Prizyetsa, officially the United Federation of Prizyetsa, is a parliamentary democracy located within the Darklands Subregion of the Ixnay region. Prizyetsa shares a border with Kauvara to the south, and Pentrastan to the west, as well a sea border with Estila to the north-west.
The United Federation has been a bicameral parliamentary democracy since the Blue Revolution in 1961-1962 which saw the downfall of the socialist government and the establishment of a democratically elected government in it's stead. The capital, Venbruä is the nation's third largest city after Kormosk and Vosonje, and is followed by Vosto in order of population.
Prizyetsa is divided into twelve provinces and an additional four special administrative zones and extra-territorial holdings. The provinces all feature a local government administration, though they all answer to the parliament and council in Venbruä.

Prehistory and Antiquity
City-States Period
Golden Age
Under the monarchs who brought about the unification and formation of Prizyetsa in it's modern form, the country saw great advances in trade and culture as well as the country's prominence in the region. This is considered to be Prizyetsa's Golden Age (Gullätiden) due to the vast wealth streaming into the nation as a result of expanded maritime trade and contact with other nations in the Ixnay region, notably the city states which would eventually form the nation of Kauvara.
The City States period came to an end with the formal unification of the city states at the Conference of the Voss in 1220, and the subsiquent Voss Charters which officially formed the Kingom of Prizyetsa and are considered the precursor of the Prizyetsi constitution, though a de facto kingdom had already been established a decade before under King Atla, Nikol's father.
There is a general agreement among scholars that the Golden Age began with the establishment of the monarchy under King Nikol in the year 1227ad. It has been argued that the Golden Age could not have taken place without the monarchy, as the monarchy was the main provider of funds for many of the ventures which took place during this time such as the trade companies, the public works and the standardization of measurements and currency, the Krün (the Crown).
Many challenges faced the young kingdom ranging from the myriad of different cultures to the difficulty of maintaining order across such a large tract of land. While the public works carried out by King Nikol were received with public approval, it is no secret that the vast network of roads and canals were built to bring the provinces closer to one another and allow for the monarchy to move it's armies around freely. A side effect of these works was the ease of which merchants were now able to trade between provinces and the establishment of settlements throughout the country.
By the mid fifteenth century, the monarchy's holdings in the country had grown considerably, including most of the ports and bridges which had been built or improved upon since the formation of the kingdom. From these, the monarchy gathered much of their wealth, which in turn was invested in public libraries, schools and universities, the first of which was established in 1405ad in Vosto. These improvements in the education of the masses was seen as essential if the nation was ever going to improve upon the quality of it's main exports which included textiles and luxury items such as cheeses and wines which came mostly from the south of the Rykgrat mountains. The north was left mostly untouched save for the building of roads and a few ports.
By the nineteenth century, the basic tenants of high Prizyetsi society had embedded itself on the aristocracy of the various cities. The growing socio-economic gap between the aristocracy and the common people had been a source of friction before, but with the extravagant parties being thrown by the rich in plain view of the poor caused these tensions to flare up causing riots in several major cities. These were only quelled when the sitting monarch called together representatives of all parties involved and wrote out the Accords of General Conduct and the Distribution of Wealth, a treaty which established better conditions for the poor living in Prizyetsa. This proclamation would be one of the points which the revolution of 1923 would use to justify it's actions.
The monarchy which helped bring about the Golden Age is considered to be different from the monarchy of the late Golden Age in it's aproach to the common people. While the early monarchs' aim was to help the people as much as possible, it is agreed that the monarch of the late Golden Age were more concerned with their own well-being. This is often cited as one of the main drivers for the revolution of 1923.
Socialist Prizyetsa
By the early nineteen-twenties, socio-economic conditions between the rich and poor of the country had spread to a level never seen in Prizyetsa's history leading to the rise of several extremist parties. While fascism and other rightist movements had taken hold in several pockets of the country, they were greatly outnumbered by the leftist factions of the National Assembly and their associated paramilitary groups. Following years of bad harvests caused by poor weather conditions, fighting broke out on the streets as these various groups struggled to come to power. In response to this, orders were given by the monarchy to extinguish the flames of revolution, leading to the shootings of hundreds of civilians alongside the armed militants, causing an even greater uproar aimed at the monarchy. Seizing the opportunity, the various leftist factions rallied the masses and overthrew the monarchy, establishing the United Socialist Provinces of Prizyetsa.
Almost immediately the socialist government, which had adopted the name Merrheten (Eng. "The Majorty") found it necessary to appoint a common enemy in order to distract people from the obvious shortcomings of the way the leftist ideology was being implemented in the country. To do this, the policy of klassenkraft (Eng. "Class War") was adopted, and quickly led to the seizing of assets from the aristocracy, the collectivization of land and the expulsion of many of the upper class families from the various cities around the country to the countryside where they were demoted and assimilated into the agrarian classes.
While the concept of klassenkraft fulfilled its intended short term goals of getting people's attention away from the grave problems facing the new government, they also crippled it's capacity to rule the country as many of the aristocracy had been part of the governing class which had ruled Prizyetsa for centuries, and had their own interests in the smooth running of the country. Without their guidance and funds, the socio-economic state of the country went into a temporary period of stagnation as the Merrheten government looked for ways to make its first four-year-plan a success. Ultimately, the decision to expel members of the aristocracy cost the government more than it gained in this initial period as thousands more starved as a result of the famine which had ignited the revolution in the first place.
Only a year after the socialist government had come to power, various other factions had already come together and formed the Loyalistäfaktjon (Eng. “Loyalist Faction”), a group of those still loyal to the monarchy and aristocratic families which had ruled the country before, as well as those who wanted a more democratic Prizyetsa. While the faction was held together by a common goal, and expulsion of the socialist government, the delicate peace between the various internal factions of the alliance was an uneasy one as loyalists and republicans clashed on several occasions.
