The Hetmanate of Dniegua (Coysyakka: Гетманщины из Дниегуия, Getmanshchiny iz Dnieguiya) is a Federal Hetmanate-Republic located on Skandera, sharing land boarders with The Fifth Republic of Sieuxerr, Estovnia, Temuair, and Gratislavia. The capital and largest city is Ostrogslav, which serves additionally as the center of economic trade.
A fairly large nation by landmass with a moderate population, Dniegua (Prounounced De-Nye-gw-a) is moderately populated ad is among the wealthiest nations per capital in Pardes. First founded in the late 9th century, Dniegua has a long running culture and deep historical roots running back over 2,000 years. Its people can normally trace linage as far back as the mid 13th century, with an estimated 12% of the population being able to do the same to the 9th century. Its people are notoriously hearty and resilient, and are world known as a martial race of people widely. Early tribes were little more than a loose association of tribal warriors and their clans. Culturally, Dnieguans are somewhat Xenophobic, though to their neighbors of Estovnia, Sieuxerr, and Temuair, they have been reletivly open in the last 200 years.
Spanning just under 9.5 million square kilometers, Dniegua is mostly a subartic climate, with the northern portion of the country enjoying a humid subtropical climate. Winter coastal temperatures average -8°C (18°F) and summer temperatures average 23°C (73°F), while the inland averages -15°C (5°F) and 21°C (70°F). Dniegua enjoys a wide array of wildlife, and is among the only places remaning in the world where individuals can hunt Skanderan Elephants, Skanderan rhinos, and saber cats.
History
Before 1400
The antiquity of Dniegua largely composed of a large multitude of tribes, vying for control of the vital rivers, swampland, and deltas that allowed fertile growing and hunting grounds. As a result, much of the antiquity eras history is missing, mostly having been destroyed. Reccords that do exist indicate the history of some of the major tribes that would later unite and form the basis of the four major tribes in the region; The Koysy, the Romenski, the Denpryi, and the Cezken.
By the 2th century, record keeping have improved enough as to illustrate the state of affairs. According to these records, the Cezken and Koysy peoples were at a neat constant state of war, while most other smaller tribes were slowly being assimilated into the larger cultures-willingly or by force. One of the first major settlements, Korstgrad, was founded in 121 A.D along the shore of the Korsr'sta river in what is today the Kutmersk district. The Denpryi people, as of the 3rd century, are believed to hast started a sort of holy war against the Misilyst people near what is today the Skort'yet river valley. The first currency, belonging to the Romenski people, appeared sometime around the 3rd or 4th century, indicating signifigant advances in economic growth, likely making the Romenski the principal traders of the region.
By the 7th century, Dniegua remained widely divided, being composed of three individual nations and a so called "Blackland", comprised of tribes deemed "uncivilized".
Government and politics
Political System
Dniegua is most classically considered a republic, though in actuality it is a Hetmanate, a form of government unique to Dniegua. Largely, a Hetmanate is a regional representative republic that acts as a de-centralized government; these de-centeralized republics are called Oblasts. Representatives from these Oblasts compose the upper and lower houses of the Hetmanate, consisting of 90 representatives in the upper legislative duma and 450 in the lower. The highest seats are known as the Unpodahetman (Under-Hetman), composing of three members of each house of the duma, one from each house as chosen by the Hetman, and the Hetman-General of the Armed Forces.

Military
main: Military of Dniegua
The military is headed by the current Hetman, Petr Venevitinov. The Hetman-General is the highest ranking official in the military, a position currently held by Gen. Bogdan Razumtsky. The Dniegua people have a longstanding military history, and are considered to be among the highest echelons of martial races in Pardes. The Armed Forces of Dniegua reflect this, penetrating almost every sector of society. Selected males must serve a conscription notice. As of 2001, this service is selected by lottery; all individuals aged 18-24 are eligible for selection, an average of 102,000 are selected each year.
The military is divided into five branches: The Army, Navy, Air Force, Naval Infantry, and Air-Landing forces. In total, Dniegua had 836,000 active military personnel with 1,380,000 reserve. Of the 846,000 active, some 437,000 are professional military (Enlistment period longer than 24 months or a second deployment). The majority of military equipment is manufactured or designed locally or by neighboring states such as Estovnia or Sieuxerr. Dniegua is a principal member of the Mutual Defense organization OSEN
In 2014, the government spending for the military was 3.65% of national budget, about $195bn. The Navy was the largest receiver of funds with 30% of budget, the Air Force received 23%, the Army 22%, and the Air-Landing and Naval Infantry receiving 12% and 13%, respectively. The military budget for 2015 is expected to remain the same, or increase to 3.7%.
Foreign Relations
Dniegua is one of the founding members of both OSEN and the Skandarian Union. Throughout most of the 20th century, Dniegua was a starch anti-communist state and was considered "highly aggressive". Believing the best way to ensure its sovereignty was deterrence, the government of Dniegua placed large reliance in national defense, and aggressively deterred outside influence from the state, besides those from fellow Skandarian states.
Demographics
In 2010, the Dnieguan census indicated a population of 102,675,438 people. The population exceeded 100,000,000 people for the first time sometime between the 4th and 11th of August 2009. The population density is 10.82 people per sqare kilometer, though about 60% of the countries population lives in significantly closer areas. The capital cit of Ostrogslav is also the largest city, with 3.46 million residents in the city proper, and 5.56 million in the metro. Dniegua is approximately 76.3% urbanized.
Official records indicate less than 10% of Dnieguans are foreign born, with the majority of foreign born citizens being from Temuair or Sieuxerr
Language
The official languages of Dniegua is Dniegun, a Skandarian root language that seems to have evolved in its own right, with several missing lineages between it and its closest sister-tongue, Elvish. A complex language, the Dnieguan tongue, colloquially known as Coysyakka, is notoriously difficult to speak. Several dialects with distinct speaking patterns and their own words exist, which are often considered part of a greater Dnieguan language group, instead of Coysyakka. Traditionally Dnieguan has been written in Dnieguan Cyrillic, though since the mid-1960s, efforts have been undergoing to transition to the more traditional western alphabets. Today, 85% of Dnieguans are milti-lingual; 95% claim understanding of the western alphabet.
