Suria (Сурия), Surian Confederation (Сурийская Конфедерация) or Surian Socialist Confederation (Сурийская Социалистическая Конфедерация) is a union of ten socialist republics in the Central Uletha, formed in 1912 after abolition of monarchy. On the North it borders with UL14c, on the Northwest the Kingdom of Pretany, on the West -- Plevia, on the Southwest — Demirhan Empire, on the Southeast UL20, on the NorthEast — Egalia. On the South, in Chara Republic, Surian lands goes to the coast of Elvirian sea, and in northern republics — to the Great Rift of Glynian sea.

Etymology

Suria could mean "land of harsh winds", as the adjective "surovyj" (the harsh) may formed from Proto-Velitic *sѣverъ -- "northern wind".

History

The Great Strike of 1911. Civil War of 1911-1917

Suria owned Belaja Dregovina and Dregolesia before 1912.

At the time, it was tsardom without parliament and stuff. But it had underground communist movement. Communists were sent to South Suria (modern Chara and south UL20d) to work in prison fortresses and to serve as guards in case of native, Demirhan or Malusorian attacks. One of them was N.K.Tvirin (surname gained from the river Твирь), he lived in prison fortresses along the border.

In December 1911, because of generally miserable state of living among mining industry workers, they went on a strike. A day after that, strike was supported by factory workers in North Suria. For 1911/12 winter, almost all coal mines were abandoned, so factories and railways were stopped. In February 1912, Lidoan-Dregolesian trade unions formed a militia that captured Mirgorod and Cheshnavik. Tsar power was abolished in these states, and so Universal Veche of Lido was created on 25/II.1912. There were 3 dominant parties there: Labour-Democratic Faction, National Party of Lido-Dregolesia and Socialist Party of North Suria. Nationalists soon left the Veche and proclaimed Dregolesia free in March 1912.

Meanwhile, Pan-Kazkay Movement raised its head in Chubuk, on April 1912 they proclaimed an Autonomy. In their Assembly, two dominant factions were pro-left Federalists that believed that Suria shall be 2-republic federation (one being Christic Suria and other being Imani Suria) and pro-right Revanchists that wanted to cooperate with other world powers to pull Suria back to its 1200s borders and govern that land.

Tsar didn't responded on all of that, closed the borders and started preparing the army.

Spring of 1912 was quite barren for the economy -- those who survived the winter were met with closed markets, underground trades and rising inflation. Peasants revolted soon, asking the government for bread.

And now, two groups go to that arena: one being Socialist Party and another being Republic Union.

Heads of Socialist Party of Suria met in Chara (because it was the closest city to the places of exile) in June 1912 to coordinate their actions. Mass liberation of socialist exilees led to instability among soldiers and desertions, government tookover and formation of Socialist Republic of Chara-Ordyn'. From now on, SPS controlled some portion of Surian land. Now, they wanted to march on Radogozh.

Tsar knew about Kazkay Uprising and Dregolesia secession, so he sent a significant number of divisions to get them back. But a lot of soldiers got "lost" (id est, deserted or just got back home to help their families) along the way, and many more joined the other side.

Now, SPS land was encircled: Kazkay from the north attacked them several times, and moving to Radogozh with battles could took about 6 months. That was already too much for SPS, as party leaders were afraid that Suria will cease in 1912/13 winter. They were thinking of another option -- arming strikers and proclaiming "working communes" around Radogozh, encircling capital and then crushing the tsar's army.

Republican Union was originally a group of Surian emigrants, dreaming of Suria being democratic republic. They saw their country breaking apart and decided to reach Radogozh before socialists to take their sweet piece of pie. They hired a few thousands of merchants, crossed the border in Mardoumakhstan and Plevia without problem and started moving through farmlands of SW Suria, recruiting former soldiers. Such militia went up to the edge of White Mountains.

In June-July 1912, Radogozh Commune was established. It was a conglomerate of quarters, consisting of unarmed workers, akin to 2020 Seattle Capitol Area. Then, Nikita Lomov, regional leader of SPS, proclaimed United Syndicates of Bogomilov(now Lomov). Industrial heart of Suria was cut off by communes' "belt".

