'''The Confederation of Kostromastan''', commonly known as [[Kostromastan]], is a landlocked nation that exists on the continent of [[Aurora]] that borders Baykalia to the north, Tuvaltastan to the south, [[Thalria]] to the west, and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] to the northwest. As of 2015, the nation had a nominal GDP per capita of $14,425 and an estimated population of 20,003,248. The largest city [[Novgorod]] holds 4,768,513 individuals. The current nation hosting as the capital, [[Nolova]], holds a population of 1.2 million people when including its metropolitan area.
 
'''The Confederation of Kostromastan''', commonly known as [[Kostromastan]], was a landlocked nation that existed on the continent of [[Aurora]] that bordered [[Biramura]] to the north, [[Tuvaltastan]] to the south, [[Thalria]] to the west, and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] to the northwest. As of 2015, the nation had a nominal GDP per capita of $14,425 and an estimated population of 20,003,248. The largest city [[Novugdidi]] held 4,768,513 individuals prior to its dissolution. The last province to host the capital, [[Nolova]], had a population of 1.2 million people when including its metropolitan area as of the 2018 Census.
The history of Kostromastan is greatly intertwined with its neighbors [[Baykalia]] and [[Tuvaltastan]], and goes back as far as 1,700 B.C.E., beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their large empire that encompassed much of central and eastern 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 various forms for just over a millenium, and fell in 668 BCE. The cultural successor to the empire became [[Salovia|The Grand Monarchy of Salovia]] in 12 A.D after a long period of antiquity. Salovia existed for nearly two thousand years until the nation broke out into a deadly [[Salovian Civil War|civil war]]. Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia would replace what remained territorially of the nation.
 
Formed in 2006 as a direct result of both the [[Salovian Civil War]] and the [[Treaty of Astravili (2005)|2005 Treaty of Astravili]], the nation had been initially established as an interim government until a more comprehensive solution could be made that would better serve the diverse peoples of the [[Khermali River]] valley. A summit on the status of Kostromastan had been planned as early as 2008. However, in part due to the Kost-Tuva War of 2009-2010, the summit had been postponed until 2011. This summit also never came to pass, as the [[Volovan Conundrum]] resulted in further political stagnation on the question of Kostromastan. The idea of a summit had largely been neglected for years after 2011, until the advent of the 2017 [[Aurora-Pacific War]], in which the politically-decentralized nation took a vote on whether to join the war on the side of the Ethalrian-led Axis. The provinces of the nation's southern region all voted against joining the war, while the northern provinces voted to join. Nolova, the province that cast the deciding vote, also voted against war. However, due to the nature of the political structure of Kostromastan, the northern provinces simply amassed a local militia, and joined the war despite the decision. The northern provinces experienced a heavy defeat after only one military operation to invade [[Nocturne]], and only after holding the city for a few days, were forced to retreat by Allied reinforcements. [[Kuthernburg]] also conducted airstrikes on a number of military targets within northern Kostromastan as an additional response, thus ending Kostromastan's involvement in the war.
 
At the war's conclusion, Kostromastan experienced significant political stagnation nationwide, with little to no consensus on the smallest of issues. Known today as the Localization, this post-war period was defined by its lack of Confederation action. Its economy experienced one of the most devastating recessions to date, with an estimated GDP decrease of 12% relative to its 2015 numbers. Entire regions of rural farmland experienced hardship and famine as a result of the 2017 Emergency Water Conservation Act failed to make headway legislatively, leaving thousands of farmers in the north and east without access to the East Auroran Aquifer. Cities were hardest hit, as hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs, with millions more experiencing severe cuts to their annual salaries. A number of riots, most prominently the [[December Riots of Novugdidi]] and the [[January Protest for Workers]], spread through the nation, calling for the Kostrom government to end the stagnation. As such, a number of high-ranking officials, including the then-incumbent five provincial governors, the lead cabinet member, as well as prominent Kostrom political figures like Hugo Rikhieli and Iakob Virielishvili, all congregated in the [[2018 Summit on the Political Status of Kostromastan]], wherein the issues of the nation were addressed and discussed. The inconclusive nature of the meeting is widely viewed as the ''de facto'' declaration that Kostromastan was no longer a functional nation, and the government was effectively dissolved. After a short period of instability, three distinct political regions had formed: The Nationalist Socialist Union of Volova (NSUV) and The Volovan People's Army (VPA) within what is now Volova, and the nations of Tula and Astravili which later joined into a political union with [[Tuvaltastan]], and the political successor of Kostromastan in the UNAC, [[Nolova]].

==History==
===Beginnings of Kostromastan===
Kostromastan, alongwas withofficially Tuvaltastanindependent on October 17th, were2005 officiallywith independentthe onsigning of the day[[Treaty Octoberof 17th,Astravili (2005)|Treaty of Astravili]]. The newly-formed nation spent 21 months writing the constitution, due to the fact that not every provincenation, particularly the AstrakAstra and Tula provinces, was happycontent with each new iteration of the constitution, the two nations vying for further decentralization and power over their own affairs. It was continually refined, until on July 12th, 2007, the Kostrom Constitution was finally offically ratified.

Most governmental activities, however, taketook place withingwithin provincialthe borders of member nations. The only activities that the national government takesprimarily took part in arewere larger advisory, congressional, parliamentary, and executive issues such as civil rights and constitutionality of bills, as well as some minor inroads into foreign affairs.

