Geography

Oseva has a total area of ‭588,665 km² (227,285 sq mi), making it the xth largest country in XX and xth largest in the world. Located in southern X, it is bordered by Finium to the north-west, Dulebia to the north and bounded by the XX Sea to the west and south-west. Much of Oseva's geography is defined by the Panleonian Plain, which provides Oseva's flat and forested terrain. Coastal Oseva is defined by its low-lying terrain and its numerous lagoons and bays. Northern Oseva is dominated by large tracts of farmland and forests, the largest being the Północny Zasięg.

The centre and parts of the north of the country lie within the Panleonian Plain. Rising above these lowlands is a geographical region comprising four hilly districts of moraines and moraine-dammed lakes formed during and after the Pleistocene ice age. These lake districts are the Seravian Lake District, the Bzurian Lake District, the Opavian Lake District, and the Raban Lake District. The Bzurian Lake District is the largest of the four and covers much of northern Oseva.

Government and politics

Oseva is constitutionally a unitary parliamentary republic, overseen by a military junta, where the head of the junta is also head of state, through the office of Chief of State, and whose current constitution dates from 1985. The government structure centers on the Council of Ministers, led by a prime minister. The Chief of State appoints the cabinet according to the proposals of the prime minister, typically from the majority coalition in the Wiece. The Chief of State is elected by the Council of State for a single ten-year term. The current Chief of State is Felicijan Radek and the prime minister is Marija Ziobro.

Osevian voters elect the lower-house of the bicameral parliament, the 480-member Wiece. The upper-house is the 50-member Council of State which consists of senior military figures, and civilians appointed by the military. The Wiece is elected under proportional representation according to the d'Hondt method. The civilian members of the Council of State are selected by the Covenant Office of Appointments, they are mostly experts from key fields including business, industry, education, science and law enforcement. Civilians number 20 of out 50, with the remaining 30 seats allocated to military officers. Since 1995, Oseva has been considered a dominant party state under the Popular and National Revival Movement (Popularny i Ruch Odrodzenia Narodowego, PRON) which has dominated all levels of government uninterrupted. The NRM is noted to being deeply pro-military and subordinate to the junta through its National Covenant for Security and Prosperity.

The judicial branch plays an important role in decision-making. Its major institutions include the Supreme Court (Sąd Najwyższy); the Supreme Administrative Court (Naczelny Sąd Administracyjny); and the State Tribunal (Trybunał Stanu). The PRYNOR appoints all heads and justices comprising each court, while the State Tribunal exists solely to hear cases of violations of law or the constitution by elected officials, or people of interest. The State Tribunal has been criticised as a kangaroo court, used by the military to run televised trials against critics.

National Covenant for Security and Prosperity

The National Covenant for Security and Prosperity (Przymierze Narodowe dla Ochrony i Rozwój; PRYNOR), is the military council that acts of a "core half" of Oseva's executive branch. Headed by the Chief of State, it consists of 13 prominent officers from all four branches of the Osevian National Armed Forces. It is tasked with reveiwing all legislation, appointing the heads of state television, radio, the intelligence services, military appointments and promotions, heads of law enforcement and the Supreme Court. It has the power to dissolve the National Assembly, sparking an election at its own disrection or upon request of the Prime Minister. It also possesses a veto over cabinet appointments and all legislation produced in the National Assembly, it is also tasked with appointing the Ministers of Homeland Defence and State Security. Upon each election, the PRYNOR officially appoints the Prime Minister through the Chief of State.

The PRYNOR under the constitution is not accountable to any body or individual and holds dominant sway over all areas of government policy, including national security, defence and foreign policy. The body may also assume complete executive control during times of national emergency or war. PRYNOR also holds significant influence of the nation's independent media through the Covenant Office for Information and Social Cohesion, which operates as a censor of printed, televised and digital media.

Military

Main article: Osevian National Armed Forces

The Osevian armed forces are composed of five branches: National Army (Armia Narodowa), National Navy (Marynarka Narodowa), Air Force (Siły Powietrzne Narodowa), National Defence Force (Wojska Obrony Narodowa) – a reserve popular militia. The National Police Force (Krajowe Siły Policyjne), though nominally under military control, can be used for military duties during war time. The military is subordinate to the Minister for Homeland Defence. However, its commander-in-chief is the Cheif of State.

The Osevian army's size is estimated at around 405,500 soldiers (2018). The Osevian National Navy primarily operates in the XXX Sea and conducts operations such as maritime patrol, search and rescue for the section of the XX under Osevian sovereignty and beyond, as well as hydrographic measurements and research. The current position of the Osevian National Air Force is much the same; it has routinely taken part in XX Air Policing assignments.

Since 2001, the ONAF has been under going significant modernisation, with the introduction of new battle systems, including tanks, aircraft, artillery and unmanned aerial vehicles. Since 2008, the Army has begun receiving new small arms, anti-tank weapons and a series of new surface-to-air systems. Owing to the military's role in Osevian politics, it has been able to secure defence spending of 3.1% of GDP.
