Prabhat

Prabhat (Prabhati: प्रभात, Prabhāt), formally known as the Kingdom of Prabhat (Prabhati: प्रभात राज्य, Prabhāta Rājya) is a  located southeast of the continent of Kesh. The Kingdom of Prabhat has a territorial area of 480,000 square kilometers that covers tropical and alpine areas and a population that reaches 47 million inhabitants made up of a mixture of native and migrant ethnic groups united in the majority language which is, derived from. Prabhat has coasts to the Tethys Ocean to the east and south of the country. The city of Bhāgya serves as the capital of the country, which has a federal division system.

Prabhat adopts the federal constitutional monarchy as a form of government. The King of Prabhat is the head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of government, while the legislative power is divided between an upper house called the Prabhat Royal Council and a lower house called the Prabhat National Assembly. The federal system of division is based on the existence of 20 regions with a certain level of autonomy, which includes a government, its own unicameral assembly and its own constitution under the Prabhat Constitution. The 20 regions that make up Prabhat are as follows, in alphabetical order: Anāratta, Bhitora, Bolukkia, Godavari, Kōlagāvara, Lātūrayānnī, Madjā, Maharunā, Maliba, Malimāra, Nandūrashi, Nāngara, Rendozeshah, Szattara, Tangli, Tughluka, Tylakolia, Vidarala and Yavin. The Autonomous City of Bhāgya has a special political system as it's the capital of the nation, having much more autonomy and being governed directly by the King of Prabhat.

The peoples of Prabhat have been part of the South Kesh coastal cultural region since the beginning, the first people to set foot on the territory were Northern nomads who settled in the fertile areas. From the beginning, two cultural cores can be distinguished: the area of Tughluka and Vidarala, where city-states were founded on the coast of the Tethys Ocean, and the area of Nāngara and Bhitora, where city-states were established on Lake Devana. In these two cores, kingdoms and federations were gradually formed that expanded throughout the rest of the Prabhat territories and shared the same culture and language: Sanskrit. This cultural and linguistic union caused different ethnic groups to come together forming diverse empires of long duration, to finally form the Kingdom of Prabhat, which adopted Prabhati, a language derived from Sanskrit, as its official language.

Prabhat's economy is highly diversified, having a powerful primary sector based on the plantation of tropical crops in the north and center of the country, and extensive agriculture in the flatter and temperate areas of the south, in addition to significant mining in the Western mountain ranges. At the same time, it has a strong industry which exports manufactured products to other nations, and a growing service sector, especially in the area of tourism due to the great attraction of Prabhat's natural and cultural wealth.

Etymology
Linguists have come to the conclusion that the word "Prabhat" comes from Sanskrit (the language from which Prabathi comes and was commonly spoken in ancient times) and that it means "dawn" or "sunrise". Because of this, the concept of dawn has historically taken hold, symbolizing Prabhat as a dawn for those who migrate there and also as a state in constant dawn for their prosperity. This concept is included in the national flag, which has a flower and a sun symbolizing the dawn of the nation.

Geography
Prabhat is located in Southeast Kesh and occupies a total area of ​​488,575 km2 (188,640 sq mi). It is bordered to the southwest by the country of South Kesh, to the south and east by the Tethys Ocean, which has various interior sections such as the Tebih Bay, the Tylakian Sea and the Bhāgyan Bay. These coasts have a large number of islands, the largest and most prominent being Anvēṣaka Island in the Tylakian Sea, in the south of the country. While the south and east are low relief areas, the west is dominated by the Mahendra Range, a long mountain range in Southeast Kesh. Upon entering Prabhati territory, the Mahendra Range splits abruptly forming a sub-range to the north, which is called the Navīna Sub-Range. In these high-altitude mountain ranges, snow accumulates in the winter and melts in the summer, giving rise to the formation of important rivers in the country such as the Tyla River, the Nandur River and the Vida River. A special case is the Devana River, which begins at Devana Lake and flows into the Thetys Ocean north of Prabhat. The Devana Lake is the largest terrestrial body of water in Prabhat, being a water lake born thanks to several rivers coming from the Navīna Sub-Range, and that together with the Devana River forms an exotic ecosystem called Devana Basin in which there are unique life forms.

