Rovsnoska

Rovsnoska, officially the Greater Rovsnoski Republic (: Velikosrpska Republika), or more commonly Greater Rovsnoska (: Veća Rovsnoska), is a and authoritarian republic located in the Far East of Artemia with a population of around 49,774,642 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 an event known as the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. This region possesses an abundance of grasslands and forests, allowing for a high export of crops and timber. Major exports of Rovsnoska are automotive parts and various refined ores, specifically. Light munitions 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 The Grand Rovsnoski Armed Forces are well equipped, in spite of the many out of date armor and weaponry, which is being rapidly modernised. The maintenance of a large armed forces is vital as a detterent to members of the rival YZAGA. 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
The name “Rovsnoska” comes from the name of the Rovsnoski people, of which are the descendents of Pojan Adjinua who split culturally as they moved northwards and conquered the area of present day Rovsnoska.

Early History
The earliest sign of settlement and agriculture in Rovsnoska was around 11,000 BCE due to mammoth and mega sloth bones being found in archeological digs of ancient villages. The first settlers of Rovsnoska were believed to be nomadic Early Southern Slavs who came from present day Yarova including Yarovars, Khazers, and Saratofians. Around this time a great migration of the Adjinua people came to modern day southern Rovsnoska were they clashed with Yarovars, Khazers, and Seratofian, killing a large amount of them and becoming the majority in the region. The majority of Seratofians were forced out and migrated west to form Seratof. The Adjinuans who now ruled the area would split both culturally and ethnically as they mixed with the Yarovars, but continued to speak the Adjinuan language, these became the Rovsnoski. A small number of Rovsnoski also settled in present day Yarova, Poja, Lestykhol and Zaporizhia. A large portion of modern day Rovsnoski was also territory of the East Slavic Confederacy of Ljudia at the time. In 988 CE Pyotr the Pious of Ljudia introduced the Rovsnoski to Christianity, which was easily adopted.

Kingdom of Rovskemlja (1220-1744)
Around 1220 the Kingdom of Rovskemlja was formed by uniting the scattered Rovsnsoski tribes under one Tsar. This event coincided with the fall of the East Slavic Confederacy of Ljuidia, allowing for expansion east. Through conquest of smaller and ununified slavic states the Kingdom of Rovsnoska was able to expand its borders much further. This conquest was ended by Tsar Taryinchi Pripyat I and his anti-war sentiments. Around 1538 the Zaporizhian of Zemlya Gor was absorbed into the Kingdom of Rovskemlija, this was the final major expansion of the Kingdom.

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. Following the conclusion of a year-long war, the Kingdom of Rovskemlija was annexed as a (guberniya) of the Vojisky Empire in 1744, just one year after the annexation of neighboring Zaporizia. The Governorate of Rovsnoska was utilised, principally, as an agricultural province to produce food supplies for the empire's growing populace, at the expense, of course, of the Rovsnoski.

In the early 20th century, a wave of sentiment hit the Rovsnoski people, with the springing up of a multitude of separatist factions, many inspired by the writings of Nenad Umljenović. The Legija Death Corps, and ultra nationalist militia had taken control of Krevnigrad and large parts of southern Rovsnoska early in the war. Meanwhile, a republican revolt was beginning to reach boiling point in Yarova Proper. A large amount of the Rovsnoski nationalist factions had adopted the ideals of communism, gaining influence from energised Zaporizhian rebel leaders like Vladimir Kurchatov. These communist groups would clash with both the Legija and Imperial forces, eventually driving the Legija out of Krevnigrad in 1925. Kurchatov, a proponent of Rovsnoski-Zaporizhian unification, received widespread support among impoverished Rovsnoski share-croppers, which furthered the possibility of a joint-insurrection. 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. 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.

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 president 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 was established as a comprising two republics, from west to east: Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia. In 1943, Andre Marchotov, the then-leader of the opposing party, was kidnapped, beaten and shot. The assassin, Mislav Bešić, was an associate with various anarchist groups in the UPRZ and was hung a few days later without trial. This sparked nationwide outrage and almost ignited into a civil war between the Rovsnoski and Zaporizhians. However, this was successfully prevented due to a declaration of, which was utilised as a mechanism to swiftly repress all opposition before it could organise.

