Castellán is the motherland of the Castellanese Language, which corresponds to real life Spanish. All mapping (taking away certain place names that might have foreign etymologies), is going to be made in Spanish, in all the territory of Castellán. Think about it more like the birthplace of the Spanish language rather than 'OGF:Spain'.
Suria could mean "land of harsh winds", as the adjective "surovyj" (the harsh) may formed from Proto-Velitic *sѣverъ -- "northern wind".


This territory was previously an owned territory by a single user, which means the country won't start anew. Despite that, the first stage of the collaboration will involve cleanup of the country, given many places are too similar to their counterparts in Spain. The goal of Castellán is to bring an original, but representative motherland for all Spanish-speaking cultures in the map, that represents the culture of the Spanish-speaking region, allowing for significant creativity from the contributors.
==History==


==Coordinators==
===Before the state===
The coordinators of Castellán are [[User:Huachachi|Huachachi]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/Huachachi message]), [[User:Martinawa|Martinawa]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/Martinawa message]) and [[User:sude|sude]] ([https://opengeofiction.net/message/new/sude message])
The historical core of Surian land is located between deltas of rivers Bakhroma and Ina. Velitic tribes appeared on these lands in VI-VII centuries CE, though, Proto-Velites were known to Osinopoli scientists.<ref>"Chronicle of Osinopoli conquests" // Antonius Tiberius Dinerius, circa 70 CE</ref>


==Development Stages==
Suria first appeared in 858 CE when duke named Sved ''(Сьвѣдъ)'' unified a few tribes in a mouth of river Ina and destroyed a Pretannian trading outpost. Near-by, he built a castle and named it Mirgorod.<ref>Неизвестный автор // Велитская Летопись // список боярина Грибницкого, XI век (переписано в XVI в. с дополнениями)</ref>
The first stage of the collaboration will be '''cleanup''' and '''planning''', where cleanup will be done and a draft for Castellán will be made. First stages will involve discussions about the coastline of the country (specially the eastern coast, that needs remodeling), its topology, hydrography, biogeography, and settlement structure (including main roads and cities). Any proposals will be welcome in that regard by any user interested in the project, that will end up in a vote to decide the final general shape of the country.


=== Cleanup ===
[[File:Castellan province cleanup minimap.png|thumb|Provinces of Castellán, used for cleanup purposes. White: Cleaned-up provinces. Yellow: Provinces in cleanup. Green: Provinces available for cleanup. Red: Provinces reserved, not available for cleanup.]]
Cleanup is basically the deletion of all features of the current map, to reset it and allow the redevelopement of the country.


Currently, any user that qualifies (i.e.: has a wiki account) can request to help in the cleanup on [[Forum:Official collaboratives/Castellán#Cleanup|this section of the wiki]], by indicating which province they want to cleanup.


==== Guidelines on cleaning up====
''tbd''
'''DON'T DO SINGLE EDITS OVER 10.000 OBJECTS''' - They will affect the rendering and still appear despite being "deleted" on the server. Split up your uploads accordingly.


'''Be careful on the borders''' - If you see a multipolygon or an area that straddles the limit of your province, leave it as is, the coordinators will take care of it. If there's a way that crosses the limit of your province, delete all its nodes that lie '''inside''' of your province. If the way crosses through your province from two other provinces, you may split the way so that it doesn't awkwardly cross through your province in a straight line.
===Feudalism===


'''Do not delete administrative limits, nor edit the coastline'''. You may edit the tags out of the administrative limits, like rivers or ferry stations, but never delete any nodes or ways.

Suria owned Belaja Dregovina and Dregolesia before 1912.

At the time, it was a tsardom, an absolute monarchy without any means of public represantation. It had underground communist movement. present as small discussion clubs that were spread around Suria. 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<ref>"Рассказы Твирина о своей жизни и работе" - А.Лорцани / Р., изд. "Политиздат", 1940</ref>.

'''Provinces and regions available for cleanup'''
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. Labour-Democratic Faction formed the government of Lido and it is still a main political power in this Republic.


*'''Lión'''
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.


==Discussion==
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.
Any discussion on the territory will be held on the wiki forum thread for Castellán.