Prabhat's highest peak is Mount Lādata of the Navīna Sub-Range in the Maharunā region, at 4,579 meters high. The second highest peak is Mount Vhiktara (4,489 meters) also from the Navīna Sub-Range in Maharunā, and the third highest peak is Garjanā Volcano (4,435 meters), a dormant volcano since its last eruption in 1908, located in the main section of Mahendra Range in Dendrapur. The fourth highest peak is Sapphire Peak (4,411 meters) of the Mahendra Range in Bolukkia, and the fifth highest peak is Mount Himācchā (4,395 meters) of the Navīna Sub-Range in Maharunā.

Climate
Prabhat's territory includes 6 climates according to the Köppen climate classification: Tropical Monsoon (Am), Dry-Winter Tropical Savanna (Aw), Humid Subtropical (Cfa), Dry-Winter Humid Subtropical (Cwa), Hot Semi-Arid (BSh) and Alpine Tundra (ET). The Tropical Monsoon climate is distributed along the east coast inland, where it transits to Dry-Winter Tropical Savanna. This climate is thanks to the monsoons that occur on the east coast, which affect the temperature and rainfall. The south of the country is dominated by the Dry-Winter Humid Subtropical climate in the northern limit, which is influenced by the monsoon system of the east coast, and the Humid Subtropical climate in the southern and western areas, which is more stable for not being very affected by the monsoons. In the central-west of the country, the mountain ranges totally modify the weather patterns creating an Alpine Tundra climate zone in them and a vast region of Hot Semi-Arid climate to the west of these mountains, due to the fact that the mountains prevent the passage of rainfall to this area being dominated by dry winds.

In the area of the east coast and the capital city of Bhāgya, monsoons cause most of the rains to fall during the summer, causing several rivers to overflow, which can cause flooding in the cities adjacent to these rivers. However, the intensity of the monsoons is less than on the coasts of the countries north of Prabhat, and there is an prepared infrastructure for decades, reducing the danger of these floods. Winter is mostly dry, allowing longer hours of sunlight in winter than in summer. Bhāgya receives an average of around 2,200 hours of sunshine per year.

Government
The Prabhat government consists of an executive branch assumed by the King of Prabhat who delegates his power to the President, who heads the Cabinet of Ministers, which is in charge of the administration of the nation. The legislative branch is represented by the Prabhat General Courts, which consists of an upper house called the Prabhat Royal Council, and a lower house called the Prabhat National Assembly. In national democratic elections, the members of the Prabhat National Assembly are elected, who elect the members of the Royal Prabhat Council. For his part, the king appoints the President who is from the winning party or coalition. While the National Assembly is made up of 250 members elected directly by the national population, the Prabhat Royal Council is made up of 42 members, 2 for each first-level territorial division, who represent the interests of their regions in the national government. All citizens of Prabhat over 18 participate in democratic elections, without any racial, gender or economic distinction, as dictated by the National Constitution. Voting is mandatory from 18 years to 75 years. These elections are held every 4 years to elect the executive branch and every 2 years to elect the legislative branch.

Prabhat's Politics is special because it is multiparty in nature, as it does not have two dominant left and right parties but rather several parties with a varied political orientation, which make up a pluralized and diversified assembly. This can lead to problems in decision-making due to indecision, although these parties tend to form coalitions and political diversity favors citizen participation and the exchange of ideas, resulting in a more centrist and pragmatic ideology of government. Historically, the political scene was more polarized, as there was a bipartisanship between the National Prabhati Congress (left) and the Prabhat People’s Party (right). Currently, the government is led by the coalition Alliance for Development and Equality, a socioliberal, progressive and environmentalist coalition, formed by the National Prabhati Congress (center-left), the Constitutional Centrist Party (center) and the Green Party (center-left). The president is Anusha Chaudhari, a woman politician and a member of the National Prabhati Congress. The Alliance for Development and Equality won the last elections in 2019 with 43% of the vote, one of the most favorable results for a party in Prabhat's history.

