Deltaria, officially the Grand Empire of Deltaria (Alizindian: Veliko Carstvo Deltarije) is a state located in central Majatra. Deltaria borders Jakania to the south, Kalopia to the east, the Majatran Sea to the north, Jelbania to the north west and Lake Majatra to the south west. Deltaria is 1,739,100 km2 and has a population of roughly 100 million.

Deltaria is known for its checkered history of nobility, patricide and largely volatile government. Deltaria was in recent centuries underneath the leadership of the Thaller family, namely the Thaller Branch of Deltaria which ruled with an iron fist. Despite this, Deltaria has many modern democratic features albeit with a Deltarian culture. Due to its long and convoluted history and its famous landscapes, Deltaria is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Terra. Especially popular are the ruins in Čahtica, the old Czarist capital of Deltaria.

Deltaria has one of the largest economies on Terra and is the home of large swathes of industry, a growing financial sector and is an exporter of many copycat Trigunian military goods. Deltaria, despite its relatively instability at times, has remained a foremost geopolitical power and has trade and diplomatic relations with numerous countries around the world.

«We were forced to retreat and live as hunters and fishermen to get away from danger. Our bodies and souls survived one darkness and flourished. Then came the second darkness, and only our bodies survived.»
(Book of Volos, Page 2/B)


The territory of Deltaria was occupied by a network of tribes and city-states before the arrival of the Deltarian tribes from Artania. The crowning as Czar of Štefan I in 991 and the conversion to Hosianism of his heir Štefan V in 1239 established Deltaria as a major centre of Augustan culture and civilization in Majatra. The Czardom existed in many forms until it collapsed in 1954, sparking a brutal civil war known as The Terror. After a short period of democratic rule, followed by more than two centuries of oligarchy, Deltaria once again became a Czardom. Lasting for nearly 700 years (with numerous brief interruptions), Czarist Deltaria was a great power, reigning over a number of nations, and projecting its power Terra-wide via the Deltarian-based Terran Patriarchal Church.

Deltaria subsequently lost its power an influence with the end of the Czarist era and the establishment of the Federal Republic of Deltaria. Between 2996 and 3466, Deltaria was governed as a federal semi-presidential democratic republic, and experienced long periods of economic growth, coupled with near-constant cultural stagnation. In 3466, following the Deltarian Czarist War, Deltaria was brought under Czarist rule.

The Deltarian Realm, underneath the Czar was restored in October, 4510 when Aleksandr III (Maiser Dynasty) was crowned as the Czar in Tsargrad. The Czarist Movement was instrumental in bringing the Czar to power; while the Czar's transition into power was relatively smooth, there were protests and opposition mostly due to the fact that caretaker government had failed to gain any significant traction with governance. Aleksandr III was found dead in April, 4512 when he was found in his bed dead from an apparent heart attack. His brother, Grand Duke Viktor was shortly coronated as Czar as Viktor III.

Czar Viktor III was killed in an explosion from an apparent car bomb, in September, 4512 and by October 4512 the All-Deltarian Communist Party had taken power through a coup d'etat which was lead by Deputy Minister of Defense Željko Pavlović, Deputy Minister of the Interior Erik Kocúr and supported by Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Deltaria Army General Hubert Horáček; a closeted Neo-Kaminskist.

After the Communist party had resigned under the pressure of the citizens, a Nationalist Party won the election and ruled the country until 4592 when new democratic parties of Hnutí Spravedlnost, Demokratický Progresívny Hnutie and Deltarian Lidová Strana began to rule the nation in a common coalition, getting rid of the remains of the autocratic rule, reforming the state into a modern, free and democratic nation. This state was short lived however as, after 2 decades of a worsening economy, weakened and neglected military and worsening living standards in Deltaria the Imperial League restored a dictatorial czarist regime to take the place of the weak democratic regime. The czarist regime continued several decades after but this time under a democratic system, making the Czar a mere figurehead.

In 5256, Deltaria was brought back into the Communist regime after four far-left parties won the elections. It was the first time since 4592, that Deltaria experienced a Communist regime. In 5280, multiple parties popped up in Deltaria as an act of protest in order to pressure the government into resigning. The situation eventually de-escalated as many of the parties went inactive afterwards. In the late 5300s, democratic liberal opposition formed against Deltaria and had their first election in 5310 although they didn't win the majority of the seats. In 5316, the liberal party, KDU won the most seats becoming the first non-communist party to do so in 60 years.

This resulted in an uproar from Putica who considered the election illegitimate and refused to allow such power transfer. In 5318 a altered constitution was adopted, turning the nation into a federation of socialist republics with workers councils at its center. The new country was a democracy however, with parties allowed to register and no restrictions in participating in federal or local elections.

