Republic Of Zedrutian

About
The Second Republic of Zedrutian (aka. Druga Republika Zedrutiana) is a parliamentary republic located north of the Provisional Government of Bistonia. Currently in the events of New Shingleton in 1989, the Zedrutian government deployed the Zedrutian Armed Forces to quell an uprising after a sudden resurgence of attacks against farmers in the state of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice by the Zedrutian Communist Party, a resistance group aimed to overthrow the Zedrutian government to establish a communist state.

The capital city of the Second Republic of Zedrutian is Kiezyn, and there are over a dozen cities located across mainland Zedrutia, including two cities overseas, most of these cities are New Gdansk, Starobryzn, Tarnochowice and the city of Kromząmske.

History
Prior to the beginning of the history of Zedrutia, the Poles were an ethnic group that had recently created a Polish state along the banks near Central Mesothemia prior to the 1270s. In 1270, the Ankhbayar Empire with their sudden expansion as a large empire reached Eastern Mesothemia. Along with the Lithuanians, the Poles attempted to resist invasion by the Ankhbayars, only to be defeated in the process. it also became one of the factors which had let the Ankhbayars reach the Oder River, which served as a gateway to Central Mesothemia.

After their defeat and with both of their kingdoms gone, the Poles and the Lithuanians attempted to rebel against the Ankhbayar Empire, which resulted in a failure, they both continued to resist against their rule until they had made a sudden mistake by beheading one of the messengers sent by the Ankhbayars, which placed them in grave danger. The leader of the Ankhbayars then made a decision to withdraw from the land inhabited by both the Poles and the Lithuanians to form a line where they could potentially massacre and scorch one of the villages, and in the aftermath the Poles and the Lithuanians were evicted out of their homeland and they moved south of Mesothemia to construct fragile boats to migrate to lands.

Arrival to mainland Zedrutia
After the Poles and the Lithuanians were evicted out of their homeland, survivors from both sides seperated on their own into groups of people and attempted to create fragile boats to discover land they could potentially settle in. After fragile boats were constructed, the majority of them had sunk which resulted in thousands more dead, resulting in many of the Poles and the Lithuanians nearly wiped out. Because of this, the majority of them split to go to south, while thousands went east. The descendants of inhabitants within the city of Kriadavia were Poles which had decided to join the Lithuanians heading south.

After a difficult mass exodus, tens of thousands of Poles arrived in the land they would eventually call Zedrutia, and they settled in and created a settlement which would become the city of New Gdansk in modern-day southern Zedrutia. The Poles immediately came into contact with tribals which had inhabited the land prior to their arrival, and due to hostile tensions and disputes over what they had controlled, a war occurred afterwards. The tribals attempted to fight back as the Poles had fought hard enough, and the Poles had been on the brink of victory. The tribals were overwhelmed, as disease spread and devastated nearly over 54% of the population. They were forced to run away into the region known as modern-day East Zedrutia.

Kingdom of Zedrutia (1289 - 1321)
In 1289, approximately 19 years after the Poles migrated to Zedrutia, Koriuka, who was a commander and the veteran of the war against the tribals, became the legitimate leader of the Poles in Zedrutia and proclaimed the Kingdom of Zedrutia. The following year, Koriuka then proclaimed the city of New Gdansk as the official capital of the kingdom. In the early years of the Kingdom of Zedrutia, Koriuka I led expansion campaigns at the expense of the tribals which had previously lived there, and most of the lands in the western region had been conquered. Koriuka then decided to proclaim a new city, which would be eventually called Starobryzn, mainly as a way to secure their rule over northern Zedrutia. As the 1300s reached, the Poles had gradually recovered from their devastation, and their population began to rise at a rapid rate. In early 1301, as a result of the rise of Islam in Mesothemia and the recent invasion of the Acharenossa Empire prior to the spread, Koriuka then plead allegiance to the Christian kingdoms to protect mainland Mesothemia, and made closer ties to the Catholic church. As a result of this, Koriuka then enforced Christianity on the tribes, causing dozens of them to abandon their religious faith in exchange for another one.

As a result of Koriuka enforcing his religion on the tribes, the tribes retaliated against his actions, and a rebellion occurred in the wild fields of Western Zedrutia in 1310, as a result of the rebellion, many tribals who served the Zedrutian knights then defected to the side of the tribes and clashed against the Zedrutians in the revolt. After Zedrutia suffered heavy losses from the rebellion, they were forced to sign an armistice with the tribals and an independent kingdom was established, and the Kingdom of Zedrutia was forced to recognize the secession, although after another series of continuous wars, the independent kingdom eventually became a vassal.

War of the Zedrutian Secession
After the rebellion by the tribals in the 1310s, the Kingdom of Zedrutia fell into sharp decline, as the majority of their lands were lost to the newly created kingdom, with only their coastal territories remaining, as a result of this, Koriuka I went into a breakdown and began shouting and arguing at many of the generals as he was forced to pay tribute to the kingdom, eventually during his fit of rage, he eventually collapsed and his servants ran to his aid, however, before they could potentially save Koriuka, he suddenly died at the age of 58 in the year of 1316, it came to conclusion that Koriuka had died of a heart attack, although it was debated whether or not he died of a stroke.

In the coming weeks of Koriuka's death, there were over 4 heirs to the throne as the king of Zedrutia. The first heir to the throne was Koriuka II, who was the son of Koriuka I. Koriuka II wanted to ascend the throne as he claimed his father had placed him as a potential successor to the throne, and he was backed by servants and some of Zedrutia's most legendary commanders. The second heir to the throne was a prince named Jaghrul, who was a Ruralian from the Central Mesothemian Empire, who wanted to claim the Zedrutian throne in an attempt to assist the Central Mesothemian Empire to spread their influence across the globe. Another heir was another prince named Nojus from Zedrutia's ally, the Bistonian Empire, in which the Bistonian Empire attempted to assert their influence aswell on the Zedrutian region and assimilate the Poles. The last heir seeking to claim the throne was none other than Savorjan, who was the king of Zedrutia's independent kingdom. He wanted to also claim the throne for himself in a last attempt to oust the Poles from mainland Zedrutia and establish a tribal kingdom.

The War of the Zedrutian Secession began, and as a result the Kingdom of Zedrutia collapsed into three regions owned by the heirs to the throne, and the following day, Savorjan's tribal kingdom immediately gained independence and their status as a vassal had been revoked, adding on to 4 regions owned by the people who wanted to claim the throne. The first battle began, as Jaghrul attempted to move to the temporary capital city in an attempt to kill Nojus, however, Nojus was informed and he destroyed Jaghrul's garrison stationed at the border, which had failed. The secession wars continued for another year, until Koriuka II made a breakthrough in the secession crisis.

Prior to Koriuka's breakthrough in the Zedrutian wars of secession, Nojus was assassinated as forces belonging to Jaghrul sneaked into the fort where he was staying and stabbed him to death, leaving only three heirs to the throne, the rest of his remaining regions which he controlled were then divided by both Koriuka and Jaghrul's forces, which clashed eachother for a single piece of land. The Bistonian Empire was then embarassed by the sudden loss of Nojus and turned against Jaghrul, they then began backing Koriuka at the expense of Zedrutia's control over the sea, and with the help of Bistonian troops, recaptured the city of New Gdansk from Savorjan's forces, as a result, Zedrutian forces along with the help of the Bistonian empire, formed a coalition against Savorjan and besieged and captured his capital, killing Savorjan and his kingdom was destroyed in the process.

In 1319, after Savorjan's death and the collapse of the tribal kingdom, Koriuka then set his sights on the last heir to the throne to eliminate, and went into battle against Jaghrul's forces the following year, as a result, Jaghrul was assassinated after a poisoned dart pierced into his skull as Zedrutian forces clashed with him, with the end of the battle, Jaghrul's death was confirmed, and the kingdom collapsed, marking the end of the secession crisis, with Koriuka obtaining the throne in the end. He officially became the king of Zedrutia and ascended the throne the following day. Koriuka II then reestablished the Kingdom of Zedrutia and the kingdom underwent a process of rebuilding after the years long war.

Zedrutian Empire (1321 - 1442)
After the War of the Zedrutian Secession, the Kingdom of Zedrutia had completely recovered from the war with the efforts by Koriuka II, however, despite their complete recovery from the secession crisis, the Kingdom of Zedrutia still hadn't managed to recover to its pre-war levels, which immediately caused discontent between the Zedrutian army and Koriuka II, as a result of this, Koriuka's officials began turning against him and plotted a plan to overthrow Koriuka and establish a greater state, which would later on occur a year after the end of the War of the Zedrutian Secession in 1320, as a general named Krzysztof who had fought the secession crisis previously was seen as a heroic person after being given an honor for his service, and he took advantage of it by turning against Koriuka II. Krzysztof and his troops then stormed Koriuka's palace where he was dethroned and beheaded infront of the populace in New Gdansk.

After Krzysztof overthrew Koriuka and executed him, the event marked the end of the Koriuka dynasty, which had abruptly ended. In the aftermath of the overthrow, Krzysztof then ascended to the throne as the king of Zedrutia and ruled with an iron fist, and made plans to recapture the former territories of what was once Savorjans tribal kingdom, after Krzysztof had partially took over the remains of Savorjans kingdom, Krzysztof then announced the end of the Kingdom of Zedrutia and proclaimed the Zedrutian Empire, claiming a new great era has begun for the kingdom. After the formation of the Zedrutian Empire, Krzysztof completely conquered the remains of Savorjan's tribal kingdom, and ousted the tribes inhabiting the area into Eastern Zedrutia.

The Zedrutian Empire then expanded into sheer size, and became one of the greatest successor states of the Kingdom of Zedrutia, during Krzysztof's rule, he shifted Zedrutia's economy to rely on slaves, and gathered dozens of them from East Zedrutia and wealth from the provinces. However, Krzysztof's rule over the Zedrutian Empire was placed to an abrupt end for only 4 years, as his army turned against him in favor for another general, who seeked to claim the throne. Krzysztof was assassinated and later on the general took over the empire, this was later known to be the Zedrutian Empire's doom, as the empire slowly began declining from that point. However, in the aftermath of Krzysztof being dethroned, the Zedrutian Empire attempted to form a union with the Bistonian Empire, but mainly failed due to rising tensions.

