Imperial Federation of Ryzan

The Imperial Federation of Ryzan, formerly known as the Ryzani Provisional Authority & also known as the Seventh Tsardom of Ryzan was a country in Syltor. It was the 19th government of the nation state of Ryzan. It was the second imperial government of the Ryzani nation, and was also the first provisional government in Ryzani history following the Treaty of Playistan & the dissolution of the United Crowns of Syltor. It was also the first time a Ryzani state has not owned the city of Tossagrad, which was officially handed handed over to Bardonia after the Ryvenate of Ryzan was dissolved in the Treaty of Playistan. The country had a condominium with the Aurlûnoren Free State over ownership of the Kingdom of Deutzan, to ensure the safety of the nation in a post-union world.
The Imperial Federation of Ryzan has a government of similar nature as the Ryvenate's one with monarchy at it's helm, and democratic aspects in lower government. It had a population count of 5 104 931, often rounded down to 5 millions or 5,1 millions.
==History==
===Provisional Authority===
Following the Treaty of Playistan, the Pheonixian Imperium was divided up amongst previous constituent boundaries. Following the dissolution of the Ryvenate of Ryzan, Ryzan was left to fight amongst itself, and the remnants of the Ryvenate's government decided to meet with rebel governments to establish a provisional government to prevent the region from falling into civil war, which Bardonia could use to prey upon what remained of the country. Having lost the major population centres of Carthya, Tossagrad & Tonton, the government had a lot of work to do, especially on the diplomatic front, where the only kind of treaty they had was a MDP with Bardonia.
Over the next two days, the delegates from the two sides of the government reached a mutual agreement to form a diarchy with Peterhoff Shan-Khamen (Shan Tossavich's firstborn son) & Isabella Shan-Khamen (Shan's eldest daughter) at the centre. This was a controversial yet necessary move as Shan had previously disowned & distanced the family from Peterhoff. The government would have elements of democracy like previous governments, however the crown would still have a lot of power. The Imperial Federation was formally established on January 24th 2023.

Imperial Federation consisted of 5 freeholds (not including Deutzan):
Freeholds of the Imperial Federation of Ryzan
Freehold 	Capital 	Description
Remtal 	Karlsfell 	Remtal is home to a people known as the Olthiacs, who with Bardonians and Ryzanis make up the Brothian culture group. The County was led by Josbar I & II Liberium who took over for his father, after he disappeared at the end of the Ryzani Civil War. The current leader is Eirik Damerson Liberium, the son of Josbar and the Imperial President of the Federation.
Nebskoslavia 	Slouttawa 	Nebskoslavia is the oldest freehold in Ryzan, home to the largest ethnic minority in the region, Korolians. It is a flourishing cultural centre within the state with rich history which spans thousands of years. It has over time declared independence from the state many times, whether that be to preserve & protect the Ryzani & Korolian identities from the Bardonian invasions or to move away from Ryzan on their own accord.
Volkore 	Volkoregrod	Volkore was founded in late November 2020 by Bronvic Sigrun (Theburger3) Thinker Sigrun (Thinker) and Athos I Sigrun (Athos). Although the city was founded on the orders of CanadianToss with the purpose of colonizing the northern territories, Athos still had dreams of a great Volkorean Empire no longer bound to Ryzan. Soon after Volkore's establishment, the Golem known as Russischebanana joined, who helped sculpt many of the cities natural wonders - the grove, the mountains, Shiny Cave, and the crystal mines - that still stand to this day. Within days of Volkore's founding, tensions rose significantly with Erebor, whose people were soon removed from their land in Ryzan's first ethnic cleansing event. Since that time, Volkore has been highly controversial within the state ever since, responsible for many ethnic cleansings & crises inside the country. In the modern day, Volkoregrod is a shadow of its former self, being the nation's largest city yet still extremely underpopulated.
Vologda 	Vologda 	Vologda is governed by the Holy Order of the Vologdan Knights in conjunction with the Holy Order of the Vologdan Missionaries. The Holy Order of the Vologdan Knights is the primary power in this partnership, with the Holy Order of the Vologdan Missionaries being relegated to a mostly ceremonial, supporting role. Even though the Holy Orders govern the state, the state of Vologda and the Holy Orders are considered to act independently of each other. The Holy Order governs the state of Vologda as a nation, but govern themselves as an organization. Vologda encompasses a small, mountainous region found in the southeast of mainland Ryzan. Vologda has a low population.
Cultural values are heavily tied into the religion of the Vologdan people, which was brought by the Holy Orders during their conquest of the area. Vologdans are mistrustful of foreigners, especially against foreign non-humans.
Tsarograd/Tossagrad	Tsarograd 	Freehold of Tsarograd, also known as the Freehold of Tossagrad, or the Remnants of Tossagrad, is a freehold consisting of the remnants of former Tossagrad freehold. The two remaining sizable cities are Erebor, and Tsarograd (also known as Heimsk) which is the new, freshly built capital of Ryzan, and capital of the freehold. Geographically, the remaining land of Tossagrad Freehold is filled with mountain ranges, on which Erebor and Tsarograd are located.
