Pannonia, officially the Pannonian Federation, mistakenly also referred to as Nova Hungaria or Greater Hungary is an sovereign state located in the in . It borders Poland to the North, Ukraine to the North-East, Romania to the East, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro to the South, the to the South-west, Slovenia, Austria and Italy to the West and the Czech Republic to the North-West. The country also surrounds Helikon. Pannonia has a population of approximately 46 million peopleSee also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population making it the 31st largest country in terms of population surpassing Argentina and following Spain. It has an area of 412 682 km2See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_area making it the 59th largest country surpassing Paraguay and following Iraq. The population density of Pannonia is roughly 112 people per square kilometreSee also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population_density on average, which is approximately eight times the average population density of the world. The capital and largest city of Pannonia is Baltorja with a population of approximately 3.6 million, and a metropolitan population of roughly 5.8 million. 
Pannonia has been inhabited for about ten-thousand years, and served as crossroads for ancient Romans for centuries. Following the arrival of the Hungarians in the late 9th century AD, the tribes launched several plundering campaigns in Western- and Southern-Europe before converting to Christianity. After that, the newly found kingdom quickly became a regional power, peaking in the 15th century under the rule of the Hunyadis. In less than a century, however, the country ended up being occupied by the Ottoman and Habsburg empires, and the area served as the main battleground between thems. Hungary was ceded to Austria according to the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, resulting in another 150 years of occupation. Hungarians have revolted against the Austrians several times before the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which created the Austro-Hungarian Empire that lasted until 1914 due to another revolution. This served as a casus belli for many European great powers to take side, which led to the outbreak of the First World War. Pannonia was declared an independent state in 1917. The First World War ended the following year, though peace treaties were signed until 1920. As a winner, Pannonia gained major lands, including Oltenia and Bosnia, and later solidified it's pacifist position. This was only until Germany launched a surprise attack, and forced the country to surrender in early-1941. Liberated through a series of uprisings, Pannonia only gained Trieste following the Second World War, which resulted in major protests scattered across the nation, many accusing the former allies of greed. The Green Revolution of 1954 solidified the power of the center-left, obliterated the far-right and led to Pannonia joining NATO in 1960 and the European Economic Community in 1973. In 1999, the Free City of Helikon gained independence from the country after a referendum, and the two countries retained good relations throughout the years following. 
Pannonia is a great power often noted for it's developed infrastructure, strong economy as well as the constant development of human rights and despite initially ranking low in regards of the latter, it is now often referred to as the "melting pot of Europe" due to the mixed demographics of the country. Pannonia is a member of several international organizations with the most notable ones being the European Union, the G20, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the United Nations. It is also a founder member of the Seven Stars Council. 
== Etymology==
Pannonia's name comes from the Roman province (see: Pannonia Provincia) whose name is derived from the Pannonii tribe, originally inhabiting the Drava River Basin. Their name is believed to come from the Proto-Indo-European root "pen-" (swamp, water, wet). 
==History of Pannonia==
===Pre-Hungarian era (33rd millenium BC - 895)===
The Pannonian basin has been populated for over 300,000 years, as proven with the fossils of "Samu", an early member of the Homo sapiens family.
The first owner of Pannonia was the Roman Empire, who obtained the land in the first century BC, though they only reached as far as Transdanubia. Under their rule, many modern-day settlements were founded in the area, including Gorsium (Tác), Sopianae (Pécs), Aquincum (part of Budapest today) and Castell (now part of Helikon). Roman reign ended in the area following the Hunnic invasions, who established their empire's center in the Pannonian basin, which collapsed in 455 AD following the death of Attila the Hun. 
Pannonia switched owners multiple times during the era of migration in Central-East Europe. First inhabited by Ostrogoths during the rule of the Roman Empire, the Avars invaded the territory in the 6th century. During that time, the land of Pannonia was not just inhabited by them but also by some slavic tribes who settled on the land. Later on, in the 8th century, the Frankish Empire would annex the land and march until reaching the river Danube. A group of romanized Celtic and Slavic people also lived on that land, speaking their very own Pannonian Romance language that would later go extinct with the arrival of the Hungarian tribes.
