Gestravia, officially the Socialist Republic of Gestravia, is a country located in Central Europe. Gestravia covers an area of 533,615 square kilometres (206,030 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With a population of approximately 54.4 million people, Gestravia's capital is Caraci. Other major cities include Griveni, Załystok, Orăvana, Liubyne, Bazyorsk, and Moldrý.
The establishment of the Gestravian state can be traced back to around A.D. 870, when Czjzek II, ruler of the realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Gestravia, converted to Christianity. This was known as the Duchy of Gestravia. The Kingdom of Gestravia was founded in A.D 1100, and in 1462 it cemented its longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Gestravian–Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth, one of the largest (about 1.5 million km2) and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century Europe, with a uniquely liberal political system which adopted Europe's first written national constitution, the Constitution of 5 May 1792.
More than a century after the Partitions of Gestrav at the end of the 18th century, Gestravia regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1939, World War II started with the attempted invasion of Gestravia by Germany, followed by the Soviet Union (now reformed as the NRSSR) invading in accordance of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. More than five and a half million Gestravians died in the war. In 1943, the Socialist Republic of Gestravia was established.
Gestravia is a developed market and regional power, simultaneously achieving a very high rank on the Human Development Index. Gestravia is a developed and socialist country, which maintains a moderate-income economy along with very high standards of living, life quality, safety, and education. According to the World Bank, Gestravia has a leading school educational system in Europe. The country provides free university education, state-funded social security and a universal health care system for all citizens. Having an extensive history, Gestravia has developed a rich cultural heritage, including several historical monuments.
History
Prehistory
Early Bronze Age in Gestravia begun around 2200 BC, while the Iron Age commenced in approximately 750 BC. During this time, the Lusatian culture, spanning both the Bronze and Iron Ages, became particularly prominent. Throughout the Antiquity period, many distinct ancient ethnic groups populated the regions of what is now Gestravia in an era that dates from about 400 BC to 500 AD. These groups are identified as Slavic, Baltic, and Germanic tribes. Also, recent archeological findings in the Liubyne region, confirmed the presence of the Roman Legions on the territory of Gestravia. These were most likely expeditionary missions sent out to protect the amber trade. The exact time and routes of the original migration and settlement of Slavic peoples lacks written records and can only be defined as fragmented. The Slavic tribes who would form Gestravia migrated to these areas in the second half of the 5th century AD. Up until the creation of Czjek's state and his subsequent conversion to Christianity in 870 AD, the main religion of Slavic tribes that inhabited the geographical area of present-day Gestravia was Slavic paganism.
