Nasovyczas

The Socialist Republic of Nasovych (Nasovyczas: Asof Nasovyczas Soszeyalist Reyapopeblik), informally known as Nasovycza, was a small nation located on the northwest peninsula of Talasi, Abexilas. Founded on socialist, democratic, and Xeroist ideals, Nasovycza was home to 40 citizens before the Nasovycza Revolution, falling to 10 due to backlogs in citizen registration. The country was a vassal of Yimmu-Audal. In Summer 63 VE, the country collapsed and was annexed into the Yimmu-Audal, renamed to the City of Quetraya and split in three claims
== History ==
=== Pre-History ===
==== DonFuer Rule ====
Before Nasovycza, DonFuer used to claim the land that is now Nasovycza, simply called "Shop." Within the territory was a store maintained by MasqRaid, along with a large wheat farm.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295514504073226/1259549971846533202
==== The Charter ====
On the Spring of 24 VE, The Charter was written, outlining the powers of the government.Asof Nasovycza Gasoveyarymeyayt - The Government of Nasovycza - Google Docs It was determined that Leotray, formerly an Arch Skylord from DonFuer, and Jacov Alexandervich, former Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kassylia would be the Secretary Generals of the new nation. It was also decided that other government positions outlined in The Charter would be filled when Nasovycza obtained land, gained a decent population, and held elections.
==== Land Purchase and Treaty with DonFuer ====
Due to the shop's financial failure, DonFuer looked to recoup its costs by selling the land. During the Summer of 24 VE, DonFuer sold the land to Leotray and Jacov Alexandervich, giving the new nation a home.
Shortly after, a Mutual Defense Treaty was signed between DonFuer and the ANSS. Jonas Jaegermann, Arch Skylord of DonFuer signed the treaty along with the new General Secretaies of Nasovycza: Leotray and Jacov Alexandervich.DonFuer & Asof Nasovyczas Szeroist Stateya (ANSS) - Google Docs
By the Fall of 24 VE, the claim was officially handed over to the General Secretaries, marking the official founding of Nasovyczas.
=== The Age of Foundation (24 VE - 26 VE) ===
==== Founding of Szareyad ====
During the Winter of 25 VE, Nasovycza had its first taste of the democratic process with the naming of their city. The front running names were Valasor (Nasovycza: Pride) and Szareyad (Nasovycza: Shared). The city was named Szareyad the Summer of that year, after gathering 11 votes compared to Valasor's 9 votes.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295514504073226/1260721729341493348https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295514504073226/1261488841244540998
That winter also marked the start of the nation's first major project: the building of the city center and Nasovycza Capital Building. Construction of the main building completed in the fall, with only the star remaining.
==== Joining the Union of Democratic Socialist Republics (UDSR) ====
The UDSR approached Nasovycza in the Spring of 25VE to extend an invitation into their union.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295514504073226/1261118500441952316 The UDSR was in search of other socialist nations to band together and support each other during times of need. The government accepted the invitation, with the caveat that Nasovycza remain independent until the people were able to vote on UDSR membership, concerned that UDSR membership would erase Nasovycza before it even began. 
==== The First Cabinet Election ====
The General Secretary announced in the Summer of 25VE that the election of the Cabinet. This representative body would pass and enforce laws for the nation. Four seats were up for the taking. The list of candidates included Kaitlyn, Capps, D1, Red, Jarlie, Mozart, and Kmends.
===== The Campaign =====
Kaitlyn, D1, Red, and Kmends would form the nation's first political party, the People's Front of the Liberation of Crafters (PFLC). Their platform focused on a balance in UDSR-Nasovycza relations, the creation of militias for the country's defense, the facilitation of a multi-party leftist state, friendly diplomacy with neighboring nations, and making the General Secretary an elected position.
Capps represented the Independent Workers Party of the Union of Democratic Socialist Republics (IWP). He shared similar positions as the PFLC, differing with them by supporting more federalization into the UDSR, having a formal military, and the support of socialist countries across Abexilas.
Mozart was not a part of any party, but aligned himself with the PFCL, with a focus on foreign policy. Jarlie was not a part of any party, but largely supported similar policies as other candidates, with a focus on being displayed on maps.
The Campaign was mostly a calm, diplomatic affair, as candidates debated in elections and spoke to the citizenry. However, during one of the debates, General Secretary Jacov Alexandervich claimed that candidate Kmends "hated the government." Red and D1, who were debating at the time, rushed to their fellow party member's defense.
