Reformation of Ostrobia

The **Reformation of Ostrobia** were a series of political, legal, cultural, social and economic policy changes that were designed to bridge the divide between factions of Ostrobia that were affected by the Ostrobian Civil War and transform Ostrobia to a modern, federal, secular nation-state under the leadership of Quintin Derial from 1923 to 1932 and continued with Andrew Feratshey until 1939. Feratshey suffered significant slowdowns however due to the Great Depression. Central to the reforms was the belief that factions of the Ostrobian people with their distinct cultures and traditions would have to be unified into a singular culture with a singular language and a singular way of life.

Reforms began with the transition of a unitary system to a federal system of government and the adaptation of English as the lingua franca. This was followed by reformations and development on infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

The reforms were met with criticism by ultranationalists and independent states who did not want to surrender its culture towards the Ostrobian Government. Ultranationalists have been brutally murdered by the government to silence dissent which led to the foundation of the Onafhankelyk Forum voor Vryheid (OFVV), which threatened the reforms. The general public reception at the time was positive and people had the belief that Ostrobia's divisions would be erased.
Washington vs. the Bunny

While on a flight, Rob tells a fellow passenger about how he had to choose between going to Washington as a talent scout for *The Alan Brady Show* and staying home to see Richie in the school play as "the main bunny."

## Plot

Rob, on a commuter flight from Washington DC to New York, is looking despondent. He ends up pouring his heart out to his seat mate about why he is feeling that way. It all started the day before when Alan ordered Rob to go to Washington to scout an up and coming singer. Every major television show was sending a scout. Her performance, however, coincided with Richie's school play, where he was to play the lead bunny. Rob wanted to attend Ritchie's play but felt he had an obligation to Alan and his job. But when Laura almost ordered Rob not to go to Washington in favor of Ritchie's play and be up front about the reason to Alan, Rob's new dilemma became whether he would allow Laura to dictate to him what he should or should not do. Regardless of the fact that the trip itself ended up being useless (as the singer came down with laryngitis and thus did not perform), Rob has to decide how he will deal with Laura when he gets home.

**ICE One** is the first and principal television channel of the ICE Network in Ostrobia. It was launched on 2 November 1936 as the **Infrington Broadcasting Channel.** It was renamed **IET** in 1960, using this name until the buyout of the Ceres TV Channel in 1964, whereupon the IET channel became known as **ICE One**.

The channel's annual budget for 2012–13 was $1.18 billion. The channel is funded by taxpayer money with the BBC's other domestic television stations, and shows uninterrupted programming without commercial advertising. It is currently the most viewed television channel in Ostrobia, ahead of its traditional rival for ratings leadership, RTVS 1.

As of April 2013 the channel director for ICE One was Steven Lambson, who succeeded Rachel Leopold initially as an Acting Controller from May 2011.

## History

### Infington Broadcasting Channel

ICE One started out as the Infington Broadcasting Channel in 1936 where Ostrobia's first television channel was created by the Ministry of Media Charles Infington (hence the name Infington Broadcasting Channel). At it's hayday, the IBC was a small channel only broadcasting on Fridays and Saturdays between 9:00 to 18:00, however regular transmissions began in 1938. IBC was broadcasting in a small room outside Lordship House, North Quays, Seblo.

With the start of World War II in 1939, IBC was pulled off the air due to security concerns as the transmissions would act as a beacon to German aircraft in Seblo. In 1946, transmissions started again at 10:00 with announcer James Bliss famously saying, "Good morning Ostrobia. How is everyone today?".

### Infington-Embraer Merger

The IBC held a monopoly on television broadcasting until Radio Television Seblo and XNFCE-Television in Treien started to both transmit in 1955 and 1958 respectively. The competition caused a large reduction of audiences and a focus shift of IBC. This was accelerated by the Television De-regulation Act of 1959 which created Statesman TV, Prethenia TV, Heart-of-Holmes TV, Central-Holmes-TV, Spirit Television and NCTV.

The intense amount of new local companies profiting made IBC unable to control demand for local television and independent production studios that in 1960, Embraer which has a strong experience on smaller community television channels merged with IBC to create the Infrington Embraer Corporation. Embraer owned local production studios and telecommunication equipment which allowed them to rebrand local television networks to IET and create local content for the channel.

