The Republic of Sebrenskija, commonly referred to as Sebrenskiya, is a country comprised of 11 republics. It is the 50th largest country by land mass, and with a population of 57,055,201 people, is the 19th largest country in the world by population. The capital and largest city is the also the capital of Sebrenskiya, the city of Pančevo. It is bordered to the North by Letnia and Vihoslavia, bordered to the south by Ostland, and to the west by Sieuxerr and Reberiya. The entire country is contiguous, and is encompassed in a single time zone.
Slavic migrants moved into the area of Sebrenskiya around 1,200 years ago, and fought with various Eisen tribes for control. These tribes eventually took control and began to form kingdoms. Sebrenskiya is considered to be the direct successor to the Kingdom of Pancevo, which was one of the first significant organized country by Slavic rule. For several years, several slavic kingdoms came to rise. Aggressive expansion by the Kingdom of Sebrenskiya continued to expand to near the modern day borders. After a devastating civil war which resulted in the removal of Maldania, Sebrenskiya formed one of the foremost military forces in Central Casaterra. Though Maldania rejoined the Sebrenskiyan Kingdom peacefully, the military might was tested against forces of old Sieuxerr, who invaded Saintonge in order to flee Napoleon rule. Sebrenskiya suffered multiple catastrophic defeats, and lost the territory.
Sebrenskiya emerged into the 19th century battered, humiliated, and on the verge of collapse. Through a series of economic reforms, Sebrenskiya was gearing to be a regional giant and potentially a world power by the 1900s. Invasion by Ostland in the 1880s, however, brought Sebrenskiya's economic growth to a grinding halt, with a significant war which resulted in the total destruction of Southern Sebrenskiya. During the reconstruction process, Sebrenskiya significantly addressed its military concerns. By the 1930s, Sebrenskiya had one of the largest land armies in the region, and by 1940, was preparing to fight Nazist Ostland. In 1942, Sebrenskiya invaded Saintonge, and in 1943, Sebrenskiya invaded Ostland, joining the Pan-Septentrion War. A victorious Sebrenskiya emerged from the war as a powerful regional state, but quickly found itself back in feuds with Ostland over the bordering waterways.
Sebrenskiya is a founding member of the Letnian Commonwealth. It is an upper-middle income economy with a dominant service industry, which is followed by the industrial sector.
Etymology
It is uncertain where the phrase "Sebrenskan" came from to refer to the people of the area of Pancevo, but documents show the people being named that as far back as the 4th century. The Kingdom of Pancevo quickly expanded to take the vast majority of the area controlled by the Sebrenskan people, ejecting their minority-Eisen rulers. Sebrenskija, or The Land of the Sebrenskans, was adopted officially in 903, though evidence exists of the kingdom being referred to as that as far back as the 850s.

Sebrenskiya invaded Saintonge on March 4th, 1942, joining Sieuxerr's march into Saintonge. By 1942, the allies were closing in on all sides, with Ostland faltering in Vihoslavia, Saintonge collapsing against Sieuxerr, and Kerenevoi suffering major defeats in the southern portion of the continent.
Sebrenskiyan troops quickly overran the initial defences in Saintonge. The initial fighting was light, as Sebrenskan forces poured into an unprepared Saintonge. Sebrenskiya performed a double pincer attack against Saintonge, pushing towards Prilep and Travnik at the same time.
After taking travnik, Sebrenskiya pushed and took Novi Pazar.

Government and Politics
President
The Federal President of the Republic of Sebrenskiya is the unelected, appointed leader for life of the Executive Branch, who has the power to veto legislation and produce budget requests. He also has the power to declare a State of Emergency, rendering the legislative branch as a consulting agency and giving the President absolute power. The Parliament has 24 hours to agree to a National Emergency Declaration.
The President is selected by a list of potential leaders updated every two years, submitted to Parliament and approved. Should the president die, the order of the list is gone down, based on either currently eligible, living, and willing to be the President of Sebrenskiya.
