Sovascaria, officially the Sovascarian Authority (Sovascarian: Authoritatea Sovascariană), is a country in central Borealis. It is bordered to its north by Hessaria-Vlodomeria. The Authority has a diverse landscape that covers an area of XXXX square kilometers (XXX sq mi); Sovascaria is largely situated in the Scarian Basin, and is bordered by several mountain ranges, including the Hessarian Alps to the north-east and the Tannitan Mountains to the west. Ostensibly a leftist nation based on an ideologically unique revolutionary system, Sovascaria has 58.2 million inhabitants. Minorities include Hessarians, XXX, and Polavians, as well as a growing population of international immigrants, spurred to migrate to Sovascaria due to work-study programs. Its capital and largest city is Arlina, with 1.8 million residents; other major cities are Calinești, Buchavaniei, Coracova, and Breanut.
Originating from a crossroads between different cultural groups, Sovascarian civilization began to flourish in the middle of the Millenium, with the creation of the Kingdom of Sovascaria in 1121 CE; a powerful and staunchly feudalist state ruled by a succession of native dynasties, the Kingdom's power and influence varied widely through its existence, at one point almost collapsing entirely into XXXX. Sovascaria's major contributions to art, philosophy, and science spread throughout Borealis and beyond with the advent of reliable trans-oceanic navigation. Following a series of costly wars, Sovasarian unrest fuelled by philosophers such as Gabriel Lazar culminated in the Sovascarian Revolution, which, based in liberal and anti-monarchical ideals, created one of the first functional revolutionary states in the world and in Borealis. The Sovascarian Revolutionary Republic emerged from the Revolution as a militant and secularist state, often coming into conflict with more conservative forces both domestically and internationally; these included ethnic conflicts with Hessaria-Vlodomeria. After a constitutional crisis in 1956 caused popular trust in the Revolutionary Republic to wane, Sovascaria held a constitutional convention and reformed its government in 1957, a date now celebrated as Sharpening Day. Introducing a strong meritocratic ideology and returning to its Lazarist roots, Sovascaria has since focused on scientific discovery and global cooperation, while staunchly supporting human rights and libertarian movements worldwide. Geopolitical analysts have descrived Sovascaria's recent policies as emblematic of a desire for soft power; this includes the leasing of international ports by the Sovascarian government and an apparent focus on media manipulation and cyber-defense.
Sovascaria is a developed country with an advanced, high-income social market economy. Based on a leftist ideology known as Lazarism, the Sovascarian Authority formally describes itself as a "libertarian technocracy"; social freedoms are plentiful, while political freedoms are typically based on a definition of merit confirmed by community service, education, and performance on civil service exams. As a welfare state with a radical model, Sovascaria was one of the first nations to implement universal health care and tuition-free university education and has been among the first nations to experiment with universal basic income.Sovascaria has an upper-middle-income economy with a dominant service sector followed in size by the industrial and agricultural sectors; though a stagnant economy throughout the late 1980s and 90s, Sovascaria has experienced constant growth since 1998 due to the implementation of the Market Liberation Reform. Sovascaria is also notable for its pioneering advances in space exploration, contributing both to the first spacewalk and first operational long-term space station. Additionally, It is one of the foremost military powers in the world, making up a sixth of global military spending, and is a leading political, cultural, and scientific force, with its Lazarist hybrid system often seen as a third alternative to authoritarian Socialists and older monarchical institutions.
