'''Vistulzka''', officially the '''Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka''', often times called the '''Orthodox Republic''' is a sovereign country located in Central Atalan. Consisting of 54 states called Voivodeships, Vistulzka is considered to be a regional power within Central Atalan and competes with its eastern bordering neighbor [[Hetumoger]] for economic dominance in the region. It is the largest country within Central Atalan, covering over 572,000km<sup>2</sup>. Vistulzka is founding member of the [[Atalan Sovereign Congress]]. Vistulzka also holds two island colonies within [[Ozarkus]] and [[Alleghenus]]: [[Casimir]] and [[Nowa Kosciuszko]].
'''Vistulzka''' ({{wp|Polish language|Vistulzkan}}: ''Wiślańska''), officially the '''Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka''' ({{wp|Polish language|Vistulzkan}}: ''Prawosławna Republika Wiślańska'') and often times called the '''[[Politics of Vistulzka|Orthodox Republic]]''', is a {{wp|sovereign country}} located in [[Western Calesia]]. Consisting of 54 states called [[Voivodeships of Vistulzka|Voivodeships]], it is the [[Calesia|third-largest country]] in Calesia, covering over 396,297 km<sup>2</sup>, and the [[Calesia|fourth-most populous]] with over X million inhabitants. Additionally, Vistulzka holds two island {{wp|overseas territory|overseas territories}} within [[Galania]]: [[Casimir (Vistulzka)|Casimir]] and [[Nowa Kosciuszko]].


Vistulzka has been inhabited since the {{wpl|Last Glacial Age|ice age}} with various sets of artifacts dating back to the Proto-Atalan period of Atalan when the area was dominated by various {{wpl|Hunter-gatherers}} cultures. Vistulzka in the early eighth century was a mix of various tribes that were described as Lechites. By the time of the 800's, the area of Vistulzka had been controlled by three various paganistic duchies: [[Duchy of Wełnica|Wełnica]], [[Duchy of Lechia|Lechia]] and the [[Duchy of Mazowszanie|Mazowszanie]]. Under the banner of the Duchy of Lechia, whose leadership had converted to [[Orthodox Seguacism]] conquered the other two duchies with the assistance of the [[First Kingdom of Hetumoger]] and the [[Duchy of Vossenburg]]. At the time, the Duchy of Lechia was the dominant power in Central Atalan. In 953, Lechia unified with the First Kingdom of Hetumoger, which lied to its eastern border, creating the [[Kingdom of Lechia and Hetumoger|Lechia-Hetumoger Kingdom]]. Lechia-Hetumoger was the largest power in the entirety of all of Atalan during this time. In 1211, Lechia-Hetumoger entered the [[Atalan Heropleven]], a cultural revival that marked a change of internal politics of the Kingdom. This change was primarily liberal where the Kingdom transformed into the [[Noble Republic of Lechia and Hetumoger|Lechia-Hetumoger Noble Republic]], a political system that utilized the idea of a [[Noble Republic]]. In 1479, the political situation in Lechia-Hetumoger had transformed vastly and the two countries no longer held semblance and collapsed. The collapse created two separate noble classes in each country, the [[Nemesseg]] in the [[Second Kingdom of Hetumoger]] and the [[Szlachta]] in the [[Noble Republic of Lechia]].

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 [[Aeneas Empire]], and several settlements were on the [[Minervan Trail]] that crossed through Central Atalan across to East Atalan. Unlike the hostile tribes that inhabited [[Cheruscia]] in modern day [[Vossenburg]], [[Nassau]]; the Wełnica openly traded with the Aeneas.

===Three Duchies & Gregorianism===
In the 9th century, three major powers emerged in modern-day Vistulzka: the [[Duchy of Wełnica]], the [[Duchy of Lechia]] and the [[Duchy of Mazowszanie]]. All three of these duchies were paganistic in nature and tended to enter into small wars with each other in the [[Three Duchy Wars]]. The three duchies followed [[Western Calesian paganism]] until 851 where the [[breakup of the First X Empire]] began. During the breakup, {{wp|Christianity|Gregorianism}} entered the region through refugees fleeing the [[Second Duchy of Vossenburg]] into Wełnica. The Duke of Lechia, [[Ziemomysł I]] converted to Gregorianism and sought to unite the other two paganistic countries under his banner. The Duchy of Lechia and the Duchy of Wełnica unified into the [[Grand Duchy of Lechia]] after a peace treaty was signed between Ziemomysł I and [[Mieszko II of Wełnica]], the Duke of Wełnica, in 922.

