Zelinistan

**Zelinistan**, or **United Federation of Zelinistan** or alternatively **Republic of Zelinistan**, was a democratic republic created in 76 A.A. It was situated in the continent of Campestria, in the northern region. In 139 A.A, rising tensions inside the country, wars with Rovana and threathened relations with other countries, lead to the collapse of the republic.

After the collapse, and with support from Laitania, the monarchy was re-established, based on new values and goals, for prosperity, equality, and striving economy, like the Golden Years of Zelinistan once were.

The royal family returned, and once again the country was renamed back to it's traditional name, **Kingdom of Alëvka**.

## History

**A.A 76:** The Republic of Zelinistan is born, from the ashes of the old monarchy. Creation of the Pan-Tundra Alliance, an alliance with neighborhood countries of Zelinistan. Some technology is being shared, and each helps the others.

**A.A 86:** With technical advancements and usage of natural fertilizer, the country totally recovers from the famine, and the quality of life in the country increase. The next 10 years are considered the Golden Years of Zelinistan, with massive technological breakthrough in important sectors, like lead-acid electric batteries, motors, diesel engines, aluminium and steel alloys, which lead to massive mechanization of the whole country.

**A.A 94:** A massive Zelinistani commercial ship sinks north of Kalytria during a journey through the cold sea. Casualties are catastrophic and the ship manufacturing branch is frozen for inspection of the quality of the alloys, which is believed to have ruptured after a hit with an iceberg. Knowledge of how alloys react to temperature and hardness is influenced, which ultimately leads in breaktroughs in different domains.

**A.A 106:** With tensions all over the countries at its peak, the government decide to invest big into weapons, Zelinistan being a medium sized country and not yet on par with other countries army.

Zelinistani Air Force now operates modern monoplane aluminium fighters, and railways are constructed all over the country to quickly transfer loads from North to South…

Massive machines and explosives are used to construct those roads & railways through the mountains.

**A.A 115-118 Zelinistan Coal Riots of 115-118:** Since 115, the main material excavation companies, ZelEx Plc. (owned by the Ministry of Power and Fuel Requisition, a department of the Zelinistan Government) and Vladiv Mining Corporation have been refusing to grant workers pay rises, leading to nationwide strikes across the nation.

Initially the strikes were peaceful picket line affairs, but as the situation wasn’t being resolved, violence stirred and workers from the coal industry rioted and caused chaos. Throwing rocks and firebombs, protestors clashed with police in the streets. With the peaceful civilians in terror and total damage cost skyrocketed, the government decided to dispatch the entire fleet of ZNPRU's Anti Riot vehicles. The well equipped ZNPRU (Zelinistan National Police Riot Unit) stood up to the rioters to protect the public from the violence. Most aggressive packs were dealt with a flashbang or smoke grenades to confuse the masses.

The government and mining companies organized reunions to hear what the workers wanted, and settled on an agreement that the companies would give a 5-10% raise depending on the productivity of the workers.

With most of the workers happy of the change, the riots ceased. Some small extremist groups raised from those riots and are now being actively hunted by the government, scared of a revolution in a time where Weissesdaume is already very unstable.

**A.A 130:** Creation of council for Zelinistan’s research in space and collaborators.

**A.A 139: Collapse of the Republic of Zelinistan during the Laitanian invasion of Pan Tundra and Zelinistan-Rovana conflict. Cause: internal conflicts, revolutions, countrywide protests; succeeded by the *Kingdom of Alëvka.***
