Sibaria (/S-eye bá'ría/ Sibarian: Сибирь) officialy The Sibarian Federation is a nation in Greater Moneylania, situated in the region known as Asumiqe. Sibaria is the largest nation in Moneylania at 804,060 km2. It borders D'nalop and Berkraine to the west and Reznovistan to the north-east. Sibaria is known for its technological advancements and economical power,

Tribes in the Sibarian region combined into an empire around early 3000 BC. They then disolved in 725. The Sibarian Kingdom struck a deal with all of the other kingdoms in the area and formed the new Sibarian Empire in 1066, the start of the Medieval Era in Moneylania. The new empire had defeated the Xianuanese in 1152, at the Battle of Devonic Pine. Kings and queens ruled The Sibarian Empire until the late the early 1900's, when a socialist revloution at the hand of Dorofei Yakovlev took over the monarchy and proclaimed himself head of state.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy.

Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Sibaria's national animal is the Emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Sibarian Pyvzik.

History

Ancient Empire

The Sibarian Empire was formed sometime during 3,000BC and had begun expanding shortly after the founding of the empire. It suffered with long series of internal conflicts, conspiracies and civil wars from the late second century BC onwards, while greatly extending its power beyond the Sibarian peninsula, all the way out towards Xianuan. There are also traces of Sibarian settlement in Troesil and Vasil. The 200 years that began with Emperor Vaskil's rule is traditionally regarded as the "Great Expansion". During this period, the cohesion of the empire was furthered by a degree of social stability and economic prosperity that Sibaria had never before experienced. Uprisings in the empire were infrequent, but put down "mercilessly and swiftly" when they occurred. The sixty years of Sibarian–Xian wars in the second half of the 1st century and the first half of the 2nd century were exceptional in their duration and violence.

Federation

Sibarian influence began to decline around 670 AD and continued to decline until the final civil war, the Great Sibarian War in 725 AD, ended what is now known as the Ancient Sibarian Empire. Small kingdoms ruled for about 300 years until the kings and queens of the Sibar Peninsula got together and formed the new Empire of Sibaria, with the king of the largest kingdom, Slakin Arkaeon, taking the role as Tsar.

The Sibarian Empire (1066-1923)

Arkaeon, the Grand Tsar of Sibaria was one of the most beloved of the medieval Sibarian rulers. His policy of open conflict with the Eternal Empire of Xianuan led to his assassination in Tskhinvali in 1056. His son Yonson Arkaeon succeeded him, and, concluding an alliance with the mighty Grand Duchy of Dnalop, managed to raise Sibarian prestige even higher and eventually defeated the Xianuanese in multiple battles.

After years of combat with the Xianuanese, the Dnalopish and Sibarians struck a deal in 1066 to formally induct Dnalop as a kingdom of the Sibarian Kingdom. They would still manage to have a king, but the Tsar had the final say. The Sibarian Empire was born. This new alliance inspired others to join suit. The Berkrainian Clans and the Kingdoms of Reznovi and Garganel signed deals the also inducted them into the Sibarian Empire. This inspired the creation of the Table of the Five Kings in 1121, after all kingdoms had become one.

During this time, the Five Kings had decided to focus internally. Their first decision was to officially form a Berkrainian kingdom. Years of building towns, cities, roads, equipment and farms had finally led to the establishment of the Berkrainian kingdom in 1145.

In 1152, the Xianuanese where officially defeated at the battle of Devonic Pine and the empire took control of the historical Nefilian Marshlands. This is the only land they took for more then two hundred years. Many Tsars ruled the empire leading into the 15 century. At the turn of the century, Sibaria had become a world force, having a powerful military, large navy, abundant resources, a large population and lots of land. The Tsar at the time, Garz Archeon (changing his last name to a more modern pronunciation of Arkaeon), had decided to focus on colonialism.

At first, attempts by the Sibarians to secure much land besides some islands off the coast where futile. This was until Tsar Boris Archeon, son of Garz and head of the Navy, issued the creation of ten new boats able to withstand the harshness of the Moneylanian Sea, a sea that not many have dared to cross. For years, people have stuck to the coast to trade, but in 1456, the new boats where put to use and they where a success.

Mikahel Gorbachov, head of the colonial unit and childhood friend of Boris, set out in 1478 looking to trade with Ironcastle and possibly find some land on the way. They where blown of course, however, spotted a previously unknown island. They set up camp on the island and sent a ship back to notify the Tsar of their discovery, named Daminy (Sibarian for "discovery").

In 1624, the Xianuanese had again taken land from the Sibarians in a surprise attack. Thus, prompted a large scale attack from the Empire. Many stories and songs came from this war, like the musical piece Oveture 1624 by Tchaikovsky and O the lords attacked. In 1626, two years since the war started, the Dnalopish Winged Hussars had led the charge into Guanzow which led to the end of the war and the dissolution of the Xianuanese Empire. Many smaller kingdoms in Xianuan began to fight for control of the entire land.

