Klerinsk'ya

Klerinsk'ya (/ˈklerɪnskiə/), formally known as the Republic of Klerinsk'ya (: Republika ng Klerinsk'ya, : Republiken Klerinsk'ya) is a country located in the continent of Brahma. It is a unitary presidential republic that has 18 provinces divided into 5 regions. As of the 2021 consensus, the country is home to 21,256,011 residents, with the majority living in the nation's capital, Elveras. The country has two official languages, and. These two languages are mainly taught at every school, although some schools specialize in legalized & protected regional languages, such as, , and.

Klerinsk'ya is known for being one of the most peaceful countries in Brahma. The country stays neutral on most controversial international affairs, but supports any kind of program that helps provide a better future and a better livelihood for the region. Freedom of speech is heavily practiced across the country and numerous laws and bills concerning human rights have been passed. This can be reflected on the country's low violence rate and its low tolerance to violence, especially to people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Prehistoric times (pre-1262)
During ancient times, the first people to have arrived in Klerinsk'ya were assumed to have come from present-day Sumunta, where most of them probably came to the country by a boat. Various artifacts and fossils found in Erethnos have shown that the ancient people were well ahead of their time, in terms of their intelligence. Several bows and arrows made from sticks and rocks were dated to have been formed around 15 million years ago, with the most famous one being the Vlerkan bow.

Crethir & Beronzia (1263-1601)
Klerinsk'ya as a nation began to emerge during the year 1263, when various tribes across the now mainland part of the country decided to unite and form the first nation in the history of the country, Crethir (now known as New Rethinór). Its leaders were considered to have started out decent and very peaceful, but emerged more violent and rampant during the late 14th century. Slavery and death punishments were common among the Crethir people and this lead to countless deaths.

In 1536, a rebellion emerged and started the First Klerinsk War. Rebels fought with the current leaders of Crethir, who they deemed as irresponsible and illogical leaders for the country. After 34 days, the war ended with the rebels gaining victory. As a result, the nation of Beronzia was formed, with the rebels now being the leaders of this new country. However, despite their efforts for a new beginning, the citizens also deemed them as people who are unfit for leadership. This was due to the leaders becoming more corrupt and unruly during the last few years of Beronzia. This resulted with the country's fall in 1601.

Age of Silence & Formation of Kaelerin (1602-1886)
During 1602-1679, the country went through an age of silence and nothingness. No nation was formed and people simply lived on their own. In 1680, the Kaelerian tribe started to unite several other tribes across the country and formed a new kingdom called Kaelerin (now known as the mainland region of the present country), named after their tribe. This time, citizens of the nation finally saw leaders that helped evolve the country and prospered its land and people. The peaceful country lasted for a long time, starting that year.

The Dark Ages & the Kleryan Rebellion (1886-1938)
Various leaders continued Kaelerin's growth, but its last monarch, the 18-year-old Queen Veranya Sectum, put a stop to this peaceful era of Kaelerin on the 24th of January 1886. She saw the nation as a "disgrace to the whole of Helios" and thought that its old days would deem as fit and would be better for the country's future. So, she brought back corruption to the country, slavery among people who were deemed as unfit in society, the loss of freedom and speech, and death to those who were against her ways. Hundreds of thousands of people were brainwashed to fit Sectum's ideals and values, and hundreds more died during this period of wars and violence. This period was considered as the country's darkest age.

During the dark age, however, this also saw the expansion of Kaelerin. The present Störlyther region became a part of Kaelerin in 1899, and Herin Island became a part of Kaelerin in 1902. At this point, the present borders of Klerinsk'ya is first seen.

Fortunately, in February 1937, 24-year-old Elverias Klerströlm formed and started the Kleryan Rebellion. This rebellion was made up of an estimated 50,000 citizens who all began to resist Sectum's ways and disagreed with the ideals of the Kaelerinese nation at the time. The rebellion started to grow and have almost 110,000 members during the year and led to the Second Klerinsk War on the 14th December of the same year. The war lasted for almost 4 and a half months and led to a total of almost 200,000 casualties, the Kleryan Rebellion and the Sectum Army combined. On the 29th of April 1938, the Kleryan Rebellion emerged as victors and put an end to Veranya Sectum's 52-year reign. This date is now marked as Klerinsk'ya's liberation from the dark ages of Queen Veranya and is now called Freedom Day.

