'''Slovertia''', ({{wp|Slovak|Sloverti}}: ''Slovertsko''), officially the '''Sloverti Republic''' ({{wp|Slovak|Sloverti}}: ''Slovertská republika''), is a landlocked country in [[Astyria]]. It is bordered to the north by [[Nikolia]], to the south of [[Khyragus]] and to the west by [[Berique]]. Slovertias's territory spans about 43,000 square kilometres (16,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 7.4 million and consists mostly of ethnic Sloverti, the other two main groups are the [[South Mazuria|South Mazurians]]. The capital is Brativas and the largest city is Kojbakvý. The official languages are Sloverti and Mazurian.
 
Slovertia was originally a group of warring kingdoms, Bishoprics and Duchies which in the year 1207 were united into one country by Aleskander The Uniter who founded the kindgdom of Slovertia. Slovertia was annexed by the Empire of [[Berique]] in 1503 and stayed under the rule of Berique until 1815 when Slovertia became an independent kingdom again. In 1851 the
Duchy of [[South Mazuria]] invaded Slovertia's capital Brativas which has switched back and forth between the Mazurian and Sloverti nations for hundreds of years. Slovertia launched a counter invasion pushing all the way into [[South Mazuria]] itself, Slovertia annexed South Mazuria in 1855 and incorporated it into The Kingdom of Slovertia. In 1936 the Sloverti civil war broke out with the republican fraction winning in 1940 and taking control of the country, turning it into a Republic. In the mid forties Slovertia joined the Technocratic Bloc. Slovertia was amemeber of the Bloc until its collapse in the late eighties. After the collapse of The Technocratic Bloc Slovertia became a democratic republic for the first time in its history.
 
Slovertia is split into three regions or ''Kraj''; [[South Mazuria]], [[Kojbakvy]],[[Stredna]] and one city region; [[Brativas]].
Slovertias largest city is [[Kojbakvy (City)|Kojbakvý]] and its capital is the city of [[Brativas]]. The main language spoken is Sloverti followed by Mazurian and other dialects of Sloverti including Výhodný and Severskan.  


==Etymology==
==Etymology==


The Sloveti name for Slovertia is ''Slovertsko'' is derived from the Czech word ''Sloverty'' other names for the country in German were ''Land der Flüsse'' meaning "Land of Rivers" and ''Slawisches Hochland''
The Sloveti name for Slovertia is ''Slovertsko'' is derived from the word ''Sloverty'' which was the name for the people who settled in the mountains of what is now Slovertia.
The native name Slovertsko (1629) derives from an older name of Sloverts, Slové.The original meaning was geographic, since Slovertia did not form a separate administrative unit in this period.

==Geography==
==Geography==
The Republic of Slovertia has a total landmass of 43,000 km squared. It is located in the north of the continent of [[Teudallum]] and is bordered to the north by [[Nikolia]], to the west by [[Berique]] and to the south by [[Khyragus]]. Slovertia is surrounded to the east, north and south by the Srebrogora mountains which have for centuries been one of the main characteristics of the nation. In the west of Slovertia the land flattens out to form the Kojbakvan plateau which has been incredibly important for the Sloverti nation as an agricultural and industrial heartland. It is in this flatter western portion of the country that a good deal of the Sloverti population live. This includes the largest city in Slovertia [[Kojbakvy (City)|Kojbakvy]]. In the more mountainous east and north urbanisation is fairly low. Slovertia can also be split into several cultural regions. The Sloverti wine region which is home to hills of sloping vineyard and is where 85% of the wind produced in Slovertia comes from is located in the north western [[Stredna]] region, the north east of Stredna and the south of [[South Mazuria]] make up the industrial region in which car companies such as [[AMZ]] and Severska (named after the town of Severska from which the company hails) come from here. Agriculture is concentrated in the western [[Kojbakvy]] region due to its more reasonable terrain. Slovertia’s tallest peaks lie on its northern border with [[Nikolia]]. These towering peaks such as the tallest mountain in Slovertia [[Slávu]] hold great cultural significance to the Sloverti nation and people. There are three main rivers which flow from the Srebrogoras westward the Riekia, Hrad (which gets its name from its winding snake like shape) and the Donví which flows through the city of Kojbakvy. The Rieka flows through the Sloverti capital [[Brativas]]. Due to its numerous mountains caves are abundant in Slovertia, since the settlement of humans in what is now Slovertia these caves have played an important cultural role in Sloverti society and today many of these caves are now part of national heritage sites and/or national parks.


