Sulatia (Sarvalian: Kuljemaa), officially the Republic of Sulatia (Sarvalian: Kuljemaan tasavalta) is a sovereign, unitary parliamentary directorial republic located in East Auressia. The nation borders, from clockwise, X, Y, and Z.

The area of Sulatia has been inhabited since roughly 60,000 BP. Bronze working was introduced ca. 3000 BCE with several cultures, most notably the Kaarre culture, arising during this time. The cultural continuity of the Kaarre continued into the 1st millennium BCE with the transition to the Iron Age believed to occur between the 300s and 100s BCE. The Iron Age saw a transition from pastoralism to nomadism, with the culture spectrum of Keranic groups being collectively referred to as Iron Age Nomads. Migration eastwards culminated in the Sulatian conquest of Teno River basin over the course of the 8th century CE, and is largely considered by both archareologists and historiographers to be the end of the Keranic Iron Age.

The settlement of the Teno river basin saw the semi-nomadic tribal alliance of Sarvalians, Jatilians, and Lamalians transition to a pastoral life style and, together with the Vogarians who had settled the region sometime during the 4th century CE, formed the Duchy of Sulatia. The duchy was a loose confederation of the settled Keranic tribes, and various warlords ruled as semi-independent polities. The lands of Sulatia were finally united under Kaarloman I, and, in 1280, was crowned as Grand Duke. The proceeding centuries saw Sulatia expand southwards, incorporating various Isaric and !Slavic polities in what is termed Pohjanasettava. By the 17th century, Sulatia reached its territorial height, incorporating parts of Tyrnica, X, and Y. This territory was gradually eroded as a result of the [War] and [Second War] fought against X and Y. Inspired by the Rythenean Revolution of 1790, republican revolutionaries toppled the monarchy, and by 1801, had instituted a republican form of government.

The era of the First Republic of Sulatia was marked by the implementation of authoritarian measures carried out by the Popular Tribunal in efforts to effectively quash royalist sentiment. Additionally, the nation found itself at war with its neighbors in an attempt to spread republicanism. While Sulatia was defeated in these wars, the opposing powers failed to manage a total defeat of the nation, and its republican government managed to survive into the post-war years. In 1874, Erkkilä Toivo was elected as President of the Popular Tribunal and began a policy of normalization with the other Auressian states. The outbreak of the Great War saw Sulatia emerge as one of the victorious powers, however the nation was never fully able to reap the benefits of victory. Economic and social strife caused by the war saw a second revolution occur, with the Second Republic of Sulatia being proclaimed in 1916. The new national convention passed several reforms aimed at wealth equality, workers' self-management, and social ownership of property. Despite its adoption of many socialist ideas and theories, Sulatia does not claim to be a socialist state.

Politically, the nation is officially a unitary directorial republic. The Eduskunta, the nation's legislature, enjoys legislative supremacy as the primary representative of the people, from whom sovereign power is derived. The 7-member Committee of Public Safety acts as the collective head of state and of government and is chosen for 4 year terms by the Eduskunta. While the entire committee is responsible, each member oversees one of several of executive directories. The President of the Committee of Public Safety is the head of the committee, and is elected by the committee itself. Unlike other nations, the President of the Committee is not the head of state nor head of government, with the role being for administrative purposes as the president chairs meetings of the committee. Likewise, the position of State Secretary is purely technocratic in its nature, and is also appointed by the Eduskunta. One political party exists, the League of Workers and Farmers, although several internal factions exist within it and are effectively political parties in their own right.

Largely considered to be a middle power, Sulatia boasts considerable soft power as its status as the preeminent left-wing nation. It consistently ranks highly in economic equality, workers' rights, and other socioeconomic issues. The nation is categorized as post-industrial with a very high standard of living. The national economy is unique for embracing Marxist and socialist economic ideas and theories. It is characterized by the complete absence of private ownership of businesses, with syndicalist, workers' self-management, public ownership, and community ownership serving as its replacement.

Etymology

The pre-Keranic name for Sulatia is Remosia and is believed to ultimately derive from the Proto-Indo-Auressian root werbh- meaning "to turn, twist, bend." The name was given to the area by !Greeks and is first referenced in the 4th century BCE when the geographer Kleisthenes had the area labelled as such. The !Greek name for the area was Rhemosion (Ρεμοσιον), later Sabarinized as Remosia, and is believed to originate from the aforementioned Proto-Indo-Auressian root. Modern scholars have cited the Teno river and its tributaries as being the cause for the name.

