Balkovaria, officially recognized as the Tsardom of Balkovaria, is a modest nation situated in central Oman, sharing borders with Berat to the Southeast, Moravia to the Northeast, Icaria to the West, and Badnaj to the North. Boasting a population of 1.2 million, Iliri has risen as the capital city, strategically positioned along the Green Sea Canal. In its earlier days, Iliri thrived as a trade city under the governance of The Order of Soviet Socialist Republics, shaping its cultural and economic identity. Other significant urban centers within Balkovaria include Krala, Sova, and Litny.
The year 1992 marked a significant turning point for Balkovaria when Allied forces liberated the nation following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Local governance took root, leading to the establishment of Balkovaria as a democratic republic. The Social Liberal Party of Balkovaria assumed the role of catalyst, electing the nation's first Prime Minister and instituting triennial elections.
Post the Prime Minister's election, an intriguing scenario unfolded. Rejecting overtures from Monarchist sympathizers, the Prime Minister declined to invite back the former Balkovarian Royal Family, maintaining a commitment to democratic principles. Balkovaria, amidst political and military tensions in the Central Oman region, adopted a neutral stance, embracing isolationism and prioritizing national reconstruction.
In 1994, a financial crisis rocked Balkovaria, triggering widespread unrest among democratic and monarchist supporters. To cope with the economic downturn, military spending was drastically reduced by 65 to 70%. Fueled by nationwide discontent, high-ranking military officials executed a coup d'état in Iliri, ousting democratic leaders and imposing Martial Law nationwide. The coup leaders, in deliberation, decided to reinstate the Balkovian Royal Family, placing Zheko Danielov Alexov II on the throne as Tsar.
Zheko Danielov Alexov II succeeded his father, Tsar Zheko I, who had abdicated the throne in 2020 due to age. Tsar Zheko I still resides, and Zheko Danielov Alexov II continues to rule as Tsar Zheko II, navigating the complexities of Balkovaria's history and governance.
