Rovsnoska

Rovsnoska, officially the Greater Rovsnoski Republic (: Velikosrpska Republika), or more commonly Greater Rovsnoska (: Veća Rovsnoska), is a and  republic located in the Far East of Artemia with a population of around 50,277,330 and bordering Yarova, Graznava, Poja, and Zaporizhia. Rovsnoska is a very recent country, seceding from the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia in 1994 in the bloody civil war known as the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. This region possesses an abundance of grasslands and forests, allowing for a high export of crops and timber although the major exports of Rovsnoska are automotive parts and various refined ores, specifically. Light munitions, textiles, and a Rovsnoski-made tank, the are also produced. The Grand Rovsnoski Armed Forces are well equipped, in spite of the many out of date armor and weaponry, which is being rapidly modernized. The maintenance of a large armed force is vital as a deterrent to members of the rival LoFN and PAC. The governmental system has been a one-party republic ever since Grand Marshal Lucijan Perica implemented a republican shift but has remained highly authoritarian in nature.

Etymology
There are different hypotheses as to the etymology of the name Rovsnoska. According to the older widespread hypothesis, the na,e began as "Rovskersk", which means "borderland" in old Ranijudi, while some more recent linguistic studies claim a different meaning: "homeland" or "region, country". This name has been proposed as the precursor to that of the name "Rovsnoska" which is first recorded describing the people of Southern Rovsnoska in the late 11th century.

Early History
The earliest sign of settlement and agriculture in Rovsnoska was around 11,000 BCE due to and  bones being found in archaeological digs of ancient villages. In the fifth and sixth centuries, the Ranijudi were located in the territory of what is now modern-day Rovsnoska and Adjinua. The Ranijudi were the ancestors of the Adjinua, Rovsnoski, and Vrtgorans. Migrations from Rovsnoska throughout Central and South-East Artemia established many Slavic nations. Western migrations, reaching almost to the Belapečina Gulf, led to the emergence of the Vrtgores the group's ancestral to the Vrtgorans. The Ranijudi formed a union from their scattered tribes, which had the capability to repel Ljudian raids. After a Ljudian raid in 602 and the collapse of the Ranijudi Union, most of these peoples survived as separate tribes once more. In 972 a large portion of modern Rovsnoska was absorbed into the East Slavic Confederation of Ljudia, along with Pyotr the Pious of Ljudia introducing the Ranijudi to, which was easily adopted. Many southern Ranijudi were also introduced to by the Adrananese, of which inhabit the Poja area. Around early 1000 is when historians theorize the local Ranijudi people in mid and southern Rovsnoska begun using the name "Rovskersk", meaning "homeland" or "region" in old Ranijudi to describe their land, which is considered the precursor to the name "Rovsnoska."

Tsardom of Rovskemlja (1220-1744)
Around 1190 Rovsnoski villages began suffering from Zaporizhian raiders and slavers. Deprived of native protectors among the Ljudian nobility, the Ranijudi began turning for protection to the emerging Southern Rovsnoski, of which inhabited the Rovskemlja region. The Rovsnoski did not shy from taking up arms against those they perceived as enemies, including the ever so declining East Slavic Confederation of Ljudia and its local representatives. The Southern Rovsnoski, or Rovskemlja, began revolting against Ljudia in 1219 CE, and would continue fighting until its collapse. In 1236 CE Ljudia collapsed leading to the creation of a multitude of new nations, however, its collapse allowed for the expansion of the Rovskemlja Rovsnoski further north into areas once held by the confederation. Imanuel Srbljić II united the northern Rovsnoski tribes and the Rovskemlja Rovsnoski into the formation of the Tsardom of Rovskemlja. Through conquest of smaller and ununified Slavic states the Tsardom of Rovskemlja was able to expand its borders much further, most notably eastward clashing with various Zaporizhian,, , , and states. However they were able to maintain relatively peaceful relations with their Adjinuan neighbors in the south. In 1321 the Leont'yevskaya Khanate began a conquest against Northern Rovsnoski settlements, subsequently taking control of a large portion of Northern Rovsnoska. The Khanates attacks were eventually repelled by the Tsardom, and a portion of the land lost to the Khanate reclaimed. Tartars were therefore expelled to the Kingdom of Kryzhelovschina along with many. At its height, the Tsardom of Rovskemlja would reach three fourths the size of modern-day Rovsnoska. The Tsardom began to decline around 1538 as Kryzhelovschina began a conquest of Northern Rovsnoski land, leading to multiple defeats at the hand of the Kryzhelovs and multiple Zaporizhian revolts in the east had led to the destabilization of the Tsardom. The Zaporizhian of Zemlya Gor was absorbed into the Tsardom of Rovskemlija in 1672, however, this would be the final major expansion of the Tsardom.

