Republic of Morrawia, commonly called Morrawia, natively called Morawa and historically called Lands of the Morrawian Crown is a Federal Constitutional Presidential Republic in southern Anteria located entirely on the continent of Thrismari. It is bordered in the south by Wassilia, in the north by Barceria and the western border shares with Noakirel. Morrawia has an estimated population of 87 million people. Morrawia comprises of 24 provinces, 3 city-provinces and one federal district. It is the country with advanced, high-income social market economy with a focus on services, manufacturing, research, and fishing. The largest city is Králowec, which is also its capital. Other notable cities include Berno, Ášen, Kalmary or Veligrad.
The area of todays Morrawia was inhabited for several thousand years by the native tribes such as Aiva, Mrew and even tribes from overseas like Paitanue. Between 10,000 and 3,000 BCE, Germanic tribes were pushed from their former territory in Kakland by Verno-Kak people, establishing German presence on the territory of Morrawia to this day. These Germanic tribes pushed many of the existing tribes away from their land or assimilated them to their tribes and societies. Though this was started with Germanic tribes, this process continued thoughout the history of the country. In about 750 AD, The Empire of Bohemia was formed as a sophisticated coalition of local noblemen with the emperor on the top for the first time. After that, another state: The Kingdom of Morrawia founded by the Pṙemysl I. in the year 907. 93 year later, the state dissolved due to both internal and external pressures, beggining the Age of Chaos period and the Morrawian Civil War.
After almost 200 years, Morrawia was again established as Grand Duchy of Morrawia and later was given a status of kingdom. In 1574, nobility took power, due to House of Pṙemysl dying out. This was the 27-year long period called Age of Nobility, which is historically called Second Kingdom of Morrawia. This monarchy was without a king and was replaced in 1601 with the Third Kingdom of Morrawia and then with Empire of Morrawia, which was the political entity existing until 1856 connected with colonialism, genocide and other atrocities. The Republic of Morrawia was proclaimed on the 28th October 1852 and fully established in 1856 after the end of the Great Morrawian Revolution. It took part in the Great War as a major supplier and was almost a victim to a military coup d´etat in 1964. It since then became a sizeable power in Thrismari with close ties with Hylia, its former territory and many other countries around the world.
It is the member of World Assembly, International Court, Kamoba Group and Vedoti Pact.
Etymology
The country's native name origin (Morawa) is not exactly known. One possible exaplanation is that is comes from one of the native tribes, which lived there several thousand years ago, who then met with arriving Germanic and Slavic tribes and saying the word Mo´raw (and its iterations) meaning Welcome in the general native dialect. The other possible origin can be from already mentioned Slavic and Germanic tribes, which in the early years of settlement called the country Marwa, meaning Mother. The Common name Morrawia was formed in the 1600s from the already mentioned name Morrawa and the suffix -ia, denoting a people or nation. Country is comprised of 24 provinces and 3 cities, all with their own names based on rivers, landscape or people, who have been living in the area. Each province or city have their own etymologic historiy behind their name. For more you can check Morrawian subdivisions.
History
Early history
Morrawia was founded by Pṙemysl I., founder of the House of Pṙemysl, which is one of the longest-ruling dynasties in Morrawia´s history. He famously came to the Morrawian region with about 1000 other people, who lived nomadic life up to that point and famously that "this land will once be a great nation of character and wisdom". The people at that time were mostly farmers and lived in small villages, one of them was soon to be Capital: Králowec, which grew at a rapid rate from its founding in 912. The land then was mostly forests, some marshlands, and mountains on the north and the west. This was the time of rapid expansion of Morrawia and all in all, it was a really unstable period for a young nation. The growth and relative prosperity itself continued for 70 years when during the reign of Jaromír I., the nation was starting to crumble, mostly thanks to the inability of Jaromír to rule himself. The territories of the nation were sold to the adversaries, people started to riot, and not even the next king, Mojmír II. wasn´t able to rescue a dying nation and on the 7th of March, the nation dissolved and an Age of Chaos began, continuing well until the year 1095, where major fighting stopped, but the region was divided amongst many little kingdoms, duchies and earldoms.
Age of Chaos and Age of Reconstruction
Eventually, the nation was put back together by Wáclaw I. of House of Carithia as a Grand Duchy of Morrawia. Even though the rule of Carithians of Morrawia wasn´t the longest (only 3 Dukes), the greatly stabilized the nation, improved the lives of citizens, even expanded territory. But as was Boleslaw II. (last Carithian Duke) dying, he whispered the prophesy, that the House of Pṙemysl must return to throne and reign over the land, otherwise, there will be no Morrawia. His subjects listened, searching for a descendant of Pṙemysls and they found him, living as a lumberman in the woods of Ṡúmawa region. They asked him to be their king, he accepted and he restarted the reign of the House of Pṙemysl in Morrawia for approximately the next 500 years. He himself was named Pṙemysl the Great and starting with him, Morrawia was now finally a Kingdom, title, it lost with the transformation to Empire.
