Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Subdivisions===
Novenad is divided into 12 regions, with 77 districts. All regions and districts have a unique Economics and Statistics System (ESS) identifier, required for the coordination of trade and government support.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Novenadian Space Force (Novenasvemirskage) ===
{{Main|[[Novenadian Space Force]]}}
[[File:NSS3.png|thumb|Insignia for the Novenadian Space Force|183x183px]]
The Novenadian Space Force was formed as a domestic alternative to complete integration with the AASC and a perceived overreliance on allied support. The NSS is the newest branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces, and itself contains the Multidomain Marine Force to perform boarding actions, seize surface targets, and along with several Atreian spacecraft designs form the expeditionary arm of the NSS.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komandspecialnemisia'') ===

* Specialneterenskoperacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.
[[File:NovenadRail.png|thumb|Novenad railway lines, operated and maintained by Novenad Rail]]
===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2156, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 20th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

In 2200, the Special Particle Collider completed preliminary tests and beam alignment, officially becoming the largest particle accelerator on kerbin with a circumference of 100 kilometers.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s abroad to aid in defeating the SS. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement in foreign wars soured, and a shift back to Veiidic isolationism began.

'''Alnov''' is a Novenadian mining company and the largest manufacturer of natural resources in Veiid. After being founded as '''Aluminum Group of Novenad''' in 2162 and operating independently for several decades, Alnov expanded significantly during the 2170s to become one of the foremost producer of aluminum, steel, copper, and precious metals. The company along with its holdings were purchased by the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]] (NSEF) in 2182 after filing for bankruptcy. Currently, Alnov operated several subsidiaries and other holdings around Veiid.

== History ==
Alnov was created by a group of investors on April 12th, 2162. The group purchased a significant fraction of the resource rights to Mt. Vema from the Novenadian government, which was at the time investing heavily in restarting the mining industry. As they were not eligible for subsidy by NSEF as a foreign-owned company, Alnov competed with other mining companies and won a large contract for the excavation of the Kivina Mountain Complex, funded by the Novenadian Armed Forces.

The '''National Strategic Enterprise Fund''' '''(NSEF)''' is a sovereign wealth fund owned by the collective peoples of Novenad and managed by the Citizen's Assembly. NSEF uses excess revenue from the mining and petroleum industries to invest in key areas and promote growth in industries aligned with national interests. NSEF is strictly limited to investing in companies based in the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth.

==History==
NSEF was formed in 2158 as part of a series of economic measures to secure the rapidly devolving post-revolution economy. Several startups were partially funded by NSEF investments, including Air Novenad and Baskay Petroleum, now two of the largest Novenadian corporations. The high returns on these early investments allowed NSEF to fund a portion of the design and construction of the [[Special Particle Collider]] project.

'''Air Novenad''' is the flag carrier airline and largest airline of Novenad by fleet size. It was formed following the Novenadian Revolution under the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]] (NSEF). Currently, Air Novenad flies to 52 destinations worldwide, primarily servicing Veiidic nations.
==History ==
Air Novenad was one of several national market leaders formed under the banner of NSEF. In 2166, Air Novenad used the government bursaries made available to it under the program to purchase a variety of short and long haul aircraft, and promptly began negotiations for terminals in other Veiidic countries. Due largely to lucrative government contracts for ferrying [[Reclamation Corp]] troops between hubs and remote airstrips as well as the massive flood of passengers during the post-revolution recovery and Soaring '70s, Air Novenad was able to expand quickly.
In 2174 Air Novenad was officially named the flag carrier airline of Novenad, after an ad campaign bolstering national pride in the airline. The airline suffered from a market downturn in the early 2180s, which combined with the burden of several contracts that reduced passenger capacity without adequate compensation led to the company filing for bankruptcy in spring of 2185. Air Novenad reorganized and cut deadweight, re-emerging as a much more streamlined company 18 months later under the ownership of [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund|NSEF]].

In 2193 Air Novenad instituted a bottom up overhaul, replacing the cabins in all aircraft. The new cabins included:

* New ergonomic seats in all classes
* Larger 16" touchscreen VOD with noise-cancelling headphones
* USB and 120V plugs underneath every seat
* Free satellite based internet service on international flights
* Free alcoholic beverages on all flights, and [[Spiyrt]] available for purchase.

The airline also announced they would no longer be transporting goats to secure military facilities, a decision welcomed by several prominent animal rights activists.

'''Baskay Petroleum''' is an energy conglomerate based in the Nrida Special Economic Zone in Novenad. It is a major provider of energy for Novenad and surrounding Veiidic countries.

== History ==
Baskay Petroleum was created by Segs Inturkurs in 2164 as a merger between two local energy companies. Both companies had been vocal supporters of Lovro Horvat's regime, and were facing heavy persecution by the newly founded Novenadian Government. Following the merger, the companies were able to chokehold the energy market and force the government to halt investigations.

In 2167, NSEF agreed to provide funding on condition that Baskay Petroleum begin pivoting to more environmentally conscious forms of energy, perform an internal investigation to remove the higher-ranking employees with pro-Horvat leanings, and allow government oversight to ensure these conditions were being met. Baskay Petroleum agreed, and was rewarded with significant capital to develop their holdings and invest in the first nuclear power plants. The success of these plants led to the creating of the subsidiary Baskay Atomics, which undertakes the management of all nuclear-related operations.

The Novenadian Revolution was a civil war between the Varkrimeski-led New Kalban Republic and Novenad (then a coalition of states seeking independence from the NKR). It lasted just over a year from 2154 to 2156, incurring heavy losses for both sides. The Revolution resulted in the dissolution of the NKR and the creation of modern-day Novenad, as well as the secession of Sokovo and Southern Karjina from the NKR, with the two states promptly joining Fortis.

=== Background ===
Aleksander Varkrimeski seized power from the Yellow-Red Coalition on the 24th of Paril, 2153, and began a crusade against those in the NKR who didn't follow his interpretation of Patrism. His primary targets were prominent figures aligned with the Veiidic-Baskayan Church, but after a mental breakdown he soon began a campaign of terror against the general population. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." Fear permeated the nation, with most people locking their doors or fleeing their homes and cities in the following weeks. Varkrimeski sent the specially formed task force Religiosna Sila Prostichavan (Religious Purification Forces), composed of his most loyal squadrons and commanders, to round up anyone who had publicly promoted traditionalist views and threaten reprisals for those who refused to report traditionalist Patrists.

The independent nature of NKR provinces, religious persecution of prominent figures, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming; Novenad, Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, Sokovo, and Southern Karjina, with the latter two seeking to join the Federal Republic of Fortis. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had significant political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the 3rd NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer of 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

=== Warfare ===

==== Initial attacks ====
The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but fighting stalled early on as both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. From 2154 to 2158 a series of unusually cold winters plagued the two sides, stalling offensive actions and slowing down attacks by the NKR. Follwoing the failure of the southern offensive, the 2nd National Army was directed to push through the Karjinian Plateau to strike at the heart of Novenad.

==== Stagnation ====
The majority of fighting throughout the revolution occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Plateau sits at roughly 6000 meters above sea level, and remains above the snow line for most of the year. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. The winter of 2154 was particularly rough, with the plateau receiving 5 meters of snow over the course of the winter in contrast to the average of 3 meters. The 3rd National Army developed techniques for mountain warfare, utilizing skis to keep infantry mobile, requisitioning tractors and tracked vehicles from locals to transport equipment, and using the friendly Patrist monasteries unique to the Karjinas for shelter and supplies. [[Spiyrt]] became a high-value commodity for both sides during this period.

For the 1st and 2nd National Armies, the environment of the Karjinian Plateau was too harsh for the conscripts, who mostly came from the subtropical northern areas. Morale was reduced by frostbite, hypothermia, unending guerilla attacks from the 3rd National Army, and the splitting of the NKR. Many soldiers in the 1st and 2nd National Armies were from Belkagranic & Ladnovizen or the southern states, both of which had split from the NKR leaving soldiers fighting for a country they had no real ties to. Desertions were high for NKR forces, leading to strange customs such as the 23rd Infantry tying soldiers to each other to prevent one from running off. Actions like this further reduced morale and created a miserable situation often compared with combat in terms of quality.

==== NKR breakthrough ====
In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted most of the the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack. The 3rd National Army suffered significant losses during this offensive, and was forced to retreat from the Karjinas entirely.

==== Belkan involvement ====
Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

During this period many extremist factions on the Novenadian side began to diminish in number and influence, due in large part to being pushed into dangerous assignments. Lucija Berislav admitted in an interview with the [[Balgred Post]] that this was an institutional push to weed out groups that could sidetrack the path to democracy post-revolution.

Resources provided by Belka alongside manpower from Belkagranic & Ladnovizen allowed the 3rd National Army to mount an offensive campaign through the stagnant and poorly defended southern passes, forcing the 1st National Army to divert attention from the Karjinian Plateau to reinforce their southern defenses. This created an opening for a push by the 3rd National Army into the Karjinas, forcing the now severely underequipped 2nd National Army to retreat entirely.

Now with control of the Karjinas, the 3rd National Army encircled the 1st National Army, breaking their lines and forcing them to surrender completely.

By June of 2156, the 2nd National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and the 3rd National Army had a decisive advantage in both equipment, manpower, and morale over what was left of NKR forces. Strikes on military hubs were nearly constant, and the supply lines of the 2nd National Army were in tatters. On the 20th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared from the capital between 12:30 AM and 5:00 AM. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces.

=== Aftermath ===
The NKR welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office as interim Prime Minister and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political upheaval began to settle.

