Vostokchevnya

Vostokchevnya, officially the Workers Republic of Vostokchevnya, also referred to as Asof Vostokczevnya Freyaeya Kasommopeneya in Nasovyczas, is a nation in Abexilas. It is located in an area known by its citizens as "The iceberg" because it is an iceberg floating in a vast sea. Vostokchevnya is dotted with platforms and buildings due to the limited space on the home iceberg. Vostokchevnya is officially anarchist, but functions more like a social liberal republic, it repeatedly faced accusations of authoritarianism in the past, mainly from Nivistratan political leaders.
== History ==
=== Origin ===
It is said that the Vostokiyan peoples are derived from a nation called Vostokgrad, which formerly occupied an area gifted to them by the government of Mockrea. Yet relations quickly soured after accusations of Mockrean authoritarianism and anti Vostoki rhetoric, the first Vostokgrad revolution quickly broke out, with several high ranking players such as Alexctinn and IAmIllegal joining the revolt, it was quickly put down by Mockrean Authorities though. For a short time an insurgency lead by Uhu23h3, with assistance from Swedish_Pigeon, acted to commit acts of vandalism and violence against Mockrean officials, this included ambushing political leaders, placing signs and killing almost the entire Vostokgrad turtle population. A second major revolt also began, but this was put down even faster then the first. One major event was IdioticMonke (Who was named as governor by the Mockrean administration) being ousted from power by a protest staged by several key citizens. All was not to last though, as after an unsuccessful 3rd revolt, the Vostokiyan peoples fled Mockrean soilwith IdioticMonke remaining and renaming Vostokgrad to the province of Idoria. And so, three new settlements were established in a vast tundra near to Aethos and Ischanor, Vsevograd, Vostokgrad and Port Krasnyy. The three towns functioned well for a time, until one player, Uhu23h3, found issue with a referenda held to determine the countries ideology (Slight debate was raging over if the nation should be Social Democratic or Syndicalist) And so, as the mayor of Vostokgrad, he declared independence. He was quickly defeated by Vostok Republic forces, lead by Mister_Bunnys, and was exiled from the young nation. He quickly found an iceberg, and alongside IdioticMonke, the former leader of Idoria Province and mayor of Mockrean Vostok, declared the new nation of Vostokchevnya.
The nation quickly grew in size, with influential players such as getlostnoob (currently the favourite to win the Chancellor elections) joining the nation. By the end of its first week, it had around 10 members. With work on a government system being led by getlostnoob, who had been promoted to being the minister of culture, another major event to occur was the marriage of DukeOFish and MysticYourKOWK, this brought the mercenary group of Potilov 2.0 and Vostokchevnya into a tentative alliance. Vostokchevnya had also entered negotiations with Kropotkingrad, another small anarchist commune. Troubles quickly arised though, from the relationship Uhu had with his old nation of Vsevograd, after a trip there, which was supposed to be peaceful, violence erupted as former Vostokgrad member ChrisJonsp seeked quarrel with IdioticMonke over job offers in Vsevograd, After a long battle in which several of ChrisJonsps allies were called, including Swedish_Emo_Kid, Uhu fled back to Vostokchevnya, suspecting Monke as being a pro-vsevo agent, he instantly fired him from all of his roles, and exiled him from Vostokchevnya, this was condemmned by many as authoritarian and petty.
=== getlostnoob Administration ===
getlostnoob, took the role of chancellor to a group of both Vsevograders and Vostokchevnyans, however this was quickly disrupted by chants from the Vsevograd Crowd, calling for the immediate execution of uhu, later in the same day, violence broke out as the Vsevograd Forces chased Uhu, where he was knocked unconscious, the government of Vostokchevnya, now let by getlostnoob, reached a peace settlement, where a tribute would be paid out to the Vsevograders, they also pledged to contact the Union of Democratic Socialist Republics (UDSR) if the Vsevograders returned for more. This turned out not to be needed however, because only a few hours later the Kejafros Defense League was established between Vostokchevnya, Vsevograd under the leadership of the Republic of Nivistrata and the Diarchy of Fjalla. This was considered by many as the first major success of Fgetlostnoob's leadership, a clear contrast to the isolationism of the previous government. In the coming days getlostnoob began work on fundamentally restructuring the government of Vostokchevnya and beginning work on larger building projects, getlostnoob however did not yet have full power, as former chancellor Uhu had went missing, and so he was unable to fully give getlostnoob all of his roles, this lasted for an entire week until getlostnoob finally gained full power from the uhu administration.
