| History: |
On December 27th, 2021, our brave nation began a movement for independence against the oppressive Pravk Republic, which had burdened us with heavy taxes and stripped away our precious freedoms. Despite facing crackdowns and imprisonments from the Pravk administration, we, under the leadership of the Sovan National Congress, never gave up. We declared war on August 1st, 2022, and fought relentlessly for almost two years until the Orbis World Council declared us an independent nation, and the Pravk National Army was forced to retreat. Our unwavering determination and courage caused immense turmoil in their lands, leading to many ex-nations splitting off. Though the retreating army destroyed our villages and committed war crimes, our spirit never broke. Kins town came to our aid with 27,000 food, which kept us going.
Under the leadership of Roman Faustin, we experienced a golden era of Katsovia, with significant infrastructure upgrades, militarization, and increased diplomacy. Even though he became inactive, and we faced surprise attacks from two nations, Xeria and Phyrexia, our resolve never faltered. Faustin rapidly repaired any damage and remilitarized our country to prevent future attacks. Today, while our wounds are still healing, we remain proud of our patriotic spirit that never gave up. |

To the east, we have towering and rugged mountain ranges that require immense endurance to survive.

Towards the north and center, there are smaller plains with quaint farms, where animals and horses graze. Lastly, to the south, we have lush green forests.As we turn our gaze towards the eastern horizon, we are met with the magnificent sight of towering and rugged mountain ranges. Their peaks are shrouded in mist, and the slopes are rocky and treacherous, requiring immense endurance and skill to survive. The mountains seem to stretch on endlessly, as if reaching out to touch the sky.
On the other side, towards the west, the sandy seashores beckon us with their glistening beauty. The sun-kissed sand sparkles with the sunlight, and the dampness of the ocean waves adds to the allure of the shoreline. The sea stretches out before us, vast and limitless, with the promise of adventure and discovery.
As we move towards the north and center, we are greeted by smaller plains, dotted with quaint farms and grazing animals. The soft grasses sway gently in the breeze, and the horses move gracefully, their manes flowing in the wind. The farms seem to embody a simpler way of life, free from the bustle and chaos of the cities.
Lastly, towards the south, we have the lush green forests, alive with the sounds of nature. The trees tower over us, their leaves rustling in the wind, and the underbrush teems with life. The forest seems to hold secrets and mysteries, beckoning us to explore and discover all that it has to offer. |

During the summer months, our clear blue sky is illuminated by the scorching fires of the sun, lending a warm and inviting glow to our surroundings. Come winter, our mountains and plains are coated in a blanket of cold, powdery snow, creating a picturesque and serene landscape. In the fall, our once bright and cheery clouds transform into a foreboding gray, signaling an approaching storm, yet the feeling of peace persists as the red-orange hues of falling leaves create a stunning contrast against the earthy tones of the season. Finally, spring brings forth an explosion of colorful flowers that seem to paint the land with their vibrant hues, making it feel as though the world has come alive once more after a long and dreary winter. |

| Economy |
| Description: |
The economic system of our nation is characterized as moderately capitalist, where businesses operate within free open markets, but are required to comply with government regulations. Additionally, the government exercises control over industries, either partially or wholly, with investors requiring prior approval from the government to invest in government-owned enterprises. While the majority of businesses are small independent shops and offices, there also exist conglomerates of franchisees and smaller businesses. During times of peace, citizens can secure employment, and those in poverty are eligible to receive government assistance in exchange for services rendered. Students are also provided with financial assistance through loans and debt relief programs, although the onus of repayment largely falls upon the students themselves. |
