Ostrothia (Ostrothian: Ostrii), officially the Republic of Ostrothia (Ostrothian: Ostrii Vabariik), is a country in Astyria. Ostrothia covers a total area of 63,400 km2 (24,478 sq mi), and is influenced by a humid continental climate. Ostrothia is a member of the Lorecian Community. Rõlva, the capital of Ostrothia and Laadu are the largest cities and urban areas in the country. Other notable cities include Haku, Novessaare, Jõhku and Soulu. The official language of the country, Ostrothian, is a Valkenic language.

Ostrothia has been settled since 10,000 BC. In the first century AD counties known as Maakond were formed which were frequently raided by Vikings who founded the modern Ostrothian capital of Rõlva. Valkean crusades brought christianity to Ostrothia and by the 14th cemtury most of Ostrothia was under Valkean rule in the form of The Duchy of Ostrothia which was established in 1350. In the early 1500's the rerformation brought lutheranism to Ostrothia. In the 1860's the National Awakening saw the reemergence of the Ostrothian language and Ostrothian culture. This culminated in the 1905 revolution in which Ostrothian nationalists attempted to create an Ostrothian Republic. The revolution ended in 1906 as Valkea assimilated Ostrothia into Valkea proper. The Ostrothian language and national symbols such as the Ostrothian triband were banned. This caused Ostrothian nationalism to rise. In 1916 as Valkea fell into civil war Ostrothian nationalists claimed independence. The Valkean army invaded in early 1917 and the Ostrothian war of Independence insued. It lasted until August of that year as the Valkean armed forces was forced to focus on the civil war in Valkea. Ostrothia became a de facto independent state not gaining full recognition from the Valkean government as independent until 1923. Ostrothia joined the Lorecian Community in 1997.

Politics

Since gaining its independence in 1923 Ostrothia has been a Parliamemtary Unitary republic. The Ostrothian head of state is the President. The Presidency of Ostrothia is a completely ceremonial role and the President has no say in the actual running of the country, the role of the President is simply to represent Ostrothia as a figurehead. The head of the executive government of Ostrothia is the Prime Minister who along with his/her cabinet is charged with drafting legislation to the Ostrothian Unicameral parliament the Rahvakogu. The Rahvakogu was first formed in 1918 and is made up of 190 members who are responsible for voting for legislation drafted by the executive government. To gain a majority in the Rahvakogu a party must win 95 seats, the current party in power is Solidaarsus ha Isamaa. The Rahvakogu is elected by all Ostrothian citizens over the age of 18 by universal suffrage every 5 years. The Rahvakogu has been dominated by centre-left parties for the past 30 years. The judiciary branch of the Ostrothian government is split into high or national courts and then further into municipal courts.
