Slirnija, officially the Republic of Slirnia, is a landlocked mountainous country located in the continent of Euclea. It is bordered clockwise, by East Miersa, Gaullica, Amathia, Minilov and [ purple little country ]; its only coast is located on the [ name of the lake ] lake. The territory of Slirnia covers [ ¿ ] kilometres square which distribute between snowed peaks and fertile plains, where the majority of its 5,723,452 inhabitants live.
 
Ruled by small duchies and principalities, the territory of today's Slirnia remained highly divided for several decades during the Middle Ages and it was not until the formation of the Kingdom of Slirnia, when the whole territory found a common identity. However, as conflicts were common throughout its history and stability was rare, Slirnia remained occupied by neighbouring monarchies for most of this time until the final revolt led by House of Belojević which achieved a total control of the territory. During the different invasions and conflicts over the Slirnian throne, the population saw the introduction of Christianism and the later predominance of adherence to the Catholic faith over other forms. The Belojević’s Kingdom of Slirnia survived with its throne passing through the hands of many other Euclean Royal Houses during most of the history, leading the expansion to cover roughly the territory the nation occupies today. However, it saw an abrupt end during the Revolution of 1934, in which its monarch and royal family ended executed by the revolutionaries forces and the means of production taken by the workers, which led the transformation of Slirnia into a Socialist Republic falling under Amathia and Swetania's sphere of influence.
 
Slirnia lived under this form of government during most of the 20th century with relative progress and regional integration. During most of the Great War it remained neutral and with minimum participation in the conflicts of the continent. Approaching the 70’s, the authoritarian government of Slirnia caused a major break in the relations with Swetania, its most important backer and economical partner; the situation was followed by a gradual distancing from other socialist countries in Euclea and Kylaris and eventually led Slirnia to suffer electric shortages and a serious economic depression. As the decade continued, social discontent towards the government was discharged in largely suppressed riots and manifestations; during its last stage, the Council of the Socialist Republic of Slirnia applied several restrictions to the social life and media, damaging liberty and press freedom in the country. In 1974, the already damaged image of Slirnia in Euclea re-appeared as a discussion topic after the fire in the Krško Nuclear plant caused a release of radioactive contamination across the country; the accident triggered the manifestations against the government and by 1979, the government of the Socialist Republic of Slirnia found itself incapable of continuing with the situation and after a year of almost civil war in the capital city and other important urban poles between pro-government and pro-liberalisation forces backed up by [ not socialist countries ] and the majority of the Slirnian diaspora, the council government of the Socialist Republic of Slirnia declared the return of elections and the gradual modernisation of its financial policies towards a market economy.
 
In 1980, the country adopted its new Constitution, which established the Republic of Slirnia. The '90s and early '00s decades were marked by the first administrations of the Social Democrat and Socialists government which gradually started the process of denationalisation and privatisation of the economy as well as the shift on its foreign policy towards the west of Euclea. In the following years, Slirnia saw the accession of centre-right governments; in 2004, the Christian Democrats won their first elections in the history of Slirnia and governed during 15 years, leading the membership talks with the Euclean Community and a stronger privatisation process.
 
Although it is catalogued as a high income open market economy, it has kept a large welfare and social security scheme which dates from the Socialist ties. The country, ranks high in women participation, civil liberties, press freedom and democratic governance. Slirnia is a member of the EDTO, the the AECD and the Community of Nations. As of 2020, it is a recognised candidate for a future membership of the Euclean Community.

[[File:Kralj aleksandar1.jpg|230px|thumb|Prince Tomislav I of Slirnia was the only monarch of the country in the modern age. ]]
During most of the course of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in [[Euclea]], the territory of what is today Slirnia remained total or partially occupied by the [[Great_War_(Kylaris)#Entente|Entente forces]] of [[Functionalist Gaullica|Gaullica]] [[Kingdom of Amathia|Amathia]], with its native people, the Slirnians, suffering of their daily lives being attached to the regional tensions and the authoritianism of the occupying forces. It was only at the end of the war and with the victory of the [[Great_War_(Kylaris)#Grand_Alliance|Grand Alliance's forces]], when the territory that at some previous moment had been of the Slirnians, was brought back to them under the conditions of the [ treaty name ] Treaty, which specified the establishment of the [[Principality of Slirnia]] as a predecessor of the former Belojević's Kingdom of Slirnia.
 