Governorate of Rovsnoska (1744-1926)
Through the course of the 18th century, the Yarovan Vojisky Empire waged an extensive and unprecedented territorial expansion, as part of the policy of Vostochnoye Gospodstvo (‘Eastern Domination’), and brought down countless small states in Artemia's Far East. Yarova soon set its eyes on the weakening Tsardom of Rovskemlja. Vojiskiy soldiers marched into Rovsnoska on 18 May 1744, just one year after the annexation of neighboring Zaporizhia. The cities of Pazin, Kvilia, and Rozhok had been captured within a week of the invasion. On June 12 the Tsardom of Rovskemlja surrendered, becoming a of the Vojiskiy Empire. The Governorate of Rovsnoska was utilized, principally, as an agricultural province to produce food supplies for the empire's growing populace, at the expense, of course, of the Rovsnoski. Anti-Vojiskiy sentiments would flourish in the impoverished Governorate

In the late 19th century a wave of, , and factions began springing up in the Governorate of Rovsnoska. Meanwhile, a republican revolt was beginning to reach boiling point in Yarova Proper along with independence movements brewing thought the empire. A large amount of the Rovsnoski nationalist factions had adopted the ideals of communism, gaining influence from energized Zaporizhian rebel leaders like Vladimir Kurchatov. Kurchatov, a proponent of Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian unification, received widespread support among impoverished Rovsnoski share-croppers, which furthered the possibility of a joint-insurrection, however the ex-Vojiskiy Admiral Spomenko Mijatović had gained much influence in Southern Rovsnoska where sentiments of Rovsnoski nationalism were extremely high. On the 16 of April 1922 war broke out within the Vojiskiy Empire. Soon communist groups would organize to form the Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian Revolutionary Army formed around the ideals of Volkovism and led by Kurchatov. Much like the Raudonasis Judėjimas or ‘Red Movement’ in Aukalnia and Sartland at the time, the revolutionaries launched a campaign against the Yarovan imperial forces in isolated areas while the Republic of Rovsnoska was declared in Southern Rovsnoska under the supreme authority of Mijatović. The Republic of Rovsnoska aligned itself with the Vojiskiy Empire, seeing it as the lesser of two evil compared to the communists, whilst the communist aligned themselves with the Yarovar Republicans and United Front. On September 5, 1922, the Vojiskiy forces began Operation Virgate, of which pulled their forces out of large swathes of Zaporizhia and Rovsnoska, allowing for the communists to rapidly expand their territory. Gradually, as Vojiskiy control weakened, due in no small measure by the Republican Front led by Vladimir Simakin in Yarova Proper, the rebels were enabled to engage in direct offensive tactics. The Republic of Rovsnoska began fighting on two fronts in 1924 when Helinika joined the war, this greatly stretched Rovsnoski troops thin and stunted any progress made against the Rovski-Zaporizhian Revolutionary Army. Pojan volunteers and material aid to the nationalists allowed for a number of small counter-offenses in the south, however their forces were near breaking point. By 1925 Rovsnoski forces were near collapse and the capital of Krevnigrad encircled.

On June 2, 1925, Spomenko Mijatović committed suicide, and with his death came the collapse of the Republic. On 2 February 1926, a matter of weeks after the storming of the Imperial Palace in Shchyokhov and the declaration of the United Federated Districts of Yarova, the Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian rebels had captured the last Vojiskiy stronghold of Sosnivika. Accordingly, this led to the foundation of the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia, which was governed by an ethnically-mixed provisional government presided over by Kurchatov.

United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia (1926-1994)
After the two states were formally unified, Vladimir Kurchatov was inaugurated as the first commissar of the new, socialist United Provinces, which he ruled through the Supreme Soviet. Once a predominantly agricultural country, the United Provinces was transformed into a mid-range industrial state, and acquired an international reputation due to its manufacturing of s. The United Provinces were established as a comprising two republics, from west to east: Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia. Democratic elections would be held until 1939 when Andre Marchotov became commissar.

Białemorze Conflict (1942-1944)
As the Kingdom of Gradinska, a monarchy bordering Rovsnoska's west fell into an economic depression in 1934 multiple communist groups began gaining a large following. These groups would find massive support from the UPRZ, with many MSSC agents providing training and monetary funds to communist. On June 20, 1942, the Kingdom of Gradinska territory of Carașovia was annexed by the UPRZ. The Kingdom of Gradinska declared war but quickly collapsed at the hands of communist revolutionaries. King Grzegorz Pawloski and much of his followers fled to the Republic of Gradinska to the west. The Gradinsk Communist Republic was declared. Then fearing that they would be slowly picked off individually by communists forces, the Republic of Gradinska and Kingdom of St. Vilmos formed a federation, which also forcefully included the exiled Kingdom of Gradinska. The newly formed Federation of Gradinska would be able to withstand the communist attacks but still had an extremely difficult time at organizing and raising their armies. By early 1943 the communist forces had been gaining massive traction, until November of 1943 when the popular political figure Andre Marchotov was assassinated, leading to riots and the declaration of martial law. Without the support of the UPRZ, the communist forces quickly collapsed and were defeated. The Carașovia peninsula would be retained by the UPRZ in the Treaty of Carașovia.