In 1963, IET transmitted under the 625-line UHF format with the already existing 405-line VHF format. IET also moved from Lordship House to Baywarten Studios in Baywarten, New North Wales in 1963, allowing RTVS to buy out Lordship House in 1965.
Baywarten

**Baywarten** is a town and municipality in Etusk district, New North Wales. It's about 13 km (8 mi) from Treien and generally borders the city. It is part of the Treien-South Maine-North NNW conurbation. It's population is 40,611 in Census 2011, risen to 42,530 in 2015.

It is known as the 'city of media' due to ICE Network and some other public media-broadcasters being located there. It also competes with Banning, Seblo as many media, music and film industries are based there as well.

Baywarten is twinned with Hilversum in the Netherlands, Elstree in the UK and Roseville in Australia. It's also a part of the Treien Commuter Belt.

## Geography

Baywarten is on a small peninsula between the southern suburbs of Treien, the British Sea, and Hudston Bay. The M42 bypasses the town.

## Transportation

The M42 passes the town with one junction. The R52 which starts at Baywarten and finishes in Ostrobia Beigen, Alnet also serve the southern sections of the town and joins the M42 at Baywarten.

The South Western Mainline and High Speed Two passes the town. There is only one station serving Baywarten, Baywarten Railway Station served by Southwestern Domestic which runs services to Treien Hamlewood. The nearest Treien Orbital Railway station is Hornchurch Park in Northern Baywarten, at the border with the Ostrobian Federal Territory and New North Wales, serving Hornchurch Park. The nearest Metrolink station is Ysytina in the Ostrobia line. Baywarten is in Travelcard Zone 6.

## Economy

   As mentioned before Baywarten is a media town.Media City Treien is based at Baywarten which was built in 2009. It holds studios for ICE Network, Royal Ostrobian, Five Network and Percy Media. It competes with Banning in Seblo which is larger than Baywarten and has lots of contracters to make films there.

Baywarten is slowly declining but the new Southwoods Development between Ysytina in Treien and Baywarten allowed the area to be regenerated and revitalised. A billion dollar project is underway to make new shopping centres, new housing and an extension of the Ostrobia Line to Southwoods.

## Education

Baywarten is served by two schools, Baywartern Elementarry which serves Kindergarten to Year 6 and Baywartern High School which serves Year 7 to Year 11. It also has a higher education college, Baywartern Institute for Year 12's and Year 13's
Treien Stony Stratford Airport

**Treien Stony Stratford International Airport** (IATA: **TRE** ICAO: **EOSS**) is the largest airport in Ostrobia, 39th in the world, and 8th in Europe. It served 49'231'331 passengers in 2016 making it the 7th busiest airport in the world. It's also one of the largest airports in Europe by floor space.

## History

The airport opened on November 13, 1977, to replace Baywarten Airport. Originally there was only one terminal. Terminal 2 opened in 1993, and Terminal 3 in 2000. The airport continued to grow and eventually, the decision for a fourth terminal was made. The airport is built in a former industrial site and a wetland which was terraformed.

Terminal 4, after almost a decade of planning and construction, opened February 9, 2013, with the first flight arriving at 11:25 am. It was designed as a modern terminal and serves all SkyTeam flights.

## Controversies

### Noise Pollution

    Treien Stony Stratford Airport is the biggest contributor to noise pollution in southern Treien. Residents around Oldham, Stony Stratford, Kreybord-Washington, Yistikal, Trading Estate and Rechtdaai complained about the amount of noise pollution in Stony Stratford Airport as the flight path for landing in both runways crosses apartment housing around the area.

Treien Stony Stratford was built in a former air base and a former industrial park, however rapid urbanisation around the area made Stony Stratford Airport no longer feasible, hence why Treien Athberg Airport was built, but passengers and airlines disliked Athberg due to its location away from the city and its lack of facilities. Treien Stony Stratford now complies with a curfew system and paies the City of Treien and the LGA's of Stony Stratford, Oldham and Kreybord-Washington noise tax.
South Central

**South Central** (officially: **Union of Zuid-Centraal**) is a state in Central-East Ostrobia in South Island. It's capital is Dazalum in the south west of the state, however the largest city is Bsu. South Central is the newest primary state in Ostrobia, formed by the amalgamation of Transbal, Proijta and Baai van Baalen in 1990.