The Rythenean name for the country, Sulatia , first appeared in the 14th century and is a direct transcription of the Sabarine name for the area, Sulatia. Sulatia itself is a Sabarinization of the Sarvalian Suulahti. The word Suulahti is an agglutination of the Sarvalian words suu and lahti and roughly translates to "the mouth of the bay" or "mouth of the gulf," and refers to the nation's location on the [Gulf]. This differs from the endonym of the country, Kuljemaa, a compound of the Proto-Keranic kulke and mëxe. The compound can be translated to as "land [I] walked to."

Politics

Sulatia is officially a unitary republic with a directorial style of government. The nation combines traditional parliamentary representative democracy with socialist and syndicalist direct democracy. Despite the nation's extensive use of council democracy, Sulatia is not officially socialist nor syndicalist. There is no singular head of state or head of government. Instead the 7-member Committee of Public Safety serves as the collective head of state and head of government. The head of the committee, known as the President of the Committee of Public Safety, or simply "president," performs the roles of a traditional head of state for international purposes when necessary. The Committee of Public Safety is chosen by the Eduskunta for four-year terms, with no term limits. In addition to their roles as members of the committee, each individual minister oversees one of several executive directories. The state secretary also falls under the jurisdiction of the executive. The position is strictly technocratic and holds no real political power.

The nation's legislature, the Eduskunta, holds legislative supremacy and is the basis from which all government institutions derive their power. This is because of the nation's usage of council democracy and the belief that sovereign power is derived from the citizenry, which the Eduskunta is the primary representative of. The legislature is unicameral and is composed of 643 seats. 443 of these seats are elected directly through direct election and 200 seats indirectly elected through labor syndicates, trade unions, and the military via soldiers' councils. Additionally, the Eduskunta functions as the nation's constitutional supreme court, and the constitutionality of laws is verified by a vote. A special Constitutional Law Directorate exists, however, and in practice functions as a constitutional supreme court.

Only one party exists within the nation, the League of Workers and Farmers. However, several political groups exist within the party themselves and can largely be considered to be political parties in their own right. The largest of these groups include: Radicalists, Reformists, Totalists, and Internationalists. The current government is a coalition of Radicalists, Internationalists, and Autonomists. The current President of the Committee of Public Safety is Hyvärinen Ilmari and the current State Secretary is Isometsä Aliisa.

Government

The Committee of Public Safety constitutes the national government, directs the national administration of the state, and serves as the collective head of state. The committee is a collegial body composed of 7 members appointed by the Eduskunta for 4-years, with the ability to be re-appointed ad infinitum so long as they hold a seat in the Eduskunta. While the committee as a whole serves as the collective head of government, each individual member is the head of one of the seven executive directories. These directories are: State Commissariat of the Environment and Infrastructure, State Commissariat of Internal Affairs, State Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, State Commissariat of Finance and Economic Affairs, State Commissariat of Education, Women and Minority Rights, and Sport, State Commissariat of Defense and Civil Protection, and the State Commissariat of Justice.

Each committee member heads a government department, much like the ministers in the governments of other countries. Colloquially, committee members are referred to by the department they head, i.e: the head of the State Commissariat of Justice being referred to as the "People's Commissar of Justice" although no post officially exists. In addition to their own departments, committee ministers are responsible for the running of the other departments, and the conduct of the state government and national administration as well.

Decisions taken to vote before the committee are the responsibility of the department that it relates to. For example, the ability to issue sanctions or similar diplomatic protests against a country would be proposed by the head of the State Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. Prior to votes, however, written proposals are distributed to all members of the committee. These are written by the senior professional official of their departments, most of the time the professional heads of the various offices that make up each departments. These proposals are circulated to the other committee heads, who then task their own senior officials to prepare written responses to the proposal, offering criticism and improvements to the original proposal as appropriate. Votes are formally taken by voice vote, although the committee primarily operates through consensus decision-making.

The Committee of Public Security operates through weekly meetings, held typically on Friday in the executive capital of Varppe. In addition to the seven sitting committee members, the state secretary, Responsible Secretary of the League of Workers and Farmers, and the President of the Eduskunta attend the weekly meetings. These attendees do not vote in the decision making process of the committee itself, but are allowed to participate in the discussion. Nonetheless, their influence over the committee, particularly the responsible secretary's, have led to them being unofficially referred to as the eighth, ninth, and tenth members of the committee respectively.