===The Principality of Hungary (895-1001)===
Following the arrival of the seven Hungarian tribes in the Carpathian-basin, the Principality of Hungary was declared. The conquest of the basin was preceded by the blood oath, which served as a pact between the leaders of the arriving tribes. Upon arrival, it was agreed on by historians that Svatopluk I persuaded the tribes to invade East Francia, which they ended up doing. While looting the area and invading the land, the newly settled tribes had the opportunity to see their future homeland's given resources. After their arrival in the basin, Hungarians invaded Bulgaria after being allied with the Byzantine Empire. While this happened, the Pechenegs', another nomadic tribe from the East, invaded Hungary. After years of fighting, Hungarians finally claimed the entirety of the Carpathian-basin in 907.
As a result of being a nomadic tribe, Hungarians started looting Western- and Southern-European settlements to the surprise of many, reaching as far as modern-Spain. They were feared by many, but not enough not to be fought. Hungarians had a very unique way of battling, which led to the famous saying "Lord save us from the arrows of Hungarians". These looting campaigns ended in the mid-10th century with the Battle of Augsburg in 955, when the Hungarians suffered a devastating defeat. Following that, Hungarian Grand Princes mainly focused on internal affairs. This peaked with Géza taking the position. He supported Christian missionaries from Western Europe, and also raised his son in Christian faith. He was baptised as well, though he still performed acts of pagan worship. 
=== Árpád dynasty (1001-1301)===
The Kingdom of Hungary was proclaimed in 1001 when Stephen I was crowned as the first king of the country, but only following the defeat of his pagan uncle Koppány. The king first ordered the building of new churches across the country and forced both pagan and Christian people to go to the nearest church every Sunday, otherwise they would've been punished. The second thing the king has done was the organization of education in Hungary. It was a requirement of children under an age to study until they reach a required age to go to universities. Stephen I died in 1038. He named Venetian Peter Orseolo as the new king, stating that Vazul was unsuitable for the throne. This statement led Vazul to start a revolution against the new king, but the revolt failed as his supporters were weaker than Peter's. As a punishment Vazul has been blinded and sent to prison. Peter continued to rule until 1040 when Samuel Aba gained the throne of Hungary, after finding that he's related to the Árpád dynasty. He ruled Hungary for 6 years when Peter came back to the throne and expelled Samuel Aba. At the same year, Peter expelled all pagan revolt across his country. Later on, the Holy Roman Empire demanded Hungary to become a vassal of it, however Peter refused the demands which resulted in a war between Hungary and the empire. Hungarian forces defeated the Holy Roman Empire's fleet at the Battle of Pozsony, and the empire retreated from Hungary forever.
The Kingdom of Hungary have had suffered from a major blow when the Mongolian Empire had invaded the country from the East. Following the defeat of the Hungarian army at Muhi, Béla IV had escaped to Croatia while being followed by the Mongolian army. Eventually, the king escaped to a small island at the Adriatic coast of Hungary, and the Mongolian army retreated from the kingdom in 1242 without any rational explanation being known as of 2020. The Mongols have killed many people and have destroyed many smaller villages, however the fortified cities like Fehérvár, Veszprém, Pannonhalma etc. had survived the campaign. The Hungarians came to the conclusion that if they wanted their country to be safer and harder to destroy, then they must build fortifications across Hungary.
Afterall, as it was expected, a second Mongol invasion occured in 1286, but this time the eastern forces weren't as strong as in the first wave. The Hungarian army managed to wipe them out in a matter of 2 months thanks to the amount of fortresses that have been built since the first wave.
Following the Mongol invasions of Hungary, the kingdom had managed to get it's army on the top, and gained land on several fronts. The Hungarians have conquered the Romanian regions firstly, and then turned to the West to siege Vienna and other key cities in the Austrian region. The newly growing kingdom had gotten as far as Salzburg. Following the victories on the Western front, they have turned to the South again to gain more lands on the Balkan peninsula. Hungary have managed to get as far as Skopje, Tirana and even Constantinople, however suddenly the house of Árpád had died out in 1301, ending the conquests of the First Hungarian Empire.
===Civil wars (1301-1310)===
Following the fall of the First Hungarian Empire, the nation had lost it's dominance on the Balkans, as well as in the Austrian region. Several smaller "rulers" declared themselves as the kings of Hungary, however none of them have stayed on the throne for a long time. The population suffered from poverty, hunger and several smaller outbreaks due to the amount of rats growing, especially in the bigger cities. such as Budapest.
