Krazenja

Krazenja, officially the Obradinian Empire (Obradinian: Yvtorezja Obratysk), is a Sorillian country located in Eastern Velizka on the Visamor coast. It is bordered by Sentryzija to the north and Syrpetija to the east and the Visamor sea to the south. The country has a population of 9 million. The country is a Parliamentary constitutional monarchy and its main legislative body is the House of Representatives. The capital of the country is Jânokgraz.

The country has its origins in the chaos of the Obradinian civil war. Although General Drikan Rikav Vâr surrendered to the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army in 1918, the lands south of the Krazanoj mountains remained under the control of the royalist general and nobleman Hylxoj Obratograz Vâr, a second cousin of the emperor. Many of the remaining royalist forces retreated south rather than surrender to the revolutionaries. The regions insular geography menat they were relatively protected from the revolutionaries attacks. In November of 1918 Hylxoj, the next in line for the throne following the deaths of his many cousins and two brothers, was crowned Emperor of Obradina, marking him as the first of the "exile emperoros". In the 1940s a regency council was established as Hylxoj I passed away and his son Jânok Jânokgraz Łyvâj III was too young to rule himself. Throughout the 1950s Krazenja and Sentryzija had a tense relation, resulting in 2 border wars resulting in Krazenja losing the the Vyjol peninsula. In 1961 Krazenja joined the newly formed Velizkan Strategic Defence Pact.

In modern times Krazenja is a quickly developing nation, although it is still behind its neighbours economically and technologically. Under the Novemberists the country developed a strong weldare state and normalised relarions with many nations such as Syrpetija. In 1975 the country had a literacy rate of 63% but by 1983 78% of Krazenjans could read and write. Under the Novemberists the country also opened up. The protectionist policies of the Kolylists were repealed and the country began to trade freely with other Visamoran states.

Foreign affairs
Krazenja historically was an isolationist state. Before the year 1961 it maintained embassies with only 2 other states, Torberia and Troiya. Prior to the beginning of the Anti-Kleptocratic Revolution under Kárnt vák Szártan-Sétélla Torberia and Krazenja enjoyed excellent relations. During the Torberian economic miracle the leader of Torberia, Jártan Kébrennt-Slát, invested massively into Krazenja. He even bought a second home in the countries northern mountainous province of Erðyzija towards the end of his life. Kébrennt quickly became a cultural icon in Krazenja, even causing the Emperor to become jealous of his popularity. The day he died there was an unscheduled and spontaneous 3 day mourning period, much to the dismay of the government who attempted to encourage people to return to work. Following Kárnt vák Szártan-Sétélla's liberal reforms public opinion in Krazenja turned against Torberia. A belief that Kébrennt had been stabbed in the back by hangers on quickly spread amongst the citizenry. This was used by Szártan as a reason to cut ties with the hermit kingdom, a move which Torberian officials ahd been trying to do since the 1960s. In 1975 Szártan fully denounced Krazenja as an illegitemate state in order to foster ties with Sentryzija. That same year the Novemberists were elected to government in a landslide victory, beginning the process of opening the country up further. In 1976 Krazenja and Syrpetija signed a pact of friendship and the 2 began trading.