Monarchy
The current king of Prabhat is Shivaji II, a member of the Bhāgayari Dynasty, which has reigned since the formation of the Prabhat Kingdom. The king has the executive power according to the National Constitution, and is also the ruler of the Autonomous City of Bhāgya, where the Palace of Bhāgya is located, residence of the king. The king has the power to make decrees and deny new laws, as long as these actions are approved by the Royal Council of Prabhat.

The system of monarchical succession is called Nivaḍa (निवड), and it is a mixed system between the hereditary monarchy and the elective monarchy. The Royal Council of Prabhat elects the successor of the king, who must be a member of the Bhāgayari Dynasty. This election is based on crowning the person most apt to rule in the dynasty, that is, the member with the most qualities, intellectual capacity, and personality to lead the nation. The Nivaḍa has led the monarchy to abolish gender distinctions and adopt a rigorous system of education and instruction for the members of the dynasty, so that people fit to rule can be trained. The last two elected monarchs have been the king's firstborn.

Judiciary
The Judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches in Prabhat, and is governed by the Prabhat National Constitution. The head of the Judiciary and highest court is the Supreme Court of Justice, which is based in the Palace of Justice in Bhāgya. It is composed of 5 members appointed by the King in agreement with the Prabhat Royal Council, which requires a two-thirds majority for this. The Supreme Court is the highest national court empowered to deliver justice in Prabhat, so its rulings can only be challenged before authorized international bodies. Below the Supreme Court of Justice are the 21 federal courts, which have jurisdiction over each of the 21 federal divisions. The third and final level of courts are the District Courts, which have jurisdiction over the districts, the level of administrative division below the regions.

There is another independent body of the Judiciary but of a similar nature called the Prabhat Constitutional Court, a body of national jurisdiction, in charge of enforcing the primacy of the constitution, interpreting it and exercising control of the constitutionality of the laws. This court is subject only to the National Constitution and its own organic law, and the 15 magistrates that compose it are appointed by the King in agreement with the Prabhat Royal Council and the President.

Administrative Divisions
Prabhat's federal system is made up of political subjects of necessary and inexorable existence according to the Prabhat Constitution, made up of three levels: regions, districts and municipalities. At the first administrative level are the 19 regions and the Autonomous City of Bhāgya.

The Prabhat regions are self-governing, have their own constitution subject to the National Constitution, have their own executive, legislative and judicial powers and their own police forces. The governments of these regions have the powers to administer their internal affairs, including security, education, health, industry, finance and other areas, and may be attached to the national government programs in these areas. These regions in turn are divided into districts and these into municipalities. In the case of the Autonomous City of Bhāgya, it is a special political subject that, in addition to having the autonomous functions of the other regions, has other powers. This city has the title of national capital and therefore the seat of the national government, it is inhabited by approximately 8,000,000 people and has a long history as the seat of the throne of the Kings of Prabhat, therefore its special legal status is established that the city is governed directly by the King of Prabhat, who fully assumes the executive functions.

Foreign Affairs
Prabhat's foreign policy is focused on ensuring the integrity of the Prabhati people, defending Prabhat's territorial and economic sovereignty, and bringing Prabhat's economy to regional and global integrity, forging ties with neighboring nations for regional cooperation and establishing relationships with the rest of the world to keep Prabhat connected to the global economy. The Prabhat government is open to signing Free Trade Agreements with other nations to reduce trade barriers and promote economic cooperation. The Prabhat government is required not to intervene in international conflicts unless there is a clear violation of human rights, Prabhat's interests are undermined or neighboring nations with which Prabhat has an alliance are attacked. Because Prabhat has no specific hostile relationships with any alliance or coalition, the arms sale is available to almost everyone, although the sales must be analyzed and accepted by the king.