The Novenadian Space Force, or Novenasvemirskage (NSS), is the black-water naval branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces. The NSS often operates in conjunction with the [[Atreus Aerospace Command|AASC]] and other military branches of the PVC.

== History ==

=== Formation ===
The NSS was officially formed on Midsummer 27th, 2201, on the 45th anniversary of the end of the Novenadian revolution. 2 years later, in 2203, it began active recruiting and announced plans to purchase Atreian hulls. As of 2206, the NSS is in the process of purchasing a variety of spacecraft.

== Organization ==

=== Command structure ===
The NSS operates as an independent branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Special Missions Command. Structurally, it borrows many elements from the AASC, while generally operating a smaller fleet.

=== Unit organization ===

==== Task forces ====
Task forces are the largest continuous formation operated by the NSS. Much like those of the AASC, task forces are meant to operate independently or integrate with the larger AASC fleets. In order to cooperate with AASC command, task forces are commanded by a Rear Admiral (PVC code OF-7). Task forces are generally built around [[Bakan]]-class assault carriers or [[Hartfordia II Class Heavy Cruiser|Hartfordia II]] class heavy cruisers.

Task forces are numbered as TFN-X, with X being a number assigned based on seniority and currently operating task forces (EX: TFN-1, TFN-2, ect.). When operating under AASC command, task forces follow AASC naming conventions.

==== Task units ====
Task units are another element pulled from AASC doctrine, and are centered around [[Skyflash]]-class destroyers supported by light units. Task units make up task forces, and are generally used to protect shipping, conduct anti-piracy operations, and perform small boarding actions. They are commanded by a Commodore or Captain (PVC code OF-6).

=== Operating Forces ===
There are currently 2 active commands in the NSS:

* The Novenadian Fleet Operations Command
* The Novenadian Fleet Training & Logistics Command

The NSS also utilizes AASC NAVNETCOM for streamlined communications.

=== Shore establishments ===
As of 2206, all NSS establishments are located on Kerbin, either in Nrida or alongside the Novenadian Air Defense Force at Pecovia AFB.

Spiyrt

2026-03-19T16:36:28Z

Orion: /* Contemporary Period */

'''Spiyrt''' ("Spirit"), known colloquially as '''Veyaska''' ("Inferno") or '''Karjinova''' is a traditional Novenadian herbal liquor distilled in the Karjinian Patrist monasteries. Due to the high alcohol by volume (87-97.2%), drinking more than 160mL at a time can be fatal to the average kerbal. Many Karjinians have built up a tolerance to alcohol and are able to ingest up to approximately 180mL before entering a coma. Spiyrt is composed of distilled alcohol aged in a casket with several high-altitude herbs native to the Karjinas, often diluted with glacial meltwater before consumption to reduce the risk of alcohol poisoning. The exact methods of distillation and combination of herbs is unknown, as the full recipes are trade secrets and differ between monasteries. Some monasteries have allegedly used psychoactive herbs in the mixture to achieve enlightenment; however, these claims are rumors and there is no evidence any exported liquor has contained psychoactive substances.

= History =
===Origins===
The first recorded reference to spiyrt is found in a journal by [[Patrism|Patrist]] monk Konstantin at the Varoslav monastery. He wrote in an entry dated to the winter of 822 that a man had been taken into the care of the monastery suffering from frostbite and hypothermia. After recovering, he gifted them "a recipe for the liquid fire of the [[Patrism|Divine]]." The recipe is said to contain various alpine herbs generally growing above 3-4 kilometres above sea level, and a several step distillation process used to maintain the flavors despite the high alcohol content.

=== Medieval Period ===
From its creation up until around the mid 2080s, distillation and use remained strictly monastic. Communities grew around these monasteries, establishing ritualized trades and jobs around spiyrt production. Traditions grew around the liquor, often centering around coming-of-age, marriage, or a similar milestone.

=== Novenadian Revolution ===
Facing persecution by the Varkrimeski-led NKR, the Karjinian monasteries were quick to offer their quiet support to the Novenadian forces. Soldiers of the 3rd National Army were sheltered in monasteries and the surrounding communities, and supplied with spiyrt. Besides its role as "liquid courage", popular accounts detail spiyrt being used as a disinfectant and sedative in field hospitals when supplies were low, and starting fluid for emergencies. The colloquial name veyaska became widespread during this period, referring to the way it dulled the effects of the cold on soldiers in the Karjinas.

=== Contemporary Period ===
After the end of the revolution and the establishment of modern Novenad, the government instituted the Monasterial Act, which recognized the religious right of the Patrist Church of Novenad to keep the recipe a trade secret. The Government of Novenad distributes annual licenses to retailers and distillers allowing them to sell the liquor, limiting the production and sale to trusted organizations only, as well as requiring random toxicity screenings of exported casks.

In 2177, a Novenadian Assembly for Culture voted to build an underground bunker in the Karjinas filled with over 16,000 litres (valued at approximately Ǩ1,900,000) of monastery produced Eliksir Bosantsva and Overproof spiyrt. The bunker is managed by the Organization for Culture and is largely automated. In the event of a large scale attack the bunker will seal the liquor behind a series of 60 inch steel bulkheads, and the ventilation and atmospheric systems are designed to protect the spiyrt from nuclear, biological, and chemical attack. Several surface-to-air missile systems located in the surrounding mountains protect the bunker from aircraft and cruise missiles.

= Cultural Significance =
Spiyrt is deeply rooted in Patrist religion, and is used in monasteries for rites and blessings. Monastic bottles and casks are sold blessed and sealed with wax, and breaking the seal outside of ceremonial contexts or social milestones is considered taboo. Original casks are often used as a state gift to foreign dignitaries, accompanying or in the place of the traditional goat and stockings.

Monks will often choose trades relating to the production of the drink, such as casket-making, distilling, and shopkeeping.

= Types =

=== Overproof spiyrt ===
Overproof spiyrt is the legal name for officially manufactured monasterial spiyrt with an ABV between 90% and the practical maximum, 97.2%. Overproof is almost never drunk neat due to the high risks of overconsumption. Generally, veyaska is mixed with glacial meltwater or a sweet tea to release flavors and dilute the alcohol content.

=== Eliksir Bosantsva ===
Eliksir Bosantsva (73% ABV) is a less alcoholic version of spiyrt, with the same herbal base as Overproof but more inherent flavour. As such it is generally reserved as a diplomatic gift between monasteries and government officials, a tradition dating back to the early 900s.

=== Karjinova ===
Karjinova is a black market product often touted as spiyrt. However, the beverage is closer in composition to medical ethanol with none of the herbal additives or the distillation process. Karjinova sometimes contains toxic substances such as heroin, Carfentanyl, and many other addictive components. Several known karjinova manufacture and distribution rings are active in Novenad.

= Legal Status =
=== Controversies ===
Karjinova is the subject of an ongoing joint police and military operation intended to eliminate the syndicates responsible for the manufacture of off brand spiyrt.

=== Use in Assassinations ===
Ulf Klemsengrad, a judge in Novi Postro, was assassinated in 2182 using a cask of tampered spiyrt with a higher than labelled alcohol content and 2 grams of cyanide. Novi Postro law enforcement released an official statement saying they were investigating possible ties to the Zmaj cartel, but declined any comment on the motive behind the assassination. Several high ranking members of the cartel were arrested, but eventually released.

Task units are another element pulled from AASC doctrine, and are centered around [[Skyflash]]-class destroyers supported by light units. Task units make up task forces, and are generally used to protect shipping, conduct anti-piracy operations, and perform small boarding actions. They are commanded by a Commodore or Captain (PVC code OF-6).

=== Operating Forces ===
There are currently 2 active commands in the NSS:

* The Novenadian Fleet Operations Command
* The Novenadian Fleet Training & Logistics Command

The NSS also utilizes AASC NAVNETCOM for streamlined communications.

=== Shore establishments ===
As of 2206, all NSS establishments are located on Kerbin, either in Nrida or alongside the Novenadian Air Defense Force at Pecovia AFB.

The Novenadian Space Force, or Novenasvemirskage (NSS), is the black-water naval branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces. The NSS often operates in conjunction with the [[Atreus Aerospace Command|AASC]] and other military branches of the PVC.

== History ==

=== Formation ===
The NSS was officially formed on Midsummer 27th, 2201, on the 45th anniversary of the end of the Novenadian revolution. 2 years later, in 2203, it began active recruiting and announced plans to purchase Atreian hulls. As of 2206, the NSS is in the process of purchasing a variety of spacecraft.

== Organization ==

=== Command structure ===
The NSS operates as an independent branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces alongside the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Special Missions Command. Structurally, it borrows many elements from the AASC, while generally operating a smaller fleet.

=== Unit organization ===

==== Task forces ====
Task forces are the largest continuous formation operated by the NSS. Much like those of the AASC, task forces are meant to operate independently or integrate with the larger AASC fleets. In order to cooperate with AASC command, task forces are commanded by a Rear Admiral (PVC code OF-7). Task forces are generally built around [[Bakan]]-class assault carriers or [[Hartfordia II Class Heavy Cruiser|Hartfordia II]] class heavy cruisers.

Task forces are numbered as TFN-X, with X being a number assigned based on seniority and currently operating task forces (EX: TFN-1, TFN-2, ect.). When operating under AASC command, task forces follow AASC naming conventions.

==== Task units ====
Task units are another element pulled from AASC doctrine, and are centered around [[Skyflash]]-class destroyers supported by light units. Task units make up task forces, and are generally used to protect shipping, conduct anti-piracy operations, and perform small boarding actions. They are commanded by a Commodore or Captain (PVC code OF-6).

=== Operating Forces ===
There are currently 2 active commands in the NSS:

* The Novenadian Fleet Operations Command
* The Novenadian Fleet Training & Logistics Command

The NSS also utilizes AASC NAVNETCOM for streamlined communications.

