Medovia (Medovian: Medova), officially the Republic of Medovia (Medovian: Medovasi Rëspublika), is a country in Anteria.

History

Antiquity

The Medovian people are said to have come into existence after the migration of several Indo-European tribes to the Medovian Basin, south of the current day capital of Medovia, Gavarnik. The proto-Medovian language, which at the time was much closer to the Basque language, was spoken by a dominant tribe that had setup trading posts near today's Medovian Coast. The assimilation of the tribes that had come to the basin and coast resulted into the Medovian ethnos and nation. Linguistic analysis shows continued Indo-European influence on the Medovian language to bring it from the proto-Medovian which was not classified as Indo-European to an Indo-European status. Throughout antiquity, much of the Medovian people were politically divided despite having a common heritage, language, and territorial area. Wars between clans and regions were common and the disunity of the early part of Medovia's history gave the nation a great disadvantage.

St. George
Patron Saint of Medovia

The adoption of Christianity was an important milestone in Medovian history. The Medovian people were quick to adopt the religion which had reached them through missionaries spreading the word of Christ. The adoption of Christianity greatly united the Medovian people culturally and also helped to decrease the amount of divisions that were present in the Medovian homeland. The Medovian Apostolic Church helped unite Medovians culturally what politically was not possible because of bitter rivalries and regional disagreements. The Medovian Apostolic Church remained quite independent throughout the centuries and despite pressures to unite with Orthodox or Catholic branches, the Apostolic Church remained independent and steadfast to a "wholly independent Church, loyal to traditions of Christ". The Church's theology today would be classified as belonging to the Oriental Orthodox branch of Churches. Oriental Orthodoxy rejects the Chalcedonian Definition, and instead adopts the miaphysite formula, believing that the human and divine natures of Christ are united.

As commerce and technology improve so did societal and political organization of the Medovians. Much of the inhabited lands by Medovians were located in present day Medovia's Southern portion, especially along the coast where commerce thrived. The major port city of Peshkaji became the center of Medovian political and cultural life. Peshkaji is located around 100km south of the capital Gavarnik. Yet much into the Middle Ages, the Medovian nation was focused on commerce and political unification as a whole was still lacking; historians describe this era as the "Confederal Era" as small governing cantons comprised of the Medovian homeland, that governed quite independently from each other and the unity among the cantons was very loose and formal. The Confederal Era, however, came to an abrupt end, when invasions and threats from the North disrupted the Medovian nation.

Politics and Government

Medovia is a parliamentary constitutional republic and sovereign state whose politics operate under a framework laid out in the constitution wherein the president functions as the head of state and the prime minister as the head of government. The sovereignty is vested in the Medovian people and exercised by the Medovian people through their representatives or directly.

The executive power is exercised by the president and prime minister whereby the power of the president is very limited. The Prime Minister is the commander-in-chief of the military and the President is the representative of the unity of the Medovian people. The tenure of the president depends on the confidence of the parliament and is elected for a five-year term by the parliament by a majority of three-fifths of all its members. The prime minister, appointed by the president and approved by the parliament, is authorized to constitute the cabinet. The cabinet is composed primarily of the prime minister inclusively its deputies and ministers.