Republican Parliament
The National House makes the upper house of the Republican Parliament. It consists of 33 directly elected House Members, who are elected in three cycles (of 11 House Members), every three years. This sets a functional term length of 9 years for House Members, with no term limit.
The National House is responsible for approving budgets, undoing presidential vetos, and declaring war.
The Federal Chamber makes the lower house of the Republican Parliament. It consists of 400 proportionally elected Chambermen who are elected every 3 years. There is a three term term limit.
The Federal Chamber is responsible for proposing fully fleshed budgets, indicting presidential actions (for impeachment, if necessary), judging the constitutionality of laws (before they are passed), and creating laws for the country.
The Parliament must agree to a National Emergency Declaration within 24 hours, with a 60% or higher vote, or the National Emergency Declaration is void.
Law and Criminal Justice
Sebrenskiya has a codified legal system, and was one of the first nations in Casaterra to have a codified system. These codes are published in order that they are signed into law.
Law Enforcement is provided by the Ministry of the Interior. The Sebrenskiyan National Police are the primary law enforcement agency, but in 2017, the Republican Parliament permitted the City of Pancevo to create its own police force. There are any number of "Code Enforcement" agencies, which only look for civil or regulatory violations in respect to republic law. Regulatory violations in regards to national law are still under the jurisdiction of the National Police. Additionally, under the Ministry of Defence, Special Weapons teams exist to capture entrenched criminals.
The National Court is separated into four primary levels and one government regulation level. The lowest level is the Civil Courts, to which violations of republic regulatory code and violation of minor laws are dealt with. Traffic tickets, for example, would come to this court. Additionally, these courts help to provide marriage licenses and other legal affairs. The next level is the National Criminal Court, which is responsible for violations of national law. After this is the National Appeals Court, which is responsible for handling appeals from lower courts. The final court is the Supreme Appeals Court, which is responsible for any additional appeals after the National Appeals Court. This court is capable of striking down laws which violation the National Constitution. There is one Regulatory Court, which is responsible for solving disputes between republics and also between the national government and a republic. In practice, however, it is only used to solve disputes between republics.
Foreign Relations
Sebrenskiya has mostly positive relations globally. Its border dispute with Ostland has forced the nations to not have diplomatic relations.
Sebrenskiya is often described as being "almost" a part of the Entente Cordial, due to its defensive pacts with Kyras and Sieuxerr. Additionally, relations between Sebrenskiya and Idacua are low.
Sebrenskiya supported an international invasion of Vyzvha in 2019, and has been actively critical of Maracaibo and Bakhriya before, during, and following the Bakhriyan Intervention.
Sebrenskiya holds embassies in nearly every country in the world.
Military
The Sebrenskan Armed Forces is operated under the Ministry of Defence, and is comprised of the Sebrenskan National Army, Sebrenskan National Air Guard, and Sebrenskan National Air Force. In 2018, Yugoslovneski defence spending was budgeted for $64.78 billion, or 4.29% of its GDP.
Mandatory conscription was abolished in 2018, and and now Sebrenskiya has 340,000 active frontline troops, 200,000 active reserve troops, and 215,000 passive reserve troops. Sebrenskiya has also been rapidly expanding its armed forces, in order to counter the growing threat from Ostland.
Sebrenskiya maintains mutual defence pacts with every state in the Letnian Commonwealth, Vihoslavia, Sieuxerr and Kyras.

Education
According to 2015 census, Sebrenskiyan's have a literacy rate of 98%, a computer literacy rate of 68%, and a complete computer literacy rate of 48.2%. The same census showed that 18.9% of people had higher education, 48% had secondary education, 20.6% had elementary education, and 12.5% had not yet finished elementary education.