=== Shore establishments ===
As of 2206, all NSS establishments are located on Kerbin, either in Nrida or alongside the Novenadian Air Defense Force at Pecovia AFB.

Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Subdivisions===
Novenad is divided into 12 regions, with 77 districts. All regions and districts have a unique Economics and Statistics System (ESS) identifier, required for the coordination of trade and government support.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Novenadian Space Force (Novenasvemirskage) ===
{{Main|[[Novenadian Space Force]]}}
[[File:NSS3.png|thumb|Insignia for the Novenadian Space Force|183x183px]]
The Novenadian Space Force was formed as a domestic alternative to complete integration with the AASC and a perceived overreliance on allied support. The NSS is the newest branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces, and itself contains the Multidomain Marine Force to perform boarding actions, seize surface targets, and along with several Atreian spacecraft designs form the expeditionary arm of the NSS.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komandspecialnemisia'') ===

* Specialneterenskoperacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.

===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2156, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 20th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement soured, and a notable shift back towards non-interventionism began to take hold.

In 2202, the transfer of the former NKR Redevelopment Zone from Fortis to Novenad officially begun. Reintegration is still underway as of 2206.

The Novenadian Revolution was a civil war between the Varkrimeski-led New Kalban Republic and Novenad (then a coalition of states seeking independence from the NKR). It lasted just over a year from 2154 to 2156, incurring heavy losses for both sides. The Revolution resulted in the dissolution of the NKR and the creation of modern-day Novenad, as well as the secession of Sokovo and Southern Karjina from the NKR, with the two states promptly joining Fortis.

=== Background ===
Aleksander Varkrimeski seized power from the Yellow-Red Coalition on the 24th of Paril, 2153, and began a crusade against those in the NKR who didn't follow his interpretation of Patrism. His primary targets were prominent figures aligned with the Veiidic-Baskayan Church, but after a mental breakdown he soon began a campaign of terror against the general population. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." Fear permeated the nation, with most people locking their doors or fleeing their homes and cities in the following weeks. Varkrimeski sent the specially formed task force Religiosna Sila Prostichavan (Religious Purification Forces), composed of his most loyal squadrons and commanders, to round up anyone who had publicly promoted traditionalist views and threaten reprisals for those who refused to report traditionalist Patrists.

The independent nature of NKR provinces, religious persecution of prominent figures, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming; Novenad, Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, Sokovo, and Southern Karjina, with the latter two seeking to join the Federal Republic of Fortis. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had significant political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the 3rd NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer of 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

=== Warfare ===

==== Initial attacks ====
The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but fighting stalled early on as both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. From 2154 to 2158 a series of unusually cold winters plagued the two sides, stalling offensive actions and slowing down attacks by the NKR. Follwoing the failure of the southern offensive, the 2nd National Army was directed to push through the Karjinian Plateau to strike at the heart of Novenad.

==== Stagnation ====
The majority of fighting throughout the revolution occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Plateau sits at roughly 6000 meters above sea level, and remains above the snow line for most of the year. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. The winter of 2154 was particularly rough, with the plateau receiving 5 meters of snow over the course of the winter in contrast to the average of 3 meters. The 3rd National Army developed techniques for mountain warfare, utilizing skis to keep infantry mobile, requisitioning tractors and tracked vehicles from locals to transport equipment, and using the friendly Patrist monasteries unique to the Karjinas for shelter and supplies. [[Spiyrt]] became a high-value commodity for both sides during this period.

For the 1st and 2nd National Armies, the environment of the Karjinian Plateau was too harsh for the conscripts, who mostly came from the subtropical northern areas. Morale was reduced by frostbite, hypothermia, unending guerilla attacks from the 3rd National Army, and the splitting of the NKR. Many soldiers in the 1st and 2nd National Armies were from Belkagranic & Ladnovizen or the southern states, both of which had split from the NKR leaving soldiers fighting for a country they had no real ties to. Desertions were high for NKR forces, leading to strange customs such as the 23rd Infantry tying soldiers to each other to prevent one from running off. Actions like this further reduced morale and created a miserable situation often compared with combat in terms of quality.

==== NKR breakthrough ====
In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted most of the the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack. The 3rd National Army suffered significant losses during this offensive, and was forced to retreat from the Karjinas entirely.

==== Belkan involvement ====
Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

During this period many extremist factions on the Novenadian side began to diminish in number and influence, due in large part to being pushed into dangerous assignments. Lucija Berislav admitted in an interview with the [[Balgred Post]] that this was an institutional push to weed out groups that could sidetrack the path to democracy post-revolution.

Resources provided by Belka alongside manpower from Belkagranic & Ladnovizen allowed the 3rd National Army to mount an offensive campaign through the stagnant and poorly defended southern passes, forcing the 1st National Army to divert attention from the Karjinian Plateau to reinforce their southern defenses. This created an opening for a push by the 3rd National Army into the Karjinas, forcing the now severely underequipped 2nd National Army to retreat entirely.

Now with control of the Karjinas, the 3rd National Army encircled the 1st National Army, breaking their lines and forcing them to surrender completely.

By June of 2156, the 2nd National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and the 3rd National Army had a decisive advantage in both equipment, manpower, and morale over what was left of NKR forces. Strikes on military hubs were nearly constant, and the supply lines of the 2nd National Army were in tatters. On the 20th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared from the capital between 12:30 AM and 5:00 AM. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces.

=== Aftermath ===
The NKR welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office as interim Prime Minister and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political upheaval began to settle.

Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Subdivisions===
Novenad is divided into 12 regions, with 77 districts. All regions and districts have a unique Economics and Statistics System (ESS) identifier, required for the coordination of trade and government support.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Novenadian Space Force (Novenasvemirskage) ===
{{Main|[[Novenadian Space Force]]}}
[[File:NSS3.png|thumb|Insignia for the Novenadian Space Force|183x183px]]
The Novenadian Space Force was formed as a domestic alternative to complete integration with the AASC and a perceived overreliance on allied support. The NSS is the newest branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces, and itself contains the Multidomain Marine Force to perform boarding actions, seize surface targets, and along with several Atreian spacecraft designs form the expeditionary arm of the NSS.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komandspecialnemisia'') ===

* Specialneterenskoperacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.
[[File:NovenadRail.png|thumb|Novenad railway lines, operated and maintained by Novenad Rail]]
===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2156, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 27th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement soured, and a notable shift back towards non-interventionism began to take hold.

In 2202, the transfer of the former NKR Redevelopment Zone from Fortis to Novenad officially begun. Reintegration is still underway as of 2206.

Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Subdivisions===
Novenad is divided into 12 regions, with 77 districts. All regions and districts have a unique Economics and Statistics System (ESS) identifier, required for the coordination of trade and government support.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Novenadian Space Force (Novenasvemirskage) ===
{{Main|[[Novenadian Space Force]]}}
[[File:NSS3.png|thumb|Insignia for the Novenadian Space Force|183x183px]]
The Novenadian Space Force was formed as a domestic alternative to complete integration with the AASC and a perceived overreliance on allied support. The NSS is the newest branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces, and itself contains the Multidomain Marine Force to perform boarding actions, seize surface targets, and along with several Atreian spacecraft designs form the expeditionary arm of the NSS.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komandspecialnemisia'') ===

* Specialneterenskoperacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.
[[File:NovenadRail.png|thumb|Novenad railway lines, operated and maintained by Novenad Rail]]
===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2155, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 27th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement soured, and a notable shift back towards non-interventionism began to take hold.

In 2202, the transfer of the former NKR Redevelopment Zone from Fortis to Novenad officially begun. Reintegration is still underway as of 2206.

Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Novenadian Space Force (Novenasvemirskage) ===
[[File:NSS3.png|thumb|Insignia for the Novenadian Space Force]]
The Novenadian Space Force was formed as a domestic alternative to complete integration with the AASC and a perceived overreliance on allied support. The NSS is the newest branch of the Novenadian Armed Forces, and itself contains the Multidomain Marine Force to perform boarding actions, seize surface targets, and along with several Atreian spacecraft designs form the expeditionary arm of the NSS.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komandspecialnemisia'') ===

* Specialneterenskoperacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.
[[File:NovenadRail.png|thumb|Novenad railway lines, operated and maintained by Novenad Rail]]
===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2155, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 27th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement soured, and a notable shift back towards non-interventionism began to take hold.

In 2202, the transfer of the former NKR Redevelopment Zone from Fortis to Novenad officially begun. Reintegration is still underway as of 2206.

Novenad is a country in [[Veiid]] bordering the Minor Baskay Bay to the east, [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]] to the south, [[Irsmuncast]] to the north, and Atreus to the west. The capital and largest city is [[Nrida]]. Novenad has a population of just over 3.5 million people, most of whom live in dense population centers situated in flatter areas. The majority of the population is ethnic Kalbanian. The official languages are Kerbian and Karkow; with 92.3% and 6.6% of the population speaking the first and latter respectively as their primary language. Novenad is situated around a large mountain range, one of the tallest on Kerbin. It also has large fertile plains along the northern and western borders as well as along the Minor Baskay, which form the core of agricultural production. Land cover outside of alpine areas is predominantly grassland and mixed forest.

