Etymology

The etymology of the word "Eastarland" is not exactly known, but there are many versions, none of which has received universal recognition. The root "heas" and its variants "es" and "eis" admit different interpretations both. So, for example, there are consonant toponyms on the territory of Ykanjo "Estyrland"' and San Calia "Istlanau", known from the XI-XII centuries. According to some, the toponym is formed from the ancient name of the river Heasta (Iestàu from east. Heistai "pour"). The feudal principality, through the lands of which this river flowed, eventually took a leading position and the name was extended to the entire state.

History

Geografy

Relief

Ustaš Mountain, Eastarland
Hoaier river, Eastarland

The northern part of Eastarland is a low-lying plain formed during the Ice Age (North Eastarland Plain, lowest point Nahtt Slidas, 6.31 m below sea level). The surface of the lowland has preserved traces of ancient glaciation - chains of low moraine ridges and hills. The western part of the lowland is occupied by swampy lowlands, the formation of which is caused by the subsidence of the platform. In the central part of the country, forest-covered foothills adjoin the lowlands from the south. The highest point is Ustaš Mountain, 3243 m.

Rivers and lakes

A large number of rivers flow through the territory of Eastarland, the largest of which are: Osterkat, Killien, Goder. The largest lake in Eastarland is Gōeldehir, with an area of 1140 km² and a depth of 630 m. The lake is connected by a narrow Astieos strait in the west with the Amber Sea, and in the east with the Stober strait with the Castarilian Bay.

Climate

In general, the climate is temperate, maritime, characterized by cool summers and rather warm winters. The average temperature in July is + 16 ... + 17 ° C, in January - about + 2 ° C on the coast and slightly colder inland. The absolute maximum air temperature (+ 38.6 ° C) was recorded on August 10, 1954 in Drasau, the absolute minimum (−27.4 ° C) was recorded on January 29, 1962 in Litburg. In winter, when anticyclones arrive, the temperature drops below 0 ° C, snow falls, and channels and lakes are covered with ice. Although there is an average of 650 to 750 mm of precipitation per year, rarely a day goes by without rain. There are often fogs, sometimes it snows in winter. Truly extreme natural events (severe droughts, tornadoes, storms, severe frost or heat) are relatively rare.

Catholic Church in Fanuburg

According to the 2011 census, 34.5% of citizens do not identify themselves as belonging to any religion or church. In a 2019 survey, only 27% of respondents said they believe in God, 50% said they believe in some kind of natural or spiritual power, and 30% that they don't believe in any of this. The largest number of believers are Catholics (but only 17.4% of the total population as of 2019), the next largest group is Protestants (6.3%).

Protestant Church in Kuršovsk

According to the amendment to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Eastarland, the Kingdom of Eastarland is a secular state with secular values ​​and views. The church is separated from the state, and the schools from the church. There is also a ban on secondary education in parish schools.

In the Crown Land of Lusivec, the Orthodox Church is extremely widespread among a deeply religious fanatical population. It is the official religion of the region, but is semi-official in the Kingdom, meaning it does not receive any government funding. This led to the fact that over the past 130 years the number of Orthodox churches and cathedrals has decreased from 318 at the time of the annexation of the region, to 72 at the moment.

According to universal law, any kind of discrimination based on affiliation with any religion, incitement to wrongdoing, incitement to hatred, causing physical, psychological or financial harm is prohibited to freedom of religion, and is punishable.

More than 40 million families. 55 out of 100 families own their own houses. Eastarlandic is spoken throughout the country, although a small proportion of the population living in Lusicivec also speaks Lusivecian. Many Eastarlanders are also fluent in English, especially in large cities and young people who are learning English in schools.

With an area of ​​612,097 km², according to data for 2020, Eastarland has a population density of 159.2 people per square kilometer. The most densely populated are 3 western provinces: Lōwien, Zūdderhafen and Braite (the average population density is 440 people / km2 and more; the maximum indicators are observed in urbanized areas - over 600 people / km2). Largely due to this, Eastarland is one of the countries with the most developed transport and information infrastructure. 90.5 million people, or 93% of the country's population, use the Internet. Eastarland had over 10 million fixed telephones and 12.5 million mobile telephones in 2002-2003. More than 320 radio stations and 37 television stations (as well as 31 repeaters) operate in the country.