Prabhat is one of the countries that least ask citizens of other nations for a visa to be visited. This is due to a government policy taken since the end of the 20th century by the government to promote the arrival of international tourists to Prabhat, due to the fact that the country has a large number of tourist attractions. Few countries require a visa and it is mostly because they are hostile or unstable nations.

Economy
The Kingdom of Prabhat has a free market economy, mainly oriented to the export of raw materials and manufactured products, although in recent decades the service sector has been growing. The great territorial extension has allowed the historical states of Prabhat to access a large amount of natural resources, which has allowed them to create an economic power of great weight in the South Kesh region, allowing Prabhat to be considered an emerging power. As there is a not so large population in a territory with a large amount of natural resources, Prabhat has good living rates compared to the rest of the countries in the region, and poverty has drastically decreased since industrialization, although income inequality remains an existing problem.

Prabhat's nominal GDP amounts to $1.035 Trillion, the GDP PPP amounts to $1.122 Trillion, the GDP PPP per capita is $23,400 and the GDP (nominal) per capita is $21,600, which puts him in a privileged position in his region. Prabhat's diversified economy is dominated by the service sector that makes up 56.4% of GDP. The rest is made up of the industrial sector with 32.6% and the primary sector with 11%. This makes Prabhat a special nation among industrialized nations because of the still existing importance of the primary sector. Financial services and banking are the main sources of income for the Prabhati economy. The Prabhat Stock Exchange, established in 1867, is the main stock exchange in the country and is private in nature. The government regulates financial activities through a state body called the Prabhati Securities and Exchange Commission. Another important industry in the service sector is tourism, which is widely expanded thanks to Prabhat's cultural and natural wealth.

Prabhat has an advanced industry in technology and electronic products with several major companies originating in the country. The two most important tech giants, Adhunikata and Ilektro, are multinational conglomerates specialized in the production of electronic entertainment and communication products, household appliances, software and other sections of the service sector. The growth of these two conglomerates has been exponential since the 1990s, managing to offer their products and services to the vast majority of Anterra countries. The exponential growth in these two technological giants throughout Anterra has made them symbols of Prabhat, contributing to their presence and fame in the world. Secondly, the Vāhatūka automotive group is important in Prabhat and the South Kesh region for the production and export of high quality cars, trucks, motorcycles and more recently civil aircraft, being Prabhat's main vehicle manufacturer and an important contribution to the industrial sector of the nation.

Agriculture and Livestock
Agriculture has been the main economic activity throughout Prabhat's history. In the tropical monsoon areas located on the eastern coast, and less so in the tropical savannas of the interior of the country, the production of tropical crops such as rice, bananas, tea, sugar cane, rubber, coffee, cocoa, coconut, citrus fruits an pineapple has developed. Prabhat is also a great producer of spices (which are very present in its gastronomy) such as pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, mustard, black mustard, cumin, turmeric, coriander, mint and saffron. Due to the long agricultural history of the tropics, which have been the source of food for all the historic peoples of Prabhat, production is represented by retail producers and not by large estates, which allows a competitive internal market that can be accessed by a large number of consumers of different economic levels.

Where there is a large number of large estates is in the extreme south of the country, which has a subtropical climate suitable for intensive agriculture. Since the industrial revolutions, that introduced the use of fertilizers and machinery that triggered agricultural production, large estates have been established in this area for the production of wheat, soybeans, barley, corn and other crops of commercial importance for export to the international market, which has positioned Prabhat as a competitive nation in the agricultural market. Prabhat is also a large wine producer thanks to the cultivation of vines in the subtropical regions, especially in the extreme southwest, which has characteristics similar to the Mediterranean climate and therefore is an ideal region for its cultivation. An important livestock sector has also developed in the subtropical and tropical savanna areas, which thanks to the large amount of land owned by Prabhat, positions the country as a major producer of meat, wool, milk and eggs, which are destined for the national and international market.