Due to the Zedrutian Empires sheer size, peeked at the year of 1398, the Bistonian Empire saw the Zedrutian Empire as a potential threat, and prohibited Zedrutian traders and merchants from entering Bistonian waters, and both sides began arming eachother for a potential invasion, however before they could go to war together, the Beylik Empire, which had began rapidly developing its army, began expanding at a rapid rate, forcing both sides to defend eachother from a potential invasion by the Beyliks. However, compared to the Bistonian Empire, the Zedrutian Empire had lack of morale, as the empire had began to collapse. Later on after a month, the Zedrutian Empire went into a secession crisis once again, and collapsed into several regions controlled by Zedrutian warlords.

After the new emperor of the Zedrutian Empire managed to reunite and reestablish the empire, the Zedrutian Empire went into turmoil again, as the Beyliks rapid expansion has led them to their demise. The sultan of the Beylik Empire declared war on the Zedrutian Empire in order to challenge his new army against the Zedrutian Empire, and the Beyliks began their invasion of Zedrutia by landing on the coasts of Zedrutia, after the Beyliks arrived to New Gdansk in an attempt to force the emperor to surrender, they refused and the Beylik invasion continued until all land was eventually conquered by the Beyliks, marking the complete destruction of the Zedrutian Empire, which had lasted for nearly over 120 years. The Zedrutian Empire continued to exist as remnants after the remaining forces fled to East Zedrutia to establish a new kingdom in an attempt to resist the Beyliks once again, but they were eventually destroyed too by the tribals.

Beylik Rule (1442 - 1807)
After the destruction of the Zedrutian Empire by the Beylik Empire in 1442, the Beyliks ruled the conquered territories with an iron fist as they attempted to populate the land with muslims and introduce the religion of Islam to the land of Zedrutia, however, the Zedrutians demonstrated against this act, and a revolt occurred, causing the sultan to halt their attempts to assimilate the conquered territories. Pockets of the remnants of the Zedrutian Empire then revolted once again to reestablish the empire, but they were destroyed by the Beylik forces. They then made a decision to deport opponents to the countryside where they wouldn't pose a threat. They then fought another war with the tribals in an attempt to conquer East Zedrutia, in which the Beyliks lost.

As the 1500s reached, the Beyliks expanded into a large empire, it was also during this year that the Poles began going to the ungoverned spaces of territory in Zedrutia to create a city which would be later known as Kiezyn. In 1683, the Beylik Empire began their slow decline in the aftermath of a war against the Holy Mesothemian Empire and the rest of the empires allies in Mesothemia, and as a result the Beyliks went under a heavy economic decline, which forced the Beyliks to increase tax in Zedrutia as they weren't able of maintaining such a huge empire. Eventually, a rebellion occurred, and in the aftermath of the rebellion the Beyliks were then forced to form an autonomous province in Zedrutia, so that the Zedrutians could govern it by themselves. The Beyliks also attempted to conquer the rest of East Zedrutia in an attempt to show its powerful army once again after their heavy loss, but they had failed due to the harsh terrain and troops were overwhelmed. The Beyliks also didn't have enough money to develop Zedrutia, which resulted in the Beyliks often neglecting funds to the Zedrutian autonomous province. As a result, the autonomous province allowed the influx of Jewish people into the autonomous province, as they allowed them to live in the cities peacefully.

In 1799 during the Napoleonic Wars, Napoleon and his forces declared war on the Beylik Empire, his goals to invade the Beylik Empire was to acquire many territories and establish a colony, mainly in Sidan, Zedrutia and the Beylik vilayet of Kromząmske, although many of his troops fell in Sidan, many of his troops landed in the port city of the city of Kromząmske, they were immediately greeted by Polish locals and message would soon spread to the city of Tarnochowice, they would also welcome Mongravian forces into the city and by 1800 the Beylik Empire and most of its presence was kicked out of the island including all of Zedrutia. A colony would eventually be proclaimed in 1801 and 6 years later Zedrutia would be annexed and Kromząmske would be incorporated into the colony.

The Polish exodus
The Polish exodus was an event which had occurred during the Beyliks rule in Zedrutia, as thousands of Poles fled the cities of New Gdansk and other cities under Beylik control to areas ungoverned by the Beyliks in the 1500s as a result of fear and oppression by the Beyliks. This event contributed to the creation of several cities in northern Zedrutia, including the eastern regions of the province.

It began during the 1500s as the Beyliks attempted to assimilate the Polish population in Zedrutia, and as a result discontent between the Poles and the Beylik settlers grew. As a result, violent tensions between the two sides forced the Poles to move out of their homes in New Gdansk and several other cities along the coast to the ungoverned spaces such as central Zedrutia. This resulted in New Gdansk's population declining and the city dwindled to a small port city. Many of the Poles which fled New Gdansk settled to an area near the regions of East Zedrutia and constructed a city in which most Beyliks were prohibited from entry. It would later on be known as the city of Kiezyn and it would be known as paradise for the Poles. Several groups of Poles also followed aswell and built seperate communities which prohibited Beyliks from entering aswell.

In other parts of Zedrutia, this event also occurred in Kromząmske, as over thousands of Poles which had hated the Beyliks which settled into the city of Kromząmske, fled the city aswell up north of the island to construct a brand new city known as Tarnochowice, this city, along with Kiezyn, prohibited Beyliks from entering the city. As the Beylik Empire discovered the construction of the communities and their intent, the Beyliks were angered by their actions, and would often send Beylik troops to Kromząmske and Kiezyn, where they forced dozens of civillians to allow them entry into the city, however they were pushed back away from the cities and this further angered the Beyliks. Along with this came the massive influx of Jewish refugees from Mesothemia.

Mongravian Rule (1807 - 1918)
After the Beyliks were ousted from Zedrutia by Mongravian forces in 1800, Mongravia officially declared Zedrutia as a colony after a year of Mongravian occupation in the year of 1801, beginning a new era for the Zedrutian population. During the early phases of their rule, the Mongravians ousted the Beylik population out of New Gdansk and several other port cities such as Kromząmske, which allowed the Poles to return to their cities, however, all of the cities constructed as a result of the Polish exodus remain functioning and they were incorporated into the colony as Mongravian forces were permitted entry into the cities. 6 years after Mongravia declared Zedrutia as a colony, the Mongravians then declared Zedrutia as a province, due to the Poles extreme loyalty to the Mongravians.

However, just as the situation in Zedrutia was bound to be peaceful, Napoleon instated strict policies meant to crack down on the local languages in all of their colonies including Zedrutia, and forced many of the local population in their territories to speak Mongravian, this led most of the Polish population to rebel against the act despite being crushed by Mongravian forces, this would later on inspire dozens to create future rebellions and the ideal of an independent Zedrutian state. Polish people were also not granted rights and citizenship into mainland Mongravia, however, in 1815, Napoleons defeat and the end of the Napoleonic Wars resulted in dozens of Mesothemian powers seizing many of Mongravia's territories, except for Zedrutia, this resulted in the Mongravians finally securing their rule over Zedrutia.

In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and the events which had occured in 1815, the Mongravian Republic would be established, which granted rights to the Polish majority in Zedrutia and lifted restrictions on the Polish language. With the creation of the consitution of the Mongravian Republic, the Polish majority was allowed entry into mainland Mongravia and the Mongravian government would grant citizenship to the Polish population in mainland Mongravia. However, there were many setbacks within the French Republic, as almost all of their colonies had faced oppression, with the exception being their colony Zedrutia, as the Mongravians wanted to improve their image to the world. In 1844, the Mongravian administration in Kromząmske merged into the administration of Tarnochowice called the Mandate of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, which effectively seperated the island from mainland Zedrutia. In 1848, the Second Mongravian Republic was established, nearly 4 years after.

During the rule of the Mongravians, railways and better infrastructure was built as part of a process of developing Zedrutia, which increased better living conditions in Kiezyn, New Gdansk and Starobryzn, and the Mongravians constructed several monumental landmarks across all of the cities to create a perfect image of all of the cities in the colony, however, despite their attempts to model themselves as a great state, the Mongravians were oppressive, as they forced many of the Poles to learn the Mongravian language.

First Great War
In 1914, competition between the great imperial Mesothemian powers led to the outbreak and the beginning of the First Great War, resulting in Mongravia joining the Mesothemian allied forces, however, over the years of fighting, the Mongravian army slowly began crumbling and the Mongravian government was nearly devastated as a result of the war as the opposing sides began surrounding the capital of Mongravia. As a result of this, the Mongravian government demanded all of its colonies for help to liberate the capital city of Mongravia, as a result, the Mongravian colony of Zedrutia along with Zedrutian political activists responded and obliged to help the Mongravians in exchange for an independent, free and democratic Zedrutia, and the Mongravians signed a deal with them.

After the deal was signed, Zedrutian political activists begged many of the Polish population to join the war in exchange of an independent republic in return, and as a result thousands of Zedrutian volunteers from mainland Zedrutia and the Mandate of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice flocked to the frontlines in an attempt to create an independent state. As a result, the Mongravian forces doubled in sheer size, and in the process the Mongravian military managed to liberate the Mongravian capital city from being captured by the Ruralian forces. The Zedrutian colony also supported Mongravia by providing resources and supplies in the war and helped combat against enemies from all sides of the frontlines of the Mongravian Republic. As a result of the backing of the war by Zedrutia, the Mongravian military began to stabilize and enemy forces were on the brink of collapsing. After they managed to push out enemy forces from Mongravia's borders, many Zedrutian volunteers from mainland Zedrutia and the island of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice returned back to Zedrutia and the ideals of an independent Zedrutian state began.

Independence
In the month of November, 1918, remnants of the Central Mesothemian Powers signed a treaty with allied forces, with Mongravia involved, marking the end of the First Great War. In the aftermath of the First Great War, Mongravian officials arrived at the port city of New Gdansk to host a meeting with Zedrutian political activists and promised the independence and the creation of a democratic Zedrutian state, but however, Mongravian officials demanded that Zedrutia should provide resources and money to rebuild Mongravian cities damaged in the war, despite massive opposition against the demand, the Zedrutian political activists then agreed to do so and as a result both Mongravian and Zedrutian officials signed the agreement and guarantee for independence, and Zedrutia was bound to become independent in over a month. The following day, the future flag of Zedrutia was planned, and it was bound to be used as the official flag of the new republic.

