The Republic of Drevlyana (Drevlyanan: Древлянська республіка) is a country in eastern Erisia. It is the TBD largest country in the continent and borders Poicary to the north, the Aitic Union to the northeast, Argea to the southwest, and has a coastline on the TBD Sea to the south. Stryi is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Bilokurakyne, Khrystynivka, and Uzhorod. The official language of Drevlyana is Drevlyanan and Kryvian. Other widely spoken languages, mostly in the north and the east, are Poicarian, Vetailic, Jõlmian, and Jahnen.
Drevlyana is home to the original settlments of the !Slavic people, with evidence of civilization being dated back to 32,000 BC. The !Slavic tribes of the area were all united under the banner of definitelynotKievan Rus around 880 AD, and at it's height included territories of modern day Drevlyana, Poicary, Argea, and the Aitic Union. The state of definitelynotKievan Rus ruled over these lands up until the 16th century, when the kingdom was fragmented and fell into years of war between the powers that came to be. The wars between the powers lasted for XXX years, until the Kingdom of Poicary invaded each of the powers in 17XX. After the invasion, each tribe was annexed into the kingdom and subjected to years of subjugation. The area was especially hit hardest during the 1910-1912 Poicarian drought, which became known in Drevlyana as the TBD. During this time, various leaders in the territories came together to envision a union for each !Slavic ethnicity, which they named Drevlyana. Although a revolt was in the stages of being planned, the Poicarian Civil War and the First Great War began in 1913. In 1914, the independence of the State of Drevlyana was declared in the midst of the chaos in Poicary. Fighting against the kingdom began shortly after, with uprisings in cities such as Stryi and Bilokurakyne succeeding against the already overstretched Poicarian forces. Between 1918 and 1940, Drevlyana continued fighting off forces from the newly formed Aitic Union. Various purges also took place in this era against various ethnic minorities and political opponents.
Once the Second Great War began, Drevlyana aligned itself with the Second Adtrus Pact. The state was invaded shortly after, and fell in 194X after CIW forces took over the capital. The rest of the country fell soon after, and once the war was over Drevlyana became a satellite state of the CIW.The state was reestablished as the Drevlyanan People's Republic, and existed until 1991 when the Yellow Revolution took place and ousted the dictator Dmytro Kovalenko. Unable to suppress the revolution while fighting in Poicary at the same time, an agreement was made between the Aitic Union and the new Republic of Drevlyana that, as long as the latter remained neutral, the Aitics would not intervene. The current constitution was adopted in 1995, and the government has continued drifting towards alignment with Vierzland and Poicary, causing friction with the Aitics which continues worsening today.
