The largest city Chita, together with the second-largest Irkula, are host to around one third of the population. Farming is very common in the northern half of the country, due to the lush plains there, while the southern half of the country is engulfed in desert, where the vast majority of the nation's mines and oil fields are located. The nation, with a Nominal GDP of $1.134 Billion has an incredibly high income inequality.

Governmental System

As of March 13th, 2017, Biramura was converted into a totalitarian dictatorship, with the President, later replaced with the position of High Chancellor, and members of the High Council having total political control of the nation. Biramura was originally a direct democracy, consiting of a judicial and executive branch. The system of government was altered to a totalitarian system upon the accession of Lady Posol as High Chancellor, following multiple controversial actions taken prior to Lady Posol's candidacy for High Chancellor, including a series of mergers performed by Posol Industries that resulted in Posol Industries obtaining a monopoly within the country, the installation of a re-education facility posing as a universal daycare center/ recreational center, which, according to defectors, teaches its pupils to obey the will of Lady Posol. The facility does also include an actual recreation center for children ages 16 and up, those age groups being able to vote, but only those who are selected by the teachers may utilize it, according to sources. Upon the 2017 general election, 83% of people ages 16-18 had voted for Lady Posol, resulting in a landslide victory for her. Hours after taking office, Posol announced her choices for the High Council, those choices being Yorov Worovich (CEO of Biramuran Broadcasting Service), Tivia Firivia (CEO of The Kuba Group, a company focused around children's products and services), and Jorkovol Wolinski (COO of Posol Industries). On April 3rd of the same year, Lady Posol proposed the decrease of power in the Judicial Branch. A vote took place a month later on May 3rd, with the people of Biramura voting for the termination of the Judicial Branch, supplying Lady Posol and her Council with complete control over the nation.

Domestic Policy

Much of Biramuran domestic policy centers around the development of and the improvement in Biramuran's quality of life. Examples include the construction of the Chita-Irkutsk high-speed rail system, which includes the Grand Kalivian Tunnel, which goes directly through the base of the Kalivian Mountains, and the development of vertical farms within the city of Chita. The southern province of Irkutsk also has implemented plans to better integrate itself economically with the Kostrom province of Nalachik, under the guidance of Lady Posol's subordinates.

Foreign Policy

Lady Posol has announced that she wishes to shift its relations from the Auroran Continental Assembly to more like-minded nations and organizations like the Veridian Union, The Second Fortunan Empire, and more recently the Vothetrian Worker's Party. Recent events also allude to Lady Posol's attempts to increase the influence of Posol Industries around the world, with Floating Market Company handing the logistics of its operations over to Posol Industries.

Military

There is currently no major military force in Biramura, due to the chaos of the Biramuran Genocide. A multitude of military vessels and vehicles are in reserve, and are not currently used by Biramura. In preparation for when a military can be supported, there are five officer positions that have been established: Commander, General, Second General, Colonel, and Captain. In recent years, the Youth Scouts of Biramura has reformed itself to essentially serve as a militia-like force.

Geography

FASCIST PIZZA IS GONE

The northern plains are relatively humid, while the desert is consistently hot and dry.

Much of the natural wildlife in the north has been driven out by historical farmland expansion.

Agriculture

The entire northern half of Biramura is predominantly farmland, the exception being Chita. In order to prevent any disease killing off the plants, the largest-produced crops are grown in the same fields. Growing them in the same fields boost all the crops' immune systems.

Industry

A multitude of crops are grown throughout the northern plains, with little space for commercial industries. As such, the major cities of Biramura have begun to grow vertically so that all current farmland can be preserved. In regards to commercial industries, Posol Industries, which has grown from its initial delivery business to now cater to many more powerful groups, most prominently Serenitech. Due to recent political shifts, all commercial business within the nation has been drastically restricted so that Posol Industries is the only company allowed to freely operate with no regulations. Other companies may exist, but are subject to harsh taxes and regulations.
