Svetvostok, officially the Republic of Svetvostok (Республика Светвосток / 스베트보스토크 공화국) is a country located in the North Hiakemirian Region of Esvanovia, bordering the Federation of Atkemri to its east, Sombreland to its west.

Svetvostok was formed by the settlement of indigenous peoples who had lived there for hundreds of thousands of years, and migrants who had relatively recently migrated from the east. After the monarchy voluntarily dissolved in the early 1900s, a republic was adopted in Svetvostok, but after a military coup led by some generals in 1972, Svetvostok was ruled by a military regime until 2002. The military regime dominated politics in Svetvostok for 30 years, until it was overthrown by a nationwide resistance movement.

Today, Svetvostok is regarded as an example of democracy successfully established. Mutual checks are in place between the executive, legislative, and judiciary, and the political rights of the people are considered sacred. However, corruption in the aftermath of the 30-year-long military regime is still an important issue in society.

Military

Svetvostok is a country with 563,200 active forces and 1,025,300 reserve forces. Svetvostok has adopted conscription since the days of the military regime, which is still in place when a democratic government is in place. Adult men and women over the age of 18 who have passed relatively strict physical and psychological tests are required to serve in the military for two years, and active-duty soldiers are put on the reserve for two years after being discharged. The existence of the conscription system, which can be considered the remnants of the military regime, has caused considerable controversy within Svetvostok, but due to the unstable international situation, the majority of public opinion is in favor of the conscription system.

Svetvostok adopts a defense strategy centered on the Army. More than half of all troops are in the Army, and the Navy and Air Force prioritize the qualitative aspect over the quantitative aspect.

Svetvostok has 500 strategic and tactical nuclear weapons. However, Svetvostok's nuclear strategy is considered more defensive than other countries because it has adopted a 'no preemptive use of nuclear weapons' bill.