Middle Ages
Things were looking great, the formation of large cities began at this time, although, majority of the population were still living in villages. But changes were made elsewhere too like economy or agriculture. Nation shrank and again expanded numerous times over this period. That during the reign of Boṙiwoj III. and Wladislaw I. In this time period, two of the biggest Knight Orders were founded: King´s Order of the Golden Lion and Order of Tatras. These to orders were initially enemies, but throughout the years forged an alliance in the name of the monarch of Morrawia. They were also allied to Knights of the Isle of Soe and the City of Banter from Kakland. The next king, Pṙemysl VI. allowed women to become rulers. This was revolutionary. There was Ludmila I., favorite among the people, and lastly Aneż I., who was sadly, the last monarch wearing the symbols, and ruling the Morrawia as Pṙemysl. She, even more, expanded Morrawia, prolonging the border along the Kaldaz Ocean, but was sadly assassinated by Duke of Berburg, one of the rulers of the northern subdivision of Morrawia at the time making the House of Pṙemysl extinct and declaring himself as a ruler. He was nicknamed Albert The Killer for his cruelty. This was a dark period for Morrawia, as people were dying in the hands of Albert, it lost a significant amount of territory and his son Ferdinand handed power to Nobility and subsequently killing himself in Grand Royal Palace of Králowec. This was the start of a short new era: The Age of Nobility.
Age of Nobility
Age of Nobility was a 27-year long period, where The Monarchy was reorganized into a sort of elected aristocracy still caled Kingdom of Morrawia (without a king). Nothing for the old system changed, though nation was now ran by council of nobles, which decided everything that was to happen in the nation. Unfortunately, this wasn´t the best system. Council was called off many times due to disagreements between various noblemen, different regions of the country often didn´t listen to order from the council and the kingdom was struggling with constant shortages of various products, mainly food. In 1601, the kingdom became so unstable and so disfunctional that it literally collapsed over night. Noblemen, who were supposed to keep the country together, military and other forces slowly stopped doing their job. People were unsatisfied with system and began rioting and looting. As everyone saw the inevitable, few groups took the matter into their own hands but only one walked out victorious. Noble family from the Fallaine called Neutteburg in the matter of 2 months made friends on high places, some of which were their friends for a long time and promised stability to the people all over Morrawia and it worked. Neutteburg negotiated with the council and other noble houses and became the ruling dynasty of Morrawia. Few other nobles ruled their own areas, but it wouldn´t take long and Neutteburg consolidated all the power and Morrawia became absolute monarchy with Rudolf I. as the ruler.
Empire of Morrawia
Things were back where they were before the the nobility rule. There was one ruling house with absolute power and lower nobles, who administred the lands given to them by the monarch. Rudolf I. was truly the king who delivered on his promises. He stabilized the nation, got rid of dangerous elements (and some of the opposition) and established firm rule of one house. All relics of old system were destroyed and new age began. After his long rule, which ended in 1640, 3 kings took the thrown between the years 1640 and 1645. In the second year, Augustus I. finished the process of international involment of Morrawia started many years earlier. He renamed Kingdom of Morrawia to Empire of Morrawia, created Imperial Assembly, who directly answered to him and established agressive foreign policy of exploration, exploitation and for the first time in nations history, slavery. This massively boosted Morrawia´s economy and living standards and people were actually starting to live better. Slave trade continued until the end of a regime. This agressive policy consisted of rapid expansion of new territory on other continents, such as islands and such and taking resources of that area, while taking advantage of the people. This started in 1645, when Morrawia declared war on Wassilia in order to take control of the imporant regions in the nation. Kakland was the next enemy for the empire as there was a need for a strategic point in Alabaster Gulf. This point are Gotos Islands (Gótské ostrowy) located right in the middle of the Gulf. 5 year later, Barceria saw itself like a victim, when Morrawia tried to take over their territory. But Barceria fought relentlessly and they only lost small amount of land in the south. However, this was about to change 10 year later when Morrawia attacked Barceria for the second time and completely annexed its territory expect for the small bit of land in the west. Kakland was again in the spotlight as they tried to defend itself from the ground attack on the mainland. They howerever lost and the territory of Khaygland (Kalhánsko) was annexed with the small part turned into a vassal. Throughout the years, every emperor of Morrawia set the goal to conquer Flatstone, an island kingdom in the middle of Sunadic Ocean. Yet this was never achieved apart from the northern most territory taken over in 1722. Couple of years earlier in 1704, Morrawia won the war against Kaldaic Empire, which resulted in them being overlords over Oomoshi Islands, a southern archipelago. A slave colony was established on the archipelago called Nowé Zámoṙí (today Tawuii), where all slaves, who were not yet divided into working groups were taken to. However, this was slowyl the beginning of the end. After these victories, Morrawia started to stagnate and in 1756, they lost Gotos Islands, thus losing the singificant advantage in the region. In 1762 and 1774, two revolts and counter attacks from Wassilia took place. Revolts were common place in the conquered territories but up until this point, they were rather unsuccessful. But these were