{{ | Satavia was first colonised briefly by various trade companies, most notably by the [[South Asterian Company]], with the first trade post being set up in 1548. Various other settlements and trade posts were set up but then abandoned, with many companies favouring Nuvania due to it's rich natrual resource reserves. The first permanent settlements were established in 1649, all the way until 1719, and the creation of [[Flamian Asteria]]. Growth was stunted; and due to the relative prosperity of neighbouring Nuvania, many left Satavia. In 1747, following the [[Estmerish-Hennish War]], in which Satavia and Nuvania were the sight of several major battles, the colony was ceeded to [[Kingdom of Estmere|Estmere]], who continued Flamian Asteria in the form of [[Estmerish Asteria]]. In 1778, the two colonies were once again split up, with Satavia becoming the [[Estmerish Hope]]. In 1811, Nuvania gained home rule, thus becoming a {{wpl|self-governing colony}}, whilst Satavia would also achieve home rule in 1816. Satavia also gained dominion status at this time, becoming the [[Dominion of Satavia]]. | ||
''''' | Estmerish rule would continue in Satavia until 1936. During this period, Satavia would see massive economic growth, along with the Satavian Population growing enormously and mass immigration. The period is often referred to in Satavia as the "Estmerish Miracle". Following the [[War of the Arucian]] and Nuvania's independence, Satavia remained a dominion of Estmere. Many of the colonists felt more in common with Estmere than the rest of the Asterias, and so politicians at the time didn't feel the need to seak independence from Estmere. During the [[Great Collapse]], Satavia was impacted significantly hard, and continued to struggle well into 1922. The struggling dominion appealed to Estmere for help, and, despite Estmere's own economic struggles, significant aid packages were sent to Satavia. | ||
During the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], Satavia's relatively small Armed Forces stood no chance against the greater powers of Nuvania and Satucin. Following Satavia's invasion, the Satavian Armed Forces made one last stand in [[Port Hope]] during the [[Defence of Port Hope]]. Satavia would remain occupied untill the [[Liberation of Satavia]] towards the end of the Great War, when Estmerish, Satavian and [[Halland|Hallandic]] forces landed to relatively little resistance. | |||
Satavia's Prime Minister, [[Edward Limes]], returned with members of the Exiled Government in February 1935. Limes arrived to find some of Satavia in ruins physically, and much in ruins economically, and in March unveiled the [[Edward Limes|Five Year Rejuvination]], designed as an economic stimulus package that would, in five years, rebuild Satavia. In 1936, Limes was informed by [[William III of Estmere|King William III]] that due to the unfolding situation in Estmere, he planned to abdicate. Upon the abolition of the monarchy in Estmere (which in turn also abolished the monarchy in Satavia and terminated the personal union between the two states), [[Edward Limes]] proclaimed the formation of the [[Union of Satavia]], which would only last for three years before it's abolition. Limes won the 1936 General Election in a landslide victory, and served until 1939, when following the viewed "ineffectiveness" of the Union, and proposals to slash the Armed Forces Budget, lead to the Army, under the control of Field Marshal [[Oscar Harrison]], to occupy the country and proclaim the [[Satavia|Republic of Satavia]]. Limes was exiled, along with a large portion of the previous government. Harrison would only hold the position for a year, before he was asssainated in 1941. | |||
The military was pursuaded to hand power over the [[National Party (Satavia)|National Party]], who acted as little more than a puppet for the military. Soon, however, the military's power wained and the National Party became more independent from the military. The Satavian Dictatorship lead to Satavia becoming somewhat of a pariah state, with embargoes and sanctions levied against the country. Gradually, basic civil rights were slowly removed, and all dissent ruthlessly crushed. | |||
Following the [[1973 Constitutional Ammendments]], which removed the right to a fair trial, one of the last remaining civil liberties held by Satavians, started three years of disturbances in the country, that culminated in the [[1976 Satavian Riots]] that lead to the collapse of the last National Government, lead by [[Dick Bleum]]. Following the 1976 General Election, the left-wing SDP won a landslide result. Angered by what was percieved by right-wing groups as the fall of Satavia to the left, many of these Paramilitaries took up arms against the new government, starting the [[Satavian Crisis]], in which an estimated 7,400 people died, with just over 4,100 of them being innocent civilians. Initially, Satavian forces failed to beat back the paramilitaries, and in January 1978, the government made an appeal for help to the [[Organization of Asterian Nations]], and by march an OAN Peacekeeping force had arrived, largely comprised of Hallandic and Nuvanian Forces. The crisis made headlines internationally when a [[NLM]] Flight from Pietersburg to Port Hope was blown up over the town of [[Lingbury]], resulting in the deaths of 59 people. The Nuvanian Government alleged [[De Volksmilitie]] involvement, but the group never confirmed nor denied wether they planted the bomb on the airliner. The crisis ended in 1983, with a decisive government victory. | |||