===Modern-Day Kostromastan===
Being landlocked, Kostromastan relies greatly on its neighbors for access to international trade. Due to this, 87% of its trade takes place within Aurora and ACA members.
 
===The Kost-Tuva War (2009-2010)===
This war was between Tuvaltastan and Kostromastan, and lasted 11 months before ending on a peace treaty that ended the war. It was catalyzed by numerous skirmishes between Kostrom and Tuvalt civilians along the northern portion of Tuvaltastan and the eastern corner of Kostromastan caused by a border dispute between the two countries, with Kostromastan claiming an area that would allow the nation to no longer be landlocked. Eventually, politicians in Tuvaltastan called for a war to settle the border dispute. The Hall approved of the war, and the conflict killed approximately 12,000 Tuvalts and 11,000 Kostros. The war also resulted in Tuvaltastan keeping its northern border with Xiopothos, and leaving Kostromastan to be one of two landlocked nations on Aurora as of 2010, the other being Ethalria.
 
===The Auroran-Pacific War (2017-2018)===
[[Auroran-Pacific War|The Auroran-Pacific War]] was a major war that Kostromastan's hadnations aVolova and minorNovugdidi influenceparticipated in, with the onlylargest military activity being a smallan invasion into Fort Nocturne, thatwhich was quicklymet stoppedwith byimmediate opposingopposition. forcesThe [[NSTO]] would execute a series of airstrikes on military facilities as retaliation for the invasion.
 
After the war, Kostromastan and [[Kuthernburg]] would sign into a reparations agreement in which oil would be transported to the latter nation.
 
===Summit on the Political Status of Kostromastan and the Volova Situation (2018-2020)===
As the APW ended, the looseness of the confederation started to take its toll on the nation as a whole, with a few major decisions regarding recovery efforts being held in political deadlock. As a result the nations, and a few representatives from other nations, would hold a summit in Nolova to discuss the future of Kostromastan. The primary consensus among those attending was that the status quo of a confederation, which had been a temporary solution in the first place, needed to be replaced with a more cohesive governmental system. However, no solution was generally agreed upon, with the summit ending in a flop.
 
As a result, the nation would fall into disarray, with the nations Astra and Tula being absorbed by Tuvaltastan in an effort to maintain stability in those nations. The nation of Nolova, in an effort to gain political influence, advocated for its membership in the UNAC as a replacement for Kostromastan. The remaining nations, Volova and Novugdidi, would be host to a series of different factions of varying ideologies to vie for control of the territory.
 
==Politics==
 
===Governmental System===
The Confederation of Kostromastan consistsconsisted of sevenfive politiesnations:
(From North to South)
* [[Volova]]
* [[NalachikovNovugdidi]]
* [[NovgorodaNolova]]
* [[NolovAstra]]
* [[AstrakhovaTula]]
* [[Tulava]]
* [[Golova]]
 
The System of government in Kostromastan iswas very decentralized, with each province maintaining muchmost of their sovereignty. Every two years, each province hostshosted the new capital of Kostromastan, with the cycle going from north to south. The currentlast capital of Kostromastan iswas NovgorodNolova, located in Novgoroda.the Innation 2018,of the capital will move down into Nolov, with its citysame Kazanname. When a province hostshosted the capital, the province gainsgained an extra representative, known as the Capital Representative. The Capital Representative iswas only allowed three consecutive term limits, each term lasting two years, and iswas elected by the province hosting the capital. When the cabinet votesvoted on certain issues, the Capital Representative servesserved as the tie-breaker.

===Music===
Traditional music in Kostromastan revolves around stringed instruments such as the [[wikipedia:Violin|Volta]], [[wikipedia:Buzuq|Blorov]], and [[wikipedia:Santur|Slartov]]. Singing is also usually paired up with the stringed music.
 
===Festivities===
During the spring years, when the snow on the Kalivian mountains partially melts, the SalovKhermali river floods to a much larger size than during other seasons. The Reka [[Festival of Khermali]] takes place during this flooding period, as the floods bring about water to the minimalriverside farms found in Kostromastan.

===Climate===
Kostromastan is engulfed in a desert. The only places where life can survive is along the Salov River, which runs through the entirety of Kostromastan. The only city that is not along the Salov is Tula, which is an experimental city that studies and tests new technologies and prototypical concepts.
 
===Ecosystem===
Due to the entirety of the country being in a desert, there are few living things. A small number of desert animals and plants do exist however, which include the burrowing desert mole, the trelik plant, the Polinski rat, and the drilling worm. Interestingly, the drilling worm was the inspiration behind the Subterran Forces in former Kostuvastan.
 
==Economy==
 
===Agriculture===
Most food is imported from other nations, Tuvaltastan being the largest provider of livestock. There are efforts to minimize imports of food, pushed by a few activist groups. None of these groups have made it far into the national government, however.
 
===Industry===
The primary industries in Kostromastan revolve around mining and design. The mines of Kostromastan predominantly extract platinum, iron, zinc, and copper.
 
===Science and Technology===
Kostromastan has not been as fortunate as its fellow former Kostuv territories, and has duly been behind in technological and scientific advancements. Nonetheless, there has been a very successful effort to curb smog in Kostrom cities, and as a result Volgoda, Novgorod, Tula, and Nal'Chik are at least 90% powered by renewable energy.
