Pelinai (Pelinese Hinomoto: ペリナイ, Karnetvorian: Пелинай), officially the Kingdom of Pelinai (Pelinese Hinomoto: ペリナイ王国, Karnetvorian: Королевство Пелинай) is a state located in the South Pacific, on the southeastern coast of the continent of Bailtem. It is bordered by Myria, Jazeera, and the Mediterranean Sea on its west, the Eastern Ocean to its east, and the Golden Strait separating continental Pelinai and the island of Zholtiya Zemla. It possesses a humid subtropical climate in the coastal regions of continental Pelinai and on Zholtiya Zemla, as well as humid subtropical highland and alpine climates in its interior. The Pelinese state encompasses a total area of 304,702 km2 and an estimated population of 142.296 million (estimated 2023).

The Kingdom of Pelinai is a federal, parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a largely ceremonial monarch and an independent, democratically elected civilian government headed by the Pelinese State Parliament. Its administrative territory is composed of 45 prefectures and five federal cities, each of which maintain a measure of autonomy in domestic affairs and elect ministers of parliament to represent them in the Pelinese State Parliament. Major cities in Pelinai include Tsugunare on the Marahu River, Hanahi on Pelinai’s western border, Shizukaiyō on the eastern Seiko Sea, Dainēsa in the western Yukisora Mountains, Yoruniyuki, in northern Sevaria, [[Mizu-Soi-No-Machi (Pacifica)|Mizu-Soi-No-Machi] on coastal Sevaria, Yuziniryesu, in central Pelinai, Peraminato, in the former borderlands between Stelossia and Sevaria, Korolyeviya, in the Yukisora Mountains, Letograd, which rests on the southern peninsula of Stelossia, Zholtograd, on the western coast of the island of Zholtiya Zemla, and the capital of Pelograd on the northeastern Mediterranean coast.

The Kingdom of Pelinai was first formed by the Kingdom of Stelossia in 1781 AD, after the conquest of the Third Loshkarian Karaltsate, though the area in which it resides has remained continuously inhabited by civilization since the early Bronze Age. The first major empire to exist in what is now Pelinai was the Neo-Samarahi Empire, which conquered large areas of Milayakh and the South Bailtemmic Plain before giving way to the horse nomads of the Great Hunyar Karaltsate. The later faltering of central Hunyar control in eastern Milayakh was followed by the establishment of the Loshkarian Dakaraltsate of the south, the Yukisoran Karaltsate of the east, and the Sevar Karaltsate of the northeast, all of which waged repeated wars of varying success against both each other and against nearby states such as the Kingdom of Samara and the Kingdom of Stelossia that had arisen or gained independence since the withdrawal of the Hunyars.

History

Prehistory

Bronze Age

The Bronze Age in eastern Milayakh began around 2700 BC, with the establishment of Qagāmā as first city-state to employ bronze metalworking, and ends with the early adoption of iron tools and weapons by the Salūshi Empire around 1300 BC.

City-state era

The earliest known civilization to be founded in the modern region of Pelinai was the city-state of Shūr (Samaric: ܫܘܼܪ), which was established just west of the Marahu Delta region around 5000-4500 BC. Its founding was later followed by the proliferation of many similar independent cities throughout the fertile Marahu River Valley region as high crop surpluses facilitated the development and spread of division of labor and the early establishment of complex cultures. The city state period then continued in Pelinai for the next two millenia until the expansionist period of Qagāmā (Samaric: ܩܲܓܵܡܵܐ), which was a Marahic city state established around 2700 BC in the eastern Marahu Delta near modern-day Tsugunare. It attained regional power status in the wider Marahu River Valley region during the period from 2500 BC to roughly 2200 BC through multiple advances in warfare and administration, such as the early adoption of the wheeled chariot from nearby horse nomads, and became the first known multi-city empire in Pelinai when it conquered and established direct rulership of the nearby city-state of Ōtā in circa 2410 BC. It is believed to have attained a maximum size of roughly 10-13 total conquered and vassalized cities, in addition to their nearby villages and Qagāmā itself. The empire later declined in the reign of king Marākish III (r. 2246 BC - 2215 BC) as increasing competition from nearby city-states such as Ihēlāk (roughly 40km east of modern-day Tsugunare), which had adopted its technological advancements along with a form of the Qagāmic script, began to compromise its ability to maintain control over the satellite cities that Qagāmā relied on to sustain itself.

