Etymology
Spoiler: click to toggle Poksrae comes from the ancient language Klevekan, spoken in the oldest districts in Graekurov. The word Poksrae means "Land of Cold Stones" (Pok= cold stone, rae deriving from ae, which means land). When founded, Poksrae adopted the Klevekan and russian language, which then gave birth to the modern poukslandic tongue.
History
Founding and Medieval Times
Spoiler: click to toggle he history of Pouksland begins in the year 1187, during the First Kingdom Wars (1173-1194). The Northern Kingdom of the Holy Fields of Graekurov established the colony of Poksrae in order to serve as HQ for the Royal Armed Forces, as well as a barrier town to protect the northern side of the battlefield. The colony was primarily formed by 4 initial cities: Claur, Bäess, Sevette and Tzüche. The colony has 6 registered attacks from the southern ranks of Sultan Aqueri's Forces, all of them ended in failure. Colonial flag of Pouksland, (1187-1197)The wars ended on October of 1194, with the Kingdom of Graerukov defeated. Due to this, King Buruokav VII demanded a ransom of 530,000,000 widgets. This was a rather excesive demand by the King since he thought that the fault landed solely on Poksrae. After the decree of the debt, the colony of Poksrae demanded representation on the royal court, but after many requests, they were denied. In response to this, the colony started "Ret Kampagnaya ser Otroye" (The campaign of Otroye) which consisted in unrecognition of the king until representation was given. This campaign lasted for nearly 4 years.
Independence
Spoiler: click to toggle On February of 1198, King Buruokav launched an attack on the colony in order to pressure them. After the attack, Orelovi Drevaek summoned the town in order to build up a resistance against the king's threats. Drevaek, along with a few other men attacked and captured a royal outpost, replaced the king's flag with the colonial flag removed of the Graekurovan cross (The first tricolor), and shouted out to the fleeing soldiers the following chant: "Return to your masters, make them know what happens here. Today, we stand against the fire. Tomorrow, we will be the fire!" The First Tricolor, Independent flag of Pouksland, (1198-1419)After this, the war for independence began. Initial assaults commenced on Pouksland's docks with Graekurovan warships attacking the coastal settlements and sending soldiers to massacre the settlers (The Coastal Massacres). In response to this, Drevaek formed small armies of men which would engage the invading forces. Most initial battles inclined in favor to Graekurov. In 1204, Drevaek managed to bribe and contract mercenaries to assist them in the battle for independence. This lead to a great group of civilians, mercenaries and townsfolk to partake in a great battle on the Graekurovan embassy (Storming of the 2 castles), which lead to the capture of an immense supply of weapons, cannons, horses and armor. Pouksland was just starting. In 1210, Poukslandic soldiers manage to eradicate every Graekurovan man on the colony. Using captured warships, Pouksland invades Graekurov and takes ahold the north of the country. In 1213, Pouksland offers a ceasefire should their independence be recognized, but the king denies it and demands to exterminate everyone. Drevaek arrives on Graekurov in 1214 and leads the final assault on the Silver Palace located in Mënes. (Storming of the Silver Palace). Eliminating every guard and soldier, the soldiers reach the king's quarters and force him at sword point to sign the "Trota hur ret lavrayun por Poksrae" (Treaty for the liberation of Pouksland). The Poukslandic invaders retrieved of the ravaged kingdom and returned to their new free home. In lack of a king, Orelovi Drevaek proposes a democratic system to rule the land, with a small council of townsfolk to manage with public concern. The people select Drevaek to be president of Pouksland, a new nation forged in blood and steel.
Post Independence
Spoiler: click to toggle After Pouksland's Independence from the Graekurovan kingdom, the initial 4 cities started to expand their territory farther onto the south. Throughout the years, the remaining cities were built. The economical situation of early Pouksland was difficult, but eventually nearby empires and kingdoms accepted them as sovereign nations and trading started to shift. The newly founded cities offered large and fertile lands which increased jobs and population of the country. "The Great Expansion" (Ret Jaga Expanza) ended in 1402, reaching the borders of smaller villages in Tüy and Furrak's limits.
Modernization, The Bonfire of Treason
Spoiler: click to toggle The Bonfire of Treason (Ret Kyenma por Trosnya, 1419-1429) is considered the evolving event in Pouksland which got rid of all medieval elements, and led the nation onto a new age of modernization. In the year 1419, the president at the time, Torro Haverki was assassinated in public by a masked figure with a dagger. After the assassination, a full research was led on the nation. It was then revealed that the assassin was a member of the Poukslandic Order of Pakarik Knights; an order of knights formed after Pouksland's independence to serve as guards and the nation's army. After more researching, a conspiracy was found. A plot of the order of knights to take down the government and implement their own. When this was made public, much of the nation's people searched, captured and killed any members of the order. The search and hunt of the knights lasted 10 years. The most common way of execution for the knights was burning at the stake; many burnings took place all over the country (Hence the name Bonfire of Treason). When the final Pakarik knight, Vito Revei was executed, the order was considered disbanded and the government created an official army. In response to the dissolution of the knights, the people thought that the country had been freed of medieval elements. To celebrate this, the flag was changed on the anniversary of the execution of Revei. (The "reborned" tricolor). The "Reborned" Tricolor, (1429-1727)After The Bonfire of Treason, began a period known as The Period of Calm (Ret Termey por Kalma), in which Pouksland was free of conflict until the year of 1690.
