Excousia redevelopment
"Not to be confused with Esceosia, West Esceosia, and et cetera. For other uses, see Excousia (disambiguation)."

Excousia (: Εξουσία, Exousía, IPA: [écsûšíâ ], : Kuvvadiyar, IPA: [kuvvɑdijɑ:ɾ ], : قوييا,  Qawiunya, IPA: TBA, : חָזָקיָה,  Qazaqiyah, IPA: TBA), also nicknamed the "Maritime Power" or the "Sea Power" is a sovereign independent state located in Eurasia that is bordered by  Turkey,  Jordan, and  Egypt.

With a estimated population of 38,388,916 people, it is the 33rd largest country on Earth in terms of population size. It is also median in terms of its territory.

Its capital city is Niscosia, and the official languages are Greek, Turkish, Arabic, and Hebrew which are used by most of the population as a mother tongue.

It is apart of DCIN.

Prezarexian rule
Bevor the United Kingdom gave the  Crown Colony of Cyprus independence there was a lot of protests against the British rule in Cyprus. In the London and Zurich Agreements in 1960 Cyprus was finally given independence, the Republic of Cyprus was formed. The problem was that this new country was lead under the Greek Cypriot leadership. They wanted to make Cyprus join Greece. After the 1974 coup the Turkish army occupied Northern Cyprus. That's how Cyprus got divided into North and South, even if nobody except Turkey recognizes Northern Cyprus. But in this story Northern Cyprus won't be even founded because Cyprus will get back Northern Cyprus before 1983.

English variant
The English variant name for "Excousia" comes from the Greek word for "power", "εξουσία". The only two differences between the two names are that they are written in different scripts, and that the "i" in "Excousia" is a "í" in the Greek variant of the name.

Greek variant
The Greek variant name for "Excousia" comes from the Greek [itself] word for "power", "εξουσία", as aforementioned in the explanation of the etymology English variant of the name.

Turkish variant
The Turkish variant name for "Excousia" comes from the Turkish [itself, again] phrase "kuvva diyar", meaning "land of power". It is obviously taken from the "diyar-ı kuvva", meaning "land of power (pl.)" in Ottoman Turkish. Kuva is taken from "kuwa", Arabic word for power (pl.). Singular form of this word is "kuwwat" in Arabic, also "kuvvet" as singular form in Ottoman Turkish and Modern Turkish. However, in modern Turkish, "güç" is more common word for power which is derived from the Proto-Turkic word, "küç" in same meaning. Mongolian word "küçün" is also derived from "küç". The word "diyâr" is also derived from Arabic word "dar" that means land or house which comes from the Arabic root "dwr". This word is also probably derived from Aramean and Assyrian words for house, "dwārā". This word might be taken by Arameans and Assyrians from Akkadian however linguists think that its main root is again Arabic, "dāra" which means "to turn".

Arabic variant
The Arabic variant name for "Excousia" comes from the Arabic [itself, thrice] word for "strong", "قوي", and the suffix "  يا", since the English variant of the name ends in "ia", like India.

Hebrew variant
The Hebrew variant name for "Excousia" comes from the Hebrew [itself, quarce] word for "strong" [again], "חָזָק", and the suffix, " יָה", since the English variant of the name ends in "ia", like Bosnia [and Herzegovina].

Excousia in AHoE
Excousia’s role in Zarexian Mapper’s Alternate History of Europe begins in Episode 11; named "The Towering Inferno" (o/w. The Towering Hell). After Zarexium controlls Morogania, it begins to control Cyprus to protect the Arabian Peninsula from the Fascist League. While that, France (controlled by Revum) declared war on Italy, which began the NATO War.

Excousia was on a third party-side, which meant it was not on France (Revum)'s side, nor Italy’s. It began to invade Turkey and annex Lebanon. It continued to invade until it got to Egypt.

The aforementioned war gave part in Excousia’s formation. Though it was meant to protect the Arabian Peninsula, it became a thallasocracy, a country which only seizes power through the sea.

