Cyrene III (Cyrene Olena Ulyana Oxana Ivanov; b. 23 December 1976) is the High Archduchess of Cosacakaya. She ascended the throne after the death of her grandfather, High Archduke Andriy II.

Initially, unexpected to succeed her father and older brother, she was thrust into the position of heir apparent after the 2010 Cosacakaya Airlines Flight 122 Incident, when both her father and brother perished in an aircraft crash. After several months, she was finally appointed heir to the throne following a constitutional amendment was implemented finally which allowed women to inherit the throne.

Following the death of her grandfather, her coronation was delayed by opposition to a woman becoming High Archduchess of Cosacakaya during the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis and 2018 Cosacakayan opposition Protests. These tensions came ahead during the Black Thursday, in which with the support of Grand Prince Yuri and the Bolyar, purged overthrew the civilian government and solidified Cyrene III hold on the throne. Since the Black Thursday, Cyrene III and Grand Prince Yuri have undergone sweeping purges of the Cosacakayan government, nobility and Siloviki; consolidating and cementing their authority over the apparatuses of the government of Cosacakaya through her Oprichniki.

Since the start of her reign, the policies of her government have witnessed a large increase of repression against political rivals through the Oprichnina and a growing willing to use violence for the denial of channels for peaceful change. Government corruption, the inability of her government to deliver public services, and the lack of equality of opportunity has continued to dramatically increase. Opposition figures have criticised her government of increasing corruption, nepotism, and kleptocracy within the government and security services.

Allegations of fostering a cult of personality

Cyrene often appears in religious clothing, trying to appear a devout motherly figure of all Cosacakayans.

Cyrene has worked to cultivate a cult of personality around herself and the Cosacakayan Royal Family, an accusation that the Royal Family has denied.

Since 2022, foreign observers reported Cyrene's government intensifying attempts to establish an Imperial cult around the her family was the only way to counter growing opposition to the monarchy.

Observer of the Cosacakayan monarchy, Michael Kofman, believed that is was part of a broader stragery of her trying to consolidate and strengthen her own power against nobility

Economic Policy

Cyrene's reign has been marked by a concentrated effort to increase government control over the economy directly and indirectly through the nobility. A key part of this policy has been through centralisation of the economy with a growing priority on self-sufficiency and independence from other nations in the world.

Cyrene is a noted opponent of abortion and she has stated: "In the modern world, it's criminal how civilised names allow mass murder of children every day. This is the greatest tragedy of our generation." As heir apparent, she supported efforts to reduce the number of abortions. At the time, this put at odds with High Archduke Andriy II.

Public Image

Cyrene has been frequently pictured with children since ascension.

Since her ascension, Cyrene has adopted a benevolent strongwoman image. Political commenters has noted how she has sought to project herself as the Mother Cosacakaya.

Controversy

Cultural Assimilation

In 2021, Cyrene meet with representatives from the relevant departments, legislative and executive government bodies in the Buryatyan Military Authority to discuss the intergradation of Buryat children into general Cosacakayan culture. According to human rights activists, they finalised plans for the transferring of Buryat orphans from the Buryatyan Military Authority to the custody of ethnic Cosacakayan families.

Over the next few weeks, the Cosacakayan Movement For Democracy reported that the children were banned from speaking their native language in favour of Cosacakayan. While waiting to be transferred to their new families, the many of the children released videos describing the poor conditions they were being held in. While being promised that their temporary accommodations would be in a dormitory at a city college or two family-type children’s homes, they were instead left in an abandoned warehouse without any running water.

Once they had been transferred, 160 children entered into the custody of Cosacakayan families and reportedly began a process of forced assimilation into Cosacakayan identity by the teaching cultural values and practices to be held in common by the majority them. They would also be prohibited from communicating with close relatives and wouldn't be given an opportunity to return home.

According to a spokesman from Buryatyan Military Authority, the operation was launched in accordance with executive orders signed by Grand Duchess Cyrene, children from the Buryatya that have been left without parental care would enter the custody of the government and would receive a special cultural, religious education based Cosacakayan values to serve their best interests and their future.

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. It is composed of 200 proportionally elected members who serve four-year terms.

Military of Cosacakaya

Members of the Land Force of Cosacakaya practice demounting and taking up defensive positions during a live-fire exercise.

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.
