Historical background (help me out please):
The '''Bistravian Republic''' (bi. Бістравска Републіка, ''Bistravska Republika''), also known as '''Bistravia''' (bi. Бістравя, ''Bistravia'') is a {{wp|landlocked country}} in central [[Euclea]]. It is bordered by [[Vedmed]] to the north, [[Aurangia]] to the east, [[Amathia]] to the southeast, [[Tengaria]] to the south and [[Radushia]] to the east. Bistravia has a hilly landscape that covers over 250,000 km² (100,000 sq mi) with a mostly {{wp|temperate climate}}. The capital, Miensk, is also the largest city in the republic. Other major urban areas include Kraljovice, Růžyn, Sveti Hora and Andřejovice.
* no organized statehood before 6th century
* would there be any Solarian influence?
* decentralized tribal states between 6th - 10th century
* the biggest of them was Vyminia
* would the land be part of (vassalized directly or undirectly influenced) by Arciluco?
* early 11th century - annexed by Grand Principality of Tengaria? When exactly? For how long?
* Iconoclast Wars - very important! Which side am I expected to take? Could I use this as a mean for the nobility to break up from Tengaria and be relatively indepent or should I just go as a puppet state/direct vassal of the Tengarian Empire?
* 1650 - Soravian conquest, would like to leave it that way
* what role would Bistravia play in Soravia? I see it as a loosely populated state with few noble families ruling over large mines/pastures/farms
* rise of the Bistravian nationalism - mid 19th century or even later - Bistravian nationalism was weak and decentralized - lack of strong personalities or authority figures
* what role would Bistravia play in 20th century Soravia? Would it be a food provider? An industrial borderland. Possibly, given its easternmost position - arms manufacturing and machinery production?
* I'd rather make Bistravia break out from Soravia peacefully. Is it 1983?


Several early {{wp|feudal}} Marolevic states fought for the control over the area after fall of the Solarian Empire, with Vyzemia gaining an upper hand in the late 9th century, following the support of the [[Empire of Arciluco]] and introduction of the [[Sotiriniaty]] in the region. The Principality of Vyzemia, a client state of the Empire, controlled most of the eastern coast of lake Min until its vassalization by the [[Empire of Tengaria]] in 1330 by Ivan II. During the [[Iconoclast Wars]] the population of modern-day Bistravia, prone to religious conversion, supported the Iconoclasts, mainly the [[Realm of Thorns]]. Tengarian intervention ended the rebellion and installed Tengarian nobility on the principal seats. During the Tengarian golden age, many towns were founded, mostly along the coast of lake Min, as well as mines, {{wp|latifundium|latifundiums}} and universities. Fall of the empire saw the emergence of Tengaro-Bistravian and Amathian nobility, which created an independent Verovinian Principality in 1549. Increasing Soravian and Amathian influenced in the late 16th and early 17th century ultimately ended with the partition of the state in 1650.
Bistravian lands were subjected to heavy {{wp|industralization}} in the second half of the 19th century - mining, manufacturing and textile industry developed in the area. The region, comparatively undeveloped, quickly turned into an important industrial sate of the [[Soravian Empire]]. During the late 1800s, a Bistravian {{wp|nationalism}} emerged, focused mostly on the rural population, which had less privileges and opportunities than Soravo-Bistravian and Amathio-Bistravian {{wp|burgher (class)|burgher}} class. Bistravian nationalism would be hindered by the [[Great Collapse]] and the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], though, eventually, a Bistravian Federal Soravian Republic was created in 1936, the first Bistravian {{wp|ethno-state}}. The Soravian civil war resulted in the Bistravian declaration of dissolution on 4th February 1980, while a new constitution was signed in 1982. Since then, the republic is a {{wp|democracy|democratic}} and independent state.

The Bistravian Republic (bi. Бістравска Републіка, Bistravska Republika), also known as Bistravia (bi. Бістравя, Bistravia) is a landlocked country in central Euclea. It is bordered by Vedmed to the north, Aurangia to the east, Amathia to the southeast, Tengaria to the south and Radushia to the east. Bistravia has a hilly landscape that covers over 250,000 km² (100,000 sq mi) with a mostly temperate climate. The capital, Miensk, is also the largest city in the republic. Other major urban areas include Kraljovice, Růžyn, Sveti Hora and Andřejovice.

Several early feudal Marolevic states fought for the control over the area after fall of the Solarian Empire, with Vyzemia gaining an upper hand in the late 9th century, following the support of the Empire of Arciluco and introduction of the Sotiriniaty in the region. The Principality of Vyzemia, a client state of the Empire, controlled most of the eastern coast of lake Min until its vassalization by the Empire of Tengaria in 1330 by Ivan II. During the Iconoclast Wars the population of modern-day Bistravia, prone to religious conversion, supported the Iconoclasts, mainly the Realm of Thorns. Tengarian intervention ended the rebellion and installed Tengarian nobility on the principal seats. During the Tengarian golden age, many towns were founded, mostly along the coast of lake Min, as well as mines, latifundiums and universities. Fall of the empire saw the emergence of Tengaro-Bistravian and Amathian nobility, which created an independent Verovinian Principality in 1549. Increasing Soravian and Amathian influenced in the late 16th and early 17th century ultimately ended with the partition of the state in 1650.

Bistravian lands were subjected to heavy industralization in the second half of the 19th century - mining, manufacturing and textile industry developed in the area. The region, comparatively undeveloped, quickly turned into an important industrial sate of the Soravian Empire. During the late 1800s, a Bistravian nationalism emerged, focused mostly on the rural population, which had less privileges and opportunities than Soravo-Bistravian and Amathio-Bistravian burgher class. Bistravian nationalism would be hindered by the Great Collapse and the Great War, though, eventually, a Bistravian Federal Soravian Republic was created in 1936, the first Bistravian ethno-state. The Soravian civil war resulted in the Bistravian declaration of dissolution on 4th February 1980, while a new constitution was signed in 1982. Since then, the republic is a democratic and independent state.

Bistravia is a unitary, semi-presidential republic and a developing country comprised of 13 regions (bi. крає, kraje). Its market economy is largely based on services, though industries (such as machinery or mining) and agriculture still play an important role. Bistravian Republic is the member of many international organizations: Community of Nations, International Trade Organization and, most importantly, Samorspi. The country faces several socioeconomic problems: poverty is still prevalent throughout the nation, while corruption and nepotism affect many political groups on all levels. Bistravia is considered a flawed democracy, with many of the human rights below the level of other Euclean nations in the east.
