## About

The **Republic of Grozovia**, more commonly known as **Grozovia**, is a post-Soviet republic in the Green Sea region, north of the Caucasus Mountains. Grozovia is bordered by the Russian Federation to the south and west, Ardistan to the north and the Green Sea to the east. The capital, Zagorsk, is situated centrally on the eastern coastline and acts as the center of government and military administration for the nation. Other major settlements can be found along the nation’s coast, most notably the city of Beketov.

## History

Grozovia has been inhabited from at least the 6th Century, with Slavic peoples settling the area sometime around the 10th Century. Various dukedoms controlled the region until the nation was united in the 14th Century by Gojmir Homolka. Grozovia joined the Russian Empire in 1733, and only regained its independence upon the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.

Since its independence, Grozovia has maintained strong ties with its brother and ally to the north-east, Chernarus. In 2009, a civil war would erupt in the predominantly ethnically Russian province of South Zagoria, instigated by the Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star who sought to unify with Russia. When the conflict first erupted, Grozovia sent 1,500 troops in support of the Chernarussian Defence Forces. The two nations have been strategically and economically inseparable ever since.

## Government

In 1991, Grozovia established a unitary semi-presidential republic form of government in which the president is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and is the formal head of state. Grozovia’s legislative branch includes the 150-seat unicameral parliament, the Verkhovna Rada (Supreme Council) of Grozovia. The parliament is primarily responsible for the formation of the executive branch and the Cabinet of Ministers, headed by the prime minister. The president retains the authority to nominate the ministers of foreign affairs and of defence for parliamentary approval, as well as the power to appoint the prosecutor general and the head of the Security Service.

## Economy

Grozovia operates on an export-based economy. Its main products consist predominantly of budget-friendly motor vehicles, designed and manufactured by Balkov Motors, which are widely utilized both in the Green Sea region as well as throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Other industries include mining, manufacturing, and logging, though they only contribute to a minor portion of Grozovia's GDP.

In recent years, however, the export market has begun to stagnate in the face of continued regional tensions with neighboring Ardistan. Less quality-conscious markets have begun shifting towards cheaper labor, inferior materials and an overall disregard for safety procedures.

Grozovia maintains a small arms industry and exports its products to Eastern clientele; the Chinese-led CSAT coalition being amongst the biggest of its customers. The annually run ARMEX international military trade show is also held on occasion in Grozovia, and is sponsored by the private Canadian conglomerate Vrana Corp.

## Armed Forces

Grozovia maintains a standing military in the the form of the Grozovian Armed Forces, which serves as the nation's primary air, land, and sea defence force. Prior to 2021 reforms, the G.A.F. consisted primarily of conscripted citizens and loosely-organized militia groups. As of 2023, the Government of the Republic of Grozovia has put an end to selective service mandates, though some citizens have reported being visited in the night by intimidating men in black suits.