Education in Sebrenskiya is regulated by the Ministry of the Interior, and ALL public education is provided free of cost. Compulsory education is 8 years of elementary school starting at the age of 7, as well as, introduced into law in 2017, four years of secondary school. Pre-schools have not gained much traction in Sebrenskiya, but option-education day cares, similar to pre-schools, are gaining traction as of 2018. After finishing secondary school, students are given the option of vocational education or university. All compulsory education is held in Sebrenskiyan, the official language, but it is also required by national law to teach students the native language of their respective republic. For the four republics, Sebrenska, Novi Sebrenska, Novi Zetenski, and Novi Resenia, whose native language is Sebrenskiyan, they are required to learn one of the other nationally recognized languages, but students are permitted to chose which.
Higher education
Sebrenskiya has 17 universities (11 public with 218 facilities and 6 with 81 facilities). In the 2018/2019 Academic Year, 791,000 Sebrenskiyans attended universities (681,000 in public universities and 110,000 in private universities). Each of the individual republics carries their own university, with the University of Sebrenska being the largest of them all. Additionally, there are three special universities, the University of National Defense, University of Science and Climate, and the University of the Arts. The most notable private university is the University of Novi Pazar, which is the oldest private university in the country.

Energy
Sebrenskiya's energy market is an increasingly diverse mix of fossil fuel, hydroelectric, nuclear, solar, and wind power. In 1975, Sebrenskiya's energy sector was largely dominated by coal power, with only just under a quarter of power being produced from other sources. Now, Sebrenskiya is a net exporter of energy, and fossil fuels, now primarily natural gas, sits at just under 31% of all power used.
For decades, nuclear power played a pivotal role in Sebrenskiya, as the state-owned power company used nuclear reactors to provide lots of cheap power to large customer bases. In addition, Sebrenskiya's export of nuclear power to Menghe and other states provided the ability for the country to continue to have cheap power without budgetary deficits in the state-owned company. As nuclear reactors have incredibly long life spans, as waste reuse reactors fine designs internationally, the country looks to add this to nuclear plants they are intending to replace.
Sebrenskiya's carbon footprint is decreasing and has been since at least 1999. Recent changes include aggressive fuel efficiency standards and laws dedicating all new national highways to be concrete based (removing petroleum, maintenance efforts, and increasing roadway fuel efficiency).
Industry
The industry sector has been allowed to thrive in Sebrenskiya by fact of lower wages than most Casaterran states. In recent years, the Sebrenskiyan economy has begun to transform more rapidly into a form of "service economy", and some industries have seen downsizing. Sebrenskiya has 18 free economic zones as of 2019.
Sebrenskiya's well known automotive company of Yugo Automotive is based in Pancevo, Sebrenskiya, with the vast majority of its Casaterran market being produced there. The country is a leader in Central Casaterra for steel production and mining, as well as heavy equipment and plastics.
Sebrenskiya's food industry is thriving, with it being considered part of the Casterran breadbasket. Additionally, its electronics industry services nearly 90% of domestic demand, and is looking to expand outside of the country. Finally, Sebrenskiya pharmaceutical companies consist of 21 generic manufacturers, to which 80% of production is located in Osijek, Sebrenskiya
Telecommunications
Tourism
Transportation
Personal transportation is dominated by automobiles, which operate on a network of xxx kilomters of public roads, including the Autoput highway system. Sebrenskiya has a medium rate of per-capita vehicle ownership in Septentrion, with 562 vehicles per 1000 Sebrenskiyans. About 45% of personal vehicles are sedans. The average Sebrenskiyan spends about 38 minutes of driving a day over about 41 kilometers. In 2018, there were 32,007,967 personal vehicles, excluding motorycycles and articulated lorries, in use in Sebrenskiya.
Mass transit accounts for 41% of total Sebrenskiyan work trips. Transport of goods by rail is extensive. Bicycle usage for work commutes is minimal.
The civil airline industry is entirely publicly owned, as are all public airports. There are two Sebrenskiyan airlines, there is a state-owned Sebrenskiyan Airlines, primarily used to provide logistics between government branches, and there is a civilian-owned airline company, which is Air Sebrenskiya.
Sebrenskiya uses a Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and is a world leader on traffic safety.
In 2005, Sebrenskiya changed its focus to continuous-flow traffic, leading to a massive increase of roundabouts and protected straightaways.