The head of the committee is the President of the Committee of Public Safety. Unlike the committee itself, the position of president is chosen by members of the committee among themselves. The president serves for the entire 4 years that the committee is in session for. The position is primus inter pares with the other members of the committee. Nonetheless, the president is considered to be the highest ranking Sulatian official within the apparatus of the state and performs representative duties that are considered the business of the head of state in other countries. In the scope of the function of the committee, the president has no power above and beyond that of the six other members, aside from presiding over meetings of the committee. In urgent situations where a committee decision cannot be made in time, the president has the ability to act on behalf of the committee.

Legislature

Plenary chamber of the Eduskunta.

The National Convention of Sulatia (Eduskunta) is the unicameral legislative body of Sulatia. It is composed of 643 total seats, with 443 being elected through direct voting and 200 being indirectly elected through labor syndicates, trade unions, and soldiers' councils. Elected members of the Eduskunta, called councilors, serve for 4 year terms and can be re-elected ad infinitum.

Elections for the Eduskunta are held on the third Thursday of January. The Committee of Public Safety has the ability to call for early elections unilaterally. This is a change from the original constitution, which required the approval from the President of the National Convention and a majority of the members of the convention had to vote in favor.

443 seats are up for direct election every four years. Candidates are elected through first-past-the-post voting for a period of four years. The remaining 200 seats are indirectly elected through trade unions, labor syndicates, and soldiers' councils for a period of four years. The indirectly elected seats are limited on what they can and cannot vote on. Barring a call for an early election, elections are held on the third Thursday of January.

Every citizen who is or will be at least 16-years-old on the date of the election is allowed to vote in general elections. There is no requirement to register to vote and citizens must only show a valid form of I.D to vote in general elections. Additionally, any Sulatian citizen at least 18-years-old, and is not an active-serving member of the Sulatian military, may stand as a candidate for the Eduskunta. These candidates must be endorsed by a sufficient number of voters through support cards in order to be placed on the ballot and stand for election.

The primary function of the Eduskunta is to change the country's laws, and to amend the constitution (which requires a majority of two-thirds). In addition to these key powers, the constitution grants to the Eduskunta extensive legislative powers and substantial control over the budget, the right to authorize the government to raise taxes and grant loans, the power to ratify treaties and other kinds of international agreements, and the duty to approve or reject decisions by the Committee of Public Safety.

Judiciary and law

The Sulatian judicial system is based on civil law codified through the Siviilisäännöskokoelma which was adopted in 1802. Among the first civil law codices adopted in Auressia, the Siviilisäännöskokoelma was instrumental in the modernizing and defeudalizing Sulatia. The nation's constitution guarantees a trial within a reasonable time period. All criminal cases are done via jury trials, where the jury is selected from one's peers. Corporate crimes, land disputes, and familial disputes are done via bench trial.

The maximum penalty that can be enacted by the law is the death penalty. Life sentences are not handed out. The death penalty is often used for only the most heinous of crimes, including but not limited to treason, murder, and espionage and seditious acts. Historically, outlawry was used to carry out the death sentence but since the 19th century this has shifted to lethal injection. The last state execution committed by Sulatia was in 1936 following a failed assassination attempt at then President of the Committee of Public Safety Kivelä Paavo. Because of this, there is not a strong anti-capital punishment movement within the state and prosecutors rarely, if ever, propose capital punishment as the punishment in criminal cases.

The nation does not have a judicial branch in the traditional sense, however the Constitutional Law Directorate and the State Commissariat of Justice and its subsequent constituents, fulfill the role of a traditional judiciary. Much like a supreme court in other nations, the Constitutional Law Directorate takes cases that impact the state as a whole. In addition to this duty, the directorate possesses the power of judicial review. It is made up of one state director and six judges, who are appointed by the Eduskunta following each national election.

Beneath the State Commissariat of Justice are district courts and corresponding appellate courts, which handle civil and criminal cases and appeals respectively. District courts are headed by a chief magistrate and can be assisted by up to three other magistrates depending on the severity of the case. Simple cases such as applying for a divorce may be handled by notaries or trained office staff. Appeals for rulings are viewed and handled by an Appellate Court, located in each administrative capital. The appellate court consists of a chief magistrate and a number of lay judges.

Law enforcement is handled by People's Protection Service which are analogous to the national police services of other nations and are themselves an agency under the State Commissariat of Internal Affairs. The People's Protection Service is divided into the National Police Board headquartered in Karvistonpuoli, a national unit, and 10 municipal units. Both the national and municipal units are referred to as People's Protection Units. Each people's protection unit is divided between uniformed officers and investigative police who carry out the necessary policing functions.

The function of the People's Protection Units is to provide a full spectrum of police services, ranging from patrols and investigations to issuing documents such as passports and ID cards. More specialized and important functions, such as border and airport security, are provided by the Customs Police, an agency under the State Commissariat of Foreign Affairs.