In December 13th 1918, during the date of Zedrutian independence, families and local businesses placed the flag of Zedrutia outside their houses in all cities and crowds gathered along the streets in Zarush and Mongravian officials stayed behind the future president of Zedrutia on a stage constructed for the event. Then, the future president of Zedrutia made a statement regarding the independence and declaration of the Republic of Zedrutia, and after he finished his statement, the flag of Mongravia was lowered on the parliament building and the Zedrutian flag was raised, officially marking the beginning of the Republic of Zedrutia. Crowds cheered all across the cities as Zedrutia gained independence and the Republic of Zedrutia was declared. After the declaration of the newly independent country, Mongravian forces held a final parade where they began their withdrawal from Zedrutia in Vakolov, with crowds flocking to the streets.

During Independence day, it was also celebrated by dozens of the population in Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, however, despite Zedrutia's independence, it was still under the rule of the Mongravian government, however, the Mandate of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice would also convince Mongravian officials to sign an agreement guaranteeing the independence of the island. 2 days after Zedrutia's independence, in December 15th 1918, the Mongravian flag was lowered in the city of Kromząmske, with a small crowd cheering its independence. The flag of the independent republic was also raised in Kromząmske.

Republic of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice
"Main article: State of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice"The Republic of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice was a short-lived state which was established on December 15th 1918 and dissolved in December 20th 1918 when it joined the Republic of Zedrutia. It had plans to create a military, government, law and its own currency away from mainland Zedrutia, unfortunately, the independent state only lasted for 6 days until it went unstable and it was forced to change its ways and join the Republic of Zedrutia as an autonomous state.

Prior to the independence of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, Mongravian officials from the Mandate of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice bribed other Mongravian officials to sign an agreement guaranteeing the independence of the island as a sovereign state, however, the agreement didn't include the incorporation of the island into mainland Zedrutia, as it was a seperate entity from Zedrutia. After the Republic of Zedrutia gained independence from Mongravia on December 13th 1918, the mandate was bound to gain independence aswell, and 2 days later on December 15th 1918, the Mongravian flag was lowered from the city hall in Kromząmske, and an orange and white flag was raised proclaiming the independence of the republic.

After Kromząmske and Tarnochowice gained independence from Mongravia, a government was set up and elections were bound to be held, and a constitution for the independent state was being written based off the Mongravian constitution, it also planned to develop its army by using the remaining divisions on the island as their own army, however, the independent republic still continued to use Mongravian currency. 3 days after their independence, the city of Kromząmske was overwhelmed by sudden demonstrations and the independent republic became unstable as a result, after the small demonstrations, the president of the independent state, who was a Mongravian, decided to negotiate with the Zedrutian government and made plans to be incorporated into the country, and they were bound to be merged in 3 months, however, a sudden decision led the date to be shortened to 2 days, and as a result the independent republic abruptly ended after it was merged into the country. To secure their control over the province, they deployed dozens of troops to Kromząmske to hold a parade marking the annexation of the province.

First Republic of Zedrutian (1918 - 1941)
In the aftermath of the First Great War, the Republic of Zedrutia was established on December 13th 1918, and later on, the Zedrutian government annexed Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, prior to their independence, the French constructed several factories as part of their plan to develop their colony, and as a result it gave Zedrutia a much more reliable start, and the Republic of Zedrutia rapidly began rising in numbers during the interwar period. In 1920, the Republic of Zedrutia gained recognition by other countries with the help of Mongravia and Zedrutia was permitted to join the League of Free Nations. During the countrys early years, it also competed against Sidan and the United States of Megaton and Columbia.

As the 20s reached, the Zedrutian government then made a decision to create and adopt their own currency called the Zedrutian Krolaw and it was released the following year, replacing the Mongravian currency and further accelerating their prosperity. In 1921, the Zedrutian government imposed a policy of reviving Polish culture after their independence, which gradually resulted in the resurgence of Polish traditional values after the independence, as the Mongravian administration had restricted their traditional values in favor of developing the colony, during the revival process, the Mongravian language was banned from public schools and institutions and the Mongravian influence began dying out for decades. In 1928, the Zedrutian government also rolled out plans to rename cities and roads from the Mongravian era into Polish names, however it wouldn't effective.

The next year, in 1929, the Great Depression occurred, resulting in the collapse of the Zedrutian economy, as dozens of countries worldwide were effected by the Great Depression, unemployment skyrocketed, and the Zedrutian Krolaw was on the brink of inflation. Dozens of factories closed and Zedrutia was on a rapid decline, along with many of the other countries, as the 1930s arrived, the Great Depression reached its breaking point, and as a result frustrated factory workers began making strikes, contributing to the rise of a certain far-right political party known as the Kruma, which began dominating the Zedrutian government for over a few years and defeated other rival political parties in elections. The Kruma attempted to establish a greater state in Zedrutia, and in 1933, the Jewish population in Zedrutia was targetted by the Kruma, causing a sudden influx in attacks by Zedrutian workers. As a result of this, the Zedrutian military overthrew the government in Zarush, and one of the Kruma's rival parties came into power. The Kruma was banned the following year.

In 1935, after a few years of suffering from the Great Depression, Zedrutia finally recovered from the economic depression, however, it reached nowhere compared to their previous levels, although Zedrutia couldn't fully recover, it resulted in the rapid decline of worker strikes across the country as they were able to work, and the prosecution of Jews in the country plummeted. As a result, the Jewish populations from Mesothemia migrated to Zedrutia for safety, with the Jewish population peaking at 12 million in 1939 before the war. This led to many far-right political parties in Mesothemia criticising and carving a bad reputation of the Zedrutian government for providing safety for the Jews, and for banning the far-right political party Kruma. In the aftermath of the Great Depression, Zedrutia was not capable of defending themselves in the Second Great War, which would break out in a few years, and it would be left vulnerable to invasion by opposing forces.

Second Great War
In late 1939, Ruralia declared war on Prozhnia, which was backed by the League of Nations, and divided countries in Eastern Mesothemia between them and the Union of Orchrestran after they signed an agreement, this resulted in dozens of countries directly opposing against Ruralia's actions, and as a result several of them including Mongravia declared war on Ruralia, marking the beginning of the Second Great War. From 1939 to 1941, Zedrutia wasn't mainly affected by the war and it continued to survive for another 2 years until it was invaded by Ruralia and its allies and resulted in the collapse of the first republic. Zedrutia was then divided into several puppet states and several sovereign zones were placed in an attempt to colonize mainland Zedrutia and eradicate the Polish majority in the area. Millions of Jews were also deported from the large cities and ghettos were set up for the Jews to stay in until they could be sent to a concentration camp, they were either massacred. During this period, a resistance army rose up called the Powstańcza Armia Zedrutiana, which spread all across mainland Zedrutia. After the end of the war, it left a deep scar within Zedrutia, as millions of Jews were deported and nearly most of Zedrutia's infrastructure was destroyed.

During the early phases of the war in 1939, the Zedrutian government immediately declared neutrality in the war and enacted a policy regarding it despite their bad reputation they had earned amongst far-right political parties which controlled Ruralia. In late 1939, Mongravia demanded Zedrutia to help them in the war, and despite Zedrutia's attempts to stay neutral, they deployed volunteers to the frontlines of the war despite their weakened status, although they were forced to flee Mongravia once Ruralian troops reached the capital city of Mongravia and the country collapsed, resulting in Zedrutia losing an important ally and forcing them to enact an isolationist policy. After the fall of Mongravia, the Zedrutian government made plans to defend themselves in the war and made efforts to continue their neutral policy, however despite this many of their efforts had come to no avail. In December of 1939, the Zedrutian government entered an isolationist policy and cut off relations from the rest of the world, leaving Zedrutia with no potential allies and no potential countries to defend them.

