The Imperial Federation of Volsk is nation located in the north eastern Belisaria. The area was officially annexed by the Suvarovan Empire as a result of the 1503 War of the Marsh, although the empire only began the Koz'mogorodskoye colony in 1681 Proclaiming the Volsk territory
'''Volsk''', officially '''The United Volskan Realms''' ('''U.V.R'''), is a country in [[North East belisaria]] and [[North West Ochran]], Bordering Velikoslavia to the West, it has territory in the islands and both sides of the Volskan Straits. Its Southern Belisarian border runs along the Jiklan River, Its Northern coast borders the Boreios Sea. Its largest city is Koz'mogorodskoye.
 
In 1681 the Puskin expedition established the settlement of Koz'mogorodskoye in the south of the newly proclaimed Far Eastern Territory and the territory continued to grow at a moderate pace, with many noble houses establishing mining Penal stations known as Kolmir. In 1812 The tar eastern Territory revolted during the end of the Ludvo Wars, as the perceived liberalization of the Velikoslavian Tsardom was unacceptable to the Noble estates of the east. This began the Eastern Succession Campaign, where a large Far eastern army marched to meet with a force under the Usurper Prince Alexander Sebrakov, meeting and destroying the Velikoslavian eastern army at the battle of Vimesk, before itself was defeated at the battle of Kaluga. The Velikoslavians were unable to take the Fortress of Manzya despite a 3 month siege, the War ending with the peace of Kalhost.
 
The Far eastern Nobles reorganized themselves under the Emperor Alexander Sebrakov as the United Realms of Volsk in the Kihzi Conference which reinstates the Old rights of the nobility. Despite the Successions goal being about the continuation of the old system, the nobility was forced to institute a number of reforms to survive in the isolated and harsh territory with the biggest of these being the creation of a new class of low nobility known as the patricians in 1815 and the reforms to increase agricultural production through the Nadal System in 1817. Beyond this the United Realms sat in a 130 year period of political stability and economic stagnation known as the Great Peace.
 
In the 1930s an increasing population led to urbanization of poor Patricians into a number of small industrial cities, with low wages and poor living standards compared to their rural counterparts led to the First Urban Revolt (1937-1938). While this revolt remained small scale ultimately being put down by the United Armies, it led to significant reform, with the first democratic representation of the patricians with the creation of the assembly house and the movement of 30,000 serfs to the Nobles of the industrial cities in the First Handover. This led to a rapid comparative growth of the industrial capability and led to 8 more handovers of a total of 200,000 serfs, and the liberalization of economic relations with foreign companies. This period came to an end with an occupation of the industrial cities by a coalition of conservative nobles which led to the 2nd Urban Revolt (1975) as urban patrician forces repulsed the Conservative noble forces, sporadic fighting continued for 2 months before a United army offensive crushed both factions. The Third Kihzi Conference led to the establishment of the first civil government of Volsk to limit the power of the nobility, Autonomy of patrician rule of the industrial cities with the Nobles their becoming ceremonial figures, the creation of a new class of skilled urban workers known as the Urban workers. In exchange for this the the Industrial cities could not exceed a population of 500,000, control of the military would be vested in the hands of a Noble elected by the Noble forum and their would be an increased tax levied on industrial goods. This settlement has continued to this day with the increasing economic power of the industrial cities being offset by the exploitation of oil reserves in Noble lands
 
 
 
Volsk self describes itself as a Totalitarian State with a single political party, the Volskan Theocratic National State, a Single ideology, Volskan Theocratic Nationalism, and a single Religion, Volskan Syncrtism. The Volskan Independence Articles states in the first article "that the Volskan Theocratic National State is the total representative of the will of the Volskan people”. Despite its Totalitarian system, in recent years its economy has shown to be semi dynamic and it has seen success.
 
