=Etymology=
=Etymology=
The word "'''Eastarland'''" is not a self-name for either the Kingdom or its people. The word "Eastarland" is only an English translation of the word '''Ostligjord''', which was formed during the colonial administration of the [[Castarilian Empire]] from the 1460s to 1576.
<br> The word Ostligjord literally means "'''land in the east'''", and refers to the 1200s - 1250s, when, presumably, the first [[Irdemanians]] arrived from the southeastern part of the western continent of [[Anteria]].
<br> The first settlements and cities of violence were characterized by typical Nordic names: '''Svelvik, Lavrik, Horten'''. The very same word "Ostligjord" was used only to designate the entire territory occupied by the settlers.
<br> For the first time Ostligjord is mentioned as the name of the state in '''1827''', when the remaining principalities united into one kingdom, it was decided to give the name to the state, which was given by the first settlers to the land on which it would be formed.


People living in Eastarland call themselves '''Trondians''' ('''Trōndmann'''). This name comes from the name of a Nordic tribe that lived in the southeast of the Western continent from the end of 12th to the end of 13th century. Between the 1200s and 1250s, they migrated to the Eastern Continent.

The northern part of Eastarland is a low-lying plain formed during the Ice Age ('''North Eastarland Plain''', lowest point '''Gulthav Sea''', 0 m below sea level). The surface of the lowland has preserved traces of ancient glaciation - chains of low moraine ridges and hills. The western part of the lowland is occupied by swampy lowlands, the formation of which is caused by the subsidence of the platform. In the central part of the country, forest-covered foothills adjoin the lowlands from the south. The highest point is '''Hōldhopiggen''' Mountain, 3243


'''Rivers and lakes'''
[[File:Easterlandphysicalmap2.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Physical map of Eastarland]]
Eastarland is located in the central part of the western coast of the [[Meredonne]] continent of Anteria, bordered by [[Ykanjo]] in the south, [[Gavrilia]] in the northwest and the [[Pomekli desert]] in the northeast. In addition, it has an internal [[Alkai Sea]], which connects with the [[Kaldaz Ocean]] in the west through the [[Gullö Strait]], and with the [[Castarilian Sea]] in the east through the [[Šedava Strait]]. The territorial extent of Eastarland covers an area of ​​612,097 km2, 3.1% or 18,975 km2 of which are water areas.


A large number of rivers flow through the territory of Eastarland, the largest of which are: '''Ostelv, Glomelv, Kolymelven'''. The largest lake in Eastarland is '''Rysvant''', with an area of 1140 km² and a depth of 630 m. The lake is connected by a narrow Estersunnet strait in the west with the '''Gulthav Sea''', and in the east with the Strober strait with the '''Castarilian Sea'''.
Its most notable feature is the abundance of diverse topographic and geological features accumulated over the course of its turbulent geographic history. The Baltkalns Mountains in the center of the country are the highest elevations, with Zaļalance summit (3243 meters), and numerous deserts and small ridges dot the northeastern region. The coastal areas are dominated by two low-lying agricultural and lightly forested plains.
 
These regions are crossed by some of the longest and largest rivers, including Paranda, Nivala, Čiūrai, and are distinguished by an abundance of waterways and lakes, the most notable of which is Lake Tālava. Due to its geological activity and varied landscape, Eastarland is a treasure trove of numerous natural resources and biodiverse habitats.