As 1940 reached, the Second Great War escalated, as Ruralia began spreading their presence in further parts of Eastern Mesothemia, and invaded Juznaslavia and overthrew the Republic of Crimmitonia in a coup d'etat, establishing another fascist dictatorship. This resulted in Ruralia also spreading their influence around the seas surrounding Zedrutia, and Ruralian ships entered Zedrutian waters the following year, causing the Zedrutian government to respond. They then deployed dozens of Zedrutian divisions north of Starobryzn in an attempt to repell Ruralian ships from the seas, and the Zedrutian government began their attempts to develop the army by purchasing outdated weapons and equipment from Orchrestran, then, the Zedrutian government held a parade in the capital city of Zarush claiming to prepare for war against Ruralia and their allies, however, the Zedrutian army was still weak and due to the lack of support by countries, it later on failed. In mid 1940, the Zedrutian government then began cracking down on remnants of the Kruma in Vakolov, which resulted in further anger by Ruralia and their allies. In December of 1940, the Zedrutian government then once again restored contact with one of Mongravia's remaining allies and the Mongravian government in exile, slightly increasing their backing. As early 1941 approached, Crimmitonia bombarded the city of New Shingleton, resulting in the United States of Megaton and Columbia joining the war and declaring war on Ruralia and their allies, the following year, Ruralia had made their plans to invade Zedrutia, and their main goals were to wipe out the Jewish minority in Zedrutia and steal many of their resources into winning the war. The following year, Ruralia officially declared war on Zedrutia, and the next day Ruralia's allies join the war and declare war on Zedrutia. The Zedrutian government then deployed Zedrutian troops on the coast north of Starobryzn in an attempt to repell the invasion, but however, due to their weakened state, it would be proven futile. The next day, Ruralian troops along with their allies landed in the city of Vakolov and captured it without any resistance, due to lack of presence within the city. Ruralian troops then landed on several other coastal cities south of Zedrutia and captured all of them without any resistance, resulting in many Zedrutian troops from the north being deployed to south Zedrutia, the next day, clashes officially began, which resulted in a heavy loss of Zedrutian troops, as over a hundred thousand died. This along with the withdrawal of Zedrutian troops from Starobryzn, allowed more Ruralian troops to move into the northern coast, and many Zedrutian divisions were forced to retreat to prevent from being surrounded and captured. This continued for a while until they had lost too much cities, and they were reduced to only controlling territories in East Zedrutia. Then, Ruralian troops then stormed in during an offensive and surrounded the capital, Zarush. They bombarded the capital and as a result many government officials fled and the Zedrutian government fled in exile with the help of the Mongravian government in exile. As a result of this, Zedrutia collapsed due to the lack of government and Zedrutian troops remained fighting against Ruralian troops and volunteers in East Zedrutia. The following day, Zedrutia capitulated and an agreement was signed by Zedrutian generals, marking the end of the invasion of Zedrutia. After Zedrutia's capitulation on early 1941, Zedrutian civilians began turning frustrated and as a result many remnants of the Zedrutian military founded the Powstańcza Armia Zedrutiana, a resistance group which would later on revolt against the occupation of Zedrutia for a few years to come. The following day, the Republic of Zedrutia was officially dissolved, and Ruralia and its allies began carving up territory in occupied Zedrutia into 2 puppet governments and 2 states directly controlled by Ruralia and their allies including 2 more military administrations. Many of these puppet governments would be known as the State of Starobryzn and the infamous Independent State of Vakolov. Some of the two states directly controlled by Ruralia and their allies would be known as the Yarezovsk Governorate, and the Zarush Governorate, all of these countries were named from larger cities which stood in the zones. They also carved up another zone, called the Settler Zone, which was a zone intended to be inhabited by Ruralian settlers in Ruralia's attempt to purify the occupied country. on mid 1941, Jews in Zedrutia were ordered to wear armbands that had the Star of David on them so they could be easily identified compared to other Poles living in the city of Zarush and all cities across Zedrutia, and those who refused would suffer consequences. On December 1941, several ghettos were created and constructed all across the cities in Zedrutia, seperating all Jews from the cities into the ghettos where they would be forced to stay, many of these ghettos were in horrid conditions, as the lack of food resulted in thousands starving in the ghettos. The following year, the Jewish Ghetto Police was established as an auxiliary police unit in all ghettos. 1942 had arrived, and it would be the worst year during the occupation of Zedrutia, as the situation had turned brutal, as millions of Jews were rounded up and killed in the year, and this would eventually become the year the Powstańcza Armia Zedrutiana reached its extent. In early 1942, the Jewish Ghetto Police in all cities where Jewish ghettos were set up, ordered many civillians living in the ghetto to pack up their valuable items and they were forced into the trains heading to concentration camps which had been recently built, over miles away from the larger cities. They would eventually be killed by Ruralian troops stationed at the camps after a week. The following month, the Powstańcza Armia Zedrutiana began an uprising in the mountains near the capital of the Independent State of Vakolov, and as a result the Vakolov administration imposed brutal punishments and worsened the situation, as more and more Jews were completely forced out away from Vakolov and they would be placed into labor camps. On mid 1942, the Mikov administration was disbanded after a coup d'etat ordered by a Ruralian commander and established the Mikov military administration, as a result of massive resistance by the PAZ in the southeastern parts of the region. Resistance by the PAZ continued and it spread through the State of Starobrzyn, the Zarush Governorate, and all regions in occupied Zedrutia, as response to the rising resistance, Ruralia bombarded the city of Zarush to complete destruction and as a result millions died. Resistance also spread throughout the Tarnochowice Military Administration aswell. On December 1942, over a year before Zedrutia was invaded by allied forces, the Independent State of Vakolov completed its purge, and it would become one of the most brutal genocides in Zedrutia.

1943 had arrived, and it would be the final year of Zedrutian occupation, during the last phases of the war, the PAZ had nearly become devastated as it had been nearly destroyed due to the efforts by the Ruralian army, and over a million Jews in Zedrutia had been killed. In early 1943, almost all of the ghettos in the larger cities had been liquidated and only a few ghettos remain standing, mainly in Dzuatchvin, Starobryzn, and the Zarush Governorate. The following month, the Yarezovsk Governorate was overthrown in a coup d'etat and reestablished as the State of Yarezovsk, mainly due to the instability within the region as resistance had seized strategic important locations. The Dzuatchvin Ghetto Uprising occurred as a result of a Jewish armed resistance group and the Dzuatchvin Ghetto was liquidated afterwards, leaving only 2 large Jewish ghettos remaining. The Settler Zone also expanded and a portion of the city of Zarush was ceded to the zone, creating the Pure Zone in the city. In mid 1943, the Starobryzn concentration camp, which was built by Jewish slaves, finished construction and opened the following year, resulting in the massacre of hundreds of Jews in the Starobrzyn ghetto and the relocation of the inhabitants to the concentration camp, where they remain suffering for months. In late 1943, prior to the allied invasion of Zedrutia, many forces in Zedrutia were heavily stationed and defended against the southern and eastern coasts of Zedrutia.

Allied invasion of Zedrutia
In late 1943, the Allied Powers invaded Zedrutia, mainly to support their ally Orchrestran in the war against Ruralia and their allies and to open a new front against Crimmitonia, which had bombed their city New Shingleton, although allied forces had seized territories in Southern Bistonia, they wished to open a new front in the north to surround Crimmitonia on both sides and to capture the city of New Vilnius, and they immediately focus on seizing Zedrutia so they could potentially capture Bistonia and force the Crimmitonians to surrender. As Ruralian intelligence provided the news to officials in both of the independent states in Zedrutia, they immediately began deployment of troops along their borders, and increased attacks against the PAZ resistance, as a result of this all independent puppet states began hosting a large parade in the Settler Zone in the city of Zarush, however when they were in the midst of the event, a PAZ-related bomb attack occurred, in which resulted in hundreds of soldiers and settlers killed in the process. They then began drafting all Zedrutian civillians to participate in the war, and when Ruralia heard of the invasion, they also helped out and began constructing defensive positions along the coasts from Yarezovsk to Vakolov.

In late 1943, the Allied invasion of Zedrutia began, and allied troops bypassed the defensive positions and landed on the city of Mikov, where they seized the city with fierce resistance by both Ruralian and troops from the military administration, however the Ruralian side suffered great losses and eventually they were forced to retreat from the city. The following day, the PAZ plead allegiance to allied forces to liberate Zedrutia and joined allied forces and assisted them, however, the PAZ branch in Tarnochowice was not aware and it continued to be that way until troops landed in Kromzamske. Allied forces swept through Mikov at a fast pace with the help of Zedrutian resistance and took up the majority of the Mikov Military Administration, resulting in the collapse of the military administration. Ruralian troops attempted to fight back, however they were immediately ambushed by the PAZ through roads. As more and more allied forces move into Zedrutia, allied divisions pushed through towards the city of Zarush, and as a result thousands of settlers fled and the PAZ seized the city, the following day, Zarush was quickly occupied. Then, as a result of continuous defeats by allied forces, the Ruralian army had no choice than to evacuate from mainland Zedrutia to save themselves, and all of the independent states collapsed without support. Allied forces then quickly swept through again, capturing the majority of mainland Zedrutia and leaving only West Zedrutia still standing. In Kromzamske and Tarnochowice, the PAZ branch in the island also seized the cities and had complete control over the island, and they were confused as to why Ruralian troops evacuated. After the fall of Zarush, allied forces were able to land on the southern coasts and captured the city of Yarezovsk and Vakolov. Then, the last remaining holdout fell in Starobryzn, immediately marking the end of the invasion.

After the invasion of Zedrutia, allied forces approached many concentration camps and the cities which had been seized, and they immediately witnessed the gruesome acts, as mass graves were discovered nearby the camps. Allied forces then witnessed many of the Jewish prisoners and released them from the camps immediately afterwards and captured the remaining personnel and remnants of troops stationed at the camp. Ruralian troops and generals who surrendered were detained in Starobryzn and thousands of civillians returned to their cities. A military administration was set up in the following weeks after the invasion and Vakolov became its capital, and it was divided into four sectors. The PAZ in mainland Zedrutia then disbanded after the invasion but however their other branch in Kromzamske and Tarnochowice continued to function. In 1944, allied forces arrived to Kromzamske and met partisan leaders, the following day they signed an agreement allowing for a peaceful transition of power into the military administration in Zedrutia.

Post-war era
In 1945, the Second Great War ended, and there would be peace for another few years. As a result of the end of the war, the United States of Megaton and Columbia began spreading their influence along with the Union of Orchrestran, during this period, the United States of Megaton and Columbia provided democratization, economic aid, and an alliance with post-war countries. In late 1945, the military administration in Zedrutia was formally disbanded, and Ruralian POWs and generals were released and given political amnesty, mainly because they didn't pose a threat to Zedrutia. The former leaders of the PAZ then became politicians and formed a political party, as the USMC was bound to granting Zedrutia independence and a provisional government was established, holding elections for the future country and it was bound to completely recover as all of the cities were rebuilding from the war. It was also during this year that the Zedrutian Armed Forces were created once again, and it received funding and the USMC provided the ZAF arms and equipment, which made them powerful. However, there were setbacks within the Zedrutian Armed Forces, as the USMC administration earlier had assigned former Zedrutian generals who had plead allegiance to Ruralia into training and leading many soldiers within the ZAF, which then contributed to an eventual coup d'etat.

In the year of 1946, Zedrutian officials which had recently returned to the mainland and former resistance leaders of the PAZ gathered at a hall in Vakolov to sign an agreement with generals and officials from the United States of Megaton and Columbia, agreeing to the creation of the Republic of Zedrutia and officially putting an end to the occupation by the USMC, after the signing of the treaty, it officially marked the end of the allied occupation of Zedrutia, since they had been occupied for 3 years. However, after the withdrawal, Zedrutian politicians were bound to reestablish the Republic of Zedrutia and before they could potentially reestablish it, the Zedrutian Armed Forces immediately deployed to Vakolov and began a coup d'etat in the city, immediately taking control of Zedrutia and stopped the establishment of the Second Republic of Zedrutia, then, a Zedrutian general, who was once a reliable Ruralian ally, dissolved the provisional government, and the following year after purging many political officials, including members involved with the PAZ, the Zedrutian general then held a ceremony and declared the State of Zedrutia and a new event called the Nowy Wielki Reżim, also known as the NWR

State of Zedrutia (1946 - 1969)
After the military took control of the government and declared the State of Zedrutia and created a new national focus known as the New Great Regime, it would begin a new era of oppression and violent rule and it marked the beginning of the military junta in Zedrutia, which would last over nearly 23 years and abruptly ended after the Zedrutian Revolution and the establishment of the Second Republic of Zedrutia, during this era, the military government began their continuation of constant deportation of Zedrutian Jews, resulting in their population dwindling to over 578,000 compared to their peak in the interwar period. The military government also cracked down on political parties, purged political opponents, and they would attempt to purge communism in the country, as an attempt to appeal to the United States of Megaton and Columbia that they had succeeded as a state which had emerged.

