The Akuan State of Nystatiszna or Nystatiszna is a sea boring country located in Central (sometimes called Eastern) Borea, it is bordered by Aduraszna to the west, Rikevaarland to the south, Kæra'zna, Gusanaszna, Rusanru'a, Syrtænzna, and Blaskog. Geographically, it is widely varies from the mountainous central regions, with flat plains to the south and artic northern regions. Ny'Dotsethby (Formerly Newport), is the capital of the state, however Tømmer is the largest city and is part of Neo-Fantøm metropolitan area. The country is the largest country in East Borea by landmass, and the most highest populated by international estimations. There hasn't been a census done in the country since the 1940s, as such majority of the population estimates heavily depend on various factors. Since 2022, it was gone under various governmental and economic reforms moving away from the Social Republic policies with the goal of being Akuan Democratic state. It had a recent election, replacing Ayo Hoshi with Victoria Engebretsen as prime minister after the end of Syrtænzna Dissolution War with Hoshi retiring from his position.

The population of Nystatiszna is predominantly rural, young by Kemonomimi standards and highly religious. Nystatiszna is made up of 23 different surviving Akuan ethnic groups, all which follow religious Akuanism but widely various in form and practice across the country. The state and only legalized religion of Nystatiszna being Akuanism, though secular Akuanism is tolerated within the country. The official and most widely spoken language is Nys'tat'en but is divided between various forms of it. Vaaran and Norgsveltian are commonly used in the Fantøm in the Nystatinne side, Tømmer. Historically, post-1965 civil war the country was under heavy influence from Blaskog and maintained a isolationistic towards the world. However after Ayo Hoshi rose to power in the then-senate to establish a president office international relations beyond Blaskog, and after Enshrinement of Ingrid the Reclaimer as well the election of the Victoria Engebretsen.

The country was officially founded as Nystatiszna after Naylorbrookiszna, the founder of Akuan Socialism seized power and over threw the provisional government of Commonwealth of Borean Nations in 1920. Dubbing the nation as Nystatiszna or 'Land of the Middle.' Pre-Second Kemonomimi Revolution, the area that makes up modern day Nystatiszna and Gusanaszna was part of the Zreiru'a colonial empire starting in late 1700s through a trading company known as [Vaaran name] or in Codexian as the Borean Trading Company. During colonization of the country, the focus was on extracting the rich resources of the country in particularly in the north and the south. The region liberated, by the provisional Borean Commonwealth during the Great War, or known in Nystatiszna as Second Kemonomimi Revolution (sometimes called the Akuan Revolt) and most of the country was liberated sometime by 1910s. Due to the complicated nature of changing alliances, break-away states and so forth, it hard to determent the actual state of the country outside of the bias reports from Viktor von Dotseth from the time. After the Second Kemonomimi Revolution, Naylorbrookiszna seized the parliament in 1920 changing the name of the country and established a Akuan Socialist state, that lasted until 1964 officially. The 1960s civil war, and protracted regional conflict resulted in Blaskog in achieving heavy influence within the country. Establishing a apartheid regime favoring the Z'rei elves known at the Social Republic of Nystatiszna, which ran until 2020. Modern day political history, Nystatiszna is transiting into a Akuan Democratic state, with Enshrinement of Ingrid the Reclaimer and the first kemonomimi head-of-government leader Victoria Engebretsen of the country since 1939.

Despite the country's significant mineral deposits and other resources, the most significant of which being lithium and its cobalt deposits. However contains plethora of lumber, hydro and geothermal power, as well as farmable land along the southern regions. Nystatiszna is among some of the poorest nations in the world, and one of the most de-centralized countries. It maintains with poor standards of sapient development, and has been voted as one of the worse countries to be living in. However Post-2022, the country has massively improved from it's previous dire state, having been rapidly improving since its entry into the Red Crown Economic Union, opening of relations with outside countries, and the Nystatinne 5-Year Plan.

