The Republic of Sebrenskija, commonly referred to as Sebrenskiya, is a country comprised of 11 republics. It is the 50th largest country by land mass, and with a population of 57,055,201 people, is the 19th largest country in the world by population. The capital and largest city is the also the capital of Sebrenskiya, the city of Pančevo. It is bordered to the North by Letnia and Vihoslavia, bordered to the south by Ostland, and to the west by Sieuxerr and Reberiya. The entire country is contiguous, and is encompassed in a single time zone.

Slavic migrants moved into the area of Sebrenskiya around 1,200 years ago, and fought with various Eisen tribes for control. These tribes eventually took control and began to form kingdoms. Sebrenskiya is considered to be the direct successor to the Kingdom of Pancevo, which was one of the first significant organized country by Slavic rule. For several years, several slavic kingdoms came to rise. Aggressive expansion by the Kingdom of Sebrenskiya continued to expand to near the modern day borders. After a devastating civil war which resulted in the removal of Maldania, Sebrenskiya formed one of the foremost military forces in Central Casaterra. Though Maldania rejoined the Sebrenskiyan Kingdom peacefully, the military might was tested against forces of old Sieuxerr, who invaded Saintonge in order to flee Napoleon rule. Sebrenskiya suffered multiple catastrophic defeats, and lost the territory.

Sebrenskiya emerged into the 19th century battered, humiliated, and on the verge of collapse. Through a series of economic reforms, Sebrenskiya was gearing to be a regional giant and potentially a world power by the 1900s. Invasion by Ostland in the 1880s, however, brought Sebrenskiya's economic growth to a grinding halt, with a significant war which resulted in the total destruction of Southern Sebrenskiya. During the reconstruction process, Sebrenskiya significantly addressed its military concerns. By the 1930s, Sebrenskiya had one of the largest land armies in the region, and by 1940, was preparing to fight Nazist Ostland. In 1942, Sebrenskiya invaded Saintonge, and in 1943, Sebrenskiya invaded Ostland, joining the Pan-Septentrion War. A victorious Sebrenskiya emerged from the war as a powerful regional state, but quickly found itself back in feuds with Ostland over the bordering waterways.

Sebrenskiya is a founding member of the Letnian Commonwealth. It is an upper-middle income economy with a dominant service industry, which is followed by the industrial sector.

Etymology

It is uncertain where the phrase "Sebrenskan" came from to refer to the people of the area of Pancevo, but documents show the people being named that as far back as the 4th century. The Kingdom of Pancevo quickly expanded to take the vast majority of the area controlled by the Sebrenskan people, ejecting their minority-Eisen rulers. Sebrenskija, or The Land of the Sebrenskans, was adopted officially in 903, though evidence exists of the kingdom being referred to as that as far back as the 850s.

History

Pan-Septentrion War

Against Saintonge

Sebrenskiya invaded Saintonge on March 4th, 1942, joining Sieuxerr's march into Saintonge. By 1942, the allies were closing in on all sides, with Ostland faltering in Vihoslavia, Saintonge collapsing against Sieuxerr, and Kerenevoi suffering major defeats in the southern portion of the continent.

Sebrenskiyan troops quickly overran the initial defences in Saintonge. The initial fighting was light, as Sebrenskan forces poured into an unprepared Saintonge. Sebrenskiya performed a double pincer attack against Saintonge, pushing towards Prilep and Travnik at the same time.

After taking travnik, Sebrenskiya pushed and took Novi Pazar.

President Dabiživ Sandić

The Federal President of the Republic of Sebrenskiya is the unelected, appointed leader for life of the Executive Branch, who has the power to veto legislation and produce budget requests. He also has the power to declare a State of Emergency, rendering the legislative branch as a consulting agency and giving the President absolute power. The Parliament has 24 hours to agree to a National Emergency Declaration.

The President is selected by a list of potential leaders updated every two years, submitted to Parliament and approved. Should the president die, the order of the list is gone down, based on either currently eligible, living, and willing to be the President of Sebrenskiya.

Law and Criminal Justice

See also: Law enforcement in Sebrenskiya and National Court (Sebrenskiya)

Sebrenskiya has a codified legal system, and was one of the first nations in Casaterra to have a codified system. These codes are published in order that they are signed into law.

Law Enforcement is provided by the Ministry of the Interior. The Sebrenskiyan National Police are the primary law enforcement agency, but in 2017, the Republican Parliament permitted the City of Pancevo to create its own police force. There are any number of "Code Enforcement" agencies, which only look for civil or regulatory violations in respect to republic law. Regulatory violations in regards to national law are still under the jurisdiction of the National Police. Additionally, under the Ministry of Defence, Special Weapons teams exist to capture entrenched criminals.

The National Court is separated into four primary levels and one government regulation level. The lowest level is the Civil Courts, to which violations of republic regulatory code and violation of minor laws are dealt with. Traffic tickets, for example, would come to this court. Additionally, these courts help to provide marriage licenses and other legal affairs. The next level is the National Criminal Court, which is responsible for violations of national law. After this is the National Appeals Court, which is responsible for handling appeals from lower courts. The final court is the Supreme Appeals Court, which is responsible for any additional appeals after the National Appeals Court. This court is capable of striking down laws which violation the National Constitution. There is one Regulatory Court, which is responsible for solving disputes between republics and also between the national government and a republic. In practice, however, it is only used to solve disputes between republics.