The recently created Duchy was granted by the [[Community of Nations]] with the responsibility of keeping itself independent from foreign interventions and a new geopolitical map of [[Euclea]] provided Slirnians with what was remembered as their historical area of influence, from the northernmost point of [[Minilov]] to the southernmost coast of the [ ] Lake, creating a luck of buffer state to cover a large area in [[Euclea|Central Euclea]]. During the first year under the reign of the [[Prince Tomislav I]], Slirnia saw the formal promulgation of its first constitution, which was created in a Prince's attempt to keep the population unified. However, his process of keeping peace shortly failed as the popular feeling of a puppet monarch raised among the population; at the same time, in the neighbouring [[Kingdom of Amathia]], people was living the establishment of the [[Amathian Equalist Republic]] that consolidated [[Swetania|Swetanian]] influence in the area for the upcoming decades.
===Socialist Republic of Slirnia===
[[File:Revolución-marzo-rusia--russianbolshevik00rossuoft.png|230px|thumb|Partisans in the street of [[Dražovice]] during the 3 November 1936, when revolutionary forces took the Princely Palace.]][[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-R90009, Budapest, II. Weltfestspiele, Festumzug, tschechische Delegation (cropped KG).jpg|230px|thumb|Slobodan Bijedic, as communist leader and General Secretary of the Socialist Republic of Slirnia between 1965 and 1969, he led the Slirnian transition towards a centralised and authoritarian country.]]
The pretention of the Prince to keep Slirnia under a constitutional monarchy met its end shortly after the fall of the [[Kingdom of Amathia]]. In the Slirninan countryside, the population, heavily affected by hunger, famines and poverty found in the ideas of its neighbourhoods, the manner to fight the rising inequalities between [[Dražovice]] and the rural areas and the complete indifference of the monarchy towards their situation. The irregular front, composed by socialists and anarchists, rapidly acquired the sympathy of the rural populations, which enabled the revolutionaries to take the control of several towns and villages in less than a couple months before the Princely forces could notice; it was long after, in February 1936, when the monarchists forces, seeing themselves reduced to control the capital city and a handful important cities, launched their offensive giving the start to a shirt but crude civil war.
 
Backed up by the recently established [[Amathian Equalist Republic]], the partisans composed an informal but rather well-equipped army that consolidated itself with the several enlistments of men and women from the towns they ''liberated'' from the monarchist forces. During the course of 1936, partisans were deployed over most of the south and east of Slirnia encircling the capital, which was living a specially tumultuous period with constant manifestations from workers, which were suppressed by the Princely Police Corps. Of the many, the most recognised was the pacific manifestation at the [ name fo factory ] factory, in which workers were incinerated during the [ - Massacre ]. By September of the same year, manifestations turned into riots that counted with a strong presence and influence of the partisans over the workers and farmers that lived in the outskirts of [[Dražovice]]; with the a revolution and a civil war taking place in the streets of the city and the countryside, the irregular was sure about their decision of overthrowing the monarchy.
 
With the revolutionary forces effectively setting a provisional {{wp|Soviet democracy|council republic}} with its capital established in the city of [ ], the monarchists forces and the Princely family in [[Dražovice]] were challenged to face the reality of a dual power. The recently established {{wp|Soviet democracy|council republic}} rapidly gained the attention of an even larger portion of workers and farmers that by October, had increased the membership of the partisan's army in a 55%, making it more visible a closer invasion of the Princely Palace and the final takeover of [[Dražovice]], which eventually took place during the morning of 3 November 1936, when after a long fight the previous night, revolutionary forces burst into the Princely Palace of the city, imprisoning the royal family and executing the members of the counter-revolutionary army. Poor records of the event in the [[Slirnian National Archive]] have left open this last chapter in the history of the Slirnian Revolution, and although, some historians say the family was granted their life and exiled, others have confirmed their execution days after the Socialist Republic of Slirnia was established.
 