Novenad is a newly industrialized country, recovering from several decades of authoritarianism and war, with a growing economy and strong workforce. Novenad has a well developed maritime and defense industry, with several major shipping companies. As of 2200, Novenad maintains an official policy of non-interference as a member of the [[Veiidic Commonwealth|Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].
==Etymology==
The name Novenad is a modernization of the Old Kerbian term Nova Nada for a “new beginning” or “new hope”, reflecting the desire to end the turmoil of the past centuries that was a core idea of the new nation. It was chosen by public referendum out of five other proposals in December 2162, and drafted in the new constitution in January 2163. Critics of the name state that it results from a mistranslation, attributing the proper root word to Tezan. Some claim the adoption of the modernized spelling disconnects the country from its past, and the root word should have been used.

==Geography==
[[File:NovenadRelief.png|thumb|A topographical map of Novenad]]
Novenad is located in central Veiid, bordering Desovo, Atreus, Irsmuncast, and Fortis, sharing maritime borders with the latter two in the Minor Baskay Bay. Most of the 32,241 km2 of Novenadian territory is dominated by the Karjina Mountain range, with 16 peaks above 4500 metres above sea level. The highest of these reaches 6144 metres, making it one of the tallest mountains on Kerbin. The capital Nrida is located at the mouth of the Nrida river, which extends from the Minor Baskay Bay inland to the base of Mt. Belgor.

The east and west of Novenad are separated by the Karjina mountain range, which forms a rough horseshoe through the center of the country. To the east and northeast, large fertile plains and valleys on the coast and to the north of the Karjinas give way to the forested mid-alpine regions. Moving westward past the Karjinas, the western steppe occupies the southwestern end of the country, alongside Mt. Bofne.

===Climate ===
[[File:EcologicalZonesNovenad.png|thumb|Terrestrial ecozones of Novenad]]
Novenad has a temperate climate, due to its location between the 21st and 40th parallels in the southern hemisphere. In the Köppen climate classification, the Karjinian steppes fall mostly under the alpine tundra climate type, while the northern plains are temperate oceanic. The province of Nrida enjoys a wetter climate due to the effects of the Karjinas on atmospheric rivers. Annual mean temperatures in Novenad vary drastically between 22°C in the north to 0°C in the most southern areas. The Karjinas are notably colder, with temperatures at the peaks reaching recorded lows of -52°C, and the mean temperature on the steppes being 4°C.
===Biodiversity ===
Novenad can be divided into four ecoregions: the Karjinian Mixed Forests, the Karjinian Alpine Tundra, the Novenadian Coastal Forests, and the Northern Low Grasslands. Together, these ecoregions are home to 14 species of tree. The more humid coastal forests harbor a variety of broadleaf trees, which along with coastal winds leads to the tree line on the eastern slopes of the Karjinas to be approximately 800m lower. The northern grasslands are mostly arid and grassy valleys and hills, and are home to 312 species of plant, including oatgrass and Koeleria. To the west, the Karjinian Mixed Forests are predominately Veiidic Oak and various conifers, transitioning into hardier species such as ''Pinus Kalbius'' further north where the rain shadow of the Karjinas takes effect.

Novenad is also home to a variety of fauna, including at least 42 native mammalian species, 188 breeding bird species, over 120 fish species, and 22 reptile and amphibian species as of 2192. One of the more recognizable species is the Karjinian Penyan, a breed of capal notable for its powerful hindquarters and small hooves, allowing it to climb steep slopes and jump up to 16 metres. Of the 32 species of freshwater fish, Vodopa Trout are popular sport for high-mountain fly fishers.

===Urban Areas===
The urbanization of Novenad was slowed significantly by the series of wars and collapses preceding the formation of the nation. Since 2163, the restoration of national infrastructure allowed the expansion of major cities to continue.

As of 2200, the largest city by population in Novenad is the Nrida urban district, with over 435,000 residents. It spans across both sides of the Nrida river, and is the largest port in Novenad with approximately 2.5 million TEUs of container volume passing through annually. The second largest is Crkovna, another major city built around a port. Crkovna extends inland significantly, although the outskirts have been abandoned since before the Novenadian Revolution.
==Politics ==
===Government ===
Novenad is a hybrid representative democracy and demarchy, and a successor state to the New Kalban Republic. The government of Novenad consists of two major legislative bodies; the Directorial Assembly and the Citizen's Assembly. The Directorial Assembly consists of the prime minister, who is elected directly by the people, and who in turn appoints and oversees National Council members each overseeing a portfolio (Defense, Economics, Education, Foreign Relations, and Agriculture). The prime minister and special council members have a 5 year term, after which another election is called. Every year a referendum is called to give citizens a chance to replace members of council, including the prime minister. The Directorial Assembly proposes legislature and are responsible for steering national and foreign policy in the best interest of the populace. For international decisions, such as declaring war or joining alliances, a nationwide referendum is set up and voted upon by every citizen above the age of 20.

The Citizen's Assembly is a collection of smaller councils of approximately 100 citizens each, randomly selected from the eligible population with a turnover of six months. Each Citizen's Council is responsible for voting on legislature for a portfolio, drafted by the respective Special Council member. Citizen's Councils can also draft & pass legislature on their own as of 2195, as part of Alekandric Yavonov's efforts to transition away from representative democracy entirely.

Several watchdog groups perform routine investigations of politicians, keeping the public informed of their actions while maintaining strict confidentiality regarding the identities of members in order to prevent corruption.

===Foreign Relations===
Emerging from revolution and internal strife, Novenad's foreign policy has historically been one of non-interventionism, focusing on recovery and strengthening economic ties. This principle shaped a security policy of national defence, with the role of the military being strictly deterrence. Following rising tensions and economic pressure in the 2190s, Novenad joined the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth as a full member, opening the door to a larger role in the international stage. 
==Demographics==
===Languages===
The two official languages of Novenad are Kerbian and Karkow, spoken by 70% and 23% of the population respectively. Approximately 6.6% of Novenadians speak Tezan as their native language. Novenad is officially a trilingual country, and as such all three languages are taught throughout primary and secondary education.

Kerbian is a central Veiidic Kalbanian language, similiar to Karkow and Troak. Tezan has more northern roots, but is still part of the Kalban language family. Kerbian and Karkow differ mostly in pronunciation, forming a dialect continuum. In total, an estimated 44 languages are spoken across the country, between regional langauges, immigrant languages, and indigneous Karjinian dialects.

In 2170 the National Cultures Act was passed, recognizing Kerbian, Karkow, and Tezan as common languages for everyday use, as well as official languages for international and governmental contexts.
[[File:LanguagesNovenad.png|thumb|Languages of Novenad by region. Red: Karkow Blue: TezanTeal: Kerbian.]]

===Education===
Formal education in Novenad begins at age 6, followed by 5 years of primary school and 6 years of secondary education. Education is free and compulsory, and curriculum is set and reviewed every 10 years by a special committee formed from the House of Assembly. Following completion of secondary education, students have the option of entering either a tertiary trades program or a university program. The House of Assembly manages the number of openings available for each option based on the outlook of the job market that year. Tertiary education is largely funded by the government, and all inclusive (living expenses & tuition) scholarships are available to those who volunteer for military service.

Universities are generally focused on polytechnics rather than research, largely due to the relatively recent post-revolution industrialization. 34% of permanent residents have a tertiary degree, and 30% have a science related degree. Mining technology, mechanical engineering, materials science, resource management, and nuclear physics are the most popular degrees by percentage of graduates as of 2199.
===Religion===
The Church of Reformed Patrism and the Veiidic-Baskayn Patrist Church account for 33.2% and 24.7% of the population respectively. 40.4% of the population report no religious affiliation, a number that has been trending upwards since the economic boom in the 2170s. Religion has shaped Novenad significantly over the past 50 years, with the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist Church backing revolutionaries during the Novenadian Revolution.

==Military ==
[[File:Roundel.png|thumb|Logo of the Novenadian Armed Forces (2198)]]
The Novenadian Armed Forces consists of four military branches including the Novenad Air Defense Force, Novenad Defensive Navy, Novenad Continental Forces, and Reclamation Corps. Novenad utilizes universal conscription, meaning all physically and mentally capable citizens are legally obligated to serve between 8 and 14 months in the armed forces between ages 20 and 28. Following their service period, conscripts are placed in the Reclamation Corps until the age of 70. During this period, reservists can be reactivated under emergency circumstance such as natural disasters or a foreign threat.

Following basic training, conscripts are transferred to a specific unit who then trains the conscript in a specific role. Thus, over 75% of conscripts are specially trained for maximum efficacy. Following transfer to reserve service, soldiers are given a unit assignment consistent with their training should they need to be reactivated. It is punishable by law to refuse conscription, and those who do can serve up to two years in prison. All conscripts are paid for their service based on rank and training, and expenses such as food and housing during the service period are provided.

===Novenadian Air Defense Force (''Novasdubrasila'')===
The NADF was originally an element of the Novenadian Continental Force, due to the lack of infrastructure and equipment for air operations during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the reunification of Novenad and the NKR, the NADF became a separate entity. In modern doctrine the primary role of the NADF is to provide air support for other branches, as well as interception and interdiction. Air superiority is under the purview of the Strategic Operations Air Group.
===Novenadian Continental Force (''Novoruzasila'')===
The NCF is the primary deterrent force under Novenadian doctrine, and consists of several combined arms brigades and the Karjinian Shield defense network.
===Novenadian Naval Forces (''Novenapomorsnage'')===
Being a landlocked faction, Novenad did not maintain a naval force during the Novenadian Revolution. Following the disappearance of Varkrimeski and the fall of the NKR, the NNF was formed as a reorganization of the Kalban Navy composed of leftover ships from the NKR, mostly ''Heroj-class'' corvettes and 2 ''Junak-class'' destroyers. These were later replaced with 8 modern Skimer-class guided missile frigates, and 6 ''Svila-class'' submarines.

