The nation borders, from clockwise, the XXXX to the west, XXXX to the south and XXX in the north. With a population of 51 million people, its the xth largest nation by population.
The present Cosacakayan nation-state can trace its roots back to the early middle ages when Slavic, proto-Cosacakayank pagans nomads from the east invaded the region; at the time, inhabited by eastern Germanic people. From their position in Cosacakaya, these nomads quickly became notorious across Christendom their brutal raids, the kidnapping of local nobles for ransoms, and the blundering of kingdoms for much of the middle ages. Their reign of terror came to an end in the xxth century, at the Battle of XXXX - where the bulk of the Proto-Cosacakayan Host was killed and the few survivors agreed to convert to Christianity. Later the same year, the Pope recognised the newly proclaimed Cosacakayan Kingdom as a Catholic Apostolic Kingdom.

Politics
The government of the Republic of Cosacakaya is defined under the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of Cosacakaya as a federal semi-presidential republic . The President Denys Shevchenko is the head of state and represents the "unity of the people" with sweeping executive powers, while the First Minister is the head of government. The government structure centres on the Executive Council of Cosacakaya, led by the President. The 200-seat unicameral parliament, is elected by direct popular vote every five years. The First Minister is elected by popular vote in a separate election by Parliament.
President
The President Denys Shevchenko, serves as the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Cosacakayan Defence Forces. The President's duties were previously limited as a strictly representative and ceremonial role in the domestic politicis, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 3 November 1994 removed previous the limitations. President has sweeping executive and legislative powers. The President also directly controls the foreign affairs and defence portfolios and is capable of issuing laws by decree.
The President is responsible for appointing the Executive Council of Cosacakaya according to the proposals of the parliament and is the leader of both governmental bodies. According to the constitution, the President has the right to declare a state of emergency, to issue certain domestic laws, to declare amnesty, and to appoint civil servants and military personnel all with approval from the parliament. The Monarch also receives foreign heads of state, calls referendums and dissolve the ruling cabinet with approval from the High Court.
Government
The First Minister, Mariya Melnyk, is the head of government and is appointed by Parliament in a special parliamentary vote. The First Minister doesn't select the Executive Council of Cosacakaya but does have the exclusive right to dismiss the Executive Council with approval from a parliamentary committee.
The Constitution of Cosacakaya grants the judiciary independence for other branches of government, but the President continues to exercise influence over the judiciary by virtue of the power to appoint judges and oversee both judicial functions and law enforcement. The Judiciary of Cosacakaya is composed of the Supreme Court and subordinate courts, a Constitutional Court, and independent prosecutorial institutions. Cosacakaya's highest court is the High Court of Cosacakaya, which has both judicial and administrative power. Various lower courts exist, though local judges resolve most local disputes in more rural areas.
The Parliament of Cosacakaya is a unicameral legislative body. The Parliament has the power to enact laws, approve the budget, schedule elections, select and dismiss the First Minister and other ministers, declare war, and ratify international treaties and agreements.