===== Results =====
Official government vote tallies were released in the Spring of 26 VE and handed the victory to Red, Kaitlyn, Capps, and Kmends, giving the PFLC a majority. Candidates had to earn a plurality of votes for a given seat.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1261033237585592431/1262502744456171530
===== PFLC Contesting of the Results =====
The PFLC contested the results of the election, claiming the government said that the vote would be rank-choice. They shared their count of the vote, changing the winners to Red, Kaitlyn, D1, and Mozart. This count maintains a PFLC majority.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1261033963120623679/1262517286556667964
The government began to debate on whether or not to go with the original results or the results shown by the PFLC. Until then, The Cabinet would continue to begin to start debating amongst each other and the Secretary Generals for the countries first laws.
=== Political Conflict and The Nasovycza Revolution (26 VE - 27 VE) ===
==== Gridlock in the Government ====
Debating on policy within the government turned into political gridlock. The Cabinet rejected most, if not, all proposals from Secretary General Alexandervich, while Alexandervich refused to acknowledge the power of The Cabinet. No laws would be passed and arguing between the Cabinet and Alexandervich would turn public.
One channel of the public forum became the source of debate. A channel known as "No Government" was created as a place for citizens to discuss things without the government listening in. Alexandervich feared that the forum would allow for a coup to form without his knowledgehttps://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1262465003051814912 and attempted to enter the forum. Citizens were outraged and pushed him out. Alexandervich threatened to shut down the forum, leading to calls for the Secretary General to become an elected position. He defended his position, stating: "I have been in countries with worst (sic) leadership then this."https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1262471313134452886 Alexandervich finally backed off the citizenry, stating, "Fine, go back, I give up. There's no controlling the people." The statement sparked further outrage, even drawing condemnation from Secretary General Leotray.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1262472045107744778
Adding to the chaos, the country missed payment on its country claim, causing confusion within Nasovycza. The Cartography Guild publicly called out Nasovycza, reminding them of their lack of claim.https://discord.com/channels/750726239723061338/878033914235617300/1263148251717177427
==== Alexandervich Resigns ====
In the Summer of 26 VE, the Cabinet passes the Accountable Democracy Act, which makes the General Secretary an elected position.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1262897406601728070/1262897873956245594 Alexandervich resigns shortly after its passage, abdicating his position as General Secretary and taking the ceremonial position in the Council of Advisors.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295514504073226/1262898554775670877 He would claim to continue working in foreign policy, despite not having the authority to do so, generating more anger. He would blame Cabinet Member Red for his resignation.
In the Fall, The Cabinet passed a few more laws and Alexandervich expressed his distaste with the Accountable Democracy Act, claiming that the country was now capitalist, causing more public arguing with him.
==== The Yimmu-Audal Diplomatic Incident and the Government in Exile ====
During the Winter of 27 VE, the Emperor's Regent of the Yimmu-Audal, Centurion, arrived in Nasovycza, with a message of frustration.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259295903374643280/1263521173971402795 The Yimmu-Audal had been working on a treaty with Alexandervich for over a year and were nearing a signing. When they called for a representative of Nasovycza, both Alexandervich and Cabinet Member Kaitlyn answered the call. They both argued their claim to represent Nasovycza in the Yimmu-Audal public forum, with Alexandervich claiming to have been ousted in a coup and is the "government in exile." https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263561223052595232 The Yimmu-Audal granted Alexandervich political asylum until they could figure out what had happened in Nasovycza.
Nasovycza turned inward to discuss the matter. The Cabinet demanded that Alexandervich publicly acknowledge his resignation and relinquish his remaining power.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263526250807558326https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263525398008959077 Riots broke out, with Alexandervich barricading himself in his office in the Capitol. Suddenly, Varshapet of the Republic of Kassylia and Generální Tajník in Voždravia, Luka Petrović, arrived to the country. He said that the Republic of Kassylia had been asked by Alexandervich to recognize his government in exile.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263558401590562839 He acted as a mediator between the Nasovycza government and Alexandervich's government in exile.
Alexandervich's main claim was that The Charter that the country was founded on was illegal because he never approved it,https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263566896985538601 despite deriving his powers from the Charter. The Cabinet then argued that if The Charter was illegal, then Alexandervich was never General Secretary and had no power.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263567695211659305 In addition, the Cabinet agreed that Nasovycza never existed and that the only claim Alexandervich had was the land claim.
==== The Nasovycza Revolution ====
Once the realization that Nasovycza never legally existed was accepted, the Cabinet decided to establish Nasovycza officially,https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263568340497203281 grandfathering in the Charter and laws passed previouslyhttps://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263568405332623441. Alexandervich refused to acknowledge the new government, invoking his legal claim on the land.https://discord.com/channels/1259291312797126696/1259296050569678950/1263569618027548813
The Nasovycza government fled to the UDSR capital in Novaterra, taking its people and treasures with them. The UDSR began preparing for an invasion of Nasovycza, designating Alexandervich as a terrorist with orders to kill on sight.https://discord.com/channels/1211502783866470420/1215455096758870066/1263588823569272995 The Cabinet, not wanting war, looked for other means to securing the land of Nasovycza. 