=== Mixed-house rulers (1310-1387)===
A new king called Anjou Charles stepped in the situation in 1310 and took the throne with the support of the Hungarian people. He immediately began investing in other regions of Hungary, as well as building more and more castles and fortresses accross the country. Hungary was once again a strong and proud nation, seeked by the biggest powers for assistance in their conflicts. The country also regained some part of it's former empire, therefore was called Hungarian Empire once again. The Hungarian army knocked at the doors of Venice, Constantinople and even Kraków, and has become even larger over time. Charles died in 1342, leaving his empire to his son, Lewis, who managed to make his father's empire even bigger than it was. Hungarian dominance accross the whole of Central Europe was usual, the country is still considered to be one of the the biggest empires in history as of nowadays. Lewis have also managed to rule Poland until his death in 1380. He died in present day Trnava in Slovakia.
=== The fall of the Second Hungarian Empire and the Hunyadi era (1387-1490)===
Following Lewis' death, his empire immediately began losing it's dominance. Several inner and outer threats have come including the Habsburgs, who have regained their lands and even more, the Turkish who were about to invade Europe at that time, and even the Italian, who were hungry for revenge after their defeat at Milan in 1375. Hungary would once again be struggling to survive on it's own if there wasn't help from the Polish and the French. In spite of the country being torn by internal and external problems, regent John Hunyadi repelled Turkish attacks and defeated the Ottoman army in 1456 in the Siege of Nándorfehérvár. He died shortly after, but his son Matthias Hunyadi gained power and eventually became the king of Hungary in 1458. His main objective was becoming the Holy Roman Emperor, and thus he signed several treaties with the Ottoman Empire, while upholding the so called "Black Army" which was considered the most modern and well-equipped army at the time. He invaded the Habsburg Empire, Bohemia and Moravia, Silesia, and although he did not achieve his objective in the long run, he once again made Hungary one of the greatest empires in Europe. He passed away in 1490 in Vienna, which served as his main residence after conquering it in 1487.
===The era of Ottoman occupation (1490-1699)===
Matthias originally wanted his son to take the throne under the name John Corvin, however his plan met opposition from Hungarian nobility, who ended up electing Vladislaus II as the king. His policies contradicted Matthias' with less taxes and the dissolution of the Black Army. With less income for the royal royal treasury and the house keeping it's expenses, Hungary soon went on to being unable to finance it's army at the fortresses along the border, as well as anything. He passed away in 1516 and was followed by his son Louis II, who was 10 at the beginning of his reign. Due to his young age, the noble men of Hungary led the country in his name. Although no achievement can be associated with his name, he is better known for his failures such as losing strategically important fortresses.
Suleiman the Magnificent took the throne of the Ottoman Empire in 1520 and launched a campaign against Hungary the following year. His main goal was to capture Nándorfehérvár to establish a supply road on the Danube and thus be able to conquer Hungary. His army arrived at Nándorfehérvár in late-August and captured it on the 29th. This failure was due to the unpreparedness of the Hungarian defenders as well as the lack of weapons. All this can be blamed on the lack of funding from the royal family since Vladislaus II took the throne. Louis II, however, did not give up, and fought against the Ottoman army until 1526. That year, the Ottomans were going for Buda, and won a major battle against the Hungarian-led army on 29th August again. The Battle of Mohács would not have been a major clash between the Hungarian and Ottoman armies though as the place of the battle was not significant, the loss of the Hungarian army, the casualties and the disappearance of the then-20 years old king marked the downfall of Hungary. The country was divided with half of it supporting the Habsburgs while the other half declared independence as the Principality of Transylvania in order to stay sovereign. This was signified with the Ottoman Empire capturing Buda in 1529, though they did not keep it.
Hungary remained the main battlefield between the Austrian and Ottoman forces, though Hungarian soldiers kept on fighting on both sides. The Ottoman Empire launched yet another campaign, this time to capture Vienna, though they were stopped at Kőszeg in 1532.
