| Yazminia, officially the The '''Socialist Republic of Yazminia''' (Yazminian: ''Socialisma Respubliko de Yazminia'') is a state located in the north of [[Wikipedia:continent|Southern Internalia]]. Its territory extends by the [[Wikipedia:peninsula|Yazminian peninsula]] and adjacent lands along the [[Wikipedia:bay|Kamaradas bay coast]] and the east of the [[Wikipedia:bay|gulf of Mirela coast]] with a total area of 456,282 km² and 41,339,210 people living in. Yazminia borders to the southwest with [[List_of_sovereign_states_in_Internatia|Dimkarus]], to the south with [[List_of_sovereign_states_in_Internatia|Nicolas' Neighbour]] and the [[List_of_sovereign_states_in_Internatia|Land 42]] and to the east with [[Grolskira]]. <br>
| |
|
| |
| Since the [[Wikipedia:1992|1992 revolution]], Yazminia is organized as a [[Wikipedia:multi-party|multi-party system]] while being a [[Wikipedia:socialist state|socialist state]]. It is a [[Wikipedia:developed country|developed country]], is one of the countries with less [[Wikipedia:inequality|inequality]] according to the [[Wikipedia:OEDC|OECD]] and it has the "very high [[Wikipedia:living standards|living standards]]" label given by [[Wikipedia:UNDP|UNDP]].
| |
|
| |
| == Etymology ==
| |
|
| |
| ''Land of Yazmin'' or ''Land of the jasmines'', named after [[Wiki:Jasmine|Yazmin]], heir of [[Wikipedia:kingdom|Kastelando Crown]], and the amount of [[Wikipedia:Jasmine|jasmines]] that can be found in its territory. ([[#Yazminia|See below]])
| |
|
| |
| == History ==
| |
|
| |
| ===Pre-Yazminia===
| |
|
| |
| There are archaeological evidences that the Yazminian peninsula is inhabited by [[Wikipedia:hominids|hominids]] at least 1 million years ago. However, the peninsula enters the writing era inhabited by the [[Wikipedia:Celts|Celts]] and the Diocests, the historical settlers of the peninsula. After the weakening of those peoples due to the constant struggles between, the [[Wikipedia:Roman Empire|Roman Empire]] easly conquered them. During the early [[Wikipedia:Middle Ages|Middle Ages]] the peninsula came the under the [[Wikipedia:Muslim|Kalifejon Kingdom]] rule, which would last for almost a millennium.
| |
|
| |
| During the [[Wikipedia:10th century|10th century]], a [[Wikipedia:war of succession|war between different successors]] for the throne of the Kalifejon Kingdom allowed the small Christian kingdoms who resisted in the southern mountainous region to gain territories. With more equal forces, Muslims and Christians fought for centuries and the Christians gained slowly the control of the peninsula in a process called [[Wikipedia:Reconquest|O Rekonkero]] (''The Reconquest''). During the same period, while they were gaining territories, the different kingdoms were being inherited to the the same kings so they merged into bigger crowns. At the end of the [[Wikipedia:Reconquest|O Rekonkero]], only two crowns left in the peninsula, [[Wikipedia:kingdom|Kastelando]] in the west and [[Wikipedia:kingdom|Grandvalo]] in the east, until they united in 1368.
| |
|
| |
| ===Yazminia===
| |
|
| |
| [[Wiki:Jasmine|Yazmin]], heiress to the [[Wikipedia:crown|Kastelando Crown]] and [[Wiki:Ferdinand|Ferdinando]] heir to the [[Wikipedia:crown|Grandvalo Crown]] met in an audit in [[Wikipedia:city|O Mantelo]] and fell in love, but this love was impossible because [[Wiki:Jasmine|Yazmin]] was promised by her parents to a [[Wikipedia:Marriage of state|marriage of convenience]] with [[Wiki:Henry|Henry]] king of the [[Wikipedia:people|Malsagans]], a kingdom located in the northeast of the bay. When [[Wiki:Ferdinand|Ferdinando]] acceded to the throne, declared a surprise war on [[Wikipedia:country|Malsagia]], with [[Wikipedia:country|Malsagia]] finally surrendering in [[Wikipedia:1367|1367]]. [[Wiki:Ferdinand|Ferdinando]] marry [[Wiki:Jasmine|Yazmin]] one year later and as a celebration, [[Wiki:Ferdinand|Ferdinando]] ordered to plant millions of jasmine plants around the territory and renamed the resulting crown as Yazminia. Nowadays, they are still popularly known by Yazminians as Os Amantos (''the lovers'') and to honor them every October 9 is celebrated the Amantos Rago (''the lovers day''), where it is traditional for men giving jasmines to his partner.
