Kübeliye

Kübeliye, official the Union of Kübeliye (: Kübeliye Birliği) is a country on the southern coast of Eastern Artemia. It borders Helenic Bay to the west, the Eastern Eurybian Strait to the south, and Lauanzan to the east, and covers an area of 343,251 square kilometres (132,530 sq mi), with a population of 42,896,500 people. It is a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural country, with a diverse landscape defined by the lower Bralma river basin.

Kübeliye has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic. By the Iron Age writing the region had seen the development and importation of multiple writing systems and the rise of states and the beginning of Thalássian settlement, primarily along the western coast. This was followed by rising Keshian influence in the next centuries. In the fourth century BCE, the city-states of the central valley led the consolidation of the Bralmic League, which lasted for almost a millenium. The rise of the Tovik Empire brought with it the settlement of Slavic tribes, and its fall led to the enduring dominance of Turkic states.

The modern history of Kübeliye is agreed to begin with the Berilid Civil War in the late 18th century, which resulted in the collapse of centralised authority for decades.At the start of the 19th century, a palace coup led to the deposition of the reigning Sultana in favour of her daughter. A second coup d'etat only a few years later ended absolute rule, and resulted in the establishment of a parliamentary system with a constitutional monarchy. Under this new system the country began to industrialise.

The Kübeliler Revolution began at the end of the 19th century, during which the Sultana abdicated and the Sultanate was abolished. The revolution brought land reform, the abolition of slavery, the secularisation of government and the establishment of freedom of religion. A third and final coup d'etat occured in the 1950s, led to the establishment of a military junta under the leadership of Evrim Göktaş. A decade of increasingly tyrannical rule led to the Kübeliler Civil War. The Karabolu Accord ended the fighting and began an era of reconciliation and reconstruction during which the modern constitution was developed.

Today, Kübeliye is a federal directorial multi-party parliamentary socialist republic. It is a developing country with a middle-income economy and a growing service sector. It has a hybrid economy, consisting of cooperative, public, and private enterprise. Worker's cooperatives form the bulk of the modern economy, while key sectors of the economy remain nationalised, and the small private sector operates under certain constraints.

Etymology
The name Kübeliye derives from Kuvala, the name of an ancient goddess.

Paleolithic
Primitive stone tool use in Kübeliye is documented from 21,000 years ago. During the earliest periods of human settlement in Kübeliye, people lived nomadically, spread sparsely across the land. Early humans in the region lived primarily by hunting, fishing, and gathering edible vegetation.

Geography
Kübiliye is found on the southern coast of eastern Artemia, north of the Eurybian Ocean. To the north-west lies Helinika, and to the north Rovsnoska. Kübiliye's geography is traditionally defined by the Bralma river, a vital navigable waterway. The Bralma sits in a fertile valley between two mountain ranges. To the west of the Bralma are the Keirelymion Mountains, which largely demarcate the border with Helinika and to a lesser extent with Rovsnoska; to the east of the Bralma lie the Zbyteczny Mountains, named for the highest peak, Mount Zbytek. The west of the country has a predominantly Mediterranean climate, while the south-east of the country is subtropical. The north is covered mostly by a humid continental climate, and a small steppe region. The south of the country contains several significant lakes.

Politics
The current constitution was adopted in 1969, at the end of the war.

Economy
Kübeliye is a middle-income country with a hybrid economy, described by the state as a socialist economy with market elements. After the civil war, the infrastructure of the country was significantly damaged, and its industrial capacity reduced. The post-war government's reforms were aimed toward ensuring the agricultural self-sufficiency of the country, encouraging the growth of industry across the country, and mending the historic social and economic divides between the coast and the interior, and the central valley and the highlands.

Following the civil war, any key industries still in private hands were nationalised. This was a period of strong central planning, with enterprises subject to production quotas. Over the decades, non-essential industries have been granted more independence. Today, key industries remain under state control, with the rest of the economy largely operating according to the principle of worker self-management. Workers' unions remain an important aspect of the Kübeliler economic landscape, and there is a small but burgeoning private sector which largely consists of small enterprises, often family businesses, with rarely more than a dozen members or employees.

Industries
While the economy was traditionally agriculture-driven, today the primary sector, including agriculture and fishing, forestry and mining, accounts for only 7% of GDP. Agricultural cooperatives dominate the sector, with natural resources remaining state-controlled. The secondary or industrial sector of the economy is considerably diversified, and accounts for 33% of GDP. Traditional industries of textiles, clothing, printing, woodworking, pottery, and glassblowing remain a visible part of the industrial sector, but they have largely been supplanted by the growing pharmaceutical, computer parts, and vehicle manufacturing industries. The construction industry and the management of infrastructure and public utilities continue to be state-owned, but much of the rest of this sector consists of cooperatives. The tertiary or service sector of the economy is today the largest sector of the economy, accounting for 60% of GDP. State-owned industries in this sector include healthcare, finance and banking, transportation, education, real estate, waste management, and telecommunications. The retail sector is divided equally between worker's cooperatives and small private enterprise, as is true of the tourism, entertainment and media sectors, though these sectors feature more state involvement than retail.
