Pelemia (Slabadic: Բելեմյա Pelemya), officially the Republic of Pelemia (Slabadic: Բելեմսգայա Րեսբւպլիգա Pelemskaya Respublika), is a sovereign state in northern Auressia. It borders Tyrnica to the west, Sulatia to the south and the Bolshtine Republic to the east. Encompassing INSERT square kilometres, Pelemia is the largest nation in Auressia and Xth largest in the world. It has a total population of nearly 102,872,042 million, which makes it the largest state in Auressia and 3rd largest in the world. Its capital city is Melnagrad, in the southeast of the country, which has a population of TBD. Pelemia is divided into 21 constituent Governorates.
Originally populated by Žamogusan peoples and Keranic peoples, Pelemia remained a sparsely populated region for much of early history. However, the value of its furs and rare woods led to the arrival of the Severny, Slabadic merchants who acted as intermediaries between the northern tribes and the states which surrounded them. These Severny followed the Brahminical traditions which had been popular within Slabadian society, but when this was cast out by the early Bolshtine state the Severny were forced to flee to the north. Welcomed by the Žamogusans, with whom they shared many cultural traits, the Severny began their own statebuilding project centred upon the town of Melnagrad. Already dominant of northern trade, the Severny soon controlled a vast swathe of territory wherein local tribes and towns swore fealty to the Prince, who was elected from among the nobles of Severny society. As its position was cemented, Melnagrad began to push downwards into the land inhabited by the Kevar peoples and by the 16th century had subjugated them as well. However, these gains in the south were soon lost to the expansionist Sulatian state, leading to a series of wars which would eventually result in a stalemate by the end of the century. Though nominally a fellow republic, Pelemia's oligarchic government which concentrated power within the Brahminic Boyars was seen as an elective monarchy by Sulatia and the two states fought during the coalitions against Sulatia. The current borders were established in the peace that followed. The Tyrnican Century had a profound impact upon the noble courts of Pelemia, as Tyrnican culture was imported and several significant cultural changes took place, leading Pelemia to integrate the Galene league in support of Tyrnica in the First Great War. Tyrnica's withdrawal from this pact was seen as a major insult to Pelemia, and the nations' relationship swiftly soured as Pelemia lost much of the support it had held against Bolshtinia. This triggered the Winter Crisis of 1914, a wave of demonstrations against the Prince for his pro-Tyrnican position which eventually forced him to step down in favor of the nationalist candidate Boris Melnesky of the Young Pelemian League. Pelemia was not involved in the second great war, and as such relations were not mended with the western neighbour. In the postbellum period, Pelemia's traditional rivalry with Bolshtinia soon made way for an uneasy form of collaboration as the two states sought to monopolise the price of uranium, which had been discovered in Pelemia in the 1940s. Pelemia slowly began to ease ties with Tyrnica by the 1980s, but tensions still remain due to Pelemia's conservatism and aspirations for regional influence.
The modern Pelemian state is wealthy, owing to its significant natural resources. It is a major exporter of Uranium, natural gas, and rare earth metals, with a developing tourist sector. Nominally a democratic state, Pelemia remains a country with major social divisions. Though universal suffrage was introduced following the First Great War, the old noble families still concentrate a bulk of the wealth in the nation and the political power, leading many to consider Pelemia an oligarchy. A melting pot of cultures, Pelemia's federalism has guaranteed the recognition of minority rights and languages since its founding. The current Prince-Elect is Vsevolod Lebedev of the Young Pelemian League, which has been a major player in Pelemian politics since the Winter Crisis.
Etymology
The name Pelemia is believed to have derived from the Classical Slabadic word Plemę, which means tribe. In older maps, the region which now makes up northern Pelemia was marked as the "Land of the Northern Tribes" or Zemlya Severnykh Plemen, which would be appropriated by the Severny when they were forced out of the central plains. Over time, the name was shortened with regular use, with both Siveria and Pelemia being commonly used. The reason that Pelemia was eventually chosen to represent the nation is believed to be in appreciation of the reception given by the northern tribes to the Severny were forced to flee, and to avoid the name having too close to the Severny ethnic group as well.
The demonym for Pelemia is Pelemian. The term has no ethnic connotations, though some Pelemian nationalists refer to a sort of Pelemian national culture which is defined on cultural rather than racial lines.
