'''Vistulzka''' ({{wp|Polish language|Vistulzkan}}: ''Wiślańska''; {{wpl|Hungarian language|Hetumogye}}: ''Visztulaszág''; {{wpl|Ukrainian language|Prykordonnyan}}: Віслаьща), officially the '''Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka''' and often times referred to as the '''[[Orthodox Republicanism|Orthodox Republic]]''', is a {{wp|sovereign country}} located in [[Western Calesia]].

Vistulzka has been inhabited since the {{wpl|Last Glacial Age}} with various sets of artifacts dating back to the {{wpl|Lower Paleolithic}} period, when the area was dominated by various {{wpl|hunter-gatherers|hunter-gatherer cultures}}. Vistulzka in {{wpl|late antiquity}} was inhabited by a mix of various tribes, known as the [[Proto-Sarmats]]. By the 800's, three paganistic duchies emerged and controlled the land: The [[Duchy of Sarmat|Sarmats]], the [[Duchy of Géza|Gézans]] and the [[Duchy of Pereya|Pereyans]]. In 851, the Duke of the Sarmats [[Casimir III of Sarmat|Casimir III]] converted from paganism to [[Presterism|Presterist Gregorianism]] after the breakup of the First Hernican Empire. His personal conversion and the subsequent conversion of the Sarmats began the [[Sarmat War]], where the Sarmats invaded the Gézans. The war brought parts of the Duchy of Géza under the control of the Sarmats, and union  of the Duchy of Pereya with the Duchy of Sarmat under the [[Treaty of Wełnica]]. The union of Sarmat and Pereya brought a new identity of statehood under a new country, the [[Grand Duchy of Vistulzka]]. In the aftermath of the war, the Gézans also converted towards Presterist Gregorianism and reformed into the [[First Kingdom of Hetumoger]] under Presterist Gregorianic auspices. The new Grand Duchy of Vistulzka became a dominant regional power in Western Calesia.
 
In 953, the Grand Duchy of Vistulzka and the First Kingdom of Hetumoger signed the [[Treaty of Asotthalom]], which led to the creation of the [[Kingdom of Vistulzka and Hetumoger|Vistulzka-Hetumoger Kingdom]]. This kingdom lasted for almost three hundred years. In 1211, Vistulzka-Hetumoger was identified as one of the home states where the [[First Odrodzenie]] began, a revolutionary cultural and political movement. The First Odrodzenie brought about uniquely liberal changes to the internal politics of the Kingdom. Driven primarily by the advocation of {{wpl|civil liberties}}, it cemented Vistulzka's tradition of {{wpl|progressivism}}. Under calls for a new government to be established that better represented the people and guaranteed rights, King Ziemomysł II reorganized the country's political system. The new country rennamed itself from the Kingdom into the [[Noble Republic of Vistulzka and Hetumoger|Vistulzka-Hetumoger Noble Republic]]. The new political system was based off of various ideas that were promogulated during the First Odrodzenie. Ziemomysł II himself still retained significant power, but distributed that power through the political system. The Noble Republic commissioned the [[Vistulzkan Constitution of 1211|Calesia's first constitution]] that was intended to function as a governing principle. It limited the power of the monarchy, creating and empowering a new state-backed legislature, the [[Noble Sejm]]. The Noble Republic continued for over 150 years, and collapsed in 1376 in the [[First Vistulzkan Civil War]], between the King [[Ziemomysł IV]] and Head of the Noble Sejm, [[Árpád III]]. Political disalignment over the powers of the King and the Sejm caused the civil war. In the aftermath, powerful and influential noble classes appeared, the [[Nemesseg]], the [[Szlachta]] and the [[Lytsari]].


