The Schevakian Empire is a nation located in south-central [[Overworld|Elgeis]], on the continent of [[Tierra del Fuego]] and the Ilyrian Isles. It is bordered by [[HUM]]<nowiki/>ian Rhett to the northwest, [[Fianna|Fenian]] Toeland to the north, and [[Vostok]] and the [[International Board of World Heritage|IBWH]]-claimed city of Tsarevets to the east. Schevakia is divided into four provinces ruled by hereditary Lords, each anchored in a Ward of the Capital City of Schenektengrad and comprising the surrounding regions, along with two island provinces directly administered by the Imperial State. Descended from the historical Republic of Schevakia and its various Sche-splinter successor states, the Schevakian nation has played a key role of the history of Elgeis and is the largest and most populous country in the south. |

In the weeks and months following its founding, Schevakia experienced a period of rapid societal development and population growth. Schenektengrad evolved from a small backwater settlement to a thriving metropolis, and is now one of the largest and most populous cities in Elgeis. Players rocketfart110, Kaleidoeyes127, NNDimethyltrip and [[SgtKickYourAss]] joined during this time period, with rocketfart110 settling in the slums of Ward 4, Kaleidoeyes127 and NNDimethyltrip founding the town of Schavick on the southern coast of Polgolas, and SgtKickYourAss settling in the swamps of west-central Polgolas. |

During this period population and building growth often outpaced economic growth, which resulted in many Schevakians contending with severe food shortages and periodic famines. Meanwhile, the Schevakian military was woefully ill-equipped for any kind of major conflict, which was demonstrated repeatedly by its inability to effectively address the dangers of even the most minor raids, and exacerbated by the lack of a central military organizational structure or plan, along with rampant military corruption and disobedience within the ranks of the army. Nevertheless, during this period Schevakia was able to make some minor territorial gains, expanding its borders north to the Sche River during the partition of [[Soraryius]] and taking advantage of disorganization and confusion in the government and administration of [[Funkyland]] to wrest control of Bordergoremandy Beach, on the west bank of the Strait of Jacksonia. |

This large population, however, expectedly gave rise to disagreements. In late April 2020, Polgolan Senator [[thepolg]] and several others seceded from Schevakia, citing corruption and breach of democratic processes as the reason and forming the [[CSA|Confederated Schevakian Alliance]]. In the following confusion, Schevakia splintered into multiple new nations, most of them based on the previous constituent states, several of which claimed to be the true successor of the original Schevakian nation. |

Soon after the collapse of the Republic of Schevakia, the ensuing chaos culminated in the Great Balkan War, the largest military conflict in the history of Elgeis, which involved all of the residents of former Schevakia and Yugoslavia as well as most other countries in the world in some form or another. |

=== Splinter State Era === |
|||
In the aftermath of the Great Balkan War, the lands of Schevakia remained politically divided between the splinter states of the [[Confederated Schevakian Alliance|Confederated Schevakian Alliance (CSA)]], the [[Republic of Jacksonia]], the [[People's Republik of Schevakia]] (PRS), the [[Republic of Ambrosia]], and the [[Black Hand]] terrorist group. The next several months saw these competing states (which touted incompatible political ideologies and frequently had conflicting land claims) engage in medium-intensity conflict as each vied for power and influence in the Schevakian region, which remained dilapidated and depopulated as a result of the previous war, which had seen massive physical destruction and wide-scale emigration from the now impoverished land. |
