History

Unification and Early Era 320-908
The Idea of a Unintra started following the increasing cooperation Between The 3 city-states of Karairan, Luckvarum and Rosvita and Several other smaller Clans. They Desired to formalise this deep Connection with one-another by Officially Declaring The State of 'the group' or Wyunivtra. They were mostly neutral during the early part of their history, owing to their geographic isolation and weak military. they mostly traded with other nations and maintained friendly relations with their more powerful neighbours. the Council of Nobles was Created as the predecessor to the Modern Khongchel. this institution was primarily split between the 3 cities of Unintra, Luckvarum, Rosvita and Karairan. while the other Clans were gven a small amount of Seats compared to them. The king was also given a personal seat in the Council. This was also where the Judiciary and Civil law was created by the Scholars of Unintra. This period was ended though, following the Assasination of a prominent Pro-peasant Noblemen, which resulted in the Luckviram Riots.

Revolution and Imperial Expansion 908-1211
Despite the concessions given to the Protesters and strikers. they weren't at all satisfied. they launched a popular revolution in the events known as the Luckviram Riots. they seized the Capital and killed the Councilmen and Royalty. they then replaced it with a Peasant council, this lasted for a year before the Military, with support from some former Councilmen, retook Luckviram, the center of the Peasant Alliance and brought down the revolution. They brought in charge a member of the military to act as "temporary guardian" of Unintra. where, in reality they wanted to usurp the power of the remaining Councilmen. The Military, led by the General, Andilac, defeated the remaining royalists at the battle of the Zoques Fields. Now with the Nobles gone and the military under full control, Andilac Instituted a number of Reforms meant to pacify the population. he gave the Population increased amounts of food, he cracked down on corruption, and gave a more independant Judiciary. This was also where the 2 first Educational Institutions of Unintra. the Royal University of Unintra, and the Rosvitan School of Science, which were even visited by Andilac. This won the hearts and minds of the Unintran populace, in particular, the Scholars, which were given increased freedom and funding for their experiments. however, his legacy would soon be tarnished, for his military atrocities across Unintra and the Wlumnias Peninsula. He committed infamous warcrimes and participated in the brutal cultural genocide of many of the people living outside Unintra, like the Sistia slaughter, or the Erkili Genocide. He expanded the to the size they were today, all in a bid to Unite the Various People of what he Called his Wlumnias Dream. His atrocities were kept secret until only recently, and many people still have mixed feeling about his legacy. but a popular name that is associated by him is the Luckviram Tyrant. His regime was succeeded by his son and grandson, until the military Junta was brought down by internal strife, and replaced by a Technocratic Aristocracy.

Religion
Religion has never really took hold in Unintra, there are traditions and ritual customs, but throughout most of it's history, They have not been categorized in an organized religion. The most religious of the Ethnic groups are the Yuianians, which hold religion as the most important part of their lives, they are fanatic followers of their religion and is the main religious group in Unintra, the others being either foreign religions or tribal beliefs. the Yuianians also brought their local Religion to Unintra as a consequence. Whereas the most atheist are the Rosvitans, who have often ridiculed the idea of Religion, and instead purely believe that science is the reason for the universe. this has led to historical tensions between the 2 ethnic groups and city-states. however, with the increasing friendship and cooperation between them, the Rosvitans and Yuianians have both moderated their stances, and adopted a more moderate view on Religion. In the current era, the government is ruled secularly, with separation of the state from religious institutions. religious surveys and statistics are often inaccurate, as while a Wyunintran may say hey are religious, but not follow their religious traditions, only following their parents that came before them. There is also the issue of Culture vs Religion, where some view a custom to be Cultural custom and others believe that its a religious ritual however, a significant population do not believe in a specific religion. due to the more technologically inclined culture of the main Wyunintran Branch. There howeer exists Strong laws that protect the freedom of Religion, such as the Second Article of the Bill of Rights, which proclaims the freedom of expression and religion, as an essential right, and that no one should be disadvantaged or subject to unlawful discrimination because of it, among others. Religion is taught in school From a historical point of view, teaching about their similarities and differences. Religious Classes are also provided as extra courses in school, as an option for those who want to.

Arts and Literature
Arts and Literature in Unintra are viewed Differently depending on Where you go, some, like the More Conservative Rosvitans, believe that Art works merely as a distraction than an actual Product that can be used. While others, like the Artistic Luckvirams, view Art as Representation of the soul, and Mind, a way to feel escape, share ideas, and Free your imagination. Culturally, most of the more famous pieces of Unintran Culture, like it's Triangular Based Architecture, is From Luckvarum. Luckvarum is the undisputed Center of Arts and Culture in Unintra, so much so that Foreigners when asked will know what Luckvarum is, But Struggle with Unintra. So much so that some even think Luckvarum as a separate Nation, simply because of How different it is to the Rest of Unintra. The Unissance, Which Saw a massive revolution in Unintra, and helped open the doors for more appreciation and Recognition for artists, started with The Artist Roald Sokla, one of the pioneers in Developing a more open view of Art and Culture, by using it as a way to help with the Inner self, and appreciate the beauty of Life. he did this by performing Operas Close to nature, in almost open fields, where he incorporated the various Natural Sounds of Nature, with more traditional Instruments.