The eventual conquest of Qagāmā in 2184 BC by the eastern city-state of Salūsh (Samaric: ܣܲܠܘܼܫ) finally ended the early Qagāmic Empire and returned the Marahu region to an era of primarily city state based civilizations, though some states such as Salūsh, Ihēlāk, and Maraqāyn (later referred to as the Early Samarahi Kingdom after 2061 BC) succeeded in forming small kingdoms controlling a handful of cities and tributaries. Other states that achieved prominence during this time period include Hānāyh, which developed the proto-Samaric script (also referred to as the Hānāyhi script) that replaced the Neo-Qagāmic script in the Marahu region during the late 1900s BC and later developed into the modern Samaric script, as well as Kōnēriyk, whose stoneworkers greatly influenced eastern Milayakhi architecture and monument-building practices of the Bronze and Iron Ages.

The last major empire of the second central Milayakhi city state era was Ihēlāki Empire, which succeeded in conquering and annexing the Early Samarahi Kingdom and several other nearby city states in the Marahu Delta region by 1800 BC. It was the last major regional empire of the Bronze Age to use the old Qagāmic script in its writing system after adopting it around the 2050s BC, and established a thriving empire for the time period. The Ihēlāki Empire entered its golden age around the 1750s BC after establishing firm control of the delta region, becoming a strong cultural and economic center in the central Milayakh region through its tributaries and through the export of goods such as bronze tools and rough gemstones. The Ihēlāki state was a strong candidate to establish the first greater empire in the Marahu River Valley before a plague of an unknown disease swept through the region during the 1600s BC, crippling the Ihēlāki economy and prompting revolts by several of its tributary states. While most of its tributaries were retained at great cost and the similarly weakened status of its neighbors protected the Empire from immediate invasion, it nevertheless entered a period of decline from 1600 to 1500 BC after losing the economically significant city-state of Maraqāyn as a vassal.

Geography

Climate

Most regions in Pelinai possess a humid subtropical climate common to southern Bailtem, with alpine weather being present along the Yukisora Mountains running from Sevaria to the Golden Strait and the Mediterranean Sea. The northern half of Sevaria, in northern Pelinai, possesses a tropical rainforest climate with consistently high temperatures, humidity, and precipitation throughout the year.

Administrative divisions

Pelinai is a federal state with four levels of administrative division. The first level consists of eight regions: Samara, the Marahu Delta, Loshkaria, Stelossia-Zholtiya, Yukisora, North Stelossia, Yuzhkraya, and Old Sevaria. The regions together contain a total of fifty constituent divisions, consisting of five federal cities and 45 standard prefectures. Each prefecture is then subdivided into districts, and from then into urban municipalities and rural counties; federal cities are divided into wards. The regions are largely non-governing, being primarily used for the administration of organizations like Cossack hosts and university systems; most government functions not executed at the federal level are performed by prefecture-level governments and below.

Military

Military matters of the Kingdom of Pelinai are governed by the Pelinese Ministry of Defense, which manages the Pelinese Armed Forces as well as military-adjacent entities like the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence (GUVR). The Pelinese state maintains significant offensive and defensive capability in the realms of both conventional warfare and grey-zone operations. The Pelgvardiya, a sub-branch of the Pelinese Armed Forces, also serves as the internal troops and rural police force of Pelinai.