Vistulzka (Vistulzkan: Wiślańska), officially the Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka (Vistulzkan: Prawosławna Republika Wiślańska) and often times called the Orthodox Republic, is a sovereign country located in Western Calesia. 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 X million inhabitants. Additionally, Vistulzka holds two island overseas territories within Galania: Casimir and Nowa Kosciuszko.

Vistulzka has been inhabited since the Last Glacial Age with various sets of artifacts dating back to the Lower Paleolithic period when the area was dominated by various hunter-gatherers cultures. Vistulzka in late antiquity was a mix of various tribes that were described as Lechites. By the time of the 800s, the area of Vistulzka had been controlled by three various paganistic duchies: Wełnica, Lechia and the Mazowszanie. Under the banner of the Duchy of Lechia, whose leadership had converted to Presterist Gregorianism, conquered the other two duchies with the assistance of the First Kingdom of Hetumoger and the Duchy of Vossenburg. At the time, the Duchy of Lechia was the dominant power in Western Calesia. In 953, Lechia unified with the First Kingdom of Hetumoger, creating the Lechia-Hetumoger Kingdom. In 1211, Lechia-Hetumoger entered the Atalan Heropleven, a cultural revival that marked a change of internal politics of the kingdom. This change was uniquely liberal where the kingdom transformed into the Lechia-Hetumoger Noble Republic, a political system that utilized the idea of a noble Republic and promulgated Calesia's first constitution. In 1479, the political situation in Lechia-Hetumoger had transformed vastly and the two countries no longer held semblance and collapsed. The collapse created two separate noble classes in each country, the Nemesseg in the Second Kingdom of Hetumoger and the Szlachta in the Noble Republic of Lechia.

TBD

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.

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 Duchies & Gregorianism

In the 9th century, three major powers emerged in modern-day Vistulzka: the Duchy of Wełnica, the Duchy of Lechia and the Duchy of Mazowszanie. All three of these duchies were paganistic in nature and tended to enter into small wars with each other in the Three Duchy Wars. The three duchies followed Western Calesian paganism until 851 where the breakup of the First X Empire began. During the breakup, Gregorianism entered the region through refugees fleeing the Second Duchy of Vossenburg into Wełnica. The Duke of Lechia, Ziemomysł I converted to Gregorianism and sought to unite the other two paganistic countries under his banner. The Duchy of Lechia and the Duchy of Wełnica unified into the Grand Duchy of Lechia after a peace treaty was signed between Ziemomysł I and Mieszko II of Wełnica, the Duke of Wełnica, in 922.

The Duchy of Mazowszanie initially rebuked the idea of conversion. TBD

The Orthodox Republic of Vistulzka is a unitary semi-presidential republic that is governed on the basis of multi-party democracy that utilizes a "Common Government", a form of government that emerged during the Atalan Political Heropleven. Its government is codified by the 1921 constitution which is considered to be the governing principle and establishing document of Vistulzka. Vistulzka's government takes several ideas from Orthodoxist Republicanism, one of the many new political ideas formed during the Political Heropleven. Vistulzka utilizes three branches of government, both "separate but intertwined" government where all branches of the government were intertwined with each other.

The Legislative Building of Włocławek, the seat of the Viswe national government.

Officially, the Office of the President is elected within the Sejm, where the members of the Sjem elect members of their own. The powers of the president are executive in nature and are split between the office and the Sjem. The office of the President is designed by the 1921 constitution to be the simultaneous head of state and head of government, and is reponsible for the the appointment of the Marshal and the Ducal Council, the executive branch's cabinet. The Marshal and the Ducal Council are responsible to answering to daily affairs to the Sjem. The President of Vistulzka is considered to have a more ceremonial role if the Marshal and the Ducal Council are able to function and hold support within the Sjem. However, if the Sjem initiates a censure vote, the powers of the Marshal and the Ducal Council are significantly diminished. Under this, the Sjem can create a Council of Confidence which will vacate the office of the Marshal and place those responsibilities on the Ducal Council.

Vistulzka has historically been a hotbed for political organizations with three parties making up the dominant block since 1925. The New Republican Coalition (NKR) have ruled Vistulzka since the end of the Second Cuthish War, and is comprised of three dominant parties: the Orthodoxist Republican Party (PPR), the Janssian-Orange Republican Party (PRJP) and the Blue Movement Party (PBR). All three of these parties were founded in the immediate aftermath of the Recession of 1924.
