'''Luepola''', officially known as the '''Republic of Luepola''' (Luepolan: ''Respublika Ľupolska''), is a federal parliamentary republic located in East Patyria. It is divided into thirteen ''voblasts'' (states), two federal municipalities (Voitz and Prishek), and one disputed Special Administrative Zone (Gvazda), covers a total of __ square kilometers, and has a population of 79,406,594, making it the fourth most populous nation in Patyria, after [[Aemperya]], [[Legatia]], and [[Vierzland]]. Luepola's capital is Prishek (Luepolan: ''Prišek''), and its largest city is Voitz (Luepolan: ''Vojc''). Other notable Luepolan cities include Rostva, Pomorna, Hrdovna, Zvin, Grast, and Utrna.
'''Luepola''' ({{IPA-en|luˈpoʊlə|}}, {{lang-lupl|Ľupola|l}} {{IPAc-lupl|lj|u|'|p|o|l|a}} or {{IPAc-lupl|j|u|'|p|o|l|a}}), officially the '''Republic of Luepola''' ({{lang-lupl|Respublika Ľupolska}} {{IPAc-lupl|[]|rr|e|s|'|p|u|b|l|i|k|a|-|lj|u|'|p|o|l|s|k|a}}), is a sovereign state located in central [[Erisia]]. It is divided into [[List of Luepolan Voblasts|fifteen voblasts]] and two federal municipalities. Luepola's capital is [[Prishek]], and its largest city is [[Voitz]].
<!--
Luepola's territory was inhabited by numerous people groups, including {{wpl|Celts|Ardes}}, {{wpl|Germanic peoples|Veisics}}, and {{wpl|Phrygians|Morvones}}. The {{wpl|Slavs|Molves}} had migrated into the region by the 1st century BC and had risen to dominance in the region by 300 AD, though they were frequently subject to military campaigns by the [[Deoran Empire]]. Molvic tribes constituted a significant portion of [[Megenfrit|Megenfrit's]] army which [[Sack of Deora|sacked Deora]] and brought about the collapse of the [[Deoran Empire]]. Among these Molvic tribes were the [[Bosonii]] and [[Varadii]], who eventually settled in the regions of [[Bosunija]] and [[Varadna]] and evolved into the kingdoms of [[Kingdom of Varadna|Varadna]] and [[Kingdom of Strentland|Strentland]]. Explorers employed by Strentland in 1240 charted a direct naval route to [[Mahsadar]], establishing a regular trade between Patyria and [[Oridia]] that Strentland could significantly profit from and laying the groundwork for Luepola's future prosperity.
 
Luepola was first unified by Strentlandish king [[Genadi the Great]] through a personal union with [[Vladislava I]] of Varadna. The nascent [[Kingdom of Luepola]] fought a series of wars against its neighbors to secure its dominance over the [[East Patyrian Plain]] and naval trade between Patyria and Oridia. After the discovery and colonization of the [[The Artalias|Artalias]] ended West Patyrian reliance on trade through Luepola, the Kingdom fell into decline, ultimately collapsing in the [[Luepolan Revolution of 1818]] fueled by Luepolan popular support for republicanism. Luepola initially allied with the prominent [[Tierada|Tieradan]] republican [[Antonio de Caberra]] in the [[Caberran Wars]], but ultimately entered the [[Vierz Empire|Vierz]] coalition against Tierada to legitimize the new republican government within the established Patyrian order. Throughout the 19th century, Luepola would grow to become an important regional hub of {{wpl|Liberalism|liberal}} thought. Luepola also established an overseas colonial empire in West Oridia, and would later participate in the [[Patyrian colonization of Tusola]].
 