Satavia, officially the Republic of Satavia (Hennish: Republiek Satavia), is an Island Nation in Western Asteria Inferior, and shares a Maritime Border with Nuvania. Satavia consists of the Satavian Isles and the Patrick Islands, an autonomus dependency of Satavia. The capital, largest city and biggest financial center is Port Hope, which had previously been known as Hope Town. Satavia is made up of 6 historical provinces, namely Hope Province, Northern Hope, Andersland, Dukeminster, Camburton Province and Ballyleigh and 22 counties.

Satavia is a parliamentary republic, previously having no written constitution until the 1935 February Coup. Satavia's seperation of powers extends to the judiciary, executive and legislature. Satavia's head of state is, legally, the Governor-General, however, in practice the position holds no power whatsoever, and powers usually vested in a head of state are invested in Satavia's head of governemnt, the Prime Minister. Like the majority of Estmere's former colonies, Satavia loosely follows the Northabbey Model.
The Parliament of Satavia, Satavia's bicameral legislature, is made up of the House of Representatives, the directly-elected lower house, and the County Court, made up, in part, by unelected peers (however, succesive Government's have kept a policy of not awarding new peerages) and, the majority, as County Senators, who are elected every 5 years (with the exception of counties in Ballyliegh, where it is 7 years). The County Court is Satavia's upper house, and has the power to review and refuse to pass legislation, where it then gets returned to the House of Representatives to be ammended.
Electoral System
Administrative Divisions
Province
Satavia is divided into six provinces, the Hope Province, Northern Hope, Andersland, Dukeminster, Camburton Province and Ballyleigh, with Camburton Province being the least populous (with 77,392 people in 2008), and the Hope Province being the most populous (with just over 9.5 million people, of which four million live in Port Hope.
Until 2008, there were seven provinces, but the two smallest (the Upper Highlands and the Lower Highlands) were amalgamated into the newly-formed Camburton Province. Provinces are merely symbolic, and described officially as "Historic Provinces". Each province has a Governor-General, directly subordinate to the Governor-General of Satavia. Often these posts are given to former Prime Ministers and politicians, with two former politicians, Johan de Vilock and Charles Hisloep-Freeke currently holding the position of governor of the Hope Province and Andersland respectively.
Satavia's Emergency Services opperate along provincial boundaries, with the Hope Province Fire Service operating in both the Hope Province and Northern Hope, whilst the Andersland Fire Service, Dukeminster Fire Service and the Balleyleigh and Camburton Fire Service all operate along provincial borders.

County
Satavia's second teir subdivision are counties (and, more recently, metropolitan areas), which were established over time during the colonisation of Satavia. Most counties have a Lieutenant Governor, directly subordinate to the Governor of their respective province (with the exception of the Patrick Islands, whose Lieutenant Governor reports to the Governor-General of Satavia), County Camburton has County Sheriff, and a couple have a County Council Executive. The Metropolitan Area of Adamstown has a Mayor, whilst Port Arthur, Port Edward and Port Hope all have a "Commander of the Garrison", with the Commander of the Garrison at Port Hope being ex officio held by the Governor of the Hope Province.
These Lieutenant Governors hold no power and are merely symbolic roles - Counties without a Lieutenant Governor have an elected representative (Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Governor of the respective province, and are not elected). Counties with a Lieutenant Governor also have an elected representative, but the Lieutenant Governor remains the ceremonial head of the county.
Districts
The third and lowest level subdivision is the District. Districts are smaller than counties, and are somewhat comparable to a municipality. Districts are usually run by a town council, or something to a similar effect. There are 289 districts in Satavia, many of which are called 'boroughs', most of which are in cities, however, some are located ruraly - albeit this is rarer.
