The '''Republic of Oscrelia''', also known as '''Oscrelia''' is a country in northeast [[Aurora]]. It lies to the north of [[Volova]] (as part of the former [[Kostromastan]]), to the east of [[Baykalia]], and to the west of [[Xiopothos]]. It is a member of the [[UNAC]].
Originally a [[Salovia|Salovian]] territory, it was forcibly annexed by the [[Codexian Empire]] during the [[Salovia#Era of Unrest and the Posolic Wars|Era of Unrest]]. After a couple of decades of Codexian rule, Oscrelians rose up in the [[Oscrelian War of Independence]], successfully breaking away from the Codexians and establishing a kingdom.
Oscrelia has gone through numerous changes of government since its independence in 1814. Its monarchy was overthrown in 1918 as a reaction to involvement of the [[Great War]], leading to the establishment of a republic. In the 1940s, however, the military leader [[William Thornton]] lead a military coup d'état, and won the [[Oscrelian Civil War|ensuing civil war]]. He established the [[Thorntonist Oscrelia|Oscrelian State]], which lasted until the end of the [[Auroran Imperial War]].
