Sphercandinavia

# Provincial Republic of Sphercandinavia / The Republic (Work in progress)

## Small overview

Flag

The Provincial Republic of Sphercandinavia, also known as the Republic, is a nation located in northern Europe, controlling basically all of modern-day Finland, a small portion of modern-day Russia, a small portion of Sweden and a small but quite large portion of Norway.

The free military manpower is around of 2% in relation to the population, with the current population of 3.5 million people, the government of the nation is an Elective Monarchy, the Republic can amass up to 70,000 military forces. The military fights best during the winter though they need a large agricultural & fishing capability to actually sustain the 70,000 during the winter. The economy is doing good, the national bird is a bird called the Pergi, and the capital is Soulheyic, and finally, it has something called Partisan Response, where the population of Sphercandinavia, during an external invasion form militias to defend their nation. Only a small about of militias form though.

## Stats

### Government

The Elective Monarchy in the P.R.S. is quite unorthodox compared to its neighbours, although having a republican structure as it has a consul, which is elected by the parliament, and it has a king from a hereditary line which also has a very different role than most other king titles. And finally, the Parliament, which can veto the actions of the king if he is abusing his powers. Allow me to explain further;

Consul: The Consul administrates and manages the country, both economically, politically and socially.

King: They intervene in the consul's actions and can veto them if necessary, also leading the Military.

Parliament: Can veto the King's actions if necessary while also electing the Consul, it also does other things such as proposing laws, acts and regulations.

### Equality

In the Republic, acts, laws, and practices that were discriminative, were never really popular with most of the Sphercandinavian Parliament, which led to discriminative acts and laws not being put in place, and any already existing discriminative practices within Sphercandinavia got banned,

### Winter Advantage

The winter advantage of the Republic is due to heavy training for most soldiers for fighting in the winter, and also the added facts of the population being used to the snow, and the possibility, that if there's enough snow around the battlefield, that they could use it to make small igloos to house 1 or 2 people in for the night, maybe using it to be hidden on the battlefield, and possibly other things. Enemies also have disadvantages in the winter if they haven't trained soldiers for things in the winter, added onto that by snow being able to slow you down, not allowing the speed you could use cavalry. (Probably needs to be explained further, but I don't know what else to add.)

## History (350,000 B.D. - 250 A.D.)

(This contains the canon history from before the nation formed.)

### Sphercandinavian Migrations [350,000 B.D. - 70,000 B.D.]

Around 350,000 B.D., Spheroidics in Sphercandinavia today had an attempt to migrate to Iberia, but failed due to the creatures in way. Many returned back, but some stayed in the region of Switzerland and the region near modern day Alsace-Lorraine.

### Sphercandinavian Tribe formation [70,000 B.D. - 60,000 B.D.]

Around 10,000 years were spent forming tribes within the region and mostly had peace except for a few brutal conflicts amongst tribes. Once in a while there were large 2 year wars but those happened around every 70 years.

### Kingdom of Baltica [57,643 B.D. - 57,532 B.D.]

Around this time, a Sphercandinavian Kingdom known as the Kingdom of Baltica formed. When it was around, to remain stable, it was made out of small "provinces" that could keep the peace in the area and work with other ones nearby.

#### Formation

Around 57,643 B.D., the Kingdom of Baltica formed around the northern baltics, and from the start it began conquering the other tribes in large wars, or deals that would make them join the kingdom.

#### Sphercandinavian Great War [57,621 B.D. - 57,613 B.D.]

Around this time, Sphercandinavian tribes began to work with each other to either fight against or help the Kingdom of Baltica, some of them joining it in the process. The side that aligned with the Kingdom of Baltica raised a total of 24,000 across the entire coalition. The side that fought against them raised a total of 12,000, again across the entire coalition, leaving a total of 36,000 combined, which may have been large or small for the time, though, it was mostly the more densely populated areas fighting.

#### Sphercandinavia: War of Souls [57,599 B.D. - 57,593 B.D.]

Another kingdom began to form in the north, nicknamed the "Kingdom of the Soulless", had their horrible form of warfare make rumors spread that they destroy the souls of those who they killed, not letting them go to either Heaven or Hell.

##### War of Souls: Years 57,599 B.D. to 57,594 B.D.

In the beginning of the Spring of 57,599 B.D., the Ejyervhitrk d'Primayskive Cohaklision, also known as the First Coalition's Army, with around 36,000 soldiers from across the massive coalition, began their war. From 57,599 B.D. to 57,594 B.D., the First Coalition's army began to be rapidly pushed back, the south being pushed all the way back to Baltica's northern border with the Baltic sea, and the nations north of the Kingdom of the Soulless, though there were few, were crushed. However when in 57,594 B.D., when the Kingdom of the Soulless naval invaded Baltica, which ended up to be a big mistake. When they landed, the Kingdom of Baltica, currently having the majority of the coalition's troops within them, lured them deep into the territory and cut off their coast access. From there, every legion encircled of Soulless troops either had been wounded heavily or died. The Kingdom of the Souless, had just taken the largest hit in the war.

##### War of Souls: Year 57,593 B.D., Year of Victory

From here, the Kingdom of the Soulless began to lose on all fronts. From the east, they were driven out of what would become Warrior's Legion, and from the north, the former kingdoms that had been conquered began to form rebellions, and finally, from the south, the Kingdom of Baltica led a speedy advance to the Kingdom of the Soulless's capital. When they arrived, they put the capital under siege and sent some soldiers in to assassinate the king, which succeeded, alongside the breaking of the walls 4 days later, letting them storm into the city and capture it and the government. From there, the rest of the territories fell into chaos or was taken by the Coalition. Every Soldier of the kingdom of the Soulless, dead or alive, were burnt then had their bodies thrown into the sea.