During the early days of the State of Zedrutia, the military government moved its capital from Vakolov to the city of Zarush, however it was completely useless as Zarush had been completely destroyed as a result of the war, and the military government responded by moving many of its resources directly to rebuild the capital, which caused many cities in mainland Zedrutia to be depleted of resources. Monuments were also constructed and gigantic buildings were constructed for the elite including the Zedrutian general, which had led the country. During the post-war era, Zedrutian authorities then banned the French language from schools completely, and gave Ruralian POWs political amnesty if they served in their country in an attempt to appeal themselves to the population. As the United States of Megaton and Columbia began turning their backs on Zedrutia, the military government then declared themselves as anti-communist and as a result a genocide occurred which resulted in 50,000 people dead, with the majority of them being innocent civilians, women, government workers and children. The following year, the Zedrutian military government joined the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and exiled political members affiliated with the PAZ formerly and executed them

Weeks after the State of Zedrutia joined the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, it gained recognition and earned a reputation within the organization, and it would be recognized as the legitimate government compared to the democratic government in exile, it was also during this year that the Zedrutian military government and the general became unpopular due to the actions and the purging of 50,000 civillians. Then, the Zedrutian military government proceeded to continue the ethnic cleansing of Jews within the country and as a result many of the remaining Jews were rounded up and evicted from many other cities, forcing some of them to build small and scattered communities throughout the rural areas. Jews also continued to be purged and massacred, resulting in many of their population dwindling from over 4 million survivors to just 570,000 remaining.

Although Zedrutia had recovered from the Second Great War, it emerged in an unstable way, as the economy and the Zedrutian Krolaw would be frequent to downfalls and several financial crisis events occurred, resulting in the devastation of the economy, the capital city, Zarush, was completely rebuilt and it was filled to the brink with landmarks constructed to commemorate the Zedrutian military leader, it was also during this year that industry began rapidly booming in Zedrutia, which resulted in frequent diseases and poor conditions within parts of the capital city. It wasn't uncovered by many news networks and journalists staying in the country at the time, as the Zedrutian military government had instated total control over the country including information coming in and out of the country.

In 1954, the Zedrutian military government then set their sights on the disputed territorial waters south of Kromzamske and Tarnochowice, and threatened Crimsonia, this would eventually lead to a small scale conflict in 1958 which lasted for nearly over 2 years and it would end in a stalemate and a treaty was signed during the late phases of the Bistonian Conflict.

Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict (1958 - 1960)
The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict was a small scale conflict fought between the People's Republic of Crimsonia and the Zedrutian government during the Bistonian Conflict. Despite being a small scale conflict, the Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict was an event which could potentially trigger the beginning of the Third Great War and a nuclear war exchange between the United States of Megaton and Columbia and the Union of Orchrestran. Despite being a small scale event which could decimate humanity, the conflict was barely recognized and well known throughout the two countries, as both Crimsonia and Zedrutia controlled information coming in and inside their own countries and both ended up covering up information about the conflict afterwards, in the 90s, Zedrutian veterans claimed that there was a small conflict between Crimsonia at the time, however it was denied. It was then recognized as a part of history after documents were leaked and sent to the Zedrutian government after the collapse of the People's Republic of Crimsonia in 1995.

Prior to the Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict and prior to the beginning of the Cold War, Crimmitonia annexed small islands located near Kromzamske and Tarnochowice, much to the disapproval of many local residents living on the island, however, Zedrutia couldn't do anything with it since they were under occupation by Ruralia and Crimmitonia, after the allied invasion of Zedrutia and the end of the war, Crimmitonia kept the island in their own hands despite being forced to give up territories they stole from their neighbors, and they continued to assimilate the population in the island. As the year reached the 50s, the Zedrutian military government wanted to gain the territory, and as a result it deployed the Zedrutian navy in 1954, surrounding the island in the process with backing from the United States of Megaton and Columbia. As tension increased, the Crimsonian government responded by constructing defenses and outposts on the island, turning it into a temporary fortress in an attempt to repell Zedrutia. Then, Zedrutia responded with deploying more battleships, and Crimsonia did the same thing, however, due to the tension, the United States of Megaton and Columbia declared neutrality in the tension and claimed no responsibility for it, and the tensions would later slow down and it would freeze for another 4 years.

In 1957, the Great Famine in Bistonia led to the beginning of the Bistonian Conflict, which then overwhelmed the Crimsonian government, and as the Bistonian Conflict began turning worse, the Crimsonian government withdrew many of its forces from the islands, albeit they left a division remaining on the island incase if things had went wrong, as the Zedrutian military government was informed of the news, they began clashes along the coastal territories near the islands, resulting in tensions resurfacing and it resulted in the spark of a war called the Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict, although Crimsonia had to deal with Bistonian rebels despite the islands being surrounded by enemies. After the clashes, the Zedrutian army successfully managed to destroy sections of the defenses and landed on the island, and many attacks to counter against Crimsonian forces worked, however, before they could potentially seize the island, the Crimsonian government then threatened the Zedrutian military administration to halt the flow of troops into the conflict or else they would bombard Zarush, however, the threat didn't work and it only led the Zedrutian military government into instating policies which forced many of its civillians into the war, but it was abruptly stopped by a demonstration in Kromzamske and Tarnochowice in which the military responded with brutal action, resulting in hundreds dead.

Due to the constant instability within the two sides, the war reached into a stalemate, and the island still remained, however, it resumed a year after the stalemates, and hundreds of troops were killed in the process, the war then ended with no treaty signed, and many of the islands infrastructure was destroyed and an evacuation was imposed, however, due to the Bistonian Conflict, the Gohrsa aided with the evacuation. Despite being a small scale conflict, it carved a deep legacy, as the Zedrutian military government had nearly caused the imminent destruction of Zedrutia despite recovering from the Second Great War, however despite many decades after the war, many journalists and ordinary citizens were not aware of the conflict which had happened, and only a few high ranking officials, historians and veterans knew it, however they did not have enough sufficient evidence, as many defenses and graves of soldiers were not found. It was only mentioned in a few documents. The conflict was also on the verge of beginning a major nuclear war.

After the war had ended and the Gohrsa evacuated many civillians from the islands, both Zedrutia and Crimsonia began opening talks and began cooperating months after Bistonia gained independence, and an agreement was signed allowing the demilitarization of the sea, resulting in many Crimsonian bases abandoned in the process and Zedrutia doing the same, although the treaty had been signed, many of the locals had been confused, as they were not aware of the conflict before. The Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict became a bygone event until in 1995 after the collapse of Crimsonia, documents were leaked confirming the existence of a conflict between Zedrutia and Crimsonia, however it was a small scale conflict.

Zedrutian Revolution
In the aftermath of the Zedrutian-Crimsonian Conflict and the instability which had been carried out by demonstrations in Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, underground movements within mainland Zedrutia sprung up across the country, aiming to reestablish democracy within Zedrutia and overthrow the military government which had been ruling the country for nearly 13 years, most of these underground movements were founded by student leaders, political opponents and dissidents living in the country, and they had a main goal in mind to reestablish democracy. These underground movements then later on grew in size, and rallies were held in several other cities. After the Zedrutian authorities were informed of underground movements, they began their heavy crackdown on those underground movements by purging some of its members, despite the crackdown, these underground movements did not back down, and continued to resist against Zedrutian authorities until the year of 1969, when one of the underground movements leaders was assassinated under the orders of Zedrutian authorities, leading to a massive outcry from the population.

The Zedrutian Revolution officially began days after the assassination of one of the underground movements leaders, and would begin in the city of Byeradzina, a coastal city in Western Zedrutia, in which students from a local university took to the streets in opposition of the military government, demanding the overthrow of the military government. Although it had succeeded, it was immediately put down by the Zedrutian military after they were deployed to the city, with Zedrutia's military junta demanding all of the people within the country to stop demonstrating immediately otherwise they would face consequences, however, the underground movements in several cities retaliated by protesting, which would later grow into large crowds, it would first begin in the city of Vakolov, Zedrutia's second largest city, then eventually Starobryzn, then Pustokopsk, and eventually Zedrutia's capital city, Zarush. It then also began spreading to both cities of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, where it would later on turn violent. Protests eventually turned into riots, as most protestors began setting fire on government buildings and stormed police departments, and eventually began arming themselves.

Although the Zedrutian Revolution had potential into reestablishing democracy, the Zedrutian military government didn't back down so easily. After weeks of continued violence and protests which had overwhelmed the country completely, the Zedrutian military government responded under constant pressure by brutally crushing the unrest in the country. The Zedrutian military was then deployed to the capital city of Zarush and shots were fired in the city square resulting in hundreds dead and the protests stopped temporarily, however, although it was a temporary solution, the Zedrutian military government later on deployed military police to several cities, including Vakolov, where thousands of protestors were shot dead, then the same thing had occurred in Starobryzn, including Pustokopsk, and the Zedrutian military began cracking down on protests across the country, however, there were minor setbacks, due to the exhaustion and tensions within the ranks of the Zedrutian military, mutinies then occurred in the city of Vakolov, then occurred in Starobryzn, accelerating the unrest in the country. Although it had been worse across all cities in mainland Zedrutia, Kromząmske and Tarnochowice was one of the most affected, as authority in the province had collapsed, and several resistance groups had taken over the province.

