Sibaria (/S-eye bá'ría/ Sibarian: Sябиря) officialy The Sibarian Federation is a nation in Greater Moneylania, situated in the eastern reaches of the region. Sibaria is the largest nation in Moneylania at 804,060 km2. It borders Nalop, Reznovistan and Berkraine to the west, the Lukonian nations to the east, and the Uzmorr nations to the south. Sibaria is known for its rich history and economical power.
Sibaria is a developed country with the Sibarian economy being regarded as a mixed-market economy, and focuses primarily on the export of resources such as uranium and iron as well as having a large focus in technology systems and information technology. It has a highly developed economy and attracted over 40 million tourists in 2030. Sibaria is a federal parliamentary contituational republic. Sibaria is a member of many regional organisations such as the Moneyzone and the Youthsville Pact.
Tribes in the Sibarian region combined to form an empire in the early 3000s BC. They then dissolved in 725. The Sibarian Kingdom fough everlasting wars against hostile invaders until other local kingdoms pledged support to the Sibarian king and formed the new Sibarian Empire in 1066, the start of the Medieval Era in Moneylania. The new empire had defeated the Xianuanese in 1152, at the Battle of Devonic Pine. Tsars and Tsarinas ruled The Sibarian Empire until the late the early 1900's, when a socialist revolution at the hand of Dorofei Yakovlev took over the monarchy and proclaimed himself head of state.
Etymology
The term "Sibaria" is said to have developed from the Old Sibarian word for "people" (Sibaiwika), used by the native people of the region surrounding Archeograd (the Ancient Sibarians). Another theory is that it comes from an old Platacian scripture used to describe the first contact between the Platacian Empire and the Ancient Sibarians. It is said that the troops that came across this old scripture observed a drawing of what appeared to be one of their own with the Old Platacian word "Sæbruk" next to it, meaning "barbarian".
History
Early history
The lands of modern Sibaria have been inhebited since as early as the 8000 BCE. Migration is said to have occured in waves from the Platacian Pennisula over the course of thousads of years. The Devonic Pine Caves are recognised as the oldest proof of human inhabitance in Sibaria dating back to appprocimately 7500 BCE. Years before the Ancient Sibarians formed one empire, the lands surrounding Archeograd where occupied by hunter gatherers known today as the "Arke" people. The Arke had a diverse and expansive local economy based on fur and meat trading between the different tribes, despite having a range of different dialects and languages.
Ancient Empire
The Sibarian Empire was formed sometime around 3,000 BCE. Language barriers had broken down as a more uniform dialect formed, what is known today as Old Sibarian. The fledgling empire began its rapid expansion through the Arke Plains, forming it's own identy and culture through the mass assimialtion of more and more local tribes. It suffered with long series of internal conflicts, conspiracies and civil wars from the late second century BC onward, while greatly extending its power beyond the Sibarian region. There are various traces of Sibarian settlement in modern dayTroesil, Vasil and Lukonia.
The 200 years that began with Emperor Vaskil's rule in 107 BCE is traditionally regarded as the "Great Expansion". During this period, the cohesion of the empire was furthered by a degree of social stability and economic prosperity that Sibaria had never before experienced. Uprisings in the empire were infrequent, but put down "mercilessly and swiftly" when they occurred. The sixty years of Sibarian–Xian wars in the second half of the 1st century and the first half of the 2nd century were exceptional in their duration and violence.