bigger than any revolt before and Wassilia won previously vassal territories back alongside its capital Tyonek. Few years pass and in 1796, Second Morrawo-Wasssilian War began ending 6 years later. And this was a mark of clear decline as Wassilia completely defeated the Morrawian forces, eventhough, their own forces were losing in the start. Winning most of their territory back, Wassilia was one step from total sovereignty. Despite all of this, country was still economically and militarly stronger than many other in the region. People where richer and richer, the society was developing. This was also due to amount of wars significantly decreasing and there were actually many years of unbroken peace. But when the 1820s rolled around, this was about to change. Stagnation, decline, inflation along with no real technological and military progress made once great and feared empire weak and backwards. This all escalated into what we call now Great Morrawian Revolution. Otto VI., who ironically was trying to reform the country, although with great resistance from nobles and his own family was met with even bigger challenge, than any of his predecesors: Morrawian Legions. Squads of armed militia man answering to one man Tristan Palacký, prominent spokesman and lawyer from Slowannia. He was firstly very reluctant to lead to rebellion eventhough he himself didn´t like the situation in the country, but reportedly, after big pressure from his coworkers and friends and mainly his mother Anna, he agreed. As he wrote in one of his 29 books, he dreamed of free future for everyone and for the government by the people. He gathered lot of people on his side all across the country to form organized militias. These militias, consisting mainly of farmers, but for example also some of the soldiers from Imperial Army declared Republic of Morrawia on 28th of October 1852, which is to this day celebrated as Republic's Day, from a captured Grand Royal Palace of Králowec balcony infront of thousands of people. These people and all around the country were encouraged to fight against the emperor and his family and everyone, who stands by them. This started the Great Morrawian Revolution, with lasted until 1856 and ended by the complete colapse of imperial regime, arrest of Neutteburg family and proper sentencing of Emperor Otto VI. After the war, new Morrawia rose, one which was bound by law, not royalty as said by its first president Tristan Palacký. During the revolution, Morrawia got its current borders due to Wassilia taking back its border they lost some 200 years prior.
Development in 19th and 20th century
There was a complete shift after the war. The new democratic system was put in place. The policy of isolationism was preffered over involvement in conflicts and Tristan Palacký was offered the presidential seat, which he accepted . He was given a blank canvas on what powers should president hold. He then set an example for all future presidents by serving two fixed terms of 4 years. So called Republican Assembly was formed in 1856, which was renamed Federal Congress a month later, which was the legislative body of the nation. Electoral college was established in the beginning and than abolished in 1901 and was exchanged with proportional voting system. Federal Congress from the start had two chambers: Senate of the Republic and House of Representatives. Senate was there to ensure that democracy stayed in the nation even if the House fell or was dominated by one party. Throughout the 19th century, more and more people were given right to vote. In 1903, voting for women was passed and this was a gamechanger. In 20th century, Morrawia experienced its second golden age after The Great War, where Morrawia was supplying democratic states with weapons, military equipment and food against the imperial ones. Thanks to fight never being on its territory and stability after the war, Morrawian economy exploded. During the Era of Civil Wars, Morrawia has seen itself elevated to the status of big power. In 1948, it was one of the original signatories of Argdan Treaty, which guaranteed basic human rights. Country has seen one unsuccessfull coup attempt in 1964, which was quickly put down right in the beginning, but saw the death of President Walmark in the hands of one of the people responsible for a coup. For the rest of the century, country grew in population and economy and today is considered progressive socially and economically. Although these trends of social and economic progress continue, country still experiences frequent shifts in the political sphere, where the right-wing government rules for couple of years and then is replaced by the left-wing government for some years. It is only certain policies, which no party can mess with, because they are very popular with the people.
Great War
Decades before the deadliest conflict in human history, Morrawia grew. Grew in terms of economy and population. Country has the same territory since 1856 when the Great Morrawian Revolution ended. Following this, country has aligned itself with the rising number of democratic nations not only in Thrismari, but in the whole world. For the first 35 years, this was only political alignment, due to the country´s isolationist policies with few minor exceptions. As the new century passed, Morrawia was already an internationally recognized country with many ties. When the war started, there was a divide in the Congress, whether or not to support The Alliance. In August 1907, Congress passed the first package of mainly food and equipment to be send to the most war-torn nations. Not long after that, war escalated so much, that the President Morawċík ordered full support for the The Alliance, with food, equipment, medicine and more. By the Decree of the President of The Republic, he even authorized Morrawian citizens, who wanted to go fight on the side of the Alliance. In 1911, ther war ended Morrawia was economically much better off than other nations. Thus it had a massive jumpstart unlike many nations and it was even giving loans to many countries thus becoming a sizable power in the region.