===Mountains===


Slovertia is comprised of two main mountain ranges and three main rivers, '''The Tartara mountains''' [[File:slovertimountains.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|alt text|Slavú the tallest mountain in Slovertia]]  extend from the southern Detsish lsnds up into the capital Brativas where they then meet the rolling hills and uplands of the Lesser Frata region. The Tartara mountain range is represented as one of the three hills on the coat of arms of Slovertia. The highest peak in the country '''Slávu''' (2,877 m) is located in the north of the country eight miles outside of Brativas.

==Politics and Government==


===Rivers===
Slovertia is a {{Wp|Parliamentary}} {{Wp|Republic}} with the [[President of Slovertia]] acting as the country’s ceremonial head of state and the [[Prime Minister of Slovertia]] acting as the nation’s head of government. Slovertia was a constitutional monarchy from Sloverti independence in 1815 until the [[June Revolution (Slovertia)|June Revolution]] in which Slovertia became a republic. However Slovertia did not become a democratic state until 1991 when the technocratic government’s control over the nation was ended. Although in the early years of Sloverti democracy there were several challenges faced by the new system in dealing with the legacy of corruption left behind by their predecessors Slovertia has transitioned successfully into a free and democratic state.
[[File:NatAssemblyslv.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|alt text|The Sloveti Parliament buildings]]
Legislative power is held by the [[National Assembly (Slovertia)|National Assembly]] which is made up of 150 members who are elected to the assembly by all Sloverti citizens over the age of 18 every 5 years. Members of the assembly are known as ‘deputies’ and are elected by {{Wp|Universal Sufferage}}. Deputies are elected by proportional representation and each represents one of 150 municipalities. Slovertia is a multi-party state. No party in the National Assembly can form a majority government on its own and so parties are forced to form coalition government. As of the past decade there are 5 main Sloverti [[Political parties in Slovertia|political parties]] which control all but one seat in the Assembly (which is held by an independent from [[Piekno polnocy]]).


The three rivers of Slovertia; nížinná rieka, Had and stará rieka.
===Foreign relations===


Nížinná rieka starts in the Tartara mountains where it flows down the the southwestern loslands for which it gets it name "The Passage to the Lowlands" It flows through the largest city in Slovertia, Kojbakvý. It flows for 360 km and is the longest river in Slovertia.

Had, given its name for it's shape winds down the Tartara mountains carving the '''
Due to its small size and relatively small population in comparison with its neighbours Slovertia has a small presence on the international stage. Slovertia maintains good relations with its influential northerly neighbour [[Nikolia]] which have improved drastically after several conflicts in the 90’s linked to [[South Mazuria|South Mazurian]] separatists. Slovertia has embassies in several other influential states throughout [[Astyria]]. Slovertia has a history of cooperating with its neighbours over foreign policy and crisis and Sloverti troops have cooperated on several international peacekeeping missions throughout the world.

Stará rieka means the old river, it runs through the Sloverti capital Brativas and then down into the south eastern hills before running bryond the Sloverti borders. Stará rieka runs for 220 km.

It is also set to support peacekeeping, rescue and humanitarian operations both within the national territory and abroad. Armed Forces consist of the General Staff, the Land Forces, the Air Force and support units. The forces currently have 20,000 active personnel and as its name suggests its primary goal is the defence and maintenance of sovereignty of the Sloverti Republic. Law enforcement in Slovertia falls into the hands of the [[Sloverti Police|National Police Service]] which is governed by the ministry of justice and is responsible for law enforcement in the republic. There are several small municipal police forces mostly concentrated in urban areas which act as communal law enforcement dealing with situations of petty crime which allows the national force to concentrate on more urgent matters. The most famous of these forces is the [[Brativas Municipal Police]].

Slovertia, (Sloverti: Slovertsko), officially the Sloverti Republic (Sloverti: Slovertská republika), is a landlocked country in Astyria. It is bordered to the north by Nikolia, to the south of Khyragus and to the west by Berique. Slovertias's territory spans about 43,000 square kilometres (16,000 sq mi) and is mostly mountainous. The population is over 7.4 million and consists mostly of ethnic Sloverti, the other two main groups are the South Mazurians. The capital is Brativas and the largest city is Kojbakvý. The official languages are Sloverti and Mazurian.

