'''The Unitary Republic of Swinas''', or '''Swinas''' for short, is a country with a diverse landscape that includes the temperate climate and varied terrain of '''North Swinas''', as well as the mostly desert landscape of '''South Swinas'''. The country's biggest city and capital is '''Cape Cresta City''', located in North Swinas. '''Swinas''' is situated near the middle of the '''Hiraethia''' continent and has a growing interest in space exploration. Additionally, '''Swinas''' has a unique cuisine that's famous for its unusual pizza toppings. The history and culture of '''Swinas''' are shaped by the contrast between t'''he North and South regions''', as well as the heritage of the indigenous people of '''South Swinas'''. Swinas offers a fantastic blend of natural beauty, delicious food, and technological advancements that make it an exciting and distinctive destination for tourists and researchers alike.
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.

[[File:swishindeginous.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Photo taken of Indeginous Swish]]
Before the arrival of the '''Riamese colonizers''', the deserts of '''South Swinas''' were controlled by the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''', an indigenous tribe with a rich history and culture. The '''Kawhaibia''' people had developed unique methods of survival and adaptation to the harsh desert environment, and had built a prosperous civilization. The last emperor of the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''' was '''Emperor Annikki''', who, according to local accounts, politely handed the '''Riamese''' the crown and walked away. This act of peaceful surrender allowed for a relatively smooth transition of power and allowed the '''Kawhaibia''' people to maintain a significant degree of autonomy and cultural preservation under the rule of the '''Riamese''' colonizers. Today, the legacy of the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''' continues to play an important role in the cultural identity of '''South Swinas''' and its people.


The '''Riamese colonization''' of '''Swinas''' began in the '''early 20th century''', when '''Riamese explorers''' and traders first arrived in the region. Initially, the '''Riamese''' encountered friendly relations with the indigenous tribes, who were welcoming of outsiders and willing to establish trade and cultural exchange. The '''Riamese''' established a number of settlements and trading posts, which served as a base for further expansion into the interior. The colonization brought changes to the region, with the introduction of new technologies, religions and cultures, but also brought positive developments such as education and healthcare. The '''Riamese''' and the indigenous people of '''Swinas''' developed a peaceful coexistence, allowing both cultures to learn from one another and benefit from their interactions. This led to a relatively smooth transition of power and allowed the indigenous people to maintain a significant degree of autonomy and cultural preservation under the rule of the Riamese colonizers. The legacy of the friendly relationship between the Riamese and the indigenous people of '''Swinas''' continues to play an important role in the cultural identity of '''South Swinas''' and its people.
=== 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.


[[File:Swinas Colonial Flag.png|thumb|150px|right|Colonial Flag of Swinas]]'''Swinas''' gained its independence from '''Riamo''' in 1915, marking the end of colonial rule and the beginning of its journey as a sovereign nation. The process of independence was relatively peaceful, as the '''Riamese''' government had begun to release a number of its colonies at the time. '''Independence Day''', celebrated on the 15th of September, is a national holiday in '''Swinas''', commemorating the country's freedom. After gaining independence, the country faced the challenges of nation-building, including creating a stable government, fair legal system, and diversified economy. Despite the challenges, '''Swinas''' has continued to grow and develop as a sovereign nation, and has a rich history and culture that continues to shape its identity today.
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.