International involvement & rapid growth
After the Great War, Morrawia became more and more involved in international politics, mainly as a opponent of authoritarian regimes. In 1924, Foreign Intelligence Agency was formed to gather intelligence from all over the world in order to protect Morrawian interests. The country got involved in many conflict over the years, and it was very active on the international stage. Social changes began mainly in the 1950s with many progressive presidents starting to get into office. This for example meant that Tawuii became a full province in 1958. Many policies of segregation and racism were starting to go away, but only very slowly. In the 1950s, construction of highways began across the country, which changed the country forever. In the 1980s, changes in immigration policy meant, that great amount of people entered the country. In 1985, Morrawia closely watched the conflict between Salamat and Khirmania as it was rooting for Khirmania and fall of Salamat regime. That same year, almost 5.1 million people immigrated to Morrawia, a historic peak. Morrawia started to get less active starting with the year 2000 and again gained traction around the year 2003 and stays very active until today.
Attempted Coup of 1964
From the late 30s to the early 80s, whole world experienced, what is called Era of Civil Wars. From the start, Morrawia largely avoided the instability, by having a really good economy and high living standards. Inspired by many ideological streams from abroad, many groups in the society were starting to turn to more extreme ideologies. This culminated in the attempted Coup d'etat of 1964, when armed man, mostly from the ranks of military and armed militias tried to take over Congress and kill President Walmark and subsequently take over the country. This effort largely failed as there was a heavy resistance in the form of Congress Guard Department, which, although with heavy casulties, managed to hold the attackers until the National Guard came in to help and eliminate them. Sadly, President Walmark was killed, when his motorcade was driving to safety and it was attacked. This marked the first and only time, the head of state was assasinated, while in office. Furthermore, action was not limited to only a capital. In 17 other provinces, some kind if attack happened, all towards important governmental buildings or military bases. These were also repeled by a combination of National Guard, military and local law enforcement. After everything had cooled down, all people, who helped to organize the attempted coup and were not killed in action were sentenced to life in prison. Coincidentaly, death of President Walmark prompted a debate whether expand death sentences for the bigger variety of crimes. Congress passed many legislations afterwards, which modified existing laws on conspiracy, murder of government officials and more. There was a spike in the following years in the number of police officers and soldiers and the country was, until late 1970s in the state of paranoia. 1980s saw a great relaxing of tensions within the nation. This attitude continued and was a set up for the next decade.
The 1990s
Between 1990 and 1999, Morrawia´s economy grew the most in its history. There were dramatic social changes. Liberal and progressive changes made its way into the lives of many and many problems liek inequality, poverty and crime dropped to historic minimums. Workers were protected, there was a first development in the issue of LGBTQ+ and generally, there was an optimistic attitued amongst people. In 1997, the country became a founding member of the International Court.
Modern times
In the early 2000s, Morrawia wasn´t in the great economic situation, due to variety of factors, one of the biggest being a Králowec Stock Exchange Crash of 2000. But due to careful planning and effective policies, Morrawia quickly overcame this struggle around the year 2005 thanks to work of President Zbigniew Sokół and his administration, which expanded social safety nets, while also lowering taxes on the poor. Great benefits for small and medium businesses were introduced with big corporations having their taxes increased. Massive technological development happened around this, though independently of President Sokół. Country continued to move forward both economicaly and socialy. Todays situation can be largely contributed to the President Sokół, who laid grounds of modern, advanced and developed Morrawia.
Geography
The Morrawia lies mostly between latitudes 48° and 51° N and longitudes 12° and 19° E.
In Morrawia, there are main two river basins: Wor River Basin and Morawa River Basin. Both rivers originate in Olšawské Mountains in the north of the country. It's one of two mountain ranges in otherwise slightly hilly and also, moving closer to the coast, very plain country. The other mountain range is in the west and is called Great Tatras Mountains. The highest point in the country is Mount Owčín - 2501 m.
Wor River flows to the west to the Torgea Strait. Morawa River on the other hand flows to the southeast, straight through Králowec and into the Bay of Morawa. Apart from these there, and not limited to, are also 4 other rivers: Lew River, Nutra River, Hron River and Wágh River.
There are 7 national parks mostly in the west. These are: Olṡawské Mountains National Park, Modrá Woda Canyon, Ṡúmawa National Park, Great Tatras National Park, Beskidian Plateau, Sunadic Marshlands Terittory and Pṙemysl National Park + 17 other smaller nature reserves. There are also some nature reserves in Tawuii.
