'''The 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.

Prior to the arrival of '''Riamese''' colonizers, the deserts in '''South Swinas''' were under the control of the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''', an indigenous tribe with a rich cultural history. The '''Kawhaibia''' people had developed unique methods of survival and adaptation to the harsh desert environment, building a prosperous civilization. Emperor Annikki was the final ruler of the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''' and, according to local accounts, he politely handed over the crown to the '''Riamese''' and walked away. This peaceful surrender allowed for a smooth transition of power and allowed the '''Kawhaibia''' people to maintain significant autonomy and cultural preservation under '''Riamese''' rule. Today, the legacy of the '''Kawhaibia Dynasty''' remains an important part of the cultural identity of '''South Swinas''' and its people.


Initially, the '''Riamese''' encountered a friendly welcome from the indigenous tribes, who were open to establishing trade and cultural exchange. This led to the establishment of settlements and trading posts, which acted as a base for the '''Riamese''' to expand further into the interior. With colonization came the introduction of new technologies, religions and cultures, and also positive developments such as education and healthcare. Despite these changes, the '''Riamese''' and the indigenous people of '''Swinas''' maintained a peaceful coexistence. This allowed both cultures to learn from one another and benefit from their interactions, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. The result was a relatively smooth transition of power and significant autonomy for the indigenous people of '''Swinas''', preserving their cultural identity under '''Riamese''' rule. The legacy of this peaceful coexistence 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]]In 1915, '''Swinas''' gained its independence from '''Riamo''', signaling the end of colonial rule and the beginning of its journey as a sovereign nation. The process of gaining independence was relatively peaceful, as the '''Riamese''' government had already begun to release several of its colonies at that time. '''Independence Day''' is a national holiday in '''Swinas''', celebrated every 15th of September to commemorate the country's freedom. After gaining independence, the country faced the daunting task of nation-building, which included establishing a stable government, fair legal system, and diversified economy. Despite the challenges, '''Swinas''' continued to grow and develop as a sovereign nation, with a rich history and culture that continue 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.


Following the achievement of independence from '''Riamo''' in 1915, '''Swinas''' faced the monumental task of constructing a new nation. To determine the most suitable political system for the country, a referendum was conducted, ultimately leading to the establishment of a Federal Republic. This decision was made to ensure a degree of autonomy and representation for the various regions in the government. The country's leaders concentrated on creating a stable government, establishing an effective legal system, and implementing an economy that would cater to the needs of all citizens. In the early post-independence years, the government invested heavily in the development of the country's infrastructure, such as transportation, communication, and energy systems. Furthermore, significant investments were made in education and healthcare, leading to a better quality of life for the citizens. Despite encountering economic and political obstacles, the country succeeded in creating a stable and prosperous nation, laying the foundation for future development.
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 major event in the history of '''Swinas''', occurring in the late 1920s, after the country gained its independence. The war pitted socialist and democratic factions against one another, with the democratic faction, led by the '''Swish Democratic Faction''', emerging as the victor. The conflict resulted in a significant loss of life and widespread destruction of property, causing severe economic damage to the country. Following the war, the country's leaders worked tirelessly to rebuild and establish stability, a fair legal system, and a diversified economy. The causes, events, and aftermath of the war have been extensively researched and documented by historians, with more information available on the [[Swish Civil War]] page. The impact of the '''civil war''' on the political, social, and economic landscape of '''Swinas''' continues to be felt to this day, and its legacy has played a significant role in shaping the country's history and identity.
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


Following the victory of the Democratic Faction, efforts were made to arrest any remaining Socialists in '''Swinas'''. To achieve this, reserve forces of the '''Civil War''' were deployed to the former socialist territories to crack down on socialism in the area. This period was later referred to as "De-Socialism" and was successful in some areas, but largely unsuccessful in others. In some cases, the reserve forces faced armed resistance from some socialists, making it difficult to enforce this policy. Even in the small village of '''Hytra''', some socialists attempted to restart the '''civil war''', although their efforts quickly failed. This resistance demonstrated the challenges faced by the reserves in carrying out their duties.
=== 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.


== Military ==
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.
[[File:Militarys.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Image of The Swish Armed Forces]]The Swish military, also known as the Swish Armed Forces, is responsible for the defense and security of the Swish nation. It consists of the Swish Army, Swish Navy, Swish Air Force, and the Swish National Guard. The Swish military is under the command of the Ministry of Defense, which is headed by the Defense Minister.


The Swish Armed Forces (SAF) is composed of three main branches: the Swish Army, the Swish Navy, and the Swish Air Force. The SAF is primarily tasked with defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Swinas, as well as maintaining peace and stability within the country.
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.


The Swish Army is the largest branch of the SAF, with a force of approximately 250,000 active-duty personnel. Its primary responsibilities include ground-based military operations, such as land defense and counterinsurgency operations. The Swish Army is equipped with a range of modern equipment, including tanks, artillery, and infantry fighting vehicles.
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 Swish Navy is responsible for defending Swinas' maritime interests, including its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone. The Swish Navy has a diverse fleet of vessels, including frigates, corvettes, and patrol boats. The Swish Navy also maintains a small number of submarines for use in special operations and intelligence gathering.
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 Swish Air Force is responsible for conducting air operations in support of ground-based forces and for defending Swinas' airspace. It is equipped with a range of modern aircraft, including fighter jets, transport planes, and helicopters. The Swish Air Force also operates a number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for use in surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
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.


In addition to the three main branches, the SAF also includes several support branches, such as the Swish Special Forces and the Swish Military Police. The Swish Special Forces are responsible for carrying out special operations missions, such as hostage rescues and counter-terrorism operations. The Swish Military Police are responsible for maintaining discipline and enforcing military law within the SAF.
== 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.


Overall, the Swish Armed Forces are considered to be a modern and capable military force, with a strong emphasis on training and readiness. The SAF has participated in a number of international peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, and maintains close ties with military forces from other countries.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