=== Reclamation Corps ===
The Reclamation Corps is the reserve force of Novenad. The Corps was created as a reserve force for the Novenad Armed Forces in 2164, but primarily operates as a public service organization. Members of the Corps are conscripts who have requested to be assigned to the force, and conscripts who have finished their service term and will remain inactive unless called upon for refresher training or in a state of emergency.

=== Novenad Intelligence Agency (Novobavestanagencia) ===
The Novobavestangencia (NOA) is Novenad's primary intelligence service. The NOA operates both inside and outside of Novenad to gather intelligence regarding threats to national security, as well as coordinating and performing covert actions. Following the formation of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth, the NOA was one of several intelligence agencies vying to expand into space. When that position was conceded to NAVSPECWAR, the NOA transferred resources and personnel from the developing NOA-PK to Subsection 2-1. The NOA cooperates closely with the respective intelligence agencies of the PVC, greatly increasing available intelligence and manpower.

=== Special Missions Command (''Komand specialne misia'') ===

* Specialne Terensk Operacie (STO) is a branch of Novenadian special forces dedicated to operations in high altitudes, difficult terrain, and cold or harsh environments. STO is tasked with special warfare, special reconnaissance, direct action, and securing facilities in the Karjinas in the event of an invasion by a hostile force.

==Economy==
===Taxation===
Taxation in Novenad is a three tiered progressive tax system.
===Transport===
Significantly investing in transport infrastructure in the formative years following the revolution, Novenad relies heavily on a national railway system built between 2165 and 2177. Additional routes and upgrades to existing railways have been made since to ensure safety and reliability. Multi-track infrastructure allows high-speed passenger rail and slower, heavier cargo trains to operate simultaneously without major scheduling issues, moving a very high volume of goods by rail.
[[File:NovenadRail.png|thumb|Novenad railway lines, operated and maintained by Novenad Rail]]
===Energy and Infrastructure===
As of 2194, Novenad produces 72.1% of its energy from nuclear power, followed by petroleum at 15.3%, renewable sources (10.7%), and natural gas (1.9%). Research into fusion is ongoing, but has mostly stagnated in favour of improving existing fission systems. The Balgred Dam provides most of the renewable power for the coastal cities, augmented by fields of wind turbines in the northern lowlands. National power consumption is low, a cultural holdover from the early 2100s when energy was scarce and intermittent.

Infrastructure was next to nonexistent during the period of post-SFRK collapse, and was mostly rebuilt during the 3 Year Programs prior to the regime shift that triggered the Novenadian Revolution. After 2164, the period of long-missed stability allowed infrastructure to be rebuilt to levels comparable to the rest of Kerbin.
===Trade===
Novenad maintains open trade relationships internationally, particularly with other member states of the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth and Fortis. Novenad has a free-trade agreement with Fortis, removing customs barriers and tariffs on the transfer of goods and services between the two countries. The Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth is a single market, with standards on the quality of exports member states are expected to maintain.
===Science===
Applied sciences is the most developed field of study in Novenad, with ongoing research in environmental sciences, materials science, and energy at the forefront. Theoretical sciences were largely ignored or oppressed under Horvat's regime, and have only recently began to flourish with the completion of the Special Particle Collider.
==History==

==== Prehistory ====
The territory of modern Novenad has been inhabited since the late Paleolithic era, with organized agriculture-based civilizations beginning to form near the Nrida river around 20,000 BCE. These civilizations formed some 2,300 city-states, and were in a state of perpetual war until they were conquered by Krog, the self-titled Lord Emperor of the Known Universe, during his expansion through Veiid. Under his rule, they formed the Veiidic Empire circa 2300 BCE. The Veiidic Empire remained the dominant power in the region for approximately 13 centuries, ruled by the various Krogs in the Krog family line.

==== Pre-NKR Period ====
The Veiidic Empire eventually collapsed circa 980 BCE after Krog the 16th got bored and disappeared into the Karjinas, leaving its constituents in disarray for several centuries, before they organized to form [[Kerbia]] and [[Mentonogro]]. Soon after being formed, the two states fell under the control of the [[SMC|Southern Mercantile Collective]] and [[Laythia]] and remained so until their collapse in 2020. Following this, Kerbia and Mentonogro formed the Kalban Union alongside [[Behian]] and [[Troakia|Troak]]. This shortlived republic collapsed in 2034, and in 2045 Kerbia and Mentonogro united to form the [[KSKM|Kalban States of Kerbia and Mentonogro]]. The KSKM lasted through major geopolitical pressures before succumbing to civil war following a coup in 2071. Arising from the instability was the SFRK, a totalitarian state that controlled much of the Kalbans from the late 2070s until its collapse in 2127 triggered one of the most destructive wars in the history of the Kalbans.

==== New Kalban Republic ====
In 2138, a military backed government was put in power and immediately began attempting to restore living conditions in what was now the [[New Kalban Republic]] to modern standards. This government, led by Cmarko Supcic and backed by his second-in-command Aleksander Varkrimeski, instituted two programs lasting from 2138 to 2148 to restore SFRK era facilities. The first program was very successful, bringing the NKR back to the level of a developing nation.

Between 2144 and 2153, Aleksander Varkrimeski descended into religious fanaticism. Varkrimeski believed that, contrary to the mainstream Patrist view of the Divine as the ancestors of the animals, the Divine were in fact mathematically perfect shapes devoid of the mortal flaws that the animals are defined by. Varkrimeski became convinced that the Divine had turned their backs on Kerbalkind for this grievous misinterpretation, causing the decades of instability that had plagued Veiid, and would not return to aid the Veiidi in the fight against the sea wyrm. As a charismatic leader promising salvation, Varkrimeski soon developed a cult of personality throughout the young, idealistic upper command of the NKR and became the leader of the newly formed New Patrist Movement (NPM).

With Varkrimeski's social influence soon eclipsing the leaders of the current Yellow-Red Coalition (YRC), tensions began to rise in the upper echelons of the NKR. Many other high ranking military officers became loyal to Varkrimeski, while Varkrimeski himself became dissatisfied with the YRC's dismissal of his interpretation of Patrism. In 2152, Varkrimeski began consolidating resources and loyal subordinates into his breakaway military, and convinced other officers who shared his religious views to back him. On the 24th of April in 2153, Varkrimeski stormed the facility acting as the base of operations for the NKR government and took control, declaring himself the Steward of the Throne for the Perfect Divine. Within 5 hours, all resisting elements of the NKR government had been crushed, and all members of the YRC were executed.

After taking power and installing the NPM as the ''de facto'' ruling party, Varkrimeski was faced with the fact that his influence didn’t extend very far past the military. His attempts to spread his religious views to the general population were faced with pushback, particularly from the Veiidic-Baskayan church. The YRC and their second Three-Year program were popular with the citizens of the NKR, and many people took to the streets in protest. According to anonymous sources close to Varkrimeski, it was around this time that he had a severe mental breakdown. Varkrimeski announced on national television that he would "purify the religous community of the disgusting infidels who still believe in traditionalism." In the following weeks, Varkrimeski sent his most loyal followers to collect anyone who spread traditionalist thought, and promised punishment to those who helped Traditionalists in any way.

==== Novenadian Revolution ====
{{Main|[[Novenadian Revolution]]}}
Religious persecution, the independent nature of NKR provinces, and socio-economic instability brought on by the sudden change of leadership led to several breakaway states forming. Among these, Novenad split from the NKR at the end of 2153 as a collection of provinces that had political autonomy prior to Varkrimeski's coup. These provinces were able to collect enough support from the elements of the NKR National Army disloyal to Varkrimeski to form their own small military. The Novenadian Revolution officially began Midsummer 2154, after Varkrimeski directed the NKR National Army to retake Novenadian territory. He flatly refused to declare war, which he stated he considered would be recognizing Novenad as a country.

The 1st National Army attacked through a southern pass, but very little fighting actually occurred and both sides stood down to maintain defensive lines after suffering significant losses. The majority of fighting occurred in the Karjinian Plateau, in near constant snow and harsh weather. The Karjinian Plateau is above the snow line for most of the year, getting 1-3 meters yearly. NKR forces were ill-equipped for cold-weather warfare, and expended significant resources in taking the plateau. In November of 2154, Varkrimeski diverted the 1st National Army to the Karjinian Plateau, with the exception of a minimum defensive line. These reinforcements as well as the rising snow line with the onset of summer strengthened morale for the NKR, allowing them to renew their attack and push Novenadian forces out of the Karjinas.

In a fit of hubris, Varkrimeski then turned his sights to the formerly neutral state of Belkagranic & Ladnovizen, and began an assault on their borders. Belkagranic & Ladnovizen had been preparing for an attack since declaring independence, and had close ties with the nation of Belka dating back several decades. This diplomatic relationship brought in significant Belkan support for the Novenadian forces, now united with Belkagranic & Ladnovizen. This support changed the nature of the civil war from asymmetric to symmetric, increasingly in favour of Novenad.

By June of 2155, the 2nd NKR National Army had been backed up to Belgrad, and had achieved air superiority over the NKR. Airstrikes on military hubs were near constant, and the 1st National Army had surrendered. On the 27th of Midsummer, Aleksander Varkrimeski disappeared. Suddenly without leadership or direction, the young and inexperienced command structure collapsed and the 2nd National Army surrendered to Novenadian forces. The civilian population welcomed the end of the war and liberation from the tyranny of Varkrimeski's fanaticism, and mass lynchings of NKR officials took place across the country. Lucija Berislav, a major leader of Novenadian forces during the revolution, took office and proclaimed the day a national holiday, promising a peaceful transition to a democracy as soon as political violence subsided.