==Climate==
==Climate==
In general, the climate is temperate, maritime, characterized by cool summers and rather warm winters. The average temperature in July is + 16 ... + 17 ° C, in January - about + 2 ° C on the coast and slightly colder inland. The absolute maximum air temperature (+ 38.6 ° C) was recorded on August 10, 1954 in Drasau, the absolute minimum (−27.4 ° C) was recorded on January 29, 1962 in Litburg. In winter, when anticyclones arrive, the temperature drops below 0 ° C, snow falls, and channels and lakes are covered with ice. Although there is an average of 650 to 750 mm of precipitation per year, rarely a day goes by without rain. There are often fogs, sometimes it snows in winter.
[[File:Easterlandclimat.jpg|thumb|left|Eastarland temperature zones; from cooler blue to hotter brown]]
Truly extreme natural events (severe droughts, tornadoes, storms, severe frost or heat) are relatively rare.
Eastarland is entirely located in the temperate zone in the eastern zone of the planet and in the transition zone between the subtropical climate in the south and the desert climate in the north. The climate is also influenced by the Kalf Stream, which is responsible for unusually high average annual temperatures at this local latitude, providing Eastarland with mostly humid and soft oceanic air. The influence of the World Ocean is significantly reduced when moving from west to east. A maritime climate with small temperature fluctuations between winter and summer is observed along the coastlines (Jurbarkas, Zhuklia, Zhaluky), adjacent hinterlands and regions, while seasonal temperature fluctuations increase when traveling south, to Kierinki and Jurkrasts. However, significant climatic differences also arise from the difficult and rugged terrain, which makes it difficult for warm and cold air to pass, especially in the central regions of Eastarland.
 
The average annual temperature, based on national measurements from 1950-2000, is approximately 8.6 ° C, and the amount of precipitation for the country is estimated at 596.8 mm. While Eastarland enjoys most of the calibration and control of the meteorological effects of large bodies of water, it has witnessed many extreme weather events. The highest temperature ever recorded and confirmed by the meteorological service was 39.0 ° on July 25, 1993 at Ternopol in Lusivets, while the lowest temperature was -27.5 ° on January 4, 1969, recorded at Lepšiškė, Rautensey. Natural meteorological hazards in Eastarland include wildfires, hurricanes, as well as thunderstorms, floods, storm surges and landslides.

In the Crown Land of Lusivec, the Orthodox Church is extremely widespread among a deeply religious fanatical population.  It is the official religion of the region, but is semi-official in the Kingdom, meaning it does not receive any government funding.  This led to the fact that over the past 130 years the number of Orthodox churches and cathedrals has decreased from 318 at the time of the annexation of the region, to 72 at the moment.

==Administrative division==
==Administrative division==


Eastarland is a unitary kingdom, consisting of 18 Crown Lands ('''Kronelandeter''') and Klausberg Metropolitan Region , Crown Lands can be divided into counties ('''Folker'''), districts into cities and communities ('''Kommuner'''), some communities into urban areas ('''Urbanmrōder'''). The main units of local administration are communities. Below is a list of the crown lands.  
Eastarland is a federal Empire made up of 20 States (Stater): 18 Monarchies, the Governor-Generalship of Lusivets and the Hansakalns Capital Region. There are 3 Kingdoms, 2 Principalities, 5 Grand Duchies, 8 Duchies in Eastarland. States can be divided into districts (Novads), districts into cities and communities (Kopienas), some communities into urban areas (Pilsētas). Communities are the main units of local administration. The city of Hansakalns is also considered a region, but its institutions are different from those of the States: the city council acts as the regional legislature, and the mayor acts as the elected representative. Each of the States has its own budget and independence in its allocation.  
The city of Klausberg is also considered a region, but its institutions are different from those of the King's Lands: the city council acts as the regional legislature, and the mayor acts as the elected representative. Each of the lands of the Crown has its own budget and partial independence in matters of its distribution.

In areas with high natural soil fertility, the main crops are wheat, barley, maize and sugar beets. The poorer soils of the Northern Lowland and the middle-altitude mountains are traditionally used for sowing rye, oats, potatoes and natural forage crops. The traditional nature of Eastarlandian agriculture has significantly changed technological progress. Today, the so-called light soils are valued more, due to their suitability for machine cultivation, using artificial fertilizers; for example, corn is now widely cultivated in the Northern Lowlands, where it replaces potatoes.

Etymology

History

13th - 14th centuries

Livurian pioneer travelers. "On the shores of a new land"

Until the end of the 12th century, the territory of modern Eastarland was uninhabited land with vast impenetrable dense forests. It was inhabited by a large number of animal species that have survived from prehistoric times.
The Slavic tribes of the Samts lived around this wooded mountainous area, mainly on the northwest coast. Their main occupation was hunting, fishing and gathering.