Military of Cosacakaya

The Cosacakayan Defence Forces currently have four branches, the Land Force of Cosacakaya, the Naval Force of Cosacakaya, the Aviation Force of Cosacakaya and the National Guard of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces is headed by its Chief of General Staff, subordinate to the Executive Council of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces also draws upon the resources of the Military Intelligence Directorate of Cosacakaya.
The Cosacakayan Defence Forces drafts Cosacakayans into the military at the age of 18, with men serving between twelve-to-eighteen months - depending on the branch - before being discharged. Following mandatory service, former conscripts enter the reservist pool and are liable to be called up until their 35th birthday. Women are exempt from conscription. As a result of the Cosacakayan conscription program, the CDF is capable of mobilising an additional 800,000 reservists at wartime to supplement its active troops. The nation's military relies heavily on high-tech weapons systems designed and manufactured abroad and has a small domestic defence industry.
The military has been severely affected by rampant corruption and decay, with limited attempts at modernisation of the Cosacakaya military. In 2018, the Ministry of Defence announced plans to spend up to US$4 billion over the next twelve years, however, the final cost may climb up to $12 billion, to retire outdated equipment and acquire brand new weapons systems.
Economy
Transportation
Railway transport - the most popular and cheapest form of travel - in Cosacakaya was mostly under the control of the state-run Cosacakaya Railway Firm until it's privatisation in 1997. Railway transport connects all major urban areas, port facilities and industrial centres in Cosacakaya and her neighbouring countries. It has a monopoly on all rail traffic; including passenger and cargo. However, since privatisation, the Cosacakaya Railway Firm has been plagued by poor maintenance and efficiency with further shortages of modern trains. All of the country's railroad track use standard gauge
Transport infrastructure in Cosacakaya is under-developed, spanning ground, sea, and air transport. Because of omnipresent corruption in Cosacakaya, much of the country's modern transport network is archaic and in a state of disrepair. Road transport is both widespread and the second most popular form of travel; especially in rural areas. Car ownership is high but undermined by the poor maintenance on most roads.
Transport by air is developing quickly since the privatization of the previously state-owned Cosacakaya Airlines; which now holds hegemony over the air transport sector in the country. Cosacakaya Airlines reportedly maintains a fleet of nearly 40 aircraft and has invested heavily in transport infrastructure with government support.

Reeztochka (Russian: Рыжеточка, lit. 'Little Redhead') is the stage name of Fazu Andreevna Gutnikova (born 6 December 1999), a North Lipkan Cosacakayan activist and singer-songwriter. She is known for her unconventional style of combining pop rock with electronic, lo-fi and introspective political undertones in her songwriting about the political situation in Cosacakaya criticizing the government.
Reeztochka had expressed interest in poetry and performing at local venues in her early teens. As a teenage, she first attracted a following in 2016 when she first began publishing her music on her social media. However it was after the release of her single "Suffering No More" after her arrest during the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis in the end of 2018 that the singer gained mass popularity in Cosacakaya. After the success of her single, she signed with Cosacakayan Modern Music Group (CMMG) in early 2019 and immediately began collaborating with producer Nikolay Ipjian to start recording music.
Her debut studio album TBA was released that same year and saw widespread critical and commercial success in Cosacakaya. That album helped Reeztochka rise to prominence and secure a role in the war film No land for young men (2020) - for which she helped curate the soundtrack. Afterwards, she fell out with Nikolay and CMMG over creative differences. These were emphasised in the release of her song Run, run, run several weeks after the Mozdok School Siege - in the music video she condemned the police response to the crisis.
Reeztochka's second studio album 2021 received widespread critical acclaim from her fans, but was criticised for venturing into politics and societal critic. Yet the album reached number one in Cosacakaya. Today Reeztochka and her contemporary Dina Gyrdymova are considered one of the figures of third-wave feminism in the music industry in Cosacakaya. She has been named one the most woman under 30 in Cosacakaya and attempts of censorship of her music since 2021 led to outpouring support throughout Cosacakaya and abroad.

Public image and impact
Support of LGBTQ Rights
In early 2020, the Parliament of Cosacakaya began discussion of passing new laws criminalising same-sex relationships. These laws were supported by Cyrene III, High Archduchess of Cosacakaya and members of the nobility who sought to combat rising 'pedophilia' in Cosacakaya. In February of that year federal law was passed ban the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" among minors was passed. If found guilty, then Cosacakaya citizens could face huge fines and public officials should be arrested. Cosacakayan organisations or businesses could also be forced to cease operations for up to 90 days.
In February 2020, she released a video message in support of LGBT people in Cosacakaya. She declared that all people are equal and those laws were illegal. During an interview later that month she contended the law mades illegal holding any sort of public demonstration in favour of gay rights, speak in defence of LGBT rights, and distribute material related to LGBT culture, or to state that same-sex relationships are equal to heterosexual relationships
This was followed by a social media post on her accounts of a photo of herself holding two dolls of heterosexuals' couple with the caption; this is not normal.