Human activity in Vistulzka dates back to the Lower Paleolithic period, with various sets of artifacts dating back to the Last Glacial age. The area was dominated by various hunter-gatherer cultures. Vistulzka was very diverse during late antiquity, having been inhabited by a large mix of various tribes. The most historically important of these tribes was the [[Venethians]], who collaborated with the [[Wallish Empire]] during the Wallish migration into Western Calesia. The [[Venethian Kingdom]] was established as a {{wpl|petty kingdom}} under the Wallish Empire. The Venethian Kingdom collapsed in 941 during the [[Drazhyn conquest of Western Calesia|Drazhyn migration into Western Calesia]], and the Wallish Empire was forced to abandon the area.


Statehood of Vistulzka first came about after the [[Gregorianization of Lexinia]]


Vistulzka has a {{wpl|developed market}} and is considered to be a {{wpl|regional power}} alongside [[X]]. Officially, Vistulzka is still considered to be an "Orthodox Gregorianic" nation. However, Vistulzka provides both {{wpl|freedom of religion}} and over [[Human Rights in Vistulzka|high standard of human rights]]. Vistulzka is a founding member of the [[United Congress (Teleon)|United Congress]], and the [[X]].

===Antiquity===
===Antiquity===
Vistulzka has been inhabited since the {{wp|Stone Age}} by {{wp|Cro-Magnons|modern}} ''{{wp|homo sapiens}}'' with archaic tools and artifacts being dates as far back as 20,000 years ago. It is believed that while Vistulzka alongside some neighboring countries have been inhabited since the {{wp|Last Glacial Period}}, the climate conditions made the area inhospitable to permanent habitats. Archaic humans are believed to have began permanently settle Vistulzka in the 11,000 years ago with the rise of the {{wp|neolithic}} [[Wełnica proto-culture|Wełnica culture]]. Agricultural prospects in the area were meddling and as such, Vistulzka did not see any form of agriculture until 5,000 years ago. Before that, Vistulzka was dominated by various {{wp|hunter-gatherers|hunter-gatherer}} societies.

===Venethian Kingdom===
Agriculture and more formative tribal identities emerged in around 4,000 years ago where tools suitable for agriculture emerged. Wełnican tribes and settlements were aware of the [[Hernician Empire]], and several settlements were on the [[Minervan Trail]] that crossed through Western Calesia from Central Calesia. Unlike the hostile tribes that inhabited [[Cheruscia]] in modern day [[X]], [[X]]; the Wełnica openly traded with the Hernicians.

===Three States===
In the 9th century, three major powers had emerged within modern-day Vistuzka. The [[Duchy of Sarmat]], the [[Duchy of Géza]] and the [[Duchy of Pereya]]. These duchies were all paganistic in nature, and frequently entered into small wars with each other, known as the [[Three Duchy Wars]]. The three duchies had loosely followed [[Western Calesian paganism]] until the [[breakup of the First X Empire]] in 851. The breakup directly led to refugees entering the three duchies and subsequently introducing {{wpl|Christianity|Gregorianism}}. The Duke of Sarmat, [[Casimir III]] converted to Georgianism in 855, and subsequently engaged in the [[Sarmat War]] in an attempt to unite the Duchies of Géza and Pereya under his banner. The Duchy of Sarmat and the Duchy of Pereya unified under the [[Treaty of Wełnica]] to become the [[Grand Duchy of Vistulzka]]

[[File:Parliament_of_Hungary_November_2017.jpg|230px|thumb|left|The [[Włocławek National Legislative Building]], the seat of the [[Government of Vistulzka|National government]].]]The president is elected via a {{wpl|popular vote}} for a four-year term and is only allowed to be elected to the position twice. The president is responsible for the appointment of his marshal and the [[Head of the Ducal Council|head of the ducal council]] during the election cycle. Once elected, the President is able to appoint members into the [[Ducal Council]]. Appointment of members into the Ducal are entirely by the president and is not subjected to review or approval by the legislative branch. However, the legislative branch is freely able to dismantle the Ducal Council with a [[Council of Confidence]] that is initiated by a {{wpl|censure|censure vote}}. Within Vistulzkan politics, a censure vote requires 2/3rd of a majority within the Sejm. The success of a censure vote has severe political consequences for a presidential government, and the creation of a Council of Confidence severely limits the power of the executive branch in general. Alongside the dismantling of the Ducal Council, the office of the Marshal is vacated and replaced by the [[Speaker of the Sejm]].

