Lipnitia (Lipnitian: Липнитска, Lipnitska), officially the Republic of Lipnitia (Lipnitian: Народовладство Липнитска, Narodovladstvo Lipnitska), is a country in eastern Tauride. It is bordered by TBA. Lipnitia is a unitary state subdivided into 13 administrative subdivisions, having an area of TBA square kilometres and a mainly continental climate. Its capital and largest city is Krasnograd. The country's other major cities include Krylov, Rogovsk, Groznica, Bielinsk, Niemskov, Ljvovo, Kopanovo, and Ždanov.
The presence of Lipans, a Slavic ethnic group who originated in eastern Zemlya, in the area of present-day Lipnitia can be traced back to the early 8th century. They organised the state into principalities, which were united as one state of which Lipomir I became the first prince by 975. It retained its sovereignty for two centuries, and was later re-organised into a vassal state of Sremia as the Principality of Lipnitia in 1268 after a Sremian incursion. The Principality was later abolished following a Lipnitian uprising and the advent of the Kožuxovič dynasty who expanded Lipnitia into a vast empire by pursuing a conquest of bordering kingdoms and previous Lipnitian vassals.
In 1684, civil war was sparked by the abdication of Emperor Vyšeslav III, which imperial forces lost after the Battle of Diedinov. The ruling Kožuxovič dynasty were overthrown and a number of nearby kingdoms were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lipnitia, which granted Lipnitia the largest territorial claim in its history until 1865, when Sremia launched an invasion of Lipnitia. Kadolha occupied the south east of Lipnitia as a retaliation to Sremia and set up the Protectorate of Krasnograd as a dependent territory.
Vladimir Kozlovski has been the country's leader since 1999. He has been accused of human rights violations and favouring an authoritarian style of government. However, Kozlovski's apologists point to socialist policies like the state providing free education and a universal health care system for citizens. Under Kozlovski's presidency, Lipnitia has become a member state of several supranational organisations.