Preservation of national waters falls under the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard, an agency of the State Commissariat of Defense and Civil Protection. In times of war, the Coast Guard is placed under the command the National Revolutionary Navy.

The correctional system of Sulatia is focused principally on rehabilitation and training of the convicted rather than punishment, having undergone numerous incremental changes since the First Republican revolution. The recidivism rate of criminals in Sulatia was approximately 34% in 2020.

Foreign relations

As a de facto socialist state, Sulatia is considered to be the primus inter pares of the global socialist movement. The nation is a founding member of [Socialist Org 1] and [Socialist Org 2], while the League of Workers and Peasants is a founder and active participant in International Association of Communist Parties on behalf of the country. Aside from socialist organizations, Sulatia is a founder of the Auressian Community, [United Nations], and is an observer of the Commonwealth of Northern Auressia, the [IMF], and other trade organizations. The foreign affairs of the nation are handled collectively by both the Committee of Public Safety as a whole and the State Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. The current Commissar of Foreign Affairs is Hyvärinen Ilmari, who concurrently serves as President of the Committee of Public Safety.

Sulatia maintains special diplomatic relations with its fellow socialist republics of Tirmon and Wallena, which are referred to almost explicitly as "sister republics" (sisar tasavallat) in state media and correspondence. These three nations cooperate extensively on military, economic, scientific, diplomatic, and cultural matters. Through various bilateral treaties, known as "friendship treaties" (ystävyyssopimukset), Sulatia and its sister republics exert considerable influence on the socialist world.

Outside of the socialist world, Sulatia maintains warm relations with member states of the Commonwealth of Northern Auressia which Sulatia is an observer of. It and the members of the Commonwealth cooperate on numerous issues, including the promotion of human rights and civil liberties across the rest of the world. While Sulatia has flirted with becoming a permanent member of the Commonwealth in the past, the nation has begun to distance itself from the Commonwealth under the Hyvärinen Presidency.

Following the First Great War, Sulatia has historically operated its foreign affairs under the auspices of armed neutrality. The rise of the faction system following the end of democratic centralism in 1944 has seen a gradual shift from this to a more generalized pro-socialism, pro-democracy, and pro-worker platform. This has been exasperated with the emergence of the Internationalists in the late-1990s, who advocate for the broad "exportation" of socialism either peacefully or through force. Following the victory of the Internationalists in the 2012 election, which saw five of the seven seats of the Committee of Public Safety being awarded to them, Sulatia has become a vocal opponent of both Albrennia and Songha, and to a lesser extent, other nations and organizations that are deemed to be "harmful" to the socialist cause. "Armed neutrality" was abandoned entirely by 2016 when the country began heavy economic and military investment across Idica and Surucia in order to actively combat Albrennian and Songhese influence in the regions.

Military

The National Revolutionary Army (Kansallinen Vallankumouksellinenarmeija - KVA) is the chief military force of Sulatia. It is collectively made up of the Ground Forces (Maavoimat), Navy (Taistelulaivasto), and Air Force (Ilmavoimat). The border guard (Rajavartiolaitos) is under the jurisdiction of the State Commissariat of Interal Affairs but can be transferred to the National Revolutionary Army during times of war. The military is under the command of the National Defense Council, itself under the command of the Chief of Defense, and is appointed by the Eduskunta at the recommendation of the State Commissariat Defense and Civil Protection. The Chief of Defense is subordinate only to the Committee of Public Safety and serves as an advisor for the Committee on issues regarding to national security. The Chief of Defense holds the position until they retire from the military, however theoretically the Committee may remove them from office as they see fit although this has never happened in practice. The current Chief of Defense is General Sihvo Sakari, who has held the position since August, 2016.

The KVA consists of a professional core of soldiers, mostly officers and technicians, conscripted non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel, and a large reservist pool made up of former conscripts that have completed their service requirements. Universal conscription is practiced and most citizens are drafted into the military after they graduate from secondary school at the age of 18. Men serve for 18 months after completing basic training while women server for 12 months. Following mandatory service, both men and women are placed into reserve forces, where they complete up to 4 weeks of reserve duty per year. Men are in the reserve forces until they're 40-years-old while women are placed in the reserves until their 30th birthday. Conscientious objectors are offered non-combat positions or are given the choice to serve in volunteer positions in schools, hospitals, or other social welfare services. Through it's national service program, the National Revolutionary Army maintains approximately 584,230 active-duty personnel and approximately 1,662,809 personnel in reserves. This gives Sulatia one of the highest percentages of civilians with military training in the world.

