Oseva, officially the Republic of Oseva (Osevian: Rzeczpospolita Osewa) is a landlocked country in Central Belisaria bordered by Liothidia to the west, XX to the south, XX to the north and XX to the east. Osevia covers an area of XX square kilometres (XX sq mi) with a mostly temperate continental climate and oceanic climate. It is a unitary parliamentary republic, with 11.5 million inhabitants; its capital and largest city is Wilamowo, with 1.3 million residents. Other major cities are Zakliczyn, Zator and Muszyna.
The establishment of the Osevian state can be traced back to A.D. 946, when Petar I, ruler of the realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Oseva, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Osevia was founded in 1015, and in 1569 it expanded dramatically to reach the Boreios Sea to the far-north. In 1589, it lost much of its territory to the Liothidian Realm, before being ultimately conquered and ruled by Rabinovska. In 1878, an Osevian uprising was supported by the Liothidian Empire, culminating in the Second Kingdom of Oseva which remained independent until 1921, when it was once again annexed by Rabinovska in wake of the Lio-Rabinovskan War (1919-21).
From 1921 until 1993 it existed as an autonomous region within Rabinovska. During the 1980s it saw a Renaissance in Osevian nationalism and national identity, which brought it into conflict with the central Rabinovskan government. These tensions would be repeated across other regions of the country, which eventually erupted in violence and ultimately conflict. In 1993, after two years of fighting, Oseva secured independence from Rabinovska, as a parliamentary republic. In 1998, a major constitutional crisis involving Rabinovskan intelligence agents led to the 1998 Osevian coup d'état and the establishment of a military junta that has governed the country since.
Oseva is a developed country, which maintains a high-income economy along with very high standards of living, life quality, safety, education and economic freedom. Oseva has a developed school educational system, becoming one of the most prominent in central Belisaria for higher-education. The country provides free university education, state-funded social security and a universal health care system for all citizens. Oseva is a member of the Forum of Nations and the Belisarian League for Cooperation and Development.
History
Geography
Government and politics
From independence in 1993 until 1998, Oseva was governed as a multiparty parliamentary republic. However, the 1998 Osevian Constitutional Crisis resulted in the coup of the same year, which suspended the constitution and centralised power under the Provisional State Authority, a council of senior military officials. The PSA governed Oseva until 2002, when a new constitution was introduced enshrining the military junta. The 2002 constitution created the office of Chief of State, as head-of-state with significant power and influence over general day-to-day affairs. The new constitution however did re-introduce parliamentary elections, which are overseen by the military and many of the pre-coup parties were disbanded and declared illegal.

The Chief of State, who is officially the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Osevian Defence Force. The Chief of State rotates between the heads of the branches of the ODF, who is also automatically promoted to head of the entire military. The Chief of State holds his position for a maximum of ten-years. The Chief of State has numerous powers, including the right to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister at will, while usually the person appointed upon each election is the leader of the largest party in the Rada. The Chief of State may also dissolve the Rada at his pleasure, sparking elections, while all cabinet appointments must be approved by the Chief of State. The Chief of State also holds the power of veto over all national legislation. The Chief of State chairs the Supreme Council for Osevian Preservation, which is comprised of key military officers and selective members of the Rada, to oversee legislation and government policy.
Below the Chief of State is the Prime Minister, who is formally the head of government. The Prime Minister is drawn from the Rada, as leader of the largest party. Upon each election, the leader is invited by the Chief of State to form a government. The Prime Minister chairs the Council of Ministers, the national cabinet comprised of 21 ministers and agency heads.
The legislature of Oseva is the unicameral Rada Narodowa, with 350 deputies. They are elected every five-years in fixed terms, without limit. They are elected by a proportional representation system, with universal suffrage for all citizens aged 18 and over. Elections are tightly controlled by the military through the National Electoral Standards Commission, while the military itself is directly represented by the Osevian Popular Party. In the 2015 general election, the OPP won 42.5% of the vote and secured 247 seats, while the main opposition party, the Party of the Republic, won 23.4% and 84 seats. Independent observers have described Osevia's elections as "fundamentally flawed", with excessive media coverage of the OPP, harassment of opposition parties by state authorities and the use of extensive financial tools to hob opposition parties.