Foreign relations

Economy

Agriculture

Agriculture comprises a major sector of the Pelinese economy, with high crop yields per unit land area and a high degree of mechanization. Approximately 8.1 million hectares of land are used for agriculture in Pelinai, which is one of the largest global producers of major food crops like corn, potatoes, rice, and soybeans, as well as other agricultural products like cherries, chickens and eggs, citrus fruits, cotton, butter beans and green beans, peaches, peanuts, pork, roses, seafood, squash, strawberries, tea, and watermelons. Cultivation is divided by the local climate and terrain; the humid subtropical regions of the coast and the Marahu River Valley produce cotton, rice, and peaches, while the alpine inland regions of the Yukisora Mountains farm cold-weather crops like potatoes.

Agricultural productivity per unit area is relatively high in Pelinai due to a variety of factors, such as extensive mechanization, the abundance of highly fertile volcanic ash soil, and the subsidized use of pest-resistant genetically modified crops. The widespread improvement of rural infrastructure since 2000 has also increased efficiency by reducing the amount of spoilage loss between harvest and sale.

In addition to conventional agricultural products, Pelinai commercially produces a number of goods not commonly seen abroad; these include alligator meat and leather, frog legs, and scuppernongs.

Fishing & aquaculture

Historical difficulty with meeting domestic food needs in Pelinai through purely land-based agriculture prompted the development of significant aquaculture, fishing, and fish packing industries through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Pelinai is currently one of the largest producers of seafood by tonnage, half of which is farmed using aquaculture; major produced food types include carp, catfish, crabs, Crawfish, mussels, sardines, seaweed, shrimp, and squid.

The largest producer of ocean-sourced fish in Pelinai is Borushoriba Fish Company (BSK) in Yuuziminato, Pelograd Prefecture, which was founded in 1907 and supplies a large portion of sardines, tuna, and cod fished in the eastern Mediterranean zone and the Eastern Ocean. Its major domestic customers include Pelinese grocery store chain Bisuri and canned food company Tsurikana. Major foreign purchasers of fresh and frozen fish from BSK include Myria, Sallodesia, and Stoinia.

Tsurikana Packing Ltd., founded in Kurashuni in 1983, is the largest canned goods company in Pelinai by total estimated value. In addition to canned soups and fruits, Tsurikana cans sardines, tuna, herring, mackerel, and other fish that are produced in Pelinai or imported from suppliers in Sedunn. Major customers include Bisuri Stores Co. and the Pelinese Armed Forces. Large volumes of canned fish are also exported to foreign purchasers like Sedunn.

Floriculture

Pelinai possesses a longstanding floricultural tradition, with various types of herbaceous and tree-based flower being widely cultivated both for decorative purposes and for use in perfume and foods. Flowers commonly farmed for food and perfumery traditionally include hibiscus, orange blossoms, roses, and Sakura.

Forestry & silviculture

Pelinai has a growing timber and tree-farming industry that has grown in size since its initial foundation in the 2000s. Major produced woods include cherry, fir, palmate maple, oak, pine, and red maple, of which pine is the most commonly farmed tree. Farmed pine timber is exported to Sallodesia and Sedunn, either as lumber or in Sedunn’s case as wood pulp for the manufacturing of paper.

Energy

Pelinai has a nationalized energy grid, with all providers of electricity and electricity distribution services being owned in whole or in part by the Pelinese state. Nuclear fission-derived energy is the largest source of electricity generation capacity, and a combination of light-water and molten salt reactors contribute 76% of total Pelinese grid capacity. Another 19% of capacity is provided by wind energy, and the remaining 5% is a mix of solar, waste incineration, and fossil fuels. Emergency capacity is provided by natural gas fueled power stations. The Pelinese government is actively pursuing the expansion of thorium-fueled nuclear power plants.