Sulatian defense expenditure is one of the highest in the world per capita and military spending is estimated to be $32.94 billion, or 2.7% of the national GDP, by international analysts. The country is ranked 3rd globally by arms exports. In 2000, Sulatia signed a memorandum of understanding with fellow socialist states Tirmon and Wallena, and actively engages in military technology sharing with the two other countries. Additionally, the KVA actively maintains military bases in both countries.

As of 2021, the KVA is actively deployed in [Idica nation] and [Idica nation] as part of on-going peacekeeping operations.

Music

The Willman Elvira Arena is Sulatia's largest concert venue.

In the present, the nation is the world's fourth-largest music exporter, surpassed only by Tyrnica, Albrennia, and X. The pop band Radio Mischief is considered by many the first to gain international exposure and is widely credited with bringing Sulatian pop music to the international market.

Sulatia has multiple music traditions. Traditional music, a genre known as iskelmä, is, to an extent, a genre comparable to the Blaykish chanson and Tyrnican Schlager. This genre is known for having simple melody and rhythm with a straightforward structure of couplets and refrains. Traditional musical instruments include trumpets, simple string instruments, wooden flutes and drums, and are a staple of traditional music. In recent years, many folk artists have added guitars and synthesizers.

The 1960s saw a revival in folk music, producing a vibrant scene of modern folk. Artists such as Erkkilä Ismo, Kuusi Martin, and Ranta Aada are considered pioneers for their work in developing the Sulatian folk rock genres. Since the turn of the millennium, some contemporary pop artists have drawn from the traditional folk music and incorporating elements of modern electronica, pop, and rock in a new genre known as neofolk.

Major Sulatian music festivals include: Emerald Beach Music Festival, Kovio Jazz Festival, in Kovio, and the Summer Sun Rock Festival in Tiilää.

Väänänen Paavo, ArorA, and Kyöstilä Ülo are three popular Sulatian DJs with international following.

Contemporary Sulatian rock and pop music originated in the 1960s, influenced by music from Tyrnica and Albrennia. Lyrics during this time period were almost exclusively written in Sarvalian, with some tracks also being purely instrumental. Starting in the 1980s, more musicians began working in [Levilion Lingua Franca], partly inspired by the immense success of Radio Mischief. Today most artists work in [Lingua Franca], although Sarvalian and other minority languages have been making a resurgence. Since Radio Mischief, Sulatian musicians have enjoyed prominent international success. The late 1970s and early 1980s gave rise to new wave and synthpop artists, including Äijälä Aleksanteri, Ijäl Jere, and Essi, became widely known in Auressia, and, to a lesser extent, Marceaunia Major and Minor. Modern pop artists like Siiri, Mäki Veera, and Hallamaa Virve continue to be successful internationally, while new wave and post-punk have influenced the alternative rock scene, exemplified by bands such as Resignation Party and Trinity.

Emerald Beach Music Festival is the world's largest electronic music festival.

Sulatia is considered by many to be a pioneer in electronic dance music (EDM), with many "traditional" Sulatian styles to become widespread across the world in many forms, from trance and techno to gabber and hardstyle. Sulatia boasts as having the most DJs per capita at 28.5 per 100,000 people. Some of the world's best known music DJs come from the country, including Iivari Ahti, Väänänen Paavo, Ármin, ArorA, Kyöstilä Ülo, Jaakkola Joosep, and V&V. These DJs also contribute to the world's mainstream pop music, as they frequently collaborate and produce for high-profile international artists. The Emerald Beach Music Festival is the world's largest, by attendance, club festival and is considered by many to be the world's leading and most popular electronic music conference. Other electronic festivals held in Sulatia are the Electric Dance Festival and the Varppe Dance Carnival.

Holidays

Following the First Republican Revolution, the nation underwent substantial cultural shifts as an effective ban on religion was in place as a result of the implementation of a separation of church and state. Additionally, the Perendist calendar was replaced with the Republican calendar. This drastically altered the celebrated and observed holidays across the country as a process of deperendinization occurred. Religious holidays were entirely replaced with civil, secular holidays that are used to promote republican norms and values among the population.

Sulatian holidays are not called holidays outright, but are merely referred to as national festivals in the constitution. Local governments are encouraged to hold localized festivals to further the sentiment of the community. These festivals are intended to be on held on the 10th day of the week in the Revolutionary Calendar. This originates from the deperendinization of Sulatia in the immediate aftermath of the revolution, and is intended to replace Sunday worship. As a result, there are an estimated 400 different localized festivals that are recognized as holidays by municipal governments.
