Askovi, (pronounced [As.Koh.Vee]), Is a country which is split into 3 parts in the far north of the Calvera Ocean, and claims 1 island which used to be its former capital, which was on a extinct Supervolcano caldera. The West is slightly more developed than the east. There are several volcanic calderas that have created hotsprings.

The nation's infrastructure quality depends on the region where the infrastructure is located. In the west, large cottages are common. While in the east, smaller and cheaper houses are common. The Space elevator, the most famous building in Askovi, is the tallest building and serves as the capital tower. It was made in collaboration with another nation. The economy is centrally and AI Planned. Dense Population Centers, Santa Teri and New Alexandria make up 2/3 of the population and are located in harbors.

Askovi’s economy is primarily based on cutting edge military equipment, rare mineral mining, fusion power, interplanetary travel and electronics.

Timeline (WIP)

Askovi history is generally agreed upon to have started in year 546 BC, with the arrival of some folks from Rivendell, as well as ancient Sierrese groups. The original Askovi supposedly came from past the northern gate, according to the soren doctrine, however it’s actually more likely the original Askovi came from near the western half of Sysillia. The people from Rivendell split into the Lyrians and Qånçans, whilst the Sierrans became the Niflians, Voskians, Yetagne, and Verels. The people from west Sysillia became the original Riparians. The first city was founded on Soren island, the city was mostly underground and is now known today as “the Ashen Catacombs” as it is filled with volcanic ash and ancient sarcophagi. The Riparian Empire controlled all of modern day Askovi as well as some of Sierra Grand and northern Rivendellfolk. The empire was completely annihilated in the year 1236 CE, or 17:36 Armageddon Age in the Riparian calendar. This is due to the eruption of Soren; the supervolcano that made up the island, when it erupted it destroyed the Riparian empire, and would never be able to erupt again. The Lyrians, Qånçans, Niflians and Yetagne would become the most dominant groups in Askovi after this. The Yetagne founded Santa Teri, Lyrians founded New Alexandria, Qånçans founded Lyria, and Niflians founded Niflheim. The four kingdoms eventually joined together in Soren to create Sefngard, creating the “Grand Kingdom of Askovi” in 1436. In 1856, the name changed to “Democratic Kingdom of Askovi,” and finally, in 1930, the third socialist revolution created “The Socialist Commonwealth of Askovi.” This name remained until 2026, when Harry Markin, the former president, died of a stroke. Lord Commander Alexei Romanov replaced him and changed the name to “Reformed Socialist Federation of Askovi.” In 2027, a civil war started against the “Holy Empire of Riparia Khislos.” They used the Ascendemenurg, an old weapon of the Great War, to create a massive storm, devastating the capital city. Currently, the de facto leader of Askovi is The Crown who leads the Vindicators faction on the West Askovi side of the war. The civil war has become somewhat of a proxy war between Sysillia and Sierra Grand, with Sysillia and Tocan Isle supporting the Romanov faction and Sierra Grand supporting the Vindicators.

“Era of Division” (1876-1929)

The Era of Division was an age of strife and civil war between 41 individual nations. The nations became isolated from the rest of the world after the first 10 years. In 1915, only 5 nations remained. Lyria, Curvania and Qåno Qurå on the “Askovi Restoration Alliance” and the nations “Loteny” and “Karuu” on the side of the “Riparian Imperium” side. The war ended with an ARA victory in 1929, with the Book of Communion being written which united 39 out of the 41 original nations into communes of the Commonwealth of Askovi. The 2 nations that did not make it were “Loteny” and “Igwono.”