Climate
Morrawia has temperate climate, with oceanic climate in the east and more contintal in the west. This causes the Western and Central part of the nation to have bigger difference between temperatures during summer and temperatures during winter. So whereas East gets milder (but still hot) summers and mild winters, Central and Western part of Morrawia gets very hot summers and snowy, windy and cold winters.
The coldest month is usually January, followed by February and December. During these months, there is snow in the mountains and sometimes in the cities and lowlands. During March, April, and May, the temperature usually increases, especially during April, when the temperature and weather tends to vary during the day. Spring is also characterized by higher water levels in the rivers, due to melting snow with occasional flooding.
The warmest month of the year is July, followed by August and June. On average, summer temperatures are about 20–30 °C higher than during winter. Summer is also characterized by rain and storms. Autumn generally begins in September, which is still warm and dry. During October, temperatures usually fall below 15 °C or 10 °C and deciduous trees begin to shed their leaves. By the end of November, temperatures usually range around the freezing point.
Throughout the year, the coldest temperatures are recorded in Tawuii.
Demographics
With an estimated January 2023 population of 88,052,791 people, Morrawia is considered one of the more populous countries in the world and Thrismari.
Morrawia is an outlier among developed countries, particularly in Thrismari (more specifically the southern part of the continent), for its relatively high rate of natural population growth. Between 2007 and 2017, Morrawia saw one of the highest overall increase in population in the region of southern Thrismari and was one countries where natural births accounted for the most population growth. This was the highest rate since the end of the baby boom in 1975 and helped the country greatly after almost a decade of stagnation and even decline in the early 2000s.
As of January 2021, the fertility rate declined slightly to 1.74 children per woman, below the replacement rate of 2.1, and considerably below the high of 4.41 in 1800. Morrawia's fertility rate and crude birth rate nonetheless remain among the higher ones amongst developed nations. However, like many developed nations, the Morrawian population is aging; the average age is 42.7 years, while about a sixth of Morrawian people are 65 or over. The average life expectancy at birth is 81.6 years.
From 2006 to 2011, population growth averaged 1.2 percent per year; since 2011, annual growth has been between 0.9 to 1.01 percent annually. Immigrants are major contributors to this trend; in 2010, 21 percent of newborns in Morrawia had at least one foreign-born parent.
Ethnic composition of Morrawia (2018)
Language
Morrawia has many languages and many of them are even official. First one is Morrawian. Morrawian language is a Slavic language, written in Latin script. Spoken by over 90 million people, it serves as the main and official language of the Morrawia and all of its provinces. Other languages spoken in individual provinces are German, Polish + many of native languages of Natives (broad term for every native tribe or community).
Many of these languages are very similar to Morrawian, Bohemian being closest to it, though its considered a dialect. They are written little bit differently, spoken word can be understood by any other language speaker, with exception of Native languages and German, which is a Germanic language instead of Slavic one. Morrawian is a fusional language with a rich system of morphology and relatively flexible word order.
These languages are tought in schools accordingly with Morrawian as a first mandatory language and then languages spoken in provinces. These second, optional, languages can be added to school curriculum by local Congresses. More on that, other languages spoken in a country can be ofcourse tought in schools, though only through school courses (except the Common language, which is mandatory). German and Iugopolish are these languages, spoken in Elbennia (and few other provinces) and Iugopolinia respectively. Other provinces speak a dialect of one of these languages.
Here we will analyze Morrawian:
It has 39 letters. The full list of letters is: Aa Áá Bb Cc Ċċ Dd Ee Éé Ėė Ff Gg Hh Ii Íí Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Ṅṅ Oo Óó Pp Qq Rr Ṙṙ Ss Ṡṡ Tt Ṫṫ Uu Úú Vv Ww Xx Yy Ýý Zz Żż. The stress is always on the first syllable. Words can be relatively flexibly move around the sentence and still make sense. Foreign words are written exactly like they are in that particular language with possible acception of pronouns, though its not always the case. There are also sounds, the standard alphabet doesn´t have a letter for. The whole language dates back to the 7th century.
Religion
Religion has been historically a religious nation, though Morrawia is constitutionaly secular country. The dominant religion is Christianity, both Protestantism and Christianity and given, that there are many native tribes still living in Morrawia, they have their own religions too, completely supported by the government with exception of bloody rituals and similar gruesome events. There is also growing irreligious community since the 20th century.
While absolute majority of the country is either Protestant, almost all of german provinces are of Catholic faith. This is due to various factors, with one of the most important being, that these provinces are not Slavic, they have Germanic culture, quite different from the rest. Catholicism appeared in the area of today's german provinces like Elbennia or Fallaine in the 1st Century AD. Protestantism evolved in the rest of the country in the 1500s as Slavic population didn't really got along with catholics through the centuries. So they accepted Protestantism as they´re main religion, as it was more liberal and gave slavic population a chance to differentiate.