===Austrian rule in Hungary (1699-1867)===
WIP
===Austria-Hungary until the First World War (1867-1914)===
The Austro-Hungarian compromise of 1867 was one of a kind as it not only established the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, but also settled disputes between the two entities and granted equal representation to both parties. The only shared policies of the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary were the external-, war politics and the funding of these two. Hungary was granted full control over it's internal issues, which led to the minorities living within Hungary receving nearly equal rights, and so did non-Catholic people. Hungary was regarded as one of the most-progressive countries as only Switzerland had similar protections in place at the time. Hungary made similar compromises with minorities and one exclusively with Croatia in 1868, thus establishing near full equality within it's territory. The compromise with Croatia consisted of the same rights except that they were represented by the Hungarian parliament instead of their own one. 
These treaties led to a healthy economic development in Hungary, whose main source of income was the export of wheat. At a time, it was the second-biggest exporter of wheat in Europe, only after Russia. 
===Independence and the era of the republic (1914-1938)===
Before the first World War, ordinary Hungarians were made to believe that issues related to neighbouring countries would be solved in a matter of hours, however, on 20th June 1914, the population organised a revolution in an attempt to gain more control over external issues. This revolution later served as the catalyst for the outbreak of The Great War. After the first day of the revolution, the German Empire declared war on the Hungarians while Serbia and Montenegro pick the side of the revolutionary forces. More and more countries joined later, involving most European nations in the conflict, including Denmark and the Netherlands. Despite initial failures, the Entente quickly managed to hold their ground on the western front, allowing Hungarians to regroup and build trenches along the lines of river Danube. Revolutionary forces held their ground for a long time, and in 1917 declared themselves independent from Austria and thus, the Pannonian Republic was born. The first World War concluded in 1918 and resulted in a complete defeat of the Central Powers. Pannonia gained territory from Austria and Romania as well, due to the latter being part of the Central Powers.Namibia was also ceded to the country, giving it the first and only colony in it's history. 
The huge conflict left nothing but destruction behind itself, leading to an economic crisis in Pannonia. The Pannonian forint lost it's value to an extent that has not been seen in human history before. People lost their jobs and there were shortages in food. To prevent further escalation, the Pannonian government introduced a new currency that they called "fargas". Taxes were reduced to 8% from the previous 20%, leaving more money for lower class families to live from, and new factories were introduced to the Pannonian working class. These decisions led to the economy soaring until 1929, when the Great Depression wrecked the country. During the Great Depression, Pannonian GDP dropped by approximately 9% monthly, though it is only an estimate due to official figures not having been published. 
Following the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, Pannonian far-right movements took seal and spread throughout the country like wildfire, though it was not enough for them to get into the parliament. Pannonia retained it's neutrality in the cases involving Germany, such as the annexation of the Danish half of Schleswig-Holstein, the Memel region, Bohemia or the Anschluss in 1938 when Austria was annexed into the Third Reich. Western countries initially expected Pannonia to become affiliated with Nazi Germany, although such action never happened. 
===Pannonia in the Second World War and the Cold War (1939-1991) ===
As the second great conflict broke out, Pannonia remained neutral, however accepted hundreds of thousands of Polish refugees fleeing their country. Germany demanded Pannonia to hand them over, the latter refused to and denied access to their personal data. This led to tensions between the two countries rising. As time progressed, Pannonian involvement in the conflict became inevitable, and eventually led to the Reich launching a surprise attack during Spring 1941 when the Axis powers invaded the Balkan-peninsula. Pannonian forces were crushed by the rapid movement of the Nazi army, and the country capitulated within a month. Pannonian partisan forces however remained active and managed to sabotage many German plans. The Soviet forces won decisive victories in 1943, giving Pannonian people hope for an uprising, which eventually happened in October of the same year. Pannonian and Soviet forces connected in early-1944 and wiped out German forces from the country by the end of the year. Pannonia received Trieste and Moravia as compensation after the war. 
After the conclusion of the second World War, Pannonia was left devastated. Over 13% of the population died or fled the country during the conflict, most emigrants returned though within a year ot two. Rebuilding the country took long enough, but Pannonia received aid from the Marshall Plan. Due to not being liberated by Soviet forces, Pannonia was not part of the Eastern Bloc, nor was it a Soviet satellite state. This is unlike the case of Poland, and many historians believe this was only possible due to Pannonian partisan forces liberating the majority of the country's territory, even before the arrival of Soviet forces. 