=== The Jizzner Crisis ===
Former president Jizzner of the UDSR, after facing a number of threats from a coalition of Donfuer, Yimmu-Audal and Lenoria, resigned from his role. However, he still claimed ownership of the UDSR, prompting a crisis, where after an approachment from Vladistan, the UDSR was officially disbanded. On the same day after a Referendum, Vostokchevnya officially declared independence.
=== Formation and collapse of the United Front ===
Most non ACL parties united in a coalition, unoficially headed by the Vostokchevnyan National Party, to provide a more effective opposition to the All Consolidationists. The front quickly grew, until the reformation of the VNP into the National Accelerationist Party, the other parties split away and formed the Free Front, who immediately elected PrinceDank as their election candidate
=== August Elections - ===
The campaigns leading up to the August Elections in Vostokchevnya were highly heated. With the All Consolidationists led by getlostnoob championing their past successes in government and their desire to continue said progress, the Accelerationists headed by Uhu32h2 vowing to forward progress by any means necessary, and the Free Front, who democratically elected PrinceDank as their leader embarked on an ambitious campaign in which they declared their intent to put full focus on the 'Glacipontaj Project' Fierce debate erupted following former chancellor, uhu23h2 dropping out of the race, and then reentering as the accelerationists gained votes. Him claiming to want to 'represent the will of the people' Getlostnoob however quickly ejected the party from the race, leading to its voters gravitating to the free front. The Parliamentary election results came in, with 78 percent of citizens voting for the free front and only 22 percent voting for the all-consolidationists. 
=== The PrinceDank Administration ===
PrinceDank officially took power on the 16th, following a Referendum held to declare him as the winner following his landslide in the parliamentary elections. This was marked by the return of Vostokgrad war veteran IAmIllegal, however this tentative peace and prosperity was not to last.
==== The Days of Blood ====
News quickly came out from Mockrean King Pigeon, that both PrinceDank and IAmIllegal had taken part in a raid against Mockrea, killing a citizen and leaving quickly after. Emperor Nihilis of Aeslandri threatened war, with Illegal and Dank being forced to pay 20k to the victim of their attacks and to stand trial in Mockrea. Another shock overcome the young nation as former minister of defence Dragonsknight reported, claiming that after giving a referendum to the Seawolves they stated they would be 'Going to war with Vostokchevnya' This quickly created alarm amongst the Vostokchevnyan government, with key figures such as Uhu and PrinceDank criticising Dragons not alerting the nation of his actions beforehand. Dragons then left the nation, and IAmIllegal was appointed as his successor. It was later revealed that the Seawolves diplomat was in fact completely joking, which sent the Vostok government into further discussions over their current strategy of a small well equipped military.
==== The dawn of New-Vostokgrad ====
After a long process which involved many names being drafted up by citizens of Vostokchevnya, the name New-Vostokgrad was decided on, due to Vostokchevnya now being proclaimed as an official nation, for their capital city. 
=== PrinceDanks Second term ===
After another election a month later, despite his controversies, PrinceDank was elected leader for a second time by a landslide, making him the first leader of Vostokchevnya to ever win re-election and serve multiple terms as chancellor 
=== November Elections ===
The November elections occurred after beloved chancellor PrinceDank announced his retirement from politics after serving 3 terms, the longest in Vostokchenvyan history. In the following election, People’s party candidate IAmIlegal beat former chancellor Uhu and the mockrean funded Vanguardist party in the chancellor elections, despite losing in the parliamentary elections to uhu. Illegal, who is currently also serving as leader of Vostokgrad, ran after PrinceDank suggested it to him, so as to strengthen Vostok unity. 