Ethnically, the population of Eastarland is very mono-ethnic. The largest ethnic minority in Eastarland are the Lusivecians, but of the total population of the country, their number is 4.7%, which is just over 4.5 million people. This nationality is located entirely in the northern Crown Land of Lusivec. The annexation of this region was preceded by a war between the Kingdom of Eastarland and the Principality of Lusivite. However, in the Kingdom they not only do not have a special status, but are also non-citizens (they have a passport of a non-citizen of Eastarland, which deprives them of the right to all political activities, such as creating or joining political parties, voting in elections at any level, participating in referendums).

Language

Eastarlandian state language (self-name - Heastarštates vālstaios runa [əistarʃtates v: alstajos runa]) is one of the East Anterian languages ​​that have survived to this day. The Eastarlandian language is the only official language of the Eastarland, about 104 million people speak Eastarlandian (most of them live in Eastarland).

Divided into two dialects: Upper Eastarlandian, Middle Eastarlandian. The modern literary Eastarlandian language is based on the Middle Eastarlandian dialect.

The first written monuments appeared in the 6th century. The modern Eastarlandian Latin-based alphabet contains 31 letters.

The stress is fixed on the first syllable. By morphological structure, is an inflectional and synthetic language. The syntax is characterized by a relatively free word order, the basic one being the SVO order. The vocabulary is mostly primordial, Germanisms prevail among the borrowings.

Education

Višau, Eastarland's oldest university in Fanuburg

Education in Eastarland is compulsory from 3 to 16 years old. From 2020, studies between the ages of 16 and 18 will be compulsory (this can be education, employment or civil service). The basic principles of Eastarlandian education are: freedom of teaching (public and private institutions), free education, neutrality of education, secularism, non-religious education.
Eastarlandian legislation guarantees its citizens a universal secondary education (school attendance is not a prerequisite, and about 1200 children are homeschooled).

The school year lasts 188 days and the municipalities distribute them independently between the autumn and spring semesters; most often, the first half of the year lasts 89 training days, and the spring - 98. Classes begin in August and end at the end of May. Schools pay attention to ensuring the safety of children and the educational process.

The child goes to the school closest to home, but there is a tendency among parents to send their children to educational institutions that are more prestigious from their point of view. If the school is more than two and a half kilometers away, then according to the law, the student (up to the 6th grade) must be brought back and forth by taxi at the expense of the municipality. The school gives out textbooks and all stationery free of charge and teaches the Eastarlandian language, mathematics, natural science, and home economics. Education in the basics of religion (Protestantism or Catholicism) occurs only with parental consent and in accordance with the religion. Atheists have the right to allow secular ethics to be taught to a child, and if objected, children are exempt from any of the courses. The library shelves are in the hallway and are freely accessible.

Kuršovsk State University

There are no grades in the lower grades; verbal gradation is used: excellent, good, changeable and “training required”. Starting from the 4th grade, grades are put in the range from 4 to 10 points. There are also grades for behavior - the ability to work in a group and alone, good breeding, and the desire to influence others for the better.
From grade 3, the first foreign language is added to the subjects - English. A foreign-speaking child (for example, from an immigrant family) is entitled to learn his native language from the first grade.

In the lower grades, subjects are combined (chemistry with physics and biology, language with literature) and home economics is taught to everyone, regardless of gender. They write a lot in the school: all kinds of essays are designed to teach the child to have his own opinion on each issue and to express it in literary language.

In Eastarland, the Prime Minister is responsible for current domestic and economic policy and has the authority to issue general decrees. He is considered to be responsible for government policy. The Prime Minister directs government activities and enforces laws.

Helena Hoffmann , Prime Minister of Eastarland

The prime minister is appointed by the monarch. The confirmation of his candidacy by the States General is not required, since the Kōninstag has the right to declare a vote of no confidence in the government at any time. Usually the Prime Minister represents the party with the majority of seats in the Köninstag. The Prime Minister draws up a list of ministers in his cabinet and submits it to the Monarch for approval.

The Senate, whose members are elected by indirect universal suffrage, consists of 350 senators. Senators are elected for four-year terms by members of the provincial councils every four years, following the proportional elections to the provincial councils. The last Senate elections took place on September 6, 2019. The President of the Senate is Herber Goldman.

Emilia Orenstein , Chairman of the Kōninstag

In addition to their function of overseeing government activities, both chambers develop and pass laws. In case of disagreement, the final decision rests with Köninstag.