Ethnicity
Historically, Morrawian people were mainly of Slavic-Germanic origin, with a significant admixture of native groups reflecting centuries of respective migration and settlement. Through the course of the Middle Ages, Morrawia incorporated various neighbouring ethnic and linguistic groups, thus becoming more diverse in its ethnic composition, culture and even language, since many of these groups took Morrawian language and slightly altered it, creating many local dialects.
Large-scale immigration over the last century and a half have led to a more multicultural society; beginning with the Great Morrawian Revolution, Morrawia became a hotspot for former colonial citizens, escapees of monarchies and many other groups of individuals from all around the world, mainly Thrismari and Olivacia.
With the second half of the 20th century, Morrawia saw main influx from Kakland, Wassilia, countries in Olivacia, Hylia and southern Thuadia. Native population is on the rise from aproximately 1950s, where many changes in the legal code protected these cultures a gave them ground to expand. Nowadays, around 5% of the total population identifies as Native, majority of them living in Tawuii.
Health
Public Healthcare in Morrawia is one of the best in Anteria. Rating TOP 100 in the region, standard of healthcare is generally high. The affordability and standard of medical treatment has even seen the country emerge as a popular destination for medical tourism on Anteria.
It is compulsory to have health insurance in Morrawia, whether trhough a public or private health insurance provider. Citizens, residents and anyone working for a Morrawian employer are automatically insured under the country´s public healthcare system and pay monthly contributions. Many doctors are in public hospitals though many are in private ones and the healthcare there is just as excellent. Morrawia provides free medical care to all citizens, permanent residents and foreigners working for a local company through compulsory contributions to an approved Morrawian health insurance company. Employers, it is mandatory to pay a portion of the monthly fee with the employee contributing the remainder of the fee. Pharmacies are widely available all across Morrawia, with some opened 24/7. Some of them are even attached to hospitals. Emergency services in Morrawia are generally good, as are ambulance response times. In the case of an emergency, dial 199.
Education
Education in Morrawia includes 4 levels of education: Pre-School, Elementary, Secondary and Higher. For students ages two to five, there are preschools called Community Schools that are generally not state-funded until the years before elementary school. There is also a number of private schools is present across the country. Elementary school is mandatory for children from ages six to sixteen. After that, some students leave formal education altogether, while other students attend other types of school. Enrollment in public schools is fairly high, though these figures do not document active student engagement.
Morrawia's education system is governed by the Ministry of Education with 12.7% of the Morrawian Government Expenditure going into it. Elementary school consists of nine grades and is grouped into two stages:
After preschools, kids usually enroll into the nearest county elementary school. There, they learn in a same class 9 years. The last year, children either go to elementary school for another year or they can go study in another school, specifically Special Vocational Schools (SVS), which consists of 5 years of studying their subject of choosing. There are also two other options. If they finish the last year of elementary school, they can attend 4-year Academy, with a specific specialization to one subject. Option B is to go to 8-year Academy in the after 5th grade (instead of going to 6th grade), with four years of mandatory learning and then option to continue another four (optional) years or go to SVS. In the last year of either SVS or Academy, they must pass National Finals Test to pass the school. Every Province have their own NFTs, but National Curriculum exists, which give provincial school districts a framework for not only NFTs, but the whole education in general.
The next big step is either going straight to work, or going to University. Every Province has at least 3 Universities and there are 2 in Tawuii. The length of Universities varies from 6 to 10 years in total. The most famous universities are Palacký University in Králowec, Morrawian Royal College, University of Tatrany and Overseas University of Shomooshi.

Government
The Republic of Morrawia is a federation whose government is representative, democratic and republican based on a presidential system according to the 1861 Constitution. The constitution establishes three levels of government: the federal government, the provincial governments and the municipal governments. According to the constitution, all constituent provinces of the federation must have a republican form of government composed of three branches: the executive, represented by a governor and an appointed cabinet, the legislative branch constituted by a legislature of either bicameral or unicameral character and the judiciary, which will include a provincial Supreme Court. They also have their own civil and judicial codes.
Furthermore, constitution establishes departments and counties as middle entities between province and municipality and through itself or amendments creates a framework of powers and responsibilities, each county and district have. These changed quite a lot throughout history and are generally under control and administration of provincial governments.
The federal legislature is the bicameral Federal Congress, composed of the Senate of the Republic and the House of Representatives. The Congress makes federal law, declares war, imposes taxes, approves the national budget and international treaties, and ratifies diplomatic appointments.
The Federal Congress, as well as the provincial legislatures, are elected by a system that includes plurality and proportional representation for Senate and the House respectively. The House of Representatives has 741 representatives. These are voted every 4 years with multiple parties having a seat in the House. The requirement for the seat is at least 5 percent of the vote. The Senate is made up of 140 senators. Senators are voted for 6 years with elections every two year that replace 1/3 of the total senators. Every province is eligable for exactly 5 senators each.