Finance

Pelinai possesses a relatively self-contained financial services industry, which accounted for roughly 4.5% of GDP in 2020; major financial institutions include the Sofiya Stock Exchange and Sofiya Commodities Exchange, the the investment bank Nikolevic-Aguraya, and the state-owned commercial bank Sofiya Harmonized Bank. The central bank responsible for issuing Pelinese currency, executing monetary policy, and performing other central bank duties is the Reserve Bank of Pelinai.

Pelinese financial institutions operate under strictly enforced mandates regarding leverage caps, capital requirements, and other financial risk management parameters, and it is widely regarded as having one of the most conservative financial systems in the world. Deposits in commercial banks complying with enhanced risk management rules are additionally insured by the state-operated Bank Deposit Insurance Directorate, which protects deposits up to ◎100,000 from loss to a bank run.

Infrastructure

The Pelinese government maintains a high-quality infrastructure network throughout Pelinai, though gaps in utility access (especially internet cable) continue to exist in remote areas such as high-altitude areas of the northern Yukisora Mountains. The principal method of long-range travel and freight transportation in Pelinai is by railway in most areas, with freight traffic capacity being supplemented by navigable waterways like the Marahu River.

Aviation

Railways

The state-owned Pelinai Standard Railways operates the majority of the Pelinese intercity passenger and freight rail system. High-speed passenger routes link all designated major cities in Pelinai, often with direct changeover stations to transfer from intercity rail to intracity metro trains; smaller side routes also connect to most larger towns, though with high speed being only 60% of track. The freight rail system is also highly developed to support the bulk transportation needs of Pelinese mining and heavy industries, with extensive coverage in and between major shipping ports, industrial districts, extracting industry sites, and agricultural freight loading stations.

Pelinai Standard Railways maintains an undersea rail tunnel running from Letograd to northern Zholtiya.

Seaports and waterways

Oceangoing freight traffic in Pelinai is concentrated along its Mediterranean coast; major seaports include Hanahi, Tsugunare, Shizukaiyō, Pelograd, Letograd, and Yuziniryesu, along with Zholtograd to a lesser extent. The sea connection of Tsugunare Harbor is facilitated by the Marahu River and Canal System, which maintains a navigable river depth of 9.0 meters from the primary channel of the Marahu Delta up to Tsugunare; smaller canals and dredged rivers also facilitate freight traffic throughout the wider Marahu Delta region, which primarily uses them for the export of agricultural products.

The largest harbor by tonnes of shipping moved per year is Pelograd, which supplanted the historically significant port city of Letograd after the latter sustained severe infrastructural damage in the early 1980s. The nearby satellite city of Benzegorod is Pelinai’s primary terminal for the transfer of petroleum, LPG, and natural gas between it and other Mediterranean nations, and is the busiest in Pelinai by volume of petrochemicals transferred.

Utilities

Manufacturing

The manufacturing base of the Kingdom of Pelinai as it exists now first arose in the 1990s under the Pelinese Ministry of Economics’s effort to introduce modern industrial standards to the nation during postwar reconstruction. Mediterranean Precision Manufacturing Systems was founded as a joint public-private company in 1993 under the Made in Pelinai 2010 Initiative, and other companies like Pelektronik and Aetherdyne would also receive substantial investment from the Pelinese state under the newly established state capitalism system. MPMS, which produces CNC machine tools and other industrial manufacturing tooling, then became a major supplier for Pelinese companies that were establishing, overhauling, and modernizing manufacturing facilities as part of Made in Pelinai 2010. It now produces EUV lithography machines and other ultra high precision devices as well as machine tools and other standard equipment.

Aerospace

Pelinai’s state-backed domestic aerospace development and manufacturing industry is one of the largest in Pacifica, and is supported primarily by sales to the Royal Pelinese Air Force and domestic airlines. Aircraft production facilities are generally concentrated in eastern Pelinai, especially in the cities of Samoryōruta and Hanakoroga. Domestic demand for aircraft and aircraft components is great enough to support a wide variety of manufacturers; major aircraft producers include Aetherdyne, Torikov, Kaiyoko-Ruzikov, Nanohi, Berkut IDB, and Harukovic, supported by components producers like Tyr IDB, Yuzimashi, Pelektronik, and Belahi Aviation. The total employment of the Pelinese aerospace industry, including supplier companies of aviation-specific components, is approximately 200,000 workers.

