Hrabia

Hrabia (Hrabian: Грбіja, Hrbija), Officially the Hrabian Autonomous Province (Грбскіј Облäст Аóтоnомічnиј, Hrbskij Obläst Aótonomićnyj), is an autonomous Province of Sethris and formerly an independent Nation in Northern Katsura. It is situated largely within and around the Hollow Mountains, and on the coast of the Bay of Ogór to it's north. It borders the Sethrian Provinces of Rhovania and Appelkantse to the east and South and Raiyuna to the west. 
Following many sovereignty disputes between Sethrian and Hrabian officials, the parliament of the now defunct Hrabian Autonomous Republic declared independence during the "Ogorogorod Address". 
Hrabia is the homeland of the Indigenous Hrabic Peoples, who largely speak Hrabian. Hrabia is home to some 300,000 ethnic Hrabs and 50,000 non-hrabs. The Children of Ogór, a religion founded in Hrabia, is the dominant religion. Ogorogorod(Ogórogród) is the Capital and largest city in the region of Hrabia. 
== History ==
==== Early Period (2021-2022) ====
The first known Hrabian Settlement, Ogórovjec, first documented as Ogórowiec, was founded in October of 2021 following Ogóroнrb Päтyкović's settlement of the area. Archaeological evidence suggests Hrabic activity in the area extended far longer then what is concretely known. It is thought that Vinvuri were hunted for meat and pelt in early Hrabia. On October 19th 2021 Ogórovjec joined the Republic of Sethris following threats of war from the Sethrian leadership. Hrabian records during this time state that the first temple of Ogór, belonging to the Children of Ogór was built. 
With the intent of spreading the Children of Ogór and Hrabian influence abroad, many Hrabs traveled internationaly. A small population of Hrabs settled in the Rodinnbróki city of Azrielus, and were even allowed to construct a Temple of Ogór, dubbed the "Grand Temple of Ogór in Azrielus". Nearby, a Hrabian settlement was established called St. Augurksborg by Hrabo-Rodinbróki Jarl Ogórk Jarlović. During this time, Päтyкović, served in the Rodinnbróki Riddari council. St. Augurksborg was later razed by pillagers from Zhon. 
==== Hrabian Resurgence & First Attempted Republic (2022) ====
After a period of stagnation, Hrabian prominence in eldham fell. Ogórovjec was seemingly abandoned until the return of Päтyкović who had decided to once again take charge of the Hrabian people. The village of Ogórovjec was renamed to Ogórogród, meaning City of Ogór, and plans were drafted for a grand revitalization. Hrabian politician and community leader Onleóś Kannović became mayor of the nearby city Mechanica, although it was later returned to the original owner, Cёsar Samov. During this time, Sethrian officials had raided Ogórovjec for anything of value. After this event, the Hrabian national identity and separatist thought became prominent in Hrabian society. Päтyкović during this time ran in multiple Sethrian elections under "The Federalist Party of Sethris", unsuccessfully. 
Following the collapse of Rodinnbrók into the Ocean, control of Azrielus fell to the Golden Imperial Realm. It's Emporor, Conquestor, chose to ban Hrabians and the Children of Ogór from the city after receiving advice from the Sethrian Politician Vel-Mast Atreiyen, fearing that the Hrabian seperatist movement would spread to Azrielus. During this time the Hrabian Newspaper Hrbskoprvda(The Hrabian Truth) was founded by Päтyкović. 
==== Autonomy & Rise of Anastykov (Second republic) ====
In 2023, Päтyкović, once again demanded Independence. After expected denial, he then demanded a province, which was eventually granted during a major redrawing of Sethrian internal borders to better reflect demographics. This effort was led by Sethrian politician Gäles-Ifrik Gelärhisgir and Päтyкović. 
To contest the dominance over media held by the Sethrian newspaper "The Sethris Times", - owned and operated by Sethrian presidents and permanent members of government Gäles-Ifrik Gelärhisgir and Vel-Mast Atreiyen- Päтyкović and Onleóś Kannović founded HT as a Traveller's Tounge Sethrian political competitor. Kannović and Päтyкović viewed the Sethris times as government affiliated based on the elected and appointed positions it's owners held in the Sethrian government. Due to it's criticism of the Sethrian establishment and it's generally pro-Hrabian lens, HT is consistently criticized as biased, although HT refutes these claims by assuring that it in incapable of bias. 
Shortly after the advent of HT, Onleóś Kannović formed the Sethrian Rubber Duck Party and began campaigning in Sethrian Presidential elections on a platform of anti-corruption, democratization and revitalization. He used the Slogan "Don't Stand for Sethriscide". Kannović's party quickly became the most opposition party, often discrediting his main oponents as "members of the Elite" and "Insiders" because they were largely members of the unelected Sethrian Neire council. During one such election, Vel-Mäst Atreiyen, who was Sethris' Election Coordinator and vote counter, won the election by one vote. As a result of his position and well known dislike of Hrabs, Kannović accused Atreiyen of rigging the election. During one such election, Atreiyen accused the Rubber duck Party of election fraud on the basis that citizens who never formally submitted citizenship applications but had been living in Hrabia longer then most Sethrians in Sethris. 
