Marolevia, (Grubalevian: Империя всех маролевов) officially the Empire of All Marolevs, is a sovereign state in Western Euclea. Marolevia a total land area of 1,769,205 square kilometres (683,094 sq mi) making it the fifth largest nation in Kylaris by area and the largest nation in Euclea by area, sharing a land border with XXXX to the South, Minerva, Wazovia, and Kansasto to the East, and sharing a Maritime Border with Solstiana to the North East. Marolevia has a total population of 82.9 Million citizens making it one of the largest nations in population in Euclea falling only behind Gaullica. The capital city is Vlazselo, and its largest city is Glazreki, other cities include Zheleznotkinsk, Domovir, Kryrinsk, and Voroyev.

Marolevs would emerge as a distinct group between the 2nd and 5th century. The origins of the Western Marolevs traces itself from a migratory period in the mid 5th century where there was rampant over population causing an exodus of many Marolevs East towards the Solarian Empire. The Marolevs who had left what many consider Marolevia proper who go onto become the Eastern Marolevs and the Southern Marolevs, while those who remained would become the Western Marolevs. The modern state of Marolevia traces its founding back to the founding of the Principality of Grubalevia which occurred sometime around the end of the 9th Century. It would become a regional power and its influence would continue under the Commonwealth of All Marolevs a confederation made up of various Marolevic States following the collapse of the Tsardom of Medvestk. The Commonwealth would be used by Gruablevia to unite All Marolevs under the Empire of All-Marolevs during the 17th Century. The Empire would come to dominate Western Euclea for centuries till the War of the Triple Alliance which would be the beginning of the end of the Empire.

During the December Revolution various Workers Unions seized control of the Government and a Brief but brutal civil war occurred bringing about the end of the Tsarist Regime which would flee to Asteria Inferior. This new regime would go onto form the Marolevic Syndicalist Union which would be lead by Vasiliy Vitsin throughout the first few years before his death would lead to Alexander Chemeris becoming the defacto leader of the Union and would go onto attempt to rapidly industrialize the Union, and would lead it throughout the duration of the Great War. Upon his death in 1939 he would not be followed by any dictator rather the Congress of Worker Unions would resume power throughout the Great Game leading Marolevia to develop Nuclear Weapons and become the nation with the most nuclear weapons stockpiled in Kylaris. Its collapse on the 12th of July 1974 saw the emergence of several new states most notably the Empire of All-Marolevs along with several other states gaining independence in the aftermath. The Empire is recognized as the successor state to the MSU.

The Government of Marolevia is a Federal constitutional monarchy with a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary. Marolevia is a member of the Community of Nations, Union of Marolevic Brotherhood, ITO, and the GIFA. The economy of Marolevia is one of the strongest in the world with a GDP of $2.1 Trillion, it maintains a large industrial sector along with significant contributions from its Tourism sector, also possessing a large amount of natural resources such as iron, nickel, coal, oil and gas.

Etymology

Marolevia is derived from "маролевов Земля" (marolevov zemlja) which is translated roughly to "Marolev Land" or "Land of the Marolevs." The term comes from its rampant use during the early Republican Pan-Marolevic movement who called for a 'Republic of Marolevia' and later its use to refer to state as whole by the Marolevic Syndicalist Union but has since become the normal term to refer to the area by most Eastern Eucleans and Asterians and it is used by some Marolevic Historians to differentiate it from the earlier Commonwealth.

History

Main article: History of Marolevia

Pre-History and Protohistory

The early Bronze Age in Marolevia begun around 2000 BC, while the Iron Age commenced in approximately 650 BC. The XXXX culture would become predominant especially in modern day Masskia. Marolev tribes would arrive in approximaently 200 BC in Masskia and would come to settle the area and quickly become the prominent ethnic group in the region displacing several other ethnic groups.

By the 5th Century AD, according to Solarian Sources, extensive overpopulation in modern day Marolevia would force large amounts of Marolev East mostly towards Solaria, whether or no this is true has been to great debate in among many historians who debate whether it was overpopulation or simply the Marolevs looking to sack Solarian cities. The migrations of these Marolevs East and South would form the three distinct branches of Marolevs that being, Western Marolevs, Eastern Marolevs and Southern Marolevs.