The November Riots and Onaüa's Reign
Spoiler: click to toggle In 1690, Pouksland's recently appointed president, Niraka Onaüa, attempted to implement a new government plan which would replace the democratic-socialist model. This made Niraka last his presidential period for 40 years. Onaüa's government was recognized for being more oppressive, and place the senators and governors above the people. In 1719, Pouksland was threatened by war due to the closing "Antarctic Wars". Pouksland would assist Vakanoland by sending assisting troops but many citizens were against the idea. While attempting to calm the people, the government became a bit totalitarian by seizing different businesses and privatizing them for the purpose of the production of weapons and military equipment. This made various civilians riot on the streets and threatening with a second revolution, bringing an end to Onaüa's reign. This event is known as "The November Riots" (Ret Növerne Türbak) During this time, merchants, low class workers and civilians vandalized various government buildings, demanding Onaüa's resignation and the restoration of taken businesses. As a sign of protest, the Poukslandic flag was modified by dying a darker brown and a lighter blue. Onaüa resigned on 1727, officially toppling down his implementations and restoring the original government model. Onaüa was exiled and died from a fever in France, in 1778. The Rioter's flag (Ret Türborer Vianka) was implemented as the national flag ever since. The Rioter's Flag, the current flag of Pouksland (1727-Present)
Poukslandic Civil War
Spoiler: click to toggle In September of 2013, the 5 southern cities of Mutve, Tüz, Toltz, Furrak and Proyat were illegally and amorally unified as the rogue nation named "Pouksropa", which had risen in response to the Second Guandmarian-Arkotzan war. The rogue nation intended to invade the northern cities and overthrow the poukslandic government; with the intention of setting an anarchy on Pouksland. Foreign intervention from Milroman, Terebithia, Azelia, Boreo, Chiramos and Communist Quinntopia II helped the official forces to repel the southern insurgence. It was revealed that long-time criminal Marco Kruvik had organized an attack weeks prior which had taken control of the 5 cities. On October of the same year, Kruvik was killed and control on the 5 cities was gained again. "Five Silver Stars"; the flag of Pouksropa (2013)
The Grand Conflict, The Red Battles and The Five Days War
Spoiler: click to toggle The Grand Conflict was a series of events which involved a large part of Mazeria's nations, including Pouksland. The conflict started with the official Minkalian invasion of Azelia. During these invasions, Boreo was stroke with riots of communist groups which leaded to the creation of The Socialist Republic of Boreo. This incited for underground Poukslandic communist groups to start riots for a change in government. These riots shifted to aggressive manifestations, which turned into full firefights. These events are known as "The Red Battles" (Ret Raft Berrak). These battles achieved the kidnapping of recently appointed chief of police Karla Wardavoy, steal numerous police equipment and weapons, and eventually, manage a connection with the Minkalian government.
While the firefights increased, a large communist group which was suspected to be funded by the Minkalian government took action in kidnapping president Korpekei and his family, establishing a puppet democracy which declared war on Azelia. The communist government staged a puppet attack which would spark conflict between the two nations. This is known as "The 5 Days War" (Ret Lain Svatak Berra). Conflicts between Poukslandic and Azelian forces were minimal, leading to only 4 casualties on both sides. The conflicts ended when president Korpekei was freed of his imprisonment and the responsible communist group captured.
Kravan Independence
Spoiler: click to toggle In late 2014, the 4 cities of Claur, Khulus, Sveidy and Zarut united under the banner of The Federation of Kravatya, and requested independence from Pouksland. Pouksland officially accepted the request and the new sister nation was born. This meant the loss of 4 cities, as well as famous poukslandic buildings such as the National Theater.
Despite this, relationships between Pouksland and Kravatya have been positive, even boosting.
The Blackout
Spoiler: click to toggle On early 2015, a cloud of unidentified elements covered the region of Pouksland and Kravatya, which caused all electronic devices to no work. The cloud lasted on the region for 4 months, until Pouksland and Kravatya regained control again.
Geography
Climate
Spoiler: click to toggle The climate of Pouksland's coast is subpolar oceanic. Regions in the world with similar climates include Iceland, the Aleutian Islands, the Alaska Peninsula, and Tierra del Fuego, although these regions are closer to the equator. Despite it's proximity to the Arctic, the northern coast remains ice-free through the winter. Ice incursions are rare, the last having occurred on the north coast in 1998.
The climate varies between different parts of the country. Generally speaking, the gulf's is warmer, wetter and windier than the north's. The Central Highlands are the coldest part of the country. Low-lying inland areas in the north are the most arid. Snowfall in winter is more common in the north than the south. Pouksland's predominant biomes include Tundra, Coniferous forest and Alpine.
Biodiversity
Spoiler: click to toggle There are only 800 species of insects in Pouksland, which is low compared to other countries in Mazeria. There are no native species of reptiles or amphibians in the land.
The animals of Pouksland include the grey mountain bear, poukslandic caribou, the snow hare, the marbled wolf, the artic fox, the snow deer, the polar panther and the short tail badger. Marine mammals include the north-poukslandic walrus, the white seal, the Coloruss whale and the leopard seal. Many species of fish are found on Pouksland's coasts, specifically in the Pouksland gulf. Birds are also an important part of Pouksland's animal life. These include the khuluan bluebird, the black-spotted albatross, Käers and Kukunas.
Whale hunting is allowed for only a week every year in Pouksland. Whale reproduction has been fully controlled by the poukslandic government in order to increase the whale population. In early 2003, a proposition was sent to the Court of Justice to decrease the number of whales hunted each year; this proposition has been rejected 3 times.
