Korosechev

""

Korosechev, Officially the Farmer's Commune of Korosechev, is a country located in northeast Eldham. It is the largest Independent Agrarian-Socialist nation in Eldham according to land area and population. Korosechev was formed following the Collapse of the Confederation of Garxijos, and claimed ownership to Korosechev Island which was contested by Fréves, ending in Korosechev integrating and asserting undisputed claim over the entire island. A vote to change the country's name to Ball Ball Ball 2 was held on the 19th of March, 2022, and a reversion to rename back to Korosechev was held on the 4th of May the same year.

Etymology
The word "Korosechev" stems from a mutilation of the word "Collection." This was achieved by slurring the end of the word (Pronounced Collecshun,) then adding more focus on the start of the word (Pronounced Kollecshun,) and then finally stuttering and murmuring, and then actually refining into a word.

Pre-Server History
What would eventually become Korosechev was a founding idea by user crooser64 upon being nagged to join Stoneworks MC by his friend Robraph, and eventually joining on the pretense of "I will join your nation, make a state and then declare independence and make a massive farm to crash the bread economy," to which Robraph agreed.

Settling Down
Shortly after joining the server and being accepted into COG, recently purchased land out west was offered as a settling ground for a new farming town, in particular a moderately sized, unnamed island; seeing as the region was very sparsely populated and had cleanly cut river borders. This was promptly accepted and a group consisting of COG Chancellor Robras and new citizen crooser64 heading out to begin construction of a small village. Upon arrival, A small house was torn down for resources, then shortly after COG President Buoyo arrived to honorarily build the first structure. This would later become a storage shed for wheat, and formally begin the creation of Orbiztan.

The Formation Of Korosechev
Shortly after Orbiztan was formed, elections were held in COG, giving leverage to create a state in government land. These were swiftly taken and used in order to pass a vote through the government and then the populous to form Korosechev. Then on 6/9/2021, Korosechev was born.

Calm Before The Storm
The next few weeks were very simple. Farming was expanded and the beginning of the Golden Island Plan was started, aiming at covering the whole island in wheat with only a little room for residency. This saw a few people move out west to assist in this, namely DatB (At the time a governor from the state of Pancioni) and Onakhm (A member of Cogress from Garxijos.) These two people would later become key players in the history and fate of Korosechev.

The First Civil "War"
After a while, the 2nd piece of the plan was initialized, declaring independence from COG. This process was slow and drawn out, as a brute force uprising was deemed impossible due to a lack of support. Attempts were made to simply annoy President Buoyo and Chancellor Robras so much that they would expel Korosechev out of the confederation. Eventually, a declaration was officially made on November 1st, 2021, Leading to Orbiztan being occupied by the COG military. The next day, a vote was held to dissolve Korosechev into the newly forming Western Commonwealth state in COG, which passed with a overwhelming majority. Korosechev was promptly declared public enemy number one, seeing as there was nothing to really be upset with in such a peaceful time. crooser64 personally struck a deal with Buoyo, giving him the right to stay in Orbiztan on the condition that he would leave the COG discord and never return.

Lost To The Silence
Following the dissolution and exile, Korosechev officially ceased to exist on 3/11/2021. Eventually DatB moved into the area with Onakhm and claimed the farm land, using it to feed Garxeto, bringing immense distraught to those who had This down time allowed for a deepening and discovery of Korosechev lore, something completely absent prior to the Civil War. During this time, crooser64 wrote a full complete lore, a near complete religion and wrote an entire bible-like book to go with it (This book was lost however, and was never found,) as well as a political ideology and a government structure. Immense planning went into Korosechev's plan for Independence for when COG inevitably collapsed, and things were set up to take off. As for what was Korosechev in COG, the land was mostly passed around like a trading card for different states. Following the dissolution, it was added to the Western Commonwealth, then after the W.C. dissolved Korosechev became government land again, and then later on was split, with the top half given to Stultum as part of Grander Stultum, and the bottom half given to the new state of Fréves.

T-Minus: 1 Minute Till Midnight
In the last week of it's life-span, The Confederation began to annihilate itself with internal power struggles and differing party interests and faiths. This was not unnoticed by Korosechev, which quickly polished and refurnished itself, ready for a power struggle over the island with Fréves. A more aggressive stance was taken, and any sort of backing that could be taken was taken; Notably Robras retiring to his Garxijos Manor after things started collapsing to promote the state.

Two Governments, One Island, And a lot of Instability
On January 22nd, 2022, La République de Fréves was declared as an independent state claiming to own the entirety of Korosechev Island, which was contested mere hours later by an independence declaration by The Farmers Commune of Korosechev. The two nations entered into a civil war, confusing many people who were unsure what was happening with the island or who owned it. On January 24th Fréves signed a treaty detailing that they cease to exist and that Korosechev become the sole singular power over the island. Later that day, Korosechev experienced a popularity boom, briefly becoming the fastest growing nation in Eldham. This was difficult to manage, but eventually everything was process and additional members started to filter in more slowly.