Grovatia redevelopment
Grovatia is Zarexian Mapper's secondary nation.

Grovatia, officially known as the Epist Republic of Grovatia (ERG), is a federal sovereign state located at the crossroads of Central and Southeast, on the Adriatic Sea. It borders Austria to the north,  Bosnia and Herzegovina,  Hungaria to the northeast,  Italy to the southwest, and  Serbia and Montenegro to the east. Grovatia has an area of 80,067 square kilometres (30,914 square miles) and a population of 8.215 million, most of whom are Revian Epist. Nominally a federation of multiple national Epist federative states, in practice its government and economy are highly centralized. The country is a one-party state, governed by the Epist Progress Party with  Zagreb as its capital and largest city in the Epist federative state of Zagreb (EFS Zagreb). Grovatia is also leader of the Epist Revolutionary Council (ERC).

The First Epist People
In 2017, the Era of Peace passed and the countries have started to attack each other. Some groups of people then joined together to form a single group, the epists. The epists are of the opinion that they must unite the world in order to get the final peace. While the epists were citizens in the countries of the world, they have begun to equip their technology better in order to be better prepared if war were to come. In this way, they had been able to make Epism a real ideology. Epism also became a Religion.

Croatian Civil War
Some time later in 2021, there were so many epists, so that they decided to found their own epistical country. Since Croatia was particularly weak at the time, the Epists chose this state as their target. The epists feigned that they were only a small group of people who wanted to change the ideology, but half of the population in Croatia supported it. Through the help of the people, the Epists have succeeded in coming to power.

Grovatian rise
Shortly after Grovatia was in power they have begun to improve their economy, military, technology, equipment, etc. When in 2022 Hungary was a civil war against the Communists, Grovatia immediately took the opportunity to support the epistic rebels. But the Communists were in this civil war stronger but the Epistic State decided to attack Hungary in the direct way. Hungary had to give land to Grovatia and the rest was a satellite state of Grovatia, Hungaria. Three years later, Slovenia should return to Grovatia country, which they stole Croatia 2020. Since Slovenia rejected, Grovatia did not hesitate for a long time and attacked Slovenia and defeated them.

Geography
Grovatia lies south of the Alps and in the North of Balkan. It covers the states of Croatia, Slovenia and the southwestern part of Hungary. The rest of Hungary is a satellite state of Grovatia.

Alliances
Currently Grovatia has no alliances. No country which is not epistinic knows on which side it is, since it is traded with all countries. In reality, Grovatia is allied with the Epistle Rebels. Obviously, Grovatia is with someone, because he talks to him and talks to him about power and future. Until now, nobody knows who it is.

Third Commonwealth redevelopment
Morogania (/ˈmɔɹ.əʊ.ɡeɪn.i.ə/), officially Etogiox of Morogania (de facto), also often used Etogiox of East Europe (ad usum proprium), formally the Moroganian Republic (audere est facere) is an Zarexian Etogiox located in Eastern Europe bordered by Czechia,  Hungary,  Krasnodar,  Latvia,  Patcerum,  Romania and  Russia.

Russian exploration and settlement
Siberia became interesting after Tsar Ivan the Terrible authorized the powerful Strogonav family to set up trading posts in Siberia in 1558. Cossacks were hired as mercenaries to protect these posts. Peoples such as the Siberian Tatars who tried to harass these outposts were attacked and subjugated by the Cossacks.

Several decades later Russia arrived in the area later generations would refer to as Vostok. Similar to the American West, settlers were lured with free land to populate the conquered areas. It was not easy to get there, since you mainly got around by riverboats, on horseback or by sledge. Many indigenous tribes have been weakened by smallpox and other diseases brought in by the Russian settlers.

Russian Empire
Of all the territories Russia conquered, Vostok had the least value. There was no infrastructure beyond the Lena, settlers had to reckon with harsh winters, which meant that many who were in Vostok could only stay over the summer months, so the Tsar couldn't even send political opponents there. In the end, the area was so insignificant that Russia even wanted to sell Alaska to the  United States. However, due to disagreement, this sale never took place.