Białemorze Conflict (1942-1944)
The Kingdom of Gradinska, a monarchy bordering Rovsnoska's west, fell into an economic depression in 1934 after [Insert King] implemented [bad policy]

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 dependent on its surplus of oil.

Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation (1994-1998)
In the late-1970s, Zaporizhia's oil resources 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 40,000 Rovsnoskar-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 fascist 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 took 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, Legionary Secret Police, or LSP, rooted out and killed anarchists, communists, republicans, and various ethnic minorities on mass. Communist guerrillas also continued to commit terror attacks after the war indiscriminately. Most factories were destroyed from 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 republic with a one party system, but many authoritarian aspects continue today. Life was still very hard at this time, but conditions were beginning to improve. Perica removed Viktor Martić's isolationist 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 that same year In 2007 a boom of industrialization and jobs revitalised the Rovsnoski economy. Many automotive factories, munitions factories, uranium mines, coal mines, and uranium refineries sprang up across the nation. The majority of these in the industrial city of Rasnaya. Destroyed roads, railway systems, and schools were rebuilt in this time too. Around this time the military also began rapid expansion and renovation.

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.

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. 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.

National Syndicalist Legion
The National Syndicalist Legion, (:  Nacionalna Sindikalna 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. NSL rose during the economic depression and famines that ravaged the UPRZ during the late 70s' to 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 Syndicalist Legion have a much higher chance of gaining any high positions.

Foreign relations
Rovsnoska heads the Pact of Iron, 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 Helinika 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.

Rovsnoska heavily relies on Helinika's ports as means of export and import due to the hostility of neighboring nations. The necessity for Helinikan ports has kept Rovsnoski-Helinikan relations very warm. Helinika is also one of the founding nations of the PaZ and has worked with Rovsnoska in multiple counter insurgency operations in Southern Rovsnoska.

Yarova and Rovsnoska currently share a highly militarized border that Yarova set up during the civil war to prevent any conflict from spilling over into Yarovar territory. Relations with Yarova are extremely strained due to their support for the Graznavans during the civil war and their acts to prosecute Rovsnoski war criminals.

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 PaZ, 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 defence 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. 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 with partisan tactics. The entire Rovsnoski population was to be engaged in armed resistance, armaments production, and civil defence 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, 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 signifigant ground.

Rovsnoski Air Defense Force
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 Sukhoi. To fill in a lack of transport vehicles, the Air Defense came up with the Sapiv design. The Sapiv Sv-70 can also be used as a gunship and a modified version, the Sapiv Sv-30 was a Sapiv Sv-26 turned into a reconnaissance plane by Yarova, no longer used by Yarova, but still in Rovsnoski use. 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 air defense systems and anti-air guns.

Grand Rovsnoski Army
The Grand Rovsnoski Army (: Vojska Grand Rovsnoski) is the conventional military of Rovsnoska. The Grand Army is tasked with defending the integrity of Rovsnoskas borders from exterior and interior threats and project regional power. The Grand Rovsnoski Army was formed in 1994 from Rovsnoski UPRZ units. Currently in the Grand Army there are around 480,000 personnel, 6,500 tanks, 7,000 armored combat vehicles, and 500 aircraft. Legionarska

Legionary Guard
The Legionary Guard (: Vojska Grand Rovsnoski) are the elite fighting force of the Rovsnoski Military, tasked with preventing coups, keeping internal order, and guarding the leadership of Rovsnoska. The Legionary Guard also fights alongside the Grand Army as elite-shock troops. All soldiers of the Legionary Guard must be a member of the National Syndicalist Legion and swear loyalty to the Grand Marshal and Rovsnoska. Formed in 1994, the Legionary Guard currently has around 90,000 personnel. Most special forces units and all civilian defense units fall under the command of the Legionary Guard.

Policija
The Policija, officially the National Police Agency (: Nacionalna Policijska Agencija) are the regular law enforcement of Rovsnoska, tasked with protection of individual life, security and integrity, protection of property, traffic and road safety, prevention and detection of criminal offences, misdemeanors, violations, search for perpetrators of criminal offences, misdemeanors, and violations, and riot control.