The same day after taking the Princely Palace in [[Dražovice]], the revolution established the [[Socialist Republic of Slirnia]] following the [[Swetania|Swetanian]] model of {{wp|Soviet democracy|council republic}}. However, as the years followed, the SRS veered towards a more authoritarian model of governance; local councils remained under a strong military presence and centralisation towards the capital city gradually became an issue as the central council grew bureaucratically under the presidency of [[Slobodan Bijedić]] in 1965. During most of the 50's and 60's, Slirnia kept its political alignment with its southern neighbourhood, [[Amathian Equalist Republic|Amathia]], whose economic prosperity created a favourable environment in Slirnia for the country to develop an early industry, that gradually grew with the time, switching the country's economy from a mainly agro-exported based one, to an industrially based. But on the other side, diplomatic relations with [[Swetania]] remained tense during most of the existence of the SRS, due to the authoritarian stance the Slirnian council took with the pass of the time.
[[File:Studentske demonstracije u Beogradu 1968.jpg|230px|thumb|Students demonstration in [[Dražovice]], 1974.]]
Together with the strong economic growth the [[Amathian Equalist Republic]] lived, Slirnia became economical and energetically dependant of the country to develop its industry, but as the former submerged in a complicated internal situation and [[Swetania]] marked its distancing, Slirnia was left with few alternatives, which eventually led to a period of increasing inflation, financial problems and electric shortages; as the society of the SRS grew their discontent with the council government, this applied several restrictions to political and press freedom following the path of [[Amathian Equalist Republic|Amathia]] with its [[League of Equalist Unity (Amathia)|League of Equalist Unity]]; Slirnian fragile politics were broken during the civic-military coup of 1972 with the armed forces taking the effective control of most of the institutions. By 1973, the tumultuous life in the cities across the SRS led to pacific manifestations and later riots to denounce the lack of personal freedom in the country but as these became largely suppressed by the government and its informal forces, the situation became unsustainable. During much of the decade, Slirnia submerged itself in isolation from the rest of [[Euclea]] to protect itself from international sanctions, but in 1974 a fire in the Krško Nuclear Plant caused a release of radioactive contamination across the country; the exaggerated government efforts to shut down the press about the incident (which was later reported to be {{wp|International Nuclear Event Scale|INES Level 3}} by the [[Atomic Energy Commission]]) ended provoking mass manifestations in [[Dražovice]] and the international community to look at the social situation of the country.
 
International sanctions, the preoccupation of the [[Community of Nations]] about a new conflict in the continent, the tense relations with [[Swetania]] and the collapse of the Equalist regime in [[Amathia]], proved to the government of the Socialist Republic of Slirnia the difficult situation in which the country was positioned to face the future. In the same line, the [[Party for the People's Victory]] nominated the [[Social Democratic Party (Slirnia)|Social Democratic Party]] to lead a gradual open up of the Slirnian society and economy and in 1979, the country proclaimed the constitution to a year later, establish the Republic of Slirnia with the first elections in democracy. The country kept the form of {{wp|Soviet democracy|council republic}} for over two more terms, until in 1994, a referendum was celebrated to change its composition and duties, creating the position of [[Prime Minister of Slirnia]] and reducing the council presidency from seven to three members.
===Republic of Slirnia===
[[File:Secretary Clinton Meets With Montenegrin Prime Minister Luksic (6236047126).jpg|230px|thumb|left|Aleksandar Keşco, Prime Minister of Slirnia between 2012 and 2016 with the former [[Taoiseach of Caldia]] and [[Euclean Community|President of the Euclean Community]], [[Alexis Walker]].]]
The Republic of Slirnia was finally established with the promulgation of the Constitution of Slirnia in 1979, which came into force in 1 January 1980. Since then, the country has lived many transformations towards a liberal democracy and market economy as the rest of east [[Euclea]]. The political, social and cultural scene of the country since then, has been marked by the return of democracy and the administrations of the [[Social Democrat Party (Slirnia)|Social Democrat Party]] and the [[Christian Democrats (Slirnia)|Christian Democrats]]; both parties, representing opposite ideological positions, have led Slirnia under consensus towards the liberalisation of the economy and the introduction of Slirnia to the liberal democracy. During the first administrations of the [[Social Democrat Party (Slirnia)|SDP]], the party granted the pacific transition while keeping the collegiated form of government, in the same line, the party introduced several initial reforms (heavily questioned at first by neo-liberal economists) on the economy aimed to the denationalisation and privatisation of the state-owned companies. The global recession during the 80's provoked in Slirnia a general discontent towards the social democrat government, to which the population started to see as a continuation of the previous regime. However, in 1994, before the electoral year of 1995, Slirnia celebrated a referendum to decide the continuity of the council and in which form. A year later, during the elections of 1995, Slirnia elected its first [[Prime Minister of Slirnia|Prime Minister]] and reduced the council composition to three as well as reducing its role on the daily politics.
 
The elections of 1995 saw the victory of the [[Christian Democrats (Slirnia)|Christian Democrats]], being the first centre-right party to win the elections in Slirnia. The party, under the leadership of [ name surname ], led the first contacts of the country with the [[Euclean Community]] and started a stronger scheme of privatisations, which concluded with the total sell of [[Škavak Auto]] to [ Weranian !VW ] and [[Dražovice Banka]] to Slirnian capitals. [ name surname ]'s administration was heavily criticised by the opposition and the [[Slirnian Democratic Centre]] by the strong austerity reforms introduced to palliate the effects of the previous recession. The political performance of the [[Slirnian Democratic Centre|SDC]] took the party to lead polls and eventually win the elections; the [[Slirnian Democratic Centre|SDC]] governed, with coalitions with the [[Christian Democrats (Slirnia)|Christian Democrats]] until 2020.