After gaining independence from '''Riamo''' in 1915, '''Swinas''' faced the challenge of building a new nation. A referendum was held to decide on the political system that the country should use, and it was eventually decided that '''Swinas''' would be a Federal Republic. This system was chosen because it would ensure that the different regions of the country would have some degree of autonomy and representation in the government. The country's leaders worked to establish a stable government, a fair and efficient legal system, and an economy that would support the needs of all citizens. In the early years of independence, the country focused on developing its infrastructure, including transportation, communication, and energy systems. Additionally, the government made significant investments in education and healthcare, which helped to improve the overall standard of living for its citizens. Despite facing economic and political challenges, the country was able to establish a stable and prosperous nation, laying the foundations for the future development of the country.
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 '''Swish Civil War''' was a significant event in the history of '''Swinas''', which took place in the late 1920s, after the country's early history of independence. The war was fought between the socialist and democratic factions, with the democratic faction, led by the '''Swish Democratic Faction''', emerging victorious. The war resulted in significant loss of life and destruction of property, and had a severe impact on the country's economy. The country's leaders worked to rebuild the country and establish stability, a fair legal system, and a diversified economy in the aftermath of the war. The causes, events, and aftermath of the war have been well-documented and studied by historians, and more information about it can be found on the [[Swish Civil War]] page. The '''civil war''' played a significant role in shaping the political, social and economic landscape of '''Swinas''' as a nation and it's aftermath continues to have an impact on the country even today.
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


After the victory of the Democratic Faction, they quickly made it an effort to arrest any remaining Socialists in '''Swinas'''. How they did so was sending reserve forces of the '''Civil War''' into the former socialist territory and begin cracking down on Socialism in the area. This period would later be known as "De-Socialism", and in some areas was successful. However, in other areas this act would be largely unsuccessful. This was partly due to the reserve forces facing armed resistance against some socialists. And even in the small-town village of '''Hytra''', many socialists attempted to restart the '''civil war'''. Now of course, this immediately failed, but it goes to shows the resistance the reserves were facing.
=== The Sviina Civil War (1921 A.D. - 1925 A.D.) ===
[[File:SwishCivilWarImage.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Image of Swish Democratic Reserves]]
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.
In the aftermath of the war, the country's leaders worked to establish stability, a fair legal system, and a diversified economy. Despite their efforts, some residual socialist elements within the country remained, and the '''Swish Democratic Faction''' made it a priority to neutralize these threats. They did so by sending reserve forces of the '''Civil War''' into former socialist territory and cracking down on any remaining socialist activities. This period became known as "De-Socialism" and was met with varying levels of success.


In some areas, the De-Socialism campaign was effective in curbing socialist influence, however, in others, it was largely unsuccessful. The reserve forces faced armed resistance from some socialists, such as in the small town of '''Hytra''', where many socialists attempted to restart the '''civil war'''. Although this effort was immediately thwarted, it highlights the level of resistance faced by the reserve forces.
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.


== Politics ==
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.


=== Amelia Norris ===
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.
[[File:AmeliaNorris.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Image of Amelia Norris]]During the elections of 2021, '''Amelia Norris''', a Liberal Politician, ran for president of the formerly Federal Republic of '''Swinas'''. She campaigned on a platform of unity and modernization, emphasizing her commitment to improving the lives of all citizens and fostering a sense of national pride. Her campaign was fierce and competitive, as she faced several strong candidates from different political parties. Despite this, '''Amelia Norris''' emerged victorious, winning a majority of the votes in the election. With her victory, she became the 3rd woman to become president of '''Swinas'''. Her win was seen as a significant milestone in the country's political history, as it demonstrated the increasing participation and influence of women in the political sphere. Her presidency was marked by a number of significant reforms and achievements in areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure development, as well as uniting all the Swish provinces into one singular state.


===Foreign Relations===
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.
The Unitary Republic of '''Swinas''' has a history of good relations with other countries, particularly with the democracies of Hylia and Trident Union, both are non-bordering countries. These countries have strong diplomatic ties, with regular high-level visits and meetings between government officials. The countries also have a strong economic partnership, with a significant amount of trade and investment taking place between them.


'''Swinas''' and '''Hylia''' have a long-standing friendship, founded on shared values such as democracy, human rights and free trade. They have cooperated on various international issues, such as peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid, and have a strong relationship in cultural exchange.
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.


Trident Union, being a faraway country, also has a strong relationship with the country. The two countries have a mutual defense agreement and have cooperated on various issues such as counterterrorism, drug trafficking and illegal migration. '''Swinas''' and '''Trident Union''' also have a strong economic partnership, with many Swish companies investing in Trident Union and vice versa.
== 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.


