'''Arthadesh''' ({{wp|Bhojpuri language|Samundrese}}: अर्थदेश, ''Árthadeśá''), officially the '''Socialist Republic of Arthadesh''' ({{wp|Bhojpuri language|Samundrese}}: अर्थदेश समाजवादी गणराज्य, ''Árthadeśá Samājvādī Gaṇrājya''), is a sovereign state in [[Satria]], bordered by [[Padaratha]] to the west, [[Rajyaghar]] to the east, [[Ajahadya]] to the southeast, and [[Baekjeong]] to the south.

It is the second most populated country in Satria with a population of nearly 110 million. The country is divided into 12 provinces, three autonomous regions including the disputed territory of [[Minkathala]], and the Capital Territory of [[Nadipatnam]]. | ||
The area which makes up Arthadesh has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, with archaeological remains recording the presence of {{wp|sedentary}} {{wp|agriculture}} from around 4,300 BCE and the existence of {{wp|pastoralist}} groups before this time. Located at the delta of the [[Bashurat river]], Arthadesh was a heartland for the development of the {{wp|Indo-European|Sataro-Euclean}} peoples who arrived from the east and subjugated the endemic peoples. The fertile valleys of the Bashurat river helped grow several large states in the antique era, making Arthadesh a centre of religious and philosophical as well as economic exchange. This led to the birth of the [[Ashrama]], philosophical and theological schools which centred upon religious asceticism and pacifism. Under the Ashramic period, which began around 700 BCE and which would continue until the emergence of the [[Sangma dynasty|Sangma]] as a rival power, the region of modern day Arthadesh was the home of several wealthy states. However, at the coming of the common era, the Ashramic princedoms were subjugated by the Sangma dynasty. The region would remain under the Sangma for the majority of the dynasty's history, before the [[Nadipatnam Thakurate]] broke away and fought several wars with the central state. As Sangma power receded, more Arthani Thakurates would break away, eventually forming a confederacy of princely states called the [[Arthani Confederacy]]. The confederacy was partially conquered by the Togoti Khaganate; its eastern region was directly annexed and its southern region was vassalized. Following the collapse of the Togoti Khaganate, a major general named Akdoğan, established his own fiefdom which became the [[Rajadom of Akdoğan]]. The Rajadom faced strong competition from the Rajadom of Ajahadya. Desiring support, the Rajadom turned to [[Euclea]] and especially [[Etruria]] and [[Narozalica]]. While this was at first manifested by increased trade and military advisors, the Euclean powers began to extract concessions. [[Kassar]], modern day [[Nagapur]], was granted to Narozalica following a limited armed campaign, and in 1863 the Sardar was forced by Etruria to cede his state to Etrurian rule. | The area which makes up Arthadesh has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, with archaeological remains recording the presence of {{wp|sedentary}} {{wp|agriculture}} from around 4,300 BCE and the existence of {{wp|pastoralist}} groups before this time.

Arthadesh (Samundrese: अर्थदेश, Árthadeśá), officially the Socialist Republic of Arthadesh (Samundrese: अर्थदेश समाजवादी गणराज्य, Árthadeśá Samājvādī Gaṇrājya), is a sovereign state in Satria, bordered by Padaratha to the west, Rajyaghar to the east, Ajahadya to the southeast, and Baekjeong to the south. It is the second most populated country in Satria with a population of nearly 110 million. The country is divided into 12 provinces, three autonomous regions including the disputed territory of Minkathala, and the Capital Territory of Nadipatnam.
The area which makes up Arthadesh has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, with archaeological remains recording the presence of sedentary agriculture from around 4,300 BCE and the existence of pastoralist groups before this time. Located at the delta of the Bashurat river, Arthadesh was a heartland for the development of the Sataro-Euclean peoples who arrived from the east and subjugated the endemic peoples. The fertile valleys of the Bashurat river helped grow several large states in the antique era, making Arthadesh a centre of religious and philosophical as well as economic exchange. This led to the birth of the Ashrama, philosophical and theological schools which centred upon religious asceticism and pacifism. Under the Ashramic period, which began around 700 BCE and which would continue until the emergence of the Sangma as a rival power, the region of modern day Arthadesh was the home of several wealthy states. However, at the coming of the common era, the Ashramic princedoms were subjugated by the Sangma dynasty. The region would remain under the Sangma for the majority of the dynasty's history, before the Nadipatnam Thakurate broke away and fought several wars with the central state. As Sangma power receded, more Arthani Thakurates would break away, eventually forming a confederacy of princely states called the Arthani Confederacy. The confederacy was partially conquered by the Togoti Khaganate; its eastern region was directly annexed and its southern region was vassalized. Following the collapse of the Togoti Khaganate, a major general named Akdoğan, established his own fiefdom which became the Rajadom of Akdoğan. The Rajadom faced strong competition from the Rajadom of Ajahadya. Desiring support, the Rajadom turned to Euclea and especially Etruria and Narozalica. While this was at first manifested by increased trade and military advisors, the Euclean powers began to extract concessions. Kassar, modern day Nagapur, was granted to Narozalica following a limited armed campaign, and in 1863 the Sardar was forced by Etruria to cede his state to Etrurian rule.
During the Great War, Arthadesh supplied troops to Etruria but was also a centre of activity for anti-Euclean resistance. After almost a century of Etrurian colonization and repression, anti-colonialist movements were largely destroyed, but the remaining nationalists and anti-colonialists were ardent socialists with the aim of establishing a socialist state. Independence would come during the Solarian War, led by the National Liberation Army, a branch of the Green Pardals. Following independence it established itself as a Pardal Republic known as the Satrian Commandery, ruled by the NLA's political wing the Satrian Section of the Worker's International. In the following decades after independence, Arthadesh participated in multiple conflicts in Satria. As a result of near constant warfare for several decades, the NLA became a fundamental part of Arthadesh. Following the establishment of the Socialist Republic in 1957, the NLA was reorganized into the Army of the Socialist Revolution and continued to have a significant role in Arthani society to this day.
Arthadesh is classified as a flawed democracy and as a Southern democracy due to the influence of the Satrian Section of the Worker's International. Ethnic and religious divides are also present, due to the diverse nature of the state which unites many different groups and religions. Arthadesh is a developing nation, reliant on agricultural production, manufacturing, commercial fishing, and tourism for the nation’s economy. The country is considered a middle power in Kylaris due its population and geographic location. Due to its status as a socialist country it is a full member of the Association for International Socialism. It is also an observer member of the BCO and a full member of COMDEV, the Community of Nations, and the International Trade Organization.
Etymology
On its own, the Parbhan word अर्थ (ártha) is defined as "meaning", "aim", and "purpose", but when placed into various compound words its definition can vary considerably. The Parbhan word देश (deśá) refers to "nation" or "country". When the suffix देश (deśá) is added, ártha means "wealth" and "prosperity" so the compound word árthadeśá literally means "country of wealth" or "country of prosperity".

