Republic of Rovine

The **Republic of Rovine (R.o.R or RoR)**, officially the **Democratic Republic of Rovine**, currently the **Imperialistic State of Rovine**, usually shortened and commonly known as Rovine, is a country mostly located to the north of North Beringa. The country consists of 21 states, one federal district, and two major island territories. The country shares 4 land borders, with Farlin at the far southeast, East Dolsta at the mid-southeast, West Dolsta at the mid-southwest, and Zoldania at the far southwest. It also shares one maritime border with Northernlands off the coast and along the north of the country. The country, as of the February 2022 Rovinean Census, has 419,127,892 population, making it the sixth most populated country on Zovine. The national capital is Mother's City, and the country's most populated city is Dolliland, located in North Jowkland.

North Beringa was first populated by ancient Bedorenomics who came to the continent from Eastacia through the Post-Eruption North Eastacian-Beringan Land Bridge (North Estacian-Beringan Land Bridge or Eastacian-Beringan Land Bridge for short), which was estimated to have formed about 21,000 years ago through a divergent boundary, which caused earthquakes and eruptions for about 1,000 years until the magma finally cooled about 20,000 years ago. The mass migration of people was estimated to have occurred about 20,000 years ago. The migration was short-lived though, as a little less than 20,000 years ago, a large asteroid, now called Camina Destructor (meaning, "Path Destroyer") hit nearly right in the middle of the land bridge. This caused existential damage across the entire land bridge, and the coasts it was connected to and surrounded by. Clear evidence of tsunamis has been noted, including the visibly inwards-curved lands that the land bridge was connected to. Other sets of evidence include the various ancient artifacts found near the coasts of both lands, with drawings noting large walls engulfing what looks to be beaches and coasts. Camina Destructor's explosion destroyed the land bridge completely, only leaving pieces of islands, including the Kurmaks, far western islands of the Northernlands, and northeastern islands of the coast of Cocoslav Island near Bedorenenom. The various tsunamis that followed also flooded surrounding coasts, further separating the previously united continents of Eastacia and North Beringa. This led to clouds of dust forming across the lands, making the coasts nearly uninhabitable. Due to this, the now crossed over Bedorenomics on North Beringa began fleeing westwards, southwards, and southwestwards. This eventually led to the creation of two distinct ethnic groups that still exist today—Native Beringan and Native Newzovish.

As the Native Beringans that moved westward migrated, they eventually came across the northern coasts and the western coasts of nowaday-Rovine. The Native Newzovish also came across the coasts, and eventually moved inland and through the coasts, making a distinct territory. As the Native Beringans that moved southward migrated further, the other Native Beringans became an ethnic sub-group, called North Native Beringans.

For thousands of years, they remained isolated from the eastern world, which was developing quickly, setting empires, such as the Vinean Empire and the Jinean Empire, until finally in 1603, pilgrims sent by the Vinean Empire's queen from the Reina Westa (A grand wooden boat used by the Vinean pilgrims to reach the eastern world better by sailing westwards) crashed into the west coast of nowadays Republic of Rovine. By this time, the Vinean Empire's nemesis, the Jinean Empire also had crashed into the western coast of nowadays Farlin. The Vinean Empire developed colonies quickly, establishing first the Firstcol Colony, and then the Colony of Montland. The Jineans, fierce for land, fought through the Native Newzovish. They established Arbolida, which rubbed borders with Montland. In order to establish heavy military forces, the Vinean Empire began taxing the four colonies of Rovine. The pilgrims, disliking this, protested, but were continually oppressed by the queen. Finally, this led to the Rovinean Revolutionary War, from 1710-1722. Finally, on April 8th, 1722, they gained independence and celebrated, finally delegating the country as the Republic of Rovine in 1723. Republic of Rovine expanded westwards, they came across tribes, which were pushed further and further, when finally, Nyokilia was created especially for them, though Nyokilia was later annexed by Rovine. As Rovine continued expanding westwards, where they met villages of Native Newzovish, who traveled to go see Rovine for themselves. These towns were peacefully annexed by Rovine in the Newzovish Citizen Treaty. Finally in 1846, the Republic of Rovine spanned from the east coast of northern North Beringa, to the west coast.

During the War of Zovine I, Rovine fought beside previously thought enemies, against the Kesk powers. This established several alliances, and Rovine was recognized as a world power. Then again in the War of Zovine II, it fought against the Keskiv powers alongside the Assist forces. The Republic of Rovine joined the Commune-Capital War in 1964. Finally in 1965, the Republic of Rovine joined and established the AOWC (Alliance of Western Countries), alongside New Zov, New Vine, and Farlin. The war finally ended on September 10th, 1981, following the establishment of Yorkenstein from a Commune power to a Capital power, to a neutral power. Both sides therefore declared a stalemate and the war ended, though tensions are still low-moderate even today.

The Republic of Rovine is officially a federal presidential-constitutional democratic republic with three branches of the government, with a bicameral legislature. It is a founding and permanent member of the AOWC, the UC (United Cross), and the COZ (Coalition of Zovine). It is one of the most diverse nations in the world, with many ethnicities and races, with most counted in the Rovinean Census. It also has many nationalities, also counted on its national census. This diversity is easily linked to the years and decades of immigration to Rovine.