Electronics

Sakanov Electronics, an integrated device manufacturer producing semiconductors and electronics components founded in 1995, was one of the first companies in the world to adopt the EUV lithography method of producing components in 2018. It produces semiconductor components, integrated circuits, and computer and server parts such as SSDs, hard disk drives, RAM sticks, motherboards, CPUs, and GPUs, as well as other device components. Major customers include Aetherdyne, Mediterranean Precision Manufacturing Systems, Pelektronik, and the Pelinese state as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of State Industry.

Pelektronik is a military hardware manufacturer headquartered in Sankt Perinaigrad that specializes in the design and manufacture of military radars, sensors, guidance systems, fire control systems, and other weaponized electronic devices, as well as some civilian equipment such as weather and air traffic control radars. It produces many of the electronic components found in Pelinese military aircraft, naval vessels, and other weapon systems, and is a significant defense contractor for the Pelinese Ministry of Defense. Major users of Pelektronik-sourced devices include Aetherdyne, Shiroimizu Naval Yard, Nanohi, Berkut IDB, and Fuyumako Heavy Engineering.

Machining & metalworking

Korolyeviya Metallics, founded 1984, is a metalworking conglomerate headquartered in Korolyeviya and a major global producer of bar stock carbon steel, stainless steel, high-speed steel and tool steels, and other steel alloys, as well as primary forms of the aforementioned metals. It also operates metal casting facilities tailored towards high-volume production for major manufacturers. Its major customers include Aetherdyne, Kazamatsuri Design Bureau, Yusuko, Sakanov Electronics, Mediterranean Precision Manufacturing Systems, Pelkosmos, and Zheleznov Motors.

Setaiyoka GK, founded in Korolyeviya in its current form in 1992, is the largest Pelinese operator of metal casting and primary forms plants processing nonferrous metals such as aluminium, magnesium, copper, and exotic superalloys such as those based on nickel. It produces a plurality of die-cast nonferrous metal products for use in the entire range or commercial and industrial applications. Major customers are Aetherdyne, Sakanov Electronics, Mediterranean Precision Manufacturing Systems, Zheleznov Motors, and Tyr IDB.

Petrochemicals

Kurotsukai petrochemicals, a state-owned petrochemicals corporation founded in Zholtograd in 1998, is the largest Pelinese manufacturer of most major petrochemical products and materials. Its primary products include synthetic rubbers like nitrile rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber as well as various plastics like high-density and low-density polyethylene. Major customers include Aetherdyne, Sakanov Electronics, Mediterranean Precision Manufacturing Systems, and Pelektronik. High volumes of synthetic rubber materials in particular are exported to Sallodesia and Stoinia.

Pelinai possesses multiple state and private manufacturers producing liquid-form polyester resin, vinylester resin, epoxy reactants, as well as other classifications of thermoset polymers. Most domestic Pelinese production of thermoset resins was developed to supply local consumption by manufacturers using them in coatings for electronics and electrical components, body panels for motor vehicles and aircraft, boat hulls, and other applications, though a limited quantity is also exported abroad.