By the 1890s, Luepola fell under the sway of [[Artaud Flecques|Flecquist]] rhetoric, resulting in the rise to power of the [[Communist Party of Luepola]] in 1901, which transformed the country into a [[People's Republic of Luepola|one-party socialist state]]. Through state institutions, the communist party inspired and aided socialist movements across the continent, most prominently in Vierzland, [[Granzery]], and [[Apelia]]. The latter two countries installed their own socialist governments and collectively formed the [[Socialist Internationale]]. Luepola's attempt to impose socialism on Zacotia by force ignited the [[Great War (Vasarden)|Great War]], which saw the defeat of the SIC by the [[Allianz]]. Following its defeat, Luepola was military occupied by Vierzland; its government was reformed into an [[State of Luepola|authoritarian state]] within the Vierz sphere of influence, which persisted for most of the [[Silent War]]. The decades-long suppression of Luepolan nationalism culminated in the [[Luepolan Spring]], in which the Luepolan government was [[March Uprising|overthrown]] in 1979 and its successor outlasted a [[Luepolan War|Vierz invasion]] of the country. After the war, Luepola underwent a significant reconstruction period and established important ties with the [[Continental Security Organization|CSO]] and the [[Aitic Federation]].
Luepola is a {{wpl|Federal republic|federal}} {{wpl|Semi-presidential system|semi-presidential}} {{wpl|republic}}; it is considered by most to be a {{wpl|great power}}. Luepola commands the world's [[List of countries by GDP (Vasarden)|seventh largest economy]] by nominal GDP; since 2000, it has also ranked among the highest in the world for education and political freedom. Luepolan cultural influence is prominent in Mahsadar and other West Oridian countries such as [[Njataristan]] and [[Sirad]], owing to its legacy as a colonial power. Luepola is a full member of the [[International Assembly]] and [[Leisau Group]]. Luepola maintains the second largest military in [[Patyria]] by active personnel, and is considered a {{wpl|Nuclear latency|nuclear threshold state}}.

==Etymology==
The name "Luepola" ({{wpl|German language|Vierz}}: ''Lüpolen'') is a borrowing of the Luepolan endonym ''Ľupola'', wherein the initial {{wpl|Palatalization (phonetics)|palatalized}} /ʎu/ was realized as /lʏ/. This name in turn derives from the contracted form of the {{wpl|Proto-Slavic language|Proto-Molvic}} ''[[wiktionary:Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/ľubъ|*ľubъ]]'' and ''[[wiktionary:Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/poľe|poľe]]'', which translate to "pleasant" and "field". These words would have been spoken together as ''*ľuby poľe'', "pleasant fields", to describe the lands on which the early Molves lived. The grammatically simplified phrase ''*ľubъ poľà'' was contracted to a single word and the ''ъ'' later {{wpl|History of the Slavic languages#The yers ь and ъ|deleted}}, yielding ''*ľubpoľà''. The earliest attestation of Luepola's name appears in this form as ''Любъполꙗ'', with the ъ still written. At this stage of development, the term was appropriated by [[Luka the Great]] as the new name of the recently unified kingdom of Varadna-Strentland. The final ''ľ'' was later depalatalized, rendering the modern name ''Ľupola'' (until 1906, written as as ''Люпола'').


Luepola is bordered to the north by Vostrum and the __ sea; to the east by Tanavia, Lestara, Varchia, and the __ sea; to the south by [[Zacotia]] and [[Lairea]], and to the west by [[Seredval]] and Vierzland. Additionally, Luepola controls the disputed island of Gvazda (claimed by Vostrum), giving Luepola a ''de facto'' maritime border with Seralia to the north.
The exonym "'''Strentland'''" had been applied to the [[Kingdom of Strentland|kingdom]] ruling [[Bosunija]] by the Veisic world, and is used to this day in {{wpl|Norwegian language|Savic}} and {{wpl|German language|Vierz}} to refer to Luepola, albeit as an archaic form in the latter. This form is derived from the {{wpl|Old High German|Old East Vierz}} compound ''strāza-[[wiktionary:enti#Old High German|enti]]-[[wiktionary:lant#Old High German|lant]]'', translating to "the land where the roads end". This name was applied by Veisic tribes to the whole south Erisian coast, but eventually was adopted as an exonym for the coastal Molvic kingdom nearest to the Veisic peoples.

<!--[[File:Facial_Chronicle_-_b.11,_p.421_-_Battle_at_Vorskla.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Battle of Bosane, one of the most well-known battles of the Containment War.]]
The Kingdom of Luepola, then known as Varadna-Strentland, was established in 1329 by [[Genadi the Great|Genadi I]] of [[Kingdom of Strentland|Strentland]]. Genadi's wife [[Vladislava I of Varadna|Vladislava I]] was the heir apparent to the throne of Varadna; upon her coronation, their son became the heir to both thrones, and Vladislava opted to instead cede control of Varadna to Genadi, unifying the two countries ahead of schedule.


