Syldavia

Syldavia is a country in the Balkan Penninsula region. Syldavia has always had an uneasy relationship with neighbouring country Borduria. The National day is Saint Vladimir's Day.
=== History ===
Prior to the 6th century AD Syldavia was occupied by nomadic horsemen tribes until it was overrun with Slavs. In the 10th century the nation was conquered by the Turks who forced the Slavs into the mountains where they lived until 1127 when they rose up against the Turks. The leader of this revolt was a Slav named Hveghi who began efforts to drive out the Turks dealing them a decisive blow at the Battle of Zileheroum . Hveghi was eventually declared Syldavia's first king, taking the name Muskar and changed the name Zileheroum to Klow.
Muskar was a wise ruler, but his son, Muskar II could not keep control of the kingdom which led to Syldavia being annexed by neighbouring Bordurians in 1195. In 1275, a Syldavian baron, Almaszout, led a successful uprising against Borduria and in 1277 was crowned king, taking the name of Ottokar, and setting up the fuedal system in his country. The first true King of all Syldavia was Ottokar IV who subdued the powerful nobles and set about a Golden Age. Ever since then, the law has stated that the King is however holds the sceptre of King Ottokar.
In 2022, Xoblar Genetics had stolen the sceptre, and thus owned Syldavia.
