| '''Spirevo''', officially the '''Federated Constitutional Monarchy of Spirevo''', also called "Ensiprei" and "Spireva", is a country in eastern Internatia, located in between the Silent Sea and Spirevan Sea and bordered by Oalia, Kwonia and Pebbleland. It has 30 States as of 2013.
| |
| | |
| Spirevo is a prosperous country formed in 1278, mainly because of its tourism industry, which services a multitude of visitors from Internatia and beyond annually, and also because of its chief exports; iron and diamond, the latter is of which Spirevo is the largest exporter of in Internatia. Also, it is a leading technological force in the world; many technological and medicinal advances are developed in Spirevo. Spirevo has the 7th highest GDP per capita in the world and a high standard of life, low crime rate and a good tourism industry. Also, the people of Spirevo have the 3rd highest human life expectancy in all of Internatia - 82 years at birth.

| The nomadic Cylari tribe from what is now known as modern day Pebbleland and settled down on what is now the Plateau of Cylari, and set up permanent residence in the high mountainous south of what is now modern Spirevo. As the tribe grew, so did the amount of land used, until the borders became and are still now the borders of Spirevo today. After being invaded by the Kalvon Empire in 1401, Spirevo was plunged into a state of plague and despair, with the Pordunamic Plague wiping out more than 6/17 of the population. When it was released from the clutches of the Empire, the remaining citizens began to rebuild the dark and desolate land and dedicated time to science and technology, forming the basis of Spirevo's main exports and advances today.
| |
| | |
| Spirevo was also a country which had a large empire outside of Internatia. Today, only 11 territories remain, but before there was about 52 territories and countries under its rule, most prominently in the neighboring continent of Magvel. 3 of these territories, namely Fort Martalegs, Yellowstone and Baltandorm, and Xaivis were granted statehood in 2013.
| |
| | |
| ===20th century===
| |
| Spirevo declared war on Kalvonia during the Great War, and supplied many soldiers to help neighboring Alisoa (now part of Kwonia and Pebbleland) and its allies during the war. The Spirevan Artillery Company, established at the time, named "Yippee Kiyay Motherf" was essential in winning the war, and still operates today.
| |
| | |
| In 1954, Spirevo shut its borders to all other countries and remained secretive, causing great suspicion with the other nations of Internatia. This was due to the Prime Minister at that time, Ciaran Lansky, abusing his powers and gradually turning into dictator. He ruled with an iron fist and Spirevo was soon reduced to its knees, leading to one of the worst cases of Hyperinflation in Internatia. After 6 years, a general protest saw his demise as he was arrested and excecuted v.i.a Guillotine a day later. The death penalty has been since banned.
| |
| | |
| Given its relative isolation, Spirevo has existed outside the mainstream of Internatian history, with few ties to countries other than Oalia, Kownia, Pebbleland and Sibinia. In recent times, however, its thriving tourist industry along with developments in transport and technology have removed the country from its isolation.
| |
| | |
| Recently Spirevo has changed from a Republic to a Federated Constitutional Moncarhy to celebrate the Royal Weddings between [[Kosma]] and [[Tikata]]
| |
| | |
| In February 2013, a zombie problem attacked the city of Sansails. After the city had been quarantined, the country's forces proceeded to beat the undead. It is currently unkown how this happened, but Sansails is in ruins, and is currently rebuilding. The Capital City has since then, been moved to Seigeslinde in the state of Eskavaliera.
| |
| | |
| In March 2013, Suonic became the 3rd official language of Spirevo after Spirevan and English. Also, 3 of Spirevo's outer colonies in the neighboring continent: Xaivis, Fort Martalegs and Yellowstone & Baltandorm, in Magvel, were officially made states, increasing the states from 27 to 30. Before this, Paradamasa was the last state to become part of Spirevo.