Slirnia has a rich political history, that goes through the three most important periods of its history to the present republic and its constitution is a clear reflect of this; adopted after the revolts against the absolute monarchs of the Kingdom of Slirnia, the country adopted its first constitution in [] and later, after the Revolution of 1934, the socialist regime underwent several reforms on the carta magna. The current constitution, was composed and voted in 1979 and promulgated in 1980 establishing the Republic of Slirnia. Since then, the country has maintained it, adapting it in multiple times with plebiscited reforms. Although the establishment of the Republic of Slirnia marked a strong separation from the past Socialist Republic, the contitution still maintained several articles, which preceded the constitution of the SRS, such as the protection of the personal freedom, the collective propriety and an egalitarian view on issues like marriage and divorce. Despite the Catholic faith remains the largest faith in numbers among the Slirnian society, the constitution does not define any religion as official for the state and keeps several articles that make reforms on this, unconstitutional. Since 1980, the power in Slirnia is separated into Legislative, Executive and Judicial, each of them  with their special duties and independence. The country has a collective presidency composed by three members that act as {{wp|Head of State|Heads of State}} and a {{wp|Head of Government|Head of Government}}, called [[Presidency of Slirnia|Presidency]] (''Predsednik Slirnije'') and [[Prime Minister of Slirnia|Prime Minister]] (''Premijer Slirnije'') respectively.  
 
The government of Slirnia is led by the three figures that compose the collective presidency, who are elected by universal and direct suffrage to serve a six year term in total and divided in terms of two years each. However, this position is ''de facto'' ceremonially, its powers on the political scene are only limited to act as a guarantee for the respect of liberty and common aims in the Slirnian society. The Prime Minister of Slirnia, on the other side, is who reflects the country's leading political figure; Prime Ministers are elected during general elections and serve for terms usually no longer than five years, these are responsible to the [[Parliament of Slirnia]] and command the confidence of the rest of the members of the parliament. In case of failing to get the confidence or loosing it, it is the Presidency of Slirnia who dissolves the legislature and calls for new general elections. The constitution of Slirnia prevents Presidents of exercising more than two consecutive administrations as these are regarded to in the political and social life of the country as neutral, however, if a Prime Minister is elected during an internal election as party leader, wins the majority of the votes during a general election and gains the confidence of the party, these are not limited to continue exercising the office.
 
The legislative power of the republic is vested on the {{wp|unicameral}} [[Parliament of Slirnia]] (''Parlament Slirnije''), which is composed by 179 representatives or parliamentarians that are elected during the general elections by universal suffrage, and whose duties are to represent voters and its interests. The [[Parliament of Slirnia]] is the responsible of handing confidence to the Prime Ministers after these are nominated by the Presidents and of passing laws, allowing referendums and discussing national matters of importance. Since the last General Elections in 2020, the Slirnian legislature is composed by the [[Social Democrat Party (Slirnia)|Social Democrat Party]], the [[Socialists-Greens Alliance]] and [[Progressive Slirnia]] on the government and the [[Christian Democrats (Slirnia)|Christian Democrats]], [[Slirnian Democratic Centre]] and [[Liberals-Možemo]] on the opposition. Without parliamentary presence, there are several other minor parties in the politics of Slirnia such as the far-left [[Communist Party of Slirnia]] or the far-right populist [[Nationalist League of Slirnia]].
===Foreign Relations===

As a landlocked nation of medium size, Slirnia is a recognised as a {{wp|small power}} which seeks to project its influence through diplomatic, cultural and economic ties, as a result, the country maintains good relations with embassies or consulates in most nations of the world. Although its foreign policy since the return of the democracy in 1980 have been rooted in the neutrality and cooperation, the country does maintain strong ties with intergovernmental organisations as observer or member. Since the establishment of the Republic of Slirnia, the country has contributed the international scene with an active profile of cooperation and aiming to bring socio-political stability to the region. Slirnian governments over the last decades have reached consensus among all political parties in proactively contributing to the protection of Slirnian sovereignty through the diplomatic path keeping foreign relations far from the politicisation.
 