Eventually, in the aftermath of the mutiny, most of the Zedrutian military defected towards the side of the protestors, and the Zedrutian military had trapped the military junta in the city of Zarush. Clashes between mutineers and the remaining parts of the Zedrutian military which remained loyal to the military government became a regular occurrence during the Zedrutian Revolution, and weeks after they had defected to the protestors, most of mainland Zedrutia's cities fell to resistance, and only a few of them remained under the control of the military government, and weeks after the military government lost control of most of its main cities, resistance, including the Zedrutian military, entered the capital city of Zarush, and stormed parliament including the office of the military government, and set fire to several government buildings in the process, violence then erupted quickly, and the leader of the military government was publicly executed in Zarush, and the military government then collapsed, ending the 13 year rule and ending the Zedrutian Revolution.

Provisional government
In the aftermath of the Zedrutian Revolution and the collapse of the military government, a provisional government in Zedrutia was established allowing for a peaceful transitional period of democracy, and the provisional government had been comprised of students and opposition leaders, with promises of free elections by late 1969. Although the country had allowed for a peaceful transition of power, it had setbacks, in which the provisional government was unstable, with political infighting within the provisional government becoming a regular occurrence and as a result members from left-wing political parties in Zedrutia faced a brutal crackdown by Zedrutian authorities and as a result it was forced to flee to Kromząmske and Tarnochowice. Violence continued in several cities despite the end of the revolution, with the Zedrutian military constantly deployed to several cities to crush remnants of the military government and elections were constantly postponed.

Although the violence had been put down in several cities, including mainland Zedrutia, violence continued across Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, between various rebel groups over control of the island, and Zedrutian units were deployed to Kromząmske in an attempt to stabilize and secure the region to put down the situation. However, before they could potentially secure the entire island, Zedrutian rebel groups in the province and parts of the city of Kromząmske began numerous clashes against Zedrutian military forces, as the rebel groups had thought that the military government had put down the uprising in mainland Zedrutia, and as a result it would escalate into a conflict. In the aftermath of the battle, Zedrutian units forced the rebels out of the city, which led to controversy within the provisional government, which forced them to leave the rebel groups alone in exchange for foreign aid.

As part of a transition to democracy, the Zedrutian provisional government had proposed plans to change the names of all of the cities in mainland Zedrutia, in which votes were held whether or not the residents in the city want to change their name or not. However, most of the residents in several cities had demonstrated against this action, claiming the provisional government had wanted to erase historical names and their history, and as a result the votes were cancelled in several cities, and as the votes had ended, the majority of the residents in several cities had voted no, and only 3 cities accepted for a name change. These cities would be Mahivysk, the Zedrutian capital city, Zarush, and Zedrutia's largest city, Vakolov. And new names were given for the cities. Mahivysk would later on be renamed as Starobrzych, later on Starobryzn, the city of Vakolov would be renamed New Gdansk, and Zedrutia's capital city, Zarush, would be later on called Kiezyn. After the cities new names were planned, the names of the cities would only be changed after the end of the elections.

In late 1969, after elections continued to be postponed due to clashes in several cities across mainland Zedrutia, elections were finally held on December 2nd 1969, and after the elections ended, a new president was eventually chosen, and on December 25th 1969, a parade was held commemorating the beginning of a democratic government in the capital city of Zarush, and the Second Republic of Zedrutia was established, marking the end of the provisional government. The Zedrutian constitution was rewritten again, and after the Second Republic of Zedrutia had been established, the cities had been renamed, and violence in Kromząmske and Tarnochowice had gradually stopped, resulting in a period of slow stability in the island, however this would later on be interrupted by the beginning of the Zedrutian Communist Party.

Second Republic of Zedrutia (1969 - 2079)
During the early years of the Second Republic of Zedrutia in the early 70s, the population had grown rapidly, and living conditions, infrastructure and GDP had improved ever since the 1960s, and the Zedrutian government had risen to the top and would be seen to the world as a democratic and free state during the era of the Cold War. In the year of 1971, the Second Republic of Zedrutia declared neutrality, and joined the non-aligned movement, which was a organization comprised of neutral states during the Cold War, despite Zedrutia's background during the early phases of it.

The following year, as the Republic of Zedrutia had joined the Non-Aligned Movement, the Republic of Zedrutia joined the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, and made an open alliance with the St. Ark Federation, including the Republic of Bistonia and the Western Bloc and became trading partners. A new flag, which comprised of two orange sides and a white side in the middle was adopted as Zedrutia's new flag, The Zedrutian government would also impose reforms, such as granting tribes situated in East Zedrutia equal citizen status as everyone in the country, and reservations for tribes, which had been there since 1900, would be dissolved.

Although the Republic of Zedrutia was seen as a progressive, free and democratic country, it had a dark side, and it would later on resurface which resulted in the 1971 bomb attack which had occurred in the city of Tarnochowice. The bomb attack occurred in the morning rush hours of the city of Tarnochowice when a van, containing bombs, detonated infront of a trainstation in the city center of Tarnochowice, resulting in the deaths of 12 people and 23 people injured, and as a result the bomb attack became public and would be displayed nationwide across Zedrutia, in which it resulted in a major panic across the country, including Tarnochowice. After further investigation, it was later on linked to a perpetrator, which had allegedly belonged to the Zedrutian Communist Party, in which the perpetrator responded that he had orchestrated the attack to fulfill a political motive, which resulted in the deployment of troops to both Kromząmske and Tarnochowice and a curfew was instated and the Zedrutian Armed Forces would be deployed to the Kromząmske and Tarnochowice International Airport the following year in the bomb attacks.

Tarnochowice Civil War
"Main article: State of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice"After the Tarnochowice bombing, the Zedrutian government announced the declaration of martial law in Kromząmske and Tarnochowice until 1973, By 1972, the panic as a result of the bombing had died out in Tarnochowice and across mainland Zedrutia, and life relatively continued, however, the Zedrutian Armed Forces had remained scattered throughout the province to search for strongholds belonging to the rebel group despite their last sighting in the year of 1971, and the Zedrutian Communist Party remained hiding in the countryside areas and guerilla warfare would become common. As a result of this, Zedrutian troops would be terrified of the outcome, and often avoided several areas. However, over the months, skirmishes between the two sides became common and a total lockdown in Tarnochowice was instated. However, rebels from the Zedrutian Communist Party would take advantage of the martial law and in early 1972 Zedrutian military bases were attacked by rebel forces and two of them had been completely taken over and the rebels had reached the city of Tarnochowice, despite many of the Zedrutian military's attempts to quell down the operation they clashed towards eachother in the city of Tarnochowice eventually resulting in a decisive victory by the ZCP, at this point the Zedrutian Armed Forces began their complete withdrawal from the city of Tarnochowice and the Tarnochowice Civil War began.

Despite many resistance pockets in Tarnochowice, resistance was quelled by the ZCP and rebels were quickly directed to the Kromząmske and Tarnochowice Railway which would be considered an important route to the city of Kromząmske, as many areas fell under the ZCP the Zedrutian government went into panick and small forces were deployed to defend the frontlines of the brutal Tarnochowice Civil War. However they had failed and in mid 1972 most of the islands territories had been captured by ZCP rebels. Although forces managed to repell rebels from the city of Tarnochowice, they had been encircled. By mid 1972, only the remaining large cities of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice remained under Zedrutian control including major roads and railways and it was viewed that the Zedrutian Armed Forces were capable of winning the war against the ZCP, but however the ZCP had stolen weapons and vehicles from captured military bases and ZCP's new arsenal forced the ZAF to highways and the two large cities.

Evacuation of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice
"Main article: State of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice"In late 1972, the Tarnochowice Civil War was a loss for ZAF and in the following day the Zedrutian government would send an emergency and final broadcast to civillians living in Kromząmske and Tarnochowice through radio stations and would order the evacuation of civillians from the island in a airport in the city of Kromząmske by the Zedrutian Airforce and it would be supported by the Zedrutian airline FlyZarush the following day. The evacuation progress was rushed and the situation became chaotic as ZCP began moving into the city of Kromząmske at the midnight hours of the evacuation. At 11:53 PM a few Zedrutian military aircraft landed in the runway of the international airport and many civillians were evacuated. However during the process of evacuation and their takeoff, a ZF-12B1 military aircraft was shot down by ZCP rebels 10 minutes after takeoff. However eventually the ZAF pushed out many ZCP rebels from several districts of the city and defended it in order for more people to evacuate the city.

In the aftermath of the evacuation, a total of 7,000 civillians fled the city of Kromząmske as part of the Zedrutian military's efforts and eventually the last Zedrutian military aircraft was boarded along with one of the last troops in Kromząmske, eventually the Zedrutian military had completely withdrew from Kromząmske and the city fell into the hands of ZCP rebels an hour after their evacuation effort. In Tarnochowice over 12,000 civillians were evacuated before Zedrutia's complete withdrawal from the region in one of Zedrutia's last operation airforce bases. The next day the Zedrutian government had completely abandoned the province of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice in 1972, marking the end of the Tarnochowice Civil War. In the morning hours of complete ZCP rule of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice, many ZCP remnants fled to the eastern coast of Tarnochowice and along with generals formed a united resistance front known as the United Zedrutian People's Resistance and many civillians flocked to the eastern coast to fight for their cause. They used equipment abandoned by the ZAF and in 1973 half of the east coast of Tarnochowice fell under the hands of the UZPR and after an offensive they had captured a portion of the northern territories of the province and by mid 1973 they had marched in a short distance of the city of Tarnochowice. They would launch an operation and ambushed several positions in the northern district of Tarnochowice.

Siege of Tarnochowice
"Main article: State of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice"In the early hours of the afternoon in 1974, ZCP rebel forces rolled down to the city of Kromząmske with tanks captured from the Zedrutian Armed Forces earlier and during those hours ZCP rebel forces seized government offices belonging to the ZCP and hours later the leader of the Zedrutian Communist Party would be overthrown by rebel forces. A curfew was instated in both cities and a new leadership was later on announced days after the coup d'etat. As a result of the coup d'etat, the Zedrutian Armed Forces arrived in large quantities in coastal areas controlled by the United Zedrutian People's Resistance and they would eventually form a united front and along with the arrival they had deployed over 500 military aircraft to bombard military bases controlled by ZCP rebel forces. This would officially begin the Siege of Tarnochowice in 1974 after rebel forces were weakened by the bombardment.

