The Republic of Illyria is a democratic nation that encompasses the real-life countries of Slovenia, Croatia & Bosnia and Herzegovina. Being a democracy, Elections are held on a monthly basis to determine the government structure. The nation has focused on modern city planning and road infrastructure to help connect everyone to the capital city, Adamstown, which itself is modern and pedestrian-friendly. Illyria is the head state of the Adriatic Union.

## Companies in Illyria

The Republic of Illyria is home to a fair amount of companies. These all work to provide a good quality of life for citizens and also allow for ecomonic growth through private companies. Anyone can set up a company in Illyria, so long as they have a valid address within the nation to base their company HQ. Below are a list of all the major companies in Illyria:

* Illyrian Road and Rail (Government Run)
* Illyrian Power Co. (Government Run)
* IMW Group
* BalkaNet
* PetroBalkans

## Ethnic Division

Being in the balkans, there is no doubt that the Republic of Illyria is ethnically divided. The government has attempted to combat this by promoting unity, co-operation and also some form of autonomy in the regions.

As shown at the side, the country is divided into six states. The majority of civilians are happy with the situation currently, and the promotion of unity and co-operation has helped a lot in bringing the nation together to celebrate everyone's differences, and as such, there are a lot of national holidays throughout the year.

The situation may look promising, but you can't please everyone. Most notably, the region of East Srpska highly criticises the current situation, stating that the government are just playing a massive game to fool everyone into being happy with the situation just so they can keep control. Riots and rebellions are fairly common across East Srpska, which leaves the future of the state being questioned. The Illyrian president trying his best to ignore the issues in East Srpska, and general elections are proving that the independence party is becoming more and more favourable

## Transportation

The Republic of Illyria has a fairly large national road and highway network which is managed by the state-owned Illyrian Road and Rail company. Roads are categorised based on importance and road quality. The roads are categorised as follows:

* IL - Trunk roads, most used and main routes around the country (signposted e.g. IL-1)
* A - Primary roads, mainly used to connect towns and cities together (signposted e.g. A1)
* B - Secondary roads, mainly used to connect more remote areas (signposted e.g. B1)
* C - Single track roads, mainly used to connect very remore areas (signposted e.g. C1)

The smaller the roads, the more remote they are and as such, the less traffic they see. Sometimes this isn't the case, and if the government feel that a smaller road is seeing heavier traffic flows than they thought, the road should get upgraded. Some smaller roads aren't clearly signposted either due to their insignificance. Speed limits in Illyria vary depending on where you are and the road conditions. Generally, IL class roads have a limit of 16 blocks per second, but are derestricted in some areas (indicated as X on signs). A class roads have a limit of 12 blocks per second, and B and C roads have a limit of 10 blocks per second. Any road with a footpath next to it has a speed limit of 8 blocks per seocnd.

## General Infrastructure

For a long time on the server, the Republic of Illyria had the worst power system of any developed nation. Power outages were frequent, like the one that occured on the 13/12/2021, which resulted in a state of emergency nationwide. The incumbent "Illyrian Union Party" failed to implement subsequent fixes to help fix the power crisis, along with reforms to the way the power grid was run. Eventually, once the "People's Socialist Party" were elected, plans were put forward and approved for a Biomas Power Plant on the outskirts of Illyria.
