Sateroc, officially the Second Republic of Sateroc, is a country located in northeastern Euronia. It has the 13th largest population on its continent, which is around 32,000,000, and also has one of the biggest cities on the continent, Kolkesburg. The country is divided into 22 departments, two autonomous regions, and one administrative capital sector. To the south, Sateroc shares a small border with the country of Vœyetska, along with the Vasilin Sea. To the north, the Saterocian coastline borders the large Northern Ocean, where a majority of its coastline extends. Other large cities in Sateroc include Coretas, Elmonton, and Karinmaneno.
Various tribes inhabited the lands considered as Sateroc in the BC era, and these tribes soon turned into kingdoms and clans battling for control over different lands. The Cascutian Kingdom rose to prominence in the 13th century, followed by Sietatia and Rocea in the 14th and 15th centuries respectively. Afer multiple large wars between the three nations, Sietatia and Rocea united to form Sateroc in the late 17th century, and invaded the Aungoish state just a few years later. After experiencing rapid growth for a century, Sateroc invaded and annexed the remnants of Cascutia, which had been undergoing a bloody multi-sided civil war up to that point. Sateroc continued rapid growth throughout the 19th century which would slow down only in the beginning of the 20th.
By 1923, an economic crisis and harsh policies being put in place by previous monarchs resulted in the 1923 constitutional reform, which saw the creation of a parliament in Sateroc alongside the monarchy, along with the independence of Saroq. The next two decades saw a political struggle between the National Revolutionary Party and the Saterocian Peoples' Party, which resulted in numerous terrorist attacks such as the 1948 parliament bombing. Due to economic struggles and a poor monarchy, an assassination attempt was made on King Mirnesc V on December 29th, 1952, which prompted him to use the military to suspend parliament and declare a nationwide state of emergency. Protests emerged, and soon a revolution occured in which the monarch was overthrown and killed, which caused a 7 month-long civil war. After the civil war, the short-lived republic was overthrown by prominent General Arnaud Puoc following disagreements amongst high-ranking commanders. He quickly used his popularity within the military to establish a one-man dictatorship, along with a personality cult centered around militarism and anti-communism. The Puoc dynasty, as it is commonly referred to, lasted 63 years, and saw the First and Second Wheat Wars, the Vasilin Sea crisis and with a separatist conflict in Cascutia ongoing to this day. 2014 saw the Third Wheat War, Sateroc's successful invasion and re-annexation of Saroq, which had been de facto independent up to that point. In 2019, protests against the regime culminated in the 2019 Saterocian Revolution after George Puoc was forced out of office and arrested by the military, and he was replaced by Jonrov Mornes as the first president of Sateroc since 1954. Despite being a semi-presidential republic, Sateroc still continues to face problems with corruption and authoritarianism. On April 21st of 2023, following large-scale protests against the government, factions of the Armed Forces led by commander Paul Cherov would initiate a coup attempt, which began the 2023 Sateroc conflict.
Sateroc has a relatively weak economy for its size, however retains a large military due to large amounts of equipment and vehicles having been manufactured during the Puocist era. It is considered developing, due to its large amounts of impoverished citizens, along with restriction of civil rights for certain groups of people, specifically ethnic Cascutes and religious minorities. President Mornes, who has been accused of sponsoring a genocide in Cascutia during his years as a commander for George Puoc, has been heavily criticized for purposefully delaying elections and arresting political opponents in order to remain in power. It is currently a member of the Coalition of Crown Albatross. Sateroc has also regularly been referenced as one of the worst countries to live in, considering its economic state, authortiarian government, and frequent terrorist attacks as a result of the conflict in Cascutia.
Etymology
The name Sateroc comes from a mix of the two names Sietatia and Rocea, which both united to form Sateroc in the late 17th century. However, the origins of those two names are uncertain, considering that the history of those two nations are quite unknown before the AD era. Many believe Rocea comes from the word 'rocher', which means rock in the Saterocian language. It would make sense, considering the fact that Rocea's lands were full of the rocky mountain ranges known the Paupaut Mountains. As for Sietatia, there is really no knowledge of the history of its name, despite heavy research. There is just no evidence that could point to the formation of the name "Sietatia".
History
Prehistory(Before the 2nd century AD)
It is estimated that sometime around 30,000 years ago, the first humans arrived to the lands today known as Sateroc. Despite year-round freezing temperatures, it is believed that humans remained in those lands due to an abundancy of large animals which could be used as food. Eventually, inhabitants went on to create permanent civilizations, mainly near the southern coasts where Sateroc was at its warmest all year long. Religion in the area had largely been extremely diverse during these times, with dozens of religions and hundreds of different gods that the inhabitants had followed. At an unknown point in time, Christianity arrived to Sateroc and many immediately converted to Catholicism, especially after St. Maracath travelled around the lands of Sateroc in order to spread his teachings of God and Jesus. It was around this time where city-states, and eventually nations started forming.