The Siege of Tarnochowice officially began when ZCP rebels were forced to retreat after a skirmish in the northern highways leading to the city, news of a potential battle which would capture the entire city began spreading to the main command of the ZCP, the administration responded by sending 4 of its best equipped divisions to the city and the frontlines and promised to many of the people living within the area that many of its forces would secure the city from falling. However there were many setbacks as many of these best equipped divisions were largely outnumbered by thousands of incoming troops.

After a fierce clash between the Zedrutian Armed Forces and ZCP rebels, the ZAF managed to breach into the gateway of the northern city of Tarnochowice and many rebel forces ran away before they could potentially damage roads and bridges leading into the city as Zedrutian forces began rapidly moving in the city and the rebels fled without any fierce resistance and began setting defenses in the city center of northern Tarnochowice, after heavy bombardments the defenses would finally be weakened and Zedrutian government forces began breaching the defenses. Many buildings in the northern parts of the city were also bombarded out of fear of snipers sabotaging their operations including potential ambushes by rebel forces and many civillians were executed. In the aftermath of the destruction of many of its defences in the city center of northern Tarnochowice Zedrutian forces moved into the city center and the rebels were forced to flee the northern areas of Tarnochowice by crossing the river that divided the city and destroyed main bridges leading to the city putting advancements by the ZAF to a halt.

As a result of rebel forces evacuating completely from northern Tarnochowice, the administration within Kromząmske was immediately alerted of the capture of northern Tarnochowice and in a panic decided to deploy more divisions to defend southern Tarnochowice from falling into the hands of the Zedrutian Armed Forces, however in the process of the deployment of more divisions towards the frontlines of Tarnochowice an uprising erupted in several districts across southern Tarnochowice and divisions which were intended to be deployed to the river were redirected to the districts in order to quell the uprising which failed as the Zedrutian Armed Forces began bombarding the city behind enemy lines using artillery shells which disrupted supply lines for rebel troops in combat.

A few days during the siege, ZCP rebel forces were exhausted as the Zedrutian Armed Forces continuously bombard Tarnochowice in order to quell operations aimed at quelling the city uprising and a meeting between commanders and generals were held in the city center of southern Tarnochowice and after a short brief it was decided that the ZCP should withdraw from the city of Tarnochowice including its surroundings in order to further secure and defend the city of Kromząmske which was the temporary capital during the occupation and a broadcast was held demanding all troops and commanders living within southern Tarnochowice would be evacuated by convoys and would let many of the civillians temporarily stay in the districts until further notice however the truth was revealed that many ZCP officials demanded that none of the civillians escape the city by convoys due to the uprising that occured in southern Tarnochowice and left most of the civillians to be killed by artillery shells coming from the northern parts of the city. However a team composed of resistance fighters from the United Zedrutian People's Resistance led most civillian groups underground to evacuate to northern Tarnochowice and provided food and necessities in order for many of them to continue to survive the siege.

In the aftermath of the complete evacuation of Tarnochowice, the Zedrutian Armed Forces crossed the river and entered southern Zedrutia using a bridge temporarily constructed and used the sewage system with the help of the United Zedrutian People's Resistance with directions to reach certain areas within the city and hundreds of ZCP rebel forces were captured in the process and hours later after further inspection of the city the Zedrutian Armed Forces and their tanks rolled into the city center of southern Tarnochowice, marking the end of the week long siege and beginning the collapse of the occupied territories of the ZCP.

In the early morning hours the news of Tarnochowice falling under the hands of the Zedrutian Armed Forces were broadcasted nationwide across Zedrutia with thousands of people in the streets of Tarnochowice celebrating the outcome of the siege, but as a result of the weeks long siege and the heavy bombardment of southern Tarnochowice the city was nearly destroyed beyond recognition as many iconic landmarks from the 19th centuries were destroyed including historical statues and streets and thousands died as a result of operations within the Zedrutian Armed Forces and the district uprisings.

Economic Crisis (1976 - 1988)
In the year of 1976, as a result of the fuel crisis which originated from the United States of Megaton and Columbia, the world entered into a global economic crisis, and Zedrutia would be one of the countries which had been affected by it. During the early phases of the economic crisis, the Zedrutian Krolaw had faced a decline in value and unemployment skyrocketed. As the economy began declining, the Zedrutian government attempted to revitalize the country and received loans, which ended up in failure. The economic crisis would eventually result in the rise of gas prices, and also affected food prices including necessities, as the economic crisis then further worsened, thousands of vehicles were left abandoned in streets all across cities in mainland Zedrutia, and fuel would be seen as a valuable commodity in the country,

Although most of mainland Zedrutia had been devastated by the economic crisis, the province of Kromząmske and Tarnochowice eventually became one of the most affected regions, as the province had recently came out from a civil war that lasted for over 4 years. Prior to the economic crisis, the Zedrutian government had made promises to rebuild Kromząmske and Tarnochowice after the civil war, and provided funding in an attempt to do so, however, they stopped most of their efforts in an attempt to repopulate and rebuild the city of Tarnochowice, and after frustrating residents in the city, it would later on become one of the main factors for demonstrations against the Zedrutian government in Tarnochowice, and the situation became dire in the two cities, as thousands of people continued to starve.

The Zedrutian Armed Forces was also affected by the crisis, as their funding stopped flowing after a decision was made by the Zedrutian parliament in Kiezyn to cut its military spending. Because of this, the Zedrutian military could not purchase the necessary weapons and equipment needed to fund their efforts into stabilizing the region, which led to the resurgence of the Zedrutian Communist Party, which would later on escalate in the 1976 riots.

New Shingleton Incident
"Main article: New Shingleton Incident"The New Shingleton Incident in 1989 was an accident that occured in the St. Ark Federation after the reopening of its borders, the New Shingleton Incident changed the world and contributed to the damage of reputation of the People's Republic of Crimsonia and their eventual civil war in 1992, a Boeing 747 aircraft crashed in the middle of the Scattered Islands after a known man shot the aircraft with a missile.

The Boeing 747 aircraft contained a small amount of passengers from the Republic of Zedrutian, however not much of these passengers were widely known as civillians from the country but the Republic of Zedrutian along with many other countries responded to the devastating incident in the St. Ark Federation, calling it a devastating cause, this also led to the Republic of Zedrutian imposing isolationism for around 10 years.

The New Shingleton Incident in 1989 changed the Republic of Zedrutian's transportation completely, and led to the imposing of isolationism away from other countries and lasted over 10 years until it ended in 1999 after the complete collapse of comm

unist countries in Eastern Mesothemia and many other continents worldwide, to this day the New Shingleton Incident had carved a major legacy within their transportation board.

Modern Day
The Republic of Zedrutian in the modern day is now a rich country, behind the Republic of Bistonia in 2024, however not much is known after the New Shingleton Incident and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in Zedrutian, other than being a superpower and mostly targeted by nuclear weapons.

Destruction
Like many other countries, the Republic of Zedrutian ended in late 2079 after the Third Great War that occured, causing the Republic of Bistonia and the alleged New Vilnius Research Facility to launch their special nuclear weapons and hit directed areas including the Republic of Zedrutian, Minutes later after detonations in Zedrutia They fighted back by launching 6 Nuclear Bombs to Bistonia, however unlike many other countries in the era of The Void, the Republic of Zedrutian's "The Void" was much much more worse.

The Republic of Zedrutian after 2079 is now a wasteland, complete with skeletal buildings and skyscrapers, mutants and hoarded with raiders, however a hundred years later most of civilization in Zedrutian has risen up to spread a new democratic ideology across the wasteland, making Zedrutian one of the most civilized wastelands in the post-war era.

Geography
The geography of Zedrutia has a very large landmass, and is considered a continent towards other countries, it is situated east of Mesothemia and north of Bistonia, in the western parts of Zedrutia, land is completely flat and is also where the capital city of Zarush is situated, Zedrutia is not very diverse, it is situated between two unknown seas, in eastern Zedrutia it is completely mountainous.

Western Zedrutia
Western Zedrutia is where mainland Zedrutia is situated including the capital city of Zarush and Krasnoazhyn, the land is completely flat which allows easy transportation and access to many parts of the country including cities, it is currently the most developed region in the Republic of Zedrutian and many large cities are situated in the region, a large lake is also situated in Western Zedrutia, supplying most of its water.

However, not much is known about the region of Western Zedrutia as they do not make an appearance in New Shingleton except for their civillians and the roles, and that most of the games planned do not mention the existence of the country, and in conclusion Western Zedrutia is not widely written.

Eastern Zedrutia
Eastern Zedrutia is the most poorest, rural region of Zedrutia, compared to the region of Western Zedrutia, the landmass of Eastern Zedrutia is neglected among the democratic goverment, Eastern Zedrutia is mainly rough and mountainous, and a river also crosses it, it is also widely rural, however the reputation of Eastern Zedrutia has been tarnished by the people in the western region with stereotypical thoughts.

Along with Western Zedrutia and the entire country, not much is known about the villages, cities and roads of Eastern Zedrutia, as they are also not mentioned in New Shingleton.

States
Not much is known about the states in the Republic of Zedrutian, but it is most likely that states are smaller in Western Zedrutia and that states are much more bigger in Eastern Zedrutia, however the only mentioned state is Krasnoazhyn.

Krasnoazhyn
Krasnoazhyn is the officially known state in the Republic of Zedrutian in the lore, however not much is known about the state of Krasnoazhyn but it is known historically that Zarush is the former capital of the state before the First Republic of Zedrutian was declared, Krasnoazhyn was the second most populous state behind the city of Zarush.

Cities
Again, not much is known about the cities in the Republic of Zedrutian, their capital city, Zarush is only mentioned, but other cities are barely mentioned and most are unknown in both regions.

Minorities
Minorities in the Republic of Zedrutian are not known, it is guessed however that there are more than 8 minority groups in Eastern Zedrutia due to their remote location and mountainous areas, however the only main minority which controls Zedrutia and the main majority of the population are the Polish.