Russian Civil War
By the time of the revolution Vostok was an agricultural region of Russia, with weak entrepreneur and industrial classes. The intelligentsia had vague political ideas. Only 10% of the region's population lived in the cities and possessed some political knowledge. The lack of strong social differences and scarcity of urban population and intellectuals led to the uniting of formally different political parties under ideas of regionalism.

In 1920 the civil war was as good as decided. In the final months of 1919 the Bolsheviks launched a major offensive on Siberia and captured large parts of Russia. The White Army withdrew beyond the Lena. For a long time it looked as if nothing would stop the Bolsheviks, but through a decisive offensive on the European front they decided to stop at the Lena.

After a major attack on European countries, including Poland and  Ukraine, these countries united and formed the  Second Commonwealth. This country has also allied itself with the Baltic States, Finland and the Caucasians and formed the Intermarium League. Intermarium has recognized how much the Bolsheviks have weakened themselves from major attacks in the west. These countries are now taking advantage of this and attacked Russia. Suddenly important cities like Petrograd, Moscow and Tsaritsyn were in danger. The Bolsheviks were forced to stop their offensive in Siberia and sent troops west.

It took the Bolsheviks two years to get the situation in Europe under control. This has given the White Army enough time to secure the front lines to the Lena. The Red Army would have to go through mined terrain to take the Far East. Stalin wanted to have the strategically important city of Vladivostok under control in order to have access to the Pacific Ocean. Vostok itself was not relevant because of the non-existent infrastructure. Of the troops that were sent to Siberia, only 23% landed on the Vostok front, while the remainder had the task of taking Vladivostok.

While the Bolsheviks broke through with a lot of pressure in the south, the  White Army was able to hold their ground in Vostok. On 23rd August, 1922 a battle began near Yakutsk. The Red Army tried desperately to get over the Lena. The offensive lasted a week and killed over 70,000 people. After that, the newly founded Soviet Union only tried small offensives held by the opponents who now called themselves  Free Russia. On 9th March, 1923, an armistice was finally signed which effectively ended the civil war. A peace treaty between the two parties never was signed.

Declaration of independence
As soon as the armistice was signed, the first crisis had to be overcome. The rest of Russia, which is now completely occupied by the Soviet Union, cracked down on opponents of the regime (just like Free Russia itself). Only a few were able to flee and those who could emigrated to unoccupied Russia. In the end, Free Russia experienced a population growth of 300,000 between 1923 and 1927. The military government declared the end of the civil war to be hour zero of the new state. Every available workforce was now used to build the infrastructure and new settlements so the state could be made functional.

Another problem is that after the civil war no one was interested in Russia and what became of it. Although Vostok enjoyed mostly international recognition, there was no guarantee that it would last long or that the Soviet Union would accept the truce for long. Meanwhile, Stalin secured absolute power in the Soviet Union. In Vostok the politicans were concerned he would also destroy his opposition outside his borders. The then head of government Anton Denikin proposed to declare independence from the Russian State so the Red Army would invade a foreign country if they attacked. The idea enjoyed great popularity in parliament and in a vote 71% of parliament voted for a declaration of independence. Independence was officially proclaimed on 23th May, 1927. The Grand Duchy of Vostok was born.

Modern Vostoker movies usually depict the early history of their country a heroic event. The country was faced with unsolvable duties. It already started with the constitution. Vostok chose to become a constitutional monarchy. However Kirill Vladimirovich from the House of Romanov refused the Vostoker throne because the Romanovs intended to rule over Russia and not over a country at the end of the world. Next, the Great Depression broke out. Until then, the country's construction projects were financed through loans from abroad, but the crisis made the country insolvent just two years after it was established. Vostok also failed to restore peace with the Soviet Union. Moscow tolerated Vostok as a country, but did not recognize it, and Soviet soldiers permanently patrolled the border.
