'''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 the capital city Chita, holdtogether approximately 62% of the population,with Irkutsk, hold the secondnation's largestrichest city, holding 1,471,471 people and Chita holding 1,477,964 people25%. 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.

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 1,032over yearsa 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 cultureHouses, groupsthe (Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostros)Kostroms, began the [[Kostuvastan Civil War]]. The three culture groupsHouses, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia.

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.

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. Due to the small number of eligible voters, this system was easily set up, as smaller numbers can typically get things done quicker.

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.

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 influencedessentially and propagandizedbrainwashed the youth of Baykalia to becomeobey the supportivewill 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 incumbents 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.

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 ThreeSecond StatesFortunan of FortunaEmpire, and further increase the power of Posol Industries in the global market.