Marchotov Crisis
On September 9, 1943 students of the National Academy in Krevnigrad began a protest of around 20,000 people of the restrictions of free speech implemented by Marchotov, involvement in the Białemorze Conflict, state atheism and harsh working conditions. The protesters rallied around the statue of the Rovsnoski national hero, Taryinchi Pripyat I, in Union Square. Pro-reformists and local industrial workers would soon join in. On September 12 Andre Marchotov, the then-president of the UPRZ was kidnapped, beaten, and shot. The assassin, Mislav Bešić, was an associate with the Legija group and was hung a few days later without trial. This sparked nationwide outrage and caused mass riots among the already disgruntled Rovsnoski protesters. was declared to swiftly repress all opposition. However ethnically Rovsnoski garrisons were extremely slow to react and even joined the protesters. On September 13 the MSSC headquarters in Krevnigrad were overrun and the officers within were lynched or beaten to death. Eventually, Zaporizhian units made their way to crush the rebellion, meeting heavy resistance from both Rovsnoski garrisons and partisans. The rebellion was crushed and the leaders hung. The chaos caused by the unrest and massive military failures against the Federation of Gradinska pulled the UPRZ out of the Białemorze Conflict.

Creation of the Sosnivika Accord and Involvement in the Kesh War (1953-1959)
By 1950 Teutonia-UPRZ relations had been at a low point as the UPRZ had been extremely vocal in it's criticism of Teutonia's blatant nationalism and failure to cooperate with the UPRZ militarily. Rovskovsky Khrushchev, then commissar of the UPRZ, believed that Volkovists states must band together to defend from outside harm and infighting between the international communist community, albeit historians also speculate Khruschev wishing to solidify UPRZ influence within friendly communist states being the major factor for the creation of any form of alliance. In 1953 Khruschev met with Chairman Abakai Wehiyehe of Tonkina and Premier Juris Žvirka of Aukalnia and Sartland in Sosnivika to form the Organisation for the Cooperation of International Socialism (OCIS), or Sosnivika Accord. The accord soon went into action, as in 1954 Tonkina came into conflict with Selengaria. The Sosnivika Accord soon sent volunteers and material aid to Tonkina.

Involvement in the Secularist Revolt
Ministry of State Security agents within Lestykhol propagated and assisted the Kholak People's Front in its revolution. It was reported that agents of the MSSC taught various Kholak opposition groups tactics, propaganda, and armed those groups with a limited number of smuggled small arms. The MSSC was actually believed to have caused infighting within a few of the groups in an attempt to cleanse them of Republicans and non-Volkovist communists.

Involvement in the Chernarussian Conflict (1968-1973)
In 1968 the semi-autonomous region of Chernarus declared itself independent from the Confederacy of Poja. This move was of great interest to the UPRZ as it allowed for an opportunity to create a communist satellite state within the region under the guise of supporting independence. Although the organized armed resistance of the Chernarussians had been crushed by late 1968 the UPRZ would soon begin funding the armed Chernarussian militia, Chernarus People's Liberation Front, or FONC. The Liberation Front had explicitly expressed its need for support from the UPRZ and its ultimate goals of cooperation. The border town of Gvozdno would become the headquarters and staging point of the FONC. On February 3, 1969 agents of the MSSC would meet with representatives of the FONC and arrange support. Around a week later multiples crates of s, s, s, s, s, s, and munitions would be delivered to various FONC camps and operation centers. A steady flow of arms and munitions would continue to be sent to the FONC militia, although they would remain a relatively minor group through the conflict. Many of the weapons meant for FONC would wind up in the hands of various other Chernarussian militia.

In the later stages of the conflict, a reconnaissance craft was flown along the northern border of Chernarus near the town of Gvozdno, where Pojan intelligence believed the Chernarussian rebels had set up a supply base to support matériel coming in over the border from the UPRZ. Efforts to uncover this base were largely failures until this particular flight. From the photography, the base was not only identified but It was identified in such detail that it was able to be destroyed with an airstrike just the following day. This marked a major blow to the Chernarussian insurgency and effective cut off support from the UPRZ.

Oil Boom (1968-1984)
In 1968, reserves of were discovered in swathes of territory situated between Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia, and the country enjoyed an economic boom owing to this. With its new-found wealth, two major companies were formed: Zapoatom, which was tasked with constructing and operating s, and Rosuran, which carried out. In 1972, the first excavation was completed at Cherkasy Nuclear Power Station. By 1980, the plant officially commenced operations and began to supply power to Sosnivika. The UPRZ began to grow extremely dependent on its surplus of oil, investing billions of dollars in its oil production. The UPRZ would also gain nuclear capability in 1968.

Involvement in Arbenz (1989-1991)
The Mosqueno region of Albaterra had been facing unrest and turmoil around the late 1980s, with communist groups such as the Zacores piquing the interest of UPRZ officials. The UPRZ, wanting to expand its influence into Avalonia, sent aid to the Zacores, however political instability within the UPRZ prevented much higher amounts or quality of equipment, sending only reserve stock submachine guns such as the Zs.59 Komarac, pistols, and obsolete radio kits.

Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation (1994-1998)
In the late-1970s, the UPRZ's oil reserves were beginning to decrease at an accelerating rate and, by 1984, exploration and production had virtually ceased. The termination of this industry, which played a central role in the economic output of the United Provinces, had a devastating impact on the state's economy. The failure of the government to prepare for such adversity resulted in a famine and in 1993 which, according to some estimates, claimed the lives of over 60,000 Rovsnoski-Zaporizhians. The following year, in 1994, a nonviolent demonstration in Sosnivika was met with brutality by government forces. This sparked the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. For the duration of the conflict, the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia retained control over Zaporizhia, whereas much of Rovsnoska was captured by Rovsnoski separatists. Due to heavy foreign aid from Lestykhol and Albaterra Rovsnoska was able to continue fighting while Zaporizhian forces began to slowly wear down. Due to heavy losses on both sides of the war and Graznavan threatening another front for the Rovsnoski to fight, the Treaty of Rozhok was signed in 1997.