After speaking to international lawyers, The Cabinet decided to seize the land, destroying Alexandervich's claim and replacing it with a new one, using personal funds and UDSR funds. Overnight, without alerting Alexandervich, the people of Nasovycza fundraised and took over the claim. By the morning, the main buildings were taken and the UDSR took claim over the land.
==== Revolution Outcomes ====
After the land was taken from Alexandervich, he ended his government in exile and gave the public forum to General Secretary Leotray. The UDSR lifted their Kill on Sight order, but still demands his arrest.PandaFan Arrest Warrant - Google Docs Due to the very public events of the revolution, he had a hard time finding a country to take him and has turned into a pariah. He would take refuge in Kassylia.
Yimmu-Audal and Helmaria recognized the Cabinet and Secretary General Leotray as the government of Nasovycza.
Nasovycza's officially becomes a part of the UDSR's land claims. After the replacement of the claim, the territory of the country shrunk and a large backlog of citizens are in need of being approved for the claim.
From the Spring of 27 VE to the Fall, the government and the people took a breath to restructure and rebuild the country. The government began to prepare to appoint ministers. Residents began building new buildings, such as a potions store.
=== The UDSR/DonFuer Diplomatic Conflict (28 VE - 29 VE) ===
==== Condemnation from DonFuer, Yimmu-Audal, and Lenoria ====
In Spring of 28 VE, DonFuer and Yimmu-Audal publically denounced the UDSRhttps://discord.com/channels/750726239723061338/1222961171372576838/1265342382375829584, backing Alexandervich. Their list of demands include:
* The removal of USDR influence from the north of Talasi. 
* The handover of the territory of Nasovyczas to a local government, and the return of Pandafan (Alexandervich) to that nation.
* The removal of the government of the nation of Nasovyczas of the following members 
** Kaitlyn 
** Red 
** D1 
** Jizzner
Lenoria also denounced the UDSR, with their only demand being the removal of UDSR President Jizzner.https://discord.com/channels/750726239723061338/1222961171372576838/1265360339424252017
The condemnations came to a shock to the Nasovyczas public and government, unaware of the UDSR's attempts to expand into Yimmu-Audal's vassels and UDSR President Jizzner's poor relations with other countries.
==== The Raiding of Nasovyczas and Negotiations ====
Shortly after the condemnation, a show of force by DonFuer appeared in Novaterra and in Nasovycza.https://discord.com/channels/750726239723061338/1222961171372576838/1265461779757137971 In Nasovycza, DonFuer, accompanied by Alexandervich, killed several civilians and forced people into their homes, demanding surrender or war. 
D1 and Leotray began to negotiate with the Yimmu-Audal and DonFuer. Nasovycza's main concern was not allowing Alexandervich return to Nasovyczas. 
==== Outcomes ====
During the Summer of 28 VE, President Jizzner resigned from the UDSR after being pressured by his government. After resigning, he stole the entire savings of the UDSR and dissolved the country claim. The UDSR is still negotiating with DonFuer.
Nasovyczas and Yimmu-Audal reached a deal. Nasovycza left the UDSR and during the Fall of 29 VE, the became a vassal state under the Yimmu-Audal. Nasovyczas will maintain some autonomy, while also assisting Yimmu-Audal diplomatically and militarily.

Many citizens fled Nasovycza for other nations. Alexandervich, after being dropped by DonFuer and Yimmu-Audal, moved to Ischanor.
=== Yimmu-Audal Vassalship (29 VE - 63 VE) ===
Note: due to The Great Nasovyczas Fire of 54 VE, records and sources are no longer available. Recounted history from here out will be anecdotal and without source.

==== The Great Nasovyczas Fire (Summer of 54 VE) ====
During the Summer of 54 VE, Former General Secretary Leotray fell asleep while reading the historical archives of Nasovyczas. A lit candle fell over and set the building ablaze, destroying the entire historical record of Nasovyczas, including its Constitution, Senate records, and correspondence with foreign and internal entities. Leotray disappeared and was presumed dead.
The loss of the historical and cultural record was a devastating loss for the country of Nasovyczas. Years of rebuilding the country were suddenly gone with the destruction of the historical record. Many citizens also perished in the fire. Those that survived decided to pack their bags and leave to different countries. Some speculate that Leotray intentionally burned down the records, but there is no evidence this occurred.
==== The Second Period of Stagnation (54 VE - 63 VE) ====
From 54 VE to 63 VE, Nasovyczas completely stagnated, worse than the First Period. Materials were taken by the Yimmu-Audal, including the materials from the buildings.