==Inspirations==
In May 1912, Karzalia declared independence from Suria, being under influence of Pan-Kazkay movement.
The main theme of the physical geography of the country will be '''Mediterranean'''. Coastlines, climate and biomes will work according to this general guideline.


==Resources==
And now, two groups go to that arena: one being Socialist Party and another being Republic Union.
Any resources that would help in the making or naming of Spanish-style mapping will be posted here. They should be used as a reference, and never as a source for mapping.
 
[[Category:Official collaborative projects]]
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.
[[Category:Castellan collaborative documentation]]
 
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 mostly of unarmed workers. Then, Nikita Lomov, regional leader of SPS, proclaimed United Syndicates of Bogomilov(now Lomov). Industrial heart of Suria was cut off by communes' "belt".<ref>"Голос Рабочего Класса", №37/1912</ref>
 
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:
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Socialist Party of Suria, HQ Chara
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Labour-Democratic Union, HQ Mirgorod
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> 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.
 
In 1960, a construction of new capital began in Surian mountains. It was named Zheleznya.
 
Capital was moved from Osnya to Zheleznya in 1962. The same year, Wilhelm Schwartzfeuer, a leader of Suria got arrested by members of Radical Party for "insufficiency of getting his mandate done"<ref>"О назначении т. Залесского представителем Сурии" // "Конфедерация Труда",18 ноября 1962 г.</ref>. Another candidate from SPS stepped into power -- Oleg Zalessky.
===Social Crisis of 1964. "Radical time"===
1964 started with mass anticommunist protests in Drabantia. Zalessky government ordered the military to prepare for bloody suppression, but was stopped by MPs from Radical Party that sieged the telephone hub of Osnya Parliament, switching it off.
 
The same month, Drabantia, Beldonia and Litvania stopped diplomatic relations with Confederation, claiming that "they now have their own path<ref>Drabantsky rozhlas, vysilani od 7. 1. 1964.</ref>". Trade was stopped.
 
In the March, Suria was accused by new government of Demirhan Empire of invasion and support of 1963 coup<ref>"1965'te Kuzey Demirhanlı Devletinin Kurtuluşu" // Ebedi Sorular, #2/1964</ref>. Suria closed the borders, preparing for war. On 29th February 1964, national Surian radio announced that Demirhani naval ships blocked the access for Surian freight ships, which would lead to delays and shortages of certain goods<ref>"Провокация демирханских националистов" // "Конфедерация Труда", 29.02.1964</ref>.
 
Spring of 1964 was quite uneventful for farmers: promised new Egalian machinery was not delievered, and the old one was already destroyed. Shipping of foreign nutrients was stopped. On 23rd April 1964, government announced <ref>Утренние новости // Радио-Осня, эфир от 23.04.1964</ref> the re-introduction of food stamps.
 
On 16th of May, Radical Party introduced a new Constitution at Zheleznya Palace of Councils. It was drastically different from the one that was introduced under Lortzani's rule in 1941 -- almost zero mention of socialist party's role, yet a whole chapter on "Suria's political catechism". The constitution was labelled as "threatening" and "anti-scientific" by SPS. In the upcoming months, many newspapers published letters from workers with requests on its introduction<ref>"Предложения трудящихся о введении радикальной конституции" // "Конфедерация Труда", 24.06, 18.07, 23.08, 25.08.1964</ref><ref>"Введите конституцию радикалов!" // "Известия Верхнего Сура", 11 июля 1964 г.</ref>.
 
As economic situation in the country got worse and political isolation started to grow its roots, the population lost their confidence in SPS government. RP-backed media figures, including famous newsreader Viktor Morkvin who agreed to read an anti-SPS pamphlet<ref>"Результаты работы СПС" // Радио-Осня, эфир от 02.09.1964</ref> during a newsreel. He was made redundant the following day, but resumed his career a few years later.
 
Radical Party wanted elections to happen as soon as possible. On 4th September, Party Academy sanctioned them on 5th of October.
 
On 5 October, new non-scheduled elections were held. Radical Party and allies won 49% of seats, SPS and allies took only 37%. An RP-supporting politician Zakhar Bogatyrev was made a Chancellor. Oleg Zalessky was deprived of passive elective right. On 10th of October, Parliament approved a new constitution that dissolved Confederal Assembly. Upper house continued its work as a Confederal-level parliament, lower house was re-installed as ten republican parliaments in 1965.

