Geography
Cezakia occupies a total landmass of 104,850 km2 in Eastern Artemia. It is a landlocked nation and resides on the northern edge of the Central Artemian craton resulting in a range of different geographic features and geographic variety. Cezakia’s south and south east is largely comprised of a mountain range which separates Cezakia from its southern neighbour, with alpine forests spread throughout the south. However, the Cezak alps transition into steppes and then into barrens as they taper into northern Cezakia in which the Cezak capital and majority of the population resides due to its flatter and easier to access topography.

Defense

 * See more: Cezak Royal Armed Forces

The Cezak Royal Armed Forces (Cezak: Cecsakien Koneglandeswaght) is made up of a combination of the of land (Cezak: Cecsakien Armie) and air forces (Cezak: Cecsakien luchtwaght) and is the acting military force of the Principality of Cezakia. The Cezak military is primarily tasked with the defense of Cezakia and its long term territorial integrity and as such maintains no long term overseas deployments instead opting to participate in joint training and peacekeeping operations internationally as a means to continually improve the nations defense capabilities and expertise. Under the country's conscription system, professional soldiers only make up a small part of the military encompassing approximately 70,000 personnel with the army making up majority of that number at approximately 60,000 personnel while the airforce sits at approximately 10,000 personnel. There is crossover between the administration of the two main branches due to the existence of a small airborne infantry unit operating under the Cezak Air Force typically utilised as a rapid reaction force within Cezakia itself.

Conscription and the Cezak National Militia
In addition to the two main branches the Cezak National Militia (Cezak: Cecsakien Nationale Militie) operates as a national reservist force as an underlying branch of the Cezak army utilised to bolster the Cezak Royal Armed Forces in the event of war. The National Militia is entirely made of reservist and conscripted personnel who are all subject to basic training for a minimum of two weeks before being placed within the home guard unit for their local militia unit typically within their town of residence, however some personnel within each militia unit are chosen for an extended training period of six weeks. Leadership within the National Militia is almost exclusively made up of reservist officers or officer cadets who are currently attending the Royal Cezak Military Academy in Beredria, some of which will go into active service others will remain in the reservist force and only mobilised in the event of war or national catastrophe. The regulations of the Cezak militia system allow soldiers to maintain their own personal equipment, including weapons (not including ammunition), within their household or in a regional unit armoury in order to allow rapid mobilisation, a system which has been put to use in the past in situations where the Cezak National Militia was partially mobilised pre-emptively due to fears of regional instability and conflict affecting Cezakia such as the, Yarovan Steppe conflict, Rovski-Zaporizhian Separation, Yaro-Aukalnian War and during brief periods of escalation of the ongoing Rovski-Graznavan Conflict.

Domestic Arms Industry

 * See more: List of Cezakian Defense Contractors

Cezakia maintains an extensive and well-developed defense industry as a means to fulfil its defense requirements without a large reliance on foreign manufacturers and defense contractors thus allowing it to maintain its policy of military non-alignment.

The Cezak defense industry has extensive history, with some defense contractors having been in business for over 300 years. The industry became largely self-sufficient during the Grand Campaigns and Vojiskiy War as foreign imports were largely cut off for the duration of the wars which allowed it to develop to its current size and structure. As of 1996 the Cezak defense industry began to diversify by partially privatising its defense contractors which attracted foreign investment from various nations. This as a result has allowed Cezakia's defense contractors to access a larger financial base, increased availability of resources and also opening the Cezak defense industry to a wider export market through the relaxation of export controls on Cezak weaponry and military equipment.

National Fortification and Defense Policy

 * See more: Cezakian National Bulwark

The Cezakian National Bulwark (Cezak: Cecsakien Nationale bolwerk) is a national fortification plan developed by the Cezak government beginning in the 1890s as a means to deter foreign invasion. The National Bulwark primarily refers to a heavily fortified region of the Cezak mountains intended as refuge for the Cezak Army and encompasses a widely distributed set of fortifications which entirely encloses the Cezak mountain range with four major fortresses which are intended to protect the major mountain passes which lead into the mountainous regions of Cezakia. The bulwark was intended as a near impregnable barrier against foreign invaders which has grown several times throughout its existence, denying aggressors passage through or over the Cezak alps by controlling major roads, mountain passes and tunnel networks (both railway and automotive) which run into and out of the Cezak mountains. The strategy was adopted as a means to ensure Cezakia’s security by deterring invasion altogether by making it costly for any invader to attempt to occupy Cezakia, allowing Cezakia to largely maintain its neutrality by providing the defense infrastructure necessary for Cezakia to defend itself.

In comparison to its original form the National Bulwark has grown to include nuclear protected shelters for Cezakian citizens and troops, hidden gun emplacements, preparation to destroy key transport infrastructure such as rigging for the destruction of bridges and tunnels, and other widespread infrastructure denial techniques.

Economy
The Cezakian economy is a small and stable economy when ranked internationally, sitting amongst some of the worlds smallest economies in terms of gross domestic product (PPP) output. The Cezakian economy is largely driven by its banking sector which had formed in the late 17th century which has become emblematic of Cezakia and has garnered extensive international ties and has grown to be one of the largest tax havens in the world with one of the largest offshore financial centers. Cezakia also maintains an export-based economy primarily based on raw materials, natural gas but also featuring other economic sectors such as textiles and alcohol production. The nation as of 2019 has a gross domestic product (PPP) of $446.5 billion. Cezakia is a high-income country due to a gross national income (PPP) per capita of $52,390 - Cezakia has a growing middle class due to continued state investments in high-skill vocational education and critical infrastructure, as well as the expansion of technology based industries such as electronics design and information technology sectors supplementing the increases to the production and import of consumer goods. Over the past 10 years, Cezakia's real gross domestic production growth has averaged at 2.67%.

Cezakia also has a small but growing modern agrarian economic sector, featuring farmland in the Cezak flatlands. Cezakia has had a growing agricultural industry which produces various agricultural goods including cereals, vegetables, and cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry. Timber is also a large export in Cezakia and as of 2001 has been gathered in a more sustainable manner with the introduction of replantation laws. Furthermore, the mineral extraction and refinement industry exports various minerals such as lignite, iron, lead, gold, copper, natural gas, salt, sulphur, various silicates, bismuth-complex minerals and rare formation endemics as well as steel and various metal alloys. The resource extraction fuels the small Cezakian industrial base and manufacturing sectors.