Slovertia was originally a group of warring kingdoms, Bishoprics and Duchies which in the year 1207 were united into one country by Aleskander The Uniter who founded the kindgdom of Slovertia. Slovertia was annexed by the Empire of Berique in 1503 and stayed under the rule of Berique until 1815 when Slovertia became an independent kingdom again. In 1851 the Duchy of South Mazuria invaded Slovertia's capital Brativas which has switched back and forth between the Mazurian and Sloverti nations for hundreds of years. Slovertia launched a counter invasion pushing all the way into South Mazuria itself, Slovertia annexed South Mazuria in 1855 and incorporated it into The Kingdom of Slovertia. In 1936 the Sloverti civil war broke out with the republican fraction winning in 1940 and taking control of the country, turning it into a Republic. In the mid forties Slovertia joined the Technocratic Bloc. Slovertia was amemeber of the Bloc until its collapse in the late eighties. After the collapse of The Technocratic Bloc Slovertia became a democratic republic for the first time in its history.

Slovertia is split into three regions or Kraj; South Mazuria, Kojbakvy,Stredna and one city region; Brativas. Slovertias largest city is Kojbakvý and its capital is the city of Brativas. The main language spoken is Sloverti followed by Mazurian and other dialects of Sloverti including Výhodný and Severskan.

Etymology

The Sloveti name for Slovertia is Slovertsko is derived from the word Sloverty which was the name for the people who settled in the mountains of what is now Slovertia. The native name Slovertsko (1629) derives from an older name of Slovertis, Slové.The original meaning was geographic, since Slovertia did not form a separate administrative unit in this period.

History

Geography

The Republic of Slovertia has a total landmass of 43,000 km squared. It is located in the north of the continent of Teudallum and is bordered to the north by Nikolia, to the west by Berique and to the south by Khyragus. Slovertia is surrounded to the east, north and south by the Srebrogora mountains which have for centuries been one of the main characteristics of the nation. In the west of Slovertia the land flattens out to form the Kojbakvan plateau which has been incredibly important for the Sloverti nation as an agricultural and industrial heartland. It is in this flatter western portion of the country that a good deal of the Sloverti population live. This includes the largest city in Slovertia Kojbakvy. In the more mountainous east and north urbanisation is fairly low. Slovertia can also be split into several cultural regions. The Sloverti wine region which is home to hills of sloping vineyard and is where 85% of the wind produced in Slovertia comes from is located in the north western Stredna region, the north east of Stredna and the south of South Mazuria make up the industrial region in which car companies such as AMZ and Severska (named after the town of Severska from which the company hails) come from here. Agriculture is concentrated in the western Kojbakvy region due to its more reasonable terrain. Slovertia’s tallest peaks lie on its northern border with Nikolia. These towering peaks such as the tallest mountain in Slovertia Slávu hold great cultural significance to the Sloverti nation and people. There are three main rivers which flow from the Srebrogoras westward the Riekia, Hrad (which gets its name from its winding snake like shape) and the Donví which flows through the city of Kojbakvy. The Rieka flows through the Sloverti capital Brativas. Due to its numerous mountains caves are abundant in Slovertia, since the settlement of humans in what is now Slovertia these caves have played an important cultural role in Sloverti society and today many of these caves are now part of national heritage sites and/or national parks.

Politics and Government

Slovertia is a Parliamentary Republic with the President of Slovertia acting as the country’s ceremonial head of state and the Prime Minister of Slovertia acting as the nation’s head of government. Slovertia was a constitutional monarchy from Sloverti independence in 1815 until the June Revolution in which Slovertia became a republic. However Slovertia did not become a democratic state until 1991 when the technocratic government’s control over the nation was ended. Although in the early years of Sloverti democracy there were several challenges faced by the new system in dealing with the legacy of corruption left behind by their predecessors Slovertia has transitioned successfully into a free and democratic state.

The Sloveti Parliament buildings

Legislative power is held by the National Assembly which is made up of 150 members who are elected to the assembly by all Sloverti citizens over the age of 18 every 5 years. Members of the assembly are known as ‘deputies’ and are elected by Universal Sufferage. Deputies are elected by proportional representation and each represents one of 150 municipalities. Slovertia is a multi-party state. No party in the National Assembly can form a majority government on its own and so parties are forced to form coalition government. As of the past decade there are 5 main Sloverti political parties which control all but one seat in the Assembly (which is held by an independent from Piekno polnocy).
