Poliania (Polianian: Ⱂⱁⰾⰵⱀⰻⱑ tr. Poljénija), officially the Tsardom of Poliania (Polianian: Ⱅⱄⰰⱃⱄⱅⰲⱁ Ⱂⱁⰾⰵⱀⰻⱑ tr. Tsárstvo Poljénija), also referred to as the Kingdom of Poliania (Polianian: Ⰽⱃⰰⰾⱄⱅⰲⱁ Ⱂⱁⰾⰵⱀⰻⱑ tr. Králstvo Poljénijaę), is a sovereign parliamentary constitutional monarchy located in Western Euclea. The nation borders, from clockwise, Narozalica and the Mazdan Sea.
Humans have inhabited Poliania since the Neolithic Era. Various tribes dominated the political scene of Poliania until the 8th century. In the southwest of the country, these tribal polities coalesced into Great Vesemir, a tribal confederation centered around the Principality of Vesemir. During this time, the Marolevic peoples inhabiting Poliania converted to Sotirianity. By the turn of the 12th century, Great Vesemir had transformed itself into the Kingdom of Poliania. Under King Vladislav I, the nascent kingdom rapidly expanded throughout the south of the country. Expansion of the kingdom northwards was ultimated halted in 1321 following a defeat to Nikolai of Lipa. Following the defeat, the country largely became a backwater, however several colonial expeditions resulted in the settlement of Chistovodia. The nation's defeat in the Ten Years' War saw the loss of the Chistovodia and Belgarin to Narozalica. A secondary effect of the war saw Poliania become a subordinate power to the newly formed Narozalic Empire.
In 1852, Poliania entered into an alliance with Werania and would become involved in the War of the Triple Alliance, gaining back Belgarin and other territories the nation lost previously to Narozalica. On 30 November, 1855, two weeks before the end of the war, Alexander IV was proclaimed Emperor of All-Polianians, subsequently founding the Polianian Empire. A Narozalic-inspired republican revolt led to the adoption of a constitution and general liberalisation of Polianian society in 1869. Seeking to contain the new Narozalic Republic, Poliania fostered ties with Gaullica. The Functionalist Patriot Movement won elections in 1920, joining Gaullica as the second Functionalist nation in Euclea. Poliania joined Gaullica on the side of the Entente during the Great War. The nation's loss saw it briefly occupied by Grand Alliance forces, primarily Narozalica, in addition to losing territory to the latter, and a republic was established on 10 March, 1935. This republic was short-lived, and a constitutional referendum held on 26 February, 1938 saw the monarchy restored. Since the foundation of the Euclean Community, Poliania has maintained close ties with East Euclea.
Poliania is officially a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The nation's head of state is the Tsar of Poliania, currently Vizimir II, who has held the title since 1945. The head of government of the nation is the Minister-President of Poliania, currently Iliyana Valcheva, and functions similarly to that of a prime minister in other constitutional monarchies. The nation's legislature is the bicameral Veche, composed of the 120-member Chamber of Envoys and the 533-member lower house, the Chamber of the Land. The largest political party is the Constitutional Democratic Party, which has held a majority in both houses of the Veche since the 2018 elections.
Internationally, Poliania is considered to be a middle power. It is a founding member of the Community of Nations and International Council for Democracy, as well as a member of the International Trade Organization and Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs. With a nominal GDP of approximately $2.06 trillion, Poliania is the Xth richest country in Euclea, and the Yth largest in the world. The country is also the 3rd largest in Euclea, behind Narozalica and Gaullica, with an estimated 2020 population of 76.5 million.
