Republic of Vedena

 * Government: Vedena is run by the Governor and the Senate, which are elected every 8 years by adult male landowners. The Senate is quite stratified and each social class tries to achieve the majority and leadership in it.
 * Governor: Varban Karpov (560AD-572AD), Milo Vlaev the Librarian (572AD-now)
 * Senate:
 * Merchants: 98
 * Nobility: 103
 * "Librarians": 21
 * Religious: 43
 * Economy: Based on logging, agriculture, deep mining, and trade.
 * The ever-growing number of landownerships: Because of our appealing immigration policy, the number of landowners is growing dramatically in different regions of Vedena, but usually across Lutsk.
 * The ever-growing amount of trade: Ancient Vedena was founded by merchants. The amount of trade and, respectively, the influence of the merchants as a cast has slightly increased last decades and doesn't seem to stop expanding.
 * Capital: Lutsk.
 * Demographics: 320'100 people
 * Rural areas:~195'900.
 * Biggest settlements: 124'200; 38.8% live in urban areas.
 * Lutsk (and the nearest territories across it): 82'900.
 * Mukachevo: 10'600.
 * Ivanyvsk': 10'300.
 * Other (population less than 1000): 20'400.
 * Ethnicities: 48% are Volynians, 17% are Romans, 14% are the nomadic tribes, 21% is the rest (Greeks, Dacians, etc.).
 * Religion: 70% are Judaist/Christians, 22% are Vedenian pagans, 8% is the rest beliefs (Illyrican, Bonra, and other pagans).
 * Military:
 * Swordsmen and crossbowmen: 30'000.
 * City guards: 16'000.
 * Feudal armies: Nowadays, the strongest of the nobility have their own, yet little (for now), armies, which may help us halt the barbaric invasion from the north.
 * Big standing army: In order to be protected from the barbarians, we have to have a standing army. Thus, a lot of new city guards, swordmen and crossbowmen were recruited. Unfortunately, it cripples out budget a little.
 * Navy: 420 little trade vessels, 50 medium ones.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Negotiations with the Ostgermaniker: The barbaric invasion must be stopped at any cost! Therefore, we try to sign peace with them in exchange for permission to settle in the northern lands as the autonomy of Vedena with its own military, and internal policy.
 * Events:
 * The restoration of the Great Lutsk Library:​​​​​​ The Great Lutsk Library, often called as "The Northern Library of Alexandria", which contained a lot of great works of art, science, and philosophy, was destroyed by disgusting barbarians a few centuries ago. Fortunately, Milo Vlaev, the elected governor of Vedena, has commissioned reconstruction of the Great Lutsk Library in the City Centre. It was rebuilt in 7 years, outmatching the previous shame of it. It is time to praise knowledge again!
 * The Lutsk Wall: Accounting for the fact Lutsk was violently obliterated last time, Varban Karpov, and later Milo Vlaev commissioned the construction of a big wall across Lutsk in order to protect it from possible invasions. It is said to be one of the greatest walls in lands of the former Roman Empire. Will it save Vedena from future invasions? Time will tell!
 * Current features of Vedena: 
 * The restoration of Lutsk: Since we have returned to our ancient lands, we started rebuilding the former capital, Lutsk. It was known to be one of the greatest cities of all times and it is growing at incredible rates nowadays.
 * Ever-growing landownership: Our immigration policy is providing new immigration with enough lands as their private property to self-sustain so that more and more people settle the territories. It attracts a lot of people across neighbouring regions and countries.
