Swiftua

The **Republic of Swiftua** (**ROS**), commonly known as **Swiftua**, is a country located on the Isle of Swiftua consisting of 2 cities. It is the world's second largest country by both land and total area. It does not share any land borders, however has maritime borders with Klitia and Puszyen. The national capital of Swiftua is New Swiftua City which serves as its administrative economic and political centre.

## History

#### Beginnings

The first inhabitants of Swiftua migrated from modern-day Klitia over the Kunt River. Being a part of Klitia, the first settlement was established in the area of modern day Swifturiaport with construction of the 'Taylor Port', big infrastructure project consisting of grain silo and other storage.

#### Revolution and new status

After establishment of colonies over the left bank of the Kunt River, Klitia began to assert greater control in local colonial affairs, fomenting colonial political resistance. Along with that due to talks of nationalisation of Taylor Port due to its blockage of Kunt River, which Klitian government seemed unacceptable, The First Swiftuan Crisis began. Swiftua responded by signing Declaration of Independence and appointing Ms. Taylor as first President and Commander in-chief, however instead of battle Swiftuans fled in order to search for new lands.

The short lived New Swiftua settlement (Not to be confused with New Swiftua City) located thousands of blocks away was discovered days later by Klitian Navy and subsequently Ms. Taylor was pressured into negotiations over reunification under more equal status. Klitia did not recognise the Declaration of Independence and instead threatened war if re-unification does not occur passing anti-secessionist act in the parliament.

In the negotiations on Ice Blocks outside of Klitia, led by Jamie L. from Klitian Side and Ms. Taylor from Swiftuan Side two sides agreed on future status of Swiftua. The official outcome was that Saint Kunt will be divided between the Klitian and Swiftuan communities based on the divide by the River Kunt. The Klitian side of the city is still to be known as Saint Kunt where as the Swiftuan side is to be known as Swifturiaport. Alongside this an unconfirmed payment will be made from the central government to Swiftua to help bring them into line with the rest of the country. Along with that Swift was giving status of Special Administrative Region and was now on officially referred to as Special Administrative Region of Swiftua (Swiftua SAR).

#### Swiftuan SAR and Expansion

After the Ice Blocks agreement Swiftuan government encouraged revitalisation of East Klitia. The Swiftuan Government had approved a project at the brand-new Swifturiaport Planned City construction site, located in Taylor Port area. Designed to give ethnic Swiftuans a place to live and build the economy of the eastern territories of Klitia. The project 's first stage consists of the construction of a major pier area, a semi-underground market in the rock formations upon which the pier is built, and a port area with 4-8 berths in addition to a slight expansion to the port via the construction of a western wall to line it off and ensure citizen safety. Swifturia port had its energy grid connected to Mainland Klitia & served as key transit point between Klitia and Isle of Swiftua.

Expansion eastwards inland into the Isle of Swiftua was seen as a primary objective of Swiftua SAR, and as such New Swiftua City (NSC) was established around 700 blocks eastwards from Saint Kunt. Klitian Central Government helped construct first M-1 motorway from Swifturiaport to NSC and encouraged further economic development in order to calm down unrest inside the autonomous republic.

#### Federalisation & Second Swiftuan-Klitian Crisis

After the election of President Jamie into office and subsequent assassination attempt during inauguration by Swiftuan Nationalists, Central Government reaches compromise with autonomous republics: Klitia will turn from a centralised People's Republic into a Federation of three equal in their rights republics: Klitia, Swiftua and Puszyen. However this caused instability inside new country named Zazastan. Klitian Nationalist who were outnumbered in the Federal Parliament and no longer had any ability to voice their concerns caused unrest, Klitian Nationalists led by leoisyes united under new party called Klitian Nationalist Party (KNP) in order to protect their interests.

With leoisyes using his power as head of state run corporations, de-facto sanctioned Swiftuan companies in order to pressure for more power for Klitian government. The tension boiled to the point of Swiftua and Puszyen Federal Parliament Members impeaching President Jamie for his collaboration with Klitian Nationalists. After election of Ethan Jaeda into office tensions had boiled down with Swiftua & Puszyen having de-facto control over the entire Federation.

#### Independence & Commonwealth

Using the Klitian Constitutional Crisis as Klitian & Federal government were in disarray, Swiftua & Puszyen declared independence. Declaration of Independence followed cutting of all economic ties between new Commonwealth and Klitia, bridge over Kunt River was burnt along with rail links blown up. New Swiftuan-Puszynian Commonwealth accused Klitian Government of becoming fascist and colonisers.