Volsk has a policy of military first or known as "Сонгун". The military has almost 200,000 personel and almost 3.5% of the budget

sorta pointless as at the time neither power really super interested in the claim
=== Early colonial period===
In 1681 the Puskin expedition established the settlement of Koz'mogorodskoye in the South of the newly proclaimed Volsk territory, This First settlement Served mainly for the
trade in Furs, which was successful enough that a number of small trading post began to pop up in the region. Trade with the natives largely fuelled this with many of these posts making alliances with tribes though contract and marriage, forming a complex web of alliances.
=== The Penal Era ===
As the volsk territory grew, the apparatus of the Suvarovan state began to exert itself into the region. Convict labour was seen as the best step forward to develop territory, with Sildor, Baklanikha and Bakz penal colonies being established in 1734. These overwhelming male populations would oftern take wives from the local tribes either through subjugation or alliance creating the first volskans. This intermixing of groups also created the Volskan syncretism religion which was looked past by the small number of orthodoxy. Growth of the region continued at a slow Pace with fishing and hunting remaining the the core economic industries with sulfur and copper mining in small scale.


=== Industrial age (1890s-1970s)===
As Suvarova began to industrialise, The volsk territory saw rapid development first Railway and telephone wires were built in 1905. Mining became the regions most important economic function and many volskans were forcefully relocated into these new Industrial cities, Combined with The Suvarovan central government taking a much more active role in running the territory led to considrble resentment from the local populace. Growth continued in the region until the Economic slowdown of the early 70s presaged the suvarovan Civil war.


==Independence Era==
== Realm of Volsk ==
=== Civil War(1975)===
When civil war broke out the Volsk region originally sided with the central government Providing much needed war materials, however during things quickly turned sour when the central authorities attempted to conscript a Volskan army. This Event, which came to be know as the Great protests, overthrew the existing Government and Proclaimed the Volskan federation. Suvarova was unable to pull forces away to reconquer Volsk and so continued to fight the communist uprising. Seeing its position as Weak, Volsk joined the civil war on the sides of the monarchists in exchange for recognition of Volsk as independent.
=== Post War Era (1975-2003)===
The post war era was a return to the relative stability of the industrial age, A new federal government was established with ten states, which followed a socialistic policy of large government run mining towns. Economically Volsk continued with sluggish growth and with the declining profitability of sulphur mining leaving the entire economy dependant on copper mining. The post war era is oftern looked upon favourably as a time of stability and faith in the government.
 
=== Crash and Shulki era (2003-2021)===
During the winter of 2003 the price of copper crashed, sending the Volski economy tumbling. The Government began to attempt free market liberalisation, although this caused considerable social unrest, culminating in an attempted coup. The economy began to recover slowly during the late 2000s, And the nation began a number of policies to diversify into 3 key areas Geothermal energy production, Aluminium metallurgy and tourism. Despite the relative success of these plans, Volsk remains a largely Monoindustrial state. More

==Government==
==Government==
Volsk is a semi constitutional, federal monarchy, with Tsarina Celya, being head of state with executive power, but day to day business is officially run by her prime minister. It has two houses, the lower and upper house.
The ruling political party in Volsk is the Вольсканское теократическое национальное государство (Volskan Theocratic National State, VOTNA). It was created in 1977, when the 87th naval infantry brigade led a coup to take over the Eastern military command during the Suvarovan civil war. Although originally seen to move towards democracy by 1980 the control of the VOTNA was absolute.
 
Volsk has two main bodies for decsion making with the First being the Vol'skiy Sysshiy Sovet (High council of Volsk, VSS) which contains ten figures from the Party with ultimate authority and act as governors of the ten states of volsk.
 
The lower house is the Vol'skiye Polkovodtsy (Volskan high commanders) with 300 seats, which Serves to represent various interest groups and estates within Volsk. Although it has very little official power it can suggest laws to the High council of Volsk or raise issues.
 
 
The Vol'skiye Polkovodtsy included representatives from the mass organisations of:
 
*Вооруженные силы вольсканской нацииVooruzhennyye (sily vol'skanskoy natsii, Armed forces of the Volskan nation, AFVN)
 
*Командование государства и порядка ( Komandovaniyei poryadka, Command of State and Order, KSO)
 
*Командование экономией (Komandovaniye ekonomiyey, Command of Economy, KE)
 
*Kоманда науки (Komanda Nauki, Command of Science, KS)
 
*Командование народным трудом (Komandovaniye narodnym trudom, Command of National Labor, KNT)
 
*Командование Вольсканского государства (Komandovaniye Vol'skanskogo gosudarstva, Command of Volskan States, KVG)
 
*Вольсканские дворянские усадьбы (Vol'skanskiye dvoryanskiye usad'by, Volskan noble estates, VDU)
 
Volsk is unique as it does not have a separation between church and state, with the role of the Volskan church being rolled into the Sub-Command of Education and Information Services.
 
