'''VothetriaVöhmia''', officially the '''Republic of VothetriaVöhmia''' (''EthalrianStaynish: VöhmiaVothetria'') is a [[wikipedia:Sovereign state|sovereign state]] in [[Ethalns|the Ethalns]], [[Aurora]], and makes up the [[North Ethalrian Confederacy]] alongside [[Kothalria]]. The current Prime Minister, [[Clauzia Sarohart]] was sworn into office on the 20th of June 2019, forming the first VothetrianVöhmian Coalition Government.
 
VothetriaVöhmia 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 Morstaybishlian 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 VothetriaVöhmia was proclaimed in a referendum held on the 1st of November 2017 and its first government, led by [[Lupe Juentines]] was elected on the 12th of December 2017.
 
Its political system is founded on multiparty democracy. It is helmed by Prime Minister Clauzia Sarohart as head of state and government and commander of the armed forces. The elected forms the law making body. An independent judiciary is helmed by the Supreme Court. The Vöhmian Workers Party (VWP) is the largest party following the June 2019 elections. Female dominance in politics and underrepresentation of men continue to be pervasive issues.

The country has an temperate climate. It snows in winter and rains in summer. The nation is dominated by the Zycannes in the north and west, with temperate deciduous forests and wetlands in the south and east and grassland in the south. The tallest mountain is Mount Isirien and longest river is the Ider River.
==Politics==
The politics of VothetriaVöhmia take place in the framework of a multiparty democratic republic. Although the nation had been occupied and governed as a separate entity from the rest of what once was Ethalria by Great Morstaybishlia, the formal independence of the nation was declared in late November 2017 after a referendum vote of 57%. Furthermore, the MBE-written constitution was approved in a referendum held about a week later by 52% of the population.
 
The Constitution forms the basis of the political system. It divides the government into two branches, and divides the country into three levels, while also recognising human rights that protect the rights of minorities and males. While this has been a marked advance for democracy in the nation, gender inequality and exclusion of males and minorities continue to be pervasive problems.

==Military==
The VothetrianVöhmiam Armed Forces (VAF) makes up apart of the North Ethalrian Armed Forces (NEAF) alongside the Kothalrian Armed Forces. The expenditure accounts for 3.9 of its Gross Domestic Product. Since 2017, VothetriaVöhmia has an all-time high conscription level of 751K.
 
==Economy==
Line 101:
The unemployment rate is 8% of the adult population. The consumer price index inflation rate is 12% of the average price. Extreme poverty is rare due to state sponsored healthcare, education, housing and financial grants, as well as subsidies on basic foodstuffs, water and power. The Auroran Pacific War harmed the economy, causing a large contraction.
 
The [[Kirib]] is the legal tender. As the power to issue the currency lies with the [[Auroran Central Bank]], the newly established VothetrianVöhmian National Bank acts as a lender of last resort, manages the banking sector and acts as a banker for the state. VothetriaVöhmia is a net borrower of funds. Total debt hovers around 71% of GDP. The trade deficit especially with the MBE has widened damaged the liquidity of VothetrianVöhmian securities and steady pace of debt repayment.
 
Limited austerity measures, aid and loans from the MBE, privatisation and fiscal consolidation of crucial state owned businesses has enabled the country to avoid financial ruin, but has failed to remedy longterm damage done to the economy. The country is on a program to attract investment and encourage entrepreneurship.
Line 107:
The biggest trade partners are Great Morstaybishlia, [[Rodenia]], the former Ethalrian states, and [[Axdel]]. The biggest exports are coal, heavy machinery and foodstuffs. The biggest imports are oil, cars, electronics and high tech equipment. The nation benefits from its location at the nexus of trade paths between different parts Aurora.
 
Energy is generally made up of coal, then oil and then hydroelectric power on a much smaller scale, over which the VothetrianVöhmian National Electric has a large sway. The VothetrianVöhmian National Telecom is the biggest provider of telecommunications. The country has a developed internet network. Roads and rail are the main conduits of travel. A speedy rail sector enables efficient movement of goods and people. Expansion of the transport network has faced some challenges. The biggest airport is the Karinthus International Airport within the capital city and VothetrianVöhmian Air is the flag carrier, formed from fragments of the old Ethalrian Airways.