=== The End of Nasovyczazs ===
==== Annexation into the Yimmu-Audal (Summer of 63 VE) ====
The Yimmu-Audal, burdened by the financial loss of maintaining vassalization of Nasovyczas, seized the land and offered it to the son of Former GenSec David Dozkha, Dmitri Dozkha. Dmitri, who had fled Nasovyczas to live in the United States of Adramis, decided to take the offer, in the hopes of preserving the legacy of his culture.
Upon returning to Szareyad, however, he witnesses the in-progress demolition of the city. Distraught at the sight and realizing that there would be no real way to preserve Nasovy culture, Dmitri relinquished his power and the land to the Yimmu-Audal, ending Nasovyczas' precarious independence. 
The nation of Nasovyczas would become the City of Quetraya. All buildings, except for a small fishing house left behind by DonFuer and the Leograd Seaport, were demolished and then Yimmu-Audal Broke the City of Quetraya into three Separate territories the City of Quetraya, Bassetara and Kakanza Kepp. Former Nasovyczas Senator Efrem Kynex Rochelle was appointed Taxiarch of Bassetara and it is rumored that Nasovyczas Former GenSec Leotray now resides in Bassetara.
== Geography ==
Nasovycza is situated on the northwest peninsula of Talasi, featuring a varied landscape that supports its small but diverse population. The territory runs along a beach. The city is situated at the top of a hill. 
Nasovycza borders three nations: The Helmeria Empire to the west, Basharulate of Iranori to the south, and Yimmu-Audal to the east.
The country's geography had played a crucial role in its development and strategic importance within the region.

=== Foreign Relations ===
Nasovycza maintains official and non-official relations with multiple different countries and organizations.
==== DonFuer ====
DonFuer was the former owner of the land claim that is now Nasovycza. They sold the land to Leotray and Jacov Alexandervich and signed a Mutual Defense Treaty. Secretary General Leotray was formerly an Arch Skylord of DonFuer.
During the UDSR/DonFuer Diplomatic Conflict, DonFuer denounced Nasovycza's inclusion in the UDSR, demanding Alexandervich's return and vasselization. They also occupied Szareyad during an attempted raid, accompanied with Alexandervich. Several Nasovycza people were killed. 
==== Yimmu-Audal ====
Nasovycza maintains a strained relationship with Yimmu-Audal. Alexandervich was working on a Non-Aggression treaty before he was resigned. At the beginning of the Nasovycza Revolution, they housed Alexandervich and his government in exile until they learned of his willful resignation. They then recognized the government's claim on Nasovycza.
After the UDSR/DonFuer Diplomatic Conflict, Yimmu-Audal and Nasovycza negotiated a favorable treaty that would allow Nasovycza to maintain some autonomy while being a vassal of Yimmu-Audal.
==== The Helmerian Empire ====
Nasovycza enjoys friendly correspondence with Helmeria and share a road system that connects the two countries. In the Winter of 25 VE, a Mutual Defense Pact was signed.Helmeria-ANSR MDP - Google Docs During the Nasovycza Revolution, they recognized the government's claim on Nasovycza.
Due to the being a vassal of Yimmu-Audal, Nasovycza no longer maintains a MDP with Helmeria. They continue to share friendly relations.
==== Republic of Kassylia/Voždravija ====
Nasovycza has no official relations with the Republic of Kassylia or Voždravija, however, the leader of these nations, Luka Petrović, mediated debate just before the Nasovycza Revolution. Kassylia allowed Alexandervich to reside in the country after the Revolution. Alexandervich was formerly Deputy PM of Kassylia.
==== The Konerich of Selidoar ====
Selidoar is in solidarity with the Nasovycza cause after it's vassalization into the Yimmu-Audal. Selidoarian Richter Henry Deitscher I holds dual citizenship between Ischanor and Nasovycza. 
After the UDSR/DonFuer Diplomatic Conflict, Selidoar passed legislation that supported the Nasovycza citizens and offered land for refugees of Nasovycza.
== Economy ==
Nasovycza was a socialist republic. There are no taxes for the citizenry and the country had no major exports. Small stores doted the land selling cheap materials. 
The People had the right to have a say on how land was used. The People can build whatever they want on empty land, but The People can vote to have the structure removed.
== Demographics ==
TBD
== Culture and Society ==
The Nasovycza cares deeply for fairness, democracy, and free speech. They are willing to fight politically and violently to protect those rights.
Regularly, people will help others without asking for payment. It was custom to reject payment in Nasovycza, although they employer will likely still pay you.
There are three businesses in Nasovycza: Mozart's Store (stone and cobblestone), Fishing Company of the Nasovycza Working People, and the State Casino.
A local paper, The Szareyad Times, was based here, reporting on local news and relevant international stories.