History

Pre-Colonized Era

The prehistoric Nystatiszna was primarily settled around the coastlines and the interior lakes. Making a living on fishing, agriculture, copper and tin mining within the region. Artifacts record shows that the societies in the region was reasonably wealthy in the Neolithic and Bronze age, however facing a minor dark age during the iron age with many of large urban centers being depopulated due to unknown events. Kemonomimi being the first settlers of the continent, however region that made up Nystatiszna in particular was uniquely wealthy in copper and tin, resulting in Nystatiszna being uniquely rich in historical artifacts. Though much of the artifacts was sold off by the Borean Trading Company, thousands of historical sites was destroyed and virtually every site outside of the Grand Shrine of Lilith was impacted by the unparalleled levels of looting and destruction. The Grand Shrine of Lilith being uniquely protected during the colonial era due to it's importance within Ulvriktru, with direct threats being given by Queendom of Lapérouse and Norgsveldet if harm came to it.

Neolithic Period

The Paleolithic period is the period of sapient inhabitation in central Borea between, marked by the discovering of flint tools, farming, animal husbandry, decorated artifacts (such as pottery and statues) and discovery of beer. It's was discovered in the late 1930s that burial monumental in the far north of Nystatiszna, however it's forbade by the government to excavated the tombs and under heavy guard by NIB due to concerns of grave robbing. In 1990s' officially NIB allowed the excavating of a single monumental, the corpses inside tomb being preserved by the cold climate and discovery of intact flint tools and decorated pottery. Suggesting the graves may have been reserved trusted or brewmasters of the community. It's been request and approved by the Bureau in 2020 in January, by Universities of Leidenstad to excavate the rest of the burial sites for research purposes. However later in 2023, due to the outbreak of the Syrtænzna Dissolution War resulted in substantial breakdown of relations between Nystatiszna and Cryria, with the universities officials being deported back to their country.

During the period, several ruins of settlements have been discovered in the 1764 by surveyors of the Borea Trading Company with the suggestions providing evidence that the ruins from the Neolithic period though, this has been heavily disputed. Many of them in a absolutely poor condition or only having the foundations reminding. The BTC destroyed the ruins and created a administration center on top of it. It is unclear what the BTC did with the reminds of the ruins, as according to a report from the era claims they sent the reminds back to Newport but it never arrived.

Many of the surviving records from the pre-Naylorbrookiszna era that describe the Neolithic settlements as a multi-species co-habitant with the large structures being for Ursines while the smaller structures are for the Kemonomimi. One of the main ways of telling the difference being the size of the doorway to the house. While the main buildings such as the granaries or smoke pits was built to Ursine size but had small doors next to it for the Kemonomimi. However it has been noted due to that possible housing for Ursines is limited in scope, and there is evidence that the housing could have been used for other purposes.

Bronze Age

The Bronze Age was primary around the modern day lake of Trist Innsjø, where copper was mined from around the lake and tin mined from the mountain that was believed three to-be a three days journey to the north. All bronze that wasn't imported or trade for came from a central city-state based around Trist Innsjø, it's unclear what happen to the city as no remains have been discovered. The only evidence of the city-state being the bronze tools themselves being traced to the copper deposits around the lake.

Outside of the major city-state on the lake. Varies small communities banded together to from federations over the vast region of Borea, however central Borea was the most populated by the varies Akuan federations. Many of them depending on the lake city state for the varies metals offering foodstuff in exchange. As the federations spread out away from central, less metal tools became common and more stone or flint tools become more-so in use.

The only exception to the rule being the Grand Shrine of Lilith, and the city that formed around the Grand Shrine combined with the rich farmland led to wealth of the city-state. The unknown named city that formally made up Kala and the Grand Shrine allegedly had some sort of rivalry between the two. Though historical record has been debated between the two over numerous issues drawing from ethnic groups own verbal (and some written) history on the manner.

