The Vynich Republic, also known by its short-form name, Vynichia, is a landlocked country in Southern Euclea of Kylaris. It is bordered by Tengaria to the south, Radushia to the west, Slirnia and Amathia to the east, and Tengaria to the south. The Vynich Republic has hilly landscape that covers an area of 265,171 kilometers (102,383 sq mi) with a mostly temperate continental climate and oceanic climate. It is a unitary semi-presidential republic.
The Kingdom of Vynikaj was historically recognized as the border state of the Solarian Empire despite having no direct relation with the empire. After the split of the kingdom in 850, the western Vynich kingdom shared an alliance with the Grand Principality of Tengaria, and following the establishment of the Empire of Tengaria in 1385, the two kingdoms were unified as the Principality of Veduria. The principality did not last more than three centuries, after its annexation by the Soravian Empire in 1650.
In the 19th century, the Vynich lands became more industrialized, becoming part of the Soravian Republic, following the First Soravian Civil War in 1857. After the two world wars, the Great War and Solarian War in the early 20th century, Vynichia became part of the Soravian Second Republic as the Vynich FSR. It was not until 4 February 1983 when the Soravian Second Republic dissolved following the Sostava War with its constituent states becoming the independent states of the Kantemosha, West Miersa, Radushia, and Vedmed. The Vynich Republic is a member of Samorspi, although it has been more leaning towards the EC since the Euclamesti Protest in 2009.
Vynichia today is a developing country with an advanced high social market economy, helped by its huge exports in heavy industry sectors such as machinery, automobile, as well as chemicals and medicaments. It also ranks high in the Human Development Index, with a relatively stable and safe community.
Etymology
The traditional name "Virilia" derives from Solarian "Viri lacus" which literally means "men of the lake", assigned to the tribes living in the east of the Lake Min. The current name of Vynichia comes from the Marolevic ethnonym associated with the area, which ultimately comes from the Vynich word "Vynikající". The name comes from the Marolevic tribe (Vynich: Vynik, Vynikaja) which can be traced back to the Proto-Marolevic root *Vyni, meaning "stand out", thus making it cognate to the Vynich word Vynikající (excellent) and Vynikat (stand out).
The country has been traditionally divided into three lands, namely Virilia (Vynikaja) in the west, Lucia (Luciu) in the east, and Vynich Minrovina (the smaller, south-western part of historical Minrovina, most of which is located within modern Miersa) in the northeast. A number of other names for the country have been used, including Vynich/Virilian lands, Vedurian Crown, Vynikaja, and Vynichia. When the country regained its independence after the Sostava War in 1983, the new name of Vynich Republic was coined to reflect the Vynich tribe, and the ancient Vynich kingdom reigning the Vedurian land before becoming the Principality of Vedur in 1389.
After a constitutional reform in 2010, the Vynich Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended the Estmerish name Vynichia, and the Vynich government approved Vynichia as the official short name in 2012.