Red - Labunavos; Blue - Sauslaukė
Green - Kalnciems
Purple - Pacēlums
Pink - Vikonys; Yellow - Padegliai

The first Livurian colonists from the southeastern Thrismari continent of Anteria arrived on the southwestern coast of present-day Eastarland between 1199 and 1218.
The first city, Labunavos, was founded in 1213. Three years later - the city of Sauslaukė. Over time, more and more settlers arrived, driven by the desire to build a new life, to enrich themselves on new, untouched by man, rich lands. By the 80s of the 13th century, five kingdoms had already been founded - Horten, Sauslaukė, Labunavos, Vikonys and Padegliai; and one city-state Kalnciems.
In 1237, the King of Sauslaukė landed on the left bank of the Strait of Malsund and founds the Duchy of Varšpils, with its capital in the fortress of the same name.

At the beginning of the 14th century, the "Colonization Race" began - a race between five kingdoms for control of the richest regions with gold, diamonds, coal and sources of drinking water. By the 1350s, the richest explored lands belonged to the kingdoms of Labunavos and Horten. However, the richest and largest trading port was the Commercial Republic of Kalnciems.
Due to the low duties on export and import goods in the city, free traders preferred to conduct their trade there. Having become, in fact, a trade monopoly, the city quickly grew rich, merchants from all kingdoms and from overseas countries came there. Schools and universities were built, Kalnciems had a law on religious tolerance for all religions, which many other states of that time did not have.

Geografy

Relief

Physical map of Eastarland

Eastarland is located in the central part of the western coast of the Meredonne continent of Anteria, bordered by Ykanjo in the south, Gavrilia in the northwest and the Pomekli desert in the northeast. In addition, it has an internal Alkai Sea, which connects with the Kaldaz Ocean in the west through the Gullö Strait, and with the Castarilian Sea in the east through the Šedava Strait. The territorial extent of Eastarland covers an area of ​​612,097 km2, 3.1% or 18,975 km2 of which are water areas.

Its most notable feature is the abundance of diverse topographic and geological features accumulated over the course of its turbulent geographic history. The Baltkalns Mountains in the center of the country are the highest elevations, with Zaļalance summit (3243 meters), and numerous deserts and small ridges dot the northeastern region. The coastal areas are dominated by two low-lying agricultural and lightly forested plains.

These regions are crossed by some of the longest and largest rivers, including Paranda, Nivala, Čiūrai, and are distinguished by an abundance of waterways and lakes, the most notable of which is Lake Tālava. Due to its geological activity and varied landscape, Eastarland is a treasure trove of numerous natural resources and biodiverse habitats.

Climate

Eastarland temperature zones; from cooler blue to hotter brown

Eastarland is entirely located in the temperate zone in the eastern zone of the planet and in the transition zone between the subtropical climate in the south and the desert climate in the north. The climate is also influenced by the Kalf Stream, which is responsible for unusually high average annual temperatures at this local latitude, providing Eastarland with mostly humid and soft oceanic air. The influence of the World Ocean is significantly reduced when moving from west to east. A maritime climate with small temperature fluctuations between winter and summer is observed along the coastlines (Jurbarkas, Zhuklia, Zhaluky), adjacent hinterlands and regions, while seasonal temperature fluctuations increase when traveling south, to Kierinki and Jurkrasts. However, significant climatic differences also arise from the difficult and rugged terrain, which makes it difficult for warm and cold air to pass, especially in the central regions of Eastarland.

The average annual temperature, based on national measurements from 1950-2000, is approximately 8.6 ° C, and the amount of precipitation for the country is estimated at 596.8 mm. While Eastarland enjoys most of the calibration and control of the meteorological effects of large bodies of water, it has witnessed many extreme weather events. The highest temperature ever recorded and confirmed by the meteorological service was 39.0 ° on July 25, 1993 at Ternopol in Lusivets, while the lowest temperature was -27.5 ° on January 4, 1969, recorded at Lepšiškė, Rautensey. Natural meteorological hazards in Eastarland include wildfires, hurricanes, as well as thunderstorms, floods, storm surges and landslides.