===Vierz Occupation of Luepola (1947-1985)===
A period of turmoil followed, as the newly unified country was torn into civil war by the two separate houses of nobility backing different successors following the death of [[Genadi the Lesser]]. Princess [[Cvieta the Great|Cvieta I]], the preferred heir by the Varadian nobility, emerged victorious from the war. Shortly after the end of the war, neighboring kingdoms Plosenia and Zacotia invaded Varadna-Strentland, initiating the [[Containment Wars]], in which Varadna-Strentland allied Vyzinia to retake its territory and eventually partition Plosenia and annex significant parts of Zacotia. The victory was followed by the declaration of the Kingdom of Luepola as the successor to Varadna-Strentland.-->

[[File:Luepola_LevGincburg.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Lev Gincburg]], the founder of the People's Republic of Luepola.]]
The People's Republic of Luepola was officially declared by Lev Gincburg after likely illegitimately winning his re-election as the President of Luepola. The declaration was followed by the relatively quick and violent transformation of Luepola into a one-party socialist state. The Communist Party used its stranglehold over the country to eliminate political opponents and dissidents, hasten Luepola's relatively slow industrialization, reform the Luepolan language and script, and export its ideology to other nations. Countries such as Vorochia, Granzery, Poicary and Apelia fell sway to communism throughout the first half of the 20th century. Luepola transformed its colonial holdings in Oridia and Tusola into socialist republics, but effectively maintained a stranglehold on their state affairs.
 
On 8 April 1942,  [[Invasion of Zacotia|invasion of Zacotia]] in order to install a Communist government. Vierzland and Savland each declared war on Luepola in turn, beginning the [[Great War (Vasarden)|Great War]]. After a poorly-prepared Vierz invasion of Luepola failed, Luepola went on the offensive, bringing Apelia and Granzery into the war as members of the [[Socialist Internationale]] and besieging Vierzland on all of its land borders while also invading southern Patyria, annexing the region alongside Granzery and similarly laying siege to Cestros. Intermittent SI air raids on Vierzland escalated into full-scale [[Strategic Bombing in the Great War (Vasarden)|strategic]] and {{wp|terror bombing}} campaigns which were later reciprocated by the [[Allianz (Vasarden)|Allied nations]]; one of the most notable such air raids was the [[Bombing of Talheim]], in which the use of {{wp|chemical weapons}} killed tens of thousands in the deadliest week of the war. Shortly after, the Luepolans initiated the [[Battle of Kasenberg]], the largest single battle of the war. Nonetheless, Luepola's efforts at overrunning Vierzland's and Cestros's defensive lines were unsuccessful, and the entry of [[Vonzumier]] into the war placed increased pressure on Luepola's southern front and forcing her to defend her colonial holdings. Decisive defeats inflicted on Luepola at Kasenberg, [[Battle of Tarphos|Tarphos]], and the [[Battle of the Verakoni Gap|Verakoni Gap]] forced Luepola on the defensive, but Luepola was nonetheless able to maintain its own defensive line close within its pre-war borders until fall 1947, when the Allied [[Operation Rapture]] forced Apelia's surrender. In the final six months of the war, Luepola found itself overwhelmed as Vonzumier and Vierzland mounted a final offensive against Luepola. After the death of Marusić, acting Chairman [[Saňin Mlakar]] ordered the surreder of Luepola to the Vierz army, effectively ending the war. The [[Treaty of Adtrus]] would later dissolve the Luepolan communist government, place Luepola's satellite republics in Oridia under Vierz administration, and subject Luepola to military occupation by Vierzland.

[[File:LueyParl.jpg|250px|thumbnail|left|The Luepolan Sliet in Prishek.]]


The Luepolan government consists of three branches: the Luepolan Assembly, which is the legislative body of the government; the Executive branch, which is composed of the President, Vice President, cabinet, and most government agencies; and the Luepolan National Court, which is the highest judiciary body in the nation.

The Luepolan government consists of three branches: the [[Sliet]], which is the legislative body of Luepola, and the branch which the Prime Minister is formally a member of; the Executive branch, which is composed of the President, Vice President, cabinet, and most government agencies; and the Luepolan High Court, which is the highest judiciary body in the nation.  