Fishing and Aquaculture
Fishing has historically been an important economic activity thanks to Prabhat's long ocean coastline, allowing it to access ocean shoals. Furthermore, a good number of fish abound in inland waters such as the Tylakian Sea and the Bhāgyan Bay. The Tylakian people have a great fishing tradition that dates back centuries, due to their great connection to the sea. On the other hand, the peoples of the Basin Devana have taken advantage of the large number of freshwater fish that abound in the Devana Lake, the Devana River and other rivers that form the basin. In the 20th century, fishing evolved into an industrial-scale practice, which has given Prabhat economic benefits but at the same time has affected the marine ecosystem and reduced the number of fish in shoals, so the government has had to take steps to ensure that fishing is carried out in a sustainable manner.

Fishing has been gradually replaced by aquaculture because aquaculture has less ecological impact and more economic returns. Aquaculture has been going on since the Medieval Age, when shrimp were raised in small-scale ponds. Since the 20th century, aquaculture has grown exponentially and has benefited from government policies that plan to replace fishing with aquaculture. Most of Prabhat's aquaculture is made up of mariculture, as Prabhat has numerous offshore mariculture facilities where fish, molluscs, crustaceans and algae are grown. Most of the mariculture is for saltwater species, but there are facilities at Devana Lake and other lakes for the cultivation of freshwater species. One of the policies taken to favor aquaculture has been to use genetic modification so that fish species are more fertile, mature more quickly and are resistant to diseases, increasing the quantity and quality of fish. With the decline in fishing performance, national private companies have started to invest in aquaculture, supporting government efforts for its growth. Currently 56% of the fish destined for human consumption in Prabhat comes from aquaculture.

Mining
Mining in Prabhat benefits from existing mountain ranges in Bhitora, Bolukkia, Godavari, Maharunā and Szattara, which are divided into two sections (the Mahendra Range and the Navīna Sub-Range). The Mahendra Range is rich in silver, zinc, lead, iron and bauxite, while the Navīna Sub-Range is rich in gold, copper, platinum, lithium and iron. The existence of these mineral reserves has managed to Prabhat maintain a certain self-sufficiency that made possible the early emergence of the industry and its prosperity. However, the quantity of these reserves is limited and the self-sufficiency that Prabhat has achieved appears to be in danger, prompting the government to carry out huge mining prospects in the 1990s, with positive results, to maintain mining self-sufficiency and not increase imports. Despite these mining prospects, the long-term durability of this mining self-sufficiency remains in doubt.

The discovery of large deposits of uranium located in the Navīna Sub-Range in 1949 led to the development of a large nuclear power industry in Prabhat and the export of uranium, which has positioned Prabhat as one of the most advanced nations in the nuclear energy sector. These uranium deposits have attracted a large number of international investors and companies, which has favored the growth of the interior regions and the economy in general.

Energy
The energy sources in Prabhat are nuclear power with 71%, fossil fuels with 14%, renewable energies (mainly hydroelectric) with 11% and bio-fuels with 4%. The Prabhat mountain ranges have supplied coal that has supplied Prabhat with energy for several decades, these coal reserves being quite limited at present, as is the little oil that exists. In the Rendozeshah and Maharunā regions there are extensive reserves of natural gas which are the main component of the fossil fuels used. The energy policy on natural gas has been to reduce its national use to sell it at competitive prices in the international market. Renewable energies are mainly hydroelectric dams located in the rivers of the center and south of the country. Solar and wind power have multiplied in recent years, mostly thanks to the sunny areas of the hot northwestern steppes and the coastal monsoon winds. Bio-fuels have flourished in the south of the country thanks to the land suitable for mass cultivation of corn to produce biomass, while part of the sugar cane produced in the center and north of the country is also destined for bio-fuels.

Nuclear energy is the main source of energy in the country, thanks to the large amounts of uranium existing in the mountain ranges. These uranium deposits were discovered in 1949, so the Prabhati Nuclear Program began in the 1950s for peaceful purposes as one of the first South Kesh nations to use nuclear energy. Most of the nuclear power plants are located in the Bhitora region, popularly called "the nuclear region" due to the high nuclear infrastructure that it possesses thanks to its proximity to the uranium deposits. The energy efficiency, reduced spending and minimal pollution of nuclear power plants had led the Prabhati government to focus on nuclear energy, investing large amounts of money that have managed to bring nuclear energy to current energy figures, by owning modern nuclear power plants of third-generation fission already start small efforts in the last decade for the development of nuclear fusion, and caused the population and political parties of Prabhat to have fully accepted that.