The Red People's Reforms
On January 26th, a few dedicated Korosechev citizens gathered together to strike in protest at the current governments laws, structure, and chaos coming from it. A list of demands was drawn up and if not met, all involved would strike and encourage the country to strike. This was met with approval and sorrow from The Korosto, who begrudgingly agreed. A few of the major demands listed were


 * Allowing civilians to make their own money via selling
 * Writing a constitution
 * Diversification of crops grown

The strike was deemed a massive success from both parties, drastically improving and propelling Korosechev's chances of survival.

General Expansion
After the first few days of chaos, things began to calm down and stability was returned to the island. Following the reforms, the government was considered extremely loyal, with several citizens even revoking their dual citizenship to become pure Koro citizens. This made path for a slower, but consistent expansion.

Renaming into Ball Ball Ball 2
On March 18th, 2022 a suggestion was submitted to rename the nation into Ball Ball Ball 2. The next day, the suggestion gained traction and managed to get enough approval votes to initiate a state-wide vote to rename the nation. The vote was short lived, and was the most mixed vote to date, but it managed to go through. On the next day the nation was officially renamed to Ball Ball Ball 2.

Over a month later on the 4th of may another vote was held to revert the name back due to several people simply no longer referring to the nation as Ball Ball Ball 2. The name was viewed as a funny joke, but it was time to put it to an end and swap back. The vote passed with a two thirds lead.

First Civil War
The First Civil War was a conflict between Korosechev and CoG during the independence movement of Korosechev. The war was largely uneventful, but still had notable events, such as the Orbiztan Skirmish in which CoG chancellor Robraph was murdered several times in Orbiztan in an attempt to curfew the city. The war was short lived, and was a complete disaster for Korosechev, resulting in the complete destruction of the state and the land it occupied being given to the newly formed Western Commonwealth.

Second Civil War
The Second Civil War was a conflict between Fréves under the leadership of Onakhm (Pope John The Second#0233) and Korosechev shortly after the breakup of CoG. The war was very minor, but very heavy for the two states as the war would forever determine who would be the true face of the island. Both sides openly admitted that they would do the exact same thing if either side won (that being join the otherside and farm,) and it was more of a purely ideological war between the Communist Dictatorship Commune of Korosechev and the Capitalist Monarchy Republic of Freves. The war was concluded with a simple request from crooser64 sent to Pope to politely hand over the island. Pope agreed citing that the ending of the island would be the same outcome either way, and that Korosechev had already been snow balling a lot more. Overall the war generated a lot of confusion, with outsiders and even insiders being puzzled as to what was going on with the island. The war was finalized with the signing of the Korosechev Truth Agreement; Detailing the complete dissolution of Freves and it's whole incorporation into Korosechev.

Government Structure
The government of Korosechevis a Communist Civilian Dictatorship Commune. The only elections held are for governors and ministers, whom run cities and ministries. These elections are held monthly, and the positions are legally defined as elections to assist the Korosto in running the country, however in practice they do have authority over citizens to perform their roles. All ministers and governors are a part of The Collective, which is the entire body that runs the government. In terms of leadership, the Korosto an Autocratic Dictator in complete control of the country; being able to enact any policy or procedure without any restraints whatsoever.

Government Locations
Korosechev does not possess a capitol building, or any government buildings of any type. The closest thing would be the Korosto's residency, as the Korosto holds all power and therefor the decision making for the entire nation is held inside the household.

Politics
Politically charged entities such as parties are completely banned, and all candidates must be politically aligned with the nation in order to prevent division between the state. The politics of Korosechev are best described as a calm and relaxed process, with candidates often being happy to change position to avoid overlapping elections. The Korosto is a simple permanent head of state who's sole purpose is to defend and improve the lives of all it's subjects. relying on the trust of the populous to not rebel. The current Korosto, crooser64, has received generally positive reviews for his contribution and upholding of the role, however some have also sought to add more democratic elements.

Religion
The official religion of Korosechev is Koriches, a regional religion passed down through generations. Religious freedom is allowed however, as long as no church or site of worship is larger or more grandiose then the church of Koriches.

Ethnicity
A majority of Korosechev citizens are immigrants, with an overwhelming percentage being former CoG residents. Additional minor immigrant groups are; USSE, Simulami, Uraki and Rodin. Ironically, a very small amount of Korosechev citizens are ethnically Koro; with the only ethnically Koro player being crooser64.

Natural Geography
The nation is located in the north east of Eldham in the region of Valresh. The entire country is hosted on a single island, Korosechev Island, which is surrounded by a thin river, with only a small opening into the Katolian Sea in the north. On the north of the island are large plains with a small savannah. Further down in the mid section of the island, a more forested area covers the land until the south. On the south side of the island, a large jungle covers a majority of the land. The eastern side of the island has a single, dormant volcano beside a small mountain-range over looking a swamp. The western side has slightly hilly and clear terrain.

Human Geography
A large portion of the nation's development is in the north, especially in the capital city of Orbiztan, which harbors the largest wheat and seed reserves in the country, as well as a hotel and the houses of several government officials. The city of Syvatoy, which originally covered the southern side of the island, was incorporated into Orbiztan on the 25th of March following the deporting of the Governor, Saint of frogs, who promptly deleted her claim. The only other city on the island is Arztotzka, which resides on the eastern side at the foot of the mountains.
