The Federal Republic of Swinas is an Italian speaking nation on the continent of Hiraethia has an island in the Talsar Sea. The nation can trace it's beginnings all the way back to around 150 BCE, but has officially been existing since 1564. The Federal Republic of Swinas shares a border with Vultesia and Wellsenfaile. The country has a dual-consular government, where two consuls are elected by the Swish People and share the powers that the head of the executive branch would normally hold. The Federal Republic of Swinas' government also contains a Senate, which passes legislation which can be vetoed and must be signed by both consuls. Besides on a federal level, the Federal Republic also contains the provinces of Cresta, Tharbarn, Granton, Consilana, Valdona, and Nordinsel. Each of these 6 provinces are represented by the 6 stars on the Swish Flag, with the star in the center representing the Federal Swish Governent.
The Federal Republic of Swinas is a Dual-Presidential Federal Republic led by the First and Second President, provincial leaders, and a unicameral Senate. The Federal Government is hosted in the Capital City of Tuasvelat, and a majority of the population of Swinas speaks their native tounge, Sviina. Additionally, the island of Notizellio speaks Notizelli, and more recently, many common speakers have begun to appear in Sviinas, though Sviina continues to be the majority. Known to the native speakers of Sviinas as "Uet Republjiče Puïdeera ot Sviinasva", it covers a considerable area of 985,095 square kilometers (380,347 square miles). Banks in Sviinas use the Sviina dollar, and cars drive on the right.

== History ==


=== Rise of the Swish People ===
=== Sviina Classical Period (500 B.C. - 136 B.C.) ===
The history of the region of Swinas as a whole can be loosely traced back to 300 BCE, when nomads began settling in Eastern Swinas and ancient religions began starting in Western Swinas. In the early history of Swinas, the desertpeople were different from the plainspeople. The desertpeople were indigenous Swish, whilst those in the plains came from other areas. The desertpeople believed in different gods and spoke a different language than the plainspeople. One empire from the plains from 150 BCE, the Cristataen Empire, would wish to unite the plains and conquer the desert afterwards. Aries Sabinus, the Emperor of the Cristataen Empire, would raise 4 legions for the conquest of the plains. The Cristataen Empire was the most centralized empire in the plains, and they were able to conquer the plains easily, using new ways of war which had never been seen before by the plainspeople, and building upon the innovations of other tribes in the plains to make new innovations.  
The Sviina Classical Period was a period of immense cultural and artistic development in Sviinasva. During this time, Sviinasva was divided up into petty kingdoms and dependent city-states. There were three major kingdoms, them being Tuasoelat, Poišag, and Težat. Tuasoelat was located in Northern Sviinasva, Težat in South-Eastern Sviinasva, and Poišag in South-Western Sviinasva. During the Sviina Classical Period, these kingdoms frequently were in a state of war, with their dependent city-states helping the respective kingdom they were aligned to. During this time, the isle of Notizellio was completely unknown to the Sviina.


As mentioned, during this time much artistic development was ongoing in Sviinasva, mainly architecture. During this time, many great architects were emerging from all 3 areas of Sviinasva, such as Siraket. He was the man who oversaw the construction of the temple of Pekuljak, the god of Agriculture, in the Kingdom of Težat. This temple was of great significance not just to the people of that kingdom, but of all the Kingdoms, and was visited by many from the Kingdom of Tuasoelat and Poišag. This is just one of many examples of the great architectural work ongoing during this period in Sviina History.


The conquest of the Swish Plains would be completed, and the Cristataen Empire would next use their legions to invade the Swish Desert, which was much larger than the plains. The desertpeople would also put up a fierce fight, as they opposed the plainspeople, who they saw as the enemy. After much struggle, however, much of the Swish Desert would be conquered by the Cristataen Empire, and would go on to influence much of modern Swish Culture. Eventually, a succession crisis would lead to the collapse of the empire in 24 CE, and would see the rise of new nations and organizations. Many city-states would be created, who would be united under Swish Leagues. One of these leagues, the Crestan League, would be led by the city of Capcres.
During this time period, many wars were also occuring, as previously mentioned. In chronological order, it goes; The Supääp Wars, the Karetsa War, and the Bïubek Wars. While many more war occurred, those other wars are minor, whilst these wars were significant to the history of Classical Sviinasva. The first war mentioned was the Supääp Wars. These were a series of 2 wars which were 30 years apart from each other. The First Supääp War was fought over the city-state of Supääp. Before the war. Tuasoelat had been making negotiations with the city-state to join the Tuasoelat League. Meanwhile, Poišag had also been undergoing negotiations with this city-state. After much consideration from this city-state, however, they decidided to join the Tuasoelat League. This infuriated Poišag, so they laid siege and razed the city-state. This in turn enraged Tuasoelat, who joined the war shortly after it's actual declaration, thus beginning the Supääp Wars.