Mining and extraction

The Kingdom of Pelinai possesses one of the largest total supplies of mineral ores in Pacifica due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Rift and other tectonic features, as well as abundant petrochemical and natural gas resources. The entirely public-owned Pelinese mining industry, led by the Ministry for Strategic Resources, mines and processes a wide variety of metals, rocks, and other products; prominent deposits include the Korolyeviya Igneous Complex, the Tanaka Mine’s iron oxide copper gold deposit, the Mediterranean Massive Sulfide Ore Deposits, and the kimberlite pipes at Ivanov Mine and North Creek Mine. Other deposits exist, including large heavy mineral sands deposits along the coastline of mainland Pelinai. Resources extracted by Pelinese companies in significant quantities include aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, boron, cadmium, caesium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gallium, germanium, gold, hafnium, indium, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, platinum group metals, rare earth elements, rhenium, selenium, silicon, silver, sulfur, tantalum, tellurium, thorium, tin, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, zinc, and zirconium. The Pelinese economy benefits greatly from its reliable access to domestic production of technology-critical elements, and the Kingdom of Pelinai is the only South Pacifican producer of several.

the Pelinese Ministry of Strategic Resources engages in experimental deep sea mining in cooperation with a Myrian firm, particularly around the Eastern Ocean Trench. Harvested ores are primarily metalliferous sediments and polymetallic nodules, which together contain primarily cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, titanium, vanadium, and zinc. PMoSI-harvested metals are processed in Pelinese facilities like Letograd Metal Refinery Complex before being sold to either domestic or foreign manufacturing facilities for further usage.

Gemstones

In addition to minerals, Pelinai also mines gemstones in relatively high volume. These include diamonds, orthoclase and moonstone, peridot, jade, zircon, and various species of garnet, tourmaline, beryl, corundum, quartz, and spinel. Mines near Korolyeviya are also notable for producing trapiche variants of emerald, aquamarine, sapphire, garnets, and other varieties of gemstones. Gemstones and gemcutting have held a place of prominence in Pelinese culture since the early 19th century, and the production of faceted stones and jewelry is a well developed industry with many dedicated companies and artisans in Pelinai.

Quarrying

Pelinai quarries multiple varieties of rock for construction and industrial usage, including granite, marble, basalt, mica, and slate. Most quarries are in the western mountains of Pelinai, where a broad selection of high quality stone can be found. Northern Yukisora also produces significant volumes of kaolinite and other clays.

Atmospheric extraction

The Kingdom of Pelinai is one of the largest exporters of noble gases in the world due to its large cryogenic fractional air distillation industry, which proliferated in the early 21st century in order to take advantage of consistently low electricity prices. The largest complex performing CFAD is in Letograd, with smaller facilities in Zholtograd and Korolyeviya.

Languages

The official national language of the Kingdom of Pelinai is Pelinese Hinomoto, which is spoken at a high proficiency level by approximately 98% of the population. Pelinese Hinomoto retains a high degree of similarity to other Hinomoto variants in most respects, but contains many Karnetvorian- and Stelossian-based loanwords and may substitute the letter “R” with the letter “L” in certain words. Stellosian, Karnetvorian, Livanan, Loshkarian, Samaric, Sevarian, Spirasian Tarnese, and Yukisoran are all prominent regional or minority languages in Pelinai with varying degrees of distribution and prevalence. School students in Pelinai typically learn both Pelinese Hinomoto and a regional language since preschool, and begin studying their choice of either Karnetvorian or international standard Hinomoto during primary school.

Education

The Pelinese education system is divided into preschool (ages 4-5), primary school (ages 6-12), high school (ages 13-18), and higher education (university). Education is compulsory in Pelinai, and parents must either take their children to a school or provide them an equivalent homeschooling education whose quality is verified annually. Universities in Pelinai are publicly funded and students can receive significant education subsidies in exchange for high performance in classwork. Trade school is also maintained as an institution that provides both early college classes and classes to become certified in the practice of a non-university profession such as masonry, construction, or machining. The education system in Pelinai reaches the vast majority of Pelinese citizens, 99.9% of which are literate.

Technical universities are emphasized in Pelinese education, and most degree holders work in STEM professions. Foreign exchange programs for Pelinese universities exist, and degrees from engineering colleges like the Korolyeviya Institute of Science and Engineering or Dainēsa State Technical University are highly reputable abroad. Degrees in non-STEM subjects like art and writing are classified separately, and academic programs that bestow them are administered through different institutions.