Since the end of the Vistulzkan Civil War, three governing political parties make up the dominant {{wpl|political bloc}}, the [[New Republican Coalition]] which originated from the [[New Republican Movement]]. The [[Orthodox Republican Party]] is currently the largest party within the NRC as well as the largest party in the country. The [[Blue Cross Movement]] and the [[Chruściel-Orange Republican Party]] are also members of the New Republican Coalition. Since the [[2016 Vistulzkan national election]] which were won by [[Józef Kamiński]] and the Orthodox Republicans, political analysts have postulated that Vistulzka is in the beginning stages of {{wpl|democratic backsliding}}. Since the [[2020 Vistulzkan national election]] and the re-election of Józef Kamiński, The Chruściel-Orange Republican Party has since rescinded their allegiance to the New Republican Coalition in favor remaining independent due to [[Chruściel-Orange and Kamiński hostilities|hostility between their party and Kamiński]].  


===Administrative divisions===
===Administrative divisions===
The administrative divisions of Vistulzka are outlined by the 1940 constitution, creating the four primary [[Regions of Vistulzka|regions]]: [[Vistla]], [[Hetumoger]], [[Prykordonnya]], and the [[Overseas Vistulzkan Territories]]. Vistla, Hetumoger and Prykordonnya are divded primarily on ethnic boundaries, while the Overseas Vistulzkan Territories are comprised of the islands of [[Utska]] and [[Jastarnia]]. These regions are headed by a Regional Governor. These regions are subsequently broken down into 52 [[Voivodeship (Vistulzka)|Voivodeships]]. Despite their distance to Calesia, Utska and Jastarnia are not considered colonies but instead also considered voivodeships.
Each region is given a seat on the Presidential Cabinet, while Utska and Jastarnia are given their own separate seats.

Vistulzka, officially the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka and often times referred to as the Orthodox Republic, is a sovereign country located in West Calesia. It borders Helimia to the north, C32 & C33 to the west, C29 to the southwest, and Falland to the southeast, and it shares a maritime boundary with Waldrich across the Svalish Sea. Consisting of 54 states called Voivodeships, it is the third-largest country in Calesia, covering over 396,297 km2, and the fourth-most populous with over 41 million inhabitants. Additional, Vistulzka administers two territories under as the Overseas Vistulzkan Territories that are considered part of its constitutional dominion in the Medan Ocean: Utska and Jastarnia.

Human activity in Vistulzka dates back to the Lower Paleolithic period, with various sets of artifacts dating back to the Last Glacial age. The area was dominated by various hunter-gatherer cultures. Vistulzka was very diverse during late antiquity, having been inhabited by a large mix of various tribes. The most historically important of these tribes was the Venethians, who collaborated with the Wallish Empire during the Wallish migration into Western Calesia. The Venethian Kingdom was established as a petty kingdom under the Wallish Empire. The Venethian Kingdom collapsed in 941 during the Drazhyn migration into Western Calesia, and the Wallish Empire was forced to abandon the area.

Statehood of Vistulzka first came about after the Gregorianization of Lexinia

Vistulzka has a developed market and is considered to be a regional power alongside X. Officially, Vistulzka is still considered to be an "Orthodox Gregorianic" nation. However, Vistulzka provides both freedom of religion and over high standard of human rights. Vistulzka is a founding member of the United Congress, and the X.

The Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka is a unitary semi-presidential republic that is governed on the basis of a multi-party democracy wherein the President of Vistulzka is the head of state and shares power with the Marshal of Vistulzka as the head of government. The government is structured as a multi party representative democracy that takes specific ideas from Common Good Government. The current form of government of Vistulzka originated as the Vistulzkan Republic during the Vistulzkan Civil War. The 1940 Constitution of Vistulzka was the codification and stands as the current governing principles and establishing document of the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka.

The official name of Vistulzka is the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka. The current form of government of Vistulzka regards itself as an Orthodox Republic, an evolution of common good government. Orthodox Republicanism emerged as a new left-wing political ideology during the Second Political Odrodzenie and became a dominant ideology during the civil war.

The president is elected via a popular vote for a four-year term and is only allowed to be elected to the position twice. The president is responsible for the appointment of his marshal and the head of the ducal council during the election cycle. Once elected, the President is able to appoint members into the Ducal Council. Appointment of members into the Ducal are entirely by the president and is not subjected to review or approval by the legislative branch. However, the legislative branch is freely able to dismantle the Ducal Council with a Council of Confidence that is initiated by a censure vote. Within Vistulzkan politics, a censure vote requires 2/3rd of a majority within the Sejm. The success of a censure vote has severe political consequences for a presidential government, and the creation of a Council of Confidence severely limits the power of the executive branch in general. Alongside the dismantling of the Ducal Council, the office of the Marshal is vacated and replaced by the Speaker of the Sejm.

The Włocławek National Legislative Building, the seat of the National government.

The National Legislature of Vistulzka is the bicameral legislative of the Vistulzkan branch, comprised of the upper house Sejm and the lower house Sejmek. Both houses are elected through direct democracy at a local level.

Vistulzka has historically been a hotspot for new political organizations and radical political ideologies.

Since the end of the Vistulzkan Civil War, three governing political parties make up the dominant political bloc, the New Republican Coalition which originated from the New Republican Movement. The Orthodox Republican Party is currently the largest party within the NRC as well as the largest party in the country. The Blue Cross Movement and the Chruściel-Orange Republican Party are also members of the New Republican Coalition. Since the 2016 Vistulzkan national election which were won by Józef Kamiński and the Orthodox Republicans, political analysts have postulated that Vistulzka is in the beginning stages of democratic backsliding. Since the 2020 Vistulzkan national election and the re-election of Józef Kamiński, The Chruściel-Orange Republican Party has since rescinded their allegiance to the New Republican Coalition in favor remaining independent due to hostility between their party and Kamiński.

Administrative divisions

The administrative divisions of Vistulzka are outlined by the 1940 constitution, creating the four primary regions: Vistla, Hetumoger, Prykordonnya, and the Overseas Vistulzkan Territories. Vistla, Hetumoger and Prykordonnya are divded primarily on ethnic boundaries, while the Overseas Vistulzkan Territories are comprised of the islands of Utska and Jastarnia. These regions are headed by a Regional Governor. These regions are subsequently broken down into 52 Voivodeships. Despite their distance to Calesia, Utska and Jastarnia are not considered colonies but instead also considered voivodeships.

Each region is given a seat on the Presidential Cabinet, while Utska and Jastarnia are given their own separate seats.

Education within Vistulzka is centralized and operated by the Department of Education and is divided into four sections: kindergarten, primary, secondary, and tertiary higher. Responsibility of educational oversight is placed primarily on the voivodeship government. The organization of educational standards is established by the Committee of Educational Standards, which represents states. Committee members are selected from a voivodeship's Board of Education and elected by the teachers of the voivodeship. Kindergarten attendance is optional and is aimed primarily for children aged two to five. Primary education begins at the age of six and is compulsory.

The overwhelming majority of higher education institutions, which make up the tertiary higher section of Vistulzkan education are public. Students must first pass the Wejście, but are entitled to study without paying any fee. The National University of Vistulzka was founded in 1225 by Ziemomysł III in Wełnica as the first tertiary higher education institution within the country. It has since become the largest and oldest university within Vistulzka, and remains one of the oldest continually operating universities within the country.
