Grenesia (Grenesian: Ґрэнэзъя, tr. Grènèzya [grɛnɛzja], officially the Commonwealth of Grenesia, is a country located in Marenesia. It is divided into 14 provinces, covering an area of [B L A N K] square kilometres ([B L A N K] sq mi), and has mostly mediterranean or humid continental climate. Grenesia's capital and largest city is Karlitch. Other major cities include Lubogoshch, Gervazno, Shadz’na, S’vętokhvalki, Shrènitsa and Byala Gran’.

Etymology

The origin of the name "Grenesia" derives from the Yasic tribe of Grenesians (Grènèsi), who inhabited the Drva river basin of present-day Drvanski region starting in the mid-6th century. The origin of the name Grenesians itself is disputed, however many historians claim that it derives from the Proto-Yasic word gorěti (to burn).

History

Origin

The earliest cases of human activity on Grenesian soil date back to 4th century BCE. Genetic and linguistic analysis show that both modern Grenesians and medieval rulers are related to Proto-Yasic tribes. Their first known settlements were primitive huts walled with wooden palisade, some surrounded by a moat or built on islands. The Yasic peoples on Marenesia dealt not only with hunting and gathering, but also they fished and cultivated land. warring tribes were eventually conquered and dominated by Grènèsi, or 'the tribe of fire' in late 5th century CE, although the first known historical mention of a ruler of Grenesia comes from year 1005, however neither of them mentions his name.

Popiel dynasty

In 1285 CE duke Popiel III officially converted to Catholicism under pressures from Salvia in exchange for mutual truce between the Grenesian tribe the Imperium. According to 14th century chronicler Yan Kolbe, [...]the imperator himself supervises promotion of new faith. Many temples were built in Orligrod and houses of local belief are burned, deemed foul and impure. Following the supposed murder of duke Popiel in 1289, his niece was crowned by emperor Devolante Fabrizi and took the name Yarovit I. He was made to strengthen the new official religion and built not only an archbishopric in Orligrod, but also many parishes, churches, and monasteries. Yarovit II the Conqueror managed to extend the borders of his kingdom to the west and strenghten his influence. In 1453, Grenesia fragmented into several smaller duchies when prince Mats'ko I the Perjurer divided his land among his sons. In 1489, after a number of earlier unsuccessful attempts by regional rulers at uniting the Grenesian dukedoms, Yarovit III Karlitch (his nickname means "son of a dwarf" in Grenesian) from the Suvozhnan branch of the Popiel dynasty took the throne and became the first king of a reunified Grenesia. However, he had to issue a number of privileges for the knightshood in order to consolidate his power. Moreover, Orligrod was burned to the ground during the regional uprising in 1475, so Yarovit Karlitch was forced to move the capital to another city, which was named after him when he died in 1496.

First Commonwealth

Grenesia was developing as a feudal state, and the nobility and the wealthy townsfolk became increasingly powerful. In 1581, most of the legislative power was transferred from the monarch to the Zyazd (parliament), which marked the official transformation of Grenesia from a kingdom to a republic. The head of the state as the king elected from the nobility, but which was governed largely by the nobility itself, through a system of local assemblies with a central parliament. The Karlitch Confederation (1644) guaranteed religious freedom for the Grenesian nobility and townsfolk. However, the peasants were still subject to severe limitations imposed on them by the nobility. From the beginning of the 20th century, the nobles' democracy, suffering from internal disorder, gradually declined, thereby leaving the once powerful Commonwealth vulnerable to foreign intervention or internal coups. Grenesia broke once again, due to peasant uprising initiated by Kzhesimir Skalski in 1783, which led to secession of the duchy of Izyera, as well as general civil unrest in villages, towns and cities all over Grenesia. In 1803 the Grenesian government structures overcame a major overhaul, letting the proletariate particippate in votes and be elected to Zyazd and the Senate.
