## Lore

### Overview

In the Beginning, the intention of the Provincial Union was to be a Democratic, Federal Republic in the Rhir. However, scandal, turmoil and the threat of a civil war lead to the Federal Government's overthrowal by the Monarchists, who avoided angering the in-fighting Provinces by forgoing empowering a known Hȇzat to power, and instead chose a random guy from a long-dead Hȇzatate much further south.

The Provincial Union's main goals are to remove Adrieline Influence in Transfandonia, and replace it with *Provincial* Influence in Transfandonia.

#### The Central Liberation Army

Formed in Vestak, the *Libdȇng Sudȇ Vȇntra* is a Terrorist Organisation/Rebellion, founded by Objech Processorists in the Vesperantines, that seeks to remove Adrieline Influence over the Vesperant, and for its unification with the Provincial Union. Generally unpopular with other anti-Adrieline forces in the country due to their "Bootlicking" of the Provincials, the LSV is generally pretty small, although in the late 810s it *did* become enough of a threat to force several members of the the Vesperantine Confederation to enact Conscription.

It's generally on life support in the form of scant Provincial Funding, although it's too small to do anything real (and also too small for the Adrielines to actually bother calling the I.P. out on it!)

### Trivia

* In several Provinces, it is illegal to break the law.
* It is unknown where the Kȇzarey came from, outside of it being in the south. According to him, he was once a Hȇzat, until he accidentally killed all of his Kȇvands.
	+ The Kȇzarey's accent is very odd, with much softer pronunciations of words that would usually be said a little more harshly.
* In spite of its efforts to come off as *Modern* and *Advanced wow so cool*, most of the P.U. is quite rural.
* While seemingly sparsely populated in small villages, the massive populations of the P.U.'s cities have given it the fourth highest population density in the Dataverse.
* Some people like to call the P.U. 'Provincia'.
	+ Good for them.
* The stars of the Flag and COA represent the Founding Provinces.

### Government

The Provincial Union is officially an absolute monarchy, governed by the Kȇzarey (Emperor), who possesses the spirit of the Transfandonian User. The closest thing to some kind of parliament is the Council of Hȇzats, a yearly convention of the local Provinces' Hȇzats to bring forward any problems or developments to the Kȇzarey, who sits above.

Unfortunately, the Kȇzarey is not that talkative, probably because of all the User Energy going through him or something. This means that he's often spoken for by the Kȇzarvorey (Voice of the Emperor), who happens to be (according to the Kȇzarey) the last Kȇvand of the Unajȇ Hȇzatate.

However, outside of larger cities in the large capital province, the Kȇzarey doesn't really have that much power. Here, everything is governed by the local Hȇzats in their *Provinces*. Provinces are unique from stuff like Nowy Republics or Auferstanden Reichsstaats, in that they can act very, very, *very* autonomous. There have been multiple, *recent*, instances of Provinces actively using their local garrisons to wage war against each other.

#### The Bafiric-Inafri Rivalry

The two largest Provinces (not counting the Capital) are *Bafiri* and *Inafra*, who also happen to be neighbors. They also *fucking hate each other*.

While this rivalry is almost as old as the Union itself, it seemed to be dying out, until the 811 Gȇzhȇzo, where Inafra's victory angered Bafiri, who tried to claim they cheated. The tensions *almost* broke into war, until the Kȇzarey ordered Bafiri to stand down.

In spite of that miss, the rivalry is hotter than ever. Some are worried that, no matter what, the 822 Gȇzhȇzo will cause an actual war. Even then, Inafra's territorial claims on Bafiri, as a result of not wanting to be landlocked anymore, have generated endless tension.

## Statistics

### Populous

The Provincial Union is home to around 178.6 Million people. The majority are Objech, although Culture varies wildly. The P.U. contains... uh.... a *lot* of Provinces, and around 5000 different Rhiric Cultures to boot.

### Military

The PKO, or Land Provincial Army, has around 1.8 Million 'trained' Soldiers, mainly due to 3-Year Mandatory Service for All Adults. The PKO is split into hundreds of thousands of 10-person Battalions.

The PKS, or Aerial Provincial Army, has about 232,000 active Personnel. They're split into many 30-pilot Squadrons.

The PKM, or Internet Provincial Army, has about 198,000 active Personnel. They're split into many 100-ship Squadrons.

### Economy

The Provincial Economy is mainly dependent on its @@, Neopetrol and Rhirwood exports, as well as its garbage labour laws meaning a lot of companies outsource manufacturing to it.

In terms of GDP, the Union has, as of 820 A.S, 1.32 Trillion UND, ranking it as the 21st highest-ranked economy in the Dataverse. It is *very* rapidly growing.

## Culture

### Language

The main language of the Provincial Union is *Provincial Rhiric* (Rhyri Purisimang), an amalgamation of Bafiric, Inamuti and Unasami Rhiric. Bafiric Rhiric is the second most used, although the country is home to about 60 other dialects of Rhiric.

Some Provincial Rhiric sentences used to teach the language include:

* "Vafir, Savami!" (Hello, comrade!)
* "Shavoy Kȇzarey Artjiȇr Vatsamang!" ("Eternally exist, our Emperor!", opening line of the national anthem.)
* "Savi Mȇko Laaris Vafir Suravid!" (Comrade, you smell like shit!)
* "Artji Vamunda" (Among Us)
* "Savi Mȇko Arrȇlveled Sura." (Adrielina smells like shit.)

### Tradition

Every 11 years, the government holds the *Grand Hȇzo* (Gȇzhȇzo), a large, Hȇzatate-style competition, involving a representative from every Province. With the Kȇzarey acting as Hȇzat, this Hȇzo can last an entire year, until only one remains, receiving a large reward. The Gȇzhȇzo acts not just as a way to maintain traditional Hȇzos *and* as entertainment, but also serves as a way for the Provinces to show off to each other. The next Gȇzhȇzo is to occur at the beginning of 822.

### Food

While many animals used to exist in the pre-GLO Rhir, nowadays, most food is based around farming. Seeing as only Objech live in the Rhir now, they've basically been forced to be vegan by nature.

Provincial Cuisine is extremely varied in spite of this, due to the massive amount of food from different cultures, but most notable is the country's national dish, Cȇbay, a stew of Kȇbads and Mȇess.

### Religion

While small parts of the country remain either Hȇzatican or Yezellion, most are Objech Processorist.

Objech Processorism is unique in that is states that, unlike most interpretations of post-GLO Processorism, the User of all Transfandonia does *still* exist, in the form of the Kȇzarey. The general somewhat cult-like worship of the Kȇzarey as the god-emperor of all Transfandonia is how Objech Processorism has gained the nickname "Cult of Ahrȇy".
