| The country is a federation of nine provincial states, three city states and four island territories<ref>https://gov.ufed.world/</ref> and was founded in its own right in 2003 after the [[Polascianan Union Agreement|formal unification]] of the former [[Eastern People's Republic of The Polamar]] [[File:Easternrepublic-flag.jpg|border|link=The Polamar|18px]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Saracia]] [[File:Saracia-flag.jpg|border|link=Saracia|18px]] which had been at a state of war for several decades. The country's capital, [[Karasicena]], is a semi-autonomous city-state set within the Provincial State of [[Kamchetka]], whilst its largest city, [[Arvi]], lays in the Provincial State of [[Amar]]. Polesian society, culture, politics and history, is also heavily influenced by the country's [[Sar]] majority and [[Noric]], [[Calanian]] and [[People of the Il'm|Il'm]] minorities.

| The country is governed by a directly elected [[President of Polasciana| President]] and an elected [[Central Federal Government of Polasciana|Central Federal Government]] headed by the [[Prime Minister of Polasciana| Prime Minister]]. The current [[President of Polasciana]] is former Federal Council Leader [[Ivan Tattar]], a [[Union Party of Polasciana| Unionist]], who holds a majority in the [[Federal Council of Polasciana|upper-house]].

The current legislative [[session]] began in 2018 and is led by Prime Minister [[Krill Serbin]], leader of the [[Centrist Progressive Conservative Coalition of Polasciana|Coalition]] - who commands a majority in the [[Federal Assembly (Polasciana)|lower-house]] of the [[Polascianan Federal Executive|Federal Executive]], as the ninth [[Federal Ministry]].

| Following its establishment, Polasciana embraced rapid economic reforms, leading to the population becoming more secular and socially progressive under the leadership of [[Koruin Gruaman]] of the [[Polascianan Centrist Party |Centrist Party]], who served as the country's first President. The country also took steps towards offering its citizens universal [[healthcare]] and expanding its developing comprehensive [[school system]]. Between 2007-2008 the [[Unionist-led Ministry]] also invested heavily in national infrastructure.

| Whilst since unification, Polasciana experienced a significant rise in the standard of living and its economy has continually expanded, a reliance on fiscal borrowing resulted in a dramatic rise and reliance on national debt - a significant factor in the country's [[economic destabilisation]] triggered by the [[2007 Gallian Slowdown]] - an economic and political crisis caused by the onset of violence in [[Aardland]] [[File:SAARLAND.jpg|border|link=Aardland|18px]] and the [[2008 Economic Crash]], prompted by the collapse of the [[Unified Capital States]] [[File:FCS.png|border|link=Unified Capital States|18px]] in [[Paripana]]. Preceding the crises, Polasciana had seen stable growth led by manufacturing, agriculture and a rise in trade - particularly an emerging industry in the export of oil and gas from its [[Long Sea]] fields. It was not until January 2015 that the economy returned to growth above 0.5%, and the country is still not expected to reach its pre-crash levels of between 3 to 5% annual growth until at least 2026. Despite increasing economic deregulation since 2003, most large-enterprises in industry and utilities also remain under public control and are managed by local state administrations and other government controlled organisations and bodies.