Foreign Relations

Sebrenskiya holds a pivotal role as a founding member of the Northern Organization, an alliance formed in 2022 in the aftermath of the Second Pan-Septentrion War. This war, which saw the Namhae Front and the Entente Cordial engaged in a conflict, led to the establishment of the Northern Organization to maintain regional stability.

In addition to its commitment within the Northern Organization, Sebrenskiya maintains strong bilateral ties with several key nations. The country shares a profound alliance with the Hallian Commonwealth and Themiclesia, indicating its dedication to preserving a united front against common threats.

Sebrenskiya's diplomatic engagements extend beyond its immediate region to include relations with Mittlekasa, an organization encompassing the Federation of Soviet Republics, Ostland, and Kerenevoi. These connections underscore Sebrenskiya's commitment to fostering international partnerships and promoting stability on a broader scale.

Despite its affiliations with the Hallian Commonwealth and Themiclesia, who view the Entente Cordial as a primary adversary, Sebrenskiya has managed to maintain moderately good relations with the Entente. This diplomatic balance showcases Sebrenskiya's ability to navigate complex political landscapes while upholding its commitments to various allies.

Sebrenskiya's dedication to preserving peace and security extends to its proactive participation in military interventions alongside its allies. Notable instances include its involvement in the Peninsular War, the war in Vyzvha, and the Calafian invasion of Uskonmaa, where Sebrenskiya aligned with the Uskonmaa forces.

In an unprecedented move, Sebrenskiya declared war against Beloslavia in 2022. This declaration came in response to a coup within the Beloslavian government, culminating in the intentional massacre of Sebrenskiyan peacekeepers during a friendly mission.

Military

The Armed Forces of Sebrenskiya is a cornerstone of the nation's defense and security strategy. It operates under the oversight of the Sebrenskiyan Ministry of Defence and is led by the current Minister of Defence, Alen Ivanovski. Comprising approximately 75,000 active personnel and 85,000 reserve personnel, it maintains a professional force size while allocating an annual budget of $33.7 billion, accounting for 2.18% of the country's GDP.

The military is organized into three key branches: the Sebrenskiyan National Army, responsible for land-based operations and equipped with modern assets like the T-10 Main Battle Tank; the Sebrenskiyan National Air Force, overseeing fixed-wing aircraft; and the Sebrenskiyan Maritime Security and Diplomacy Force, established in 2010 to manage maritime interests and diplomatic efforts, headquartered in the allied nation of Vihoslavia.

Under the leadership of the nation's President, who serves as the Commander-in-Chief, the Sebrenskiyan Armed Forces are known for their professionalism and contemporary equipment.

Demographics

According to 2015 census, Sebrenskiyan's have a literacy rate of 98%, a computer literacy rate of 68%, and a complete computer literacy rate of 48.2%. The same census showed that 18.9% of people had higher education, 48% had secondary education, 20.6% had elementary education, and 12.5% had not yet finished elementary education.

Education in Sebrenskiya is regulated by the Ministry of the Interior, and ALL public education is provided free of cost. Compulsory education is 8 years of elementary school starting at the age of 7, as well as, introduced into law in 2017, four years of secondary school. Pre-schools have not gained much traction in Sebrenskiya, but option-education day cares, similar to pre-schools, are gaining traction as of 2018. After finishing secondary school, students are given the option of vocational education or university. All compulsory education is held in Sebrenskiyan, the official language, but it is also required by national law to teach students the native language of their respective republic. For the four republics, Sebrenska, Novi Sebrenska, Novi Zetenski, and Novi Resenia, whose native language is Sebrenskiyan, they are required to learn one of the other nationally recognized languages, but students are permitted to chose which.

The most notable private university is the University of Novi Pazar, which is the oldest private university in the country.

Economy

Energy

Sebrenskiya's energy market is an increasingly diverse mix of fossil fuel, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, and wind power. In 1975, Sebrenskiya's energy sector was largely dominated by coal power, with only just under a quarter of power being produced from other sources. Now, Sebrenskiya is a net exporter of energy, and fossil fuels, now primarily natural gas, sits at just under 31% of all power used.

Power production by percentage in 2018

For decades, nuclear power played a pivotal role in Sebrenskiya, as the state-owned power company used nuclear reactors to provide lots of cheap power to large customer bases. In addition, Sebrenskiya's export of nuclear power to Menghe and other states provided the ability for the country to continue to have cheap power without budgetary deficits in the state-owned company. As nuclear reactors have incredibly long life spans, as waste reuse reactors fine designs internationally, the country looks to add this to nuclear plants they are intending to replace.

Sebrenskiya's carbon footprint is decreasing and has been since at least 1999. Recent changes include aggressive fuel efficiency standards and laws dedicating all new national highways to be concrete based (removing petroleum, maintenance efforts, and increasing roadway fuel efficiency).

Industry

The industry sector has been allowed to thrive in Sebrenskiya by fact of lower wages than most Casaterran states. In recent years, the Sebrenskiyan economy has begun to transform more rapidly into a form of "service economy", and some industries have seen downsizing. Sebrenskiya has 18 free economic zones as of 2019.