Iron Age

The archaeological record for the Iron Age is rich in rural settlements along the coast lines and a large decrease in bronze artifacts. This is mainly due to the collapse of the city-state around Trist Innsjø and new discovery of iron smithing brought over from Concord via trading. There was indication of any social stratification between Zrei elves and Ursine, evidenced by separate burials where they formerly was buried together being the first of many insistences the species separating from each other in ways other than settlements. Additionally the discovery of original Akuanism clay tablets with markings of an figure crashing into a hill and describing the process of beer creation to sapients nearby. Starting in the later era of the iron age, much of the habitable land was settled and the agricultural land was parceled up with low stone walls. They divided the land into permanent infields and meadows for winter fodder on one side of the wall, and wooded outland where the cattle was grazed on the other side. This later era was marked by separate species burials however evidence still shows that the species inhabited the same communities.

Political Structure

The political structure of Nystatiszna is under going a process of reform, first started by the former president Ayo Hoshi and continued by his successor prime minister Victoria Engebretsen. The country rapidly shifting from a democratic centralized authority ran by a Z'rei elven supremacist political party, established by Blaskovian intervention during the 1965 civil war. After 2018, the Z'rei supremacist rule was broken and democratic elections was held for the first time in the country since 1912. The elections was authorized and protected by the Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau, which drew criticism from the international community. Ayo Hoshi furthered government reforms by including more kemonomimi into the country, running the country's monarchy enshrinement which brought in Ingrid the Reclaimer and enshrined her. After the Syrtænzna Dissolution War, he stepped down and Victoria Engebretsen took over as prime minister in the country's second election.

Nystatiszna is undergoing further reforms helmed by Victoria Engebretsen and the five-year plan established in 2020. The aims of establishing a modern Akuan Democracy and a reformed (Borean) Akuanism Shrine Authority. The country receiving assistance in such regards by Norgsveldet and the Red Crown Economic Union, in particular the Federation. Receiving not only economic aid, but in government and administration advisers to assist with the process of democratization of the country. The International Socialist Endowment Fund assisting with current leading party, the Kurintail Democratic Party with its efforts. Surprising despite the history and the reputation of the Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau, the reforms and change of power was held changed without violence. Reforms brought limited transparency to the government, though due to the rural nature the transparency reforms only the southern and far northern regions was targeted by it.

Military

Nystatiszna spends 7% of it's GDP on military expenses. The Nystatiszna Imperial Military is the military organization in charge of Nystatiszna's military, with a joint command with the Nystatiszna Commissar Core (N.C.C) and Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau. The branches of the military are the Army Defense Forces, Navy, Air Command, Missile Defense Command, Counter-Special Weapons Department, Counterterrorism and Intelligence. With the latter branch of Counterterrorism and Intelligence under joint control with the Bureau.

Nystatiszna Commissar Core

The N.C.C are in charge of Imperial Party political propaganda, indoctrinating the public with monarchist ideology and maintains a firm grip on the military to assure civilian control of the military. Prior to becoming a commissar an individual had to be registered as a Imperial Party member for a minimum of one years or had a previous veteran Commissar vouch for you and had to attend the Greengin Military Academy, which offers a blend of political and military course. Political officers are usually directly tasked with morale, regulation-based goals and promoting Imperial Party doctrine.

Economy

The Nystatinne economy has been recently changing in times after joining the Red Crown Economic Union and the Enshrinement of Ingrid the Reclaimer, shifting from a subsistence farming to a more modern developing nation. Though the country is still focused on more resource extraction sectors, capitalizing on the country's untapped but large mineral resources and rich farming soil. Nystatiszna living standards have largely increased throughout the recent years after Ingrid became the matriarch of the nation. Nystatiszna plethora of rich natural resources having attracted various investors, the largest being Bjørn Trust, Norgsveltian Crown Realm, Red Crown Economic Union, Rikevaarland, Blaskog and the Federation. In addition to the resource extraction, assembly plants namely Gyllir Motor Corporation for Kem cars, the agriculture value added product Ingrain, UliVik and several others being invested along the south providence of Varm Kyst. Imperial People’s Fund despite it's complicated and controversial history, has been reorganized for a more balanced approach for developing the nation.

