Path to independence

Alexander Nivitsky was Radushia's senior representative in the Vojnaskul between 1970 and 1981. He was also the leading Radushian nationalist, coming to dominate the pursuit for independence.

Geography

Government and politics

According to the 1992 constitution, Radushia is a unitary theocratic parliamentary republic, subject to the authority of the Supreme Patriarch, who is the head of state and holds several executive powers. In addition to being the commander in chief of the armed forces, the Supreme Patriarch has the procedural duty of appointing the Chief Minister with the consent of the parliament, and has some influence on social policy. Marcarius II is the current Supreme Patriarch, while Raman Yarmoshyn of the All-Radushian Sotirian Party is the current Chief Minister. Many commentators also classify Radushia as a dominant party state, owing to the All-Radushian Sotirian Party winning every general election since 1981. However, Radushia is one of the highest ranking countries in Western Euclea for electoral standards.

The gvernment (Urada) is composed of the chief minister and cabinet ministers. The Government is responsible for proposing legislation and a budget, executing the laws, and guiding the foreign and internal policies.

The Great Assembly of State (Vialiki Asamblieja Dziaržavy) is a unicameral legislative body. The Great Assembly has the power to enact laws, approve the budget, schedule parliamentary elections, reccommend the appointment or dismissal of the Chief Minister and other ministers, declare war, and ratify international treaties and agreements. It is composed of 250 proportionally elected members who serve four-year terms.

Supreme Patriarch

Main article: Supreme Patriarch of Radushia

The Supreme Patriarch, who assumes the office upon becoming Patriarch of the Radushian Epistmalist Church, is afforded several executive powers, yet shares many commonalities with ceremonial heads of states elsewhere. The Supreme Patriarch is granted the power to appoint and dismiss the Chief Minister and cabinet ministers, dissolve the Great Assembly and possesses a veto on all legislation (though this has been rarely used) which can be overturned with a two-thirds majority in the legislature. The Supreme Patriarch also has the responsibility of promulgation, with all legislature requiring his signature to enter law. The position is held for life in parallel to its religious counter-part.

One widely accepted feature of the office is the immense influence it holds over Radushian society, where comments and statements by the incumbent are regularly viewed as sacrosanct. As such, the Supreme Patriarch is able to influence the country socially without having to rely on legislation or law. This has been praised and criticised in equal measure due to the lack of accountability.

Religion

The Church of Saint Michael the Archangel is the largest Epistmalist cathedral in Radushia and one of the largest in the world.

The Holy Lavra of Saint George over Staraya Vodva is the spiritual centre of Radushia and the residence of the Patriarch of Radushia.

Education

University of Saint Katerina in Chirvotava is the country's principal tertiary institution.

Education in Radushia is split roughly equally between state-run and church-run institutions. Church schools tend to be of higher quality in teaching, learning content and are widely seen as more prestigious than state-run institutions. However, criticisms exist in that Church-shcools operate beyond government oversight and have little accountability. Anti-government critics have argued that church schools in Radushia are designed to "entrench support for the theocratic system, over preparing students for careers."

Urbanisation

Chirvotava, the nation's capital and largest city, was home to 1,117,900 residents in 2018, representing 26.65% of the national population. Ottseda, with a population of 181,000, is the second-largest city and is located on the shores of Lake XXX. Other large cities are Svaryn (165,100), Sviaty Michal (118,400), Sviaty Mikola (89,800) and Aleksandrina (78,300).
