Noctis

== Introduction ==
Noctis (Nox: Ноктіс) is a country in eastern Europe. Kiev is Noctis' capital and largest city, as well as its foremost economic center.
== History ==
=== Formation (2018-2019) ===
Noctis was established after the People's Front won a huge majority of seats (142/156) in the Verkhovna Rada in the 2018 parliamentary elections. Vlad Ivanov, the head of the People's Front, was also elected President. Because of the election's immediate and drastic impact on politics, it has been considered a peaceful coup d'etat.
The People's Front's landslide has largely been attributed to their bold stances against both Russia and Europe. After the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine ceded many of its eastern, pro-Russian provinces to Russia. Ukraine's remaining provinces became strongly anti-Russian in the wake of the war, as well as strongly anti-European because NATO did not aid them in the war. Vlad Ivanov emboided the people's attitudes, and led the People's Front to a historic landslide.
Ivanov's first act as president was to change the name of Ukraine to Noctis, and change the demonym Ukrainian to Nox. This act sparked international controversy, as nations disputed whether Ivanov had the power to change an ethnic demonym. The debate was never resolved, however the people of Noctis are almost universally referred to as Nox. Ukrainian people in other countries have been referred to as both Ukrainian and Nox.
Ivanov immediately brought about many reforms that centralized power in the hands of People's Front elites, effectively making Noctis a single-party state.
=== Rise To Power (2020-) ===
In the years following its formation, Noctis, while failing at post-war economic recovery, pursued military advancement and strategic geopolitical relations. This was best exemplified by president Ivanov's early support of the dictatorial regime of Israeli prime minister, and later Assyrian chancellor, Aaron Gaiz Emmam. Their relationship was strained during the Assyrian weapons crisis, when Noctis first flexed its geopolitical muscles in order to extract weapons from Assyria. The events were kept top secret, so the type and quantity of weapons remain unknown. Soon after the crisis, Nox-Assyrian relations were restored and made official via the Nox-Assyrian Imperial Cooperation Accords (Imperium).
