Rovsnoska

Rovsnoska (Rovsoski: Ровсноска), officially The Greater Rovsnoskin Imperium (Rovsoski: већи империјум ровсноскина), or more commonly Greater Rovsnoska (Rovsoski: већа ровсноска), is a dictatorship located in the Far East of Artemia with a population of around 15,374,642. Rovsnoska is a very recent country, leaving the United provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia in 1994 in a The Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation. This region has much grasslands and forests, allowing for a high export of crops and timber. Major exports of Rovsnoska are automotive parts and various refined ores, specifically uranium. Light munitions and a Rovsnoski made tank, the R-84 are also produced in Rovsnoska. The armed forces of Rovsnoska are well equipped, but with many out of date armor and weopons, but is being rapidly expanded. The governmental structure of Rovsnoska is very unique with the head of state being the Grand Marshal, who can be overridden by a unanimous vote by the Council of Ministers. This differs this system of fascism from many others by removing total power from the head of state.

Etymology
The name “Rovsnoska” comes from the name of the Rovsnoski people, the first settlers of the area.

History
Early History of Rovsnoska

The earliest sign of settlement and agriculture in Rovsnoska was around 42,000 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 Early East Slavs, and also a part of the East Slavic Confederacy of Ljudia from the late-9th century to the mid-13th century CE, and also encompassed a large area of present day Zaporiziah. During the early era of the Confederacy of Ljudia Christianity was introduced to the Slavs of the area quite easily, and the majority became highly devout followers. Many Christians in the area believed that the pagans were keeping God from seeing the goodness of the Christians, this resulted in a great purge of all pagans. Historians still don't know who incited the purges or the date, for it was barely recorded.

Over time the Slavs in Rovsnoska became more inwards and xenophobic as the confederacy crippled, and began forming their own culture and customs. They eventually became known as the Kingdom of Rovsnoski. The kingdom gained much land from conquest of smaller and weaker Slavic nations, until Tsar Svyetla took control of the crown around the late 13th century.

Governorate of Rovsnoska (1744-1926)

Through the 18ty century the Yarovan Vojisky Empire began a massive expansion and conquest of surrounding smaller countries as part of Vostochnoye Gospodstvo’s manifest destiny policies. After a year long war The Kingdom of Rovsnoska was annexed as a Governate of the Vojisky Empire in 1744, a year of neighboring Zaporiziah. The Governorate of Rovsnoska produced mainly a large amount of agriculture at the time and was used to feed the new empire, at the expense of the Rovsnoski people.

In the early 20th century a wave of nationalistic remorse hit the Rovsnoski people, and many separatist factions began popping up. Many of these factions had taken to heart the ideas of communism from the influence of Zaporizhian communists who were working towards a mass revolt and unification of the two Governorates. Many Rovsnoski began to follow Zaporizhia figures such as Vladimir Kurchatov, furthering the possibility of unification. Eventually independence was gained by the new nations, which became the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporiziah, and was lead by Kurchatov until his death in September 1926. The Yarovan Vojisky Empire soon collapsed due to domestic republican movements, and became a democratic state.

United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporiziah (1926-1994)

After the two states joined, Vladimir Kurchatov became the first president of the new United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia. Once a predominantly agricultural country, The United Provinces was transformed into a mid-range industrial country, and acquired an international reputation due too manufacturing Diesel engines. The United provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia was established as a federal state comprising two republics, from north to south: Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia. In 1943 Andre Marchotov the then head of the opposing party, was kidnaped beaten and shot. This sparked outrage in the country and almost caused a civil war, this was prevented due to martial law being declared and all opposition was destroyed. In 1968 oil was found in between Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia, the country had its economy boom with the new found wealth, two companies where formed out of it. Zapoatom a company made only to build and operate the new Reactors The UPRZ was building. And Rosuran a company that mined uranium. In 1972 the first hole was dug at Cherkasy Nuclear power plant, the plant would go online in 1980 and supply power too Sosnevika.

The collapse
In 1984 the oil ran out, slowly people got less and less and started to become unsettled, in 1993 a great famine struck the UPRZ killing thousands, this and the fact that the country had no economic growth lead too violence and civil unrest. Far right Rovsnoski Nationalist and strasserists, a combination of fascism and communism, riots began to occur more commonly day after day. In the same regard hardcore communist came to have a disdain for the current communist system that they believed was “false communism.” These communists and nationalists would routinely have street brawls that resulted in deaths. In 1994 a peaceful protest by farmers was brutally subdued. Each side blamed another for instigating the attack, causing more division. This sparked a costly and brutal civil war, and in the end the UPRZ was divided into two states, the south where the communists still had power, and the north west where the strasserists gained control. This later became Greater Rovsnoska. The south east became Zaporizhia. The civil war came to be know as The Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation.

Modern History
The first few years of Rovsnoska's independence were very difficult and greuling. The newly formed from the remnants of the UPRZ Secret Police, Legionary Secret Police, or LSP, rooted out and killed anarchists, republicans, and various ethnic minorities on mass. Zaporizhian 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 Kingdom of Versonnex due to their extremely anti-communist beliefs, and a pact that was made during the civil war ensuring future foreign aid. The first leader of Rovsnoska, Grand Marshal Artyom Verhenko, ruled with an iron fist and held regular public executions. Many isolationist policies were implemented by Verhenko which crippled the economy even further.

In 2002 the last of the communists were reportedly killed and was the same year Verhenko died from a stroke, and the Minister of Propaganda, Vikter Trevyok took power. Life was still very hard at this time, but conditions were beginning to improve. Trevyok removed Verhenko's isolationist policies, and even allowed for trade with Zaporizhia, of which would eventually become a strong economic partner. Trevyok 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 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.

Governance and administration
Strasserism is a strand of fascism that calls for a more radical, mass-action and worker-based revolution to achieve a national rebirth. The Grand Marshal is the supreme head of state, meaning all his decisions cannot be vetoed, unless a unanimous vote by the Council of Ministers was to occur. But in contrast each minister must have a law or decision approved by the Grand Marshal before implementation. The Council of Ministers itself is comprised of two parts, the elected ministers and the appointed councilmen. The elected ministers consist of Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Commerce, Minister of Health, Minister of Transportation, Minister of Industry, and Minister of Domestic Defense (Police). You must be 19, a member of the Iron Legion Party, have no criminal record, and be a Rosnovski citizen to vote. To vote for the Minister of Agriculture you must be a member of the Farmers League and to vote for the Minister of Industry you must be a member of the Workers League. The appointed ministers are the Minister of Propaganda, Minister of War, and the Foreign Relations Minister. These ministers are appointed by the Grand Marshall. The main focus of the Ministers is to limit the Grand Marshal from completely ruining the nation if they are making decisions that work against Rovsnoska, and to lift a large portion of duties off the Grand Marshal. The Minister of War appoints the Generalissimo of the Air Force, Army, and Legionary Guard, these can be replaced by the Grand Marshal as seen fit. The Minister of Defense appoints the head of the Legionary Secret Police.

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.

Air Force
The Air Force was established in 2000 using mostly old UPRZ aircraft, many of which still make up the bulk of the Air Force today. The Air Force 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 Force 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 Force bought 20 ZuB-12 Stervyatnik from Poja for training cadets, before this old crop dusters were being used for training, resulting in underskilled pilots. The ZuB-12 can also be equipped with munitions if more planes are needed in a war. If unauthorized or unidentifiable aircraft are spotted flying in Rovsnoski airspace, it is Air Force doctrine for ground defense units to stand down and for a fighter to intercept the aircraft the until further orders.