(Barónka Lenka Mojmírová, Daralian Baroness)


Executive & Executive Cabinet[]

Deltaria is officially organized into a Federal constitutional monarchy in which the monarch serves as a symbolic head of state, originating from the House of Georgijević-Tesař and being selected under male Primogeniture. The monarch, under the deltarian constitution, has limited powers. He or she formally appoints the Prime Minister, but under the binding proposal of the Congress of Deputies. The monarch also represents the unity of the nation and serves as its head diplomat. He or she is the highest state functionary at official events and may bestow royal titles onto civilians. The monarch has some, but very limited reserve powers. The monarch may disband congress, but only when congress has voted to dissolve itself or when the constitution is violated by congress. The monarch also serves as official head of the Armed Forces, but in pratice those powers are delegated to the Ministry of Defense.

The Prime Minister of the Grand Empire serves as the head of government and de-facto leader of the country. He or she leads the Imperial Ministry of General Affairs, responsible for everything not delegated to other ministries. He or she also chairs the cabinet, and has a deciding vote in case of there being no unanimity. The Prime Minister is also responsible for proposing a cabinet to congress for approval. The office of Prime Minister is considered the single most powerfull in Deltaria.

The Imperial Cabinet is the executive body of government, consisting of all government ministers and state secretaries. The cabinet makes decisions on a unanimous basis with cabinet votes. Inidividual ministers also have their own jurisdictions over which they precide and make their own decisions over.

Legislative[]

The Kongres Zástupců (Congress of Deputies) is the unicameral parliament of the Empire. It is elected every 5 years in a mixed-member majoritan election where half of the seats is elected in single-member constituencies on a FPTP basis and the other half is elected in a nationwide, closed-list proportional election. The Congress of Deputies confirms the Cabinet, proposes, ammends, passes and rejects federal legislation, approves or rejects the national budget proposed by the government, may issue a state of emergency, may dismiss the government with a majority vote, may issue congressional investigations, may issue parliamentary orders through commissions, can issue fines, order individuals to attend a hearing, order a criminal investigation if its orders arent met.

Administrative divisions[]

Deltaria consists of 5 provinces. The first-level sub-division of the state will be the Provinces (Pokrajina), of which there will be 5 in total, Provinces will have a democratically elected Governor, elected alongside national elections. Provinces have autonomy over a wide variety of topics, from regional economy to water management or education. They have their own elected parliament and decide on the organization of their sub-level administrative divisions (with most choosing for a municipality/district based system of administration for their cities and towns). Čahtica, the Deltarian capital, shall be a federal city with similar rights and responsibilities of a municipal government, but under direct oversight of congress.

Armed forces[]

The Armed Forces of Deltaria. The armed forces includes the Deltarian Ground Forces (Also known as the Deltarian Army), the Deltarian Naval Forces (also known as the Deltarian Navy) and the Deltarian Aerospace Forces (also known as the Deltarian Air Force). The President is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (Daralian: Najvyšší vrchný veliteľ)

The Ministry of Defense plays a vital role in the armed forces, traditionally the Chief of the Command Staff is the Minister of Defense but in recent years this tradition has occasionally been broken. The Ministry of Defense is largely dominated by civilians and political appointees, the Military Command Staff is nominally the day-to-day operator of the armed forces.

Intelligence and internal security[]

The Ministry of the Interior (Daralian: Ministerstvo Vnitra) is responsible for the Federal Police (Daralian: Nationalni polícia) which operates as a nation-wide police force underneath the direct oversight of the Police Secretary. The National Gendarmerie (Daralian: Nationalni žandárstvo; NZ) was created in 5085 following the disbanding of the Armed Forces as a way to keep order in Deltaria without a military. It works separately from the Federal Police and is considered its own branch. It operates light military weaponry such as armored vehicles and assault rifles and has the authority to conduct arrests. Its prime responsibility is keeping peace within Deltarian borders, making sure the borders are secure, aid Federal Police in drugs, gang and terrorist related incidents and protect high ranking individuals.

The foreign intelligence service of Deltaria is the State Directorate for Intelligence (Daralian: Stát ředitelství pro zpravodajství; SRPZ) while the domestic intelligence agency is the National Security Service (Daralian: Nationalni Bezpečnostní Služba; NBS). The NBS acts as the internal security agency of the Deltarian state. The NBS is the successor of the much more known SUVO, which was disbanded following the Deltarian Civil War due to connections with the military regime. The NBS is responsible for domestic intelligence gathering, anti terrorist operations and other forms of domestic law enforcement/intelligence operations. It works directly with the National Police and it answers to the Chairman of the Government to which it is also responsible.

The State Directorate for Intelligence (SRPZ) is an independent agency of the government led by a Director appointed by the Chairman of the Government. This director holds a so called "blank check" and is allowed to hold all kinds of operations in Deltaria but also abroad. The agency has a "license to kill" and is mostly left alone by both the Chairman and the other executive offices of the government, making it a highly flexible and effective intelligence agency. The SRPZ is tasked with gathering intelligence all across terra deemed of "importance" to the Deltarian state and with neutralizing high value targets which can include both individuals and objects. The Director is obligated to brief the Prime Minister, President, Speaker of the Chamber and the Joint Military Command Staff on important intel when they request such a briefing.

Per 5033 law, SRPZ is no longer in any sense independent but reports directly to the Prime Minister (Head of Government).

