The Most Serene Republic of Baykalia, commonly known as Baykalia, is a nation that exists on the continent Aurora that has a large border with Xiopothos, exists south of East Malaysia, and borders Cathalrus. Baykalia exists between the latitudes S and S, and between the longitudes E and E. The nation, with a Nominal GDP of $ has abysmal income inequality, with the richest 6% holding 95% of the wealth. Baykalia is wedged between the countries Xiopothos and Cathalrus, with a small border with Kostromastan. Baykalia also has control of four islands that are located in the Caven Sea (Aforementioned size and location are subject to change in the future). The largest city Irkutsk and the capital city Chita hold approximately 82% of the population, Irkutsk holding 1,471,471 people and Chita holding 1,477,964 people. The small size of the country required the nation to innovate, and was the first to pioneer vertical farming on the continent.

The History of Baykalia is greatly intertwined with its neighbors Tuvaltastan and Kostromastan, and goes back as far as 1,700 B.C.E., beginning with the Ancient Kostuvians and their immense empire that encompassed central Aurora and a number of small islands north and south of the continent, as well as part of what is now modern-day Dragonia. The Kostuvian Empire existed for 1,032 years, and was succeeded by Kostuvastan in 12 A.D. Kostuvastan existed for 1,973 years until the three major culture groups (Baykalians, Tuvalts, and Kostros) began the Kostuvastan Civil War. The three culture groups, after the Civil War, founded the three nations Tuvaltastan, Kostromastan, and Baykalia. To this day, the three do not get along, and it is not uncommon for there to be violent and typically bloody border skirmishes amongst the three.

Recovery from the Near-Genocide

The Baykalians were a devastated group, having only approximately 280,000 people left after the slaughter. After the war, the 280,000, better known as the 280K, formed the nation Baykalia on June 19th, 2006. Due to the dangerously low population, reproduction was encouraged, and the efforts of the original 280,000 managed to bring the population up to 3,596,872 people in 2015. As such, a single generation currently makes up 92.1% of the population, all 16 years or younger. The parent-to-offspring ratio is currently an astonishing 22 children for every two parents. This very worrying ratio resulted in the older 7.9% of Baykalians to establish a temporary universal basic income, so as to only focus on raising the next generation. This income is kept going by the massive surplus that was left sitting during the Civil War, as the Baykalians had kept the Kostuva Credit. As such, the Baykalian unemployment rate is technically 100%.

Baykalia currently has four embassies, those embassies being within The Kingdom of Staynes, The Three States of Fortuna, Emberwood Coast, and The Grand Duchy of Dragonia.

However, ambassadors between the three countries are attempting to resolve the issues between the nations, albeit at a snail's pace.

Measuring Systems

Length

The base unit of length is the meter, which is defined as the length light travels in 1/299792458 instants (see Time).

1 Meter = 100 Centimeters

1 Centimeter = 100 Millimeters

100 Meters = 1 Kilometer

100 Kilometers = 1 Terameter

100 Terameters = 1 Exameter

Area

The base unit of area is the rotor, which is equal to 1 meter squared.

1 Rotor = 100 Centirotors

1 Centirotor = 100 Millirotors

100 Rotors = 1 Kilorotor

100 Kilorotors = 1 Terarotor

100 Terarotors = 1 Exarotor

Volume

Liquid

The base unit of volume (Lq) is the liter, which is defined as four times the amount of liquid that can fit inside the Human stomach.

1 Liter = 100 Centiliters (Colloquial: Ounce)

1 Centiliter = 100 Milliliters

100 Liters = 1 Kiloliter

100 Kiloliters = 1 Teraliter

100 Teraliters = 1 Exaliter

Solid

The base unit of volume (Sd) is the maud, which is equal to one cubic centimeter of water at its maximum density.

1 Maud = 100 Centimauds

1 Centimaud = 100 Millimauds

100 Mauds = 1 Kilomaud

100 Kilomauds = 1 Teramaud

100 Teramauds = 1 Examaud

Time

The base unit of time is the instant, which is defined by how long it takes light to travel 299,792,458 meters

10 Instants = 1 Second

6 Seconds = 1 Minute

10 Minutes = 1 Standard

6 Standards = 1 Hour

6 Hours = 1 Quarter

4 Quarters = 1 Day

6 Days = 1 Week

10 Weeks = 1 Month

6 Months = 1 Year