The Luepolan Assembly (Luepolan: ''Ľupolski Sbor'') is a bicameral legislature which consists of two houses. The ''Sliet'' consists of four representatives from each state, who are voted into office by the representatives of the Lower House. The Lower House, officially known as the High Assembly of Luepola (Luepolan: ''Veliki Sbor Ľupoloj'') consists of over two hundred representatives that represent the states based on population, and whose representatives are voted into office through public elections. Representatives in both houses serve four-year terms and are restricted to three-term limits. The legislative body has the collective power to propose and pass legislature, to permit or deny peace treaties, and to declare war on another nation. The senate also has the power to override a presidential veto on a piece of legislature, provided a 2/3 majority is reached. If a 3/4 majority is present in the original vote, the vote pre-emptively overrides a possible veto from the president. The senate also has the power to decide if a president is to be impeached, and to approve of a presidential nomination to the High Court. The leader of the Sliet's majority, whether a coalition or single party, is appointed as the Prime Minister of Luepola.
The Executive Branch consists of the President, who is elected by popular vote in a runoff election. The President is the Head of State of the nation. The President appoints personal advisors to his cabinet, who function as the heads of the various government agencies. The President is the ceremonial Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, but may formally advise his military staff if he is militarily experienced, following the precedent set in the Luepolan War by [[Emil Ivanušić]]. The President is also responsible for signing bills passed in the Sliet, or vetoing them. The President-Elect officially nominates his choice of Prime Minister before taking office, though by convention a presidential hopeful will announce his intended Prime Minister while campaigning; he is also responsible for nominating new High Court Judges to fill vacancies as they appear. The President can serve up to three four-year terms, though all presidents elected since 1985 have served for two terms at most. The incumbent president of Luepola is [[Savo Grigorević]].

The President can serve up to three four-year terms, though all presidents elected since 1985 have served for two terms at most.
The Sliet is a bicameral legislature which  oconsistsf two houses. The [[Popular Assembly (Luepola)|Popular Assembly]] (''Ľudovi Sbor'') is the lower of the two houses and consists of over six hundred representatives that represent the states based on population, who are voted into office through statewide elections concurrent with the national election. The [[Great Assembly]] (''Veliki Sbor'') is the upper house and consists of six representatives from each state and two from each independent municipality, who are voted into office by the representatives of the Popular Assembly.  Representatives in both houses serve four-year terms and are restricted to three-term limits. The Sliet has the collective and exclusive power to propose and pass legislature, to permit or deny peace treaties, and to declare war on another nation. The Sliet also has the power to override a presidential veto on a piece of legislature with a two-thirds' majority, and to preempt a presidential veto with a three-quarters' majority.  The Great Assembly in particular has the power to impeach government officials including the President and Prime minister, and to confirm a presidential nominee to the High Court; the Popular Assembly has the power to confirm a presidential nominee for Prime Minister. The leader of the majority in each chamber of the Sliet, whether of a coalition or of a single ruling party, is appointed as the Chairman of their chamber and responsible for representing their specific chamber in the presence of the President or a foreign dignitary. The incumbent chairman of the Great Assembly is [[Krăsto Ivanović]], and the incumbent chairwoman of the Popular Assembly is [[Marza Baľaka]].


The High Court is the supreme judiciary body of the nation, and handles cases that have been appealed past all regional courts. The High Court also determines whether a bill is permissible according to the Luepolan Constitution, and is in charge of handling impeachment cases. Judges are appointed by the President and approved by the Assembly, and may serve for a maximum of thirty years, though these terms may be cut short by voluntary retirement or death. A judge cannot be legally removed from his position except by his own retirement or by term expiration.  
The office of Prime Minister is an informal, traditional office that is not explicitly defined by Luepolan law, but is traditionally held accountable to both the Sliet and the President. The Prime Minister functions as the Head of Government for the Nation. He is officially a representative of his electoral region in the Popular Assembly (though his position as such is unofficially filled by an acting representative), and is responsible to the President for ensuring the regular and lawful functioning of the Sliet; unofficially, he is also a member of the President's cabinet charged with representing the body of the Sliet in the President's Cabinet meetings. The Prime Minister is, in addition, the first in line to the succession of the presidency should the President become unable to carry out his duties. The incumbent prime minister of Luepola is [[Radovan Kozić]].

The High Court is the supreme judiciary body of the nation, and handles civil and criminal cases that have been sucessfully appealed past all regional courts. The High Court also rules on the constitutionality of a law passed by the Sliet, and is in charge of handling impeachment cases. Judges are appointed by the President and approved by the Assembly, and may serve for a maximum of thirty years, though these terms may be cut short by voluntary retirement or death. A judge can be removed prior to their term expiration through impeachment by the Popular Assembly; a special session of the Great Assembly is then convened to convict an impeached judge, or to strike down the impeachment.