On April 12th Graznava declared its independence from Rovsnoska, sparking the continuation of the war. Due to Yarovan anti-tank weapons, guerrilla warfare, and armored vehicles becoming ineffective in the rainy season, Rovsnoski forces were quickly bogged down and took heavy losses. The war would continue until the winter of 1998, where Rovsnoski forces withstood tremendous losses at the Graznavan capital city of Apazov. A treaty was signed between the two states a few months later.

Republican Shift
The first few years of Rovsnoska's independence were very difficult and grueling. The newly formed from the remnants of the UPRZ Secret Police, Legionarska, rooted out and killed anarchists, communists, republicans, and various ethnic minorities en mass. Communist and Graznavan guerrillas also continued to commit terror attacks after the war indiscriminately. A large amount of industrial areas were damaged during the civil war, but aid was sent from the Albaterra and Agrana y Griegro due to their extremely anti-communist beliefs, wanting a foothold and ally in Eastern Artemia, and a pact that was made during the civil war ensuring future foreign aid. The first leader of Rovsnoska, Grand Marshal Viktor Martić, ruled with an iron fist and held regular public executions. Many isolationist policies were implemented by Martić which crippled the economy even further.

In 2000 Martić died from a stroke, and the Minister of Propaganda, Lucijan Perica took power. Due to outside pressure, a struggling economy, and for personnel benefit, Perica and his many supporters transitioned Rovsnoska into a with a one-party system, but many  aspects continue today. Life was still very hard at this time, but conditions were beginning to improve. Perica removed Viktor Martić's policies, allowing for expanded trade to democratic nations. Lucijan Perica implemented reconstruction efforts of the industrial regions most impacted by the civil war and promised those who built those areas food and a job in those factories in the future. In 2007 a boom of industrialization and jobs revitalised the Rovsnoski economy. Many automotive and munitions factories, uranium mines, coal mines, and uranium refineries sprang up across the nation. The majority of these in the industrial cities of Rasnaya, Pazin, and Varažidin. Destroyed roads, railway systems, schools, and various other infrastructure were being rebuilt and expanded upon in this time too. Around this time the military also began rapid expansion and renovation, purchasing multiple licenses to produce various equipment of Kholak design.

De-Nuclearization
Rovsnoska has been accused of attempts to develop a nuclear weapons program, but no solid evidence has been reported. Grand Marshal Lucijan Perica has denied any Rovsnoski attempts at nuclear weapons development. With multiple active nuclear power sites and an abundant source of uranium, Rovsnoska has been deemed as both capable of producing nuclear weapons and possibly in the secret development of them. In 2000 Rovsnoska sold its nuclear arsenal of 55 nuclear warheads produced by the UPRZ to a joint denuclearization pact that included Gardarike, Modrovia, and various LoFN members. However, Sources within the Rovsnoski government have reported that there were also 30 undocumented nuclear warheads of which Rovsnoska retained, however, no solid evidence has proven this to be true.

Domestic Terrorism and Border Conflicts
Following the civil war, terrorism became an immediate issue. In Northern Rovsnoska a group of terrorists known as the People's Liberation Movement of Graznava and Astran, or NDGA, split from the command of the Astri-Graznavan Defense Council to fight a guerrilla campaign against Rovsnoski forces in the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. After the ceasefire between Rovsnoski and Graznavan forces was signed in 1998 Rovsnoska remained control over a large amount of majority Graznavan and Astran land, of which the NDGA had been active during the war. These fighters would continue a guerrilla campaign, with most of their activity being halted after the 2009 raid on the NDGA base of operations in the town of Chezayni. The NDGA would continue terror attacks such as bombings and assassinations, but much more decentralized. The Graznavan People's Republic has been accused of funding the NDGA, but no solid evidence has been found to support these accusations. Communist terrorists, although much more disorganised and smaller than the NDGA have also been active within Rovsnoska, but have been almost unheard of since 2010.

Second Invasion of Graznava (2020)
On April 18, 2020, the Graznavan People's Republic was invaded by Rovsnoska for the second time. The invasion occurred days after Yarova's recently elected president, Tanas Gruzdev, pulled Yarovan troops from the GPR. However, Gruzdev had been alluding to these months before, allowing Rovsnoski troops to prepare for the assault. Around 60,000 soldier of the Grand Rovsnoski Army and 10,000 of the Legionary Guard would be set to crush the GPR's light defenses. The League of Free Nations had taken steps to send troops to the GPR to prevent any Rovsnoski action, however the invasion had already commenced before they were able to send reinforcements. Within a few days, the Capitol of Apazov had been encircled, however using lessons learned from the First Battle of Apazov airstrikes and the bombardment were limited. With the majority of the GPR's government officials evacuated to Cezakia and the last pockets of resistance fading, the GPR surrendered on April 29. Many of the GPR's industrial and ethnically Rovsnoski areas were annexed by Rovsnoska, however, the northern area of the GPR became the Republic of South Kryzhelovschina, a Rovsnoski puppet of which is still currently under Rovski military administration due to the threat of insurgency.