==== Formation of Novenad ====
Following the Novenadian victory and unification of the former NKR, the Provisional Government of Novenad was put in place and began working to stabilize the nation, restore essential services, and establish a new democratic government. A major action during this time was the establishment of the [[National Strategic Enterprise Fund]], designed to stimulate industries like defense, sustainable natural resource extraction, maritime, and energy. The NSEF directly led to the creation of companies like [[DeepBlue]], [[Baskay Petroleum]], and [[Ratoskal]]. Other actions taken include establishment of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Zone, pioneered by [[Lucija Berislav]]. This agreement was intended to open trade channels with the historically supportive, peaceful, and much richer nation. The Provisional Government also initiated the [[National Railways]] project, creating thousands of jobs and stimulating the construction industry. On the symbolic side, the National Identity Referendum was started in July 2157 to let the citizens of the NKR propose and decide on a new name and flag for the country. After two and a half years, the name Novenad was chosen along with the current flag. A week later in 2159, The Provisional Government of Novenad was dissolved in favour of the permanent Government of Novenad, and the first elections and Citizen's Assemblies were held. Under the newly implemented judicial system, many of Aleksander Varkrimeski's senior officials were found guilty of crimes against Kerbalkind, and sentenced to death.

==== Karjina Reclamation Period ====
In 2160, the People’s Party was elected to government under Lucijia Berislav on a platform of continuing the Provisional Government’s efforts to help the country recover from the revolution. Their flagship initiative introduced the Reclamation Corps, a force combining demobilized soldiers and unemployed workers charged with rebuilding infrastructure, replanting forests, and assisting with law enforcement and other community concerns. The Reclamation Corps remains active as of 2198 as a volunteer/military reserve, sustained largely through conscription. It is credited as the beginning of the strong Novenadian civic service culture.

4 years later, in 2164, Novenad achieved its first diplomatic breakthrough via the signing of the Fortis-Novenad Free Trade Agreement, which reduced trade barriers and ceded former NKR territory that had been diplomatically claimed by Fortis during the Varkrimeski regime. The agreement included a clause promising that, once national recovery efforts were completed, Novenad would assist Fortis in stabilizing the Minor Baskay region. This agreement marked Novenad’s return to international diplomacy as well as positioning it as a cooperative presence in Veiid. A year later in 2165, Lucijia Berislav won a landslide election, securing her position as Prime Minister for her second and final term. In response to growing cultural tensions, Berislav's government introduced the National Cultures Act to recognize Tezan as an national language during her second term, and providing strict terms for including future languages.

==== Contemporary Period (2170-Present) ====
The 2170s saw a marked economic expansion, driven mostly by the stability of the new democratic institutions. Trade with Fortis and other neighbors allowed industry to flourish, crime rates saw a dramatic decline, and quality of life surpassed pre-revolution levels. This period, nicknamed the Soaring '70s, culminated in a housing bubble in coastal cities where rapid urbanization led domestic and international investment companies to begin purchasing real estate ''en masse.'' When the bubble burst in 2187, the government quickly stepped in with the Housing Stability act, placing strict limits on foreign ownership and converting unsold "Ghost district" apartments into public housing stock. Other social safety nets were also implemented to cushion households in future fiscal crises.

This economic crisis, along with fears of foreign interference in the Minor Baskay, pushed Novenad to join the [[Veiidic Commonwealth]]. Novenad moved to become a formal member in 2192, decided by public referendum with 77.3% for joining the Commonwealth.

In 2197, a group of Neo-Varkrimeskist religious extremists hiding in mines in the Karjinas began a series of terrorist attacks, killing 438 and wounding 87. The group attacked a government facility in [[Nrida]], a high school in Novi Postro, and a courthouse in Balgred before being captured by the 3rd Special Terrain Company. Special Forces. The leader, Ryik Lavesh Bolshavak, was executed by lethal injection on November 12th, 2198, following public calls for the death penalty. This marked the first use of capital punishment since the Revolution.

People's Revolutionary Party leader [[Ana Berislav]] was elected to office in 2196, after a campaign promising to lead Novenad into the new century as an essential member of the Commonwealth, and modernize the countries aging infrastructure. She was reelected for a second term in 2201.

Following the illegal killing of Novenadian citizens during the [[Invasion of Nuriyamiq|2201 Stahl Sieg invasion of Nuriyamiq]], a special Citizen's Assembly (Assembly D334) was formed to vote on whether to send military support to Nuriyamiq. Following deliberations, Assembly D334 passed a conclusion directing the 1st Mechanized Battalion and several squadrons of Z-55s. Following the poor performance of these units, the Z-55 and KX-1 Crusader III were struck from active service in favour of more modern equipment. Public opinion on the Novenadian involvement soured, and a notable shift back towards non-interventionism began to take hold.

In 2202, the transfer of the former NKR Redevelopment Zone from Fortis to Novenad officially begun. Reintegration is still underway as of 2206.

The '''''Sentinel'''''-Class Heavy Corvette is a unique design among the ranks of the AASC, including 2 large "wings" on either side of the main hull amidships, as most of the space in the main body is taken up by fuel, Command-and-Control (C2) facilities including the [[wikipedia:Combat_information_center|Combat Information Center]] (CIC) and secondary compartments. These wings serve as crew quarters and extra storage space for the crew during long duration deployments, such as escort duties.

The most notable design feature of the '''''Sentinel'''''-Class is the partial twin-boom at the bow of the ship, connected by structural elements containing secondary systems, but contains mostly non-essential supplies, as well as the bottom section of the Mark I Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.

The top boom of the bow contains the upper and sections of the lower barrel and assembly of the Mark I MAC, along with the various capacitors and electronic equipment required for the function for the MAC. The lower boom of the bow contains various electronic support equipment, as well as sensors.

== Development ==
With the introduction and success of the '''''[[Raven Class Heavy Frigate|Raven]]'''''-Class Heavy Frigate by Northwind Aerospace, the [[Atreus Aerospace Command]] (AASC) began looking for a complimentary frigate for the Raven-Class as a stop-gap for the numerous, albeit spread out Heavy Frigates, primarily in the protection against other Corvettes such as the '''''Vega''''' and '''''Ketan''''' Classes of Corvettes. The new Corvette would also be responsible for defending carriers and other capital ships in the AASC from hostile bombers and fighters, assisting as well as achieving Void Superiority alongside the AASC's own fighter craft.

Announcing their availability for bids for a new Corvette in 2192, the AASC received multiple offers from Northwind and other fledgling Aerospace companies, looking to get their foot in the door for larger AASC contracts in the future. However, many of the designs did not meet the requirements set out by the AASC, or were too expensive and impractical for mass production.

Submitting their design in early 2193, Northwind built the majority of their design on a multi-role format, with various compartments being able to achieve different mission objectives. However, quickly after submitting their bid, the AASC partially redesigned the Sentinel, stripping most of the modular aspects, and focusing on the optional capacity for a Marine Fireteam if required.

== Service History ==
Upon their completion and commissioning in 2194, the Corvettes were received with mixed emotions, with many crews praising the extra storage space, while complaining about the limited range, cramped engineering spaces, and small living compartments.

Despite their complaints, the AASC failed to address any of these issues, due to that these issues were a fact of the design, and part of the nature of a Corvette design.

== Design ==
As one of the first Black-Water warships designed for the Atreus Aerospace Command (AASC) following the [[Belkan Civil War]], the '''''Raven''''' class Heavy Frigate was originally meant to be classified as a Destroyer. However, with contracts for Destroyers being already awarded to Odyssey Aerospace, Northwind Aerospace reapplied for a contract under the Multi-Mission Frigate program with very little modification to the original design, contributing for its highly abnormal size and tonnage for a Frigate. However, desperate for ships to fill the holes in doctrine, the AASC accepted the Raven at its massive size, primarily considering its high thrust-to-weight ratio and small width and height.

Compared to other ships in the AASC's fleet, the '''''Raven''''' class has many comforts for its smaller, but still numerous crew. This includes larger living areas, wider bulkheads, and other accommodations not found on other ships in the fleet.

== Development ==
Following the end of the Belkan Civil War, the newly formed AASC immediately began looking for ships to rapidly fill its ranks as they began looking outwards into the Kerbol System. With contracts already awarded for many other ship classes, Northwind, desperate to secure their involvement with the new branch, Northwind submitted a design study recently carried out for a Destroyer into the Multi-Mission Frigate (MMF) program for the AASC, which was awarded in 2190.

Due to the Atreian Government's efforts in fighting the Post-War recession, the original contract from the AASC to Northwind was changed from just five hulls to ten, and later twelve to promote the creation of jobs in AASC Shipyards.

Concerns were raised in the Admiralty regarding the size of a "Heavy Frigate" (which was meant as a Heavy Destroyer originally.) but due to the lack of a better option, the Admiralty reluctantly agreed to go along with the ship despite their discontent with it.

=== Variants ===

==== ''Vertigo''-Class Frigate ====
With the Admiralty happy with their decision regarding the '''''Raven''''' Class, the AASC began experimenting in niche fields of Black-Water warfare, including sensor warfare, as well as complex maneuvers being developed by the AASC's Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWAR). Eager to test their new advances, the AASC once again offered a contract for two specialty variants of the Raven.

Happy to oblige, Northwind was awarded a contract for the two new frigates ''AASC Vertigo'' (FFG-11) and ''AASC Smoke and Mirrors'' (FFG-12), with them being laid down in 2193 and commissioned in 2194.

Very little is known regarding the members of the '''''Vertigo'''''-Class, with a small amount of pictures being released of both in and around port during and after their commissioning, online OSINT users have been able to distinguish a partial modification of the hull amidships, as well as additional sensors on the exterior of the hull.
== Service History ==
With the constructed hulls being evenly split between the 1st and 2nd Fleets, the '''''Raven'''''-Class was received very well with their crews, being most liked for their spacious interiors, responsive controls, and modern sensor suites.