The first major battle was the battle of Edäapä, which was a pyrrhic victory for Poišag. The loss of life did lead to only one more battle being fought, before they were forced to entrench until winter was over, which


Capcres would organize the Pan-Crestan Conference, in which all of the city-states of the League would meet in Capcres. The envoy of Capcres would begin to discuss plans of further centralization, as the Firinan League would begin showing hostility to the Crestan League. After the conference, Capcres would gain further control of the league, as all of the city-states of the league agreed to become feudatories of Capcres. Following this, Capcres would declare war on the Firinan League and would lay siege to the city which led the league. Following this, a fierce battle would occur. The Firinan League would attempt to use shock action tactics to convince the Crestans that they had a large army than they did, and the Crestans themselves used Single Envelopment tactics, which surprised the enemy and led to a Crestan Victory. The rest of the Firinan League would surrender to the Crestan League, and they would be integrated into the Crestan League, before eventually the whole league was integrated into Capcres.
=== The Sviina Civil War (1921 A.D. - 1925 A.D.) ===
Though the official fighting had only occurred 4 years, the effects of it are still present, especially in the Sviina Countryside, where many towns have been abandoned due to the war. Until recently, a large amount of government funds had been allocated towards the Oho Pižaageegat Païtižätip, or, the Anti Socialist Authority. Though actual fighting began in 1921, the social tension could date back to the spread of socialist, agrarian ideals in Southern Sviinas, where farmers began speaking out against Sviina legislation they saw as against their way of life. Suddenly, the Sviina Socialist Party would be founded in 1909, and would go on to pass legislation which promised development of Southern Sviinas, and general agrarian reforms. By 1913, the Sviina Federal Party opposed the Sviina Socialist Party, and political tensions continued to rise. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was in early 1920 when Socialist Officials were arrested in what was considered an illegal operation by the Socialist Party.


The Sviina Socialist Party would begin preparing for a Civil War, and the question now was not "if", but rather "when". That question would be answered in March of 1921, nearly a year after the incident, when the rural south would rise up and arrest any mayors or provincial leaders that were known to be members of the Sviina Federal Party. Many would be killed in a brutal incident known as the March Uprising. From there, things only continued to get worse, as the government in Tuasvelat would officially deploy the military. Any militaries loyal to the Sviina Socialist Party, however would disobey their commanders, and would assist the Socialists. The Sviina Government would launch offensives in key northern cities immediately, possibly preventing an early Socialist Victory. From there, the Socialists would many times threaten the capital of Tuasvelat.


Čukaanad, the First President at the time would make a public declaration in Tuasvelat mere hours after a nearby battle, promising that he would not allow the red menace to step foot into Tuasvelat. A similar speach would also be made to the Military. Inspired by this confidence, soldiers would valiantly fight against the socialists, eventually pushing them far from Tuasvelat. The socialists, having lost the upper hand, would initiate their Plan B, which was a naval invasion of Notizellio. This island just so happened to be a key naval base of the Sviina before the war, but the socialists, right before the outbreak of the war, had aligned many admirals to them. Those who remained on the side of the Federal Republic were to attempt Naval Dominance.


After this, Capcres culture would also begin to influence the rest of Swinas, as they were a regional power within Swinas. However, the Capcres hegemony would fade away and their territories would be reduced by other nations in Swinas. As communication technology became better, and due to the Cristataen Empire, the divide between the plainspeople and desertpeople was slowly disappearing. Because of this, desertpeople and plainspeople culture was also integrating with each other, creating a unique blend which altogether shaped modern-day Swish culture. This would all occur in the Late Antiquity, and in about 459 CE, Germanic influence from Nordinsel would spread into the region of Swinas. Conquerors from the islands would arrive on the shores of Swinas by around the 400's, and would establish kingdoms in Northern Swinas, which would frequently enter wars with the Swish Leagues.
In mid-1923, the socialists would launch their naval attacks, destroying many ships belonging to the Federal Republic. It was brutal fighting, which saw many casualties. During this, land fighting had not stopped, either. Many battles would also occur on land, killing many. One battle would even result in the loss of a key Socialist General. Regardless, they persisted, and would eventually make landfall. Many Federalists thought that the isle would fall into Socialist Hands, but as it turns out, the invasion force had actually been worn down quite a bit during the naval fighting for many months. As a result, fierce battles would be fought as the soldiers on the island would attempt to hold off the Socialists, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. One key battle that demonstrates their complete will to fight was the battle of Lang Bridge.