Climate
Rovsnoska has a where winters last between 105 and 145 days, and summers last up to 150 days. The average temperature in January is −7 °C (19 °F), and the average temperature for July is about 18 °C (64 °F). Average temperature for July ranges from 17.5 °C (64 °F) in the north, 18.5–19 °C (66 °F) in the south. For January, it ranges from −4.5 °C (24 °F) in the southwest to −8 °C (18 °F) in the northeast. The average annual precipitation ranges from 550 to 700 millimeters (21.7 to 27.6 in) and is sometimes excessive, especially in the northwest near the Graznava border.

Land Features
The Azeeri River is the largest river in Rovsnoska, spanning 2,145 kilometers and running through the major cities of Krevnigrad and Varažidin. In the Northeast of Rovsnoska there is a small mountain range along the Rovsnoski-Yarova border.

Carașovia Exclave
The Carașovia territory is an exclave situated between Gradinska, Rovsnoska, and Helinika. Carașovia was the staging point for the invasion of Gradinska in the 1940 Białemorze Conflict, where shipments of equipment and men would supply and assist the communist forces. Carașovia is unique in Rovsnoska as it is the only area where there is a Gradinskan majority. Today this area is rarely disputed over as Gradinska and Rovsnoska have expanded diplomatic ties.

National Rovsnoski Legion
The National Rovsnoski Legion, (: Nacionalna Rovsnoski Legija), or commonly known as NSL, is the ruling party of Rovsnoska. The name comes from the ideology of the party,, and the Legija right-wing militia that fought for Rovsnoski independence in the Vojiskiy War. The NRL rose during the economic depression and famines that ravaged the UPRZ during the late 70s' too late 80s' and became the political wing of the Grand Rovsnoski Armed Forces during the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation.

Governance and Administration
The three legislative bodies of Rovsnoska are the Senate, the Council of Ministers who are voted in by corporate sects, and the Grand Council, who are put in by the Grand Marshal and is headed by the Grand Marshal. Members of the National Rovsnoski Legion have a much higher chance of gaining any high positions.

Foreign relations
Rovsnoska heads the Allied Eastern States, in which was created in 2000 to mainly oppose international interference and create a strategic and economic bond between right-leaning nations. This coalition has led to Rovsnoska becoming close allies with Destland and Gradinska.

Rovsnoska maintains a neutral stance towards most right-leaning democracies and monarchies, although being fairly anti-democratic. All countries that maintain a sect of communism are enemies of Rovsnoska. Rovsnoska maintains a tight alliance with the Lestykhol due to its constant economic and military support. A small number of Rovsnoski also live in Lestykhol and came to fight for the Rovsnoski in the civil war, joined by Kholak volunteers.

Rovsnoska has been condemned of attempting to undermine the Graznava People's Republic through funding insurgents and assassinations of high officials. Several terrorist attacks have partially proven to have been committed by Rovsnoskan forces or backed insurgencies, including the death of Chairman of the People's Soviet, Krymov Svyatoslavovich in 2008 and a 2014 attempt to kill then-General Secretary Yunkin Borisovich. Numerous attempts have been made by Graznavan officials to prosecute Rovsnoskan military officials for perceived war crimes during the civil war to no avail. Tensions between the GPR and Rovsnoska hit an all-time extreme in 2020 when Yarovan troops were pulled out of Graznava, resulting in an invasion by Rovsnoska.

Helinika is a strong trade and military partner of Rovsnoska, with many of the alloys used in the production of automotive parts, one of the most vital parts of the Rovsnoski economy, being imported from Helinika. Helinika's ports are the main source of Rovsnoski exports. Helinika and Rovsnoska have worked together on multiple occasions in counter-terrorist operations in Southern Rovsnoska, and each respective military train with each other on the regular.

Yarova and Rovsnoska currently retain relatively warm relations due to the election of President Gruzdev, which has expressed a desire for cooperation and trade between Yarova and the Allied Eastern States. Yarova withdrawing troops from Graznava has also raised public opinion of the nation by a large margin. However Rovsnoska remains wary of Yarova due to the fact that the Gruzdev presidency will not last forever, and Yaro-Rovski relations have been fluctuating for centuries.

Lestykhol and Rovsnoska have developed a strong military alliance since the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation, where Kholak naval forces harassed and openly engaged Zaporizhian vessels. Also being a founding member of AES, Lestykhol and Rovsnoska have secured massive arms deals with each other, with many Rovsnoski surplus vehicles and weaponry being sold to Lestykhol for extremely low prices.

Structure of the Armed Forces
The Generalissimos of the Air Force, Army, and Legionary Guard are all appointed by the Minister of War, the only requirement being the rank of Chief Marshal. The base ranking system for all forces in order are Recruit, Private, Private 1st Class, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Sergeant 1st Class, Master Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, Warrant Officer, Chief Warrant Officer, Commissar, Junior Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Senior Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Junior Colonel, Colonel, Senior Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, Colonel General, Chief General, Field Marshal, Marshal, Generalissimo.

