Hrabia

Hrabia (Hrabian: Hrbija), Officially the Hrabian Republic, is a Nation in Northern Elastra. It is situated largely within and around the Hollow Mountains, and on the coast of the Bay of Ogór to it's north. It borders the Sethrian Provinces of Rhovania and Appelkantse, to the east and South, and Raiyuna to the west.

Following many sovereignty disputes between Sethrian and Hrabian officials, the parliament of the now defunct Hrabian Autonomous Republic declared independence during the "Ogorogorod Adress". As of now, the Hrabian head of government is Premier Pјoкr Anäsтyкović.

Hrabia is the homeland of the Indigenous Hrabic Peoples, who largely speak Hrabian. Hrabia is home to some-20 ethnic Hrabs. The Children of Ogór, a religion founded in Hrabia, is the dominant religion. Ogorogorod(Ogórogród) is the Capital and largest city in Hrabia.

Early Period (2021-2022)
The first known Hrabian Settlement, Ogórovjec, first documented as Ogórowiec, was founded in October of 2021 following Ogóroнrb Päтyкović's settlement of the area. Archiological evidence suggests Hrabic activity in the area extended far longer then what is concretely known. It is thought that Vinvuri were hunted for meat and pelt in early Hrabia. On October 19th 2021 Ogórovjec joined the Republic of Sethris following threats of war from the Sethrian leadership. Hrabian records during this time state that the first temple of Ogór, belonging to the Children of Ogór was built.

With the intent of spreading the Children of Ogór and Hrabian influence abroad, many Hrabs traveled internationaly. A small population of Hrabs settled in the Rodinnbróki city of Azrielus, and were even allowed to construct a Temple of Ogór, dubbed the "Grand Temple of Ogór in Azrielus". Nearby, a Hrabian settlement was established called St. Augurksborg by Hrabo-Rodinbróki Jarl Ogórk Jarlović. During this time, Päтyкović, served in the Rodinnbróki riddari council. St. Augurksborg was later razed by pillagers from Zhon.

Hrabian Resurgence(2022)
After a period of stagnation, Hrabian prominence in eldham fell. Ogórovjec was seemingly abandoned until the return of Päтyкović who had decided to once again take charge of the Hrabian people. The village of Ogórovjec was renamed to Ogórogród, meaning City of Ogór, and plans were drafted for a grand revitalization. Hrabian politician and community leader Onleóś Kannović became mayor of the nearby city Mechanica, although it was later returned to the original owner, Cёsar Samov. During this time, Sethrian officials had raided Ogórovjec for anything of value. After this event, the Hrabian national identity became prominant in Hrabian society, and Seperatist thought became prominent. Päтyкović during this time ran in multiple Sethrian elections under "The Federalist Party of Sethris", unsuccessfully.

Following the collapse of Rodinnbrók into the Ocean, control of Azrielus fell to the Golden Imperial Realm. It's Emporor, Conquestor, chose to ban Hrabians and the Children of Ogór from the city after reaceiving advice from the Sethrian Politician Vel-Mast Atreiyen, fearing that the Hrabian seperatist movement would spread to Azrielus. During this time the Hrabian Newspaper Hrbskoprvda(The Hrabian Truth) was founded by Päтyкović. It's 4th Issue details the siezure of the temple and banishment from the temple.

Autonomy (2023-2023)
In 2023, Päтyкović, once again demanded Independence. After expected denial, he then demanded a province, which was eventually granted during a major redrawing of Sethrian internal borders to better reflect demographics. This effort was led by Sethrian politician Gäles-Ifrik Gelärhisgir and Päтyкović.

To contest the dominence over newsmedia that the Sethrian newspaper "The Sethris Times" owned and operated by Sethrian presidents and permanent members of government Gäles-Ifrik Gelärhisgir and Vel-Mast Atreiyen, Päтyкović and Onleóś Kannović founded HT as a Traveller's tounge Sethrian political competitor. Kannović and Päтyкović viewed the Sethris times as government affiliated based on the elected and appointed positions it's owners held in the Sethrian government. Due to it's criticism of the Sethrian establishment and it's generally pro-hrabian lens, HT is consistently criticized as biased, although HT refutes these claims by assuring that it in incapable of bias. Shortly after the advent of HT, Onleóś Kannović formed the Sethrian Rubber Duck Party and began campaigning in Sethrian Presidential elections on a platform of anti-corruption, democrization and revitalization. He used the Slogan "Don't Stand for Sethriscide". Kannović's party quickly became the most opposition party, often discrediting his main oponents as "members of the Elite" and "Insiders" because they were largely members of the unelected Sethrian Neire council. During one such election, Atreiyen, who was Sethris' Election Coordinator and vote counter, won the election by one vote. As a result of his position and well know dislike of Hrabs, Kannović accused Atreiyen of rigging the election. During one such election, Atreiyen accused the Rubber duck Party of election fraud on the basis that citizens who never formally submitted citizenship applications but had been living in Hrabia longer then most Sethrians in Sethris.

Päтyкović, Mayor of Ogorogorod devoted his time to construction. He designed and began the construction of a New Grand Temple of Ogór to replace the undersized original temple built in the towns early days. Päтyкović was assassinated on the 21st of March, 2023. His position as mayor of Ogórogród fell vacant, and Kannović assumed the role of defacto leader of the Hrabian people. Kannović reformed the Province of Hrabia into the Hrabian autonomous republic and Issued it a new flag. On June 17th, an election was held to decide a new Mayor of Ogórogród and Premjer of the New autonomous republic. Pјoкr Anäsтyкović, who had completed the Grand temple of Ogór, won the election, taking power in Ogórogród. Anäsтyкović and Kannović, with the help of some foreign volunteers, officially requested Hrabian independence before the Sethrian Neire council, who rejected the all their proposals.

Independence (2023-Present)
On july 29th, the Sethrian Republic was abolished in a coup-d'etat carried out by Sethris' king and his allies. Following the dissolution of the Republic, the Hrabian Autonomous Parliament declared its independence, and seceded from Sethris, even ceding territory that was not of Hrabian ethnic majority granted to Hrabia during internal border reforms.

Revolution
Following the Declaration of independents, Hrabian collectivist revolutionaries took to the streets of Ogórogród to take control of the nation.
