'''The Serene People's Republic of Baykalia''', commonly known as [[Baykalia]], is a nation that exists on the continent [[Aurora]] that has a large border with [[Xiopothos]] to the west and [[Caltharus]] to the east, and exists south of [[Nation/East Malaysia|East Malaysia]]. The nation, with a Nominal GDP of $1.134 Billion has abysmal income inequality, with the richest 6% holding 95% of the wealth. Baykalia is wedged between the countries Xiopothos and Caltharus, with a small southern border with [[Kostromastan]]. Baykalia also has control of five islands that are located in the Caven Sea. The largest city and capital Chita, together with Irkutsk, hold the nation's richest 25%. 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 little to no farms exist.

'''<LONGFORM NAME>''', commonly known as [[Biramura]], is a nation on the continent of [[Aurora]] that borders, from east to west, [[Kaltariezh]], [[Volova]], and [[Oscrelia]]. Biramura also has control of two islands in the [[Morstaybishlian Sea]], known as [[K'aribch'eebi]]. 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.



The History of Baykalia is greatly intertwined with its neighbors [[Tuvaltastan]] and Kostromastan, and goes back as far as 1,700 B.C.E., beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their immense empire that encompassed central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The [[Kostuvian Empire]] existed in some form for over a millenium, and was succeeded by [[Kostuvastan]] in 12 A.D. after a 700-year-long Antiquity. Kostuvastan existed for another 1,973 years until the three major Houses, the Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostroms, began the [[Kostuvastan Civil War]]. The three Houses, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia.




==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name "Baykalia" is a combination of the words Bay and Kalivia. The "Bay" in the name simply represents the bay on the north coast. The "kal" stems from the "Kal" in the name "Kalivian Mountains," the mountain range that splits the nation into two sections.

===Prehistory===
===Separation of Kostuvastan===
(See [[Kostuvastan Civil War]])


===Early History===
After becoming an independent state separate from Kostuvastan, Baykalia began working to repopulate the country which had suffered horrendously devastating casualties throughout the war. Nonetheless, the remaining 280,000 people who survived the war quickly established a constitution around simple voting.


===Suvolic Empire===
===Recovery from the Near-Genocide===
The Baykalians were a devastated group, having only approximately 280,000 people left after the slaughter. After the war, the 280,000, better known as the 280K, formed the nation Baykalia on June 19th, 2006. Due to the dangerously low population, reproduction was encouraged, and the efforts of the original 280,000 managed to bring the population up to 4,757,153 people in 2015. As such, a single generation currently makes up 94.1% of the population, all 16 years or younger most of which have been put through the Youth Scouts program in [[The Veridian Union]]. The parent-to-offspring ratio is currently an astonishing 22 children for every two parents. This very worrying ratio resulted in the vast majority of the nation reverting back into a semi-medieval economy. The richest of the population still maintain a standard of living comparable to cities such as Aura and Tarov. As such, the Baykalian unemployment rate is technically 95%, and most of the population maintains at least one farm per family.


===Modern-Day Baykalia===
===The Azure Wars===

Currently, Baykalia is under an Oligarchic system in which all the power is being focused in the Executive branch of government, with the other two branches gradually losing more and more power. Under the rule of [[Lady Posol]], Baykalia is also gradually improving its economy, though the income equality in the nation remains dismal, with only about 30,000 people holding jobs, the rest being unemployed.

===Governmental System===
===Governmental System===
As of March 13th, 2017, Baykalia was converted into a crony oligarchy, with the Clan Leader and members of the Elite Council having total political control of the nation. Baykalia was originally a direct democracy, consiting of a judicial and executive branch. The system of government was altered to an oligarchic system upon the accession of Lady Posol as the Clan Leader (CL), following multiple scandalous actions taken prior to Lady Posol's candidacy for CL, including a series of mergers performed by Posol Industries that resulted in Posol Industries obtaining a monopoly within the country, the installation of a universal daycare center/ recreational center that essentially brainwashed the youth of Baykalia to obey the will of Lady Posol. This daycare also included a recreation center for children ages 16 and up, those age groups being able to vote. Upon the 2017 election, 83% of people ages 16-18 had voted for Lady Posol, resulting in a landslide victory for Mrs. Posol. Hours after taking office, Posol announced her choices for the Elite Council, the council of advisors to the CL, those choices being Lord Remis Posol (spouse of Lady Posol and CEO of Posol Industries), Yorov Worovich (CEO of Baykalian 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 Baykalia voting for the termination of the Judicial Branch, supplying Lady Posol and her Council with complete control over the people of Baykalia.
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.

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.

===Domestic Policy===
===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===
===Foreign Policy===
Lady Posol has announced that she wishes to shift its relations from the Auroran Continental Assembly to more fascist nations like the Veridian Union and The Second Fortunan Empire, and further increase the power of Posol Industries in the global market.

There is currently no major military force in Baykalia, due to the chaos of the Baykalian Genocide.

===Food===
Traditional foods are not typically made by Baykalians, as making such foods would require too much time out of raising children.

There are no official holidays observed by the Baykalian government, but enough vacation days are given so that the major holidays, and some other smaller events can be celebrated with family. The typical number of vacation days given is 36 days.