Protestant Cathedral of St. Jacob, Labunavos

According to the amendment to the Constitution of the Empire of Eastarland, the Empire of Eastarland is a secular state with secular values ​​and views. The church is separated from the state, and the schools from the church. There is also a ban on secondary education in parish schools.

In the Governor-Generalship of Lusivets, the Orthodox Church is extremely widespread among a deeply religious fanatical population. It is the official religion of the region, but is semi-official in the Empire, meaning it does not receive any government funding. This led to the fact that over the past 130 years the number of Orthodox churches and cathedrals has decreased from 318 at the time of the annexation of the region, to 72 at the moment.

According to universal law, any kind of discrimination based on affiliation with any religion, incitement to wrongdoing, incitement to hatred, causing physical, psychological or financial harm is prohibited to freedom of religion, and is punishable.

The most densely populated are 3 States: Selia, Jurbarkas and Taavetti (the average population density is 440 people / km2 and more; the maximum indicators are observed in urbanized areas - over 600 people / km2). Largely due to this, Eastarland is one of the countries with the most developed transport and information infrastructure. 90.5 million people, or 93% of the country's population, use the Internet. Eastarland had over 10 million fixed telephones and 12.5 million mobile telephones in 2002-2003.

Ethnically, the population of Eastarland is very mono-ethnic. The largest ethnic minority in Eastarland are the Lusivetians, but of the total population of the country, their number is 4.7%, which is just over 4.5 million people. This nationality is located entirely in the northern state of Lusivets. The annexation of this region was preceded by a war between the Kingdom of Ōsallandet and the Principality of Lusivets. However, in the Empire they not only do not have a special status, but are also non-citizens (they have a passport of a non-citizen of Eastarland, which deprives them of the right to all political activities, such as creating or joining political parties, voting in elections at any level, participating in referendums. It also deprives them of the right to serve in the army).

Language

In the Eastarland Empire, three languages of the Livurian group are officially recognized as equal state languages (Letian, Levurian, Trondic). Also in the northeastern lands of Lusivets, the Lusivetian language is widely spoken and has the status of a recognized regional language of the national minority.

Letian language

Eastarland state language is Letian language (self-name - Letiešu valoda), along with Levurian and Trondic, it is one of the official languages of the Eastarland Empire and is the language of government, legislation and judicial proceedings, about 51 million people speak Letian (most of them live in Eastarland), and is the most common. It is estimated that 57% of the population speak Letian as their first language, while close to 87% are estimated to have a high level of proficiency in the language.
The first written monuments appeared in the 11th century. The modern Letian Latin-based alphabet contains 33 letters.

The stress is fixed on the first syllable. By morphological structure, is an inflectional and synthetic language. The syntax is characterized by a relatively free word order, the basic one being the SVO order. The vocabulary is mostly primordial, Germanisms prevail among the borrowings.

Levurian and Trondic languages

Levurian (self-name - Lievurių kalba) and Trondic (self-name - Trōnski keel) are widely-spoken languages of the Livurian group, both of these languages are enshrined in the Eastarland constitution as co-official national languages. Speakers of the two languages have the right to be use their native tongue in government and business across the country, and the languages are used on signage alongside Letian. Levurian is estimated to be the first language of 12% of the population, while the figure is estimated to be 17% for Trondic.
Both languages have been known since the middle of the 11th century, and are based on the Latin alphabet, containing 32 letters each.

In Eastarland schools, it compulsorary for students to learn Letian and their national tongue of either Levurian and Trondic, in addition to one foreign language up to the age of 14.

Lusivetian

There are other minority languages spoken alongside Levurian and Trondic. Lusivetian (self-name - Лузиветский язык), spoken in the northeast, is recognised as a regional minority language, and a number of languages have been brought to the country by immigrant communities. According to the 2017 census, 4.7% of the population speaks a Lusivetian language.