The Rovsnoski forces have a unique operational military doctrine for a conventional military force. Rovsnoska based its defense doctrine upon the total war concept of "Total People's Defence" (sh. Opštenarodna odbrana) which drew upon Rovsnoska's successful partisan history during the early phases of the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation where Rovsnoski militiamen and partisans harassed and whittled down the UPRZ forces advancing on Krevnigrad, preventing the capture of the capital. The "Total National Defence" concept gave the GRA the role of defending borders against aggressors with the intention of delaying an invader long enough for a larger force of civilian conscripts to enter the field and start wearing the invader down. The entire Rovsnoski population was to be engaged in armed resistance, armaments production, and civil defense under this concept. It was believed by Rovsnoski planners to be the best method by which a smaller nation could properly defend itself against a much stronger invader, specifically, a multinational attack by the League of Free Nations. A war against a minor nation would not send Rovsnoska into total war, the same being said if there were to be a war with the YZAGA unless Rovsnoska began losing significant ground.

Counter Insurgency Operations
Since the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation the People's Liberation Movement of Graznava and Astran, or NDGA, had become an active insurgency within Rovsnoska. The Legionary Guard, being tasked with keeping internal order within Rovsnoska began massive counter-insurgency operations following the 1999 Krevnigrad Metro Bombings performed by NDGA terrorists. The Legionary Guard began mass arms searches in Northern Rovsnoska, which resulted in multiple civilian alterations and death. Guardsmen's operations in the early stages of the insurgency have been described as disorganised and sloppy. In 2001 a Kameshki police station was taken hostage by 14 masked NDGA insurgents, the demands of the NDGA were to cede the city of Kameshki to the GPR and 4,000,000 Kunas. The Legionary Guard responded by firing at the insurgents with a 30mm APC gun. All 14 insurgents were killed along with 6 police officers.

By 2003 the Legionary Guard had been able to confine the NDGA's actions to areas of Northern Rovsnoska where they held the most support. Road checkpoints were set up throughout Northern Rovsnoska, limiting the insurgent's movements even further. These checkpoints would prove to be highly successful in the Almestal Mountains, of which was a vital NDGA refuge. In 2009 Myaukin Tikhonovich, the head of the NDGA, and a small convoy of insurgents were killed in an attack by Legionary special forces on the Graznavan-Rovsnoski border. Tikhonovich's movements into the GPR and assistance to the NDGA from the GPR were confirmed by Legionarska infiltrators.

Actions Against Graznava
The Grand Rovsnoski Army's failed mass assault of Graznava using armored divisions during the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation was a failure that still defines the GRA's tactics till this day. Since then multiple units of the Grand Rovsnoski Army stationed near the Graznavan border would routinely be involved in border conflicts between Rovsnoska and Graznava. The Grand Rovsnoski Army also made up the bulk of the invasion force, numbering around 60,000, of which invaded the GPR on April 18, 2020. Many Grand Army troops are still stationed in South Kryzhelovschina for counter-insurgency operations.

The Rovsnoski Air Defense Force (: Rovsnoski Snage Protuzračne Obrane), commonly known as the Air Defense, was established in 1995 using mostly old UPRZ aircraft, many of which still make up the bulk of the Air Defense today. The Air Defense eventually began some of their own designs to improve upon already existing aircraft such as the HMR-27. To fill in a lack of transport vehicles, the Air Defense came up with the Antonov design. The can also be used as a gunship and a modified version. In more recent years the Rovsnoski Air Defense bought 20 ZuB-10B Pelikans from Poja for training cadets, before this old crop dusters were being used for training, resulting in underskilled pilots. The ZuB-10B can also be equipped with munitions if more planes are needed in a war. The Rovsnoski Air Defense Force also operates Rovsnoska's air defense systems and anti-air guns.

Crime
In In recent years the subculture is known as the ulični has become a prevalent issue within the Rovsnoski youth. Ulični is generally young men of lower-class suburban areas coming from low-income families. The ulični originate from the UPRZ era around the 1970s where they were highly active within organized crime and bootlegging. Near the end of the UPRZ and Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation they were more so known as petty gangsters and disruptive youth. The Rovsnoski government has had multiple attempts to curve this gang-like behavior, but this has only resulted in a deeper divide between the government and youth culture. Ulični can be commonly found squatting in groups around public areas such as parks and outside apartment complexes, a behavior allegedly caused by labor camp prisoners squatting to avoid sitting on the cold ground. These gangs are also associated with drinking cheap vodka, eating sunflower seeds, wearing tracksuits and flat caps, smoking cheap cigarettes, fighting, yelling profanities,, and occasionally in Southern Rovsnoska firearms. Although being generally against the current Rovsnoski government, ulični generally share strong Rovsnoski nationalism and.

Two notable style gangs existing in Rovsnoska are the Pijuni ("Pawns"), and the Puška Braća ("Gun Brothers"). Unlike the Yarovan mafia, of which has roots dating back to the medieval age, the various organized criminal organisations of Rovsnoska can be traced back to forming around the late 1970s UPRZ oil crisis, of which birthed a wave of organized crime within the provinces. became a massive issue during the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation, as these criminals had easy access to UPRZ weaponry along with a significant number of military figures willing to sell arms to those organisations. At their height the Braća's arsenal included five DMP-1 IFVs, two T-64 main battle tanks, and one T-72. However relations with government officials were quickly snuffed out after the separation and the Rovsnoski government began a heavy anti-corruption campaign, of which resulted in near collapse of the Pijuni. Today the Pijuni rely heavily on exporting  and other various drugs to Yarova and Zaporizhia whilst the Braća continue to deal arms, most notably to Seratof, Lusjki, Yarova, and Poja. The Braća are also very notable for having ties to Chernarussian insurgents, the Kartvelian National Liberation League, Death Riders MC and various other insurgent and crime groups of which they arm.