'''Swinas''' also maintains cordial relations with other countries in the region and is active in regional organizations such as the '''Anterian Peace League'''. Overall, the Unitary Republic of '''Swinas''' is committed to promoting peace and stability in the international community and has a history of maintaining good relations with other countries. The country's foreign policy is based on the principles of non-interference, mutual respect, and cooperation with other nations.
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.  


== Economy ==
[[Category:Anteria]] [[Category:Countries]] [[Category:Countries in Anteria]] [[Category:Swinas]]
 
For a brief period of time after independence in 1915, '''Swinas''' kept the '''Riamese''' currency. However, with the help from the '''Riamese''', the country soon established its own currency, the '''Swish Ram''', named after an old goat religion that was practiced by the indigenous people of '''Swinas'''. The '''Swish Ram''' quickly became the main currency used throughout the country, and it was widely accepted by merchants and businesses. In addition to the '''Swish Ram''', the country also established the '''Swish Buckling''', which was used for the paying of non-dollar increments. This system helped to ensure that the country's economy was stable and that the currency was easily accessible to all citizens. Today, the '''Swish Ram''' and the '''Swish Buckling''' are still in use and continue to play an important role in the country's economy.
 
== Geography ==
 
===Environment===
'''Swinas''' has taken various measures to preserve and protect its natural resources. One of the key steps taken by the government is the establishment of national parks and nature reserves to safeguard the country's flora and fauna. '''Swinas''' has a total of 28 protected areas covering a vast area of land, including forests, wetlands, and marine ecosystems.
 
Furthermore, '''Swinas''' has implemented strict regulations on logging and mining to prevent deforestation and environmental degradation. The country has also invested in sustainable forestry practices, such as selective logging and reforestation programs, to ensure the long-term health of its forests. The government has also encouraged the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind power, to reduce the reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
 
In addition, '''Swinas''' has implemented policies to reduce pollution and improve air and water quality. The government has implemented regulations on vehicle emissions, and industrial facilities are required to meet stringent environmental standards. The country has also invested in wastewater treatment facilities to ensure that wastewater is treated before being released back into the environment.
 
Overall, '''Swinas''' is committed to preserving and protecting its natural resources for future generations. The country's efforts to promote sustainable development have not only helped to preserve its unique ecosystems but have also created new opportunities for eco-tourism and sustainable economic growth.
===Rivers===
'''Swinas''' is blessed with two major rivers, the '''Dandora''' and the '''Kishwara''', which play a vital role in the country's ecosystem and economy.
 
The '''Dandora River''' is the longer of the two, stretching over 600 kilometers from its source in the highlands of the north to its outlet in the '''Talsar Sea'''. Along its course, the '''Dandora''' provides a lifeline for both human and animal communities, with countless towns and villages settled along its banks. The river also supports a wide range of agricultural activities, with farmers utilizing its fertile floodplains for rice, sugarcane, and other crops.
 
The '''Kishwara River''', on the other hand, is relatively shorter, but no less important. It begins in the hills of the west and flows through dense forested areas and rocky terrain, creating stunning waterfalls and providing habitats for a variety of wildlife. The river is also a critical source of water for many communities in the region, supplying clean water for drinking, cooking, and washing.
 
Despite their importance, both rivers are facing numerous threats, including pollution from industrial activities, agricultural runoff, and urbanization. To combat these threats, the '''Swinas''' government has implemented several measures to protect the rivers and their surrounding ecosystems. These measures include the creation of protected areas and conservation zones, the establishment of monitoring programs, and the enactment of laws and regulations to control pollution and other harmful activities.
 
The government has also encouraged community-based initiatives to protect and conserve the rivers. For example, local organizations have been established to clean up the rivers and their surroundings, plant trees to prevent soil erosion and promote biodiversity, and educate the public about the importance of protecting these precious resources.
 
Overall, the '''Dandora''' and '''Kishwara''' Rivers are essential components of '''Swinas'''' natural heritage, and their protection and conservation are vital for the country's sustainable development.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