Polish
The Republic of Zedrutian's main majority and minority in the country is the Polish people and they've been always the main majority for hundreds of centuries, the Polish people fled with the Lithuanians out of Mesothemia after the Mongol Empire's conquest of Eastern Mesothemia, however the Polish people's split away from the Lithuanians and settled into the land known as Zedrutia, and the Lithuanians settling into the land known as Bistonia.

Unlike the Lithuanians in which their culture drastically changed in the 1600s, the Polish people and their culture including their language has not changed during the centuries until their eventual conquest by the Ottomans and the French, the Polish culture was nearly eliminated during the conquest and rose up after the independence of the Republic of Zedrutian.

Military
The Republic of Zedrutian's military rose from a small organized force with French equipment to a massive army that protected Zedrutia and its people, during the Second Great War they were destroyed and revived during the post-war recovery, during this they took advantage of the withdrawal and tookover the country, during their years the military has instated a totalitarian government and has control over their population, the press and information coming outside of the country.

Zedrutian Armed Forces
The Zedrutian Armed Forces, also known as ZAF, is the only military force along with the airforce and the navy in the Republic of Zedrutian, however during the early years of the 50s, they have complete control of the government and had control over the population including the press, and neglected the development of the country, however after the Zedrutian Revolution they have been limited to a massive military force aimed to defend the country.

The Zedrutian Armed Forces are estimated to be equal with the size of the Bistonian Armed Forces, however their democratic reforms led to the underfunding of the Zedrutian military.

Zedrutian Air Force
The Offical Air Force Of Zedrutia, Founded Back During 50's, It was mostly Used for Bombing ZCP Bases.

Zedrutian Navy
Due to Golden Age, Zedrutia Used Modern Ships In 80's. Founded back in 60's, During invasion of Kromząnskie it was used to transport Zedrutian Armed Forces.

Structure
The Republic of Zedrutian's societal structure presented true progress and freedom, with the population enjoying decent wages and middle class income, their societal structure has rapidly prospered after the downfall of the military government in 1969, the structure promises and provides high standards of living, safety and economic freedom as well as free university education and a universal healthcare system, and the presence of a legitimate government, however the societal structure hasn't been progressive for nearly a decade ever since the economic crisis nearly paralyzed their development and currency.

Equality
In the democratic constitution of the Republic of Zedrutian, adopted by the national assembly in 1985, guarantees a multi-party state with freedoms of religion, speech and assembly, prohibition of practice of forced medical experimentation, torture, corporal punishment, and the acknowledgement of the inviolability of the home, the right to form trade unions and the right for the population to strike. The legal system of Zedrutia is based on the principle of civil rights, governed by the code of civil law.

The Zedrutian government promoted and enforced equality laws stated above, and introduced universal womens suffrage, the homicide rate in the Republic of Zedrutia alone are very low. Rape, assault and violent crime remain at a very low level, although not all cases are recorded by the authorities, but the right for women to commit abortions throughout the country are prohibited unless its permitted only in cases of rape, incest or when the woman's life is in danger. forcing some women to seek abortion abroad, and others to seek the assistance of psychiatrists willing to testify on the negative psychological impact of stillbirth.

In the current democratic constitution, the Republic of Zedrutia and it's government does not criminalize homosexuality, this legality was confirmed in 1971 but the Zedrutian constitution defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman and not mentioning homosexuality within this definition.

Economy
The economic structure of the Republic of Zedrutian enjoyed the existence of a free market economy, unlike many other countries, the economic structure in the Republic of Zedrutian had been growing at a fast rate. Having a strong domestic market, low private debt, low unemployment rate, flexible currency, and not being dependent on a single export sector, the Republic of Zedrutian nearly avoided many economic recessions, the main exports in the Republic of Zedrutian by the events of New Shingleton in 1989 include machinery, furniture, food products, clothing, shoes and cosmetics, forming the backbone for Zedrutia's economy.

The Republic of Zedrutia's largest trading partners included the Republic of Bistonia, the St. Ark Federation, the United States of Megaton and Columbia and many other more, the Republic of Zedrutia's city of Zarush leads foreign investment, in 1987, the unemployment rate was estimated at 4%, one of the lowest in the world, and passed a law that would exempt workers in the country under the age of 21 from income tax. It is also one of the world's biggest producers of copper, silver, coal, furniture, and automotive parts.

Currency
The currency of the Republic of Zedrutia in the late 80s is the Zedrutian Krolaw, (ZK). The Zedrutian Krolaw was adopted as a official currency in the Republic of Zedrutian after its independence from France in 1918, it was officially introduced to replace it's predecessor, the Zedrutian Polfe following the hyperinflation and monetary chaos of the years following the First Great War, and began circulation and use in 1920.

During the 1940s, the Zedrutian Krolaw was on the verge of becoming completely useless, and slowly rose up during the military government as part of their attempts to revitalize the country and rebuild the country in their shape with loans, the Zedrutian Krolaw had been saved from the eventual economic collapse, and through the early 70s had began its era of high value, however the 1976 economic crisis in Zedrutia led to a sharp decline in the value of the Zedrutian currency, and attempts to revitalize the country with loans ended up in an ultimate failure and paralyzed prosperity, development and contributed to Zedrutia being downgraded behind few countries.

By the events of 1989 and the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, the Zedrutian Krolaw had been saved from the sharp decline of value, and it was valued at around 10% of the USMC Dollar and the Bistonian Provis, and by the events of the 2000s, the Zedrutian Krolaw became one of the most valuable and strongest currencies in the world.

Population
Since 1969, the population in the Republic of Zedrutian had been increasing at a high rate in population, better education, better healthcare and much more better job opportunities compared to Sidan and many other countries, despite the progression of Zedrutia's development being paralyzed by the economic collapse, the population and conditions became progressive in 20 years, by 1989, the total population in the Republic of Zedrutian has been around 34 million people, the large numbers give the Zedrutian Armed Forces advantage for mass recruits and large manpower which give the military much more manpower in operations involving war despite its underfunding.

Because of the large population, many people sustained the population with crops and food from farms in Eastern Zedrutia, which benefited from larger cities, however the large population did not contribute to the drawbacks of the Republic of Zedrutian compared to the Democratic Republic of Sidan due to its free market economy, and the possibility of a famine and food shortage is low.

In the 2000s and modern day, the Republic of Zedrutian's population continued to increase at a high rate, keeping around 50 million people within its borders. It had a population density of 122 inhabitants per square, and the total fertility rate in the Republic of Zedrutian was estimated at 2.44 children born to a woman, a considerable rise from decades ago, furthermore Zedrutia's population is aging significantly and the median age was 41 years, The crude death rate in 1989 stood at 10.2 per 1,000 people.

Language
Polish is the official language of the Republic of Zedrutian with nearly 97% of respondents declaring Polish as their mother tongue. and used throughout the world by Polish minorities in other countries, Polish is also considered as a third language in the Republic of Bistonia where it is taught in schools and unive rsities, Zedrutia's once multi-ethnic population communicated in numerous languages and lects in Eastern Zedrutia which faded or disappeared along the course of history, there are currently 12 minority languages in Eastern Zedrutia.

The second official language of the Republic of Zedrutian is French due to the heavy influence brought by them during their colonial rule, the French language is taught in schools and universities across the Republic of Zedrutian, More than 50% of Zedrutian citizens declare at least basic knowledge of the French language, however because of the rise of Polish culture after their independence in 1918 led to some schools abolishing the compulsory learning of the French language, with some private schools currently teaching most of its students French.

Religion
Nearly 95% of all Zedrutian citizens adhere to the Roman Catholic Church, with the majority of them being believers and some being irreligious, making Zedrutia one of the most devout countries and in the constitution outlined that religion is highly important, with religious tolerance being an important part of Zedrutian political culture although sometimes varied, in 1971 marked the formal beginning of extensive religious freedoms in Zedrutia.

Political
Since 1969, the Republic of Zedrutia is a parliamentary republic, with the head of state as the president of the country. The government structure centers on the Council of Ministers, led by a prime minister, the president appoints the cabinet according to the proposals of the prime minister and the president is elected by popular vote every five years.

The judicial branch played an important role in decision making for the Zedrutian political structure, with its major institutions being the supreme court and the supreme administrative courts, and the ombudsman has the duty of guarding the observance and implementation of the rights and liberties of Polish citizens and residents, of the law and of principles of community life and social justice.

Relations
Relations between the Republic of Zedrutian and many foreign countries were very good and stable as part of the Zedrutian government pursuing policies to extend the governments role in international affairs across the world and in the Mesothemian continent, the Republic of Zedrutian emerged as a regional power in the early 90s aswell after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, and had fierce tensions with dictatorships and authoritarian regimes throughout the world because of its alleged capitalist ideals.

Republic of Bistonia
The Republic of Bistonia is one of the most greatest and closest allies of the Republic of Zedrutia since the 70s, establishing trade and became one of the main traders of products produced in the Republic of Zedrutian, however Bistonia had slightly disliked Zedrutia due to its diplomatic relations with the St. Ark Federation from the 70s to the 80s and allegedly working with authorities from the Federation.

St. Ark Federation
The St. Ark Federation and their relations between the Republic of Zedrutian are bitter due to their ties with the Republic of Bistonia, however they both continue to establish trade and the Federation became one of the countries trading products from Zedrutia, with the Republic of Zedrutian being condemned by nations for supporting the military government and allegedly working with authorities from the Federation to cover up crimes and records.

United States of Megaton and Columbia
Over the past decades, the Republic of Zedrutian significantly strengthened its ties with the United States of Megaton and Columbia, thus becoming one of its closest and most important allies, the Republic of Zedrutian was part of the USMC-led coalition force during the invasion of the Democratic Republic of Sidan in 2008, and sent its troops in the first phase of the conflict with joint forces, along with the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, Zedrutia maintained military presence in the Republic of Sidan during its civil war, and in the demilitarized zone of Arshturn.

Commonwealth of United and Free Nations
Despite its status as a large superpower and having a landmass as twice as the Republic of Bistonia, the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations saw the Republic of Zedrutian as a normal member within their organization compared to the Republic of Bistonia, and never became part of the CUFN security council, however not much is known about Zedrutia's relations with the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations, but however in 1987 a vote was announced declaring sanctions on the Republic of Zedrutian during the Crimsonian-Bistonian War, however this was largely declined.