South Central has the highest proportion of Ostrobian speakers who are first line speakers and is the one of the two states with a English speaking minority (the other is Prethenia). The only two towns that have a notable English speaking majority are Stanley Osaldon and Solihull-Bodemroup.

South Central's history is rich in diversity and many groups including the Stratoherrans, Scandinavians, Hyenians, Dutch and the British have settled in the modern day South Central state.

## Government

   South Central's government has a majority UOCP government with some SDP and ISP state councilors serving in the state parliament. South Central government meets at State Government House in Dazalum and controls it from there.

As with any Ostrobian primary state, the state government is responsible for education, housing, planning, highways, police, fire, ambulance, waste disposal, environmental health and revenue collection.

Its current premier is Maurits-Jan Neulen (UOCP).

### Constituent Territories

Unlike other primary states, South Central is made up of constituent territories insted of counties. Before 1990, Transbal, Proijta and Baai van Baalen were seperate states, however the Minister for Federal State Affairs suggested that the three states will need to be amalgamated to form South Central. This caused controversy between the three states, however following a referendum on state status, it was decided to combine all of the three states in to one.

The three constituent teritories are Transbal which covers Bsu, Proijta which covers Dazalum and Baalen which covers Talo Huberstein. Constituent territories have the same role as counties in other states. It borders Northern Heblo, Heblo Frontier, Stratoherran Speaking Hyenia, Mid Hyenia and Far Eastern Hyenia.
Caster Gale

**Caster Gale** is a town of 6,199 people. It is in northern New North Wales near the National Territory. It is mostly a dairy-farming town, however it has expanded to include a science and research park as well in the nearby Science Centre of the North West.

 Line length

The **South Eastern Direct Rail Link ('***SEDRL'***)** also known as **High Speed Two** is an partially built high speed railway that links up Treien Victoria to Noel City via Setto, Bsu and Donjekt. The High Speed section of track is partially built from just outside of Thutt to Char-du-Soixante in Prethenia and from Bsu to Noel.

The highspeed line was constructed in sections. Section One at the South was constructed from 2003 to 2008, whilst Section Two was partially built from 2006 to 2010.

The SEDRL was plagued with construction problems and cost overuns, especially towards New North Wales whereby planners and state authorities could not decide an alternative route from Thutt. This is due to the Thutt Viaduct, first built in 1863. The viaduct is very recognisable to locals and nearly all locals and the Ministry of Histroical Preservation refused to allow the demolition of the historic viaduct. SEDRL was also critcised for being a white elephant with no specific purpose. It also bypasses a lot of stations in major population areas in New North Wales, Prethenia, South Central and Hyenia which causes concern about noise pollution.

By 2011 the project was cancelled due to a referendum held by residents in Oppingdon and Thunet councils on the future of the route. The project was also cancelled due to opposition from South Central, Prethenian, Hyenian and New North Welsh councilors.

The project is thought to be costing well over $1 billion.

## History

### Foundation

The SEDRL came about when the Western Mainline was first opened in 1988. At the time, the Ministry of Transportation was looking for new high speed routes

## Route

### Operations

The route is currently predominately used by Southern Direct High-Speed services from Treien Victoria to Noel via Setto, Bsu and Donjekt. The route is also used by Prethenia State Railway in peak hours as the tracks are compatible with standard rail trains.

### Rolling Stock

The line uses OBR Class 410's also known as the OTEC Taligent 3. These were manufactured in 2010 and entered service in 2011. They have a top speed of 250 km/h, however their operating speed is limited to 200 km/h.
Colts

**Colts Supermarkets Ostrobia Pty Ltd**, trading as **Colts**, is an Ostrobian supermarket chain owned by Wesfarmers.

Founded in 1864 in Mosatto in Dardly, Holmes by Wilhelm Korinton Colt, it operates 836 supermarkets throughout Ostrobia. Colts has over 100,000 employees and rivals Albert Heijn, Little Green Market, Metro, Lidl and Aldi.
Hyenian

*Note: This page is currently under construction.*

**Hyenian** (***Uonsen***) is a language spoken in the Hyenia autonomous region of Ostrobia, and in some other places by a minority. It is considered to be an isolate, unrelated to any other language in the continent of Europe. Its exact origins are unknown, with some grouping it into a greater Hyenic language family, others connecting it to languages spoken further out in Asia.