One of these Nordinselli Kingdoms, the Kingdom of the Hoffs, would conquer most land which is in modern-day eastern Swinas, and would from there expand west into the desert. The Kingdom would then proclaim itself the Hoffic Kingdom of Swinas, but most ethnic Swish would be beneath the Germanic Nordinselli, who at this point dominated Swinas. The geopolitical landscape of Swinas henceforth began to change, with the Hoffs having massive influence over Swinas, including their language. In the periods of Swinas during the antiquity, the majority of Swinas spoke a variation of Latin, now, Germanic language customs would begin spreading into the Swish Language, which would gradually transform into a form of Italian.
The battle of Lang Bridge was a deadly battle for the socialists in Notizellio. Lang Bridge was across a river that led to a major Notizelli city. The democratic soldiers had one order from their general, "Oho apa setimetera puše!", which translated to "Not a centimeter back!" This order was received well by the soldiers, who fought valiantly for the bridge, and ultimately won the battle, eventually after many months, the socialists would be forced to flee due to a democratic blockade, though their escape would be deadly, resulting in countless deaths. By 1924, the Sviina Navy had full dominance against the Sviina Socialist Navies, and had begun pushing the socialists back on land.


Eventually, the Kingdom of the Hoffs would split up into smaller petty Kingdoms, with the Old Swish and Nordinselli cultures fused together, which create the Modern Swish identity. Gradually, another nation which was based nearby the former city of Capcres would rise to power, it's Capital named Cape Cresta City, and it's nation being the Kingdom of Cape Cresta. it would conquer most of Modern-Day Swinas, and later it would also conquer the panhandle into the Parthenean Coast which Swinas owns. The Kingdom of Cape Cresta would last, eventually naming itself the Kingdom of Swinas, and being the absolute controller of all Swish Peoples. Eventually, the Kingdom would launch a 10-year military campaign against the Island of Nordinsel, which while small, was home to some of the fiercest fighters, and would challenge the Swish superiority. Eventually, the island was conquered, and the Kingdom of Swinas would experience a longevity of peace.
By 1925, the Sviina Armies had besieged the Socialist Capital City of Pvišag. From their, fierce fighting came from the remaining Socialist Armies, as they had falsely believed that reinforcements would arrive from the South-West. Little did they know, the general who sent that letter had surrendered in battle. Eventually, the Sviina Armies would breach the socialist defenses after a weakness of supply, and the Socialist Armies would ultimately surrender in August of 1925. Many socialists would be imprisoned for life, and countless Socialist Soldiers would be executed via the Great Socialist Purge, and Sviinasva would ultimately return to a peaceful state, with the rebuilding process beginning in 1926.
 
=== Modern Swish History ===
By the 1400's, the Kingdom of Swinas was a prosperous kingdom which was caught up to the world technologically and culturally. However, the King of Swinas still held absolute power over Swinas, and by the mid-to-late 1500's, many found this an issue. The King's Son, Alberico Rosiello, would be the darling of the Swish People, and many would support his populist ideas. His father, who was still king, believed that his power should remain absolute, and was not willing to transfer some of his power to the people. So, Prince Rosiello along with the people would enter the King's Palace and force the King to transfer his power to his son, who would then go on to make reforms to the monarchy and transfer some of his power to the people. In 1564, the Kingdom of Swinas transitioned from an Absolute to Constitutional Monarchy, and a senate was established with 100 seats, and people could vote on who to elect into it, and they passed legislation.
 
 
The transition would be received well by the Swish People, but by 1643, a new King named King Oscuro II would seek to consolidate his power, and he would begin using the military to repel certain legislation from the senate from being passed. The people, not in favor of this, would revolt, and the King would abdicate. In order to prevent a new King from taking too much power, the Kingdom of Swinas would transform into the Federal Republic of Swinas. The Senate was given greater power, and the powers of the king would be shared by two people who were the First and Second Consuls. The provinces were established, and this system has been in place for 400 years with little change.
 
In the 1920's, however, Socialist Groups would begin gaining relevance in Swinas, with a distinct divide between socialist groups and democratic groups. This divide would become even more relevant when the then First Consul of Swinas, Micheal Jenkins, would begin banning many institutions associated with the Swish Communist Party, and this would eventually lead to the formation of the People's Republic of Swinas in the desert. They controlled most of the land of Swinas, but the industrial areas of Swinas were still under the control of the Federal Republic.

The Government of Swinas will now be explained in full depth. The Government of Swinas is divided into 3 echelons, the first being the Consuls, the next being the Senate, and finally the Provinces. The consuls are the easiest to explain, and will be discussed first. The requirements to become a consul are that you must be at least 30 years old, you must have been a member of the senate for 5 years, and you must be born in Swinas or your parents were born in Swinas. The two consuls share the power to veto and approve legislation, but if the Senate counters the veto with a 75% majority then it is passed regardless. The two consuls must both sign legislation before it is passed.