The annual per capita consumption of alcohol in Rovsnoska has been reported as 15.78 litres, one of the highest in Artemia. Alcoholism has been a major health concern in Rovsnoska since its days as the Governorate of Rovsnoska. Prohibition has been enacted three times in Rovsnoski history: 1924, 1967, and 1999. Each age of Prohibition had resulted in massive increases in crime rates and illegal brewing.

Economy
Rovsnoskas economy has been steadily increasing since Lucijan Perica implemented new trading policies, allowing for trade with various liberal democracies. With factories being rapidly reconstructed and aid from the Albaterra and Agrana y Griegro Rovsnoska was also able to rebuild much of its industrial capabilities but still lacks behind most nations. Rovsnoska refuses to trade with all countries that follow a doctrine of communism. In recent years multiple trade deals between Rovsnoska and various Western Artemian nations have greatly improved Rovsnoska's economy, specifically with Austrasia and Thalaky.

Major Exports
Rovsnoska has been a major exporter of timber and agriculture for its existence, dating back to the Kingdom of Rovsnoska. Refined uranium, automotive parts, textiles, vodka, barley, potatoes, wheat, polymers, and various unrefined metals are some of the major modern exports. Coal, munitions, and small arms are smaller industries in Rovsnoska. The car company Nada produces cars in Rovsnoska and exports their vehicles worldwide, one of the most major importers being Alvakalia. The firearms industry Zastava Arms was located in the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia and now is partly state-owned and produces small arms for Rovsnoska and as exports to friendly states. The most major importers of Rovsnoski goods are Albaterra, Austrasia, Gradinska, Destland and Lestykhol. Timber, uranium, textiles, crops, metal ores, and Zastava small arms have begun exportation to Austrasia since its recent observation of PaZ.

Major Imports

Rovsnoska's ethnic demography has been shaped by its history of wars in conflict. It is estimated that 400,000 people left Rovsnoska during the 1990s, many of whom had higher education. During the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation Rovsnoski forces deported a large number of Kryzhelovski and Yarovars, which greatly reduced their numbers in Rovsnoska. When Rovsnoska annexed Graznava in 2020 the number of Kryzhelovski citizens living in Rovsnoska increased, however, this came with a new wave of deportations to the newly formed South Kryzhelovschina.

Religion
The Rovsnoski people had been deeply religious since the Baptism of Ljudia in 988 CE. By the 11th century CE, the Svogda Patriarchate churches finally broke communion with the Western Catholic Church after centuries of gradual divergence, in which the Rovsnoski people embraced with open arms, and caused anti-semitic riots and killings. A minority of Islamic Samot were also present until The Kingdom of Rovsnoska became a territory of the Vojisky Empire and Islam was banned. The Rovsnoski government recognizes Svogda Patriarchate as the National Religion. It is estimated that almost 78% of Rovsnoski practice some form of organized religion.

After the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation religion was unbanned and gained massive state support. In 1999 Viktor Martić ordered the mass reconstruction of Svogda Patriarchate churches across Rovsnoska, and the refurbishing of the remainders of the Vojiskiy age. The Jewish peoples, although having an extremely small population within Rovsnoska, have also been officially recognized and supported in this process.

Education
Lower education in Rovsnoska is underfunded and poor. A large amount of school is dedicated to physical exercise and propagandizing the youth. The higher education of Rovsnoska is much higher quality and receives higher funding. The most prestigious school of Rovsnoska is the Rovsnoski National Academy of Science.

Children from the age of 5 to 16 are mandated to join the Legionary Youth were survival skills, military skills, and propaganda are taught. The goal of the Legionary Youth is to have children that are ideologically loyal and prepared to fight if an invasion of Rovsnoska were to occur. Some members of the Legionary Youth can advance to more sophisticated sects such as tanking, sniping, espionage, and piloting, these generally promise a higher rank and pay in the military.

Health
Rovsnoska currently implements a much like that of its successor, the UPRZ. All employees and self-employed persons must pay contributions to it. Contributions are based on a sliding scale, with wealthier members of society paying higher percentages of their income. Healthcare and medical institutions are under the supervision of the Minister and the Ministry of Health.

LGBT Rights
Homosexuality was officially banned in the UPRZ however homosexual relations remain illegal within Rovsnoska. Homosexuality is officially listed as a mental illness by the Ministry of Health. The Legionarska has raided a multitude of underground illegal gay night clubs and bars in the last 10 years. In the 1950s the UPRZ began propagandizing homosexuality as an infectious disease, a sentiment that has remained among Rovsnoska's highly religious and conservative society. Notable LGBT rights activist Nikolina Kralj was one of the most successful at disproving the many lies taught to the public about the LGBT until her arrest and disappearance in 2007.