Education

Hansakalna Valsts Universitāte (HVU), Eastarland's oldest university in Hansakalns

Education in Eastarland is compulsory from 3 to 16 years old. From 2020, studies between the ages of 16 and 18 will be compulsory (this can be education, employment or civil service). The basic principles of Eastarlandian education are: freedom of teaching (public and private institutions), free education, neutrality of education, secularism, non-religious education.
Eastarland legislation guarantees its citizens a universal secondary education (school attendance is not a prerequisite, and about 1200 children are homeschooled).

The school year lasts 188 days and the municipalities distribute them independently between the autumn and spring semesters; most often, the first half of the year lasts 89 training days, and the spring - 98. Classes begin in August and end at the end of May. Schools pay attention to ensuring the safety of children and the educational process.

The child goes to the school closest to home, but there is a tendency among parents to send their children to educational institutions that are more prestigious from their point of view. If the school is more than two and a half kilometers away, then according to the law, the student (up to the 6th grade) must be brought back and forth by taxi at the expense of the municipality. The school gives out textbooks and all stationery free of charge and teaches the Letian language, mathematics, natural science, and home economics. Education in the basics of religion (Protestantism or Catholicism) occurs only with parental consent and in accordance with the religion. Atheists have the right to allow secular ethics to be taught to a child, and if objected, children are exempt from any of the courses. The library shelves are in the hallway and are freely accessible.

Labunavos State University

There are no grades in the lower grades; verbal gradation is used: excellent, good, changeable and “training required”. Starting from the 4th grade, grades are put in the range from 4 to 10 points. There are also grades for behavior - the ability to work in a group and alone, good breeding, and the desire to influence others for the better.
From grade 3, the first foreign language is added to the subjects - English. A foreign-speaking child (for example, from an immigrant family) is entitled to learn his native language from the first grade.

In the lower grades, subjects are combined (chemistry with physics and biology, language with literature) and home economics is taught to everyone, regardless of gender. They write a lot in the school: all kinds of essays are designed to teach the child to have his own opinion on each issue and to express it in literary language.

Higher education, like primary education, is completely free for citizens of the country, as well as exchange students. For other groups of students, paid tuition has been introduced since 2016, the cost of which will be ~ 4 thousand ducats per year.

Government

Eastarland is a federal constitutional monarchy. The main law of the state is the constitution (Satversme), adopted on May 17, 1855. It regulates the functioning of the Empire's authorities: it establishes a monarchical constitutional-parliamentary form of government.

The political structure of Eastarland consists of the Monarch of the Eastarland, who is the head of state, the Prime Minister of Eastarland, the government, the head of which is the Prime Minister, the parliament, which consists of two chambers: the Seima and the Senate, and the Constitutional Council.

At the local level, power is represented by the leadership of the Kingdoms, Principalities, Grand Duchies and Duchies, counties, and communes.

Constitution

The Constitution (Satversme) of Eastarland regulates the relationship between the legislative and executive branches, and also enshrines the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens. The constitution consists of four basic laws:

The Form of Government Act guarantees citizens the right to hold demonstrations, form political parties and practice their religion.

The Act of Succession defines the rights of members of the Farenburg dynasty to the Eastarland throne.

The Freedom of the Press Act establishes the principles of an open society and guarantees general access to official information. According to it, anyone has the right to access the documents of the Kejsarstag, the government and other state bodies, including any financial statements. Another important principle of the Freedom of the Press Act is freedom of information transfer, which means that Eastarland citizens have the right to provide any information to the media. At the same time, a journalist or publisher has no right to disclose his source if the person who provided it wishes to remain anonymous.

The Freedom of Expression Act, which came into force in 1992, largely reflects the principles already enshrined in the Freedom of the Press Act, such as the unconditional prohibition on censorship, freedom of transfer of information and the right to anonymity.

The provisions of the Constitution take precedence over all other legislative acts, and no law can contradict it. In order to amend the Constitution (Satversme), the Seima must adopt it in two readings - before and after the next parliamentary elections.