Legionarska
Originally formed from UPRZ Ministry for State Security agents who took to the Rovsnoski side during the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation, the Legionarska, short for Legionary Police of the Rovsnoski People (: Legionarska Policija naroda Rovsnoskog) are the official state security service of Rovsnoska. The Legionarska are tasked with monitoring "dissidents" and enemies of the state, maintaining and running prison camps, countering the spread of contraband, and the execution of enemies of the state. Activity of the Legionarska in recent years includes multiple raids on illegal bars, ethnic deportations, the raiding of communist printing presses and hideouts and execution of those working it, the capturing of various foreign agents, infiltration of the United Bolshevik Front, and the arrest of political opposition. The Legionarska are also credited with the discovery and raids of multiple gay bars and clubs after homesexuality was officially outlawed in 1999.

Members of the Legionarska have also been suspected of acting as spies and infiltrators within nations near Rovsnoska. It has been officially reported that the Legionarska has an active presence within Graznava and areas of Yarova. The Legionarska are also accused of the 2014 attempt to kill then-General Secretary Yunkin Borisovich of the People's Republic of Graznava.

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.

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, Helinika and Lestykhol. Timber, uranium, textiles, crops, metal ores and Zastava small arms have began exportation to Austrasia since its recent observation of PaZ.

Major Imports
Rovsnoska's major imports include petroleum, industrial machinery, wine, and chemical products. Sugar, coffee, and various fruits are imported from Albaterra. Chemical and fish products are imported from Lestykhol. In recent years since Austrasia has began observing PaZ trade between Austrasia and Rovsnoska has greatly increased, and Rovsnoska now imports transmissions, machine tools, and integrated circuits from Austrasia.

Cities
The cities with a population over one million of Rovsnoska and their populations are Krevnigrad (pop.3,836,227), Šibenik (pop.2,783,553), Rasnaya (pop.2,356,365), Kvilia (pop.1,032,822), and Varažidin (pop.1,005,371). Other major cities are Rozhok (pop.796,217), Kameshki (pop.717,803), and Pazin (pop.652,380).

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 recognises Svogda Patriarchate as the National Religion. It is estimated that almost 78% of Rovsnoski practice some form of organised religion.

After the Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation religion was banned 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 propagandising 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 where 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 where 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 universal health care system much like that of its successor, the UPRZ. Healthcare and medical institutions are under the supervision of the Minister and Ministry of Health.

LGBT Rights
Homosexuality was officially banned in the UPRZ however homesexual relations remain illegal within Rovsnoska. Homosexuality is officially listed as a mental illness by the Ministry of Health. The Legionarska have 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 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 suicide bomber 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 Poja after the Vojiskiy War. Slavko is famous for his unique abstract paintings that were used, in his own words, "To convey extreme emotions in their purest forms."

Clothing
The Starica is the traditional dress of the Rovsnoski people, dating back to the Kingdom of Rovsnoska. The Starica varies greatly depedning 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. The embroidery is very intricate and is usually red, white, blue, gold, or black. Her jewellery, ranging from necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings could consist of gold, silver, beads, and pearls. For the males, the national dress usually consists on loose, wide slacks and a shirt, and both are usually either black or white, or both. The man may wear a decorative or plain vest, over his shirt, and possibly a waistcoat. The man almost always wears a cap, varying in shape and design depending on the region.

Athletic clothing and jeans have been popular in recent years with the ulični subculture.

Cuisine
Stews, specifically and, are extremely popular foods within Rovsnoska. Various sausages, pastries, and cheeses can be found regularly around various parts of Rovsnoska. Vodka is served in various forms with almost every dish.

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 Syndicalist 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 differing variations depending on the region, with some dances being much slower, to different music, or with differing movements.

Military marches and hymns 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 bastardising 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.

Sports
Rovsnoska has been a participant in the Anterra World cup since its independence and has been known to have highly chauvinistic 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.

Alcoholism and Gang Issues
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.

In recent years the subculture known as the ulični have become a prevalent issue within the Rovsnoski youth. Ulični are 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 organised 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 from 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.