Swordsman Class Battleship

The '''''Swordsman'''''-Class Missile Battleship is a Black-Water Missile Battleship in use with the [[Atreus Aerospace Command]], [[Illishia]], and the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]].{{Craft|name=Swordsman Class|full_name=Swordsman Class Missile Battleship|type=Missile Battleship|origin=[[Confederacy of Atreus]]|imagedesc=AASC Swordsman during sea trials. c. 2199|design_start=2194|design_end=2196|prod_start=2198|prod_end=2199|designer=[[Odyssey Aerospace Astronautical Design Office]]|cost=212,637|built=2|serv_end=N/A|serv_start=2199|operators=[[Confederacy of Atreus]]

}}|image=Screenshot (1138).png}}{{Quote|"Fighting fair is fighting to lose, I don't like to lose."|cite=-Capt. Stefan Kozlov, Commanding Officer, AASC Swordsman (BB-01)}}

== Design ==
The '''''Swordsman'''''-Class Missile Battleship is similar in design to the '''''[[Hartfordia II Class Heavy Cruiser|Hartfordia II]]'''''-Class Heavy Cruiser, with the bow fitting the Mark IV Magnetic Accelerator Cannon as the primary kinetic weapon as a backup to the ships primary weapons, its missiles. In addition to its massive missile reserves, the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class also serves as a Flagship if needed (Mainly when operating without a '''''Trinity''''' or '''''Retribution'''''-Class in a group.)

=== Internal Structure ===
As a result of its shared development with the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class, both ships share a very similar internal structure, with fuel tanks and other systems acting as "Belt" armor behind the external ablative armor similar to Blue-Water battleships. Behind the external and belt armor, the Combat Information Center (CIC) is protected by a "Citadel" similar to the '''''Hartfordia II''''' in which more fuel tanks, structural elements, and reinforced armor panels to ensure the survival of her officers and crew above all else.

=== Amenities ===
The '''''Swordsman'''''-Class is renown for its quality of life features, high compared to the rest of the AASC's fleet, and luxurious compared to ships of other navies. Containing a small gym with cardio and strength training equipment to maintain muscle mass and endurance on long deployments.

Additionality to her public amenities for the crew, the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class also has the most bathrooms of the AASC as of 2200, with exception for AASC ''Retribution'' and AASC ''Relentless.'' The '''''Swordsman'''''-Class 8 Bathrooms overall (referred to as "Heads"), 2 reserved for officers and 1 head reserved for Senior Non-Commissioned Officers (SNCOs) she has 5 heads for the remaining 35 enlisted personnel. Every 7 enlisted personnel have their own head. These factors combined with the spacious living arrangements gave the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class the nickname of the "Armored Hotel."

=== Engineering Facilities ===
Due to her massive size, the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class has a large amount of internal volume dedicated to Damage Control (DC) facilities, and many more spaces for maintenance of missiles, sensors, propulsion, and any other facet of operations in space that need to be fixed.

Some of these facilities include 2 general engineering workshops, as well as 3 DC Lockers mounted near and along the spine of the vessel, providing rapid access to necessary damage control equipment, as well as redundancy in case of destruction of one or more lockers.

The distinct engine mounts at the rear of the vessel also act in support of the engineers, providing access to the internal mechanisms for the engines without requiring extra-vehicle activity (EVA) to fix any issues involving propulsion.

=== Weapons Systems ===
Due to her design as a Missile Battleship, the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class is built around employing Heavy Anti-Ship missiles such as the [[GM-03G Tigerclaw|GM-03G "Tigerclaw"]] while the AASC developed its own Anti-Ship weapons. The Heavy Anti-Ship missiles are mounted in two banks, with one mounted on the ventral bow under the Mark IV Heavy MAC containing 6 missiles, and the remaining 6 missiles mounted dorsally amidships.

36 Medium Missile Cells are also mounted on the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class, with 8 of them being mounted dorsally just in front of the Heavy Anti-Ship missile cells, with12 other cells mounted ventrally directly under. The majority of the medium missile compliment are mounted in two rows ventrally amidships, with 11 missile cells in two rows for a total of 22 cells, bringing the total to 40.

=== Sensors and Self-Defense Systems ===
Much of the sensor suite and Self-Defense systems were taken from the '''''Trinity'''''-Class Heavy Carrier, including the M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner with Data-link capabilities, typical for the majority of AASC vessels. Similar to ships of her size, Space Defense Operations are overseen by the Space Defense Officer (SDO) ranking Lieutenant (O-3) but is carried out and executed by the [[GM-04]] "Fury" Space Defense Missile, and [[AN/SLX-15 "Harpy"]] Automatic Missile Identification and Interception System (AMIIS).

== Development ==

=== Initial Development ===
Originally based off of the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class Heavy Cruiser, both the '''''Swordsman''''' and '''''Hartfordia II''''' were designed around the same time by Odyssey Aerospace. Originally, both ships started under the Next Generation Battle Line Ship (NGBLS) program as the same vessel as the future of the AASC's Non-Carrier Capital ship.

=== AASC Redesign ===
Eager to arm the [[Atreus Aerospace Command]] with a Battlecruiser-sized capital ship to accompany the '''''[[Trinity Class Heavy Carrier|Trinity]]''''' and '''''[[Retribution Class Fleet Carrier|Retribution]]'''''-Class Carriers while being able to engage hostile Second and Third Echelon assets, Odyssey offered the product of the NGBLS program to the AASC in 2195. The primary selling point that Odyssey offered to the AASC was mainly to engage ships in the place of carriers, such as the ''Sirius''-Class and Tekkian Capital ships without risking carrier aircraft if the ship was damaged or destroyed.

At the time, lacking a heavy orbital combatant, the AASC was interested in the design originally for both its Capital Ship contract, and its still pending Heavy Cruiser contract. However, due to different needs from the AASC, Odyssey's design was divided into two separate classes, one focused on being versatile to support both Task Forces and Task Units effectively with the '''''Hartfordia II''''' emerging as the AASC's new Heavy Cruiser. While the other was focused on Capital-on-Capital combat and as a Flagship, with the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class entering service as the AASC's first class of Missile Battleship.

=== Contract Awardment and Serial Production ===
After the redesign in 2195, Odyssey won both the Heavy Cruiser contract for the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class and the Capital Ship contract for the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class. Replacing the idea of 6 NGBLS ships, the AASC ordered four '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class Heavy Cruisers and two '''''Swordsman'''''-Class Battleships in 2198. However, due to complications in securing shipyard space at [[New Comberth]], the construction of the two '''''Swordsman'''''-Class Battleships were delayed, allowing the four '''''Hartfordia II''''' Heavy Cruisers to be built first. Following the completion of all four Heavy Cruisers in late 2197, the two Battleships, named ''Swordsman'' and ''Fatal Spell'' were laid down in January of 2198 and were fully commissioned in December of 2199, entering the fleet officially soon after.

== Service History ==

=== Initial Service ===
Despite its large, sluggish hull during maneuvers, the '''''Swordsman'''''-Class was instantly loved by her crews, with its expansive Command and Control (C2) suites, Missile banks, and overall quality of life features. Being stationed on board of a Swordsman hull is considered a great honor in the AASC's ranks, and is one of the most coveted assignments personnel can be assigned to.

However, it was reported that additional to her slow responsiveness in turning and other maneuvers, the '''''Swordsman'''''-class has a relatively low acceleration compared to ships such as the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class at around 1.2 Thrust-to-Weight ratio (TWR) fully loaded, with the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class having around a 2+ TWR. However, this was to be expected due to her being over 500 tons fully loaded.

== Design ==
Designed with cost-effectiveness and multi-mission capability, the ''Siren Class'' is a ship focused on practicality, built around its hangar on the ventral side of the vessel, as well as its Mark III Magnetic Accelerator Cannon which runs along the centerline of the ship, above the hangar.

Doctrinally, the ''Siren'' serves as the Flagship for escort formations, as well as patrols made up of smaller vessels such as Destroyers, Frigates, or Corvettes. Additionally, due to its nature as an Escort Carrier, the ''Siren'' provides these formations with a sizable fighter compliment as defense against other void-craft, while also being able to launch offensive strikes against other ships.

== Development ==
With the contract for a new light/escort carrier being announced after the end of the [[Belkan Civil War]], the ''Siren Class'' was the earliest carrier contract given by the [[Atreus Aerospace Command]] (AASC) with the contract being awarded to the [[Odyssey Aerospace Design Office]] (OADO) in Mid-2190 as Odyssey began securing contracts for various AASC vessels.

However, the OADO lacked the experience in designing Black-water vessels that other nation's design offices possessed, lending to the Siren's "unique" shape and appearance.

With thought in mind that the ''Siren'' was to be an escort carrier, she was designed originally with a lack of high thrust-to-weight ratio, but makes up for this with a larger compliment of interceptor missile mounts, comparable to a cruiser of a similar size. This is not out of the ordinary however, as the original hull for the ''Siren'' was made in a design study with OADO as a light/heavy cruiser concept.

== Service History ==
Upon receiving the ''Siren''s, they were received with mixed opinions. Some crew's preferred the design of the ship, but many complained about the cramped quarters due to the heightened crew requirements compared to other ships in the AASC.

However, despite the controversial reception, upon the first "cycles" of the new carriers, crews began to report more positively as they settled into their new vessels.

== Design ==
The '''''Trinity'''''-Class Heavy Carrier is a staple of the Atreus Aerospace Command (AASC), being highly versatile and flexible in both role and mission.

The Trinity-Class is defined by her long, continuous shape, with a prominent bow containing eight missile cells as well as her single Mark IV Heavy Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, which runs a portion of the ship.