Present Klerinsk'ya (1938-present)
3 days later (May 3, 1938), Klerströlm decided to make a new nation, a nation where violence, injustice, and inequality would cease to exist and peace will reign. He announced the name of the country to be Klerinsk'ya and the capital will be named Elveras, both of which were named after him. Along with the new nation, he also gave 4 regions for his 4 co-leaders to rule over: Antheras Koronia (Antherias), Mark Castillo-Manureya (Manureya), Stefan Störlyther (Störlyther), and Ver Bergio-Ramirez (Ver - which was founded the day before).

Klerinsk'ya started out as a kingdom during its first years as a new nation. The kingdom prospered as a nation and it started to rebuild itself from the dark ages. After a referendum made in 1955, the kingdom transitioned into and finally became the First Republic of Klerinsk'ya, with Emilia Vindler and Revan Mark Andersson as the country's first president and vice-president, respectively. Before, both the president and vice-president's administration lasts for 5 years, but was changed to 6 years in 2010. The country's current president is Martin Svelfjörd, with Alvind Kvällström-Reyes as his vice-president.

Transportation
The country's train system is the main form of public transportation for Klerinsk people. Across the whole country, there are a total of 28 stations: 15 on the mainland region of the country and the other 13 on the island part. The train operates on a daily basis and provides several cross-country lines for the convenience of the Klerinsk people and tourists from around the world.

Since the country also has two islands: the island region of the whole country and Herin Island, a province in the Antherean region, ferry services are also available to citizens and tourists who wish to go from the mainland region of the country to one of the two mentioned islands above. These are mostly at its peak during the holidays when numerous citizens go back to their home provinces and when tourists would visit various landmarks in these places.

As for air transportation, Klerinsk'ya has three airports that are both used for domestic and international purposes. The main airport, the Klerinsk National Airport, is located at the capital, Elveras. The two remaining airports are located in Trikeros (Azlonian International Airport) and Briski (Wrevkan International Airport). However, while the airport accepts international flights as well, the Wrevkan International Airport is more known for its domestic flights.

Values
The country heavily takes importance on the values of friendship and family. Each citizen is taught to be accepting of every person, to love one another, and to maintain peace and order in society, hence the national motto. Klerinsk people are also known for their freedom of speech, they are taught to say whatever they want to, as long as it is respectful. While nowadays the existence of these values might be due to religious beliefs, the aftermath of the Second Klerinsk War is thought to be the reason as to why Klerinsk people started to become as such.

Music
Music has taken a massive influence of the Klerinsk citizens. Klerinsk'ya is known for having Karaoke as a famous activity to pass time. On television, various singing shows, like Klerinsk Idol, ''Sjung Högt! (Sing Out Loud!), and Ang Boses ng Klerinsk'ya (The Voices of Klerinsk'ya)'' have become popular shows among the common audience. The Helios Festival have also sparked interest amongst the Klerinsk people when its first edition was announced.

Physical
Klerinsk'ya has both a humid continental climate and a humid subtropical climate. Mountainous regions in the northeastern mainland part of the country cause that specific region to have colder temperatures and climates. On the other hand, the island regions of the country have a more tropical weather due to the region's coastline filled with beaches.

Given the country's oceanic location, the country is also prone to several typhoons, especially in the Störlyther region and Herin Island in the Antherias region. On an average, the country experiences around 10 typhoons every year, most of which comes from the rainy season that occurs during the mid-year time period. Heavy casualties sometimes occur, but is rare to happen. On the mountainous regions of the country, avalanches are rare, but usually happen once a year.

One of the known mountain ranges of the country include the Malabundukan ranges along the northeastern border in the Antherias region. The highest peak of the country is located here, Mount Baterosa, standing at 7,346 meters.

Political
Klerinsk'ya is divided into 18 provinces that are divided into 5 regions. The country started out as 4 regions. However, a 5th region was added in 2001 to create a special area for the capital of the country, Elveras. This was the Special Elverian Region, or the SER. This is the only region to consist of solely one city.

Each province is led by a Pronsör. These Pronsörs represent their province in the Senate. Each province is also represented by 3 Mille-Pronsöre in the House of Representatives. While Elveras is the official and national capital of the country, the Senate building, led by the Senate Speaker, can be found in the city of Trikeros (located in the Azlono province), while the House of Representatives, led by the House Speaker, is located in the city of The Vildere (located in the Shkarina province).
