Sivathra, officially, the Commonwealth of Sivathra (Sivathran: Śivatrada kāmanvelt orಶಿವತ್ರದ ಕಾಮನ್ವೆಲ್ತ್), is a sovereign nation located in Satria. It is bordered on the east solely by Subarna, although it shares maritime borders with Baekjong and Senria on the Bay of Bashurat. Its capital _ is where the majority of the population is concentrated.
The Sivathran territory has been continuously inhabited for centuries, with findings evidencing the first settlements around 4,500 BCE; prior to this time, farming and an initial domestication of cattle is documented together with initial migrations from other Satrian regions, from which religion and initial forms of Sivathran script were developed, slightly coming to their actual form around 1200 BCE. Along with this, early forms of commerce and exchanges with other groups brought the evolve of religious beliefs and the first political unities, which grew along the south coast and saw the introduction of literature, technology and other general knowledge. With the time, inner regions of Sivathra organised themselves around agricultural petty kingdoms while along the coasts, other cities-states grew with commerce as a leading activity. From the contact with other kingdoms and the alliances to protect ports and farmlands, larger political units were formed until the Mandavya Empire took over most of the territory. This period saw an enormous advance in the arts, mathematics and poetry; most regions of the empire developed forms of direct democracy and findings have led to historians to believe that the population lived with prosperity.
The period of the Mandavya Empire concluded when external attacks made use of a lack of defensive protection, slowly damaging the imperial structure, which experienced an enormous debilitation during the early Middle Ages; this last period saw the introduction of Badi and Irfan, and left a legacy of artistic beauty and architecture, which were later took up by the Sivathran Empire, which expanded the use of the name Sivathra for the territory. Periods of relative stability were followed by internal clashes as local elites fought to gain power in more lands. Due to its location, the early commerce of tea and spices and the exchange of knowledge increased the relations with Euclean nations, which pushed the kingdom to sign treaties in unfavourable conditions. With the gradual takeover of territory from merchant companies, the structures of the kingdom fell under the colonial rule of Estmere, which lasted until the period prior to the Great War. During the international conflict, the difficult situation of the Estmerish crown propitiated several forms of anti-colonialist movements that emerged channelling general discontent. The struggle for independence was marked by the Entente backed groups; however, these found themselves with the rise of nationalist ideas, marking a halt in the relations with Ajahadya and a debilitation of their forces, which were defeated by the later called National People’s Party that granted the establishment of Sivathra, which has propitiated extensive relations with COMSED nations and Estmere.
Since independence, Sivathra has been governed mostly by the National People’s Party, with few interruptions of the Sivathrian National Front and the Democratic Action Parties. The first years of the Commonwealth were marked by the NPP governments, an authoritarian rule and the conflicts derived from the Satrian Wars. During the late 1970s crisis, the country saw the first change of party in government with the assumption of the Sivathrian National Front, which managed to sort out the financial difficulties making use of development plans. During the 1980s and 90s, Sivathra saw the rise of the first neoliberal policies. Today, the country is often recognised as a newly industrialised economy, which added to strong development and liberal policies, have resulted in a recent expansion of the quality of life and the international recognition of Sivathra; however, social inequalities and degrees of authoritarism are persistant issues to be faced.
Sivathra is a Unitary parliamentary republic and keeps an inherited Northabbey system on the Parliament, although it has severely reformed throughout the history to make it an unicameral legislature. The country keeps an active role on its international relations, with peackeepers deployed in conflictive zones and being an active or observer member of several international organisations, such as the Community of Nations, COMSED, GIFA, ICD and ITO.
History
Early period
Mandavya Empire
Sivathran rule
Estmerish colonisation
Although historians agree in 1720s as a frame date to introduce Euclean contact in Sivathra and the rest of the Satrian region, there are records that show earlier contact between northern Sivathran petty kingdoms and Euclean merchants. Although Euclean presence remained motivated purely by commercial interests during the early colonial times, the arrival of _, an Estmerish merchant, marked a start for the posterior Estmerish dominance over the Sivathran peninsula, overtaking most ports and forts owned by other Euclean crowns.