Päтyкović, Mayor of Ogorogorod devoted his time to construction. He designed and began the construction of a New Grand Temple of Ogór to replace the undersized original temple built in the towns early days. Päтyкović was assassinated on the 21st of March, 2023 in a street robbery from unknown robbers. His position as mayor of Ogórogród fell vacant, and Kannović assumed the role of defacto leader of the Hrabian people. Kannović reformed the Province of Hrabia into the Hrabian Autonomous Republic and issued it a new flag. On June 17th, an election was held to decide a new Mayor of Ogórogród and Premier of the New Autonomous Republic. Pјoкr Anäsтyкović, who had completed the Grand temple of Ogór, won the election, taking power in Ogórogród. Anäsтyкović and Kannović, with the help of some foreign volunteers, officially requested Hrabian independence before the Sethrian Neire council, who rejected the all their proposals. 
==== Independence (July 2023-March 2024) ====
On July 29th, the Sethrian Republic was abolished in a coup-d'etat carried out by Sethris' king and his allies. Following the dissolution of the Republic, the Hrabian Autonomous Parliament declared its independence, and seceded from Sethris, even ceding territory that was not of Hrabian ethnic majority granted to Hrabia during internal border reforms.
====== Revolution ======
Following the Declaration of independents, Hrabian Collectivist revolutionaries took to the streets of Ogórogród to take control of the nation. Anastykovich, leader of the provisional government, personally lead the march on the Parliament, which ended in a non-violent hand over and raising of the Hrabian flag. 
====== Attempted Democratization and Assassination Attempts ======
During the 400 year anniversary of the City of Ogororgorod, Anastykov attempted to announce that a new constitution for the now independent republic would be quickly signed. The event was derailed when Sethrian bandits attacked, resulting in what would be called the "Ogorohrab Paatykovich square Massacre", which saw dozens of casualties. After law enforcement and the Hrabian Guard Drove the bandits out of the City, Anastykov tried to salvage the event, before being shot in the head by another assasin perched on a rooftop. Hrabian news sources claimed he suffered "A healthy amount of brain damage". He would later go on to write a 40 page rant accusing the Sethrian government of sending the assassins, especially because many Sethrians present at the event did not help put down the bandit attack. 
=== Glanra War ===
Following a take over of Sethrian Territory by a group calling itself G.L.A.N.R.A, Exciled Hrabian Terrorist Onleus Kannovich immerged to take credit for the organization's actions, as the real organization's leader, one of the above mentioned Sethrian Bandits, Skorm, refused to. The group's aggressive attack on Sethrian land had it labeled a Terrorist Organization by many international governments, and a Sethrian attack on Glanra, bolstered by an international force of counter-terrorist forces, led by Hrabia and the LCS, the Battle of Ystkalü saw Glanran positions overrun and it's command structure quickly collapsed because it's leadership underestimated Sethris' and its allies potency. The war entirely ended at the Siege of Chrysix, where the remaining fighters for the Glanran cause were starved out and forced to surrender. 
=== Coup and Maksim’s Presidental Term ===
Following the Capture of Kannovich, plans were made to have him be publically executed. During the Event, Anastykov would also sign a New Hrabian Constitution, declaring the creation of the Third Hrabian Republic. The Third Hrabian Republic would last exactly 43 seconds before Anastykov ordered the Death of Kannovich. Instead of firing on Kannovich, the Hrabian Firing squad led by General Alexejev Maksim fired on Anastykov, Killing him and later Kannovich. This was a coup'etat, where Maksim would denounce Anastykov and instead sign a new, far more democratic constitution, resulting in the creation of the Fourth Hrabian Republic. 
The new republic would hold elections with multiple parties such as the Maksimist Party of Hrabia (MPH), Hrabian People's Front (HPF), and the Movement For The Restoration of The Third Hrabian Republic Under The Benign Primiership of The Corpse of Pjokr Anastykov (POTCOPA), with Maksim winning them by small margins. The president would become heavily inspired by Xeroism during his term, as he would abolish private businesses and racial rights differences, create a centralized economy, and rekindle the power of the Hrabian Parliament. He would institute the Children of Ogór as the state religion and would advocate with Sethris for a better relationship. The Hrabian People's Front and the POTCOPA would combine their efforts into the Hrabian Collectivist Initiative (HCI) to protest against the Maksimist Party of Hrabia and it supposed "Hrabophobic ideals", resulting in an increase in tensions between Maksimists and Collectivists that would boil over in an armed conflict know as the Maksim-Hrbzić Ogóric War. 
=== Sethrian Reannexation ===
The Maksim-Hrbzić Ogóric War consisted of only one battle, the Battle of Ogororgrod, lasted a week, was fought between the Hrabian Guard loyal to President Maksim and the Collectivist Revolutionaries led by Anäsтyкović's ideals and Hrbzić's HCI in the capital of the Fourth Hrabian Republic. Initially peaceful protests turned into a riot as protesters were influenced by the ghost of Anastykov, prompting President Maksim to call for help from Sethrian President Gelärhisgir. After Sethrian troops arrived, Maksim and General Lavestru swiftly ended the battle with the rebels surrendering at the Holy Temple of Ogór. This conflict resulted in Maksim's consent of Hrabian reannexation and the peacetime that you continue until the end of Eldham.