The executive is the President of the Republic of Morrawia, who is the head of state and government, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Morrawian armed forces. The President also appoints the Cabinet and other officers like Supreme Court justices. The President is responsible for executing and enforcing the law, and has the power to veto bills.
The highest organ of the judicial branch of government is the Supreme Court of the Republic of Morrawia, the national supreme court, which has twelve justices appointed by the President and approved by the Supreme Review Commission and the Senate. The Supreme Court of the Republic of Morrawia is the highest court of appeals in the country for civil and other non-governmental matters. Other institutions of the highest judiciary are the Council of State, which serves as the highest court appeals in the matter of public complaints against governmental decisions and power and Constitutional Tribunal ensuring the constitutionality of laws and statutes passed in the country. Judiciary is independent of the government and the appointees by the President for Supreme Court judges need to be approved by the Supreme Review Commission, which is also independent. Other federal judges need only the approval of the Senate. These judges are for example in Federal Prescint Courts and Federal District Courts.
Following the fraudulent 1932 Presidential election in hand of the government´s Electoral Administration, an independent institute to oversee the electoral agency was created, National Electoral Office, now the Federal Election Commission. The Electoral Administration, which was seen as highly political was abolished in 1952 and the independent FEC became a primary administrator of federal elections in the country.

The President and Minister of Foreign Affairs have primary roles in setting foreign policy and they also represent the country abroad. Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) is an intelligence agency responsible for espionage and combating major crimes, which threaten the security of Morrawia within. It operates mainly on the territory of Morrawia. Foreign Intelligence Agency (FIA) doesn't solve crimes, but rather gathers information and engages in espionage outside Morrawia and thus helps form Morrawian Foreign Policy and protects Morrawia from external threats. It also protects embassies abroad. There many other federal agencies in Morrawia with various purposes from espionage and security to regulation and taxation.
Morrawia has bigger ties with its neighboring nations, as well as many others across the world with Morrawian officials have frequently supported dissenters in many totalitarian regimes in the past and this stand won´t probably change in the future either.

Major phone companies M-Phone, Connect-C and Bohemia United provider all services available to customers. Prices went significantly down after the privatization of government operated MCOM.
Culture
Art is a huge part of Morrawia´s history. Even before Morrawia, on the same territory, where Morrawia today lays, ancient tribes made little statues, cave paintings, ceramic dishes and so on. This was mainly the work of two tribes: Bann and Preah people. Preah people inhabited the territory as far as 1st century BC and Bann, who basically replaced them were predecessors of Bohemians, ruling the area from the 2nd to the 4th century when they merged into Bohemians. Another era of art can was during a reign of Boṙiwoj II., who ushered Morrawia into the First Golden Age, thanks to peace, sucessful trade and a relative wealth of the nation, artist started to pop-up, making paitings of king and his family and even regular people. House of Přemysl knew this was to everybody so they encouraged it during their rule. During the rule of the Empire there were numerous artists,, sculptors and composers making art in the name of a Emperor. After the Great Morrawian Revolution, artfroms exploded with painter like Nistor Lidek, Wojtėch Weselý, sculptor Wáclaw Koleċ and many others. 20th century was another boom for art with Morrawia Art Festival founded in 1941 and National Art Gallery established in Králowec in 1945. Both the festival and the art gallery continues to operate to this day.
Architecture is another thing, which has its roots deeply ingrained in Morrawia. As mentioned before, with acception of some cave tribes with little significance, Preah, were the first to inhabit this land building first fortified villages made of stone and wheat. During the reign of the first Pṙemysls, people were living long houses with typically 5 families living together in fortified villages. These buldings were made out of stone, wood and a roof was thatched. Between 13th-15th century, "Village and Town colonization" took place. This was event encouraged by kings at the time for people to settle furtherest lands of Morrawia for some money compensation as well as free land. By this time, many bigger town started to pop-up with 1 or two stories. The biggest example of this was in Králowec, where there were entire neigborhood built like this. At this time something called Morrawian Renaissance Style was present in the country. This was a mix between Gothic and Renaissance architecture style which resulted in my unusual builds to be built. During 19th and 20 century, new architecture forms showed-up in Morrawia such as Cubism, Neo-Gothic, Neo-Renaissance and other. From the 90s to the modern day, Morrawia is experiencing revival of new styles with modern building blending into the ancient cities around them.
Other forms, such as literature (Famous writer Franz Bauer, born in Elbennia), Music and Theatre and Film are also rooted into the culture heavily. There are annual music festivals, for example on Republican Day, or during the Holidays. National Theatre of Morrawia is a shining beacon in Morrawia and a big pride of the whole nation. Its the biggest theatre in the nation with frequent historical, patriotic and fun plays every day. Karlín Studios in Pilzáṅ serves as the biggest film producing studio in the nation from its founding in 1918. Related to this, Annual Lion Awards take place in National Theatre to award the best work in cinematography. Alligned with this are numerous other independent Musical Festivals (Federation Morrawia), Film Festivals (One World Film Festival) and countless others like pride parades, love festival, food festivals, nature festivals and more...
