The nation borders, from clockwise, the XXXX to the west, XXXX to the south and XXX in the north. With a population of 51 million people, its the xth largest nation by population.

The present Cosacakayan nation-state can trace its roots back to the early middle ages when Slavic, proto-Cosacakayank pagans nomads from the east invaded the region; at the time, inhabited by eastern Germanic people. From their position in Cosacakaya, these nomads quickly became notorious across Christendom their brutal raids, the kidnapping of local nobles for ransoms, and the blundering of kingdoms for much of the middle ages. Their reign of terror came to an end in the xxth century, at the Battle of XXXX - where the bulk of the Proto-Cosacakayan Host was killed and the few survivors agreed to convert to Christianity. Later the same year, the Pope recognised the newly proclaimed Cosacakayan Kingdom as a Catholic Apostolic Kingdom.

Mariya Melnyk, the incumbent First Minister

The government of the Republic of Cosacakaya is defined under the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of Cosacakaya as a federal semi-presidential republic . The President Denys Shevchenko is the head of state and represents the "unity of the people" with sweeping executive powers, while the First Minister is the head of government. The government structure centres on the Executive Council of Cosacakaya, led by the President. The 200-seat unicameral parliament, is elected by direct popular vote every five years. The First Minister is elected by popular vote in a separate election by Parliament.

President

The President Denys Shevchenko, serves as the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Cosacakayan Defence Forces. The President's duties were previously limited as a strictly representative and ceremonial role in the domestic politicis, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 3 November 1994 removed previous the limitations. President has sweeping executive and legislative powers. The President also directly controls the foreign affairs and defence portfolios and is capable of issuing laws by decree.

The President is responsible for appointing the Executive Council of Cosacakaya according to the proposals of the parliament and is the leader of both governmental bodies.

Military of Cosacakaya

Main article: Cosacakayan Defence Forces

Members of the Land Force of Cosacakaya practice demounting and taking up defensive positions during a live-fire exercise.

The Cosacakayan Defence Forces currently have four branches, the Land Force of Cosacakaya, the Naval Force of Cosacakaya, the Aviation Force of Cosacakaya and the National Guard of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces is headed by its Chief of General Staff, subordinate to the Executive Council of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces also draws upon the resources of the Military Intelligence Directorate of Cosacakaya.

The Cosacakayan Defence Forces drafts Cosacakayans into the military at the age of 18, with men serving between twelve-to-eighteen months - depending on the branch - before being discharged. Following mandatory service, former conscripts enter the reservist pool and are liable to be called up until their 35th birthday. Women are exempt from conscription. As a result of the Cosacakayan conscription program, the CDF is capable of mobilising an additional 800,000 reservists at wartime to supplement its active troops. The nation's military relies heavily on high-tech weapons systems designed and manufactured abroad and has a small domestic defence industry.

The military has been severely affected by rampant corruption and decay, with limited attempts at modernisation of the Cosacakaya military. In 2018, the Ministry of Defence announced plans to spend up to US$4 billion over the next twelve years, however, the final cost may climb up to $12 billion, to retire outdated equipment and acquire brand new weapons systems.

Transportation

Cosacakaya Railway Firm locomotives.

Railway transport - the most popular and cheapest form of travel - in Cosacakaya was mostly under the control of the state-run Cosacakaya Railway Firm until it's privatisation in 1997. Railway transport connects all major urban areas, port facilities and industrial centres in Cosacakaya and her neighbouring countries. It has a monopoly on all rail traffic; including passenger and cargo. However, since privatisation, the Cosacakaya Railway Firm has been plagued by poor maintenance and efficiency with further shortages of modern trains. All of the country's railroad track use standard gauge

Transport infrastructure in Cosacakaya is under-developed, spanning ground, sea, and air transport. Because of omnipresent corruption in Cosacakaya, much of the country's modern transport network is archaic and in a state of disrepair. Road transport is both widespread and the second most popular form of travel; especially in rural areas. Car ownership is high but undermined by the poor maintenance on most roads.

Transport by air is developing quickly since the privatization of the previously state-owned Cosacakaya Airlines; which now holds hegemony over the air transport sector in the country. Cosacakaya Airlines reportedly maintains a fleet of nearly 40 aircraft and has invested heavily in transport infrastructure with government support.

Activism

During the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis, Alina became increasingly involved with the pro-monarchy, Christian nationalist movement in Cosacakaya. She was heavily involved in activism while still at high school and took part in demonstrations in support of High Archduchess Cyrene. She repeatedly condemned her father for his role in leading pro-democracy demonstrations and opposing his niece.

She began to participate in anti-Konctitki political events during 2018 and 2019 and a participant of several large actions in support of her High Archduchness. When asked about Black Thursday, she described it as one of the "happiest days of her life" and marked "a glorious new era in Cosacakayan history."

She also became involved with the All-Cosacakayan People's Front's youth wing and was one of the lead speakers at a march of commemorating the 5th anniversary of Cyrene III, High Archduchess of Cosacakaya's coronation. She was also one of the leading organisers for the Imperial Restoration League in holding fundraisers in support of the organisation.

However, after 2021, tensions between herself and the Imperial Restoration League began to appear as she complained on social media about them for being "too soft on the Buryat problem." She publicly split with the League in early 2022 and grew to become progressively more caught up with more radical Cosacakayan ultranationalist organisations. Since then, Alina has caused controversy after being spotted with several Cosacakayan far-right leaders - and attending rallies in more support of them.

She has repeatedly called for more harsh treatment of Buryatyan separatist fighters and for the establishment of a pure Cosacakayan ethnostate free of traitorous elements. Such remarks have provoked severe backlash from liberal and non- Cosacakayan identity as Neo-nazi. Singer Reeztochka described Alina as "everything that is wrong with Cosacakayan politics."