On 9 September 1912, tsar (formally) resigned and Surian Republic was formed. Elections happened on 1 December 1912, Republican Union took majority of votes. They appointed tsar as "provisional President" to have a compromise with local nobility that wasn't very happy of emigrant societies taking control. At this time, socialists refused to hold new presidential elections and to have a post of president in general, they discarded all bills on that topic. Also, Surian republic was a unitary state, whileas socialist-controlled territories de-facto saved their governmental bodies. A triarchy occured: Socialists, Republicans and Monarchists tried to control the state. Monarchists haven't got the representation in the Parliament, so they weren't able to control the bills, rather the army and the police. Republicans controlled ministries and govt. agencies, and Socialists controlled factories, railways and trade unions.

Meanwhile, Dregolesian and Kazkay independence was recognised by Parliament in order to raise Surian diplomatic weight and, generally, end the civil war. Republicans wanted them to be in Surian diplomatic bloc, that didn't worked out as Dregolesia soon decided to unify with Geklinia and in Kazkay, foreign troops were sent, namely Demirhan, Kalmish, Franquese and Karolian.

Socialists proposed the idea of Suria being a federation, but Republicans rejected it, blaming them of irredentism. From 1913 to 1916, two governments govern Suria at the same time, but their competing intentions let Suria without proper governance. Local socialist organs, where available, provided basic and very rough service for citizens, but that was more than Republican central govt. could provide.

So, in the next elections (1 December 1916), Tvirin(head coordinator), Pegov(leader of Lido), Koltushev, Lomov(possibly leader of Sur), SPS made a high stake on areas affected by syndicalist, labor and socialist rule.

It's worth to say that many socialist parties united into Party Academy during 1912. Notable List:

* Socialist Party of Suria, HQ Chara

* Labour-Democratic Union, HQ Mirgorod

* Radical Party (split from Republicans, joined 1916), HQ Osnya

1916 elections proved Socialist governance over Suria. So, firstly, new cabinet sacked tsar ministers, proclaimed Suria a federation and abolished post of president. Head of the state, or Head Chairman, was now a role with candidate rotation(candidate from one republic for a year, the a candidate from another one, and so on).

On 17 December 1916, tsar and Republicans tried to flew to Plevia, but got stopped by Plevian border guards. That event was called "The Renuncation". So, they retreated to remote area of Belaja Dregovina. With that, on 1 July 1917, Kartlegian Kingdom joined Suria (because of abolition of Kartlegian monarchy) and Belaja Dregovina seceded by a popular vote of Surian nobles and emigrants.

Suria was governed from Chara in 1916-1925.

Early Socialism

Karzalia joined Suria in 1920.

Suria's capital was Osnya in 1925-1962.

Martial law. Post-bellum Suria

In 1942, Bardash Republic was created. Previously, it was the Bardash Region of Sur Republic.

Capital was moved from Osnya to Zheleznya in 1962.

Geography

Climate

Climatic conditions in Suria are contrasting, what determined by its position in the central part of the continent, between 40 and 55.5 degrees north latitude. Access precipitation from west blocked by west Satria mountains; southern tropical air masses generally do not rise above the mountains on the Chara coast. Everywhere in country climate is arid, maximum precipitation occurs in spring and summer. So, cold, but non-snowy winters complicate agriculture in most parts of Suria. The climate in Suria is extreme continental, except the north (Lido) and south (Chara Coast) parts of country. Coastal part of Chara is the only region, where the climate is similar to the mediterranean. The country territory is in the steppe and desert natural zones. Deserts dominate the east, in the republic Chobouk. The Republic of Tabriz has a pronounced high-altitude zone: less than 1 km away the desert, from 1 to 2 km - dry heaths and scrub, from 2 to 3 km - woodlands, and Alpian meadows higher. In the inner Arhyz Bardash republic mountain steppes are dominated, and forests almost don't exist. Republics Marv and Livadia, as well as the southern part of the Sur republic, are located in classical steppe landscape, which transform in open woodlands and thickets saxaul at altitudes above 500 m. The northern part of the Republic Sur and the Republic Lido differ wetter (up to 500 mm / year) climate. Here is dominated steppe landscape, and on the slopes of the mountains - coniferous forests. Only in the far north near the town of Mirgorod forest boundary come down to sea level. Glaciers in the White Mountains begin with heights of 2.5 km, whereas in the mountains Arkhyz - only 4 km (because of the extremely arid climate). The maximum precipitation (over 2,000 mm) falls in the mountains Gondra (Chara) and on the slopes of the volcano Markaruk (White Mountains). In the western part of the country Chobouk there are regions where rainfall does not happen for several years.
