'''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 [[Oscrelia]] to the east and [[Caltharus]] to the west, and exists south of [[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 Caltharus and the Kalivian Mountains, with a small southern border with [[Kostromastan]]. Baykalia also has control of five islands that are located in the Caven/Morstaybishlian Sea. The two islands to the northwest are called [[The Diremikov Isles]], the largest island is [[Beatrice Island]], home to the final resting place of most of the medieval [[Salovia|Salovian]] royal family. The islands below Beatrice Island are, from north to south, [[Miltrevol Island]], [[Rorik's Rock]], and [[Posol Island]], previously called [[Remia Isle]]. 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 the vast majority of the nation's mines and oil fields are located.

The History of Baykalia is deeply intertwined with its neighbors [[Tuvaltastan]], [[Tivot]], and Kostromastan, beginning as far back as 1,700 B.C. with the ancient [[Kostuvian Empire]], which, at it's peak, spanned much of central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, to include part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The Kostuvian Empire existed in some form for approximately a millenium, being succeeded by [[Salovia]] in 12 A.D. after a 700-year-long Antiquity. Salovia existed for nearly 2,000 years with a number of brief interruptions in that reign, including the [[Splitting of the Crown]] and the [[Salovian Interregnum]]. Eastern Aurora as a whole would be united under Salovia until the largest polities, Baykalia, Tuvalia, Altaya, Volova, and Kostroma, began the [[Salovian Civil War]] in response to various political issues. These polities, after the Civil War, founded the three nations of Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia.