| ==Geography==

| {{States of Spirevo}}
| |
| | |
| == Climate ==
| |
| | |
| Spirevo enjoys a generally temperate climate, experiencing warm summers and mild winters. However, in recent years, summers have gotten hotter and winters more snowy and colder, leading to many problems. The coldest regions are in the mountains, which stay snow-capped all year round. The hottest region is the south, especially in the island state of Nitea, which has become a large tourist resort.
| |
| | |
| ===Flora and Fauna===
| |
| | |
| The national tree of the country is the Cylari Spire, which grows in the Miroris Mountain Range. The wood is resistant to burning and extremely durable, as well as being relatively common. The tree is the tallest species on the planet and there are times when they have outgrown skyscrapers. One tree would be enough to supply Spirevo's industrial and commercial needs for 1 month. The highest tree recorded was Old Cuaqori, which was at 480 ft tall. It was brought down when an earthquake struck the region, and supplied Spirevo with enough wood to last 2 years. For every tree cut down, 3 more are planted.
| |
| Also exclusive to the country is the Azure Butterfly, which is actually a flower. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and sweet smelling flowers in the world, and can live without water or nutrition for 3 months. It is uncommon and a protected species.
| |
| | |
| The Cylari Eagle is the national bird of the country and is endemic to the heavily forested areas of the Miroris Mountain range. It is an endangered species and as few as 45 are left in the wild.
| |
| The Zilais Whale is one of the rarest whales in the world, appearing globally but they always dock at the beautiful reefs of the Spirevan Sea.
| |
| | |
| ===Languages===
| |
| The historic and official language is [[Spirevan]], an Arrisat Language that originated from the original Cylaric of which was spoken by the tribe in the north. Spirevan is known roughly by 95% of the population and is the standard for every day life and media, although English is also widely used and known.
| |
| | |
| Because of immigration, historical links, and close geographic proximity, Sibinian is also widely spoken. Pecari is also a language spoken in Spirevo, by roughly 4.3% of the population. The Pecari language is almost exclusive to the southern region of the State of Sleft, where the Kingdom of Pecaria had once stood, now part of modern day Spirevo when its monarchs were exiled and the people voted to join the Republic. Pecari is similar to Spirevan, and is generally understood by most residents.
| |
| | |
| Suonic, another language that is unintelligable with Spirevan, is also known by about 98% of the public as a 3rd language after Spirevan and English, as it is widely used and taught. 2% of the public are native speakers.

| ===Religion===
| |
| At 6% of the population, Christianity is the most followed religion, concentrated in the state of Amisamags. At 2.3%, Islam is the 2nd most followed religion in the country. Mosques are plentiful in areas where there is a high population of Sibinians, as Islam is the main religion in Sibinia. 91.1% of the rest of the population of Spirevo do not follow a religion, although over 70% say that they are agnostic. 0.6% of the country practices other faiths, namely Judaism and Buddhism. Even though most Spirevans do not follow a religion, religious people and places are well treated and respected, and vice versa. There have been no reports of religious unrest in the country since its foundation.

| Spirevo's residents mainly use the Spirevo Bullet Train, of which is almost always on time and can circumnavigate the whole country in under 3 hours. This form of transport is useful and good for the environment. However, roads and cars are also massively used, especially in isolated and/or small areas. Bus services are free to all citizens of Spirevo.

| ==Sports==
| |
| Spirevo is famous for the practice of Winter Sports. Spirevo hosted the 2006 Internatia Winter Olympics and is one of the most successful countries in the event, namely in Alpine Skiing and Ice Hockey, which is an extremely popular sport in the country. The most played sports in the country include Ice Hockey and Tennis, especially in the state of Confedartio Helereticas. The Spirevan soccer team saw success in the early days, but since has been reglated to the minor leagues, with barely any wins, despite being one of the oldest Soccer teams in Internatia. Due to this, soccer is not a popular sport in Spirevo. Baseball is extremely popular as well, with its center of interest being in New Rhitewell.
