Travenia

Travenia (Travenian: Травенја, Travenja), officially the Republic of Travenia (Travenian: Република Травенја, Republika Travenja) and sometimes referred to as the Republic of Alaslavotravenia (Travenian: Република Алаславотравенја, Republika Alaslavotravenja), is a sovereign state located in Southeastern Eurea, bordered by Gornia to the west, north, and northwest, and Lima to the east, south, and southeast. Its capital and most-populous city is Ivje, located in the west of the country. West Travenia has a population of about 2.1 million inhabitants.
Organized civilization first began in the territory of modern-West Travenia in the 5th-century, with the establishment of numerous small city-states. By the 9th-century, the territory had unified as the Kingdom of Darconia. The Kingdom was small and fragile, under constant threat of invasion by its more powerful neighbors. In the 13th-century, the Kingdom was invaded and conquered by the Limian Empire; in an attempt to Limanize the nation, its name was changed to Western Travenia, referring to the Limian region of Travenia. By the 19th-century, instability in the Empire led to the formation of the Kingdom of Lima. With the establishment of the Kingdom, nationalist sentiment broke out in Western Travenia, with a growing independence movement. In order to overcome political instability and economic downturn, the Kingdom sold the territory of Western Travenia to the much more powerful Kingdom of Alaslavia in 1896. Western Travenia did not revert back to its original name of Darconia following the sale, and instead became known as simply Travenia, which has caused consistent conflict between the nation and Lima into the modern-era. In the 20th-century, a coup d'état occurred, deposing of the monarchy and imposing a fascist regime in a similar vein to the Kashan Union, referred to as the Federal Republic of Alaslavia (FR Alaslavia). Civil liberties and freedoms were greatly diminished in the era of FR Alaslavia, although not to the extreme extent that they were in the Kashan Union. FR Alaslavia disbanded in the 1990s, amidst mounting international pressure following the disbandment of the Kashan Union several years prior, and the state broke up into several independent nations, with Travenia receiving their independence in 1994. After receiving independence, tensions between Travenia and Lima increased momentously. Lima has long refused to refer to the nation by its official name, instead adopting the name Alaslavotravenia in order to distinguish it from its own region of the same name. International observers have attempted to solve the naming dispute, but to no avail.
Since receiving its independence, Travenia has established itself as a unitary parliamentary republic. Its head of state is the President, who is elected by parliament to serve an eight-year term that cannot be renewed. The President is a ceremonial figurehead in Travenian politics, who holds no real power. They are tasked with formally appointing ministers and greeting visiting foreign heads of state; unlike other presidents, they hold no veto power and do not serve as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Most political power is vested in the Prime Minister, who serves as head of government. Typically the leader of the governing coalition in parliament, the Prime Minister is considered the chief legislator of the nation. They are tasked with implementing their policy agenda through legislation and leading a council of ministers. The National Assembly is the 145-seat unicameral legislature.
Of its population of about 2.1 million, approximately 75.4% identifies as ethnically Travenian, while 20.1% identifies as Asbanian and the remaining 4.5% as other ethnic groups. The Asbanian community in Travenia arrived during the era of the Limian Empire as settlers from the former Kingdom of Asbania which had similarly been conquered by the Empire. They have resided in the territory of Travenia for centuries, and most often are solely citizens of Travenia, not considered to be of immigrant origin. Most towns and localities along the eastern Limian border are Asbanian-majority. The national and sole official language of Travenia is Travenian, a Slavoric language. Travenian is spoken natively by about 80.5% of the population, while the remaining 19.5% overwhelmingly speaks Asbanian, the only known member of its family of Eurean languages, which also holds special minority language status in Travenia. There have been recent calls to make Asbanian co-official with Travenian, due to its widespread usage. Approximately 94.5% of the population in total can communicate in Travenian, while 50.5% can communicate in Asbanian. Travenia does not keep record of the religiosity of its residents, although estimates state that most ethnic Travenians adhere to Eastern Eurean Christianity, while most ethnic Asbanians adhere to Eurean Islam.