Judicial branch

Political parties

Migration policy

After a series of terrorist acts in the world, the government has consistently tightened immigration laws. Anti-immigration measures have significantly reduced the inflow of certain categories of migrants to Eastarland. In particular, in 2018, 4198 entry permits for family reunification were issued, which is 70% less than in 2013, and 1038 people were granted political asylum (82.5% less). At the same time, over the period 2013-2018, the number of those who received a study visa increased from 10 to 28.4 thousand people (an increase of 2.8 times), and those who entered on a work visa - from 5.9 to 12.8 thousand people (an increase 100%). In 2019, the measures were further tightened - in particular, a point system was introduced for spouses of immigrants wishing to enter the country.

Economy

Industry

Extraction of iron and uranium ores, bauxite is carried out. Leading manufacturing industries are mechanical engineering, including automotive, electrical and electronic (TVs, washing machines, etc.), aviation, shipbuilding (tankers, sea ferries) and machine tools. Eastarland is one of the world's largest manufacturers of chemical and petrochemical products (including synthetic rubber, plastics, mineral fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and others), ferrous and non-ferrous (aluminum, lead and zinc) metals. Eastarlandian clothing and footwear, jewelry, cheeses are well known in the world market (about 700 varieties are produced).

Agriculture

Eastarland has a highly productive agriculture. It occupies a leading position in the world in terms of agricultural production, grain production, livestock products and milk. Eastarland is a land of predominantly small family farms. Agricultural production efficiency is very high. At the same time Eastarland lags behind in the average yield of corn and sugar beet. In the agro-industrial complex, agriculture plays a subordinate role.

Germany selskoe hozyistvo 1.jpg

Livestock breeding provides about 70% of marketable agricultural products. Cattle breeding is the main branch of animal husbandry, it provides more than 2/5 of all marketable agricultural products, with the main part being milk (about ¼). Pig breeding is in second place. The country's self-sufficiency in milk and beef systematically exceeds 100%, but in pork it is less than 4/5.

Dairy and beef cattle breeding is most typical for well-moistened coastal areas, rich in meadows and pastures, as well as for the periphery of urban agglomerations. Due to the rather cold winter, stall keeping is common. Pig breeding is developed everywhere, but especially in areas close to the ports of import of imported feed, areas of sugar beet, potato and fodder root crops cultivation. Broiler production, production of eggs, veal, and pig breeding are concentrated in large livestock farms, the location of which depends little on natural factors. There are much more fodder crops than food crops, since a large amount of fodder grains, especially corn, are imported. However, the country ranked (2014) seventh in the world in terms of wheat exports (8.2 million tons). Of great importance is the cultivation of fodder root crops (fodder beets, etc.), corn for green fodder and silage, alfalfa, clover and other fodder grasses. Of the oilseeds, the most important is rapeseed, the crops of which are more than 10 times higher than those of sunflower.

Unnamed (2).jpg

In areas with high natural soil fertility, the main crops are wheat, barley, maize and sugar beets. The poorer soils of the Northern Lowland and the middle-altitude mountains are traditionally used for sowing rye, oats, potatoes and natural forage crops. The traditional nature of Eastarlandian agriculture has significantly changed technological progress. Today, the so-called light soils are valued more, due to their suitability for machine cultivation, using artificial fertilizers; for example, corn is now widely cultivated in the Northern Lowlands, where it replaces potatoes.

Viticulture surpasses, in marketable products, fruit growing and vegetable growing combined. Vineyards are located mainly in the valleys of Osterkat, Godera and other rivers.

Tourism

Attractions

Extractive industry

Forests make up more than 20% of the territory. There are 79 tree species in the Eastarland.

Eastarland has significant reserves of iron ore, uranium ores, bauxite, potash and rock salts, coal, zinc, copper, lead, nickel, oil, timber. The main coal mining regions are Safeks and the Eas-Kobur coal basins. Eastarlandian proven brown coal reserves were 40.5 billion tonnes. Since 1994, imports of coal have exceeded production. Gas production does not exceed 3 billion m³. One of the largest Eastarland gas fields is Olger in Loffier. "East Oil&Gas" is one of the largest gas and oil companies in Eastarland. The main activities of the company are exploration, production, marketing and distribution of natural gas and oil.