Talking about Film and things related to it, this brings us to Media. Journalists and media enjoy a fairly high degree of freedom. There are almost no restrictions in media, but some still exist, especially those supporting enemy regimes and few more. The Morrawian press was ranked in TOP 10 for the most free press in the World Freedom Index by Thrismari Press Assosiation. The most watched main news program are MNN (Morrawian News Network), Nova One, MBC (Morrawian Broadcasting Corporation) along with several other local news networks in each province. A news webpage in Morrawia is mbc24.mo, which is owned by MBC – the only national public television service – and its 24-hour news channel MBC24. Other public services include the National Radio and the Morrawian Broadcasting Corporation. For privately owned television services, there is MNN, the most popular channel in Morrawia.

Notable sportman is for example Wiktor Sixta, an olympic runner or brothers Francis Schtuss and Wenceslaus Schtuss, who are famous kayakers. A common sport is hiking. For hikers, thanks to the more than 120-year-old tradition, there is a Morrawian Hiking Markers System of trail blazing, that has been expanded ever since. There is a network of around 80,000 km of marked short- and long-distance trails crossing the whole country and all the Morrawian mountains.
Cuisine
Morrawian cuisine is marked by an emphasis on meat dishes with pork, beef, and chicken. Goose, duck, rabbit, and venison are served. Fish is also very common even served on Christmas as a special dish.
Morrawian beer with the first brewery is known to have existed in 993 and Morrawia has a really high beer consumption per capita, almost 102 liters. Many famous brands of bear are brewed in Morrawia and its provinces, such as: Králewic, The Monastery and Elbenium.
Infrastructure
The road network in Morrawia is 229,890 kilometers long. There are 13,100 km km of motorways as of 2019. The speed limit is 50 km/h within towns, 90 km/h outside of towns and 130 km/h on motorways.
Federal Highway System of Morrawia started contruction in 1925 with a passage of National Highway Act of 1925. Since then, many kilometres of highways were built with federal government giving most of the money to the provinces, who pay only small share of the price for new infrastructure. By 1956, 41% of all highways were built. In 1990, 91% was built and contruction began in Tawuii. By 2005 all highways were built in Morrawia and its territories. All major cities were connected along with many smaller but still important towns and industry centers. From this, smaller highways and speedways are being built to this day to connect less relevant parts of the country and most importantly, Morrawia with the rest of the world.
Morrawia has one of the densest rail network on the Anteria with over 53,732 km of tracks. Of that number, 36,215 km is electrified, 10,617 km are single-line tracks and the rest are double and multiple-line tracks. National Railways of Morrawia is the main railway operator in Morrawia, with about 390 million passengers carried yearly. Maximum speed is limited to 160 km/h on normal railways and up to 300 km/h on highspeed rails. In 2006, new model of highspeed trains entered the railways, called WRW.
Pṙemysl I. International Airport in Králowec is the main international airport in the country. In 2019, it handled more than 70 million passengers. In total, Morrawia has 52 airports with paved runways, ten of which provide international air services in Králowec, Ášen, Pilzáň, Berno, Osterawa, Olomóc, Elbennitz, Waldstein, Zeliná and Tatrany. This coincide with the biggest Morrawian cities with the majority of international airport being in either Bohemia or Wallashia.
Energy
Production of Morrawian electricity exceeds consumption by about 521 TWh per year, which are exported. Nuclear power presently provides about 58 percent of the total power needs, its share is projected to increase to almost 75 percent in the near future. By 2019, 19 percent of electricity was produced by steam and combustion power plants (mostly coal); 58 percent by nuclear plants; and 23 percent from renewable sources, including hydropower, windpower, biomass and solar energy. The largest Morrawian power resource is Nowé Hrady Nuclear Power Station.
Many Hydro Power Plants are located in Elbennia as the hilly terrain allows it. Big solar pannel fields are located all over the country and the topic has become increasingly controversial in recent years. Many politicians want to ban these fields as they are used only to tunnel money and not actually produce eletricity. Wind turbines can be found all over Morrawia and is the main source of energy in Tawuii.
Morrawia is reducing its dependence on highly polluting low-grade brown coal as a source of energy. Natural gas is produced in Lechowia, roughly three-fourths of domestic consumption, and from foreign companies, which make up most of the remaining one-fourth. Gas is 47% from Sewopolinia, Silesia and Lower Silesia and the rest is again from foreign nations. Northwest of Morrawia also has big oil and gas deposits.