==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.

=== Political Parties ===
By 2020, Suria has six main parties that are united in one National Unity Coalition named Party Academy ''(Партийная Академия)''. Some scholars say that the Party Academy executes the functions of "one big communist party with official parties just being the factions inside it"<ref>"Улињачки преглед" // pages 19-20 of # 6./1979.</ref>.
 
The parties are divided into two sub-coalitions:
 
'''Democratic Bloc''' ''(Демократический блок)'' is the ruling coalition. It agitates for propagation of socialist ideas over the world and rising Suria's authority on the international arena. DB cares for an equal treatment of Surian citizens and social stability. Their electorate are white collars, small entrepreneurs and civil servants. DB receives most of their votes from industrial north and south.
 
* '''Socialist Party of Suria''' ''(Социалистическая Партия Сурии) -'' a party formed in 1912, unifying small Rebel Socialist clubs and parties.
* '''Labour-Democratic Party''' ''(Трудовая Демократическая Партия)'' - an old Social Democratic party formed in 1890s in Lido. Defends the rights of creative class, scientists and intellectuals. Has presence in cities of Radogozh-Mirgorod population corridor.
* '''People's Council Cooperation''' ''(Народное Советское Сотрудничество)'' - a party made in 1913 by Anarchists, through the years under the influence of socialist goverment switched to syndicalist values.
 
'''Progressive Alliance''' ''(Прогрессивный альянс)'' is seen as a parties of mostly blue collars and farmers. PA keeps Suria isolated and see the country as the "last stand bulwark", trying to keep society unaffiliated with outside world's views. Unlike DB, PA is a culturally conservative coalition that differentiates the society and bases their ideology on hierarchy. PA has a strong presence in rural areas of the country and in the mountainous centre.
 
* '''Radical Party''' ''(Радикальная Партия) -'' a nationalist party that switched to economical left values in 1900s. Was a leading power for Republican movement in 1912.

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

Before the state

The historical core of Surian land is located between deltas of rivers Bakhroma and Ina. Velitic tribes appeared on these lands in VI-VII centuries CE, though, Proto-Velites were known to Osinopoli scientists.[1]

Suria first appeared in 858 CE when duke named Sved (Сьвѣдъ) unified a few tribes in a mouth of river Ina and destroyed a Pretannian trading outpost. Near-by, he built a castle and named it Mirgorod.[2]

Imperial Times

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

Suria owned Belaja Dregovina and Dregolesia before 1912.

At the time, it was a tsardom, an absolute monarchy without any means of public represantation. It had underground communist movement. present as small discussion clubs that were spread around Suria. 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[3].

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. Labour-Democratic Faction formed the government of Lido and it is still a main political power in this Republic.

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.

In May 1912, Karzalia declared independence from Suria, being under influence of Pan-Kazkay movement.

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 mostly of unarmed workers. Then, Nikita Lomov, regional leader of SPS, proclaimed United Syndicates of Bogomilov(now Lomov). Industrial heart of Suria was cut off by communes' "belt".[4]

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.

In 1960, a construction of new capital began in Surian mountains. It was named Zheleznya.

Capital was moved from Osnya to Zheleznya in 1962. The same year, Wilhelm Schwartzfeuer, a leader of Suria got arrested by members of Radical Party for "insufficiency of getting his mandate done"[5]. Another candidate from SPS stepped into power -- Oleg Zalessky.

Social Crisis of 1964. "Radical time"

1964 started with mass anticommunist protests in Drabantia. Zalessky government ordered the military to prepare for bloody suppression, but was stopped by MPs from Radical Party that sieged the telephone hub of Osnya Parliament, switching it off.

The same month, Drabantia, Beldonia and Litvania stopped diplomatic relations with Confederation, claiming that "they now have their own path[6]". Trade was stopped.

In the March, Suria was accused by new government of Demirhan Empire of invasion and support of 1963 coup[7]. Suria closed the borders, preparing for war. On 29th February 1964, national Surian radio announced that Demirhani naval ships blocked the access for Surian freight ships, which would lead to delays and shortages of certain goods[8].