Executive power

The Prime Minister directs government activities and enforces laws.

Ieva Ulmania , Prime Minister of Eastarland

The Prime Minister is appointed by the monarch. The confirmation of his candidacy by the States General is not required, since the Seima has the right to declare a vote of no confidence in the government at any time. Usually the Prime Minister represents the party with the majority of seats in the Seima. The Prime Minister draws up a list of ministers in his cabinet and submits it to the Monarch for approval.

The Prime Minister initiates the adoption of laws in the Seima and ensures their implementation, he is also responsible for national defense. The Prime Minister replaces the Monarch as Chairman of Councils and Committees.

Since July 2, 2019, the government is headed by Ieva Ulmania.

In particular, in 2018, 4198 entry permits for family reunification were issued, which is 70% less than in 2013, and 1038 people were granted political asylum (82.5% less). At the same time, over the period 2013-2018, the number of those who received a study visa increased from 10 to 28.4 thousand people (an increase of 2.8 times), and those who entered on a work visa - from 5.9 to 12.8 thousand people (an increase 100%). In 2019, the measures were further tightened - in particular, a point system was introduced for spouses of immigrants wishing to enter the country.

Economy

Industry

Extraction of iron and uranium ores, bauxite is carried out. Leading manufacturing industries are mechanical engineering, including automotive, electrical and electronic (TVs, washing machines, etc.), aviation, shipbuilding (tankers, sea ferries) and machine tools. Eastarland is one of the world's largest manufacturers of chemical and petrochemical products (including synthetic rubber, plastics, mineral fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and others), ferrous and non-ferrous (aluminum, lead and zinc) metals. Eastarlandian clothing and footwear, jewelry, cheeses are well known in the world market (about 700 varieties are produced).

Agriculture

Eastarland has a highly productive agriculture. It occupies a leading position in the world in terms of agricultural production, grain production, livestock products and milk. Eastarland is a land of predominantly small family farms. Agricultural production efficiency is very high. At the same time Eastarland lags behind in the average yield of corn and sugar beet. In the agro-industrial complex, agriculture plays a subordinate role.

Germany selskoe hozyistvo 1.jpg

Livestock breeding provides about 70% of marketable agricultural products. Cattle breeding is the main branch of animal husbandry, it provides more than 2/5 of all marketable agricultural products, with the main part being milk (about ¼). Pig breeding is in second place. The country's self-sufficiency in milk and beef systematically exceeds 100%, but in pork it is less than 4/5.

Dairy and beef cattle breeding is most typical for well-moistened coastal areas, rich in meadows and pastures, as well as for the periphery of urban agglomerations. Due to the rather cold winter, stall keeping is common. Pig breeding is developed everywhere, but especially in areas close to the ports of import of imported feed, areas of sugar beet, potato and fodder root crops cultivation. Broiler production, production of eggs, veal, and pig breeding are concentrated in large livestock farms, the location of which depends little on natural factors. There are much more fodder crops than food crops, since a large amount of fodder grains, especially corn, are imported. However, the country ranked (2014) seventh in the world in terms of wheat exports (8.2 million tons). Of great importance is the cultivation of fodder root crops (fodder beets, etc.), corn for green fodder and silage, alfalfa, clover and other fodder grasses. Of the oilseeds, the most important is rapeseed, the crops of which are more than 10 times higher than those of sunflower.

In areas with high natural soil fertility, the main crops are wheat, barley, maize and sugar beets. The poorer soils of the Northern Lowland and the middle-altitude mountains are traditionally used for sowing rye, oats, potatoes and natural forage crops. The traditional nature of Eastarland agriculture has significantly changed technological progress. Today, the so-called light soils are valued more, due to their suitability for machine cultivation, using artificial fertilizers; for example, corn is now widely cultivated in the Northern Lowlands, where it replaces potatoes.

Viticulture surpasses, in marketable products, fruit growing and vegetable growing combined. Vineyards are located mainly in the valleys of Gaudava, Tekkava and other rivers.
