Balkovaria, officially known as the Tsardom of Balkovaria, stands as a modest nation situated in the heart of Oman. Bordered by Berat to the Southeast, Moravia to the Northeast, Icaria to the West, and Badnaj to the North, the nation has carved its identity in the Central Oman region. With a population of 2.3 million, Balkovaria's capital, Iliri, strategically positioned along the Green Sea Canal, has become a symbol of the nation's cultural and economic prowess. Other urban centers that contribute to Balkovaria's vibrancy include Krala, Sova, and Litny.
The former capital before Soviet occupation being Sova houses an estimated 1.4 thousand residents and was the largest at the time. Due to the construction of the Green Sea Canal by the Soviet Order, Iliri became a major trade port and city during the times and was home to 4 Riverine Patrol boats to monitor the canal crossing into the Great Lakes of the region. These boats make up most of the Balkovarian Navy, being the staple and pride of the Balkovarian Fleet
Pre Soviet Order Occupation ( - 1953)
Liberation and the Democratic Dawn (1992-1994)
The year 1992 marked a pivotal moment in Balkovaria's history when Allied forces liberated the nation after the collapse of the Soviet Order. The demise of external dominance paved the way for local governance, leading to the establishment of Balkovaria as a democratic republic. The emergence of the Social Liberal Party of Balkovaria played a crucial role, electing the nation's first Prime Minister and introducing triennial elections.
Following the Prime Minister's election, Balkovaria faced a unique challenge. Despite overtures from Monarchist sympathizers, the Prime Minister stood firm in rejecting the return of the former Balkovarian Royal Family, underscoring a commitment to democratic principles. Against the backdrop of political and military tensions in Central Oman, Balkovaria embraced a neutral stance, adopting isolationism while channeling efforts into national reconstruction.
The Financial Crisis and the Monarchist Turn (1994-2020)
In 1994, a financial crisis gripped Balkovaria, sparking unrest among democratic and monarchist supporters. To address the economic downturn, military spending underwent a significant reduction of 65 to 70%. Fueled by discontent, high-ranking military officials orchestrated a coup d'état in Iliri, removing democratic leaders and imposing Martial Law nationwide.
During deliberations, the coup leaders opted to reinstate the Balkovian Royal Family. Zheko Danielov Alexov II ascended the throne as Tsar, succeeding his father, Tsar Zheko I, who had abdicated in 2020 due to age. Despite these changes, Tsar Zheko II continues to navigate the intricate history and governance of Balkovaria, shaping the nation's destiny.