The arrival of Ariot and Amathian Missionaries by the end of the 9th Century would see the Christanization of the Marolevs, as well as the establish of several Marolev states most notably the Medvetsk, the Grubalevia and the Masskia as well as the Republic of XXXX and the Torgvorsk Republic.

Commonwealth of All Marolevs

During the 11th Century, following the emergence of both the Marolev States and the Christianization of the Marolevs, Grand Duke X of Medvestk of the X Dynasty would conquer the majority of the Marolev States West of the X mountain range. By the 12th Century Grand Duke X would declare himself 'Tsar of All-Marolevs' and would expand west across the X mountains, conquering both what is modern day Masskia and Grubalevia. Tsar X would attempt to push further East but would meet his death at the Battle of XZ during a war with Wazovia.

By the middle of the 13th century would see the beginning of the decline of Medvestk, struck by both a famine and a civil war breaking out over the who should be the next Tsar would see the death of both claimaints at the Battle of XA, the nobles of the Tsardom would come together in the first Duma. With this meeting of all nobles within the Tsardom they agreed to put the matter of the crown of the Tsardom to vote, forcing Tsar XV to establish an electoral monarchy within the Tsardom, and establishing the Commonwealth of All Marolevs, recognizing the rights of the nobles and forcing the Tsar to become more of a figurehead, though still wielding considerable power during times of war.

Empire of All-Marolevs

Grubalevia upon having won the election of Tsar multiple times would declare the Marolevic Commonwealth to have ended and to have become the Marolevic Empire sparking the War of the Commonwealth a civil war that lasted x years and would see many states break free from the Commonwealth but the eventual emergence of the dominant Marolev Empire.

The wew Marolev Empire would go onto dominant Western Euclea throughout the 17th, 18th, and part of the 19th Century.

The growing spread of eastern educated middle class and the several defeats suffered at the hands of the Empire during the War of the Triple Alliance and during the War of XE in the 19th century would eventually lead to the Marolev Civil War and the eventual overthrow of the Emperor.

Syndicalist Union

This new regime would go onto form the Marolevic Syndicalist Union which would be lead by Vasiliy Vitsin throughout the first ten years of the Union, he is also sometimes referred to as the 'First Dictator of the MSU.' After his death would lead to a period where the Union worked as intended, with the Congress of Marolev Unions along with the Presidium of the Union operating within the framework of the Union.

NotStalin would become the defacto leader of the Union and would go onto attempt to rapidly industrialize the Union, and would lead it throughout the duration of the Great War. Upon his death in 1939 he would not be followed by any dictator rather the Congress of Worker Unions would resume power as it had after Vitsin. The Congress and Presidium would lead the Union throughout the Great Game leading Marolevia to develop Nuclear Weapons and become the nation with the most nuclear weapons stockpiled in Kylaris.

Modern Marolevia

Its collapse on the 12th of July 1974 saw the emergence of several new states most notably the Empire of All-Marolevs along with several other states gaining independence in the aftermath. The Empire is recognized as the successor state to the Marolev Syndicalist Union. First Petrines Crisis, Second Petrines Crisis, War in Kansasto, Wazovian Emergency, and the Minervan Revolution

Geography

Main article: Geography of Marolevia

Location

Marolevia borders the Lumine Ocean in the West and the Pervo Sea to the North. It is a predominantly a temperate country, while having a temperate rain forest in the western portion of the nation. It has one predominant mountain chain running straight through the center of the nation separating the humid temperate rain forests of the west and the Northern Euclean Plain in the east.

Geology and Terrain

Marolevia's Central Mountainous region holds similar peaks to that of the XXXX Range in Eastern Euclea. While still smaller in general elevation it does contain a significant amount of elevated terrain and houses four of Euclea's tallest peaks.

The XXXY River played an important part in shapping not only much of the geology of central Marolevia but also played central part of the cultural and economic development of the region. The XXXX River in Western Marolevia played a similar role in the development as the XXXY river in Eastern Marolevia

Marolevia generally ranges from the Temperate Rainforests in the West to the flat planes of the East with the XXXX Range dominating central Marolevia.

Climate

The western and northern regions generally have an oceanic climate with the southern and eastern Regions generally being more continental due to the presence of the XXXX mountain range splitting the country in two.

Summer and Winter are the two most prevalent periods in Western MArolevia, with Spring and Fall being two short periods in between summer and winter. In Eastern Marolevia all four seasons are present though Spring and Fall are still considerably shorter than the rest of Euclea.
