Mazurkowskie Voivodeship

== About ==
Mazurkowskie Voivodeship (Zedrutian Polish: Województwo Mazurkowskie) was a Zedrutian voivodeship located in Central Zedrutia, bordering the voivodeships of Kiezyn and Posizm to the west, Prochod to the north, Olszynki and Swietnow in the south, and the two autonomous regions known as Chotyn and Dziatyczyn by the east. As it is bordering the Kiezyn Voivodeship, the Mazurkowskie Voivodeship is the third most-populous division in Zedrutia, being only behind the cities of New Gdansk and Beltow, having a population of around 7.7 million people. It is one of the richest voivodeships as the region is rich in resources such as coal, iron and sulfur. Most of Kiezyn's ring road network in the east are located in this region too, connecting all cities in the voivodeship through this network of highways. The region is also known for having the highest elevation point, which is located in the Koriuka Mountains. Mazurkowskie was established in the year of 1919 after Zedrutia's independence. Initially, Mazurkowskie used to have the city of Jozefka, until 1973, when control over the city was handed over to the Kiezyn Voivodeship to serve as Zedrutia's judicial capital. 
== History ==
=== Prior to 1918 ===
The region that is now Mazurkowskie was inhabited by indigenous Zedrutians, with settlements dating back to 300 years ago and some dating back centuries prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Zedrutia. Most of these settlements were concentrated on the Chwala River. Eventually with the decline of the indigenous Zedrutian population due to a epidemic which occurred in the region, these settlements along the Chwala River were abandoned, and were reclaimed by nature. It wasn't until the 1600s when the Beyliks conquered Zedrutia that the place began to be inhabited by Zedrutian Poles, who fled the Beylik territories into the undiscovered territories of Central Zedrutia and settled along the Chwala River. Some moved westwards where they constructed a settlement which would later on be known as Kiezyn, the future capital city of Zedrutia. In the 1800s when Zedrutia was under the Mongravians, the Mongravians discovered and explored the mountains east of the Chwala River, calling it the "Sapphire Mountains".
It eventually did not take long for the Mongravians to discover natural resources in the region. In 1865, coal and iron was discovered in modern-day Mazurkowskie, and when news of the discovery spread, Mongravian miners eventually moved to the area and established a mining community which would eventually become Mazurkowskie. With the location being located close to the tallest mountain in Zedrutia, the region had become a popular tourist attraction, which led to the foundation of Tatry. Initially under Mongravian rule, Mazurkowskie was formerly named as "Montsaphir". Mazurkowskie became one of the booming cities of Zedrutia when investors flocked to the city. A railway was constructed which extended to Mazurkowskie, bringing more people into the city monthly. Other cities were also being founded, such as the cities of Jozefka, Potok and Dolnik. In the 1880s the town's name was changed from Mazurkowskie to Montsaphir.
=== Independent Zedrutia (1918 - 1941) ===
When Zedrutia gained independence in 1918, the city of Montsaphir underwent a series of changes during the Zedrutianization process. In 1919, Montsaphir was changed to Mazurkowskie, and the voivodeship was formed the following year. Mazurkowskie, like many other cities in the Kiezyn Greater Area, grew exponentially due to a booming industry in that region. However this boom did not last as the Great Depression occurred which led to a huge portion of Mazurkowskie's factories closing down and putting the city in crisis. In 1937, the Mazurkowskie Incident occurred, in which members of the Nicrespraw paramilitary wing brutally assaulted a Zedrutian military officer, which led to controversies which created further discontent between the Zedrutian military and the government, and a few days afterwards the Zedrutian military garrison in Mazurkowskie declared a mutiny, beginning a coup d'etat which overthrew the Nicrespraw government.
