'''The Peoples' Democratic Republic of Thalria''', more commonly refered to
Thalria has been inhabited for hundreds of thousands of years by hominids. It lies at the confluence of the east and west Auroran civilisations, with its culture being heavily influenced by the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] and Salovian people. It formed part of the Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria for centuries. When the latter state was partitioned following the end of the [[Auroran-Pacific War]], the Republic of Thalria was proclaimed in a referendum held in late November 2017. On 6 September 2019, a revolution led by [[Lenski Sarinn]] saw Thalria become communist.
Its political system is a One-Party state. It is helmed by Premier
Until September 2019, the nation was aligned with the policies of Great Morstaybishlia, its largest trading partner. It hosted a large number of Morstaybishlian manpower and bases. Its military is formed of two branches (air and army). It relies on a 7 billion KRB budget and a manpower of 130,000 soldiers. Men are permitted to serve, although they constitute a minority in the force and their roles are limited.
The economy contracted significantly during the Auroran Pacific War to
The country has an temperate climate. It snows in winter and rains in summer. There are forests in the north, wetlands in the south, grassland in the south east, and mountains in the southwest. The tallest mountain is Mount Friga and longest river is the Vena River.

==Politics==
The politics of Thalria take place in the framework of a one-party authoritarian communist Dictatorship. The head of state, government and commander-in-chief of the armed forces is currently [[Lenski Sarinn]], who in her position as the General Secretary of the [[Ethalrian Communist Unity Party]] (''Kommunistische Einheitspartei Ethalria''), Chairwoman of the Central Military Committee and President acts as the ''de facto'' paramount leader of the nation. This system of government was preceded by a constitutional representative liberal democracy instated by the Bursil Alliance at the end of the [[Auroran-Pacific War|2017 Auroran Continental War]] under Gertrude Amaliadotter. The democratic government was overthrown in 2018 by a coup led by Sarinn. Her nation has faced isolation including trade embargoes ever since.
Whereas most democratic nations have a three branch system, this country has a two-branch system composed of the party and the state. The party sets policies while the state administers them. The highest structure in the country is the National Worker's Congress (NWC). The NWC is elected by the people every 7 years. Only members of the ECUP may stand as candidates and they require the approval of the Politburo to contest elections. As such elections are not competitive, fair or transparent.
The President is the nominal and ceremonial head of state. Together with the Premier of the State Council and the General Secretary of the ECUP, they are elected by the NWC every 7 years or when the post falls vacant. The Premier of the State Council is responsible for appointing Ministers, chairing State Council meetings and controlling its work. The General Secretary of the Party is responsible for running the party, chairing the politburo and directing party policies. In 2018, Lenski Sarinn was elected to the post of President and General Secretary until 2025.
Military policy is set by the Central Military Committee. However, it only comprises the Chairwoman (who is appointed by the General Secretary) and other appointees whom they appoint. As such, Lenski Sarinn appointed herself and only a few other members as advisors. The NWC only meets once every 7 years unless a special meeting is called. As such, it mostly passes directives to guide government and party decision-making. Real legislative authority resides with the 40 members of the Standing Committee of the NWC. The Standing Committee is elected by the NWC to pass laws and hold the State Council accountable between sessions of the NWC.
There is one judicial system for cases related to ECUP members and another for the public. Both systems are based on an inquisitorial system whereby the judge also conducts investigations and cross examines witnesses. In the party system, cases are decided by committees comprising longstanding party members. In the judicial system, only professional judges who pass the judicial exam are promoted to posts. At lowest level are the Local Worker's Courts, which can appeal to the Regional Worker's Courts (which can also handle serious cases) and the Supreme Worker's Court which only receives appeals and is the last court for appeals. The SWC does not have the power of judicial review and the judiciary faces intimidation, non-compliance and resource constraints.
==Military==
The Thalrian National Military is made up of the Thalrian National Air Forces and the Thalrian National Army. The military is under government control. It is commanded by the Premier. The military has a womanpower of
The Thalrian National Army is equipped with the Leopard 87 main battle tank with a weight of 62 tonnes and one 20mm Rheinmetall smoothbore gun. The standard issue infantry rifle is the HK417 battle rifle. It is fairly light weight and can be adapted to conventional and urban warfare.