Spring of 1964 was quite uneventful for farmers: promised new Egalian machinery was not delievered, and the old one was already destroyed. Shipping of foreign nutrients was stopped. On 23rd April 1964, government announced [9] the re-introduction of food stamps.

On 16th of May, Radical Party introduced a new Constitution at Zheleznya Palace of Councils. It was drastically different from the one that was introduced under Lortzani's rule in 1941 -- almost zero mention of socialist party's role, yet a whole chapter on "Suria's political catechism". The constitution was labelled as "threatening" and "anti-scientific" by SPS. In the upcoming months, many newspapers published letters from workers with requests on its introduction[10][11].

As economic situation in the country got worse and political isolation started to grow its roots, the population lost their confidence in SPS government. RP-backed media figures, including famous newsreader Viktor Morkvin who agreed to read an anti-SPS pamphlet[12] during a newsreel. He was made redundant the following day, but resumed his career a few years later.

Radical Party wanted elections to happen as soon as possible. On 4th September, Party Academy sanctioned them on 5th of October.

On 5 October, new non-scheduled elections were held. Radical Party and allies won 49% of seats, SPS and allies took only 37%. An RP-supporting politician Zakhar Bogatyrev was made a Chancellor. Oleg Zalessky was deprived of passive elective right. On 10th of October, Parliament approved a new constitution that dissolved Confederal Assembly. Upper house continued its work as a Confederal-level parliament, lower house was re-installed as ten republican parliaments in 1965.

Social Crisis of 1994. Neoconservatism.

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.

Political Parties

By 2020, Suria has six main parties that are united in one National Unity Coalition named Party Academy (Партийная Академия). Some scholars say that the Party Academy executes the functions of "one big communist party with official parties just being the factions inside it"[13].

The parties are divided into two sub-coalitions:

Democratic Bloc (Демократический блок) is the ruling coalition. It agitates for propagation of socialist ideas over the world and rising Suria's authority on the international arena. DB cares for an equal treatment of Surian citizens and social stability. Their electorate are white collars, small entrepreneurs and civil servants. DB receives most of their votes from industrial north and south.

  • Socialist Party of Suria (Социалистическая Партия Сурии) - a party formed in 1912, unifying small Rebel Socialist clubs and parties.
  • Labour-Democratic Party (Трудовая Демократическая Партия) - an old Social Democratic party formed in 1890s in Lido. Defends the rights of creative class, scientists and intellectuals. Has presence in cities of Radogozh-Mirgorod population corridor.
  • People's Council Cooperation (Народное Советское Сотрудничество) - a party made in 1913 by Anarchists, through the years under the influence of socialist goverment switched to syndicalist values.

Progressive Alliance (Прогрессивный альянс) is seen as a parties of mostly blue collars and farmers. PA keeps Suria isolated and see the country as the "last stand bulwark", trying to keep society unaffiliated with outside world's views. Unlike DB, PA is a culturally conservative coalition that differentiates the society and bases their ideology on hierarchy. PA has a strong presence in rural areas of the country and in the mountainous centre.

  • Radical Party (Радикальная Партия) - a nationalist party that switched to economical left values in 1900s. Was a leading power for Republican movement in 1912.
  • Egalitarian Club (Эгалитарный Кружок) - a minor communist party.

There is also one unaligned party, called Green Party, formed in 1983 as a youth movement under the name "Organisation for Planet's Caretaking" ("Организация заботы о планете")[14].

Party Academy

Presence in legislature

Military

Surian confederation posesses a united Confederate Army (Конфедеративная Армия), led by a confederal Ministry of Defence. Before Doctrine Change in 1950s, it was called The Universal Labour Army (Всемирная Армия Трудящихся).

Foreign relations

Suria participated in 2nd Workers' Union in 19XX-19XX.

Suria was one of the founding members of Assembly of Nations in 1966.

State symbols

Surian flag is an 12:7 banner with three horizontal stripes of blue, white and red, symbolizing hope, honesty and determination, respectively. In the middle, there is a coat of arms with hammer, stalk of wheat and torch that represents the union of working class, peasants and intellectuals.[15]
