| | The '''Creagmer republics''' were a number of small {{wp|merchant republics}} and members of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] along the [[Creagmer]] and [[Odoneru Ocean]] which mostly existed between the 8th and 12th centuries. The mercantile states were largely reorganized from earlier city states and members of the [[Latin League]], which was destroyed during the formation of the Empire. The Creagmer republics dominated trade in the southern and eastern Odoneru during the time of their existence, becoming relatively wealthy and powerful. They became subject to the desires of the [[Julian dynasty]], which began to actively attempt to assert its [[Imperial Kingdom of Urcea|de jure legal dominance]] over them in the 12th century following the establishment of [[Urcea]] with the [[Golden Bull of 1098]]. The cities were desirable to the Julians not only because of their wealth and prominence but also due to their sea access and influence over the [[Urce River]], control of which was a key early strategic concern of the new Urcean Kingdom. |

| '''Enscirya or Hwaetever the Fuck''' is a province and state of the [[Kiravian Federacy]] that encompasses most of the Ĥeir Highlands of inland Northeast Kirav. It is the ethnic and spiritual homeland of the [[Ĥeiran Coscivians|Ĥeiran Coscivian people]] and the seat of the [[Insular Apostolic Church]]. Although a relative backwater in terms of economic and political importance for most of it history, Enscirya today is known as still a fricking backwayer. However, nonwithstanding its poverty, it is a major cultural, intellectual, and religious centre that has contributed immensely to the cultural heritage of Kiravia. | | While most of the small polities were destroyed in the 12th century, a number of them obtained status as autonomous {{wp|free city|free cities}}, and briefly reemerged during the [[Saint's War]] only to be suppressed by the war's end. During the free city period, the patrician families of the cities largely remained in tact, but their rebellion during the Saint's War lead to most of the families' holdings being destroyed and the historic autonomy of the cities brought to an end. The largest of the republics, the [[Philaridon Republic]], would continue its turbulent existence until [[1680]]. Today, the territory of the republics largely coincides with the western [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] with the exception of the territory of the Philaridon Republic, which is largely coterminous with the modern province of [[Roscampus]]. Many of the former republics now comprise some of the Archduchy's largest cities, such as Ordep and Beldra. |
|
| |
|
| Enscirya is known as a cold, damp, windswept land of striking natural beauty but supbar conditions for human habitation. Its mountainous landscape is marked by treeless alpine meadows and alpine tundra, peat-rich bogs and mires, subalpine forests and wooded vales, and numerous lakes.
| | The number of entities ranges from a strict historiographical convention of only counting the actual seven republics to sometimes including the three counties which existed along the [[Urce River]] and adjacent to the republics during this period. |

| ==Geography==
| |
| | |
| In contrast to neighbouring lowland states, both highland and lowland, large swathes of upland Enscirya are naturally unforested {{wp|Polonyna (montane meadow)|montane meadowland}}, and many naturally forested areas have been cleared by denizens for rangeland and cropland. In recent decades, the state government has undertaken reforestation initiatives to combat soil erosion.
| |
| | |
| Feral sheep are a common sight. Many went feral after the sudden abandonment of Kirosocialist state-owned megaranches and no one gives enough of a crap to systematically cull their descendants.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ==Governance==
| |
| | |
| Upper House (or whatever): Clan chiefs, Apostolic bishops and arch-abbots or w/e, Elected Constituency reps, gubernatorial nominees; who else?
| |
| | |
| ==Society & Culture==
| |
| Ethnic groups: 70% Ĥeiran Coscivian, 20% Celtic, 10% Other (mainly Other Coscivian; trace nos. of Érhuans, Kópistonians)
| |
| | |
| Religions: 92% Insular Apostolic. The Insular Apostolic Church is the official state church. The main religious minorities are Catholics, members of the Ancient Celtic Church and Érhuan People's Church, Kaltan Iduans, and Ruricans.
| |
| | |
| ==Economy==
| |
| Enscirya is among the poorer mainland provinces, and often ranks lowest among the full states of the [[Kiravian federalism#Thematic_federalism|Federation]] in terms of per capita GRP. Economic geographers place the entirety of the state in [[Three Kiravs Model|Third Kirav]].
| |
| | |
| During Kirosocialism, most other poor inland provinces were saw state-directed industrial development led by state-owned extractive, processing, and manufacturing enterprises and concentrated in purpose-built {{wp|monotown|monotowns}}. In Enscirya this was not the case, due to emnity between the Party and much of the Ensciryan population and the security threat posed by Publican insurgents. Socialist restructuring of the Ensciryan economy came mainly in the form of rural collectivisation, the consolidation of enormous state-owned ranches from parcels of confiscated rangeland, and the exploitation of new tin coal, lead, silver, and taconite iron ore deposits.
| |
| | |
| Peat is an important natural resource, providing domestic heat for >95% of rural households and 45% of urban households. Enscirya has two peat-fuelled power plants and three hybrid peat-coal plants feeding into its electrical grid.
| |
| | |
| Religious pilgrimages to holy sites of the [[Insular Apostolic Church]] and heritage tourism by members of the vast Ensciryan diaspora are a critical pillar of the Ensciryan economy, especially its service sector. Enscirya is also a significant destination for {{wp|trekking}}, {{wp|bird-watching}}, {{wp|photo-tourism}}, and {{wp|agritourism}}.
| |
| | |
| Just under two-thirds of Ensciryan internet connexions are over {{wp|dialup}}.
| |
| | |
| Agriculture remains the economic bedrock of most communities. Rocky, nutrient-poor, and poorly drained soil; a cold climate, and mountainous topography impede outputs from {{wp|arable farming}}. Instead, {{wp|animal husbandry}} has been the primary mode of subsistence throughout the state's history. [[Sheep]] (which outnumber humans in the state), dairy cattle, and goats are the most numerous and valuable stocks. Swine and introduced camelids from the Western Highlands are also raised. Potato is the leading crop, followed by oats, with the latter cultivated intensively in the lower valleys.