== Government ==
The government of Vostokchevnya is run under a parliamentary socialist system, despite the states identification as being anarchist, there is an elected head of state in the form of the Chancellor, who then appoints a "Councillor of the Abexilan seas" who has control of the navy and economic relations with other countries. The Councillor also has a free seat in the Parliament, which is planned to be built at some point to accomadate the growing population of Vostokchevnya. Autocracy was a real concern within the Vostokchevnyan government when it was under the rule of Uhu32h2, but since then the nation has largely functioned without issue.
The main positions within the government are the Minister of Culture, who deals with issues relating to the culture and lore, the
Minister of Economy, who deals with economy and infastructure and the Minister of Justice, who deals with issues relating to law, order and policing within Vostokchevnya.
Vostokchevnya is largely autonomous in its internal affairs, with the only real influence in its government from outside being the Kejafros Democracy League.
== Economy ==
The Economy of Vostokchevnya operates under a planned system, in which the government is responsible for most choices made in the economy, it is largely dependent on outside markets due to the sparse nature of the home island. The main trades of the nation are wood, stone and netherrack from the colony of Vulcan Vostok, which is de jure part of the Nether, but is de-facto under Vostokchevnyan Rule. The economy is run under a largely state controlled system, but citizen-owned enterprise is still permitted, and the process of establishing a buisiness is planned to be expanded in coming months. 
== International relations ==
Vostokchevnya is a member of the Kejafros Democracy League (KDL). Its main allies are the other member states, as well as Nivistrata, Voždravija, the Halinn Black Army, and informally Novakrasny. The nation in fact has no enemies due to its relative isolation from major conflict, the one major international crisis the republic was brought into was the Jizzner Crisis where almost the entire UDSR was brought to war wth Yimmu-Audal.
== Religion ==
Most Vostokiyans identify as aetheist or irreligious, but there was a former leader who acted as the sole prophet for Lusolism, a religion believing in a moon god trapped by traitorous deities (That former chancellor being Uhu) The government however officially recognises no religions, but also doesn't take a stance against them.
== Lands ==
=== New Vostokgrad ===
New Vostokgrad is the capital and only city of Vostokchevnya. Founded the day Vostokchevnya officially became a nation, with the financial aid of IAmIllegal, it is named after the town of Vostokgrad, from which the founders of Vostokchevnya originated from, with many considering Vostokchevnya the direct successor of Vostokgrad. NewVostokgrad currently houses over 20 citizens, the largest in the KDL by far, and all of Vostokchevnyas government, foreign and economic policy being centered here. Despite ongoing construction efforts, NewVostokchevnya is notoriously not very aestheticly pleasing, due to the amounts of random buildings with different styles built at will and for efficiency. Despite this, New Vostokgrad is attractive to immigrants due to its potential and the recent annexation of Nivistrata (formally Vostok), which has strong cultural ties with them and Vostokchevnyas people, with both being Vostoki.
=== Oceani ===
Oceani is a Vostoki protectorate in Abex North west. Built on a platform in the middle of the ocean, hence its name, it came to be a Vostoki vassal after a diplomatic journey incident where Oceani co-founder and Vostokchevnya resident Doge was accused by PrinceDank of stealing from him. After PrinceDank pressed Doge on the issue, Doge attacked him and fled to his home nation of Oceani. After PrinceDank placed a bounty on his head, player Uhu went to Oceani in search of Doge. When uhu arrived in Oceani, it’s leader and founder Tom negotiated with uhu, leading to Oceani accepting Vassalisation and Protection from Vostokchevnya. After another agreement, where Doge agreed to repay Dank, he was allowed back into Vostok and his house was returned.
