History
Prehistory
Human remains dating back around 22,000 years old were found in the Verrandelle cave systems in southern Ravetia in late 2003. The first Ravetians, as determined by their fossils, would later on move towards the Buccigna plains and would eventually reach the coasts of the Central Ocean in the now modern day city of Prinz Avegono.
The first civilisation in Ravetia to form was the Cirvichi, a mountain tribe that lived around the Cirvin river and the Valkenzan Passage. The Cirvichi were estimated to have been formed around the year 1000 BCE according to the little hieroglyphics that were found in ruins around the area. The Cirvichi are considered the first Proto-Ravetians as they were the first to begin a campaign of conquest of the surrounding areas, also founding the first permanent settlements.
Coastal settlements were uncommon due to the turbulent weather conditions. The only record from around 789 BCE from the Cirvichi Epic mentioned the mysterious loss of the Vurv tribe that inhabited the area near modern day Varvz-Evonia. Among superstitious beliefs and hostile environmental conditions, the coastlines of Ravetia would remain uninhabited for numerous centuries with little incentive to try to inhabit the area.
Ancient Era
The death of the Cirvichi at the end of the 6th century BCE would plunge the early Ravetians into an era of darkness, resulting in the loss of plenty of historical records of the tribe. Those tribes who had interaction with the Cirvichi would go on to adopt some of the customs and primarily, the crow worship that allowed the Cirvivchi Epic to survive. The successor civilisation of Cuzzui went on to expand on the crow worship, investing their time into establishing a service of missionaries to prophesy the word of the Crow Mother.
19th Century
The industrialisation that initiated near the end of the 18th century brought with it turbulence to the Ravetian society as a whole. While it lagged behind with its neighbours, Ravetia managed to maintain a semblance of political stability that allowed it to grow during the era.
Government & Politics
Ravetia is a unitary parliamentary republic with division of powers followed by the tripartite system, with a dual executive executive system with the president taking role of head of state and the prime minister as the head of government. The cabinet is formed by several directories, with some directors positioned on a similar level of hierarchy as both the prime minister and the president. The current Ravetia constitution was established in 1857 that establishes the basic laws and political structure of the nation.
The executive power is conformed of the president, prime minister and the directories while the legislative power is controlled by a unicameral parliament. The Ravetian Parliament has a total of 600 seats who are elected every 4 years with a total of 100 electoral districts. The judiciary is independent, headed by two supreme judges elected by the Council of Courts that encompasses every district court that exists in Ravetia. Supreme judges are elected for life although the Parliament reserves the right to remove the appointee if the president and parliament both agree to the proposal. This rule also applies to the prime minister and president. Historically, this has only happened once, which resulted to the 1857 Constitutional Crisis and subsequent reform.
Politics
Ravetia's political history was formed largely by its three largest parties: the Federalists, Forza Nacionale and the Unionists. These three political parties have dominated Ravetian politics since the 1980s and currently hold a total of 584/600 seats in parliament. There are minor parties, most of which are local groups that demand more political autonomy or separatist movements.
Political Parties
The Federalists are considered centre-right on the political spectrum and are well known for supporting a more decentralised government, striving to delegate more political power to provinces and districts. Because of this, the Federalists have been attempting to reform the unitary state to a federal one ever since their founding, thus attributing this sole cause to the origin of their name.
Forza Nacionale, previously known as the Conservatives, are a more right-wing political party and one of the oldest parties in Ravetia. Forza Nacionale looks to keep the country in a status quo in political and governmental terms and were avidly against the political reforms made in 1857.

Economy
Economic growth since 2008 has maintained a steady growth contributing to the nation's high index of human development and high income mixed economy. In 2018, the GDP (PPP) is of ₺ 11.865 trillion with a GDP per capita (PPP) of ₺ 503,883. Ravetia is considered a middle income economy with a current recorded economic growth of 3.5%.
In 1968, Ravetia suffered a severe economic crisis mostly due to the lack of modern infrastructure and increasingly expensive manufacturing costs. The Economic Modernisation Act of 1971 introduced some emergency economic stability measures, which lead to the outsourcing of a grand majority of the Ravetian manufacturing base to Nameria and the sell of several state-owned enterprises. Other incentives were implemented, such as the introduction of semi-computerised automation, economic subsidies for STEM related studies and a revitalisation of the national infrastructure. Despite some successful results, Ravetia was left with a rather extensive public deficit that has only been decreased within the last decade.
Results of the extensive economic restructuring resulted fruitful by the early 1990s. Ravetia boasted a healthy, but much reduced manufacturing based, a modernised agricultural base and an ever increasing services base. The years from 1989 to 1996 had the highest reported economic growth percentage and a low unemployment rate. 1994 was the year with the highest economic growth, with a reported 9%, according to the Directory of Economy.
