Seredinia (Seredyan: Серединська, tr. Seredinska), officially the Seredinian Federation (Seredyan: Серединская Федерация, tr. Seredinskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental sovereign federal parliamentary republic. It spans east-central Belisaria and Ochran, a geographic makeup from which it gets its name meaning the middle in Seredyan. The largest nation in the world by land area, it is also the fifth largest nation by population with 126,841,466 residents. The majority of its population live in the western area of the country, near the Periclean Sea, and in metropolitian areas such as Belogorodka and Zolodolina, the first and second largest cities in the nation respectively. Other major cities include the coastal centers of Elektrostal and Tambov, as well as the far-eastern city of Dominigrad and the steppe city of Voroshilovka. Spanning a wide swathe of the northern hemisphere, Seredinia shares land borders with Drevstran, Velikograd, Tsensurii, and Uluujol as well as a maritime border with Tarsas. Historically and in contemporary ages, it has served as a gateway between the eastern and western powers of Ochran and Belisaria.
The ethnic group known as Seredyans first emerged across Belisaria and Ochran in the early centuries CE, and were initially ruled by various disparate knyazes over the course of the 6th through the 10th centuries. By 970 CE a majority of the country was under the nominal control of the Bayarid Empire. Its domination over Seredya would last until just before the disestablishment of the Bayarids in 1147, with a transition to the Zhuzh system of decentralized rulership taking hold until the late 13th century. It was during this time that various religions began to spread across Seredya, including Eastern Orthodoxy and Fabrian Catholicism. While none would take root across the entire nation, each would ingrain itself into Seredyan culture, eventually forming what is now known as the Evangelical Orthodox Church of All Seredyans by the 16th century. After the deposition of the last Zhuzh in Seredya-majority areas in 1318, power began coalescing around the Christian Principalities of Zolodolina and Belogorodka. Proclaimed a united Grand Principality in 1366 through various intermarriages, the Princes of the Golden Valley would begin expanding across what is now western and central Seredinia throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, culminating in the conquests of Vsevolod IV from 1454-1468. By the seventeenth century, the lands were essentially united and expanded by conquest, annexation, and expeditions in the far east to roughly the modern extent of the Seredinian Federation, termed The Middle Lands -- inhabited by the People of the Middle Lands, or Seredyans -- by its Samoderzec, or Autocrat.
Seredya under the Samoderzec would collapse after the Christmas Revolution of 1878 and capture of Samoderzec Anatole I, leading to a decade-long civil war and the emergence of socialist and communist ideologies across the nation. The conflict would see the deaths by starvation and war of millions of citizens across the country, and the secession of Tsensurii as well as other small regions of the country. At its end, propagated by the unification of liberal Kadet factions with the moderate wing of the Socialist Authority, the Velikiy Respublika, or Grand Republic, was declared; and while it underwent significant amendment and change during the 1950-4 Constitutional Crises, it is one of the longest-standing republics in the world. It maintains consistently peaceful transfers of power and only a single instance of near-usurpation of its democracy, undertaken during the 1950-4 period of instability, is known as the Knyazitsyn Putsch and was ended decisively by Prime Minister and later President Laurentiy Verizov. The reformation of the nation into the Seredinian Federation was overseen by Verizov, and his reforms and constitutional document are termed the Verizov Documents.
Seredinia's economy ranks within the top five of the world by nominal GDP, and it is a major producer of raw materials as well as finished products. Governmentally, Seredinia maintains an indirectly-elected President serves as the official head of state and guarantor of the Seredinian Constitution who appoints a prime minister from among the leaders of the Zemsky Sobor to serve as the head of government. The President's powers and the procedures by which he executes them are maintained according to the various so-called constitutions, though each successive document is actually a set of amendments to the official 1878 Constitution. The current President is Anatole Apraxin, serving his second term since 2010, and the current Prime Minister is Nadezhda Vyrubova since 2015. The government is based primarily in the capital city of Zolodolina.