== Ideology ==
Volskan Theocratic Nationalism has been described by outside commentators as openly Invictus, ultra-nationalist, and hyper-militarist. The origins of Volskan Theocratic Nationalism came from the first missionaries mixing the Traditional Volskan Slavic religion within their own teachings, particularly the figure of Jesus and the figure of a Volskan Warrior God called Bronetra, This led to the creation of the Volskan 3rd Book which is a rewriting and mixing of the traditonal tales and songs of Bronetra. The book tells the story that after Christ had risen, he came north to the land of Volsk, who upon seeing the land full of degenerate tribes of men and sickly animals, he led the Volskans to cleanse the lands.

Volsk, officially The United Volskan Realms (U.V.R), is a country in North East belisaria and North West Ochran, Bordering Velikoslavia to the West, it has territory in the islands and both sides of the Volskan Straits. Its Southern Belisarian border runs along the Jiklan River, Its Northern coast borders the Boreios Sea. Its largest city is Koz'mogorodskoye.

In 1681 the Puskin expedition established the settlement of Koz'mogorodskoye in the south of the newly proclaimed Far Eastern Territory and the territory continued to grow at a moderate pace, with many noble houses establishing mining Penal stations known as Kolmir. In 1812 The tar eastern Territory revolted during the end of the Ludvo Wars, as the perceived liberalization of the Velikoslavian Tsardom was unacceptable to the Noble estates of the east. This began the Eastern Succession Campaign, where a large Far eastern army marched to meet with a force under the Usurper Prince Alexander Sebrakov, meeting and destroying the Velikoslavian eastern army at the battle of Vimesk, before itself was defeated at the battle of Kaluga. The Velikoslavians were unable to take the Fortress of Manzya despite a 3 month siege, the War ending with the peace of Kalhost.

The Far eastern Nobles reorganized themselves under the Emperor Alexander Sebrakov as the United Realms of Volsk in the Kihzi Conference which reinstates the Old rights of the nobility. Despite the Successions goal being about the continuation of the old system, the nobility was forced to institute a number of reforms to survive in the isolated and harsh territory with the biggest of these being the creation of a new class of low nobility known as the patricians in 1815 and the reforms to increase agricultural production through the Nadal System in 1817. Beyond this the United Realms sat in a 130 year period of political stability and economic stagnation known as the Great Peace.

In the 1930s an increasing population led to urbanization of poor Patricians into a number of small industrial cities, with low wages and poor living standards compared to their rural counterparts led to the First Urban Revolt (1937-1938). While this revolt remained small scale ultimately being put down by the United Armies, it led to significant reform, with the first democratic representation of the patricians with the creation of the assembly house and the movement of 30,000 serfs to the Nobles of the industrial cities in the First Handover. This led to a rapid comparative growth of the industrial capability and led to 8 more handovers of a total of 200,000 serfs, and the liberalization of economic relations with foreign companies. This period came to an end with an occupation of the industrial cities by a coalition of conservative nobles which led to the 2nd Urban Revolt (1975) as urban patrician forces repulsed the Conservative noble forces, sporadic fighting continued for 2 months before a United army offensive crushed both factions. The Third Kihzi Conference led to the establishment of the first civil government of Volsk to limit the power of the nobility, Autonomy of patrician rule of the industrial cities with the Nobles their becoming ceremonial figures, the creation of a new class of skilled urban workers known as the Urban workers. In exchange for this the the Industrial cities could not exceed a population of 500,000, control of the military would be vested in the hands of a Noble elected by the Noble forum and their would be an increased tax levied on industrial goods. This settlement has continued to this day with the increasing economic power of the industrial cities being offset by the exploitation of oil reserves in Noble lands


Volsk self describes itself as a Totalitarian State with a single political party, the Volskan Theocratic National State, a Single ideology, Volskan Theocratic Nationalism, and a single Religion, Volskan Syncrtism. The Volskan Independence Articles states in the first article "that the Volskan Theocratic National State is the total representative of the will of the Volskan people”. Despite its Totalitarian system, in recent years its economy has shown to be semi dynamic and it has seen success.