Tourism
Prabhat has been visited by 39 million international tourists in 2020, an increase of 2 million over the 37 million tourists who visited the country in 2019. This number makes Prabhat the most visited country in Southeastern Kesh and one of the most visited countries in the world. The most important tourist activities are ecotourism, coastal tourism and cultural tourism, thanks to the large number of nature reserves, beaches and cultural sites that the country has.

Coastal Tourism
Coastal tourism is one of the favorite activities of international tourists visiting Prabhat, because the beach conditions are ideal to attract tourists. In the summer the temperature ranges between 25° C and 30 °C, the weather is mostly sunny, the water has mild temperatures and the beaches have an important hotel and leisure infrastructure. The recreational activities carried out on these beaches are multiple, for example sunbathing, doing sports on the beach such as volleyball or water sports such as surfing.

The best known and most visited beach is undoubtedly Nilāgĕhena beach in Bhāgya (capital of the country), which is the beach with the largest hotel infrastructure in the country and where a large number of events are held such as the New Year's Party, that attract a large number of national and international visitors. However, there are much more attractive beaches such as Ulujavur and Sundaratha in Vidarala, Lōhana in Tughluka and Javanek in Malimarā, which attract many visitors due to their crystal clear waters and the large number of marine animals in their bays. The beaches of Krĕga and Bōldara in Anarattā are famous for being bays full of rocky islands which have vegetation on their tops. Sailing between the rocky islands with canoes are the favorite activities on these beaches.

Largest Cities
Most of the population of Prabhat is concentrated in urban areas, and in turn most of the urban areas are concentrated on the coast. The three most populous cities are Bhāgya, Thiruvadar and Firakēndra, which have more than one million inhabitants. The metropolitan area of Thiruvadar is the second most populated with 3,156,068 inhabitants, and the metropolitan area of Firakēndra occupies the third place, reaching 2,056,931 inhabitants. The metropolitan area of Bhāgya, which occupies a large part of the federal territory of the Autonomous City of Bhāgya, is the most populated metropolitan area in the country, reaching 5,460,155 inhabitants. The city of Bhāgya reached its population thanks to owning the title of national capital for several centuries, while Thiruvadar has been an important population center in the history of Prabhat thanks to being located on the Devana River. Firakēndra has experienced a demographic explosion since the 20th century thanks to being an important port from which products are exported to other countries, a situation favored by being at the mouth of the Devana River.

Ethnicity
The largest ethnic group in Prabhat are the Bhāgyavāna (38.6%), who mostly occupy the center of the country, dominating the capital city of Bhāgya. The second largest ethnic group are the Devanasūna (35.4%) who occupy the north and northeast of the country, dominating important cities such as Thiruvadar and Firakēndra. The Bhāgyavāna and the Devanasūna are related ethnic groups that form the Bhāgyan-Devanasūnan ethnic family, so they share the same appearance: a color tone that varies from brown to slightly white.

The third largest ethnic group is the Tylakians (15.7%), who occupy much of the south of the country, with the majority in the region that bears their name, Tylakolia. They have a whitish skin tone as they are adapted to their native subtropical climate, which has less solar impact than the central and northern regions. The fourth largest ethnic group is the Rendoshian (9.3%) who are concentrated in the northwest of the country, in the Rendozeshah and Maharunā regions. They have a much darker skin tone than the rest of the ethnic groups because their native climate is semi-desert. The fifth largest ethnic group is the Austro-Tylakian (2%), a mix between Tylakians and Austronesian peoples, who have similarities to the Tylakians but have a darker skin tone. The rest of the ethnic groups in the country are migrants from other nations, especially from the Southern Kesh and Eastern Kesh countries, or ethnic groups from neighboring nations that have accumulated on the border with them.