«The experience of ages has shown that a man who works on the land is purer, nobler, higher, and more moral... Agriculture should be at the basis of everything.»
(Mikuláš Gogolský, Deltarian writer)


As a whole the Deltarian Economy is moderately good, being very good before the Imperial Civil War but declining during that period greatly. That provided setbacks for Deltaria, but nothing "Of major concern to the general public and people of the Republic", as put by the Premier at the time. Over the years Deltaria has been industrialized, despite coming from a very agricultural background.

Deltaria relies on a technology based economy bolstered by industry, with some citizens working as farmers. The majority of the technological force is in the central and southern areas of Deltarian, where the urbanized cities are, while the agricultural zones are in Dissuwa, as well as some parts of Darali and Ushalande. In other locations like Alizander or other parts of the country their area also more advanced companies, where many of the young intelligent go to work as the rising stars of the nation, usually in the headquarters of large banking or equity companies.

The majority of the northern workforce is agricultural, mainly tending to pigs, goats, sugar cane, wheat, tobacco, and somniferum; although industries have sprung up throughout the northern cities. A great deal of raw materials also come from the region, where then they go to factories in the central areas. The main cities in this region are those dedicated to refining their products, buy other small businesses crop up as well.

In recent decades the economy has mostly been relying on a combination of emerging technology sectors and a military/industrial base that remains stable and strong. This combination of new emerging sectors and the strong but old industrial sector have proved to be a good combination, allowing the Deltarian economy to grow while minimizing the risk of massive unemployment. Furthermore the re-emergence of the Tourism sector has also caused for a steady stream of revenue for both local and state coffers.

«I love this sunburned country, she is a land of pain.
From the dry and deadly deserts to the dense monsoonal rain.
From pestilent northern swamps to the southland's sinking mud.
She's a land that shows no mercy, but she's a land that's in our blood.»
(Gróf Arpád Bátory, Dissuwan Count and poet)


Deltaria is located on the eastern limb of the Majatran mainland, running from the centre of the Majatran Basin all the way to the southern coast. She shares borders with the Independent Wantuni Republic to the east and Jelbé Isràé Krsyigad in the northwest. Lake Majatra represents an additional border in the southwest, while the nation borders with the South Sea, stretching from Ushalande across Alazinder and Dissuwa, and across the entire southern rim of the Border Marches. Much of the irrigation in the nation is provided by the enormous inland sea, Lake Majatra, and the two vast rivers, the Alazinder River and the Sluislaw.

Coast in Ushalande Province

The coastal areas of Deltaria have a temperate Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild to cool, wet winters. Snow does occur on the coastal areas almost every winter, but it usually lies no more than a few days. {C {C

Conditions can be much harsher in the more arid interior. Mountains close to the coast prevent Mediterranean influences from extending inland, giving the central plateau of the interior of Deltaria a continental climate with sharply contrasting seasons.

Wikiquote-logo-15px
«We have a culture, a strong, vibrant, 'real' culture. Most of the outside world does not. They haven't bled enough for it.»
(Barón Lászlo Nádašdy, Dissuwan Baron)


Northern Deltaria retains a primarily agrarian culture even after the Czarist Period, but is now slowly developing. After the Great Reformation cultural ideology was changed, and the people now exhibit more modern practices than in old. They are still proud of their old culture and history, however, and are flattered by other nationalities showing an interest in them. This, coupled with the nation's moderate border controls have made tourism in Deltaria a wildly valued but entertaining experience amongst the young, educated upper-class in Artanian and Seleyan nations.

After the Reformation, the old ideas of women's inferiority to men dissipated, and many now worked at modern jobs and in modern factories as well as men. Old traditions still permeate the area, but that is growing alongside new tradition and life.

Architecture[]

After the Great Reformation, Deltarian houses of a rapidly wealthier populace modeled the old Czarist style of the more afluent. Each individual architectural style varies slightly from region to region, but houses usually are made with bright colors such as reds, pinks, oranges, or other 'warm' colors, as well as whites. Rooms usually have high ceilings and many large tall windows open to the outside. Houses are very 'open' and individual rooms are usually large. Wood, brick, tiles, stucko, and other materials are usually used for walls, which are usually painted. Naturally tropical houses would be more open than southern houses, but they too have large windows and high ceilings, even if the doors and windows are closed. Modern buildings are also present in all of Deltaria, and usually incorporate blues and grays, as well as large windows. All buildings are usually equipped with domes, curves, vaulting ceilings, or arches, even modern buildings.

Education[]

Deltarian education is operated by private entities, regulated by the Deltarian Department of Education through restrictions on federal grants. Children are required in most provinces to attend school from the age of six to the age of seventeen.

or seven (generally, kindergarten or first grade) until they turn eighteen (generally bringing them through twelfth grade, the end of high school); some states allow students to leave school at sixteen or seventeen. Standards are set by the government for the schools, ensuring that, even though they are private, they still have excellent teaching standards.

The Deltaria has many competitive institutions of higher education. Of Deltarians twenty-five and older, 84.6% graduated from high school, and 32.6% of those attended some college. The basic literacy rate is approximately 97%.