Industrialisation

In 1803, the Empire began to indusrialise with the discovery of coal in the northern tundras and the production of steel. With this newfound resource, production began to expand. With the discovery of coal and gold in Petrevich in 1808 began one of the biggest gold rushes in Moneylania, with people from all around Sibaria, Xianuan, Ironcastle and even all the way from Platacia began to enter the city.

Industrialisation was easy for the Empire, as each of the kings followed suit with Sibaria. Although Ironcastle is refered as the "center of technological innovation" during the 1800's, Sibaria wasn't too far behind, with it's economy expanding at a rapid pace. Petrevich became almost a secondary industrial capital, under Aelcrest and Gravida. The construction of rail lines and telegraph lines after 1870 allowed movement of people and ideas never seen before in the Empire. In the same period new systems were introduced, most significantly electrical power and telephones. At the closing of the 19th century, the Empire had expanded further into the northern tundras and gained oil deposits.

In 1902, Tsar Wicoslaw had issued the construction of tanks, naval ships and weaponary on a mass scale to improve it's military into it's former glory. By 1910, the navy had expanded to be one of the largest in the world again and the manpower behind the Sibarian troops was unprecedented. In August 1914, Sibaria declared war on Proagovania in response to it's invasion on the Asmeqe nations.

The Great War Period and the Rise of Communism

Tsar Wicoslaw had a romantic vision of him leading his army into battle. Therefore, he spent much time at the Proagovanian Front. However, military disasters at Felushia and The Daniok River greatly weakened the Allied Army in the initial phases of the war. It became clear that the morale of the ordinary Damanian soldier was extremely poor and desertion became a growing problem. Food supplies were poor and erratic. As the front line got closer to the home front, it became obvious to many that both fronts were in total chaos.

King Wicoslaw and his troops

By 1915, the small nation of Croestan was lost to the Proagovanians as they advanced towards the Berkrainian border. Worried for the Berkrainian people, Wicoslaw rallied a massive Allied force the size which has never beens seen before and proceeded to drive the Proagovanians out of Croestan. During late-1916, Wicoslaw had driven the Proagovanians out of Croestan and Grauvand and was on the verge of crossing the Proagavanian border. Wicoslaw's vision of glorious combat had finnaly come true and the Sibarian morale was boosted.

The Sibarians continued to push back the Proagovanians and in 1917 was assisted by the southern nations of the Banana Federation and Ironcastle and by 1918, war had finished. Proagovania was defeated and split into two nations.

The 1920s were an age of dramatic social and political change. Sibarian urban populations rose extremely. The nation’s total wealth more than tripled between 1920 and 1929, and this economic growth swept many Sibarians into an affluent but unfamiliar “consumer society.” People from coast to coast bought the same goods and listened to more music then ever before. However, many Damanians were uncomfortable with this new, urban “mass culture”, in fact, for many people in Daminy, the 1920s brought more conflict than celebration, with the rise of Communism and the anti-Communist protesters. However, for a small handful of young people in the nation’s big cities, the 1920s were roaring.

In 1923, Dorofei Yakovlev had overthrown the Tsar and proclaimed an equal Yakovlev Socialist Society. This continued into the 30's where surprisingly, against the statistics of multiple regional analysts, Sibaria experienced an economic growth. Yakovlev had abolished unofficial slavery, meaning the government had to pay everyone an equal sum.

In 1937, Yakovlev had issued a warning to the world about the new Fascist regime in Flazorus. He stated that they where a threat, however, no one listened. In 1938, the Flazorian regime under Dictator John Clemonts had begun to execute anyone who had allegiances to the opposition party. In 1939, Sibaria declared war on Flazorus when they failed to allow Sibarian troops to be stationed at its border. When the Sibarian Allies entered the war, it was to change the course of World War Two in North Moneylania. In April 1942, Moneylania witnessed what was then the largest land attack in history, named "Plan X". A vast Flazorian force advanced on Sibarian cities, encircled them and proceeded to burn them.

The defeat of an entire Flazorian army at Petrevich was a disaster for the Flazorians and some historians consider this battle the turning point of World War II. Flazorus surrendered on May 7th 1945 thus bringing World War II in North Moneylania to an end. On May 8th, General Daniel Smith arrived at General Volk Zubovic headquarters in Petrevich to sign the surrender document. Four versions of the surrender document were required: in English, Sibarian, Xianuanese and Platacian. Before Smith signed the surrender document, transcripts had been sent for approval to Vladivastak, Plantana, Guanzow and Aelcrest. As the Flazorians were defeated and John Clemonts on trial, Admiral Jackson had assigned Smith to represent him at the signing ceremony.