Government and politics
Arthadesh's uncofidied constitution, the People's Laws of Arthadesh, declares that the country is founded on the principles of socialism, with the goal of achieving a socialist economy. It is the only socialist state in Satria, which forms the foundation of its political climate. The Laws officially establishes the country as a federal democratic republic which is governed by a parliamentary system. However in practice the Satrian Section of the Worker's International (SSWI) has integrated itself into the structure of the federal government and operates its party institutions in parallel with the civil government. Although various opposition parties and coalitions exist, the SSWI maintains a hegemonic control over the country. The party uses a combination of mass mobilization, co-option and (at many times, violent) repression to hold power, and resorts to electoral fraud when these measures are not enough.
Government
The People's Laws defines the Premier as the highest de jure state authority. The Premier is a member of parliament supported by a parliamentary majority who serves as head of government for a four year term, renewable once. The Premier is responsible for the exercise of executive powers in implementing the decrees and general policies approved by the Assembly. The Premier is assisted by a council of ministers, known as the Executive Council, who are appointed by the Premier and approved by the Assembly. Together the Premier and the Executive Council coordinates government decisions, and selects government policies to be placed before the legislature.
The legislature of Arthadesh, known as the Assembly of Arthadesh, is a unicameral body consisting of around 600 members elected by Party-list proportional representation in multi-seat constituencies. Parliamentary elections are scheduled every four years, but unstable coalitions or a no-confidence vote by the Assembly can dissolve a government earlier. The Assembly wields legislative supremacy, granting it extensive legislative powers. The Assembly also has the authority to modify the constitution through a two-thirds majority vote, although it needs approval by a majority of the Supreme Court.
Satrian Section of the Worker's International
The People's Laws of Arthadesh declares that the Satrian Section of the Worker's International (SSWI) "plays a leading role in the development of a socialist state" which constitutionalises its prominent status in Arthani politics. Since the foundation of the republic, the party institutions of the SSWI operate in parallel and in conjunction with normal government institutions. The party is controlled by its general party membership, who oversees to higher bodies and elects them. The degree of control the party is able to exercise over the state bureaucracy varies considerably, with the bureaucracy pursuing different interests that are at times in conflict with the party. In addition, the party is not monolithic and factions and rivalries are common.
The highest office within the party and de facto head of state of Arthadesh is the First Secretary of the Satrian Section of the Workers International. In addition to performing duties as head of state, the Secretary is commander in chief of the Army of the Socialist Revolution, and performs numerous key administrative functions of the party by controlling its national organisation. The First Secretary and other high level party officials are elected by the National Party Congress, which is held annually. The National Congress servers as an official platform for debate within the party as it determines and approves party policy. The last major party institution is the People's Congress which is an assembly of representatives of various organizations affiliated with the SSWI such as labour unions, youth organizations, cultural organizations, charities, and other groups. Its main purpose is to coordinate the policies of the national government with its member organisations. In addition it has de facto legislative powers, as many of its members are also in the Assembly, who can submit legislation on the Congress's behalf. While the Congress began as a party institution, it has been increasingly functioned as part of the federal government, especially since membership of the Congress was opened to groups not directly affiliated with the SSWI.