The country's development plan for improving civil rights and economic, the Ingrid's Five Year Plan has seen overwhelming results through many economic experts cite the very low bar Nystatiszna started off with. The economic side of the five year plan, called for partnership of international partnership to assist development economically and educationally. The plan calls for developing the Nystatinne natural resources, setting aside funds for infrastructure development and educational resources. In addition the plan marks out establishing a professional class of Nystatinnes, large construction projects to bring the country forward, such as paving roads and railways as well as a commitment to renewal projects across the country.

The industrial sector has been rapidly growing over the recent years, primary in assembly work, refining, value adding and foodstuffs. Geological surveys have found volumes of zinc, graphite, lead, copper and titanium have been discovered in center Nystatiszna, a notoriously difficulty and remote place to access. On the northern islands of the country iron and silver have been discovered but lacks any major docks to transport the ore. While the southern regions are far more easily accessible and developed containing large volumes of coal, iron, natural gas and oil. The oil and natural gas being tapped into by the UliVik company. The Conglomerate was a brief but important venture into mining sector, while the company been nationalized after the company board broke Antora law. The company established several important facilities and logistical methods for extracting from several mines across the country.

Media and Telecomm

The media and telecomm while currently state-owned, but maintains plans to sell TV station licenses. Newspapers currently are majority government owned, and it is traditionally done through papers rather than online news-letters. Borean Postal-Telecomm-Bank Service is a newly created government owned company to service several key sectors across the country, particular within media, telecommunication, postal and banking service. The BPTBS operates all phone and television cables within the country, as well entrusted with expanding out cable links across the country. BPTBS absorbed the previous existing telecommunication group, the Nystatiszna Telecommunication Board and thus the nation's radio towers, as well phonelines. Ingrid's Five Year Plan outlines expansion of telecommunication services, starting first with radio and cell towers. As a result the country radio and cellar access of massively expanded beyond the southern regions, and generally most larger cities have at least cellar access.

Press freedoms have been lifted, though the anti-Hirdist and anti-speciesm laws have been established by Ayo Hoshi under advice from Ingrid the Reclaimer. The new press freedoms allow criticism of the government, and which includes the Nystatiszna Intelligence Bureau to be criticist. Though freedom of speech is still limited in some aspects, examples including speaking positivity of the former Social Republic era government is strictly prohibited under the anti-hirdist laws. Additionally the laws require all forms of media to be in Nys'tat'en, specifically Formal Nystatinne Nys'tat'en which drew much criticism from ethnic group representatives.

Infrastructure

The Nystatiszna government prioritized funding of infrastructure mainly focusing on road and rail construction. The country's water infrastructure is nearly nonexistent in rural part of the country, with only the main cities being able to afford running water. In the rural parts and in villages, hand pumps and managed springs are used.


Villages in the rural areas are often only connect by dirt walk paths only wide enough for a donkey cart. These rural villages rarely have any clean source of water. Having to use shallow wells that often are highly contaminated with all matter of bacteria. As a result these villages often have to depend local Akuanist temples for barrels of light ale to drink. Food sources in these villages are also scarce as farming has been forbid by the land-owners of the villages. Land-owners require villages to pay in rent or work hours, as most Nystatinne earn less than 1 USD a week meaning most rent in labor. Land-owners are often in the Nystatiszna Senate and pushed through the farming ban bill without issue. The land-owners believed that if the villagers started to farm then the villagers won't be able to fulfill their labor quotes for rent. As a result of the law, villagers often have to have children go out and gather foods by fishing or by gathering foodstuff with their elders who are too old to work watching over them.