| |
|
| |
| The Yazminian crown union was strengthened during the following centuries, but after a diplomatic crisis in [[Wikipedia:1747|1747]] the surrounding countries allied to conquer the peninsula. Yazminians organized [[Wikipedia:guerrilla warfare|gerilos]] against the invaders and after years of continuous attacks by Yazminian guerrillas and sabotages by the civil population, foreigners were expelled and Yazminia regained its independence. Yazminians took advantage of guerrillas and the weakening of the previously invading powers and conquered the continuous lands of the peninsula along the southeast of the [[Wikipedia:bay|Algasorian bay coast]], defining the map of the current Yazminia. At that time the first Yazminian constitution was drafted, defining Yazminia as a [[Wikipedia:Unitary_state|unitary country]] for the first time.
| |
|
| |
| In [[Wikipedia:1930|1930]], early the first ever free elections were held. The Left-Republican coalition won over the Conservatives and Royalists, people after the results hit the streets and proclaimed the [[Wikipedia:republic|Second Republic]]. The left-republican government drafted a new constitution recognizing [[Wikipedia:freedom of speech|freedom of speech]] and [[Wikipedia:freedom of association|freedom of association]], extending [[Wikipedia:suffrage|suffrage]] to women, separating the State of the Churches and allowing divorce and stripping the Yazminian nobility of any special legal status, among many other things. In [[Wikipedia:1940|1940]] the [[Wikipedia:fascism|nationalists]] supported by the military and the nobility revolted against the democratic government bringing Yazminia to a [[Wikipedia:civil war|civil war]]. Finally the nationalists with the help of [[Wikipedia:Axis powers|other Fascist powers]] won the war after three years. With Yazminia devastated, the winners easily instituted a represive [[Wikipedia:military dictatorship|military dictatorship]] who ruled the country for more than three decades. The new generations who did not experience the repression of the early years of the dictatorship, began to organize demanding democracy, finally throwing the dictatorship in [[Wikipedia:1975|1975]] the peaceful [[Wikipedia:revolution|''Floro Revolucio'']] (''Flowers Revolution''). Yazminia was organized as a [[Wikipedia:Western_democracy|liberal democracy]] until [[Wikipedia:1992|1992]], in which a severe economic crisis led the [[Wikipedia:Communist Party|Communist Party]] to power. Although the multi-party system is still valid [[Wikipedia:de iure|''de iure'']], parties that do not support socialism are banned and persecuted.
| |
|
| |
| ==Geography==
| |
|
| |
| Yazminia has a total land area of 456,283 km² extending by the [[Wikipedia:peninsula|Yazminian peninsula]] and adjacent lands along the the east of the [[Wikipedia:bay|gulf of Mirela coast]] and the [[Wikipedia:bay|Kamaradas bay coast]]. In total its length of the coastline measures 4,964 km.
| |
|
| |
| Unlike the coast, the inner strip is a cold mountainous region. Because of this geography, Yazminian rivers are short but plentiful. The longest of them, the [[Wikipedia:river|Ibriya]] just cover 92 km to its mouth in [[Wikipedia:city|Stelas]], but has an average discharge of 2,830 m<sup>3</sup>/s. The [[Wikipedia:source_(river_or_stream|source)]] of the Ibriya, the Inferon mountain, is the highest Yazminian mountain, having a peak of 3,718 m above the sea level.
| |
|
| |
| ===Climate===
| |
|
| |
| Almost all Yazminia has a [[Wikipedia:Mediterranean climate|Mediterranean climate]], except the northern part having a [[Wikipedia:Oceanic climate|Oceanic climate]]. While the wind from the east, north or west are wet due to the sea influence, the proximity of the mountain system with the sea causes a extremely dry southern wind, especially in the interior of the Yazminian peninsula.
| |
|
| |
| ===Administrative divisions===
| |
| Yazminia is integrated by into 10 [[Wikipedia:region|regionos]] (''regions'') which are divided into 30 [[Wikipedia:province|provincos]] (''provinces''). Although [[Wikipedia:de iure|''de iure'']] Yazminia is a [[Wikipedia:Unitary_state|unitary country]], its regions have much autonomy so it could be considered a [[Wikipedia:federation|federation]] [[Wikipedia:de facto|''de facto'']].
