Sugovia, officially the Thirteen United Provinces of the Republic of Sugovia (Sugovian: Dreizenn Verenigte Provinzen der Republik Sogowien) is a semi-unitary presidential republic located in North-Central Cordilia. Bordered by Weisserstein to the southeast, Past to the south, Cadiz and Losavra to the north, Ryccia to the northwest, and the Weissersteiner Sea to the east. Centered mostly on the Sugo river, which is also where the country gets its name from.
Humans were recorded to have lived in Sugovia since at least X years ago.
In the 800s, Almans migrated south to what is today Sugovia, Weisserstein, and Clashonia, following the Alman split. These Almans would then inhabit the areas of the Pegathian Confederation, Ozahian Confederation, and the Asparate of Alania.
Sugovia is divided into thirteen provinces, all of which corresponds with the 13 signatories of the Swei Konig Accords which unified Sugovia into a single nation.
Etymology
The name Sugovia came from the river Sugo, which is the largest river in the country. The origins of the name of the Sugo river remains unknown. The earliest mention of the name of the river was in 923 BCE, when it was referred to as the Tsogo by the Old Pegathians, though it is believed the Old Pegathian name came from an earlier people group lost to time.

Politics
The Sugovian government is officially a full presidential republic, with a distinct legislative, executive, and judicative body. However, due to the complex history and the 1934 Republican-Monarchist Deal, the individual Sugovian provinces remain a constitutional monarchy. This means that while Sugovia as a whole is a presidential republic, with the President of Sugovia as both head of state and head of government, within each provinces there is a separate head of state (the monarchs) and head of government (the governors).
Administrative divisions
Sugovia has several levels of subdivision. The first level are the 13 provinces (Provinzen), which has its own monarchs, legislatures, and its own elected governors, which acts as the head of government within the province. A province is divided into Landgraviates (Landgrafshaft), which is the second level administration within the country and has its own regional legislature. The third level are the Cantons (Kantone) and the fourth level are the Municipalities (Gemenden). Saltzemarkt is an outlier, as the province is too small to be divided into landgraves, and has only a single canton.
The history of Sugovia's provinces dates back to the end of the Elbonian Wars, when the modern boundaries were drawn following the coalition's victory against the Elbonian and Triangular empires. Changes in the border occurred when the duchies of Bitteburg and Nordmark unified in 1822, and the unification of the Kirchenstine duchies of Leiyern-Leiyern, Leiyern-Meckloßbrucken, and Leiyern-Frankburg in 1848.
During the Sugovian Congress in 1921, it was agreed that the internal borders of Sugovia would be drawn based on the preexisting borders of the states, and when Sugovian unification occured on October 10, 1935, virtually no changes to the preexisting borders were made. While initially these new provinces hold a large degree of autonomy, each with their own subdivisions based on preexisting subdivisions, by 1948 this was seen as largely inefficient. In 1948, both houses of the Sugovian National Assembly approved and ratified a change in the internal boundaries of the provinces, establishing Landgraviates, Cantons, and Municipalities, which replaced every other subdivision used in the provinces before then. The changes were meant to create a more streamline and efficient internal subdivision for the provinces.
