chamber of the People (Gaullican: Chambre populaire, Lemovician: Téina tóf), which is elected every four years since its establishment in 1979, and comprises of five hundred elected members. As of 2019, the current head of the House of the People, and the current Or is Jean-Pierre Baillairgé.
Legal system
As a former part of the Solarian Empire, Lemovician law is heavily based off of Solarian law, with it being greatly influenced by civil law as applied to Gaullica.
Following its independence, Lemovician law was heavily influenced by national syndicalist principles, with the legal system being used to justify totalitarianism under the rule of Oin Maruari. After Oin's death in 1976, these policies have been removed, and now, there is very little national syndicalist influence on Lemovician laws remaining in effect.
The court system is structured like most other countries following Solarian law and civil law.
Policing in Lemovicia is provided by the Lemovician Police Force, while defense of Lemovicia is provided by the Lemovician Armed Forces.
Administrative divisions
Lemovicia is divided into five nuko (Gaullican: région, pl. nakis), covering the entire country. The nakis date back to the original Kingdom of Lemovicia, and were reinstated following Lemovicia's independence from Gaullica in 1936.

Demographics
Ethnicity
As of the 2017 census, around 65% of the population, or 6,176,675 people are of Gaullican descent, mostly concentrated in the northern and eastern regions of Lemovicia. While many of them were assimilated Solarians who adopted a Gaullican identity as a result of Gaullican policies from the seventeenth century onwards, many of them were migrants from Gaullica proper who settled during the industrial revolution.
The next largest ethnicity, at around 30% of the population, or 2,850,773 people, are the Lemovicians, who are a Tenic group and are one of the few surviving Tenic peoples who speak a Western Tenic language, as opposed to an Eastern Tenic language, Lemovician. They are mostly concentrated in the western regions of the country.
Two percent of the population, or 190,052 people, are Amathians, who predominantly reside in the southern regions of Lemovicia near the border with Amathia. Finally, the remaining three percent of the population, or 285,277 people belong to a wide array of ethnic groups, mostly recent immigrants from other Euclean Community states besides Gaullica and Amathia.
Religion
As of the 2017 census, around 96% of the population, or 9,122,474 people, are adherents to Sotirianity.
The largest sect of Sotirianity is the Solarian Catholic Church, with 55% of Lemovicia's population, or 5,226,417 people, adhering to the Solarian Catholic faith, with virtually all of them being ethnic Gaullicans. Until its independence from Gaullica in 1936, the Solarian Catholic Church was the official religion of the area, and policies had been made to promote it at the expense of all other faiths in the region.
The next largest sect is the High Episimialist Church, with 40% of the population, or 3,801,031 people, adhering to the Episimialist Church, with most Lemovicians and Amathians adhering to the High Episimialist Church. From its independence in 1936 until 1982, the High Episimialist Church was the official religion of Lemovicia, with practice of non-Episimialist religions heavily restricted.
Finally, the remainder of the Sotirian population adhere to other sects of Sotirianity, such as (TBD).
The remaining four percent of the national population, or 380,103 people, are split roughly evenly, with 190,054 being irreligious, and 190,049 people following other religions, primarily neo-paganism.
Language
Officially, Lemovicia has been a bilingual country since 1979, with the two official languages being the Solarian Gaullican language and the Tenic Lemovician language.
As of the 2017 census, around 70% of the population, or 6,651,804 people, reported Gaullican to be their first language, while around 25% of the population, or 2,375,644 people, reported Lemovician as their first language.
Of the remaining five percent of the national population, around two percent of the population, or 190,051 people reported speaking Amathian as their first language, one percent, or 95,026 people, reported speaking Antóf as their first language, and the remainder reported other languages as their first language.
Around 98% of the population, or 9,312,526 people, report that they can comfortably communicate in both official languages, while only 0.04% of the population, or 4,751 people cannot speak either official language.
