Vuzenica

**Vuzenica,** officially *Demokratična Republika Vuzenica*, is a country located in the south-west of Pholoris. It borders Abezi to the west, and the Tamberian Federation to the east.

### Creator

Mazaopeia

Founded in 1763, Vuzenica has enjoyed a quiet but prosperous history, with very few major conflicts in its time. This is due to Vuzenica's policy of focusing as much effort as possible on co-operation and peace with its neighbours.

The capital city, named after the country itself, has the second highest population, with Letovišče having the highest. The capital was planned in the late 1960s to house a maximum population of 35 million, more than double the population of the entire country.

Vuzenica is a democratic republic, with elections every five years.

## Regions

Vuzenica consists of twelve regions, all with various differences in culture, geography, and lifestyle.

Vuzenica's regions are, from east to west:

#### Zelena

Zelena is a large, sparsely populated region. The largest city, Kišovitka, houses over half of the region's population.

Zelena is mostly forest, and therefore produces a significant amount of the country's lumber output.

#### Obala

Obala is a small but densely populated region, having a similar amount of inhabitants as neighbouring Zelena.

Obala focuses on tourism, with its beaches seeing hundreds of thousands of visitors every summer.

#### Capitaljna

Vuzenica's capital city, along with its most-populous city, Letovišče, are located within Capitaljna.

Capitaljna is among the smallest of the regions yet has the highest GDP, due to its focus on business, manufacturing, and importing/exporting goods internationally.

#### Šuma

Šuma, like Zelena, is well-forested, and sparsely populated. Šuma both produces lumber from its forests and receives lumber from Zelena, after which many businesses and factories in Šuma process the wood into other resources such as rubber, charcoal, firewood, and others.

#### Carinthia

Carinthia is a very large region in the south of Vuzenica. Carinthia contains Pristanišče and Zatočišče, two of the busiest ports in the country. Due to this, a significant number of Vuzenican businesses have warehouses in Carinthia. Towards the north-east of the region, much of the land is used for farming and food production.

Carinthia is world-renowned for its wineries, many of which have won awards.

#### Jezero

Jezero is a small region in central Vuzenica. It has a fairly low population but a very high GDP due to the immense tourism demand.

## Economy

Vuzenica's economy comes mainly from exports; these include lumber, wheat, barley, motorcycles, wine, and aluminium.

#### Motorcycle industry

Vuzenica has a booming motorcycle industry; over 85% of registered road vehicles in Vuzenica are motorcycles. The country's largest motorcycle company is MČV, which is wholly government-owned, but privately operated.

MČV, along with a number of other Vuzenican companies, are deeply involved in motorcycle racing. Blah blah filler.

## Culture

#### Religion

The majority of Vuzenican citizens are agnostic or atheist, though 28% of Vuzenicans believe in the Tale of Ajkulava, an indigenous creation story.