It is a majority language in Hyenian, with 57.7% of the population of the state claiming knowledge of the language: many citizens are bilingual. It is considered an official language for discussion in the Ehméstn Nákess, the legislative chamber of Hyenia, and in the Hyenian media.

The language was brought from an unknown location by ethnic Hyenians. During the times of Ostrobian greater nationalism in the mid-19th century, the language was suppressed. A process of revitalisation up to the present day means that the language has managed to survive and become widely spoken again.

Grammatically, it is a highly agglutinative language with mostly free word order.

## Usage

   Hyenian is the primary language of Hyenia and is spoken by 57.7% of the population. It is the smallest out of the five major languages of Ostrobia. Most speakers are bilingual in English and Hyenian or and some are even trilingual with English, Stratoherran and Hyenian for Stratoherran Speaking Hyenia and English, Ostrobian and Hyenian for the north of the state.

Outside of Hyenia, Hyenian has little use at all as most major signs are in English and most of the population speaks English as its lingua franca of Ostrobia.

## Grammar

 Mid
 Low

No vowels are rounded, and acute-accented vowels are pronounced as long.

Doubled consonants are pronounced separately, e.g. *sika* and *sikka* are pronounced differently and have different meanings.

The addition of affixes that affect a neighbouring vowel should be noted. If the vowel is the same, it will become long, e.g. *a + a* = *á*. If there is already a long vowel, triple vowels are not permitted, therefore the consonant *h* will be added.

2000 Motorway Plan

The **2000 Motorway Plan** is the chief plan for motorway construction in Ostrobia. Under it, large parts of country road, such as the M78 in Holboken and the M65 in South Central near Talo-Huberstein, were upgraded to motorway status. Some parts of the metro plan have not been built, for instance the M6 Hebzo Park Bypass, which is still under construction, and the planned M51 'under the valley' tunnel at Sktol.

It runs concurrent with the 1987 Metropolitan Roads Plan and the 1995 Shared Transport Plan.
2021 Federal Election

The **2021 Ostrobian Federal Election** was held on May 24, 2021; electing the 393 seats of the Federal Chamber in Parliament. Incumbent Alexandria Zwanskee and the Social Democratic Party won the election on a landslide, gaining 48 seats, primarly focused around the North West area and infills of metropolitian areas. For the Union of Conservative Parties, this election produced the second worst results of the history of the party. The Liberal Party lost seats in Aranley and Treien to the Social Democratic Party.

Multiple factors indicated a strong SDP win, such as its handling with the emergency situtation, high approval ratings from a diverse range of the population, strong economic rebound after the recession and disillusionment from country-club, metropolitian elite North Westerners being overlooked by Dutch speaking Conservative South Centralers.

Since this election took place during the outbreak, several measures were initiated such as social distancing and hand washing.

The Office

***The Office*** is an American mockumentary sitcom television series that depicts the everyday work lives of office employees at the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. It aired on NBC from March 24, 2005, to May 16, 2013, spanning a total of nine seasons. Based on the 2001–2003 BBC series of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, it was adapted for American television by Greg Daniels, a veteran writer for *Saturday Night Live*, *King of the Hill*, and *The Simpsons*. It was co-produced by Daniels' Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille Productions (later Shine America), in association with Universal Television. The original executive producers were Daniels, Gervais, Merchant, Howard Klein, and Ben Silverman, with numerous others being promoted in later seasons.

Like its British counterpart, the series was filmed in a single-camera setup without a studio audience or a laugh track to simulate the look of an actual documentary. The series debuted on NBC as a mid-season replacement and aired 201 episodes for its run. *The Office* originally featured Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and B. J. Novak as the main cast; however, the series experienced numerous changes to its ensemble cast during its run. Notable stars outside the original main cast include Ed Helms, Rashida Jones, Amy Ryan, Mindy Kaling, Craig Robinson, James Spader, Ellie Kemper, and Catherine Tate.