The Luepolan Armed Forces are composed of five branches: the Ground Forces (Luepolan: ''Vojsko Zemľe''), the Air Force (Luepolan: ''Luftsila''), the Navy (Luepolan: ''Flot''), the Expeditionary Force (Luepolan: ''Vojsko Otpravke''), and the National Security Force (Luepolan: ''Sila dľa Bezopasnosťe Strane''). Each branch is commanded by a Marshal. The entire armed forces are commanded by the Armed Forces' Grand Marshal. In addition, Luepola has ''de facto'' control of various paramilitary groups, the most notable of which is the Overseas Forces (Luepolan: ''Vojsko Přémorsko''); an armed group that consists of non-Luepolans fighting for Luepolan interests abroad.

The Land Force is statistically the largest branch of the Luepolan Armed Forces, and considered to be the most potent. The ground forces cover all aspects of land-based combat, from urban fighting, to artillery, armored warfare, and mechanized maneuvers. The ground forces also operate helicopters and small numbers of attack aircraft.


The Navy is the second-largest branch of the Luepolan military. The Navy operates various surface vessels and submarines, as well as helicopters and ground-based anti-ship missiles. It is responsible for carrying military equipment and soldiers long-distances, as well as engaging enemy fleets, defending and patrolling Luepolan waters, and supporting ground forces wherever possible. The Navy also operates three ballistic-missile submarines, which form the first of Luepola's two nuclear-armed strike forces.


The Air Force is the third largest branch. It operates all types of fixed-wing aircraft, as well as ground-based air defense systems and small numbers of helicopters. The Air Force is also responsible for any Luepolan military operations conducted in Low-Earth Orbit; however, no military operations have taken place in space in Luepolan history. Furthermore, the bombers of the Air Force form the second nuclear-armed strike force, and the larger of the two.


The SBS is the fourth-largest branch of the military, and serves as the home guard for Luepola. It also handles other domestic issues, such as humanitarian and counter-terrorism operations, and defending the nation in the event of an invasion, including organizing armed paramilitary and partisan groups. 


The Expeditionary Force is the smallest branch of the military, though still respectfully large. The Expeditionary Force is a combined-arms branch, operating fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, maritime craft, and armored vehicles, and is responsible for cyber warfare operations. Furthermore, Special Command Group (Luepolan: ''Befielsgruppa Pekuljarna''), the command organization for Luepolan Special Forces groups, falls under the jurisdiction of the Expeditionary Force. It is considered the most elite of the five branches.

Luepola (/luˈpoʊlə/, LuepolanĽupola [ʎuˈpɔla] or [juˈpɔla]), officially the Republic of Luepola (Respublika Ľupolska [resˈpublika ʎuˈpɔlska]), is a sovereign state located in central Erisia. It is divided into fifteen voblasts and two federal municipalities. Luepola's capital is Prishek, and its largest city is Voitz.


Etymology

The name "Luepola" (Vierz: Lüpolen) is a borrowing of the Luepolan endonym Ľupola, wherein the initial palatalized /ʎu/ was realized as /lʏ/. This name in turn derives from the contracted form of the Proto-Molvic *ľubъ and poľe, which translate to "pleasant" and "field". These words would have been spoken together as *ľuby poľe, "pleasant fields", to describe the lands on which the early Molves lived. The grammatically simplified phrase *ľubъ poľà was contracted to a single word and the ъ later deleted, yielding *ľubpoľà. The earliest attestation of Luepola's name appears in this form as Любъполꙗ, with the ъ still written. At this stage of development, the term was appropriated by Luka the Great as the new name of the recently unified kingdom of Varadna-Strentland. The final ľ was later depalatalized, rendering the modern name Ľupola (until 1906, written as as Люпола).

The exonym "Strentland" had been applied to the kingdom ruling Bosunija by the Veisic world, and is used to this day in Savic and Vierz to refer to Luepola, albeit as an archaic form in the latter. This form is derived from the Old East Vierz compound strāza-enti-lant, translating to "the land where the roads end". This name was applied by Veisic tribes to the whole south Erisian coast, but eventually was adopted as an exonym for the coastal Molvic kingdom nearest to the Veisic peoples.