As of 2020, Slirnia is an official candidate for a future membership of the [[Euclean Community]]; however, the Euclean Community continues being a discussion point in the politics of the republic with several parties and a large number of citizens willing to keep the country as an associate of the community rather than being an official member. Slirnia is a member of the [[Euclean Common Defense Treaty Organization]], the [[Community of Nations]], the [[Global Institute for Fiscal Affairs]] and the [[International Trade Organization]]. In 2009, Slirnia became an official member of the [[Association for Economic Development and Cooperation]].
 
===Administrative divisions===
===Armed Forces===

The [[Armed Forces of Slirnia]] —''Oružane snage Slirnije Republike''— are the military service of the republic, they comprise two branches, the Air Force of Slirnia (''uwu'') and the Army of Slirnia (''owo''), which are commanded independently and subordinated to the [[President of Slirnia]] (Commander-in-Chief) and the Minister of National Defence. Due to its condition as a landlocked nation, Slirnia does not count with a Navy; however, the police is the force in charge of the coast in the [] Lake. As it is established in the constitution of the republic, the primary mission of the Armed Forces is to safeguard Slirnian independence, sovereignty and territory from foreign interventions; however, in recent times, the Slirnian Armed Forces have also provided the government with an effective emergency relief team during national disasters. Conscription in Slirnia is voluntary since the referendum of 1998 and annually, there is an average of 150 new trainees.
 
Although their presence in the social and political life of Slirnia has decreased immeasurably since the return of the country to the democracy in 1979, the Armed Forces of Slirnia have kept an active participation in [[Euclea]], [[Bahia]] and [[Coius]] during peacekeeping missions and joint exercises with members of alliances. Since the integration of the country to the [[Euclean Common Defense Treaty Organization]], the Slirnian armed forces have adopted the protection and support of international peace as a core value in their tasks. In 2019, the country reported a total spending of 0.91% of the country's GDP in their military budget.
 
==Economy==
[[File:Bratislava Panorama R01.jpg|230px|thumb|Historic district of Dražovice; the services sector of Slirnia is composed mainly by the financial activity with large contributions from the tourism.]]
The economy of Slirnia is a {{wp|high-income economy}}, sometimes described as {{wp|social market economy|social market}} due to the large welfare program that provides to its citizens. Although its GDP equals those seen in the west portion of [[Euclea]], the country suffers social inequalities in some of its regions. The total GDP of Slirnia was estimated in 2019 in $223.677 billions while the GDP per capita was seen in $40,585; on the same line, several organisations such as the [[Association for Economic Development and Cooperation]] and the [[Euclean Community]] have noted the efforts of the governments to maintain high life standards and low public debt. Depite its past as a centrally planned socialist economy, Slirnia successfully made the transition to a market driven economy with an important private sector; today, the country ranks regionally high or very high in economic competitiveness, freedom of business and globalisation. In 2018, poverty was reported to be at 5.1% and the population in risk of poverty at 1.9%, in the same line, unemployment was reported to be at 4,9%, signifying a gradual increase of 0,2% since the last report.
 
[[File:Tomaj church in white (2362892189).jpg|230px|thumb|left|Despite the industry and services, agriculture and livestock are still fundamental areas for the economy of Slirnia.]]
The economy of Slirnia is driven on its majority by a large export-oriented agricultural sector and an important industrial sector that predates the Socialist Republic of Slirnia. However, both sectors have seen a decline in the last years with the predominance of the tertiary services sector, in which the financial and technological sectors have increased in their importance. Today, industry comprises a 22.7% of the total national GDP; for the Slirnian industry, the national automotive company [[Škavak Auto]] is the largest contributor. The agricultural sector is rooted largely on the exports of meat and live cattle, mostly to other [[Euclea|Euclean]] nations, where the traceability of Slirnian cattle is considered an aggregated value. Services remain being the largest economic sector, accounting for over 61.2% of the total economic activity of Slirnia, its importance resides on the financial and banking sector, the technology and software production and in a large retail sector.
 
During the 80's and 90's, after the establishment of the republic, the country underwent one of the most ambitious programmes of privatisation of its economy to face the transition towards a {{wp|social market economy}}. The first Social Democrat governments and later liberal conservatives Christian Democrats and SDC administrations pursued macroeconomic stabilization and several structural reforms that led Slirnia's state to sell partially or totally most of its state-owned companies. Although this process is regarded to by the political establishment to be already finished, Slirnia still owns several shares in most former state-owned companies, which has assured over the decades, economic prosperity. Some important and international or regionally recognised Slirnian companies are [[Škavak Auto]], [[Dražovice Banka]] and the department stores and retail related chain [[Elle]].