Sports
''Does your country have any major sports leagues? What types of sports are played, both professionally and for fun by your country's people?"''

Symbols
Unintra has Many special Symbols that represent both Regional and National Culture and spirit. The most Prominent of these symbols is The WelkFas Light, represented in the Unintran Flag as a Bright Star. It is meant to embody the collective spirit of Unintra. it emerged as a Prominent symbol during The Wlumnian Wars Period, especially as a symbol of Defiance and resilience against the Much More powerful Gjenowan Dominion. It takes its inspiration from a folk tale, where supposedly, after every forest fire, a single Flower is Left, completely Untouched, and only when the fire stops, only the flower is left. Yet everytime a Fire Passes, the mightiest of trees and forests, only the singular flower survives. The Flower's Name is The WelkFas Flower, and is said that it's light will reveal its secrets to any who successfully find it.

Economy and Infrastructure
Unintra has a fairly diversified economy. it was historically built to achieve complete self-sufficiency, but since the End of the Disturbed Isolationist period, and growing globalisation, has become more open, and shifted to Partial Autarky (for food, electricity and essential resources), while still Importing luxuries and exporting goods to other nations of the world. It has a Mixed Economy, with Large Government Companies controlling the Basic services (Water, Electricity, Some Basic levels of Food, small emergency Manufacturing) and the rest of the Market is given to Market-based Companies. It's Financial Center and Largest Stock Exchange is Dwenos.

It does have some amount of unemployment, around 4, 45 %. Despite this, the economy is doing well. The government tightly regulates companies and businesses, yet it also provides them with large subsidies. The government encompasses 20% with private businesses being 3/4 of the economy. The government is also prioritising self-sufficiency as an economic policy. The taxation rate is high, about 45%, however this changes depending on the amount of wealth and type of it (property, inheritance, VAT, etc.). This makes it that citizens of Unintra have a fair amount of disposable income, yet this is rewarded with some of the best welfare, education and healthcare in the world. So citizens can live comfortably and not have to worry about high prices in public services.

It's Economic Heart lies in the Dwenos Region the origin of the Dwitis, more specifically, the Rosvitan-Dwenos Industrial Axis. And is considered the best region in Unintra for economic, Industrial prosperity.

Business is considered "impossible" by outside companies. While outside companies aren't banned from operating here, there are many difficulties in succesfully reaching the Market. First, Unintra is Dominated with local businesses that hold almost all of the market share in Unintra, as a result of decades of strict isolationism, so finding new customers are difficult. Then, there are the enormous amounts of Regulations that businesses have to follow, from labor laws to environmental regulations, restricting their competitiveness. Finally, they have to face the heavily subsidised businesses, supported by the government, already occupying the market. Unintrans have mostly adapted to the restrictions, and for many consider them as normal. This has resulted in limited economic growth for Unintra compared to other nations. but the majority of people support the government in this matter, preferring their economy to be dominated by local businesses rather than multinational coorperation.

Industries and Sectors
Unintra has a mildly diversed economy, thanks to it's historical isolationism, but now, it's largest Industry is arguably in the Distribution and Manufacturing of Electronic technologies, responsible for 25% of Unintran GDP. with it's Largest Corporation as The Rosvitan Computer Dwiti, with 56% of the Local Marketshare, their products are Mostly Exported to Other Nations, and is One of the Few Multi-national Companies of Unintra, followed by Agriculture, becuse of its essential role in having a self-sufficient Economy. other large industries in Unintra include Book Publishing and Pharmaceutical Industries.

Currency
The National Currency of Unintra is the Unis Ukan Credits, Unis Ukan comes from the name of Unias Ukan, the Leader that Introduced, standardised and Unified the Currency as the official monetary unit Used by Unintra, marking the end of the regional differences of Currency and streamlining commerce accross Unintra. The most recent incarnation of the Currency is in its digital form, as part of an effort to cut down on Paper usage to reduce the need to cut down trees. Now most of the transactions in Unintra are made either by Card, or electronically, while Paper is used more as a formality and collected for memories. [Transaction with default currency will be added]

Healthcare
Healthcare in Unintra is Prioritized as an Essential Service in Unintra. Healthcare is Universal, and mostly Subsidized by the Government (exceptions for cosmetic Surgery). They also Work with Pharmaceuticals to Provide lower costs on Medicine, and Invest significant amounts on Research related to Treating them. Under the Private-Public Cooperation Act, Businesses get access to shared labor, large subsidies and joint research tools in exchange for Cheaper access to Medicine, and access to some research provided by the Pharmaceuticals, and Research Institutes. The Companies however, usually keep the patents (unless in cases of an imminent public health threat where the government may force the Company to Release it's Patent or Seize it's Production). Training for Medical Workers and Researchers are Strict, and Vast, needing a large amount of dedication and time to fully train a medical Professional. Healthcare is one of the Biggest sections on the Annual Budget of Unintra, Behind Only Education. Healthcare is Managed by The Department of Healthcare of WHD, headed by Johansa Zolma.