In the 1950's, due to the relative majority of other nationalities. a constitutional reform was needed and this resulted in the Green Revolution, a peaceful transition from Republic to Federation. All the minorities received equal rights and autonomy, as well as the right of self-governing. This solved many problems within Pannonia between Pannonians and minority people. At the time, the country was deemed the most liberal in Europe. Despite this, however, Pannonia still suffered from nationalist protests demanding their territory to belong to their nation state. Pannonia remained neutral until 1956, when it supported Israel in the Suez Crisis. The following year, the country applied for NATO membership and was welcomed into the alliance in 1960. This led to tensions rising even further between the mentioned alliance and the Warsaw Pact, and resulted in the Khust Crisis in 1962, when the Soviet forces were standing at the Pannonian border, waiting for an order to go forward and invade the country. The crisis was resolved peacefully through diplomacy, and resulted in the Zagreb Memorandum, which was a compromise between the two superpowers and their respective organisations. The Soviet side agreed to not ship rockets to Cuba while NATO and the United States promised to do the same in Pannonia. Cooperation between Pannonia and NATO grew even further despite that and was met with harsh criticism from the Soviet Union, which accused the Western alliance of planning an invasion against them. US and Pannonian leadership reassured the Soviets of not having such plans. During the Sino-Soviet Conflict (1969-1970), Pannonia supported the People's Republic of China, like many NATO members, and served as a mediator between the two sides following the war. The peace treaty between them was signed in Baltorja, then Székesfehérvár, which resulted in a rapid influx of people in the city due to it's fame. 
=== Pannonia in the modern era (1991-2023)===
The civil wars left the country in a big economic crisis, which it overcame within 3 years, eventually having the biggest economic growth recorded in human history. In 1995, Pannonia accepted a new constitution, which drastically changed the country's administrative divisions, and gave minorities greater rights. The same year, it decriminalised male homosexuality and accepted LGBTQ+ rights protection laws, paving a way for a better future of the community. At the end of the 90's, it was reported to be one of the most liberal countries in the world, surpassing the United States as well. Following a referendum, the Free State of Helikon gained independence from Pannonia, though the microstate kept close ties with it's mother country.

==Geography==
Pannonia is a country located in the Carpathian basin in Central Europe. It's area covers 412,682 km2, taking up approximately 0.28% of the world's total area. 
===Terrain===
The nation's natural geography has always been defined by the 5 main rivers in the country: the Danube, the Tisza, the Drava, the Sava and the Olt. The first 3 rivers divide the country into it's 4 main geographical parts: the region westwards the Drava is Transdravia (Drávántúl), the region North to the Drava and West to the Danube is Transdanubia (Dunántúl), the region eastwards the Tisza is the Transtisavia (Tiszántúl), and the land mass that doesn't belong to any of the previously mentioned ones is called the Midlands (Középfölde) or alternatively as "between the Danube and Tisza" (Duna-Tisza Köze).
Panonia's Transdanubian regions are primarily hilly regions. The highest point of the geographical region is the Írott-kő which's height is approximately 884 metres. The hughest point in the whole country is the Grelachfalvi Mt. which's highest peak is at 2655 metres above the sea level.

The other well-known river of Pannonia is the Tisa river. It's famous for being full of curves and turns which caused many floods back in the days. Because of that it had to be regulated, which happened in 1846 under the lead of István Széchenyi. Thanks to that, the current length of the river is 966 km, which is roughly 66% of it's original length (1,419 km). It is usually called as the most Pannonian river as it mostly flows in Pannonia. It flows into the river Danube.

===Languages===
Hungarian, alternatively also called as Pannonian, is the most spoken language and the official language of Pannonia with almost 74% of the population speaking it as their mother tounge. Nearly 23% of the population speaks Hungarian as their secondary language. Other languages such as Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Ruthenian and Croatian are recognized as regional languages due to the rising number of people of non-Pannonian origins.
=== Education===
Educational services in Pannonia are mandatory between the ages of six and sixteen. However, most high schools in the country gives every possibility for studies to students until the age of 18 and beyond, up to the age of 21.