*The Office* was met with mixed reviews during its short first season, but the following seasons, particularly Carell's performance, received significant acclaim from television critics as the show's characters, content, structure, and tone diverged considerably from the British version. These seasons were included on several critics' year-end top TV series lists, winning several awards such as a Peabody Award in 2006, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Golden Globe Award for Carell's performance, and four Primetime Emmy Awards, including one for Outstanding Comedy Series, in 2006. The eighth season was criticized for a decline in quality, with Carell's departure in season seven seen as a contributing factor. However, the ninth and final season ended the series with a generally positive response. The series finale, which originally aired on May 16, 2013, was viewed by an estimated 5.7 million viewers and garnered critical acclaim. In 2016, *Rolling Stone* named *The Office* one of the 100 greatest television shows of all time.

Treien Athberg International Airport

**Treien Athberg International Airport** (IATA: TRH, ICAO: EOTH) is the fifth largest airport in Ostrobia after Treien Stony Stratford Airport and Seblo International Airport, located about 10 km north east of Treien near Haswell LGA. It served 4,667,982 passengers in 2013. It is the third Treien Airport and the newest, with Treien Stony Stratford Airport, serving other larger international flights and domestic flights and Baywarten Airport, which serves domestic flights.

## History

The airport was first envisioned in 1987 as a low-cost alternative to Treien Stony Stratford. In around 1990, the small village of Athberg was chosen as the new location, and it was built over 6 years. Its first flight was on March 24, 1996 at 3.30 pm to Stockholm, and first arrival was at 2.35 pm the same day from London. Treien Stony Stratford is busiest as it is more closer to Treien and has good transport links. Due to this Treien Athberg is mostly used by budget airlines such as Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizz Air and Jet Ostrobia.

The original airport had two terminals: North (for international flights) and South (for domestic flights). By 2004, these have been renamed to 1 and 2. Due to complaints from the local farmers, the airport operated on a curfew until September 2002, when it was lifted.

The curfew returned for testing for a short while in April 2016, the decision was to not keep it.

## Runways

There are two runways at Athberg, Runway 1 (05/23) and Runway 2 (01/19).

## Terminals

The airport has two terminals:

* Terminal 1 (domestic)
* Terminal 2 (international)

## Ground transportation

The R3 links the airport with the M1 at the north and Treien at the south.
Bus **24** operates directly to the city, only stopping at Haswell Central and Victoria. Also buses **302**, **304**, **309** and night service **N-17** stop at the airport interchange.

There is no direct rail service as it is expensive and will strain the already crowded Maine Mainline and the North Eastern Route, although there are plans to link up the Airport with Treien Hudston Bay station via Haswell railway station but it includes demolishing some of the Frinksville and Jewlywood suburb of Haswell and building a new motorway bridge under the R3.

**Forligetvedsidenafklippernepådenstrømmendekredasflod** (short:**Forligetkredasflod**) (Locator Code: **N32**) is a small village in Hyenia, with about 900 inhabitants. It has become famous for its unusual, long name, which supposedly translates to 'The settlement beside the rocks upon the flowing Kredas River' in Hyenian.
Open Access Area

An **Open Access Area** is when multiple cities in different states share the same city council and as a result share the same transport system and infrastructure, freely live and work between the cities and are exempt from normal state tax and taxing is paid to the city, not to the state that they belong in, which is similar to Treien and Seblo, which are both independent cities, and as a result the city council controls the transport system, infrastructure, taxing and regulations.

Most of these cities used to be one city, but was divided when the State Plan took effect in 1957.

## Open Access Areas

* Aranley, Heblo, Stratoherra City, Stratoherra, Dazalum, South Central - **Central Belt**

## History

Before colonial control of mail started in 1803, mail was passed on by ad hoc arrangements between transporters, storekeepers and settlers. It was common for early settlers to ride miles out of their way to deliver neighbour's mail.

The first organisation of a postal service in Ostrobia commenced in 1809 of ex-convict Wiliam Nichol, founding the New Edinburgh General Postal Company. He would advertise in the New Edinbrugh Times the names who received mail.

Postal services grew throughout the British Ostrobian colonies as they were esthablished. A regualar overland services between Treien and Ostrobia Beigen started in 1845, making the company renamed to Ostrobia Post. In 1850, the newly independent Ostrobian government allowed ex-convicts to stay in Ostrobia as long as they renounced their British citizenship for an Ostrobian one. Ostrobia Post continued to expand. As relationships with the Netherlands continued to bloom, a steamship service for mail from the Netherlands was introduced in 1879.