The majority of the Trinity's internal space is taken up by various flight facilities, including hangar bay doors and docking areas for small fighters, which are very tightly packed inside of her hull.

Similar to Odyssey's future project in the '''''Hartfordia II'''''-Class Heavy Cruiser, the Trinity uses a massive amount of engines to achieve a Thrust-to-Weight ration unseen outside of the AASC, giving the Trinity maneuverability similar to a light cruiser rather than a heavy carrier.

== Development ==
With the majority of Sub-capital contracts and hulls completed and delivered to the AASC by 2195, the AASC began looking to build a new Heavy Carrier/Fleet Carrier to serve as the largest of their ships and Flagships for their Admirals.

With the '''''[[Siren Class Escort Carrier|Siren]]'''''-Class Escort Carrier entering service shortly after initial requirements went out for the Next Generation Flagship Program (NGFS), the AASC Navy Warfare Development Command (NAVWARDEV) quickly outlined flaws in focusing on a single Heavy Carrier hull, and decided to split the NGFS Program into a Next Generation Heavy Carrier (NGCV) and Next Generation Fleet Carrier (NGCVB) Programs, with the NGCVB program leading to the development of the '''''[[Retribution Class Fleet Carrier|Retribution]]'''''-Class Fleet Carrier.

Awarding the contract for the NGCV to Odyssey Aerospace Astronautical Design Office, the Trinity Class was one of the first ships to be fitted with the still experimental Mark IV Heavy Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.

However, concerns were raised due to the relatively limited hangar space and logistical capacity offered by a Fleet Carrier on the smaller side. However, with the adoption of the '''''Retribution'''''-Class, these concerns were addressed by the size of the Fleet Carrier.

=== Flight Deck ===
The Hangar of the '''''Trinity'''''-Class is multi-layered, being unique in that aspect. The hangar bay doors are located at the bottom of the hull of the carrier, being split in two areas by a partition in the middle making flight operations highly vertical, being performed by deck crews using EVA "Jetpacks" to maneuver quickly.

However, this makes flight operations impossible while under any movement impossible, also exposing Trinity-Class Carriers to attacks while conducting operations as making any evasive maneuvers would bring serious injury or death to any deck crew operating using EVA packs as the ship would rapidly accelerate compared to them, crushing them against the hull and high speeds.

=== Sensors and Self-Defense Systems ===
The Sensors mounted on the '''''Trinity'''''-Class remain classified, however it is known it carries various Radar sensors including the M4435 Narrow-Band Scanner providing basic search and track capabilities. The M4435 is also known to be data-linked to other AASC ships, providing a redundant network of sensors connected to each other amongst ships in her escort fleet.

The '''''Trinity'''''-Class is known to use the GM-04 "Fury" Space Defense Missile as its primary interceptor, but is in the early stages of being phased out of AASC service in favor for domestic and cost-efficient options. Interception is carried out by her Space Defense Officer (SDO) ranking Lieutenant (O-3), as well as her Automated Interception System and Missile ID System, identifying and engaging enemy Anti-Ship missiles as needed.

=== Crew Accommodations ===
Accommodations on the '''''Trinity'''''-Class are notoriously cramped and small, even for Officers, as the majority of space is taken up my spacecraft storage and engineering/fuel than space for crew. However, the "cramped" accommodations are closer to bunks on [[Atreian Navy]] vessels, rather than other AASC vessels, known for their rather spacious rooms and bedding, mainly for crew morale on long deployments.

== Service History ==

=== Crew Reports ===
Entering service in early 2196, the Trinity was not received well amongst her crews, primarily due to the cramped interior, cramped hangar, tiny engineering space, and overall lack of personal space as well as further "creature comforts" found on other vessels.

Almost immediately after entering service from the shipyards above [[New Comberth]], Her officers and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers reported their concerns with the design, and current crew compliment carried, stating more or less that she carried too many crew and to maintain effectiveness the compliment must be lowered.

Despite the various flaws, being assigned to a '''''Trinity'''''-Class was considered a high honor amongst crews throughout the AASC, being able to operate and serve amongst one of four Capital-Class Carriers in service with the AASC showed a high devotion and perseverance. Especially in regards of operating on a Trinity.

=== Flight Operations ===
Flight operations on '''''Trinity'''''-Classes were reported on favorably throughout her service life, with the vertical nature of the hangar and the supply of EVA packs made for a very quick launch and recovery of spacecraft, with one bay opening commonly used for recovery of spacecraft, while the other was used for launching while conducting 24/7 Combat Air Patrol (CAP) missions.

The HS-4 is a standard issue assault rifle developed by [[NPO]] and used primarily by the Novenadian Armed Forces. The rifle was designed to be as rugged as possible while reducing weight, complexity, and achieving an accuracy at least 50% higher than the previous HS-3, all while being versatile enough to be issued to infantry, navy, and special forces personnel.

== Design ==
Using an ambitious caseless flechette ammunition, the HS-4 managed to achieve all of the design objectives set by the NAF. A significant portion of funding went into developing clean, high efficiency propellant to reduce residue and increase the reliability of the weapon. Prototyping lasted longer than planned, leading to the gun being delivered 4 years late and overbudget. Despite this, the HS-4 has proven to be a capable and versatile design, with several variants including a marksman's rifle featuring enhanced optics, an extended barrel, gyroscopic stabilization, and optional guided ammunition.

== Ammunition ==
The 7.62x54mm caseless flechette ammunition used by the HS-4 weighs approximately 1/4th as much as comparable ammunition, and is capable of piercing heavy body armour at 900 metres. Some attempts were made at serious anti-armour capabilities, but eventually discarded in favour of the more expensive but practical MANPAT systems also in development.

Ridelo Wikel was an Atreian political scientist, soldier, poet, and veteran of both the Atreian Civil War and Novenadian Revolution. Throughout his life, Wikel wrote prolifically on politics and the nature of war, publishing 5 books during his life with another published posthumously. Wikel's writings on Veiidic politics and Unified Veiid provided the framework around which the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth was built, and he is widely lauded as the architect of modern Veiid.

== Early life ==
Wikel was born in 2118 at St. Vaudrel's Hospital in Kad, Belka, and lived there until age 21 when he moved to Tolburg to attend school and work. Wikel worked at NAS Tolburg as a civilian contractor for several years until he finished his philosophy degree. Wikel briefly considered law, but lacked the money. After the death of his father, Wikel returned home to support his mother and run his father's general store.

At age 27 Wikel joined the Veiidic-Baskayan Patrist church, where he met Kallia Vitie. The two began dating, and got married a year later. Wikel was initially tentative to join the church despite being raised as a patrist, but embraced the religion quickly. Patrism and associated themes show up often in Wikel's works, and played a significant role in his formulation of [[Napredak]].

Wikel stayed informed on Veiidic politics throughout his twenties and early thirties, and joined the Novenadian 3rd National Army following the kalbanization of the NKR and the beginning of the Novenadian Revolution.

== Military service ==
Wikel enlisted in the 3rd National Army as a foreign volunteer, and served in the Karjinas throughout his service. His experiences of the war cemented his belief that a united Veiid would be the only way forward for the continent. During his time in the Karjinas, Wikel wrote several poems about the environment and his unit, and began writing his first book.

Quickly promoted to Lieutenant, Wikel developed a deep sense of kinship with Novenadians, seeing them as an example of the mettle required for his dream of a unified Veiid to be achieved. In January of 2156, he received news that the Atreian Civil War had broken out, and promptly returned to Tolburg to enlist with the Atreian Army.

Wikel continued fighting for another 14 years, returning home periodically to spend time with his family. The Atreian Civil War formed the backdrop for the development of his Napredak theory, and he wrote 5 additional books on varying topics during this time. Wikel came to the conclusion that the incessant war in Veiid over the past centuries was because there was no common goal to work towards. This idea became the pillar of his political theories.

In 2170, Wikel was diagnosed with liver cancer, and returned to Kad to spend his remaining years with his family.

== Death ==
Wikel died on Midsummer 19th, 2172, at St. Vaudrel's Hospital in his hometown of Kad, Atreus. His wife published a collection of poems authored by the two of them a year later.

== Political writings ==
Ridelo Wikel is best known for his Napredak theory, which states that the Veiidic infighting commonplace in the preceding centuries was due to a lack of a common struggle. Wikel suggests to unify Veiid, the populace must dedicate itself to non-stop progress. This progress can take any form, be it increasing quality of life, technological advancement, megaprojects, or expansion into the solar system.

Wikel states in his second book, War in Veiid, that Napredak theory is applicable in Veiid because patrist ideals emphasize progress and duty as core values. Patrism has held such sway over Veiid that these values have become deeply ingrained in Veiidic culture. Thus, Wikel argues, when unable to work towards common progress, the populace of Veiid falls into an endless cycle of infighting. The conclusion that Wikel comes to with Napredak theory is that to prevent the cycle from continuing, Veiid must have a perpetual goal to work towards.

In his second book, War in Veiid, Wikel credits the genesis of Napredak theory to his study of Patrism and how religious norms influence even the non-religious. He also aknowledges the similarities to Ascensionism in that they both aim for progress, but states{{Quote|While ascensionism intends to bring about progress for the sake of material gain, Napredak theory seeks to attain progress lest we fall again into that red fog.|cite=Ridelo Wikel}}

== Legacy ==
Ridelo Wikel is often credited as the largest contributer to modern Veiid, as he provided the means through which a unified Veiid is possible. Modern Veiidic politics is largely shaped by the core idea constant progress. In 2193, in honor of what would be his 75th birthday, the National Museum of Novenad introduced a permanent exhibit about his life and writings.