Labor
Labor In Unintra is Mostly Employed in the Construction or Manufacturing, there are Several Unions working to Balance the workplace and bring more voice to Workers. However, because of The Smaller Population In Unintra, and Youth workers preferring to work in Higher Education Jobs (Doctors, Engineers, Diplomats, etc.) and Significant Demand for Manual Labor, Businesses have shifted to using robotics and A.I to perform the more basic and repetitive tasks. [Will Need to learn more about labor market before completing this, but the general idea is that most repetitive work and hard labor is done with robots] [pension and social security TBA)

Transportation
Transportation in Unintra is Primarily Based around Public Transportation, more specifically Trams. the reason is because public transportation is cheap, compared to cars, which are taxed quite expensively, and have to go through a multitude of complex regulations. the culture of using public transportation was also aided by government programs and ads, which prioritized walking or using public transportation, to reduce the amount of congestion, in the smaller than average roads of Unintra, and to facilitate the reduction of emission in Unintra. The Current Minister-President of Unintra, is known for using the Public Transportation Systems instead of a Car, albeit with increased security. Most of the Fuel in Trams and Other Public Transportations in Unintra are Renewably powered, with exceptions to less advanced and remote public transportation systems. Unintra also invested into the Highspeed railway network, instead of a large Road Network for travelling, to make it's citizens use Trains More.

Energy
Unintra's Energy is primarily Composed of Renewable Energy, due to its notorious Bright and clear weather, the largest producer of Energy in Unintra is Solar Energy, placed in either almost every rooftop for houses, to Ensure some local Energy independence, or in Large Solar Farms in the Unusable Land. This is Closely followed with Hydro power, with large dams being constructed from the southern Mountain Ranges. Then there is Also Wind, which are primarily in the Form of Offshore Wind Farms. Finally, there also exists a significant Geothermal Energy production sector, which is used primarily for heating. Together they account for about 72% of the Energy in Unintra. Then there are the Biofuels, Used primarily by farmers for local power sources. They are also a notable part of Snergy production In Unintra, because of the Size of the Agricultural Sector in Unintra. Nuclear Power accounts for 8% of the Energy generation in Unintra, while the Fossil Fuels take up the remaining 12% of the Energy production. This Significant Shift in Renewable energy was primarily driven by the Need of Unintra to not be heavily reliant on other Nations on its Energy, as it has almost No natural resources for Fuel. So, the Government has intensely worked to make renewable energy and develop it. It was one of the reasons why the Electronic Manufacturing Industry is successful in Unintra, owing to the large influx of Government investment and prioritisation of the industry. The Government also put strict refulations on Energy usage, by Requiring Government and Most Public building to be Green-powered. And giving tax breaks and other benefits to companies and individuals which power their business or homes with renewable energy. Finally, by educating and funding research for more efficient Renewable energy sources.

Science and Technology
Unintra, owing to it's educational funding and Scholarly Culture, is a nation, very interested, in the acquisition of knowledge and research, so uch so, that they have waged wars and committed inhumane acts against populations, for the sake of advancing scientific progress. they heavily try to cooperate with other nations in regards to technology, being one of the few areas where Unintra is a significant Part of the Global Community. they heavily invest in education, to provide the best minds of the nation, a chance and opportunity to contribute to the Nation, and be able to use their inventions for the good of Unintra. they also significantly support scientists and universities, so they can provide the most advanced information on all areas of Research. The government also Frequently attempts to buy or negotiate access to new inventions if they are made outside of Unintra, so their scientists may learn from the works of others. they also maintain a Grand Archive, housing the collective knowledge of Unintra, to facilitate access to Knowledge for every citizen. Unintra Embraces technology, often using the most advanced technologies where possible. Evidenced by their semi-automatic Factories run with robotics, their Universal Access to the Internet, the use of Digital Currency as opposed to paper, and many other things. Currently, the main area of research and expertise of Unintran Scientists is on Medicine, which resulted in the formation of Large Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industries, and a wide array of tools to research Medicine. While it is less familiar with Physics, in which it lacks the necessary experience to lead the way of Scientific Progress. [may add or remove stuff to see if it follows world canon]
