The Kingdom of Halicz-Słupica, commonly known as Halicz-Słupica, is a sovereign country in western North Osea. It is bordered by the Ceres Ocean in the west and Souloun in the north. The total area of Halicz-Słupica is 747 401 km2 and its population equals roughly 104 million (as of 2036).
Halicz-Słupica is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy. Its capital is Halicz, which is also the largest city in the country with a population of 8.468 million. The country is comprised of 11 provinces, one of which is the Capital City of Halicz.
The symbolic beginning of Haliczan history are the Baptism of Halicz in 975 and the subsequent incorporation of the borough of Halicz into the Duchy of Owrucz. Nearly 100 years later, count Bolesław II conquered Owrucz and proclaimed the Kingdom of Halicz. However, it was annexed by the neighbouring country of Rumelia in 1241 following an unsuccessful war. This event marked the beginning of an over 400 years long period of foreign rule. During that time, the Free City of Słupica was established on the West Sea coast near Halicz and just outside of Rumelian borders.
In the 1640s, Rumelia became overcome with unrest and responded to this threat with repressions. This led to a Haliczan uprising breaking out in 1655 and starting the 4 year long War of Haliczan Independence, which ended with a decisive Haliczan victory. The leader of the insurgents, Karol Halicki, was elected as the first Duke of Halicz under the name of Karol III. The country entered a period of intense development, culminating in the reign of Felicjan I (1740-1786), often described as the golden age of Halicz.
Following an ultimatum by the Duchy of Halicz, the Free City of Słupica was forced to enter a union with it in 1756, forming the Grand Duchy of Halicz-Słupica. During the following decades, the autonomy of Słupica was significantly reduced, resulting in its formal incorporation in 1772. In 2026, Grand Duke Stefan proclaimed himself the King of Halicz-Słupica, thus changing the country's name to the Kingdom of Halicz-Słupica.
Etymology
The name of Halicz-Słupica comes from a union established in 1756 between two states: the Duchy of Halicz and the Free City of Słupica. Both of these states were named after their respective capitals.