A senator has one vote each, and a simple majority of 51/100 can pass a law. If both consuls veto a law, then it can be countered by a 75/100 majority, which will override the Consul Veto and force the law to be passed. The Senate has some limitations per what laws it can pass due to the constitution, mainly that it cannot impede upon the established Bill of Laws. Laws in the Bill from the beginning of the Federal Republic cannot be easily removed, but newer ones are easier to remove.

The Federal Republic of Swinas is a Dual-Presidential Federal Republic led by the First and Second President, provincial leaders, and a unicameral Senate. The Federal Government is hosted in the Capital City of Tuasvelat, and a majority of the population of Swinas speaks their native tounge, Sviina. Additionally, the island of Notizellio speaks Notizelli, and more recently, many common speakers have begun to appear in Sviinas, though Sviina continues to be the majority. Known to the native speakers of Sviinas as "Uet Republjiče Puïdeera ot Sviinasva", it covers a considerable area of 985,095 square kilometers (380,347 square miles). Banks in Sviinas use the Sviina dollar, and cars drive on the right.

History

Sviina Classical Period (500 B.C. - 136 B.C.)

The Sviina Classical Period was a period of immense cultural and artistic development in Sviinasva. During this time, Sviinasva was divided up into petty kingdoms and dependent city-states. There were three major kingdoms, them being Tuasoelat, Poišag, and Težat. Tuasoelat was located in Northern Sviinasva, Težat in South-Eastern Sviinasva, and Poišag in South-Western Sviinasva. During the Sviina Classical Period, these kingdoms frequently were in a state of war, with their dependent city-states helping the respective kingdom they were aligned to. During this time, the isle of Notizellio was completely unknown to the Sviina.

As mentioned, during this time much artistic development was ongoing in Sviinasva, mainly architecture. During this time, many great architects were emerging from all 3 areas of Sviinasva, such as Siraket. He was the man who oversaw the construction of the temple of Pekuljak, the god of Agriculture, in the Kingdom of Težat. This temple was of great significance not just to the people of that kingdom, but of all the Kingdoms, and was visited by many from the Kingdom of Tuasoelat and Poišag. This is just one of many examples of the great architectural work ongoing during this period in Sviina History.

During this time period, many wars were also occuring, as previously mentioned. In chronological order, it goes; The Supääp Wars, the Karetsa War, and the Bïubek Wars. While many more war occurred, those other wars are minor, whilst these wars were significant to the history of Classical Sviinasva. The first war mentioned was the Supääp Wars. These were a series of 2 wars which were 30 years apart from each other. The First Supääp War was fought over the city-state of Supääp. Before the war. Tuasoelat had been making negotiations with the city-state to join the Tuasoelat League. Meanwhile, Poišag had also been undergoing negotiations with this city-state. After much consideration from this city-state, however, they decidided to join the Tuasoelat League. This infuriated Poišag, so they laid siege and razed the city-state. This in turn enraged Tuasoelat, who joined the war shortly after it's actual declaration, thus beginning the Supääp Wars.

The Sviina Civil War (1921 A.D. - 1925 A.D.)

Though the official fighting had only occurred 4 years, the effects of it are still present, especially in the Sviina Countryside, where many towns have been abandoned due to the war. Until recently, a large amount of government funds had been allocated towards the Oho Pižaageegat Païtižätip, or, the Anti Socialist Authority.

A similar speach would also be made to the Military. Inspired by this confidence, soldiers would valiantly fight against the socialists, eventually pushing them far from Tuasvelat.

Government

The Government of Swinas will now be explained in full depth. The Government of Swinas is divided into 3 echelons, the first being the Consuls, the next being the Senate, and finally the Provinces. The consuls are the easiest to explain, and will be discussed first. The requirements to become a consul are that you must be at least 30 years old, you must have been a member of the senate for 5 years, and you must be born in Swinas or your parents were born in Swinas. The two consuls share the power to veto and approve legislation, but if the Senate counters the veto with a 75% majority then it is passed regardless. The two consuls must both sign legislation before it is passed. Then there is the Senate. The Modern Senate is comprised of 100 members, but this number has changed throughout history. To be a member of the Senate you must be 20 years old. A senator has one vote each, and a simple majority of 51/100 can pass a law. If both consuls veto a law, then it can be countered by a 75/100 majority, which will override the Consul Veto and force the law to be passed. The Senate has some limitations per what laws it can pass due to the constitution, mainly that it cannot impede upon the established Bill of Laws. Laws in the Bill from the beginning of the Federal Republic cannot be easily removed, but newer ones are easier to remove.

Lastly there is the provinces. Each province has a governor who can choose to follow or not follow certain legislation passed by the Senate. In addition, the Governor acts as the speaker of the Province, as there is also a Provincial Assembly in every province which has a member count proportional to it's population. These provincial assemblies can only pass laws which involve the province they are in, however. The consuls, senate, and provinces altogether make up the Modern Government of Swinas, which has been in place for 400 years and is still stable today.
