'''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]] and uncivilized lands 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 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 [[Salovia]] in 12 A.D. after a 700-year-long Antiquity. Salovia existed for another 1,973 years until the major polities, Baykalia, Tuvalia, Altaya, Volova, and Kostroma, began the [[Salovian Civil War]]. These polities, after the Civil War, founded the three nations of Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia.
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.




==Etymology==
==Etymology==
The name "Baykalia" is a combination of the words Bay and Kalivia. The "Bay" in the name simply alludes to the Bay of Suvol 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.

<Paragraph detailing Baykalian Genocide>


The genocide left Baykalians in a devastating state, having only approximately 280,000 people left after the slaughter. Following the conclusion of the civil war, the remaining Baykalian population, known colloquially as the Sisvir (meaning approximately "The lucky few" in Ancient Kostuvian), formed the nation Baykalia on June 19th, 2006. As a result of the low population relative to what it was prior to the genocide, population recovery was seen as the primary goal to ensure political and social succession. The efforts of the nation, which was a combination of selective immigration (initially from neighbors Caltharus and Xiopothos who held a small Baykalian minority within their borders, but later from other fascist-style nations like [[Fortuna]]) and reproduction, brought the population to 4,757,153 people by 2015. As such, a single generation currently makes up 94.1% of the population, all 20 years or younger. Most from this generation have been enrolled in a program called the [[Youth Scouts of Baykalia]], an organization designed to teach Posolist views. The minor-to-adult ratio is currently an astounding 11 to 1. This ratio resulted in the vast majority of the nation to regress back to an agrarian economy. However, the richest provinces of the nation still maintain a standard of living comparable to cities such as Novosibirsk and Nocturne. Due to this extreme income inequality, the Baykalian unemployment rate is technically 95%, and most of the population has begun to participate in homesteading and subsistence farming, and do not participate in the world economy.
The genocide left Baykalians in a devastating state, having only approximately 300,000 people left after the slaughter. Following the conclusion of the civil war, the remaining Baykalian population, known colloquially as the Sisvir (meaning roughly "The lucky few" in Ancient Kostuvian), formed the nation Baykalia on June 19th, 2006 following the same borders as its defunct polity counterpart. As a result of the low population relative to what it was prior to the genocide, population recovery was seen as the primary goal to ensure political and social security and success. The efforts of the nation, which was a combination of selective immigration (initially from neighbors Caltharus and Xiopothos who held a small Baykalian political minority within their borders, but later from fascist-style nations like [[Fortuna]]) and reproduction, brought the population to 2,535,887 people by 2015. As a result, a single generation currently makes up ___% of the population, all 20 years or younger. Most from this generation have been enrolled in a program called the [[Youth Scouts of Baykalia]], a state-sponsored organization designed to teach Posolist views. The minor-to-adult ratio is currently an astounding __ to 1. This ratio, paired with the previous humanitarian crisis caused by the genocide, resulted in the vast majority of the nation to regress back to an agrarian economy. However, the richest provinces of the nation, namely Chita and Irkutsk, still retained their hold in the world economy, maintaining a standard of living comparable to cities such as Astrakhan and Nocturne. This extreme income inequality has created a unique situation in which the Baykalian unemployment rate is technically __%, as most of the population uses homesteading and subsistence farming to live, and do not participate in world trade, the exceptions being the richest sections of Chita and Irkutsk.

After the <Paragraph about previous democratic system and rise of the Posols>


As of 2017, Baykalia has been under a totalitarian system in which all the power is focused within the Executive branch of government under the rule of [[Lady Posol]], with the other two branches becoming more symbolic in their roles, rather than holding any meaningful power of their own.