Racial Attitudes
Rampant racism in Rovsnoska has been an issue since its early days as a governorate of the Vojiskiy Empire. The Rovsnoski government is partly to blame for the racism against Graznavans and Zaporizhians, as it has constantly demonized them as enemies of the state and traitors through mass propaganda. In 2006 a Graznavan blew himself up in a crowd at a market in the city of Pazin, killing 7 people and injuring 28, many of whom were young children. After that incident, a reported 7 Graznavans were lynched by various right-wing groups. Many incidents like this have happened since the Graznava-Rovsnoski ceasefire, usually ending with the death of innocent Graznavan citizens as repercussions. The writings of Nenad Umljenović have been said to inspire much of the extreme anti Yarovar sentiment, as his book, The Rovsnoski National, swayed a large amount of the Rovsnoski into the belief that the Yarovars will always continue to expand their empire and undermine the Rovsnoski people.

Art, film and theatre
The famous painter, Slavko Ignjatović, was born and raised in the Governorate of Rovsnoska as a child before migrating to Tiperyn after the Vojiskiy War. Slavko is famous for his unique paintings that were used, in his own words, "To convey extreme emotions in their purest forms." Slavko would go on to win many art awards and was voted as the 26th greatest Rovsnoski during the 2016 100 Greatest Rovsnoski television event.

Clothing
The Starica is the traditional dress of the Rovsnoski people, dating back to the Kingdom of Rovsnoska. The Starica varies greatly depending on what region of Rovsnoska, with many different colors, patterns, and even clothing types. For the female dress, the clothing consists of a plain white dress or blouse or underskirt, which is usually the basic form of the costume. It is then added with other clothing and decorations, which may include another overdress or skirt, a decorative jacket, apron, scarf, kerchief, or shawl which are usually decorated with a floral or animal motif.

Literature
The Rovsnoski Nationalist manifesto known as The Rovsnoski National (: Nacional Rovsnoski) was written in 1917 by Rovsnoski philosopher and soldier Nenad Umljenović. The Rovsnoski National is credited for being a major factor in inspiring the Rovsnoski Nationalism that would rapidly spread in the 1920s and various Rovsnoski Nationalist groups such as the Legija Death Corps and National Rovsnoski Legion. It is stated in Umljenović's writings that the Rovsnoski people are under the control of the Yarovars, and must gain independence by any means necessary. Many key points are that the Rovsnoski can only be lead successfully by one strong leader and are the rightful rulers of what he considered the "Greater Rovsnoski" area that includes Graznava and areas of Zaporizhia.

Media
The Head of Propaganda is in charge of broadcasting and advertisements in Rovsnoska. Over 90% of Rovsnoski citizens have reported that they spend at least 2 hours a day listening to radio broadcasts, whereas 83% of citizens say they watch television. Television and radio are both strictly controlled by the state and are filled with state propaganda. The most popular channels are the state news channel Rovsnoska Daily News, the Youth Channel, and Star Movies.

Music and dance
Kolo, or better known as the circle dance, is a popular folk dance performed at festivals and celebrations in Rovsnoska. Kolo is performed in a group of people (usually several dozen, at the very least three) holding each other's hands or having their hands around each other's waists whilst moving at a fast pace in a circle. There are many different variations depending on the region, with some dances being much slower, to different music, or with differing movements.

Military marches and are very popular among veterans of the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation and young members of the Legionary Youth. These marches include March of the Legija, The Deathly Fields, March of the Guardsmen, and Defenders of Nikopol. A large amount of Rovsnoski military songs come from the Legija Death Corps, with many being altered to fit the separation.

In recent years music has become a major part of Rovsnoski youth culture. Turbo-folk arose from smuggled Pojan electro music, of which Rovsnoski youth attempted to replicate and mix with the folk and military music that dominated Rovsnoski culture. Instead of banning this new form of music, the Rovsnoski government saw this as an opportunity to reignite nationalism among the teenagers, although not directly creating the music, but instead funding artists who intertwine nationalism into their music. The result of this is many songs being about bastardizing Yarova and member states of the YZAGA, while glorifying Rovsnoska and the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation, with some even saying God is a Rovsnoski. Turbo-folk has also been popular among the ulični "gangster" subculture.

Folk songs are extremely popular among rural Rovsnoska, with songs such as Milion ruža, Doviđenja, and Dark-Eyed One being heard across festivals and events through Rovsnoska. Many of these songs have been modernized with electric music to form the turbo-folk genre.

Sports
Rovsnoska has been a participant in the Anterra World cup since its independence and has been known to have highly fans and players. In the recent Anterra Cup 2020 Rovsnoska had a draw with both Lykore and Thuyiquakliq, and lost to Legantus. Rovsnoska's best player, Ivica Mornar, scored three goals this season. The 2020 World Cup has been the least violent cup for Rovsnoska, with little to no violence compared to the riots and stabbings of past cups.

In 2000 during a heated game between the newly formed nations of Zaporizhia and Rovsnoska violent clashes broke out between fans and players alike. Tensions were already high as both countries had recently come out of a civil war, which created a state of ethnic tension between both nations. 10 minutes into the game and the Rovsnoski player Robert Granić made a shot which appeared to go over the line, but was ruled out. 20 minutes into the game Zaporizhian player Vasilyev Yurievich reportedly hit Robert Granić in the genitals after much taunting from the Rovsnoski team and was red-carded, however, while walking away Granic returned a punch. This led to a brawl between both teams and many fans in the stadium. Local police would be called to disperse the riots. Both teams were disqualified.
